Episode 21

Music
It is eight o'clock on the east coast. It is five o'clock on the west coast. It is the
fifth of December in the year of our Lord, 2024. Season 15, episode 21, 690 times. You have been
welcome to the clubhouse podcast, your one stop shop for all things sports entertainment
pop culture, pro wrestling. It is what we do. Welcome. My name is Rob, I am the executive producer
of the clubhouse podcast and I have officially made my first mug of hot chocolate for the season.
I'm very excited about this. Taste like history. But I am not alone. Let's bring in
Don right now Alex out on assignments tonight. I got all this fun over microphone. He is the
official fact checker of sooner or later productions. And it looks really weird the way his
thing is friend with his shirt. You may know him is Igboonu, but his mom and even don't
part I'm going to call him Don for him. He is for cookie. That's good enough for me. That's good enough for me.
How are you sir? I'm good. This was a Thanksgiving gift from the fantastic day for you. Very nice.
I'm a big fan of the cookie monster. Yeah, so am I. So, you are because you gave you the shirt.
I know, but I think it should be like a national anthem. That song, you know. No. Well, I'm not
the national anthem, but like one day. No. I love that song. It's a great song. It's not a national
anthem, Don. For cookies it is. Unless you live in the total house. He blur bill. No. Because they
have their own thing. Yeah, okay. Well, they're so many cookies. All right, let's dive right in. Talk a
little bit of sports here, Don. Let's talk. Major league baseball, which we very rarely talk
about this time of year. Rarely. Yes, it's annoying with an idea. Okay, and I'm going to run a
passion. Okay, I'm listening. Have you heard of the golden at back, Don? No. So, this idea has come for
okay, that one time again, each team can just put somebody in the batter's box.
Out of, out of turn, doesn't have to be. It could be a designated hitter, but they don't have to
lose a guy for one at that. Each team. One game. Per game. Yes. Okay, what are your thoughts here?
I'm now. Now, because my thing is, you already have designated hitters and stuff to hit for
other people. Now, now, if you're the, if you're, you know, there's nine people. There's the
out, the three out billers. There's the short stop, the first base. And I think the picture should
have to hit too. I have long said that I do not like the designated hitter. Never had. If there's
one position that should know what to look for when a ball's being thrown, it's the guy throws
the ball. Exactly. So, I also say, this is a terrible idea. Yeah. And I, but I will give you one
caveat to it. Okay. If you want to do this in the all-star game, I'm okay with that. Because the
all-star game is known for tricking it up. And they've made some changes to the game over the
last few years. It has sped up the game. And I think it's made the game better. This is a bridge too far.
I think so too. Because what happens if you decide, let's say, you're in the eight spot,
and you don't want that guy hit, and so you have show, hey, hit, but show, hey, you're nine hitter.
Do you have to then have to have a pinch runner so he can come hit again?
This is brought up by the ESPN. I'm like, that's an excellent point. Yeah, I'm not. Here's the
thing I also feel also. Like one of my gripes of English soccer, as they call football out there,
is if somebody gets fouled, somebody's coming in. They're like, them in the goalie. They got the
break. The defender tries and trips them in the in the penalty area, right? They get a penalty
kick. One on one with the goalie, right? No one around all that. The thing is is that
anybody could do the penalty kick. I feel the person if they got fouled. If I'm running with the ball
and I have the ball, I'm about to kick in the guy, trips me in the penalty area.
If I got fouled, I should have to do the penalty kick. Not your best pick, not anybody could take
the penalty kick. You know, I'm saying under the English rules, which I'm against. If it's a handball,
like if it's a foul on a defender, then you should have anybody pick. But if someone who gets fouled,
they should have to do the penalty kick. You know, I'm saying, just like in hockey, if you got
stick and fouled on, and they give you the, you know, the one on the goalie or whatever,
the penalty shot. Right. No, I'm with you. That's why I'm against this thing with the
not new freebie hitter once again. I like the idea of the ball star game. Once, but that's it.
Firstly, you're in the playoffs. Firstly, in the world series. I told you.
No, just I'm against this. It's less the answer. Okay. That's it. Or the Savannah been
and as they can do it. I don't care. Yeah. Now, here's the thing. I like the idea that they're trying
to think of new things to do. That's good. Always. But yeah, not me. Let's get on the college
football dawn. It's almost time. Never. On this show, which we're going to be on Wednesday next week.
Okay. Next week on this show, we're doing bowl picks done. Okay. So what we're going to do is
you're going to be our van away. Am I? You're going to, you're going to log on to ESPN,
set up your thing, and you're going to do your picks on the screen while we do ours. Okay.
For free, it's gaming and I'm going to put in and then we'll say what it is. Correct. And okay.
So, yeah. Yeah. Well, worry about it next week. Yeah.
Did you hear the breaking news about three hours ago? Actually, it's about an hour ago.
Now, I just came straight from work and that was demon. Have nothing on. Earlier this week,
Matt Brown released from his coaching duties at the University of North Carolina. Okay.
About an hour and a half ago, it was announced that Bill Belichick has met with the
officials at the University of North Carolina. Really? That is what we like to call
kind of breaking news, breaking news. It's a nutty met with. So you don't think he's going to come to Dallas.
Oh, Lord, no. Okay. He wants too much control and Jerry ain't all to give it to him. Yeah.
Because this is your, I hear your butt. But there's no way he's going to go. No, I don't want to go
down to you. Now, they are saying they're expecting to release Mike McCarthy at the end of the year.
But I don't think that problems in the coaching staff. So I'm saying no, I have respect from
McCarthy. It's not him. You're going to have to go a little bit higher in the stadium, seeing
that. Oh, yeah. Of course. But Bill Belichick meeting with North Carolina about their coaching
vacancy. I honestly don't see this happening because he's having way too much fun on inside the NFL.
Plus, I don't know the Belichick wants to go back to the grind, especially in college.
But I've been wrong before. So some people just miss it. Some people have made missed that
bug. You know, how put this way. If he was probably physically able to brick fire upon
one, I still get in the ring. You know, I'm still trying regardless on. You know, that's what
said. The man supposedly retired like 15 years ago. Yeah. I mean, some people still just have that
bug and would maybe, especially coaching. There is no, you know, it's not a physical limitations like
playing. You know, so I mean, I could see, you know, who knows? But let's talk about the playoffs
because we're going to find out about playoffs on Sunday because Sunday is selection Sunday because
the college, uh, conference championships are this weekend. So let's take a look down together.
Okay. As what if the playoffs started today? Okay. What this would look like? Okay.
Here's your picture. Boom. Right now, this is not the only real. There's only a couple of
interesting changes here. Your top seats, Oregon, Texas, SMU, Boise State.
Three and four have the biggest chance to change this weekend because they have, SMU has to win
the conference championship. Boise State has to win the conference championship, although they probably
have the most exciting play and college football in the watch right now. But if this stands,
Ohio State, who lost to Michigan, which is huge. That was an upset. Yeah.
Although it wasn't, it wasn't a blow. It was the only three points. That's how they were like,
oh, they got, they're clocked clean. I'm like, they lost by a field goal. The winner of that
team would get Oregon. And again, they did the thing where they didn't, they put the higher seats
on the top and I don't like that. Should be on the bottom because they should be the home team
technically. Now, in the first round, those games would be home in a way.
There's not a bull set up for those games. They would be played in the in the lower seats homefield.
Penn State and Arizona State after a big upset, the winner of that would get Boise State.
Georgia would play Indiana, who's holding on by a string right now. They would get Texas
should Texas win the SEC championship on Saturday. No or Dame and Alabama because of Alabama's loss,
they would get the winner of SNU's game on Saturday. So I've been watching the schedule.
There's a lot going on. Of course, we're going to keep you updated. We're going to do our official
bull picks next week. We might have a special guest. You don't know. It might be, too.
I know you know who it might be. You were there. I'm going to keep that as a tease.
I would appreciate that you did that. Yes.
Getting into NFL talking. Yes. Give this. Yeah. Right now.
Uh-huh. Just tell me, who do you think's going to win it all?
Oregon. Oregon. Okay. Oregon's the best of the field right now, but it could be anybody in the top five.
Really. Yeah. I mean, you could have an upset like Boise State did to Oklahoma. You just never
enough. Yep. And still, again, you could have any, like you say, any team to beat any other
team on any given day. You could have a number 11 beat a number, um, a number five. I mean, six,
you know, got the beauty of it. Yeah. That's what I like about it now. I'm happy. All right.
NFL last week on Thanksgiving. We had a triple header. This brought me joy.
Detroit giving nine and a half, but it was too much because they only beat Detroit. Are they
only beat Chicago by a field goal on horrible clock management at the end of the game, which ends up
getting Chicago, uh, coach. Ever Fluse, which I'm very sad because he's the only coach I could hear
homer Simpson say. Ever Fluse gets fired from the bears. Cowboys beat the Giants. They were
giving four Dallas does win by seven in a sloppy game. This was an incredibly sloppy game.
Uh, Miami goes to Green Bay. Green Bay was giving him three and a half. We said it wouldn't be
enough. And we were right because they lose by 13 Kansas City by a safety over Vegas as they
were giving them 13 and a half. Don't I come and throw a camera over there? Yeah, I can hear you.
Yep. Okay. And is my video okay for you? Yeah. Okay. Everything is a little,
let's get a little squirrelly on my end as well. Okay. No. On Sunday,
Chargers giving one, but they win by four over Atlanta. Pittsburgh, Don, your Steelers.
Where's, where's, where's, what is the button I want to play right now? It was a blizzard.
The streak for Tomlin continues. He cannot have a losing season. Yeah. I love this.
This brings you what? You'll go to the prom, but he won't leave with the date.
You've got a good team this year, sir. I know. I know. I've missed soda wins by a point
over Arizona, but it was giving them three and a half. Indie wins by two, but they were giving
two and a half. Seattle wins by five when the jets were giving them one. Commanders
wamping on Tennessee. They were giving six and it definitely wasn't enough. She used to
giving three and a half wins by three over Jacksonville and another sloppy game. That's three
games that came down to a half a point. LA giving two and a half, but they beat New Orleans by
seven in a strange affair. Tampa Bay almost loses the Carolina as they were giving six and a
half and the only win by a point. Philly was getting three beats Baltimore by five in their own house.
Sunday night football ball buffalo all over San Francisco, especially when you have a
receiver that rocks barefoot into a snowing stadium. And on Monday night football of Denver
getting six and a half, but they win by nine. We are about to kick off week 14. Can you
believe it done? Yep. Yeah. 14. Only what four weeks left in. Yep. We're in the final full
month of the season with a full slate of games. Right now we are about to kick off. He needs
to explain to me what happened on that time management on a Thanksgiving game. I mean, they had
a time out and let the thing go 20 seconds. I mean, they were down to like the 20-year-old
I knew you could have got to feel gold easy, but they kept losing in a penalty in the, in the,
I, that's football. Detroit playing on their second Thursday night in a row as they are
hosting Green Bay Detroit is giving three and a half what to think it done. Detroit, I think they're
there. I run. I would also think Detroit minus the three and a half that got some key injuries,
but they, if they went tonight, they clinch a playoff bird. Yeah. And Dan Campbell wants that title.
He wants it. And we both, all three of us have them predicted to go to the Super Bowl this year.
Coming up on Sunday in the noon set, Denver is going to go for the nap game right off the bat.
Okay. Jacksonville goes to Tennessee. Tennessee is giving them three and a half.
I got you with my Jacksonville. There's something there that's said I just, I know.
I know. I know. I know. I will disagree with you. Trevor Lawrence has
goes into person in the concussion protocol last Sunday. There's no way.
Tennessee is going to bump on them. Even as bad as they are. I know. But they always get
clobbered. I always still have to say there's that chance. It's the team that I thought, you know,
any given Sunday gone. Any given Sunday in sense of Tennessee. It's not like they're going
against Detroit. The jet for go to Joe Robby Stadium. Miami is giving six.
Miami. Absolutely Miami. The jets are terrible. Yeah. And they're saying they're going to stick
with Aaron Rogers. I'll believe it. Want to see it. But yeah, Miami at home. Come on. After that
horrible loss last week Atlanta goes to Minnesota. Minnesota's giving them five and a half done.
Um Minnesota Minnesota's 10 and two right now. There are three losses between them and Detroit.
They are chasing each other right now. Atlanta's going to get destroyed this day, especially in
Minnesota's house. Giants are hosting the Saints New Orleans is giving four and a half.
I could New Orleans on this one.
Would you like a crazy thought here, Don? What was that crazy thought? What's that? These teams are a
combined six and 18. Okay. New Orleans, Taseum Hill is now out for the rest of the
season. I won't say he's a key to their offense, but he's a great guy that can do a lot of things
for them. I still think they'd be the Giants because the Giants seem to be playing to finish at this
point. New Orleans will win this, but it'll be by a touchdown, so they will cover, but it's not going
to be. It's not going to be the next game, Don. As the Carolina Panthers go to the link to play the
Philadelphia Eagles. Billy's giving them 13. Billy. Give me Carolina plus 13.
They are going to ruin somebody's day. Billy ain't going to win this by two touchdown,
even in their own house. Carolina made something look pretty good on Sunday. I think they can
carry it for one more week. Your Pittsburgh Steelers and aggravated stadium will be hosting the
Browns. You are giving them six and a half done. This is a rivalry game. I know. I have to go with
my Steelers on this one. Hold on one second. Okay. Let me make sure we're okay there.
Because like we even said, we admit that they're actually doing good this year.
Yeah. I need George Piggas to have 140 touchdowns. I've got to take Pittsburgh.
Okay. Vegas goes to Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay giving them six and a half.
You know what? I just can see that travel. You know, the Alto is taught travel.
I'm going to say, do you know what? They're going to be happy going to the to that side of the
country. I'm going to I'm going to take Vegas. Don, they play in Vegas. I mean, oh, I thought you said no no no no
they're at Tampa Bay, but the Raiders play in Vegas. Why would they be happy to leave Vegas to go to
in this summer? Because there's a beach there. I don't understand. I really don't. I can
say do you want to get me to go to Florida? Tampa Bay is going to cover this by a half a point.
They're they look rough right now. The Raiders are the Raiders. Because as we know,
the autumn wind is all right. Seattle goes to Arizona. Arizona is giving to an half.
Arizona. Then you're not giving me an up time to drink my drink here. I'm sorry.
This is an NFC West game. Seattle's even though they may be playing to finish. I think
they're still there's got a little bit left at them. Arizona's very unstable. Give me Seattle
plus two and a half. They could win this by field goal. Buffalo goes to so far to play the Rams
and giving LA three and a half. I'm taking Buffalo on this one. I think you've three to have.
Yeah. And this is the lightset. Yeah. I mean, Buffalo had to play in that rough game Monday night.
I'm so glad I did not start Brockburg because I knew better than take the San Francisco
quarterback in Buffalo when there's nine feet of snow. Yeah. But yeah, Buffalo is going to go crazy
because they're trying to lock down. They've locked down the division. Nobody can catch them in the
AFC East. But do you think that they'll start? No. No. They're still trying to get the home
field and everything. Yeah. Because they're trying their chasing Casey. Yeah. And if they tie,
they get the tie breaker because they beat them. Right. But Casey's got to suffer another loss before
that happens. I know. I'm going to say that. You know. And we're going to be in week 14
down. We've still got teams on the buy. Baltimore Denver, Houston, Baltimore Denver, Houston,
Indian, New England, Washington, all on the buy this week. Okay. Chicago goes to Santa Clara to play
the 49ers. Santa Francisco is giving them four. I take San Francisco on this at all day long.
Yeah. Honestly at home all day long. Yeah. Sunday night football done. Listen. Chargers go to
Arrowhead Stadium to play the aforementioned chiefs. Casey is giving four.
Chargers just been doing that stuff. You know, I. I can take the chargers. I believe in Jim Harba.
He's doing something there. But like you and Jacksonville, I got to stick to my guns.
Chargers don't charge her. And Kansas City is trying to keep Buffalo at arms like
they will win this by double digits. It will be low, low, low, low double digits. But they
will win this by double digits because as Bill Belicex says, the season starts after Thanksgiving.
It's on Monday, nine foot ball. And really dog there's only one way to watch this game.
What's that? You're either going to watch it on ESP and two? Are you going to watch it on Disney
Plus? Because this is the game where they're going to do the Simpsons thing.
Like they did with Toy Story last year. Which is what on that? You'll be able to watch it
animated. Oh, really? With Bart on one side and Homer on the other.
As Cincinnati comes to this town to take on the Cowboys and since he is giving them five and a half.
Are you going to take Cincinnati? Here's my thing with this game.
First of all, Homer better be coaching the Cowboys. Because I need to see Colonel Homer.
Your music makes me feel away. I have been felt since funky town. I want Colonel Homer.
And you want to hear the crazy thing and we talked about Alex and I talked about this a little bit last week.
The NFL wanted to flex this game. But they couldn't. Because Fox said,
we've already done all the animation. You can't flex this game. Okay.
So how does that work? I mean, I didn't see the one last year. So basically it's they just do
it's it's in real time. Okay. And all the all the players are animated characters. Okay.
And Alex said with the Toy Story thing, it was really well done. Okay. So this is on this coming Monday
This coming Monday night Monday or football. It's going to be on Fox on or no. It's going to be on ESPN2
and Disney class. Okay. Fox is the studio. Remember? Okay.
Well, that's maybe Fox had the show that may be needed. Oh, Disney owns them.
And they're they're not going to give up Monday night football. Yeah.
And then you'll have a basketball game done with the Disney characters on Christmas Day.
So what about the, you know, it's since it's the local team though, isn't it supposed to
still be on the network regardless because of NFL rules? It'll be on channel 11, which is the official
station of the Cowboys, which is the CBS affiliate. It will not be on Fox. Okay. That's what I'm saying.
And so, but if you want to watch it animated, you have to do it on the SPN. SPN2. Okay.
Or Disney plus done animated that the regular game will ski SPN. Okay. And probably channel 11 local.
Yeah, because yeah, because they have to show it because it's the local team. That's FCC law. Yeah.
Okay. So that's where we're at.
It's time we can talk NBA now because
it's NBA. We're going to have NBA and NHL to talk about. So let's talk about the
standing currently in the NBA in the Eastern Conference at Atlantic division because the Atlantic
is in the East.
Filly. God, love you, 70, six years. We're 20 games in and they're five and 15.
That's almost a quarter of the season done. Now, since Alex isn't here.
I say that it's garbage or trash or just not say it.
Just that's his bit. Well, since he's absent in honor of him. That let the man have his bit.
Okay. I just try and say, let the man is a bit. I have spoken. So it's written. So it shall be.
Yes, it is. Filly is one game behind Toronto. Toronto now two and a half back on Brooklyn, Brooklyn.
The nets are four back on the the nicks and Darrell's beloved nicks are four and a half
back on Boston in the central division. The Detroit pistons, former champs of basketball are terrible.
They're nine and 15, but they're only a half game back on the Pacers. The Pacers now,
a half game back on the bulls. The bulls are two and a half back on Milwaukee and currently the
bucks are seven and a half back on Cleveland and in the southeast division,
which because south and east, the Washington was ours. They've won two games so far this year.
They're on a 15 game losing streak. So they're two and what? 17.
So they're two and 15. To and 17. Okay. They are three games back of Charlotte. The Hornets now
three and a half back on Miami. Miami's a half game back on Atlanta, but Atlanta now three and a half
back on Orlando, who has come out to get strong in the western conference, Northwest division.
The Utah Jazz, they're terrible. They're 12 games back in the division. They're three and a half
back on Portland. Trailblazers three and a half back on Minnesota. Because they're in the Northwest.
Minnesota now a game back on Denver, Denver. Now, four back on Oklahoma City.
Who's on the comeback trail. The New Orleans. Fly back in! They've got four wins.
They're 11 back in the division. They are seven and a half back of San Antonio Spurs.
They're now two and a half back on Memphis. Memphis and Dallas are tied. They're both
a game behind Houston Houston Houston. And in the Pacific division, because the Western
conference, the Sacramento Kings are two games below 500 and three back in the division. They're
two back on the Lakers, who got beat last night by the heat, done by 47 points.
I did it Lord. That's a spanking.
But we have a three way tie for first place in the Pacific division. Clippers, golden state and
Phoenix are all tied for that right now. The clippers should be like two back.
Thanks so much. Got their math wrong there. All right. Now, let's also talk about the NHL
because hockey. Okay. And also one of Don's favorite segments we do because we'll start in the
Eastern Conference and Lantic Division. The Montreal Canadian's.
They have 13 points. They are six back in the division. They're a point back on Oderwa. Senators
are one back on Detroit Detroit. Okay. No, they have 21 points. Montreal's 21. They're one behind
Ottawa. Ottawa was two back on Detroit Detroit and Buffalo were tied. We do not like the
sovereigns. But they are both two points back on my beloved lighting. The lighting are five back
on Boston. Boston's a point back on defending champion Florida Panthers. Thank you very much.
And the Panthers are two back on Toronto. But now where are we going? What the visitor we go to,
Don? We're going to respond to. Thank you, sir. The New York Islanders. They have 25 points. They're
11 points out of first place. They're tied with Columbus. Both of those guys are a point behind
your beloved Pittsburgh penguins. Penguins are a point back on Philly. Philly and the Rangers are
tied. They're both six back on Carolina Hurricanes are a point back on New Jersey and New Jersey is
tied with Washington for the top of that division in the Western Conference Pacific because Western.
The Anna Hein-Dux who got the old school logo back. They're very excited. They have 23 points. They
are 14 points back in their division right now. They're a point back of San Jose. The sharks are a point
back on Seattle. Two back on Edmonton. Edmonton is three back on Calgary. Calgary is way back
of Vancouver. They're a nine points back. Vancouver's a point behind the kings and the kings are now
is done. Yeah, let's hear a point back on Vegas. So that's a little rat. Okay, I'm actually I screwed that
whole division up. Let's try this again. And it's like two back on San Jose San Jose's yellow tied.
They're both three back on Edmonton. Edmonton, Edmonton, two back on Calgary, Calgary, and Vancouver
tied. They're three back on Los Angeles. LA is now four back on Vegas. Okay, the way they do
the standings on Yahoo for hockey screws me up. And in the central division of a conference that
has no Eastern or Western, the Chicago Blackhawks are still terrible. Don, they're 20 points out of
the first place. Oh, dear Lord. Yeah, that's way out. They're at 16 and two right now.
Their two back on Nashville. Nashville is four points back on Utah hockey club. Welcome to the
NHL. Hockey club is two points back on the blues, blues, two back on Colorado, Colorado. Now four
back on the stars. The stars are four back on the jets and the jets are two back on the minutes
so to wild. Don, are you ready for the return? Oh, North America's favorite game show. Yes, I am.
People have been waiting. It's been too long of a break. Are you sure? Yes.
It's time. What is the goal differential?
For the Pittsburgh Penguins. How about that, sir? Last year San Jose went almost
wider to wire. We're a month and a half into the season and they ate them.
Negative 30. Negative 30 is what Darwin says. That's two early in the season. The Pittsburgh
Penguins have played 27 games. We're a quarter away from season done. Oh, never mind. Can
I change it to fifth. Nope. No, no, no. Okay. There are 11, 12, and 4. If 26 points,
there's 7, 6 and 2 at home, 4, 6 and 2 on the road. Now the good news is done.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are a four game heater right now. Yeah, and there's still just one game
under 500 account in the ties. Let me give you a couple of things to think about. Yeah, because this
is kind of a complex thing. How they could be that bad. You know what I'm saying? San Jose. Yeah,
right now. Yeah. There are at minus 17. Chicago. Is that minus 18? Okay. Nashville, the predators.
Are at minus 22. Emily, the Montreal Canadians are at minus 24. So I said 30. The goal
differential for the Pittsburgh Penguins. You were actually too high. Okay. Minus 27,
currently. So they're not too far back. Now darling, might prayer for you. My hope for you
is that your boys don't pull a white socks. I don't want this to be your team all season though.
Either do I. But that's where we're at. I'm not saying they're I'm just that. So they're
down there only what three points behind the next one. No, right now you're only a point back
on Pittsburgh. I mean, I'm Philadelphia. Okay. That's what I thought. And you're currently 10 points out
first. Yeah, which is New Jersey and Washington tie. I don't see them stay in that. You know,
who knows? It's early. Yeah, I know. We're also coming up on the season for
for the winter classic. It's almost time. We're excited about this. Where's it going to be
this year? There's probably, I think there's a handful of them. Okay. Let's get into TV talk and
stuff we watch this week. TV edition. Don anything you watch on TV this week? We did
serve that the the medical thing on NBC the office remake. Oh, Saint Dennis. Yeah,
something like that. Yeah. So if it's not as good as the office or park erect,
but trying to give it a shot, see how it goes. We are going to the new Disney plus one we haven't
got to yet, but we're probably going to watch tomorrow night. The new the new the new Star Wars thing is
going to go in crew. Yeah. Yeah, the first two episodes are if I haven't watched those yet. Yeah,
that's what we say. We're probably going to do that tomorrow night. I did not watch any major TV this
week because I've been trying to catch up on everything else. I understand. So just a couple of
headlines for this week ABC announces because she's doesn't have enough going on. Carry underwood
is going to co-host New Year's Rock and Eve with the Ryan Sequest. Why not? You got about two people
that just don't know how to sit out and then join the evening. I know, especially Ryan Sequest.
Now I've been a little fortunate in everything, you know, Disney plus slash Hulu has renewed rivals
for season two. So if you're a fan of that show, God bless you. Netflix has announced that season two
of Wednesday is set for next year. They have wrapped principal photography on it. Which one again?
Wednesday? Oh, I never. Never really got into it. You know what I'm saying?
But this one you might be interested in. Okay. We have a premiere from Paramount Plus for season two
of 1923, the Yellowstone prequel. And I'm interested on that one. That will kick off February 23.
So Mark your calendar on that. TV on DVD and Blue Ray. This coming Tuesday,
seasons one and two of the CW programs Sullivan's crossing. We also have seasons one two and three
of the Queen or Tifa led the equalizer. I watched the first season and then I watched some of the
second season and I just kind of tried one or two in a day and worked out for me too well. I liked it.
I just got others just kind of lost in the shuffle for me. Dragon Ball Super, the complete series
if you're a fan of DVD. Also, I'm back in the day, Donald members. Remember when they made the
toxic avenger into a cartoon? Yeah, I didn't call that toxic crusaders. Okay. You're going to get
the complete series of that available. Be complete cracking collection of Wallace and Garamit.
Which I'm a big fan there. The 60th Anniversary Specials for Dr. Who and the ultimate collection
of Kojak Don. Were you a Kojak guy back in the day? No, I wasn't. I was home if I'd never
got into. No, telly Savollas for you. Yeah, oh, I don't want to lolly pop and all that stuff. Who loves
you, baby. Yeah. Hey, I forgot back. We did start watching one episode of the agency.
Which thing? That's a paramount plus, right? Yeah, it's a showtime too. Okay. So, it's showtime
paramount. We watched one of the two, they started with two episodes. It was okay. Wasn't the best,
you know. But I will say this though. We saw the ad on there, we were watching the
all stones for that, so we did, but I also saw an ad for something. Got it on the last day.
We got Hulu now. Oh, you got it on the Hulu special. All right. Yeah, a dollar was a dollar a month
for a year. $12 for a year, not bad. Now you watch Showtime. And also the bear. We got, we saw the
first season on the text, but we got to cut up on the bear. All right. Now it's like a little movies
if you want to. And stuff. We watched this week. Movie edition. You see, I changed the melody
line there. Because you're incredible. I did see a movie this week done. Okay, it is a documentary
I found on the YouTube. It is called Insert Coin. This is the story of Williams and Midway
in the 80s and 90s. It starts with, you remember the game, Narc? Yeah, it starts with that. And it
goes all the way up through the advent of the home system. So you get, you get Smash TV, you get
mortal combat. You get all the things that they did in those years. It was done in 2020, but it just hit
YouTube a couple weeks ago. I thought it was good. Wasn't great, but it was good. So go check that out.
Anything that you want to talk about? We're not going to talk about here in a minute. Well,
now, because that's basically the only new one that is. Okay. Remember, this isn't just about
new movies. Just movies that are new to you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just trying to, we kind of
put a lot of old TV this last week. So, well, let's talk about something that's available on our
feed right now. It's here for Sunset Lounge, DFW. We put a little teaser up for you. A couple
things. One, you got our deconstruction of AEW full gear available on the main feed right now.
But you guys, if you're going to get, because I'm about to put Survivor Series up, that's not going
to be on the main feed. You got to pay a little bit more for that. But we also did our very first
SGP mystery movie done. Oh, how is it? I want people to go watch the video. We have a, we put a
real up today for it. I like where this is going. And we're looking forward to the day where you
can join us done and we can all suffer through this stuff together. I'm gay. Did you tell you what we
found in the, but like, because there's a TV show in there. So we had Sean Paul the TV show.
That's how it was in there. I think you told me one, you could say it again. Just to remember
first in 10 on HBO. Yeah, remember that. I got the whole series in one of the values. Yeah, you told
me that. Yeah, they're very excited about this. Yeah. Um, I don't know how I feel about this next bullet
point, John. Are you a fan of Dakota Fanning? Yeah. Man on fire, great movie. Going to be a series on
Netflix and your sister, Elfany. They are working on adapting a book. The memoir of Paris Hilton.
Now, there's rumors that could be a movie, but there's also rumors that could be a series. Okay,
and they don't know which one's going to play her. I need to say something about what's
only just happening in this football game. Okay, I appreciate when a fan goes to a game and they
want to talk trash about the other team. There was a guy in the stands and Detroit that would
that had cheese and a cheese grater because they're playing green bay. That had a waste of good cheese.
Unless you're putting it on a taco, that's out of frame. Just say it.
But anyway, Paris Hilton memoir, John, what's your thinking? I'm gay money because I heard
Dakota Fanning is a really nice person. They're a very, very interviewer, even when she was
young in the days before we even thought about like pressing all that. And it was after
Man and Far, but she's like at that young age, but such was really nice. She was 11 years old at the
time. You know, so once she's a good actor, she's done it, she's been around. I could see her doing
Paris. Well, I think she has a place that they're kind of going back and forth and who's going to
play her. Yeah. But I'm glad you mentioned Gary Murray done. Okay, what's that? As many of you know,
Gary Murray is one of the two people that I have said for over a decade. This show is not where
it is without him or Kelly Kitchen. So I got to see last night at the stolen water media Christmas
gathering, which was a blast. Yes, it was absolutely great time meeting it. See, meeting up with
everybody. But Gary Murray, when when we lost him a few years ago, you told me that his family
wanted to give me a very special gift. Do you like to share with the kids what what you brought
me from Gary? Do you remember? Yes, should we say page, plant? All of his Zeppelin vinyl is on the
other side of this desk. February 7, there is a new documentary called Becoming Led Zeppelin.
That is coming out. Two days early, they are going to have a fan event to show it in IMAX.
This came down today. Maybe yesterday. No, that's 24 hours. I am all in. Let's go.
You're talking about the stuff we're getting from Nicholas. We got an email about it. Yeah,
that's something. Yeah. But there is a fan event. So we're going to be checking that out. We're
going to get you updated on that. If you're a Led Zeppelin fan, I know one friend of mine, Wendy.
I'm going to let her know. Maybe we're fit in the IMAX. That's going to be awesome. Because you
know they're going to remaster everything was going to sound them fantastic. Did you know we're
getting another Jack Ryan movie done? No, I did. But it's going to be based on the TV show.
So it's going to be John Krasinski. So he's going to play the new Bruce Willis then,
basically. I mean, sorry, Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford wasn't even the last person to play it.
I know, I'm just saying, but you know, I just don't think of Harrison Ford as the guy to play.
But see Anna Miller was joining that film. Okay. So we got that going. Movie new releases in places
should get movie new releases this week. A buddy, good friend of the show Jim Briggle reached out to me.
Yes, right. It asked me if we were getting a screening of this film. And I, we're not.
And I, but I really now, he told me about it. It's called the Return. It has ray finds in
Juliet Benoche. After 20 years, Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, where he finds his wife
held prisoner by suitors, vying to be king and his son facing death at their hands. To win
back his family and all he has lost Odysseus must rediscover his strength. I'm kind of here for this
done Charlie plumbers also in this. I mean, you know, and it's under two hours. Why not?
And can I say something while we're on the subject of epic films? Okay. We saw something in
Gladiator 2 that we went. Oh, really? I did some research. Okay. That kind, and I'm
not going to spoil it, but it's what happens right in the middle of the movie. It, it did happen
in ancient Greece, but not to that extreme. I'll explain off here. Are you talking about
in Emean and Rome? Yeah. Can we say, no, no, no, don't talk about it. We'll talk about it
off here. All right. But it didn't happen. Just not to that extreme. Oh, yeah, that's one. Yeah, and I did,
when I did my review at www that's called uspodcast.com. I did our website. I did kind of put that
in there because I did research to make sure they did, like you're saying, not to that extreme though,
but you know, yeah, also a movie this week with the Amy Adams also with Scoot McNary,
almost a heat fan of, and Amy Adams, how you doing? It's called night. A woman pauses her career
to be a stay at home mom, but her was soon her dumbest domesticity, her ability to be at home,
takes us to a real turn. I'm out. Yeah, not me. No, no. Also this week,
wear wolves with Frank Grillo and Katrina law. I'm a big fan of both of these people. To scientists
try to stop a mutation that turns people into wear wolves after being touched by a super mood
the year before. It's not super moon ones. Lou Diamond Phillips is in this because
wear wolves, he's going to be in it. Let's see, anybody else I recognize? Not often. What are your thoughts
here, Don? I like Lou Diamond. And I could see, you could, the guy just drank this. Yeah, I mean,
this was one of my watch at the house. I don't think I'd go with theater for it. We also have
get away. This has Nick Frost in it. A family's vacation to a remote getaway takes an unexpected
turn when they discover the island they're on is inhabited by a serial killer. Dude,
it's the holidays. Come on. I'm not saying I'm just saying. Maybe Halloween. You're at least
two months late. You know, or maybe they're saying, hey, if you're getting your vacation
turn to all these be careful. We also have a movie called Carol in December.
Great. I think this is going on. Carol, December.
Self-finished Solomon Lynch takes a journey through his past, present, and future.
But it takes more than Christmas spirit to get things right in this story of hope, faith and redemption.
Is it like the Christmas story revamped or something like that? It would be a Christmas
Carol. Okay. All right. We also have a movie. We also have a movie called Me Without My Self This Week.
After a high-profile missing person's case, 16, I guess the year old Lyle returns home on
harm. Heavily shook his father sends him away to a therapeutic boarding school. There he forms a bond
with a staff member who helps realize the illusion of his life. So there's that.
And finally this week, a movie that Don has seen and his review is up at www.theclubhousepodcast.com.
That is our website. Why, two K. This was written and, excuse me, and directed by Kyle Mooney
from SNL. He was actually honest, and now this past week. Two high school nobody's
make the decision to crash the last major celebration before the new millennium, which is not correct,
because the millennium actually started in 2001. On New Year's Eve, 1999, the night becomes even
crazier when then they could ever have dreamed when the clock strikes in the night.
It's an hour and a half. Just like you said in your review, Don, 90 minutes. Let's go.
Yeah, Gibson gets out. Be careful. I know more. Go Reas review.
Exactly. But of course, I would say be careful, you know, get what you're going in when you go.
Yeah. Let me ask you this. Yeah, because I'm intrigued by this film.
Okay. Would I enjoy this film?
Does you know my proclivities?
Yeah, no. Is it like a Halloween horror film that you're definitely no, no, no, no, it's not that.
Okay. But there are some, you just didn't expect it happening and when it happens, it happens.
The, let's just say the incidents, what you read, I'm, were able to read on my review.
When they started to happen, they happened. They didn't, they didn't whitewash it or anything like
that, just to say the least. Not sure that's the term you're looking for, but okay.
Movies on DVD and blue right this week, Winnie the Poo, Blood and Honey, too. So if you
enjoyed that horror film, they made a sequel. I never saw that. I'm interested in that. Do you
go do that? I, I, movie you will not be rewatching. Never look away.
Comes back this. Oh, no, that's never like go that you didn't like. Okay. Yeah,
isn't that the Halle Berry thing? What is never a look away? Yeah.
Oh, this is Tom Shilling. Let's look up maybe a four in film.
Oh, yeah, this is a, this is a, this is a real war to film. Okay. I was thinking never, never let go.
That's something you did. Yeah. Yeah. We have a movie for Doc for his bad movie, right, Dawn.
Yeah. What's it? It's called Space Sharks.
There's an arrow. Robert's is in this. Anything to do with like sharp NATO.
Well, let's take a look. A military experiment conducted on a space station those horribly wrong
sending a new breed of weaponized sharks to earth with only one mission destroy everything in their path.
I'm here for it. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. There might be fun.
Aero video this week does their versions of the addiction and the last video store.
We have steel book addiction, addiction, addiction. Additions of the box trolls,
which is the same studio that did Kubo and then the two string of three strings.
Coraline, same studio, get to steel book. We have the 10th anniversary collectors edition,
Donna, you can believe it's been 10 years since interstellar came out.
The 40th anniversary of the never-ending story, Dawn, and it comes in a replica story book.
Over that. I don't remember seeing that in the theater. I saw that as a kid when it came out
in December when I was in Pittsburgh. People say this and I agree. If you want to know how messed
up we are as Janet X. There's go watch the never-ending story and remember we were in middle school
when that movie came out. The 40th anniversary of Paris, Texas. This week, criteria and also
did a version of this couple weeks ago. We got a four-case steel book for the Kevin Bacon
stir of echoes and the criterion collection has a couple of big ones this year. Felini's eight and a
half and we get a criterion collection of no country for old men, Donna. This week. Oh, wow. Call it,
frienddo. All right. And now.
The other half of this show is the cheap podcast. You're one stop shop for all things
professional wrestling. It's been a couple of weeks. So let's dive right in, Dawn, survivor series
was a thing last weekend. What were your thoughts? I've didn't any of the, the war games
was there any surprises on the endings? For me, you know, watch it? No, I watched it. Okay.
No, I think that the faces won both matches. I thought the matches themselves were very well done.
There were. And we did the show LA. So you'll know the up this weekend. But
we're going up and doing the trash campaign again, you know. But it was also there were two
jumps at the same time. I'll give her that, but it's just kind of like, you know, you did it last
year. That I don't think was needed for what it's done. But I thought that we're both really
good matches. Apparently Shamus cracked a rib in that triple threat. So he's going to do a little
while. Yeah. And then there were a couple of other injuries as well, but we're keeping on things.
I thought it was a good show. I believe I rated it as a, as a beat plus. Yeah, and that
Shamus match was good as a wrestling match. I thought. Mm-hmm. The, um, I think Gunther is still
solidifying that he's a guy who could wrestle and deserve to be champ. Even though with the
shenanigans with their try to make a story, I don't think that was needed. I think a simple
clean win with steel would have been better. Um, versus the, you know, I'm not left in dollar.
You know, I'm talking about. Mm-hmm. But apparently it's being poised for a big singles push
next year. Oh, Finn, Finn is. Yep. Apparently he's bad. I can realize he's been in the company for 10
years now. Well, I don't actually believe. Yeah. But, um, overall, it was a good paper view. I'd probably
give it like a, um, cause the more games still were good. I thought the wins matches really good.
Uh, I knew, uh, Tippy time was going to do pull something out of the trash, which he did. Yeah,
I saw that coming. I didn't say that the pre show is what it does. It does the briefcase get involved.
Yes. Yeah. Um, but yeah, overall still, I think the wrestling on those other matches were good.
But of course, in some more games, it's going to, and we knew that was going to happen.
You know, you knew the new Romanus can spear punk and all that. I heard Bronson got hurt, though, too.
Yes. We're going to leave that to the side. Okay. That was what that was rough to see. Yeah.
Also, he's going to be out. Have not heard as it yet. Okay.
Also, turning point was a thing on Friday night with TNA.
Only real interesting note from that. Train Miguel could not make it for the six man. He was having
travel issues. Did you see a replacement done? No, because I don't have the, I never, no.
Oh, okay. I heard something about him coming back. Matt Riddle and they lost that match. So,
they did announce that rebellion will be April 27th at the Gailon Center at USC.
That'd be Southern Cal by the way. And slam a nursery will be July 20th at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York.
So, two big paper views for them this coming year. And we have new wow tag team champs in
Big Rick Betty and Jesse Jones. So, you got that going for you. Smackdown talk,
mission, my pick to win the U.S. title did advance in the tournament. So, there is that
Raw news, McAfee returns next month, Dawn. Oh, really? Because he's, he's, because of the football
or what? Yeah, college football is going to be done. So, he can go back to, apparently he will be
going back to Raw with Michael Cole and they're going to move test a tour and, uh, and wait,
bear at the Smackdown. Okay. I don't like, wait, bear it. I think, wait, bear it is good. You know,
he tries to pay the, you know, the heel announcer stuff, but still he's a good announcer, I feel.
They have said today that the Netflix era will still be PG.
Oh, they're not, they're, yeah, they're not going to push things. And they have not said anything
about Netflix, but all Raw, uh, all the Raw archives will be leaving peacock at the end of the month.
I'm assuming they'll go to Netflix.
We're hoping that officially. You know, I mean, exactly. So, basically, you could streamline
basically, I think, and then, we'll see, on Netflix, we're watching replay or something.
Now, I'm talking even the archives. Yeah. I think we'll, I think you'll be able to get every episode of
Raw ever, because they're leaving peacock. I think they'll go to Netflix. Yeah. Which I didn't think
they would, but apparently they're not going to be on peacock. So, apparently they have a new app
called Light Show that they tested out this week on Raw, where Lillian would
queue everybody to turn their phones, their flashes on their phones on, so they're,
their flashlights on their phones, and there would be an app that would interact with it.
I haven't seen the results of it, but I'm interested to see what this does. Yeah.
Uh, Dakota Kai advances in the Women's Intercontinental Title Tournament. I like that, but I think
that that belt, as a women's belt, to me, looks better than the men's intercontinental belt.
Bring back the oval belt and let that one be the women belt, because I like that. It was really
good on that white strap. Yeah, I do like that, because I remember there's been some different
incons. I don't like the current one. It looks just too. I like that they put the little blue
splashes in it. It's a little better, but it's not the oval belt for my favorite. Yeah, I mean,
the one that, like, that steam boat in one in WrestleMania three, that's the one I always think of.
I, I found it also hard to believe, and then I kind of did the math and was like, wow,
it's been four years since Biggie was in the ring.
It was just, it was his neck or something, or yeah, it was his neck.
It was a rich holland, it was a bad spot. So, do you think he could ever come back?
I hear conflicting reports, but here's my question. After the, the big thing from raw
was the new day turning on Biggie. Where do you think this goes because I have a theory?
I don't know. Yeah, because, okay, Xavier never had the big title. He's never had a singles title
at all. Yeah, Biggie won the championship. Coffee won the championship.
But he never did. The only thing Xavier has from a single standpoint is King of the ring.
So, what do you think? I think this is going to start a new feud, and they're going to bring
somebody over to do it because I think Biggie picks up where Bobby lastly left off with the street
province. So, what do you think brings in then?
Bobby, will actually come in back? No. Okay, remember the street profits were hooked up with
B-Fab and Bobby last year before Bobby last year's left. Okay, okay, I'm saying Biggie E
takes that role and manages the street profits bringing the jersey and B-P guy. Okay, so steep street
profits. Yeah, brings them over to raw or brings the new days SmackDown, one of the two.
Okay, so also we had the return of Drew McIntyre. So, we're going to see where this
goes. And that might be the water for this whole punk of Seth Rollins thing, but we'll see.
Yeah, I mean, it's good to see him. I don't know. Who do you? I don't see who they can put him in a
feud with. They'll probably pick up on punk again, and it'll probably be a triple threat.
NXT deadline is this Saturday. I'm very much looking forward to this one because this is
it looks like it's going to be a good show because Rensen Claire wins the women's
four way to get into the iron survivor match as Eddie Thorpe wins the men's, but then is a
tackback stage. So we don't know how that's going to work out on Saturday, but I always like this
event. So we're going to see how it works. Bishop was there and he said the phrase, you can cut the
tension with a chainsaw. I'm not sure that was what you were going for, dude. It's a chainsaw.
Like you don't, that doesn't make the metaphor work. You can cut the tension with a
butter knife. That's the metaphor because it's so thick and so tense that you can just cut right
to it. Okay. That was weird. I was like a shock. I thought he did a good job. I thought
it would be great. Jim and X-Pock were both there. I don't know what that does for your programming,
but you know, I was good to see the legends. It's it's crazy to think about it. We're creeping
up on the 30th anniversary of the first nitro. That was how long ago did you say 30? 30 years.
30 years next year. I do believe. I think it's 30 years next month.
A. W. Again, our deconstruction of full gear is available. We did the whole thing four and a half
hours. That could save us. That's not you. You get your money. It's worth on that one. That's right.
Juice Robinson is out injured. He was in the continental classic and he is out and we don't know how long.
So in that set, because that guy, I could see him winning it because the guy's getting over.
Just being juice coming out just being the weird kind of rowdy guy being Mr. Tony Storm.
Yeah. So, Don, did you watch Rampage? Yeah. The whole thing.
So, Rampage, they were doing a salute to Luchadors. And last week on Rampage, Thunder Rosa was talking
about it and she didn't have an opponent so she put out an open challenge. And then we had
computer who was apparently the female version of hologram. Yeah. Hello. And then she called her
Harley Graham. Harley Graham. My favorite line was when Daddy Magic said, I don't know if you
knew this, but Harley Graham was trained by the midnight writer. And I just went, well played.
It's a deep cut and I'm not explaining it if you don't know just do the research.
But, you know, she, she's getting over. I love her. I think she's great. Yeah.
She is, she is Ms. Zion Quinn. Ms. Zion Quinn? Remember Zion Quinn that was used to be an NXT?
Okay. That's her boyfriend. Okay. And the only thing I have is dynamite. Kyle Fletcher
gets three points in the continental classic in a great match of looking just looking
forward to see where this goes as we come. Next week is winner is coming.
Wednesday is that show? Yeah. You don't see anything changes on that one, do you?
The match I'm interested to see is I mean, it's here at Kyle versus Mariah May for the title.
Because they had a nice little much change last night. I really did dig that and I'm looking
forward to that, but I don't even know what else is on that card. I gotta look it up.
