Q&A

Why is Doctor Strange considered a risky Marvel property?

It hasn't been introduced elsewhere in the MCU, deals with multiple realities and mystical arts unfamiliar to general audiences, and risks either confusing non-comic fans or disappointing fanboys depending on how dumbed-down the adaptation becomes

How did Paige's pregnancy announcement surprise listeners?

Her relationship with Alberto Del Rio was announced on Friday, and by Saturday she was confirmed pregnant, with the news coming suddenly and unexpectedly from out of nowhere

What happened to Tom Lombardi after 30 years with WWE?

He was released after three decades with the company, having worked as the Brooklyn Brawler and later as a promo coach who evaluated wrestlers' microphone skills during interviews

It is 701 on the East Coast. It is 401 on the West Coast. It is the 15th of May in the year of our Lord 2016.

It is season 6, episode 42, 346 times this voice has welcomed you to the clubhouse podcast. We are live every Sunday, night 7 Eastern for Pacific. Your one stop shop for all things pop culture, welcome.

We don't care how you listen, whether you're live on you stream, whether you're listening on our archive, whether you subscribe and I, soon, don't matter, we're glad you're here. My name is Rob and boy, it's been a lazy day and he's nothing wrong with that. But I am not alone for this particular episode, joining me across the desk as he tends to do is a man that many would consider in top mint condition.

He is Chad, welcome sir. I see what you did there. I see that I did there.

Very smart, very clever. Just does again this week. I took a shower, I don't know.

So did I. I got here. Very nice.

Do you want to send a shout out to the friend of the show, Phil Mar, who graduated from college this weekend? Got his degree, getting ready to educate the minds of America. Got to spend some time with his family and as well as his wife's family.

Good times were had by all this weekend, I think. Good people. I kind of miss him.

I need to make some time. I also got to see my great nephew and I was able to regale him with a Batman tour so big that came with a cape and matching little sockies. He was the talk of dinner last night, I will put it to you that way.

And the logo on the torso big thing, because it was Batman's torso on the big, the logo was embroidered. Very classy. Wow, very classy.

You don't see a lot of embroidery done, Uncle Rob throws down when he has to. Just saying, had a great time this weekend, preparing for another week. We start every show with corrections, we actually have two from last week.

We were talking about match game, it was Brett Summers, who we couldn't think about. King is drawing a total blank on that. And the blazers were not ahead of the Warriors last Sunday as I thought they were.

I read something wrong, which we'll talk about here in NBA talks. Let us get rolling with a little bit of NASCARING for the kids. This week was the triple A 400 drive for autism from Dover International Speedway.

Your top 10 finishes are as follows, starting in 25th, winding up in 10th place. And the number 6 Ford, Trevor Bane. I feel like he's like a superhero to Riga.

It does sound kind of like a kick. Starting in 7th, we're finishing in 9th and the number 78 Toyota Martin True X Junior. Starting in 18th, finishing in 8th, Ryan Blaney, the stones, what they call him.

Now they really don't. Starting in 6th, finishing in 7th, the number 11 Toyota Denny Hamlin. Starting in 14th, winding up in 6th, Brad Kanzelowski and the number 2 Ford.

Starting in 9th, finishing in 5th, the number 41 Chevrolet Kurt Boush. Only one Boush in the top 10 this week. DC King starts 11th, finishes 4th, and the number 5 Chevrolet Chase Elliott.

I feel like they should name the playoffs after him. The Chase Elliott for the cut, oh God. Starts 13th, winds up in the bronze medal.

Starting in 23rd, winding up in the silver medal this week. That's a heck of a race for Kyle Larson in the number 2. I'm sorry, number 42 Chevrolet.

And starting 10th and finishing first before everybody else does. And the number 20 Toyota Matt Kanzeth wins the race at Dover. Let's go to your sprint cup standings because we're right about the halfway points, sir.

Russ, the brush didn't want to last so he's in the chat room. Want to say a happy early dating anniversary to Russ, he and his lady celebrating another milestone here very, very soon. Congratulations.

I'm post on social media the other day. Right now the odd man out. Order up for AJ Olmendinger.

He is three points out of 16th right now. He is three points behind Casey Kane who's up to this week, jumping one this week. The stone Ryan Blaney.

Jane Meemick Murray drops to the 14. Denny Hamlin stays at 13. Matt Kanzeth makes a two shot jump to number 12.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Another not-tap-tap in finisher for him, he drops two slots to 11 as does the new Marshall and town Austin Dillon. Martin Truex Jr.

hops one to nine, jumping to the yaaah, no drops one to eight, chase Eliot. That's just that's a NASCAR name right there, brother. He jumps four spots to number seven, Brad Kazelowski stays in six, speaking of six times six times six times six times six times six times six times six time, sprint cup champion Jimmy Johnson shoots up to fifth, actually he drops one to fifth, Carl's back flip, Edwards drops one to fourth, Kurt Boosh, drums two to third, Kyle Boosh is nine points, our 11 points ahead of him in second and he is 21 points behind Kevin Harvik, who is your current standing in the leader.

Some day I'm gonna learn how to do math and that's kynipy. Awesome. Something to party boy theme.

It's about to happen, brother. Right here in the studio, I'm fist bumping. Our next race is a Saturday race.

It is the NASCAR sprint all star race at Charlotte Motors speedway. You want to guess where that is? Uh, I'm assuming a Charlotte North Carolina.

Oh, okay. Okay. And then of course next week's gonna be a WWE payback.

So we want to go ahead and let you know that that race, which will be the race after that, which is Memorial Day weekend, because we're gonna take that week off. It's going to be the Coca-Cola 600, always happens the same weekend. And I will also be in Charlotte as the Indy 500 for Formula 1 happens in Indianapolis.

That's the same weekend. Good Lord. So big sports weekend.

Oh, come on. Coming up. Okay.

I've got to give you it. Because we're probably, we may or may not be on the air, Sunday July 5th for a project that we're not allowed to talk about just yet. We're waiting on some clearance on that.

But Sunday June 5th, the exaltal we paint winners for 100. I'm sorry. That's a thing.

That is a thing, sir. How is it? Why?

How is it that NASCAR races on Mother's Day or the Mother's Day weekend? But they don't race Father's Day weekend. That's weird to me.

That does seem a little backwards. I think you kind of want to flip the script on that. Yeah.

But that's to be thinking again. Well, I guess mom gives a chance for the kids to take the mom out for, but that's a Saturday night. But that's a Saturday night race.

Okay. Okay. You could race Saturday night for Father's Day or even Sunday afternoon for Father's Day.

Give dad a day off on a much longer NASCAR. Yeah. Yeah.

True. There's something. All right.

Let's do some TV talk, shall we? Okay. Congratulations to Sleepy Hollow.

Fox has given them season four. There were some rumors swirling that they might have been on the bubble, but they have survived. They haven't watched an episode.

That sister loves that show. I've heard great things. But again, when there's 140 programs on my DVR currently, I am finally caught up on Marble's Avengers Assemble, got caught up on that today.

We're slowly, but surely working our way towards, towards getting able to watch movies again. Okay. Speaking of things that are going away, we got some cancellations to talk about CMT as canceled Redneck Island.

So Steve Austin only has 13 jobs now. So good for that. He talked about it on his podcast on Thursday, and he was really, really like he was totally cool about it.

He was like, man, had a great time on that show. I want to thank everybody involved. But that's how I found out of was he announced it because I haven't read that anywhere.

That's the first I've heard about it. ABC has canceled Asian Carter, the Muppets, Castle, Nashville, and they have officially passed on Marble's most wanted that will not be a thing now. Wow.

So you're right out those two characters to put them in a spin-off and ooh, the spin-offs. So I've got to think they're probably going to bring them back next season somehow, some way. Well, it depends on how much longer that series plan is on sticking around.

Give me more Adrian Policki, I'm good, from Sam. The CW does pick up super girl after CBS goes, good. So and if they're smart, they keep it right in the same slot.

Yeah. Because you're set your APM Eastern time slot, 4 to 4 out of 5 days is going to be the WB, basically, because you'll have super girl, flash, arrow, and legends of tomorrow. Now they have picked up a season order for this Riverdale, which I'm, man, it's Archie meets supernatural.

Yeah. Basically, but you don't put that on Friday nights and you've got comic properties all the way across the board of the eccentric, an 80's turn. Do we do we need an Archie?

I mean, seriously, I mean, did we need a vampire diary spin-off? Well, because vampires are hot. I mean, vampires are hot.

I mean, vampires. It's an answer. Well, I mean, like you had, you had true blood and you had twilight still in their, kind of in their prime, whatever they started talking about vampire diaries.

How many, how many seasons has that thing been around now? Don't you have me lying? That's what I'm saying.

It's had staying power because it's still riding that wave, of course, the wave could crash into the shore any minute, but I forgot that Nina Dobre of though, and she's had a little something work. Well, they struck while the iron was hot, but I really don't think this Archie Riverdale thing is going. We started in oh nine.

Okay. So this would be going into 2016, seven seasons, at least, you know, you got that going for you. So you got that.

Also, sci-fi has green with a pilot for Krypton. I think we need Riverdale more than we need this. You think, yeah, I mean, we've done this already, kind of.

And I'm sorry, but if, if this take on Krypton is going to be the Superman version of Gotham, I'll pass, I'm three or four of a sudden behind up. You ate, this isn't the finale this weekend, the finale of almost everything is this coming week. I mean, Empire.

Well, I think Arrow and Flash have another week to go. I thought this was it for them, I know Chicago Fire Chicago PD or shows I'm following there for now these are this week, let me look and verify that for you. Now, let's see season four scrolling down, yeah, there is one next week.

May 25th this is season finale, so I'm assuming that I know that the legends of tomorrow finale I believe is this week, yes, but Arrow and Flash, I think are both next week. Okay. So, there's that going for you.

Let's see, FX has said the strain and your the worst will return in August, I've heard a lot of good people take good things about the strain. All I know is when you're, when you're first promo shot at something going into somebody's I, I'm out, that freaks me out, I'm out, you what, what then on the billboards, that's what I'm saying, yeah, Fox has given a series order to both lethal weapon and the xorcist a series order sir, so get ready for that, oh, something that we were talking about this past week at work, we were like, is, is rush hour done, is it? I don't, so we looked it up, it was a 13th order season and it's slated to go all the way through June 23rd episode, let's see, 987 episodes six or seven aired, that's 10987, so episode eight arrows this week, it's apparently on Thursday, Thursday nights and we have not given this a second of our time, which was, I think it would be a second about too long, it might be too, it's just, no, there, there are certain things that just don't need to exist and that's one of them, uh, preacher next Sunday night, that, you're ready?

Oh yeah, I mean, they did the, I think they are the, the first or the first two episodes that South by Southwest and people were going crazy over it, so that premier is next Sunday night on AMC, now I'm curious, so we're these following a show that you, you've stopped watching apparently, I mean, have you completely bailed on fear, they're working that pretty much pretty much, I mean, just talking to the front of the show Kevin Daniel says we can, he said his wife's barely holding onto this one, it's, I, I, I feel almost as turned off by fear the walking dead as I do got them, it is just my thing with got interesting got them has moments, but not in the same way that agents of shield has moments, yeah, like agents of shield, I'm got them to the poor, I'm just like, I'm done, this is the last episode I'm watching, and then they do some of them, I'm like slap you pulled me back in, Gotham has these weird sprinkled moments that happen in the middle of episodes and but see to me, the show does it, they've written themselves into a corner and they don't know how to get out of it and see to me, they're, they're quote unquote moments as you put it, feels like a Mick Foley cheap heat, yeah, it, it does, I'm just like, I know why you're doing we're here in Gotham City, yeah, and I'm just having the air, no, I'm not feeling it, I just not feeling it. Oh, Russ says something about Billy Ray Cyrus is the King on CMT, I don't know exactly what you're referring to, sir. He's talking superhero Sunday flashed in Supergirl, no, I need no more shows on Sundays, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, are you caught up on Game of Thrones, by the way, yes, did you enjoy the picture that I put on a Facebook yesterday?

What did you just go look at if you're, you know, that's what I have to be caught up on Game of Thrones, but if you're not a game of Thrones person and won't make any sense to you. I thought last week was a good episode, was it a great episode, but it was a good episode, so I'm expecting big things tonight for Game of Thrones, which we'll watch when we get out there. Not sure if you've heard about this, UFC is in talks to sell to a different ownership group.

UFC is, yes, right now, negotiating prices 3.5 to 4 billion, and it should get it. So, did you ever get into some of anarchy? No, there's a spinoff.

That's currently inscript development at FX is going to be called Mayans MC. Unfortunately, the lovely and talented in Mrs. Irvine is not currently any or near the studio.

You just saw it. Funny. You got to admit funny, sir.

I feel suckered in, though. So, I'll have to find out what her thoughts on this are because I don't really know what the reference is, and I'm not sure if Don's checked in or not, but I'll have to check with him as well. Speaking of spinoffs, the blacklist and other one of my wife's favorites is getting a spinoff called the blacklist redemption with the characters of Tom Keen and Scotty Hargrave, the latter of those two played by the fam Kajansen.

Really, they kind of introed his character on their season finale this past week. And I don't really want to go into because it's only been 48 hours or 72 hours. And so, I don't know if people are watching the blacklist or caught up or not.

So, I really don't want to, you know, I'm not the guy that's going to spoil things the day after stuff airs. Super hero news. You know, I told you I stopped liking that Facebook page right as you should.

Because now twice in the last six months, they've spoiled something for me the day after it aired. Yeah. To me, if you do it once, you're, that's one time too many.

Oh, we have somebody in the chat room. I'm not exactly sure who it is, but they said they feel shows keep jumping this shark and I agree. And it's like, they start to jump in the midterm stops, but they said they're looking forward to game of thrones.

I just feel like this is going to be a big season for game of thrones. It's just, it's one of those things that I really feel like we're marching towards something really, really big. And I've got theories, but I don't want to share them on the show.

Because again, people might not be caught up. I hope we're not just being, I really dug the end of last week's episode though. It's like, ooh, it just got real.

Yeah. Robot chicken. Going to be doing a walking dead special.

Well, this draw you to watch it episode of Robot Chicken, probably not. So they didn't say when they're just coming up. Any any TV news that I'm missing this week?

This this rumor shake up on Empire with Jesse Smollett talking about he's done with the show. And this would be who the kid that plays Jamal like the the the the best singer in the family. Okay.

Because I don't watch Empire. So they had a cliffhanger ending on last week's episode. And was it the finale or the finale?

This is finale. This week. Okay.

All right. Fair enough. So there are faiths that are kind of hanging in the balance.

His character being chief among them. And he kind of put out a really cryptic tweet of, you know, Empire has been good to me time to make music and movies y'all or something like that. And then apparently there were some wrangling with the contracts like he wants to get paid as much as, you know, cookie and Lucius is, you know, you're talking about other works of.

Yeah. Yeah. Those are the stars, the anchors of that show.

And they're probably not going to be willing to part with that kind of money. So he may be it may be smoking mirrors. I don't know.

We'll find Russ says starting June 25th ABC is going to have a game show block with $100,000 perimid, you know, who's hosted that, right? $100,000 perimid? Uh-huh.

No. Would be one Michael Strahan. Oh, good.

And I guess ABC's going to be carrying a match game that we talked about last week with Alec Baldwin and celebrity family feud. So Alex, not going to be on NBC. That's it.

I guess not. But I mean, that's a heck of a little block they got going there. Yeah.

I'm kind of fading with the family feud thing. It's not as much fun as it used to be. I don't know what it is.

But I was always a fan of the pyramid. Boy, this, and I'm, you know, I'm a fan of a match game. We were having another massive resurgence of, of prime time game shows.

I'm good with it. I'm a fan of show fan. It's just weird how that, how that cycle keeps going.

And I missed it on Friday night. And I'm glad that's because that prompted something else that we need to talk about. I wouldn't say friends of the show, but people that I follow on Facebook and Twitter via our cabs.

These are the people that make those awesome video, not fitting about pinball machines. It had the plasma screens in them. We're on apparently on Shark Tank this past week.

Really. I saw it on Facebook today. I don't know how it wound up.

So good look to them. Yeah. Yeah, because I'll tell you what.

That's someone you want to invest in. Yeah. That's a smart it's pretty fun.

Look them up. I mean, it would take me way to do how long to explain it. But they do some really cool stuff.

Let's do a little bit of NBA talk. Our long national nightmarish over. The heater finally out of the playoffs.

This has been, you know, I love my heat. But I was ready for them to be out of the playoffs. This was not good for my blood pressure.

Do you're relieved by this? Yes, but I can't. Because they were going to get dismantled by the cabs anyway.

So let's go get rested up for next year, boys. And news that really kind of shocked me. Okay.

See, takes down the spurs. So your Western conference finals is now Oklahoma City Golden State. Oh, my God.

I'm going to say it right now. And I'm going to go against with a lot of these sports pundits are saying Oklahoma City gets one game in this series. I think the warriors dismantle them.

That's going to be a heck of a matchup. I mean, I'd like to see a good series out of it. But Golden State's just too hot and okay sees had some real flukey things happen to get them to this point.

Did you ever think you would hear yourself say that about okay see? I did say they were going to dominate this conference for five years. That five years is just about up.

And Golden State is just everywhere right now. You can't you can't stop them. You can only hope to contain them.

I feel bad for whoever wins Atlanta Cleveland. Why is that? Because they got to play whoever wins warriors okay see.

This end of be a finals may be one of the most lost side of we've seen in years. This is going to be entertaining. I hope so.

I mean, I really I hope so. I mean, you got to dig the matchups with nothing else. I still say warriors in five.

I'm just saying, you know, the matchups look great on paper. I also say Cleveland in five. I think Atlanta will get one, but it's going to be kind of fluky because that is that your buzzword for the playoffs fluky.

This year, fluky is the word. That's really all we've got. Nothing really else going on in the in the Nibba right now.

I am Chad at the clubhousepodcast.com. Charlotte Parker is on Pinterest because we are more really obligated to say that. And Jules Wanda currently listening in the green room.

Indeed. When did that tablet happen? It was just the thing you've always had.

It came with the phone. Oh, very nice. Fair enough.

All right, let us move on and do a little POI. POI stands for person of interest. It is a segment we do.

Oh, it's Toronto. Why was I keep thinking Atlanta was playing Miami? That was the last series.

Toronto Cleveland in the Easter conference finals. The raptors. Oh, okay.

Okay. That's my bad. Thank you, Russ.

Appreciate you. Russ picking up the slack for Dawn. Why am I kind of Atlanta on my head?

This is my Braves can't win their way out of a paper bag. It's got to be what it is. I got a cracker Jack prize.

It wasn't Atlanta Braves to crack it. I'll take it. I'm so fan.

Hope it didn't get thrown away because I had to get in Atlanta. My brain is offline today. Person of interest is a segment we do on this show where we take a person or an entity.

We debate their greatness or lack there. It is my turn to take POI this week. And I kind of want to change.

Oh, Jules is the anonymous. Okay. She's trying to figure out how to sign in as herself a non-anonymous 3,333.

Fair enough. Gonna take a little bit of a curve this week on person of interest because it's something that I don't know that you and I have really gotten into real deeply. Okay.

You have me entry. Had my second viewing last weekend of Civil War. Got to see it in 3D, which seeing the road one trailer in 3D makes me really happy.

But there was another trailer we saw that I'm on the fence about. But I'm worried about at the same time. And that would be a little movie called Marvel's Doctor Strange.

Yeah. The Marvel universe continues to prove me wrong, which is a good thing because I said Captain America was going to be tough to pull off with that outfit. Then I would just change the outfit every movie.

Everything seems to be working on all cylinders. I was I was I was I was I was very very happy with Guardians because I thought Guardians was going to be tough to pull off. But it seems like with the success of Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man.

Two two properties that may be were risky to bring to the big screen because they weren't necessarily characters that people were familiar with. And goodness knows Ant-Man went through an absolute crisis, you know, identity crisis. I'm glad it did because then I heard about what Edgar Wright was going to do with it.

No it would have just crashed and burned horribly. He wanted to be an ant that turned to do a name. Yeah.

I don't think he quite have you ever read a comment that did you understand the source material? But with Doctor Strange, the first trailer had a couple of weeks ago. This to me is the riskiest property yet because number one you haven't introduced him in any other way shape or form to the universe, right?

Which I think is a mistake. But it was worked before. It worked with Ant-Man.

It worked with Guardians. But then you you look at who Doctor Strange is. Even Strange is a surgeon who becomes a master of the mystical arts.

I really got a better look at this trailer when I saw it in a theater much less than 3D. The end of the trailer looks amazing. Cumberbatch walking up the stairs with the cape flapping in the wind.

But when you're dealing with multiple realities and you're dealing with someone who walks between those worlds, I think this is going to be a tough thing to pull off. And I'm worried. I'm honestly worried about this.

I am too because I think it's going to confuse non-fans, non-comic book again. It's going to get dumbed down so much that it's just going to be completely watered down version of the character. And it's going to tick off the fanboys.

Yeah, you've got to you've got to kind of serve two, you know, two audiences here. And it's really hard to do service to one without doing a disservice to the other. And that's a slippery slope.

They've put themselves on with this. I mean, Guardians, I think it was a little bit easier to get away with because people were so unfamiliar with it and they could have done anything with that group because there's been so many different versions of the Guardians. Right.

And I think they just, I think they found the perfect blend somehow that worked for everybody, worked for the studio, worked for the audience. And it plays well into the storyline. But Cumberbatch is capable.

But I'm not, it's not Cumberbatch that I necessarily worried about. Well, and, and me, either. You know, he's, he's the least of by concerns.

It's whoever's doing the script. And who's ever at the helm? Let me get you some, um, do do do do do do do do do.

I mean, you got Rachel McAdams is in this also till the Swinton's, the director is a Scott Daryxon. Now we're looking at an November fourth release here. Scott Daryxon, you would know, this is a guy.

I mean, given the, the, the subject matter, you look at some of the other stuff he's done. He did the remake of the day the earth stood still. He did the exorcism of Emily Rose.

He did sinister. He did deliver us from evil. He also wrote Devils Not, all the movies I mentioned before Urban Legends Final Cut.

So he's got a little bit of skins on the wall in this direction. He's worked in the genre close to the genre. He could save that.

He hasn't done a comic of the film, but he's worked out. He's also written this with a C Robert Cargill. Oh, we need to go back some hold on here.

C Robert Cargill, you would know, basically co-wrote all the same stuff with him. See, I don't know if this is pumping me any full of any more stuff. This C Robert Cargill is from San Antonio.

That name rings a bell to me. I don't know why. But, uh, he did, he did, he'd also did an episode of the 8th Cole with Harry Nulls.

He did something called Let's Go DFW, didn't episode that. But, I, I feel like I need to reserve judgment, but I don't know that I can. You know what I mean?

Well, I know that the majority of the naysayers seem to have an issue with till the swim's casting, and the role she's playing. I'm not worried about casting yet, because we don't know who's playing who yet. Yeah.

So, I'm just, I don't know. They're just an ill-wind blowing on this. It's just that, uh, and I pretty got him wrong.

Yeah, I do too. I don't want it to fail, but it's, for the most part, every marble trailer that I've seen, I've seen something in it that gives me goosebumps. Like, okay, that's going to be worth seeing.

Right. And there are some interesting shots in this thing, but then again, I'm not the biggest Doctor Strange fan in the world. I don't know all that much.

I never got into it. I was a younger man. I mean, I kind of got into Doctor Strange, because that thought was really neat.

And one of the episodes of Marvel's Avengers assembled, they dealt with him this year. Like, to me, I always thought that Doctor Fate was a more interesting doctor. And I'm just saying, you know, in the DC realm of mystical heroes or just the comic book realm of mystical heroes.

Doctor Fate, to me, was more intriguing than Doctor Strange was. Plus, I like the fate that the tan is Doctor Fate's daughter. But, um, he's just never really, but then again, Iron Man didn't do much from me back when I was a young and either.

It's a fair point. So, that's a fair point. So, this could completely turn me around.

I don't know. Well, we'll continue to monitor this as we get closer to release date in November. I think it'll be an interesting talk point.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to the next trailer. And I'll probably talk about it again after the next trailer.

All right. Let us move on and do some music talk. Biggest news of the week is the split of Ozzy and Sharon.

Wow. Yeah. Red today that she is talking to divorce lawyers.

And apparently there's a woman at the center of this. That's a hairdresser. That's like our age.

And he's the better part of 70. I mean, what is that date like? Like you let him order for you, but are you sure you know what he's ordering?

Oh, wow. Tell me I'm on. No, you're not.

He probably just comes in and and she has moved out by the way. Oh, I thought she moved back in. She may have a lot of her now.

He's leaving or something. I think he left first. Justin Timberlake confirms that he is working on a new album.

I love that new song. I haven't heard it. Oh, come on, dude.

You got to check that thing out. It's a good track. Also got the final release date for the final two Phil Collins reissues.

It's not going to be serious. It's live. It will be but seriously.

And that covers album he did. Oh, okay. Okay.

And that will be on my wife's birthday, June the 10th. Okay. We'll be the final two.

And I did see on Amazon. Because I remember I told you they're doing that little box thing where you can put all the CDs in it. Mm-hmm.

They're doing the same thing for the final. No, nice. I'm like, hmm.

I don't know. I don't know. And next Sunday is the Billboard Music Awards.

I don't know if you're going to find a way to watch that after the paper view. But Madonna is going to be doing a some kind of a prince tribute. And there is already a petition online to get somebody else to do it instead of her.

Really? Yeah. Why?

I don't know. I don't know. There's like this huge backlash.

I'm like, look, she's okay with it. Yeah. I mean, she's one of the icons of that era at the same time he was.

And they recorded it to do it together. And as much as I'm a fan of Springsteen, got that great buddy. No, I thought it was cool that he did it.

I don't know what he did it, but the execution there in less something to be desired. Yeah. Let's be honest.

Well, and I mean, you literally saw the band taking a crash course in the song right before they went on stage. That's what they do. Yeah.

They're sitting around watching on their iPads and stuff. And they're like, okay, that's I'm like, y'all don't know the song by now. They did like Springsteen and Prince are in the same vein.

If you have to know every song that's ever been recorded in the history of ever because in the middle of the shows, Springsteen said, could go, hey, let's do a shuffle of love and D. And they're like, well, crap, okay? And I know Prince had mad respect for Springsteen.

He was always in awe of how he had command of his of his and that's what he was after. So Prince kind of replicated that throughout all of his career. Not just most of it.

All of his career. I mean, I like Springsteen. Don't get me wrong.

That was a little weird for me. I mean, and honestly, I think a lot of people would rather it be somebody that Prince worked with closely, not just a couple of times. Because they kind of had a falling out with each other over the course of the last 20 years.

This is true, but you know, you would think it would be somebody like granted he had falling out with every former band member, but I would love for it to be somebody like jam and Lewis Morris Day when the Elisa, you know, somebody that is synonymous with Prince is right, but you also have to understand that this is the billboard music awards. You put you can still put Madonna on a stage and there's relevance in the room given the demographic they're catering to. Yeah, you put Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis or anybody like that on that stage and and these kids with the clothes in the hair are going to be like, dude, I got nothing.

So I kind of see where they're coming from. It doesn't make it right. It just makes it what it is.

Yeah, but Music new releases in places should get music music music music music music music music music. No, okay. I'm good music new releases this week.

Uh, 303. Remember them. Moving on.

Cherner album is called Night Sports. They're one of these groups for the kids with the clothes in the hair. I've heard of them.

Aren't they from Colorado? Sure. No, I mean, I can probably ask my kid.

I want to say that 303 is like the is like an area code in college 702. Yeah, yeah. I know that.

I mean, they're pretty big with the kids in the clothes in the hair, you know, about 10 years ago. I don't know about now. I mean, Of course, let's see.

There are from Boulder. Okay. They made up of Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Moot.

They have something called don't trust me. Don't trust me. A few years ago.

Wow. It sounds like a guaranteed hit. You know, Russ said they could have brought that Tom Jones come out and do his cover kiss for the Billboard school.

I'm going to problem that chance the rapper releases chance three now. I where you with me when I saw the chance the rapper bit. I saw on on Facebook last week.

I don't there was a kid in an airport. And you know how people will like hold their phone up and take pictures like the people of people besides them. I was holding it up against their body.

This kid tweets out to chance the rapper is in my in my gated the airport few minutes later. Chance the rapper posts because he had tagged him in the photo. So chance the rapper like two minutes later posts.

It's in the so this sucks to be me You've got stuff you can listen to you. So you're okay there and There wasn't really any in memoriam that you wanted to do with this week is there because there wasn't anything that really hit me hard Other than the great Darwin cook. Go ahead.

You can talk about it. Darwin cook is one of the most Influential comic book artists probably have the last 20 years. A great.

I love his Batman work. The new frontier Justice league was a mile stone in in in the world of comics And he kind of put a Put his own spin on the spirit That Left an indelible impression on on everybody in the comic book world It was very very sudden it came from out of nowhere the announcement that he had Was battling a very aggressive form of cancer and I can't remember the term that they used of what they were Removing him into it was it was some something's close to similar to hospice care But it was it was what basically situation of we're just trying to make him as comfortable as we can for as long as he's got left right and He he passed away just the other day at it was yeah, it was announced yesterday Yeah, it was in a way to young age. He was like what 52 or something like that.

It's just It's this is happening way too often I'm I'm getting we're not getting any younger. I know, but I'm getting so worn out of every week We lose somebody major You know every every couple of days. We lose somebody that we're definitely familiar with but every week is seems like we're losing a Titan of the industry that they're that they're working in and it's Just give me out of 262 for the love of God We're not even halfway through this thing.

I'm already getting playing on my stupid I don't care about the trail going on forever. Shut up. Let's a hit your mute button on your keyboard Much better.

All right. Let's go on to do a little bit of any chill talk The conference finals have been set sorry about our Dallas stars sir and it was a value an effort as they lose to the I did I've heard that Apparently some band has done a song for them and that's was a Have you heard the rules about a sign of the way blues? That's really a thing they went with with with uh I don't know if it's a new thing or an old thing if they were talking about it on B and T the other day And it actually beat me in submission.

Wow. That sounds very wacky smacky doing coming up here in about 20 minutes will be game one San Jose St. Louis they were part of the day you root for the St.

Louis blues because today it's that day sir in the eastern conference Ben Bishop gets taken out of the game on a stretcher for game one as the lightning do beat the penguins This is a lot a lot of goals going on Well, that's what happens in the pocket Yeah, they happen some some unusually high scoring game. That's what I'm saying a lot of goals this year Yeah, whenever this whenever the blues were beating the stars they were beating the full out of the stars It was painful game The last couple of them yeah, it was just harsh Like did somebody show to play somebody didn't show up to play any brother you ain't lying That's all I've got for any shell. I mean we got the conference finals under way getting ready for the stand-up finals Yeah, you really can't say a much about him until they let us take Sports and entertainment by the way next week.

We will be on the air normal time six o'clock central 70s are in four Pacific and then whatever mountain Does anybody really care about mountain time? No, okay. No, we're kidding.

We love our mountain Other than the people that live there next week WWE payback Oh, it was already extreme rules this next week isn't it we just had payback of a second back was last two weeks I lose I lose track. It's gonna happen. Oh my brain is gone today I can't as opposed to any other thinking make brain hurt I'm so I'm saying Almost typed in thinking make Brian hurt Kind of like in that episode of jipparity where the brain goes on jipparity to win money They keep calling him Brian.

He's like eh brain But let's talk some pro wrestling You got to think when you've been with a company for 30 years That getting let go is gonna be a really really tough deal We had somebody from the WWE that was given there We're walking future endeavors after 30 years this week his name is Tom Lombardi You ain't know him as the Brooklyn brawler who's been working behind the scenes He seemed to be in good spirits The interview that I read. I'm a big fan of the guy. He's what we used to put many people call it journeymen Or some people call them a job arch of the stars These are the guys that you saw on all the like the spare shows on Saturday morning that was would come out and just get beat What would you mean?

He was a he was a wrote agent. Okay. That's apparently he was the guy that you had to cut a promo in from it as part of the interview process And he would be the guy that would give you a yay or nay based on oh, okay, okay, okay, okay They was like you you had to audition your mic skills in front of him.

Okay. I see what you mean On the other side of that coin triple H has signed a three-year contract as a wrestler Really that this week May I don't know that really means anything in the grand scheme of things just that if they need him to wrestle he will I guess That kind of went without saying Get ready for tomorrow night epico and pre-mo Making their debut again Okay We haven't done this a thousand times Very white and Seth Rollins both scheduled to return in June As well as Randy Orton So Get ready for the next paper view is probably gonna win we are operating on shoe string budget with who we got Adam Rose currently us Being featured in a suspension For wellness, then he gets arrested Wednesday morning for tampering with a witness and debatory domestic violence Wow the tampering of the witness was when his Late friend wife five men. I'll sure if I think he's married She called nine one one and he took the phone out of her hand, so that's apparently that's that's gonna be classified as tampering with a witness So he's got that going form also red today that AJ style is apparently dealing with a With a bum ankle right now Wow just it seems kind of weird that He's got all this all these strikes against him not AJ style Adam Rose and they've just let all these people go Yeah, yeah, I act a fool Like dude you realize that they're cutting they're cutting ties left and right people.

They let go I run a really good interview this week with Damian sand out Where he was talking about being let go and he was like I knew what the call was when I got it apparently he's been saying for a while now You know if you don't have anything for me feel free to give this spot up for somebody that need that really needs the push Really like he was really really complimentary about the company very very Like no bitterness at all like he's like I cannot be more thankful for the time that I had because God knows it can go either way absolutely we've seen it go with the other way and it's really really good interview I wrote with him raw notes apparently they're calling AJ and Anderson and gallows the club God Can we just not call him anything yeah and so we know what we're gonna do with the rights of that to that title That always annoys me Michael Cole Michael Cole Michael Cole So apparently we were doing this gorgeous truth in gold dongo feud Which is our truth and and Tyler Breeze versus Fondango and gold dust That sounds really bad. This is a and a direct quote From Michael Cole I'm glad you're sitting down and please do not take a drink for the next 10 seconds Okay, okay across desk by me this gorgeous truth versus gold dongo is bigger than iron man versus captain America Now I will take a sip of my beverage I just I don't I Are we are we gearing him to be heal Michael Cole again? I hope not I really hope not I stumbled across a video of of heal Michael Cole just the other day.

Oh dear and I did see one of the things of him Impressed up against the glass in his coal mine and it was it was just as Stomach turning as it was whenever it happened now. I know I'm going forward a little bit there was a nice little bit on Smackdown where King was doing his heal an ounce or bit and I want to say it was Byron Saxon or so whoever was sitting in a commentary said Didn't like a gold beach you at WrestleMania Wow I was like whoa get a little surly at the announced desk. We do have a guest finally For the first time I think since pay back Which I know was the last pay review.

He is the gingian ninja. He is the king of bowling Andrew Beckham has joined us Wait a minute. I think you're in the wrong place.

Is it is it on is the mic on? Why do people turn these mics off? Let me try this here.

Let me try it now. There we go now. We got you.

Okay. Now here you are Welcome. All right, we're right in the middle of wrestling talk.

Yes, and then with Sammy Zane was wrestling The crowd was doing the oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey, and he was like these Sammy Zane chance I'm like, no, that's the old Elgian miracle More on shut up shut up shut up shut up Just like and I I see what they did with his theme song to try to make it different enough that people would still do it It's not working. Just let it go. You're not fooling anyone and I'm sure L.A.

was incredibly proud Monday night. Oh God. Why when the new day came out Kofi was wearing the the unicorn horns on like strapped around his shoulders so they look like shoulder spikes No, then when he got to the ring he pulled them off and he started swinging them around like club nunchucks I thought you were gonna say he said what a rush Clever, I'm telling you I can't I cannot get enough of the new day right now They are a shining star in a sea of mediocrity Yeah, everything they do works With very few exceptions.

Did you watch? No, I didn't get to see it. They also should because you know Xavier Woods has his own YouTube show And it's it's called up up down down and it's all about video games And they did a bit because they do it.

It's the three of them and Sasha Banks do the show together And they did a bit with Ziegler came in And there it was it was a blatant plug for the bacon stuffed crust from pizza hut But it was hilarious You have to look it up because it was it was it was a bright spot during wrong on Monday night Very much enjoyed that it's pretty sad when that's a bright spot on wrong and then at the end of the show Last segment of the show is supposed to be big cast versus Jericho Lights go out for Jericho's intro But it looks kind of weird Lights come up And it's Ambrose wearing Jericho's jacket and Jericho's late out of the stage And they battle back in for that match never happens, but they battle back in fourth and then Ambrose rips the jacket up He trashed the decrystallight jacket he did That was that Jericho claim was $15,000 Well, that's what he gave my favorite part was Ambrose when you paid 15,000 for this It's what he gets for trash and his plant And that was pretty much all I saw from raw TNA has lost its Saturday replay on pop TV and now rumors are swirling again that they're behind on paying their employees Nice job James storm just good job sign go away Just put a bullet in that they had never will I just as long as there's life in Dixie or Jeff I think you always gonna just got just got nothing to do with it anymore Yeah, Jeff's completely out. He's doing his global force thing. He has sold his share in TNA Speaking of people that are on your TNA contract allegedly Kurt Engel about to become a father for the fifth time.

He released that news this past week. So I'm also top to the Kirk Angel, right? Central Alexander will be leaving ROH this coming weekend.

I think it's probably today because they just had their big pay-per-view last week So where's he going? Don't know yet although Kevin Owens has really put a tweet out that said they don't know what they're losing Good luck to you bro. So I don't know if he's reached out to Central Central Alexander is a heck of a wrestler.

I'm a fan Both of the young bucks apparently nursing injuries right now, which is not a good time for them to be injured in the tag team division of ROH And in interesting news that you know you don't ESPN's doing a 30 for 30 on flare Yeah, which hopefully will be airing before too much longer. They've now announced on Friday that they're doing one on the XFL Really. Yes, whoa.

Oh, that could get interesting Because you know they're gonna have access to everything because of that how close they are with Vince right now Wow, I was like you have my attention That's gonna get real ugly I mean because the one they did about the What was that the USFL that was really really good? Did what I didn't watch that one check that one. I was called whatever happened to the the USFL Okay, which I'm surprised they haven't started showing real heavy because Trump's a heavy player in that thing Yeah So I don't know it I'm looking forward to it and In the craziest news in the week.

I called Chad with this yesterday and You want to talk about wheels getting shot off We have the announcements that a Current diva is pregnant Have you heard this news Andrew? No, which diva is it? Hmm This could be the most wheels off WWE news of the year so far Her name is Paige Which normally you know We can roll with that I mean women want to have kids in whatever right that wasn't really shot the wheels off And again you want whoever you want to date's fine with you But it was the randomness and out of nowhere that it was announced who she's dating in this probably the father of this child was that?

I don't know where like foreshadowing no no no, no, remember he's married That's a whole different bowl. I see what you did there. Yeah, I'm clever.

No, he's married I may just caught married so that would be really bad Um Alberto You believe this what and I'm telling you this came out of nowhere like it was announced Friday that they were dating Which was like didn't see that but you know again wherever you want to date's fine I'm out here to judge you and because they went to Disney world together on a vacation The next day being yesterday. It's all of a sudden pages now pregnant Whoa Can we back this parade up a couple of boots Disney magic right there because it does make the question of how long of they've been together Because she was engaged to a dude on total divas. Yeah, that was last season But I did remember reading that they called that off so Yeah, wheels gone brother Did not see that coming because like oh a page is pregnant Mazletov You know they're making it and all of a sudden something I didn't who?

Like usually like when people start dating you hear about that and you work and I was like nope, this is all happening right now Okay, when you tell me that I'm like does her fiance know Yeah, I guess that's WWE's way of getting in front of it. I Don't think they did that one So one quick smack down note a lame bit with Jericho and Ambrose the open smack down And you know what people if you're gonna boo Jericho for anything it should be for those leather pants. He's be sporting Have they just let him go full heel?

Is that why he's being like this? But it's not like it's not good heel Jericho Yeah Every time I see him I just want to walk away. I get I give him credit because He's working he's not mailing it in it's just not As good as the ending to RAW was the beginning to smack down was lame They were bookended.

It was really bad Me most smack down was a decent show. It's one of great show. Yeah, but I have found a better way to watch RAW I don't watch it on Monday I watch it on Tuesday, but I watch it in one hour blocks So like I'll watch Dan Levittard and then I'll watch an hour of RAW And then I'll watch around the horn and then I'll watch an hour of RAW and then I'll watch PTI and then I'll watch an hour of RAW And then I'll watch Jeopardy.

Like it's easier for me to deal with it that way. Oh, that's good idea And then I actually find myself paying better attention to Because you sit down you're like I got to watch three hours of this Like this is gonna be a long day But when I when I break it up into chunks, it's a little easier to deal with for me So say you probably only get like a match in a half every hour That'd be great That's a fair point. I wouldn't gonna say it, but Don't forget you are listening to the clubhouse podcast rely every Sunday night seven eastern four pacific next week WWE extreme rules.

I got it right that time We'll be on the air seventies from four pacific bringing you the the unofficial official pre show Before we watch the paper view and then we'll be off for one week if not two We're definitely gonna be off two weeks from today because it is Memorial Day weekend and we want to Hope that you go and spend some time with people that you will spend peak time with We might have a Maybe a gathering of a clubhouse gathering and maybe fire of the guerrilla or something you never know you can't stop us You don't hope to contain us and For those of you that don't know and I'm just gonna put this out there because I can't My my broadcast partner.

He also did the first muppets film Um Yeah, so it says director Probably code me out of code directed it Oh Casegal was not involved in muppets most wanted and that's no he was not yeah, and that's why it was said no.

You don't bother Well, it's not gonna be able to watch the show anymore either. Well, did you see the journey depth Story from this past week. I heard that he was the land.

Yeah, what what so here's what's playing this They had this display in the middle of the park that it was a it was it was it was one of those video pictures things Yeah, yeah, you see the battle frame around it. Yeah, and For most of the day it was just rotating images of people in the cast of Alice with a looking glass Well, we get to the mad hatter and People see him. It's Johnny Depp and everyone's wrong.

He would just move Link People like up And then he started talking Dep was in the studio and it was a two way was like he was like face timing with the people in front of the deal And he said hello. What's your name? And she goes Heather he goes Heather that's a very pleasant name and he started interacting with people and there was a little girl and he was like Maybe I fit you for a hat and she's like sure he's like what's someone pick her up so I can see her because the camera was right above Him in the frame so they picked they picked her up and and he started talking I mean he was talking to people and people were freaking out It's a really neat video that Disney land put up go check it out.

Okay Like I saw a screen capture from it. I couldn't tell if he was like in a booth and they were any steps out of the booth or something He was in a studio. Okay.

It was really really neat. I was and you know I'm not a big fan of the Alice films, but this was really cool and I was very impressed by this I don't know who it's like it's it is a constant state of One upsmanship between him and Downey Who does the coolest stuff there and Disney's making all the money exactly so I need to take a deep breath for me since next story You know they're remaking Jumanji yes with with the rock And now he has a co-star And his name is Jack Black See his hatred for Jack Black. I like Jack Black.

I just I just don't know that we need a Jumanji remake to word Right, I know you die King Kong. I thought I need to say but she said you actually liked him in that film No, I didn't but she said that was the only thing you could ever tolerate him in because it's King Kong It's not big it's it's I have to enjoy it in spite of him not because of Garth Edwards is not going to direct Godzilla 2 he has stepped away and it has been pushed back to 2019 Not a fan of the first one never know it was it was that thing moved slower than Godzilla did so Have you heard this story from Gaiel Garcia Bernal this week Putting on a certain costume he is your new Zoro and a film called Z. It's gonna be directed by Alfonso Quaron Sun It was also writing it Jonas now are they still I know when they first talked about this a couple of years back They were going to set it in a post apocalyptic California in the slight future I'll crap that is happened to do this.

So they're gonna mad Max Zoro It's Hollywood do find some of it works make 20 just like a Jennifer Lawrence and talks for the allotions 11 female reboot with Sandra Bullock Where Sandra Bullock's character will be the ex-concister of Danny Ocean So it's at a reboot or is it a spiritual sequel to what the guys did a couple of years ago? I've heard it referred to both ways So because she was in the boat. No, that was Julia Roberts.

Okay, okay, okay, because I never saw any of them I'm a bigger fan of I'm a bigger fan of the original the original ocean's 11 was amazing and I thought to remake was okay, but it's not the rat packed dude Why you messin with the rat pack did I need that many sequels? They all made money. Yeah, so what am I?

Well, so did so not bad so did twilight We didn't need all this equals the fair enough. It's a great new laundry movie all three of them Movie new releases in places you get movie new releases this week The nice guys is this week. I really want to see this me too.

I do too The angry birds movie is this week. I really don't want to really don't care Neighbors to sorority rising this trailer looks funny. It just doesn't even care It's got the Chloe Grace Maretz in it never saw the first one really the first one's enjoyable I thought the first one was gonna be one of those movies that they just go out of their way to make you uncomfortable Yeah, but it's not like that.

It's really funny. Okay. I really especially when you get to the end of the first one and Rogan's improv skills was Zach Efron or genius Efron is really really good in this which is a shot and so is Franco the younger Dave Franco is in this as well.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Oh, okay When they do their there's their they have a fraternity party that's all Robert De Nero themed And Efron is taxi driver De Nero and Franco is meet the parents De Nero like you see what you did you upset Mr.

Jinkies like it's it's hilarious Okay, you've got to be kind of it's real. Yeah, what's the first one okay? It's one of those films that I'm glad I didn't pay full price in the theater, but if it's on I'll watch it with your time It's nothing else.

Okay. It's also got the great Rose Burn who's boyfriend is Cook and Creek High School alumnus and and Gretma Emmy Award winner Bobby Kennedy Valley really That would have put those two together round 47 days All right also this week Maggie's plan this was a film They did did one of the festivals that we couldn't get to because it was airing during the film Have you heard anything about this? Interesting deal here may pull it up for you There it is.

Sorry Julian Moore and a Travis I said that right Travis Fimo also eat off all the Ethan Hawke Maggie's plan to have a baby on her road is De Rail which he falls in love with John a married man destroying his volatile marriage to the brilliant Georgeette also in this is current it girl Greta Gerwig Sean is in this bill hater is in this my route off is in this Uh, that's only the names I'm seeing as I'm scrolling through Also The Anthony Weener documentary that I caught the Dallas International film festival It's a wonderful documentary. It's a great documentary But just be prepared to spend an hour of an hour and a half of your life shaking your head Come because this train record man Because it chronicles his bid to try to run for mayor of New York after everything comes out in 2010 And the human dumpster fire that is your your head heard to the end of it but not because it's a bad documentary It's a great documentary, but you want to just throw something by the end of this documentary I if you get a chance to see it please check it out. It's very very well done I mean you know it's and this might be a minor spoiler But there's actually a part in this film where things the the wheels of just are just falling off and the documentary and you hear them in the background going Why are you letting me film He's just shaking his head Do you have any sense of self-pregoration whatsoever?

It was one of my favorites at the Dallas International Film Festival So check it out as well DVD and blue right new releases in place as you get DVDs and blue rays A film that dawned screen that he didn't particularly dig the witch Although friend of the show James Briggs loved this film I I looked into it and I was like I Lighted it but you know the thing about Briggs. He has very strange taste in films like there was a blue ray that came out last week Called a Shark and saw Mass a sorority prison massacre And he was like oh, I'm ordering this right now So Dirty grandpa With the aforementioned Zac Efron in the De Niro this week the it man trilogy So if you want to see it man three with super star Mike Tyson in it No, kindergarten cup two as finally made its way to home video starring Dolph Lundron and Bill Bellamy I really wish I was making this out. I am so not making this up could this be any more dissimilar from the original The program not the movie about college football but the movie about Lance Armstrong It's a DVD and blue ready release a week.

I'm intrigued by that southbound which is kind of one of these Multiple stories overlapping each other on a southbound highway and they all have to do with the devil So you got that going for you No letting go we interviewed one of its stars at the Dallas International Film Festival this year. Oh Yeah, that hits DVD but that's been on VOD for a while Cop rock the complete series. I know you've been waiting for it sir.

Why and it's it's available this Tuesday Oh, good God. I thought because we don't know and we don't put television shows on this but I saw this So I'm like why not this has this has to go in the field baking of dumpster fires I'm gonna pony express that over to you. Yeah, and the criteria in collection has the naked island this week So there's that any tech corner stuff you want to talk about well, you know I feel like I would be remiss in this probably should have been brought up a couple of stories back when we were doing music talk a big shout out to Lori Irby Jackson for Helping me out with the oh I was like I had a very very this is a young lady that you've known since high school.

Yes, we went to high school together enough Like I was the prince junkie. She was the Michael Jackson junkie and I was like what we said when our paths crossed again I was like leave it to you to marry a guy whose last name is Jackson just so you're gonna be named Jackson now and I'll be home now her brother-in-law is Michael Jackson just not that Michael Jackson But I told me about it, but she got me into a a a concert that was Pretty darn impressive three very impressive x we had Elderbarge Flowetry who got back together for the first time in years. I'm a fan and mint condition And Actually, those acts have actually been on on some Uh-huh, which I think I finally got to shout them are one good.

I think she's finally got it Well, I need to see the main condition when down this special. Oh, that was really good Actually got to go backstage and have a conversation with mint condition great guys huge I mean, of course they were Mentored by prince very early on Stokely the lead singer actually did back up vocals on call my name. Oh really, so They were nothing that that's pretty much all that we talked about was their relationship their working relationship with prince And they're guitarist actually has the midnight blue cloud guitar Prince gave to him himself.

So it's the one it is the one it's the one it is the one wasn't in your presence at any point No, it wasn't they did he did he did take it out and play it anybody didn't play it during their tribute song that we were there for They actually did she's always in my hair Good song absolutely crushed it So thank you again to lawyer B. Jackson and then she's online as well with the mother of color dot com is her is her blocks I know I'm again. I'm sorry.

I could not be there. I had some very pressing things that I had already planned that's this is true this is true But thanks again, Lori for the for the opportunity I had been pretty cool a lot of really good shows coming up especially at that Verizon theater. Yeah Yeah, saw the answer several of them things.

Yeah, that one might be looking more looking into and that one might be look what we're doing Anything else? That's it. All right.

Let us get to the list. You've got the list and I don't know what it is Well, I've recently relocated from our fair burger whiskey to Arlandin that's an Arlandin And our sleep schedules completely screwed up again, so we're we we've revered it back to being night owls So that kind of puts you in a In a position of having to find food when the mood strikes you and you're in a college town Yeah, so we're out we're always constantly having to go outside of the box, but I know that I'm not the only one that deals with this problem So we've tried to put together a list of places that you can go on odd hours of the night and still find something decent to grab down on Now how much of this is going to be locally based not a lot the majority of its national chains and such And they're there in no particular order except from maybe number one and that one is a local chain Well number one and number was she kind of put the list together for me because I was Recyting them to when she was typing in them in for me, so a lot of them were your standard staples like number 10's McDonald's Because you know not as much of a Fan as I was neither am I neither am I but the other reason that it really makes the list is because the drive through is up in 24 hours And they most cases and they have their and they have their breakfast menu items on their breakfast menu Available all the time, so you can get an egming muffin at two o'clock in the morning if the mood strikes you So for if for no other reason because of that Number nine is Denny's and and number nine and number eight could probably be interchangeable Denny's and high hop because remember kids you never plan to go to Denny's or I hop. You just wind up there Denny's Number seven Wendy's Because you know what as the years are going by my my love for Denny's is fading You're becoming more of an eye hop guy than a Denny's Really because you've been such a big fan of I still I still a fan but just my my frequency of eating there is getting more and more Once a quarter you mean you mean less Can we get some some breaking moving news?

Yeah, sure development has started on movie adaptations of Sennipede and missile command Is so any responsible for this because of pixels. I'm I'm looking and I'm not seeing not not off hand that I can see Yeah, yes, no my Wendy's is getting less frequent Number six. I've got down as water burger.

It should probably be higher on the list because that's pretty much everybody's go to I am on a new campaign a new crusade if you will what's that? I want to law That says there must be a water burger in every airport in Texas And the reason I say this is because when you connect through an airport It's not as easy to leave and go get some of the eaten come back as it used to and I really feel that water burger represents Texas So there should be a water burger in every airport in Texas. That's a good point Number five this is definitely local If for no other reason because of the the the the big Albert special The beef house the beef house.

I was just actually talking to the front of the show Fill more I was just telling him about this the other night. I'm like next time you're on my side of town We're gonna go to the beef house so you can get the Albert special. You've been there right enter never even heard of it.

Okay, the you want to I'll let you explain the absolute definition of a greasy spoon Okay, 24 hours open 24 hours the cure is tonight over the American Airlines center But I mean it's it's been open since at least the 70s and they've never remodeled Like it's it's still like you look like you walked into 1975. Yeah, it's open 24-7 And they have this thing called the Albert special which is named after a guy who was a trucker that would come through And he would just say just make me something that's got everything breakfast involved So it's in this bowl and it's everything. It's eggs bacon hash browns cheese everything in one One plate and if you get the full Albert special it can feed you for a whole week.

It it has It comes to tortillas. It's amazing. They make their own salsa there.

It's fantastic. It is absolutely fantastic I forgot how many times we would leave the city. We'd leave sports city and we'd go there I was more than I would never went there after sports city, but I would go there after scooters because they're out of the street.

Yeah Number four jack in the box Again for the same reason because they have a 24 hour drive through and they serve their full menu all day long Early for ice Jack in the box tacos and it's just it will soak up any alcohol still left in your stomach Still out and it will at least give you something there in case the worst case scenario plays a stuff I know that you've got your terrified of jack. I will not ruin it for you so I will not No, no, no, no by jack in the box take it home and just dump it in the toilet and eliminate the middle man Number three and number two actually grocery stores Okay, number three bear with me here Walmart Because sometimes you just can't find you know a sub sandwich at three o'clock in the morning But they've really up their game at Walmart as far as having ready-made sandwiches fruit platters Stuff like that. We're like if you have a particular craving that you just can't find at a drive through or at a sit-down restaurant Jump in grab a plate and jump right back out a fruit platter Sometimes you're in the morning sometimes you're craving pineapple.

You know, it just that does happen Number two though winco Has stepped it up even further. Oh really. Oh good lord They have like a general chose chicken and They have the okay, okay, okay, you know the bowls that they have a KFC that have like the layer of mashed potatoes and then the corn They do that and it tastes just like the KFC bowls and it's a grocery store Yes, yeah, no, it's a pretty heavy grocery store over there Tortilla soup.

I mean, it's it's like gourmet food that's just right there and it's next to nothing like you can get like the little Mashed potato bowl the chicken mashed potato bowl for like 250 And it really is great good. I mean, and it's a it's a dead arm. Is that right up here?

Basically right up the center building LBJ here locally And they're building one right out there where we're staying in an early console. I'm happy about that there Number one though. They're also building one at George Bush and Josie where that target used to be really it'll it'll make a killing number one for me though Was something that I kind of stumbled into a friend of mine that I went to school with took me there the first time several years back cafe Brazil Not a huge fan well you've only been there what like a handful of times and there's a reason for that but They the breakfast that they I mean A friend of mine took me there fairly recently When her kid played at a local nightclub and we were craving breakfast food and We looked it up and there was one that's open in in that part of Dallas 24 hours a day not all of them are but this one is and I want to say there's one of four Worth that's open 24 hours as well.

They had banana bread french toast Surved with sliced fresh fruit and thick cut bacon That blows anything that dinnies are I'll have whatever put in front of you out of a water Gourmet coffees and teas is they they tend to go as the as a name of the place would suggest a little bit more South of the border style Fair like they they they serve a Meagus and shorty so a lot of there are a lot of their plates and stuff but you don't have to go that route if you don't want to Sanwiches are always good But their breakfast is absolutely killer so that's that would be my go to choice if there's a cafe Brazil around me at three o'clock in the morning and I'm wanting pancakes and sausage That's where I'm going to go. Oh my god slush it's you go Anybody else got anything that that that's kind of like a go-to place for you Maybe like a steak and shake I thought about that because I know that they they do a breakfast menu that's late, but I'd I've only been a steak and shake Once or twice in my life And it's on because he took me there because we're up to them a fan of steak and shake, but I've really got to be in the mood for steak and shake Well, you got to be in the mood for that drive, too, says it's over there by the lake It depends on where I am. Well, I mean, I mean, I'm at work.

There's one out of the road. Oh, there is? Yeah, oh, I didn't know the car thrown ill be gentle.

Oh, I had no idea But yeah, no, I think I think you've covered mine Waterburger for sure. Yes, yeah, that made that spread out how I win 22 years without whatever I really don't yeah, I know a lot of people would say Taco Bell, but I can't go to Taco Bell anyone new I'm talking about Mexican rice.
