Episode 26

5 o'clock on the west coast. It is the 10th of January in the year of our Lord 225. Season 15, episode 26, 695 times.

You have been welcome to the Clubhouse Podcast or one stop shop for all thanks sports entertainment, pop culture, pro wrestling, it's what we do. Every Thursday, right? Welcome.

My name is Rob and I once watched a man throw it his own kid in a father's son game. That way for me is my co-host and a man who hit a ball so hard once it took off the South America and needed a visa. He is Alex.

I'm not sure. It was too high. You are coming through your your laptop, microphone currently, sir.

I literally just checked it. It's actually registering this microphone, so it might be duplicated or work on that. Okay.

At the bottom of your screen is the official fact checker of sooner or later productions and a man who once went to a game and was so excited because they might be sitting in the front row. You may know a music boonoo, but his mom and even don Ford, I'm going to call him Don Ford. Hey, man.

You'll understand here in a moment. Okay. I'm going to say, you know, because games, you know, I know getting in a film, but there you go.

You'll pick against your team. What are you talking about? You're a team.

And that was my head. Not my heart. You're saying on my heart's my heart's your dream.

If you didn't pick up, do you what? I even put on LA's post about I want to be the special teams coachman. He becomes a new coach of the Cowboys on Facebook.

He'll be the coach of the Cowboys on Facebook. I'm sure. Yeah, but he wants to be the coach of the Cowboys.

If I say, if you get the role, I'll be there. This is just further truth. It's Don can't tell certain people apart.

Like you were lost on you people. Way to start off the show. That's dive right in for those of you that didn't pick up what I was putting down.

And I don't want to mention any names, but as initials are Don Ford, all three of our intros tonight were quotes from one bobbuker. Okay, right today at the age of Mr. Baseball, you know, as I was doing show prep, I was sitting on the couch and getting ready for the show as I do.

I just went to IMDB and looked at the first two major league films and went straight to the quote section, just for the Harry Doyle stuff. And I have come to the conclusion, just a montage. I was going to look for a montage and just play it.

I need a use of all of his lines from major league. That could be world peace. I'm just saying.

Well, think about it this way. He's also one of the very few people that was in the all three major league movies. I'll tell you the one that really broke me that I'd forgotten about.

I wonder if he's pointing at the left fielder. That was that one got me. I just I giggled like a child.

Harry Doyle, okay, any WWE Hall of Famer we can be proud of. That is true. Would you like me to break your brain with a euker or a euker bit here?

Please do. The very first time I heard Bob Euker say just a bit outside was sitting next to my grandfather in Port St. Lucy watching a spring training game for the Mets.

Was it a drop or was it really him? That's like at the same time. No, it was my, okay, so it was pop up and Bob Euker sitting next to him.

Oh my god. He was Bob Euker's ride from the airport to the stadium and just they wound up sitting together. I just I remember I was working at the theater when the first major league came out and I remember seeing the first trailer and the end of the trailer was the just a bit outside clip.

Well, that's the before they had before they played the credit scene after. But and we've talked about this before about the trivia about that trailer. The scene at the end of the trailer is actually not in the movie, but they use that joke in major league too.

And the end of the trailer it's the scene where they're all in the restaurant and Rick Vaughn's ripped the sleeves off of his jacket and he's all mad and he's like in Tom Baron just says, Well, it wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks. Rick says name one is Yellowstone. Yep, and they used that in too, but it wasn't in one.

I just and I also have fond memories because on my 47th birthday the world was shut down. I was supposed to go to the Ranger game against the braves on my birthday with Rachel. There it was.

What a burger fishing hat night. Like the stars were full on a line. Everything checks boxes and then the world broke.

But that night instead, Alex and Rachel came over and we got water burger and we watched major league. And that is something I will always remember. That was COVID dude.

Oh, COVID that was the COVID thing canceling. All right. Let me see what both some of them are now really talking about.

We'll just keep it moving. Okay. But before I was going to save this for when baseball truly started up and spring training.

But you know how we've said that one of the great things about film is when you're still catching stuff years later. I never realized the book end of major league. Go ahead.

So one of the very first lines from Bob Yucca as baseball starts in Arizona with spring training was you can tell how the season's going to go by the first hitter. The first hitter is Willie May's Hayes with a swinging bun to beat it out to first and the movie spoiler alert for I don't want to do the math on how many years it ends with Jake Taylor on the bun beating out the throw. Oh, yeah.

I never realized that somebody else had pointed that out to me. Kudos if you're not following it. It is a great page that I am a member of called romantic about baseball on social media.

They do some really great digging. One of the best camera shots of our time to is that slide. Oh, yes.

The tracing of beating home from overhead. I don't know why would they ever go to that close shot on the umpire with the wrong hat. That never goes well.

I mean, the Milwaukee Brewers have been very, very like they put up about six really, really classy posts like I'm Facebook and Twitter today. Like I was, you know, there's a lot of teams doing that, but the Milwaukee was his home. And don work through your intro was from a Miller light commercial.

He did me an F scored and he was like, I must be in the front row and he winds up like all the way up in right field on the top of the thing. Yeah. Well, he wants a WWE Hall favorite correct.

Yeah. That is correct. Okay.

Now, now because he said earlier, I think he still is just for candor. Yeah. What was I remember seeing him being choked by Andre, what was his role with the WWE.

He was just he was a celebrity interviewer on multiple big shows. Okay. All right.

Yeah. And that see he filled it for me and Jean during bathroom breaks. That particular was a was like WrestleMania three.

I think. Do they're two or three? I think that was the lead up.

Yeah. I think that was one of the best cells of all time. Just him.

His head just flailing around. We missed you, sir. Already, but I also love the one of the ones that got posted within an hour of the news breaking.

There was a sign put on Euchar statue at the stadium with that quote that says, now you're always in the front row, sir, with a Miller light unopened set next to it. And I'm like, sometimes people are just awesome. What's that?

Yeah. All right. Gentlemen.

We are four days away from the National Championship. Here are your updated standings. The over under currently is at 500.

It is 23 and 23. And yes, there are 47 both this year. Currently in fourth place.

And I say fourth place because it is not a guarantee depending on the pick that he will be last with also with 23 wins and 23 losses is done. So, Don, the National Championship game, Ohio State versus Notre Dame, Sunday, 9, 630 Central on the Espin from Mercedes, Ben stadium and Atlanta, Georgia. Who you got?

On that right now. The line right now, Ohio State minus six or six or eight. It's somewhere in there.

But we're not picking against the spread on this. Okay. I'm going to see this.

So I'm going to say to straight out the spread or not. I think Notre Dame is going to win. They're going to upset.

Oh, all right. I don't see they're going to flat out win. Only ahead of on only ahead of Don by one point is Ziggy.

I will be getting his prediction this weekend. I forgot to DM him today. Currently tied for first place at 26 and 20 are both Alex and myself.

Who you got? So make me say it. All right.

Actually, I make me say it. And at least make sure you put it in small tiny suck eye letters. And so basically we'll win.

We'll tie because I also picked Ohio State. So but a lot of Dylan Dylan ran away with it. Nobody can catch him.

Yeah. So I'll hit you up to get you your prizes. What did Dylan get right so far?

Right now he's I think he's at 34 or 35 right out. Right. Just 40.

Well, remember he was 99.9% for like a majority of it. And I have not checked it recently. I mean, I what are you drinking sir that looked like 92 poison.

This is the sparkling ice of strong archery starburst. No free at flavor. Okay.

I want to say that the thing I love about this 12 playoff system is that all the first ground by teams to top four all got knocked off the first week. So if it wasn't for the 12 round, there's no way that Ohio or what was it? It was the second.

Well, he names two rounds. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I was rushing. Yeah.

I don't know. All the teams that had a buy it was the second round. Yeah.

I got knocked off. And so there had been no way under the old system that either Ohio or Notre Dame would even have shot the title. So I love the 12 playoff system.

That is a valid point. I mean, I very much enjoyed the 12 team set up. Yeah.

Don't have vibe. But I would love to see if somebody had the old BCS formula to see what the final going into both season, what the top four would have been. Dylan is still in the 99.9 percentile crushing the game.

He nailed it. Let's get into NFL talk. Hopefully.

If you are going to be watching the superb owl on on February the night, but you're wondering how you're going to do it. Fox announcing yesterday that they will stream the superb owl on Tobi. Tobi is a streaming service that you don't have to have a membership for.

But it's it's so it's up up at the weirdest times. As soon as I said that, Kai went. That was awesome.

I'm not gonna lie. I have my camera perfectly placed. So I cannot see my screen.

She's like, what to me? I'm going to do it. Isn't Super Bowl not on Fox this year?

What's the deal? That's what I just said done. I mean, it's not announced that they will stream the superb owl on Tobi for people that can't get it otherwise.

But what do you mean otherwise? I mean, it's still going beyond people who don't have TV done. Well, no, people that maybe don't like they watch TV on their computer.

So they wouldn't have an antenna. Oh, okay. Okay.

I'm just trying to get it. Yeah. Now that I understand where you're going.

That's a fair question. It does make a lot more sense. I didn't say did it go to pay for you?

Like they didn't talk in about? No. No one would put that in the internet or into the world.

That will never happen because that will just riot. Well, I mean, technically, it kind of already could be considered that. But the ad revenue covers it for us.

All right. Let's get into, I'm sorry. Super wild card.

We get, we get. Even though they don't want to call out to that anymore, I'm still calling it that. I don't care.

Clippers. I'm sorry. Chargers.

Chargers giving you. They changed the name just because of that confusion. I want that.

I want it. But I also like Los Angeles. Super chargers.

Right. But I just want to hear Chris Burman have to say football clippers. They were giving Houston 2 and a half.

And then lost by 20. In a game that wasn't close out of the gate. No, it wasn't.

But it did supply us with one of the greatest moments of the weekend. Oh, as before. I didn't say it.

That happened throughout the game. There are cuts of. Oh, yeah.

Crash talk. Please go. Alex and I watched the game on the Nickelodeon feed.

Eventually. Yeah. And when it was when neither team had scored a touchdown.

It was like 6 to 3. Door of the four pops up and goes, who needs a map to the end zone? And we lost our minds.

So it was like cartoon characters are talking smack to the NFL. This is the world I live in. But the other one before we actually because we started off watching on a I don't want to call it a proper feed because I almost seems demeaning because Nickelodeon did do a good job with the main feed.

The main feed. Thank you. Apparently, while we were starting on the main feed before Rob went, hey, isn't this also being streamed on Nickelodeon?

And I went, we're doing that. But apparently, door up popped up after the first sack. It was, did you see that coming?

The quarterback sure did. I need a super cut of Dora track. That's what I really need.

What I really, and I told Alex is during the game, but I really did like also about the door of the explore thing is she explained the penalties done. Yeah. So he would pop up from behind the score.

And when she was explaining the penalty, she would literally go delay of game is. And so she was showing what the signal was. Okay.

Learn it. I thought it was brilliantly done. Oh, yeah.

Like the fall start would be. Yeah. They made it purely educational without it being demeaning even for people like us watching.

It was really, really cool. Nate Burlison, SpongeBob Squarepants, and Patrick in the booth. Oh, and Nate and SpongeBob and Patrick were CGI, but it was that CGI that they can match the voice as you're talking.

Almost that like awkward claymation AI. I was, I had to go run out yesterday and get my hair cut. And they were talking about it on good morning football.

And they were losing it about Patrick's love for JK Dobbs. JK Dobbans. Dobbans.

That's it. Yeah. They were like, was he just saying his name all the time?

I was like, yeah, pretty much. I don't know. It was JK Scott.

JK Scott because he was talking about the punters and he got so excited whatever there was a pun. The problem was I don't know if the booth they were in doing like the face mapping or whatever couldn't see the game because he kept saying the opposite punter for the opposite team. So, and it was JK Scott coming out.

He was like, oh, God, what was it? Tommy Tones and and when JK Scott was coming out, it was Tommy Tones and it eventually it got right, but then it was right back to wrong because it was just kidding Scott. It's team, is he made call them just kidding Scott?

Sure, Patrick. Why not? Baltimore was giving nine to Pittsburgh, but it wasn't enough for Pittsburgh to cover as they win by two touchdowns.

Buffalo shows Denver the door at Highmark Stadium 31 to 7 after giving them eight. Billy, that I'm going to say 22 to 10 does not indicative of that of that game. No, not at all, or fool you.

Billy was giving them five and a half. It beats them by 12. Oh, live by the doink.

Die by the doink. Stupid bookball key. As, as, yeah, my fucking ears.

But you know what that kid with Washington is the truth. I believe somebody on this show has been saying that since before the track, I've never denied it. I know, but Jaden Daniels is absolutely awesome.

They were talking about it on inside the NFL and they were showing like close ups of him and they're like, he's just stone face. Like, there's no, you don't see any kind of panic at all. He just got in there and did the deal.

And he got a chunk taken out of his cheek early in the game. And all I kept hearing from people was like, yeah, you were going to have to get the cart for me and he's just ripping and he's like, nope, got a game to play. And in a game that boy was I wrong as the Rams are all over the Minnesota Vikings 27 to 9.

I'm like, yeah, I did not see that coming. I did not see that coming. I did not.

I did not see that coming. I did not see that coming. I did not see that coming.

I did not see that. I got to do that. But also shout out to the Arizona Cardinals who sent their private team planes for to bring all the, all the staff, all the players, families and pets to the state.

So did you, did you see it didn't end there, though? They literally went out of their way to get all of the items paint and everything exactly as they would use in so-fi stadium to ensure that that was as much of a home game as the Rams could have in appearance. It was the exact same paint down to the item number for everything that they use and so if I do make sure it was authentic.

And you know what? I feel like we have to give a pass. We're all Cardinals fans for at least a little one.

Yep. I will also say this. Actually, let's get to this week's games and then I'll give my opinion on something coming up Saturday afternoon at 330 Central Houston goes to arrowhead stadium Tacy giving 8 and a half in a divisional playoff game.

But here's the other interesting thing you have with that. This, this had referee. I, I, I drawing a blank on his name.

Patrick Mahomes has never lost a game. He has referee. However, this season in the 430 times slot.

So 430 Eastern 330 for us. The chiefs haven't won a game. It's a weird little anomaly.

They've had three or four games in their offer. It's the only games they've lost. Which way do you have the first of something?

Which way are you going? I'm, give me the chiefs. I know that's a big number, but Houston looked terrible up until last week and they definitely are a better home team.

Don. Well, with 8 and a half, I'm going to, I'm going to take, I'm not going to take the chiefs. I'm going to take the, sorry, the raiders, the Texans.

Texans, I mean, there you go. I also am taking the Texans plus 8 and a half. I don't think they're going to win this game, but it's like, it's what Kansas City has done almost all season.

They're doing enough to win. Which is the smart move. You only got to win by a point.

You don't have to blow everybody out. And then you can go to the Super Bowl and go nuts. In that, in that same scope, though, the chiefs have been barely ahead.

Their defense is really clicking and they are now finally for the first time all season at full strength on offense. I still don't think it's going to be enough to get them back, but that, that's a dangerous thought. In another game of the teams are a combined 27 and 7 this year, football club goes to Ford Field and Detroit's giving them 9 and a half.

This is going to be fun game. This is going to be fun game Detroit. They're, they're going to be hot.

I'm taking Detroit, even with that many points. I will stick to Jaden Daniels. I will take, I think Detroit wins, but I think it's going to be closer than people think just because Washington's offense is going to be able to try and keep pace, but they'll never get ahead.

Team of destiny. Give me Detroit minus 9 and a half because here's the thing. If Detroit gets up on them, we know MCDC well enough.

He will not take his foot off the gas. By favorite, like almost uninstall report was, wait, we have Dan Quinn and Dan Campbell facing each other. Are the punters even going to be there?

And there would be a punter is for kickoff purposes. Sunday midday to a clock central, the Rams go to the link, Philly giving six. You're tough, but I still think Philly's at home is going to win the thing.

I agree with Don, especially since the Rams are so much better as an indoor team similar to Detroit. So I think they might have some trouble. Did you see the weather report?

I did not. Oh, okay. So what time does the game start, Rob?

Two o'clock central. All right. So for our time in the central, at 130, snow flories are supposed to start and go the entire day.

Yeah, give me Philly minus six. I say one, guarkly might set records. I'm just saying give me the Philly minus six because this is just Philly kind of scares me right now.

I love the both of my Super Bowl picks are still alive in this brings me joy. I think that's both of us. I think it's all three of us.

I don't think so. I think Don had Jacksonville somewhere because all three of us did have Detroit. I can say that.

Yeah. And then 530 central on Sunday, Baltimore goes to Highmark Stadium and is giving Buffalo a point. This is a surprise.

This is gonna be a game kids. Of course. I'll take Buffalo.

This has the potential to be one of the best NFL games we've had in years. And just remember folks, it is yes that Rob Irvin if he just got the kids of death. I'm saying I'm sorry.

I mean, I think at least I want to say at least I had this as the AFCJB and chip, which I didn't because I have the chiefs winning. But we did say Baltimore would make the playoffs and go far. But yeah, I don't know where to go though.

I believe the only difference between you and I. I think the only difference between your picks and my picks Rob were I had Detroit beating Baltimore and you had the chiefs beating Detroit. There we go.

Yeah, because I said you're the champs. Still somebody tells you. Yeah.

It's scary. Which has been the theory for. If I can't, the wonder of that Buffalo game goes to the Super Bowl.

Even KC wins. I said that last week. I said that last week when they win.

Now, I would they still give me Buffalo plus one. Because even though they both play out doors, there's something about that stadium and builds Mafia that just gives them in it. And if Josh leak effect.

Yeah. And if Josh Allen as I said on inside the NFL last week, if he puts on the cape get ready. And you know, I hate the ravens, but the ravens win.

I still think they're going to be KC. Okay. I agree.

And I said the ravens do win. We're holding kind of have to. No, I mean, I'm just saying if they win the game, that they will be KC the next week is what I'm saying.

If the FKC wins. What? Yeah.

I have the win in the Super Bowl. Would say the winner of this game is going to beat KC because that's who they'd have to play to get to the Super Bowl. Okay.

I, I, I, I'll do the, I'll do the dawn. I'm going to be daring and say it doesn't matter who wins the other game, whoever wins this goes to the Super Bowl and loses. Because they're the two best teams in the NFL right now outside of Detroit.

You're not wrong. And for me, I'm taking Baltimore. Yes, the home field advantage is real in Buffalo.

But Baltimore is playing like a more complete team right now. The only thing that would be really curious to me is to see where Zay flowers is. I might have not seen an update on his injury reports yet.

If Zay flowers is healthy, that becomes a reversal game and they're probably favored by three. NBA standings garbage. Thank you.

At Eastern Conference Atlantic Division, the Toronto Raptors. Hey, they got their 10th win, but they've still lost 31 games. They are 18 and a half back there for back on Brooklyn, Brooklyn.

Nets are two back on Philly, Philly. Now 10 and a half games back on the mix. They've lost four in a row.

The mix now two back on Boston. In the central division, the Chicago Bulls, how the mighty have fallen. They're 18 and 23.

They're 17 back and they've lost three in a row. The pistons, former champs to basketball, they are three and a half a head of Chicago and they've won two. They are a half game back of the Pacer's Pacer's one back on Millawoke and the bucks are now 12 back on Cleveland in the southeast division.

The Washington wizards, they have a 158 winning percentage right now. They've lost seven in a row. They are 6 and 32.

However, they are 6 and 32, but they're only 15 teams back in the division. They're three at a half. So tell me why NBA got rid of divisions and the playoffs.

Charlotte now 10 games back on the heat, who are just trade to me, but we'll get it done. I'm sick of hearing about it on by the way. I'm just going to say this.

Deon Sanders is not coaching the cowboys. They're a half game back. Where did we get three?

The Hawks are now a back game back in Orlando. I think he coaches in Vegas in the Western conference Pacific division. The Phoenix signs are 11 games below 500 and they're three back in the division.

See what happens when you stop calling them phoenix. They are a half game back of Golden State. Golden State and Sacramento are at 500 right now.

That's insane. They are both a half game back on the lakeers. The lakeers are now a half game back on the cleapers.

Who have the best arena in basketball right now? Yes, they do. In the southwest division.

Fly, Pelican is 12 games below 518 back. They are 10 and a half games back of the spurs. Spurs now two back on Dallas Dallas, four back on Memphis.

Memphis is two games back on Houston Houston, Houston because they've won five in a row. In the northwest division, the Utah Jazz. They're, you know, they're there.

I've 100, they're 23 back. They are three games back on Portland. The trailblazers are six at a seven and a half back on Minnesota, Minnesota, three back on Denver.

Denver now nine and a half back on O. K. C.

Who have one three and are in a row and are nine and one in their last 10. That team is coming alive again. Let's take it.

We're 15 minutes into the game in a sunrise forward and it's three to Detroit. Into the second, 15 minutes of the second period. Let's get some defense going boys.

Those standings. Eastern conference. The Buffalo sob race.

They're still terrible. They are, you know, they're a nice 17 points out of first place. They are five points behind the red wings, red wings now two back on Montreal.

We got it. You did, you did, but I couldn't hear you. There's something that's like a delay.

I think it's, it has my quirks and one of these days when I get over there, we're going to fix it. Okay. But Don did it.

He gets credit for it because I saw that. I don't know. He did it as a French mind.

That's today. He's done so. Don, so.

I'm a cheat. Don, so. Go Sunday.

Let's see. The Canadian's are a point back on Oderwa. The senators now two back on Boston who are tied with my lightning.

Lightning now six back on my Panthers. The Panthers now a point back on Toronto because Toronto's dropped three in a row. Where we going, Don?

The most important. We are correct sir. We're the New York Islanders.

Our 22 games back in this division. They're two back on the Rangers. The Rangers now a point bolt behind Don.

Your Pittsburgh penguins are currently tied with Philly at 44 points. But they're four back on Columbus because Columbus is on a five game heater. And let me tell you something.

I was watching the intermission report here on the game on the Espion. And they showed alternate jerseys for both the Red Wings and Columbus. The Red Wings, it was just like a cursive they twaw right here.

But the Columbus Bluejackets, it was just a cannon. And I was like, let's go! Let's see, where are we?

Columbus, Detroit. I've never heard of Detroit. That's, that's the, one of the nicknames for Detroit was the originally intended pronunciation of Detroit.

Okay. It actually was Detroit before it was Detroit. Columbus now seven back on the hurricanes, Carolina two back on the Devils.

The Devils are now six back on the Washington Capitiles. Let's go to the Western conference because that's what you do. In the central division, the Chicago Blackhawks are still terrible.

They're not a good Sunday. They are currently 33 points back after playing 44 games. They are five points behind Nashville.

Predators are eight back on hockey club, hockey club is three back on St. Louis. The blues are nine back on Colorado, Colorado, breathing down Dallas's neck by two points, but Dallas is right on top of Minnesota, only back by one.

And the jets without Benny are five games up on Minnesota in the Pacific division. So many names depending on the team. Just to prove that.

You know what? No, I can't look anything up because we still have something else. That's right.

Speaking of which, I watched one of those mini docks on YouTube about the band the jets from the 80s. Any in the jets is where their name comes from. Oh, really?

Yep. Any in the jets what? Remember the band the jets don't?

Yeah. Yeah. Their name comes from Benny in the jets.

Okay. Hey, Keith. Let's see.

San Jose will get there. Yeah. They're right behind the Seattle.

Seattle is tied with Anaheim. They're both seven games back on Vancouver. The connux are a point back on Calvary.

Flamethrower now four back on the King's King's six back on Edmonton and Vegas leads that division by two points. Edmonton is on a three game heater. Gentlemen, it is now time for North America's favorite game show.

What is the gold differential? With this on horse fish. I like to let the echo ring a little bit.

Yeah. I give the same answer last week and I was over. Now, I'll give you over again, but I'm going to keep saying this until I'm under.

Negative 50. I'm saying the 50. Telling it to go over.

Well, I said 40 last week and I think I was over as well. So I'm going to say minus 43. I think they got past that.

Gentlemen. Yeah. Oh, we're both over.

You are both over. Okay. I will tell you this.

The Chicago black hawks. Their gold differential is only two goals better than San Jose right now. Oh, the San Jose sharks have played 46 games.

They are 14, 26 in six in those games for a total of 34 points, which currently puts them 27 points out of first place. In January. Yeah.

They are 814 and 1 at home, 612 and 5 on the road. There are 3, 7 and 0 in their last 10. The San Jose sharks currently have a gold differential of minus 41.

Oh, that was a week early. And that is where we are at. Let's get into TV as we talk.

Stuff we watch this week. Tell a vision of the decision. Which got boys?

Well, it's not new. I did binge back through the league because missing football with the layoffs there. And feeling like I might have to put my fandom on eBay if we make a certain draft pick that I think will be stupid.

But for the more recent effect, have either of you gentlemen watched shrinking? My wife started watching that this week and she said she liked it a lot. Okay.

I loved. I loved the first season. The second season dropped end of last year with the finale happening or the season finale happening on Christmas Eve.

I apologize, Dawn. Did you say you had or had not? No, no.

What's in it? No. Okay.

So real quick, shrinking on Apple TV. Plus is the Harrison Ford Jason Segal. Is it Segal or Segal?

Segal. Jason Segal. And I believe Jennifer Williams.

It's based around the therapists. And Jason Segal gets in the trailer. So it's not really a spoiler.

It picks up with him in the first season, basically still being in the middle of mental breakdown because his wife has passed very unexpectedly, very tragically. So it's him trying to put his life back together while also having his daughter who has to pick up a lot of slack because he's no longer an adult. But getting into the second season, it's oh, man.

It's so good. I just started it the last couple of days. I'm halfway through the second season and give Brett Goldstein everything he ever wants.

Just give it to him. I love that man. That's at one point.

I started giggling during a moment that was emotional. So I'm not ashamed to admit it. I was crying.

But then I started laughing independently. So it wasn't laughing so hard. I cried because he turned and did the Roy Kent walk and I'm like, wait, is that just how Brett Goldstein walks?

Good. Well, be done. You got anything from this week.

TV. Why? Yeah, that we started because we got the who least subscription.

Michael Todd. The second season of the bear and started on the third. Yeah, I still got to do the third season.

The first we got halfway through the first show in the third season. I love the first 12 minutes. Yeah.

They do that. They're great with the hook. Just say nothing.

Just let it breathe. Let it breathe. I got nothing.

I got nothing. All right, Disney plus with a big announcement this week season two of a soka. As we know, we lost race Steven said this year, but we are we are replacing the actor.

Alex, did you see who is playing Bailey and Skull. Bailey and Skull. Skull.

I'm sorry. Because that that is also Bailey and Skull. Hi, baby.

No, he's unconscious. Yes, I did see this. Do you have the note about why he was the best choice?

I just saw that it was Rory McCann from Game of Thrones and I'm ready for it. Well, don't forget he also had his turns in hot fuzz, too. Yeah, but yeah, no him from Game of Thrones.

That is yes, he was the hound in Game of Thrones. But it turns out, uh, Rory McCann and Race Stevenson supposedly were incredibly close friends as being larger actors that most people didn't approach so they had each other, but we're both very kind intelligent, uh, European actors. So they were saying that because Rory knew Ray as well as any other actor while still being able to physically embody that size of a character that he would probably be the best choice to be able to do his friend justice.

And I was like, oh my heart. Because I was like, I don't know how I feel about that. And then I saw the reason and I'm like, everything gets a pass.

Let's go. Food network. We don't talk about them a lot, but they announced today that they have renewed Harry Potter wizards of baking for a second season.

Incredibly popular show. I've even heard and I don't watch food network. Fox has renewed murder in a small town for a second season.

You started watching that the first I didn't finish off the season. It was okay. You're neck, you episodes of who wish I had the ability of Dom to just cut bait on a show.

I would have, I would have stopped watching Ozark and like the second season. You're next two weeks of SNL this Saturday night will be Dave Chappelle and the Glow Rilla. Okay.

And next week, January 25th will be Timothy Schallamey and Timothy Schallamey. Man, that's going to be interesting. Do they get the Adam Sandler return because of the golden globes for that?

I don't know. We'll see. Also, they did announce that is the SNL 50 documentary will be a four-partner on peacock.

Is that all? Because I feel like every one of those four parts would probably have to be about two hours. I don't know if I'm more excited for that or for the Quest Love documentary about the music performances.

I think you'd be more excited for the show just because there's more to it. Whereas you are very knowledgeable about music, so I don't know that you would really get that much. All I know is they'd better interview Elvis Costello.

Absolutely. Because that story is amazing. That was SNL as SNL.

It's about the most SNL thing they could have done. Netflix has paid seven figures to adapt Anna Hong's twisted book series. Now, I talked to friend of the show Ashley.

She has told me about this. She said, it's wrong. She, so get ready.

But she said the books are very, very popular and Netflix cut the check. And season five of you will debut April the 24th. Speaking of that show, coming up this weekend, I will be a new Bronbles Texas for Retromania, where I'll be doing some what they call Q and A's.

And one of them will be, oh, I just lost it with Christopher Sean, who is on that show. And we would be remiss if we didn't say the arguably, you fan one. I believe it's Charlotte.

Oh, I want to make sure I tell her. I want to say that that is an accurate statement because if I remember correctly, you know, we always have those recommendations like us telling Don to watch Ted Lasso or various different things. I want to say Charlotte followed me around for like 40 minutes being like, no, you don't understand how good it is.

Okay, watch Don't hurt me. I will check with myself. When we have the free Apple weekend, I got a couple of the Ted Lasso's in.

And what did they do? Yeah, but there there are, you know, it was so many episodes. There's like, what, 36 episodes or something like that.

I don't believe you think that. Yeah. Did you enjoy it?

Yeah, I did. I did. I don't know if it's worth the subscription there.

Yeah, I don't know if you're right. Yeah, we'll find out. I'll explain I both have the blue race.

So yeah, nothing new on TV and DVD on blue race this week. Okay. We do have a quick music note that dropped today.

Oh, really? I don't know if you boys heard about this. I don't know any music news right now.

It comes from sphere. Oh, no. Coming up in May for 12 shows, Kenny Chesney will be the first country artist to have a residency there.

I don't dislike Kenny Chesney. I'm okay with that. And what, he does the whole beach vibe thing.

Yes, and I very much feels like home. And I think that's going to look cool in sphere. Because it's not dust sphere.

It's sphere. So saw that today. We have got RIPs and almost every segment tonight because also passing away earlier today at the age of 78 as we get into movie talk was one David Lynch.

This is the man responsible for twin peaks. This is the man who did a little bit mole Holland drive. Those of you that are younger might remember him as the bartender on the Cleveland show.

Hello Cleveland. I'm glad you're here today. I just thought it was somebody with the same name.

Yep. Oh, my team learned it on. Yeah, it was.

It really was. No, my favorite one for that one. And obviously, not trying to make light of it because the dude as Rob would be one to say had skins in the game or skins on the.

It was just along the lines of a relatively similar aged gentleman to me, basically saying, oh, man, tough day for all the girls. I pretended to understand David Lynch's film to impress. Kyle McLaughlin had a very wonderful post about him today.

I would expect nothing less. All right, gentlemen, let's get into stuff we watch this week. Movie The only movie I watched.

We'll talk about here in a minute. I was TV intensive this week, Don. Same thing.

We're getting a movie talk on this. All right, not a lot of movie. We are in kind of that weird zone before stuff really picks up in the early January.

Just a couple of headlines this week in movie news. Apparently there are plans for three more than a few films. I am good with it.

I haven't seen the second one yet, but after that first one, it just gives them the money. I know they were number one at the box office in Oshay Jackson is always very open about his appreciation of it. And speaking of sequels, make sure you get a hold of Matt and A heroes this week as Elizabeth Craig and I talk about lethal weapon too.

And it was a we had a blast. I'm actually going to be back on there. My, my 4K has not shown up for the next movie yet.

It's stuck somewhere and I don't know where it's. It's stuck somewhere in Capelle. It's been there for two days.

The distribution center. That's where that's Capelle. So we have new screen seven casting.

I don't know if you guys saw this today. I did. We are an eagle.

We are about to meet Sidney Prescott's husband Mark, who will be played by the great and on my bucket list to interview Joel McHale. I want to know what they're going to do with that though. Because like is there any way you cast Joel McHale and not kill him?

I just, I just, I love that analogy. I just, I just, I'm just not here. Can you post Magnificos in my head?

I, I hate you so much right now. Oh. Fail and you do the show.

That man is, there was never a bad host of the soup. But dear God, I could do a different level. I feel like he was the first one that truly embraced it beyond it, just being a stepping stone.

I feel like everybody else had their foot out the door. I mean, you look at the lineup. I mean, like just between how and Chris, you were, you already had guys that were doing other things.

Right. But you had great canier. Yeah.

I issue Tyler. You had Hal Sparks who would go into a lot of a claim with the L word. You had John Henson who went to a very successful writing career.

And then Joel McHale and it was just like, I will remember Chris Hardwick did it for a minute. Now he did, um, he did tech soup. Well, I don't know.

He, he did talk soup as well. I believe he might have been like the substitute. I remember vividly seeing him do the regular because you had tech soup and then you had sport soup with mad eyesmen, um, on versus, which I also very much enjoyed.

But I just remember on tech soup. They he had Allison Breon and he said something. She's like, I'm going to tell Joel.

He's like, no. In the other news that makes me feel old. Sophia Coppola's the version suicides turns 25 this year and there will be special screenings with cursed and dunce.

Oh, wow. It's announced today. So check your local listings for selected cities and it would have been used to say, I pray your city has been selected.

Movie new releases in places you get movie new releases this week. I actually today for me because I saw unstoppable it's good. You know, I refuse.

I know, but it's a good flick. And, you know, Coca-Cola, the Crete High School alumnus Bobby can't have allies in it. I have to like Bobby and Eddie a warm win.

Also, the wolf man, which I almost went Chris Tucker on that wolf, man. Uh, hearing some very mixed reviews on that. I have not heard anything positive yet.

I have literally heard the word Schlok more than I cared I mentioned, but also not necessarily always a bad thing. But no, it's for that, but it was already filmed at our speed, you know, never, but yeah, I, if I should have gone by, but we're gone, but I'm going to come this down. But non-com movie this week.

Oh, you're Lord. Oh, that's a smart smart. I got to ask you.

Yeah. And I don't know that you'll know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Okay.

Go ahead. Hyrule of this film. Yeah.

One of them days did they play the Monica song. Just one of them days when I want to be a long, they play that at all. No, I don't remember it.

I don't remember it. It's marketing opportunity. Okay.

It's a great song. Okay. It is.

It is. It's a no. They possibly could have, but I was going to get you 90 seven checking in.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, you might, if it kind of reminded me of Friday too much.

Yeah. Isn't that in your written review currently located at www dot the clubhousepodcast.com. That's our website.

Also this week, I actually need to pull up. There's one that I'm going to get to. I'm going to come back to because I put it on there just because it sounded weird.

And then I looked up what it was. And I was like, um, now I kind of want to see this. We have a movie this week called, and this is not the one I'm talking about.

It's called wish you were here. A woman searching for a spark finds a whirlwind night of romance with a man. Only to discover he's terminally ill and commits to helping him spend the last days of living his life to the fullest.

This was co-written and directed by Julia Styles. Really? How about that?

Is there a list? Could be. And is it Julia Styles or is it Erica?

Was that a girl that looked just like her to Erica Christensen? Oh, man. I know exactly what you're talking about.

I don't know that I ever knew her name. I just, I remember it was Julia Styles and not Julia Styles. That was how I knew it though.

I think her name was Erica Christensen. We also have Autumn in the Black Jaguar this week. After years in New York City, 14 year old Autumn returns to the Amazon rainforest to save her childhood village and beloved Jaguar friend Emily, but records isn't this.

Arrow shout out. We also have, okay, for the ultimate in irony, it appears that one of them days is not on the soundtrack to one of them days. Though in the vein of Dawn's reference, check yourself by ice cube is, just so before you wreck it's no, I'm bad for you health.

I come like stealth. That's right. I love that song.

We also have and the bread winner is. This is a foreign film by the looks of things. A film that focuses on a bread winner and her family, which serves as a tribute to the unsung heroes who carry the weight of their loved ones and dreams on their shoulders.

But now let's go back. Do not look this up gentlemen. Oh, I'm not.

I'm going to tell you the name of this and you're going to play the guessing game and you're going to go, I'm sorry. What? Okay.

It is called grand theft hamlet. Huh? I did already know about this.

Smuggling, struggling actors Sam and Mark find solace from lockdown isolation by staging hamlet in grand theft auto online. Oh, I didn't know about this. I need this in my life.

I know it's the wrong game, but they're better be a Lee Roy Jenkins mentioned. Oh, I saw this and I'm like, he thinks that tough protests too much. Lee Roy.

I need this in my life. I have to seek this out. Is it actually in theaters?

Or is it just dropping? It's not. Yeah.

It's called release to my knowledge. Okay. That is that is getting you now.

I am not waiting. The in-depth says in theaters. Let me see if I can find showtimes nearest.

That's what I'm doing now. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry. And great vine mills have it. And it's it's 89 minutes.

So it's a quick and out. This I may go on the holiday and watch this. Use one of my alists.

Because Monday's the holiday. Interestingly enough, started in the UK original release date December 6th and just caught fire apparently over there. I can't I need this in my life.

Okay, movies on DVD and Blue Roy this week, venom the last dance. If you're feeling that's saucy, the substance. When a Don's favorite films from this past year hits DVD and Blue Roy on Tuesday, I'm sorry.

That can't be right. Oh my god. Grand theft Hamlet has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Let's go. Oh my god. This is my Jay.

Oh, it's only five reviews. That's not just like five reviews. 45 reviews.

It's a 96% on Monday. There's only one showing. It's Don Breyer and one showing a great vine mills.

And I did have no idea about my availability because I don't know that we're off of smile too. Well, they're both in the evening. Okay.

Still Breyer 640, great vine mill 720. Smile too, which I read the Wikipedia page on this because I was curious. Don didn't necessarily enjoy it.

But I felt like the ending kind of sticks the landing. You had made mention of that. Sean liked it a lot.

So you got the hand. He's on on that. You know, also available this coming Tuesday here.

The Tom Hanks Robin Wright experimental film. See it if you're bored. The return, which I was really bummed.

We didn't get to green. This is with Charlie Plummer. This is also Ray Fines and Julia Penosha in this.

Oh, yes. Actually, that's available on Prime Video. I'm really interested in this one.

Yes, from the time of trailer. I'm seeing footage from it now. But I've heard about it.

I'm very interested that I'll wait till I can watch it. The trailer looks legit. It is the final piece of the Odyssey that most people do not acknowledge and Ray Fines, the dude can do no wrong.

Arrow video does the Jennifer Lopez vehicle the cell this week and criteria and collection releases the grifters, which is a film I may need to revisit because I may not have had enough life experience to appreciate it the first time I saw in the early 90s. Okay, I may have to revisit that. And that vetting John Cusack and Jelika Houston.

A couple of quick tech talk things. First of all, we'll see what happens on Sunday with TikTok also. Well, there's already been reports about a two to three months delay.

Chinese version kind of red box where people are ready to go. Yeah, for that one. I'm not doing all that.

But it has announced that the switch two is coming later this year with a more powerful processor in it. Don't know how I feel about that. Yeah, I think we need to get, you know what we need to do when we get closer.

We need to get Steven Zimmerman on the show so he can talk about it. Yeah. And now this.

We can get to it last week, but we're dog on going to get to it this week. The cheat podcast is your one stop shop for all things professional wrestling. MLW has announced this week that fight land will be in our fair bird at the Nitex Sports Center on September the 13th.

Did you see what they said that they pulled for Kings of Coliseum in Nitex? I did not. Okay, I want to do this site unseen.

Rob, how many people do you think Nitex sits in its set up for MLW? Paul Park, 750. They claimed to have had a crowd of 2400 plus.

I like to see the paper work on it. I don't like to see where they were sitting. Where's the Nitex?

The Nitex Sports Ranchland Hills. It's it's way, well actually it might not be too far for you, Don. Why don't that area be walking?

You smell the hockey. That is very accurate. Shockwave was a thing.

I got my old school NWA T shirt. I was very excited about this. At the O.C.

theater in in forney, gorgeous facility, perfect for the NWA. It really reminded me of a modernized version of the 80s set up for world championship wrestling. Now, would you care to elaborate on like what I was telling you about when I went for the crocket cup?

How I was like, this is a small venue, but it is perfectly laid out. You can fill it very easily. The technology that runs through the rafters with the lighting and everything plays perfectly for smaller shows.

And there's plenty of space. I can tell you right now, though, those first row seats were about two feet further back than they were for the crocket cup. Well, and first of all, shout out to you guys for that for that present that was awesome.

Yeah. Well, but you know, you're a package. I don't steal credit.

I will tell you this, Don. You were seeing a front row. There was no railing.

Really? No railing and no padding on the outside. And there are exactly two sets of water.

Yeah. Sign guy were there. No padding.

So they fall in the smith or didn't there were highs. Well, it's not cement. But you just lost your microphone out.

But no, I mean, there's no padding. It was straight to the floor and there were highs. We got you.

You're back. You're back. Good, good, good.

But it is, it is a raised flooring where they run a lot of, like, have you ever seen a performance center where they have like the weird squares on top of the floor. But that's because they're running cables and everything underneath. Yeah.

That's the kind of flooring they have. And it's, and I want you to think of the wiring theater and shrink it by about two thirds. The main one more than where we've watched the the Christmas thing.

Yep. So about 30 that size. Yep.

Basically the size is just the stage. Pretty much. Yeah.

That's a good call. Okay. Oh, they went about two and a half hours.

And there was, no, there was like maybe two promos. It was match match match match match match match match. So they were probably taping the promos out in the hallway.

Oh, and even though in ring promo that we got from wrestling perspective was merely saying, like, hey, we know this was advertised. But we're pivoting to this because reasons. And got to see a ring of a reality of wrestling tag team, the money birds who were kind of shocked when I was like, oh, it's the money birds.

Yeah. I don't think they were expecting. They were so amazing.

You were their favorite person. It was no, has a huge big fan of them. They were great.

Great work. Yeah. And they as of last Sunday, I don't know how far behind we are right now.

But at that point, they were the reality of wrestling women's tag team champions. So they do a lot of great work going on. I did hear a couple of spots.

Oh, yeah. Because of where I, because of where I was facing, I was not at hard cam, which was a little strange. And they, and it airs on X Twitter.

I'm saving the hammer for when it actually, which hammer, the one we're waiting on video evidence of from the man that we saw pictures of from Bucky's. Yes. Yeah.

All I know is if it's on video, it is getting freeze framed and we are plastering it everywhere. I have been told my shoes were wet because a certain item did not arrive at my house soon enough. Oh, dear.

It was the great spoilers. It was a great time. We had a blast shout out to everybody involved.

You know, the only thing missing from there, which I don't think would ever happen because it is part of a campus and they have small restaurants that are open inside like, I guess mall style would be the best way. It's like a nice restaurant just somewhere on that those grounds. You know, I'm going to say, not even a nice restaurant, just like a chili or something in the where you could grab a bite to eat, then go to the show.

And I sent Donna picture and he never responded. You didn't know who that was. Wait.

Okay, pause. Pause. Who was the picture of without saying the name?

When I went to the bathroom. Oh, you mean the stunt double. I sent that picture to you for a specific reason.

Tom. I see guy with a beard at the bottom. I'm ashamed of you right now.

Okay, the guy on the right is wrecking ball in the gursky. That's got me in the head or a ski. Yeah.

Yeah, we're talking about pause. Pause. Pause.

Do you know my hero? I was going to say who's your favorite money in the bank winner of all time. Yes.

Aaron Steven. What was he like? He was really some kid.

Why? Where was it? Because they were just walking around in the lobby.

Yeah. So you can walk around me. But there was a little kid.

I was like he's here first and the kid shakes his hand and goes, I'm not a fan of you. He goes, please keep your passion because it keeps me employed. That dude gets it.

And he was really, really nice. There was two moments. He absolutely popped me.

One was during the main event. Spoiler. Well, but he was outside the ring.

And when you know, because everybody knows sign guy Rick, you know Rick is or you're just not involved. So he's drawing back and forth. And at one point the action's going on.

And Aaron gets real close in his face. And like is pointing like he's being mean. And he's just having a conversation with Rick.

And it's like the most casual thing of like, hey, are you going to Genesis? Yeah. What about raw?

Are you really? But then there was the other time where the main event ends and he's leaving. And I'm just standing in front of him and I just look at him and go, but I wanted you for a champion and he goes, I know, sit out.

Well, he was like, hold up behind the scene. He has, okay, that that is the second time I've had been fortunate enough to interact with him on short. That dude is cool as can be.

Like, he is one of my favorite people I have interacted with at a wrestling event. And we also got the C-Don travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, who threatened to be sure that is my favorite bunch of new. He comes back or something.

There's an event. Let me know. Hold on a second.

He, you're talking about Aaron Stevens. Yes. Yeah.

Okay. Cool. Yeah.

No, you're, you'll know. Whenever NWA comes in, he's one of their big guys because he helps with, well, he has a mind for the business. He understands the business.

Probably as well as anybody in that company. So he is very primary front and center whenever they are anywhere. Okay.

Here. Who else we saw? Travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel, travel.

E. C. Three.

Oh, really? And he's, he's with our dog. He'll move to me.

He's going to know for Alex and he'll move to me. Well, no, but the thing is he didn't see it. I didn't have my hand up.

He was just after he pulled back. He was really cocky with himself. So I just punched his fist real quick.

And yeah, I met him that one time at Sam a verse. He was really nice. He seems like that.

But his champion for, because what NWA has done is they have basically done satellites of what their performers, like their home territories or the territories they own, they include them. And he had lackeys from Exodus Pro, which is the one he has. But his champion, how big did they list that dude at?

Because he's like six, seven, six, ten if he would include the hair. And he's a big dude and can move. That belt was dope.

Yeah, it was. I want that belt actually. Go ahead.

But fist bumping him, he had the champion come back and threaten me that I'm lucky. He didn't have him kill me. I'm like, okay, killer settled down.

TNA news, Masha slam a bitch, Ash by elegance, Nick Nemeth and John Skyler of the Good Hands of all sign new deals. Genesis will be in our fair burg on Sunday night. Expect an NXT presence after the big announcement today that they will be crossing over a lot more.

Moose is scheduled to unveil a new exhibition belt. Oh, nice. Pack last week.

He said that that's not worthy of him. Yeah, $25 general admission is still available, as well as select floor seats, but you better bring your checkbook because they are 600. Woo!

What? Well, to clarify, the ones that are available are 600. Yeah, I know.

But they are the keep the seats. You get a taco bar with Nick Nemeth and the hearties and. Ah, go.

So what do you think Ash by elegance? Well, I'm the first you get some belt. I don't get it.

You're going to happen. I honestly don't think it's going to happen. Now that they have the returning that they love for God knows why.

No, my God, I just realized something. Well, what about Grace? How long is she in now?

What's her life match with them, Dawn? That's what I thought. This is her last match under contract with that.

Right. Yeah. To clarify, like we said with the deal.

Yeah. Rob, do you realize you got a step closer to something you wanted? What's that?

With that deal? What's that? The four horse women proper?

Oh, yeah. Woo. Yeah.

Let's see here. And if you saw my reaction to Tom Latimer, I'm going to say the name. You saw my reaction to Tom Latimer, expected that exact same thing for her.

Uh, another RIP black heart passed away while we were, we didn't get to talk about it last week. It's 76. Legend.

Legend. The number of Texas individuals that he took up against her into business. What's what?

Heart black part. Black part. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. It is now in like world class championship. I mean, yeah, he was a, he was a worker.

Yep. It is now 2026 Royal Rumble will be in Saudi. Not a nice Rumble.

The actual Rumble. I know. But remember the other thing that we've talked about for the last few weeks on this.

What time are they starting? Hi, noon. But what I'm saying is they, they may be announcement that they're not going to adjust to the programming.

So what time? I, what, allow me to rephrase my question, Don. I apologize.

Yeah. What time are they starting in Saudi? And then that means what time is the real Rumble next year going to be on?

I don't know Netflix, peacock. Well, I, I think it'll still be on peacock, because I think that deal goes through the end of next year. But the point I'm getting at is they've said that they're no longer going to delay international stuff.

So I don't know, because, you know, I'm going to do a quick Google like what time, because the Rumble this year starts at 6 a, or 6 6 p.m. Easter. So I'm, I'm going to look like 6 p.m.

That's going to be a lot of time here. Yeah, you're going to be a lot of time. One am.

No, they still do it in prime time, Don. That's why it's noon here. Yeah.

That's from saying these. He's talking to delay. What time?

We'll see. That's what I'm saying. Okay.

So if they start at 6 p.m. in Saudi, it would be 9 a.m. here.

Yeah. In plus with the daylight savings at that time, too, because they don't observe that. So, you know what we're going to have to do?

Math. And this, I'm, I'm just going to do a little tease. If we keep our normal partnerships, we're going to have to do some rumble and bacon.

Speaking of which, February 1st, WWE Royal Rumble. X Golf Frisco. Be there.

We're going to be, we're going to go back this year. We'll be doing the show live. We're going to have some very special guests in the house.

Mm-hmm. I'm very excited about that. Uh, our normal rumble party come on out.

You'll be a place in golf, watch the rumble, all the general chicanery that comes with this show. It's going to be awesome. And they're also celebrating their one-year anniversary that day.

Right, can. We're going to have something to open that day, too. Something just came in.

Good. That's good news. A little freaked.

Well, see, that would have been more fun to surprise. But I dig it. Yeah.

Uh, the first one we've had in a while, too. Also. Well, no, we did two at the thing at the, uh, the, because it's every three months, we got the last one in when we did that at Rob's house.

Right. But what I'm, what I'm saying is that was a while ago. Yeah.

Uh, speaking of WWE in places to watch, also Cosm will be hosting WWE, please going forward. If you don't know what Cosm is, there is one right at the street from my house. There's another one in California, although they may not be reopened for the rumble because of everything going on in LA.

They're advertising being open, but don't be surprised if there is a pivot. And that is Cosm COSM. This is, do we mention we may have a boots on the ground report from there?

Uh, it's very possible. It's kind of kind of like sphere for a sports bar. And it's amazing.

So have you been yet? I've just seen pictures. Okay.

I'm still finding, I'm still waiting for that one that justifies it, where there's tickets. I want available and something I want to watch. Yeah.

Uh, and they are partnering up with WWE going forward to. They have already said they will be carrying a limousine chamber and both night of Mania, which is also, and at least the chamber may have to happen, which is also the weekend of 420 and Easter weekend. And I will be there.

What? You'll be in town. Well, there's been some discussions.

Let's leave it at that. I'm just saying we know you'll be in town. The, the, the known is that you will be in town.

And possibly with a, a shoot, a black eye if it goes wrong. Uh, let's see here. Candice Loray, still your women's speed champion.

Kay, she got that. I was lost for there. And last weekend, all three women's belts changed hands in less than four days.

Not pretty awesome. All three primary belts. All three of primary.

Yeah. I'm, I just want to, for those that are going to be like, filling him, he's didn't change. Yeah, we know.

And there was no tag with us. Yes. Uh, Saturday night's main event has been announced the next one after the next Saturday in San Antonio, May 24th, which will be Memorial Day weekend.

And did you see the one after that? Yes, I did. But I.

Okay. 12. My response was the funniest thing they could do would be try to run the American Airlines Center.

Because it's going to go head to head with all in. Yep. Yeah.

Yep, directly head to head done. And they're doing them once a quarter. So we've got one to announce.

If you have the Roku channel, get ready on Tuesday for a four episode series called What drives you? This will combine two of its hosts favorite things of cars and connecting people. The four episodes respectively will feature Logan Paul, jelly roll, who is touring with Post Malone on a stadium tour this summer.

Travis Barker and the Miz. And it will be hosted by John Cena, smack down, smack down allegedly going back to two hours in June. Oh, please, thank you.

We want to say shout out to Nadie who celebrates 18 years with the company a couple of weeks ago. Mm-hmm. And it's very happy.

Apparently Kyrie Sane is actually out with an arm injury, which is why she stayed back on Monday night. And why they did the angle removing her from the tournament. Sheamus has reaped for five years.

I believe he has a hybrid deal, though, because it's not necessarily as a purely in-ring talent. He will be doing other things because as we know, that's H's boy. All right.

Let's talk about the grand experiment that we've now had two episodes of because we didn't talk about it last week because we were in worse stuff. Netflix is officially carrying raw. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to break this down of my thoughts from the first episode and then my thoughts for the second episode.

So basically what I did is what I've always done with raw. I ended up starting a little bit later than I wanted to because I was watching something. So I ended up starting at 810 Central, which is an hour and 10 minutes into what we believe to be a three-hour show hours.

And for the counterpoint on that, I waited until the show had passed and watched on Netflix when it was available. Now, even starting it on delay, it did not give me the option to go live or start from the beginning. It just went straight to the beginning, which I wanted it to because I'm good with it.

I said this on the show last week that into it dome is amazing. Fantastic work, Steve Bomber, nothing but respect for that. They believed the Rock's F-bomb democracy, but not the BS at the start of the promo.

Well, as we know, the South Park rule. Yes. Rock's first words were 14 minutes in.

But I will say that the opening was cool with the canvas, that was dope. And if that's not hanging up at headquarters, there's something wrong. I was able to fast forward commercials, put a pin in it, but I was able to fast forward commercials in a week one and the breaks averaged about two minutes and 30 seconds.

So it's about normal. Seeing a did say that his last match would be in December. So we're going to have a full year and they had the limited edition Funko pop for LA and all the things.

Did you notice we got across the nation at one point? I didn't get that. Yeah, they painted across the, I don't know how nice any of the other themes.

But all of a sudden, I was just listening and I was like, I'm in my head, I was like, wait a minute, just get it on. I was like, let's go. Yeah, but across the nation, I think was the best intro or the best music.

When did they play that in that show? It was about halfway through. They played it in the arena.

I mean, during the show, what was going on? I slept since then. It was about halfway through the show.

Okay. But I do know that they did it. It would have been after the scene of promo because these are all in order.

Okay. Oh. Take her was weird.

No problem with take her showing up, but it felt wrong. Like I like that. I like that mommy didn't know.

Because she said afterwards had no idea. He was even there. And they they played it really well.

And Alex and I both said we really thought she was going to get on the back of the motorcycle. Oh, God. I'm so glad she did.

Uh, the hoax and promo was what it was. Let's keep it moving. You mean the move fast?

The drone work. Well, fantastic. They really, that's some of the best drone work I've seen period.

I have a note on that one. And I don't know how risky it is, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they either got former gamers for those drone shots or ex-military that are familiar with that kind of equipment. It was absolutely fantastic work.

And I understand what it was, but just remember you're going to need more than four matches going forward. And also the face vest feels weird, but we know why. Yeah.

Uh, week two, this is where it got interesting. First of all shout out to Lyra Valqueria, your first women's intercontinental champion, bird. Yeah.

Huh, she's the bird lady. She's Lyra Valqueria, but she, the her just is the bird character. So I was watching our one.

And I noticed that the only commercials I was getting were WWE promo at. So my first thought was, okay, so maybe they're just doing this for our one kind of hyping people up. And then I got into our two.

And it kept going. So I got to about the one hour, 20 minute mark because I would see them like it would go black and then the coverage would come back. So I was wondering if I was getting like, like, they do for the international feed.

So instead of commercials, I was getting what was going on in the arena because I have the premium plan. The interviews and whatnot that we've heard about. Yeah.

Oh, no. It was skipping for me. I pulled up my status bars.

They were going to break and I watched it move three night. I was like, well played Netflix. Because they don't have to worry about that ad revenue.

No, you're already subscribing. Yep. And as I was watching, I got to the point where I was about a half an hour behind.

So my top of the top of the third start of the third hour. I looked at my clock and it was 932 and I got that little banner on my screen that said, live event has ended. And I was like, I'm sorry.

What? And dog gone if it didn't end at the two and a half hour mark. And ended like it was supposed to.

It wasn't like the feed cut off. So apparently going forward and don't I don't know if you read this. Two and a half hours is going to be the sweet spot for raw.

Sometimes it will go shorter, sometimes it'll go longer. But apparently they're saying that that two and a half hours is about where they want to hang because they're doing a lot more dark matches now, especially after they go off the air. Well, they're filming speed and everything as well while they have the full house.

But the counterpoint to waiting and seeing when it's available after the show ends is almost instantly. Yeah. Like it's it's very minimal.

And if you started after the program has ended, it already does the skipping of commercials for you as well. There you go. I was checking on it to look and I was like, okay, 48 minutes, 37 seconds.

And 51, 22. Cool. Let's go.

So if you have the premium Netflix package, you're in good shape. Yeah. I mean, how cool is that though that it just skipped the commercials for us.

Yeah, I dig that a lot. I am a big proponent. I was a big fan of the Hulu 90 minute cut.

I'm totally good with getting everything without having a mess around, especially when now I'm wondering what would happen if you watched it live. Would you get just promos or would you actually get the commercials? So you're saying starting from seven.

Uh-huh. I will do that this week. All right.

And of course, we booming. I am home. Yeah.

And we did have the appearance of one Penta, um, I did like, did you see the post from Chad Gable after the match? Chad Gable just gets it where he said he feels alive right now. I've never seen somebody sell a destroyer that well.

And like, I feel like Chad Gable got done with that match and was like, I can't tell you the last time I had an opponent that matched up with me this well. And the promo, like, you know me, I am one of the primary Penta fans I have been forever. I honestly was shocked by the promo.

Yeah. Like, I was real happy to see his family ringside and his daughter being emotionally happy. But when he cut that promo, I had to jump on social because I was like, uh, internally, I was like, I don't know what AEW was doing, not letting this guy get on the mic.

But I wanted to give Mike Manalex, uh, Abrahontis is his dude because I'm willing to bet he helped a lot before that happened. And there was allegedly some disappointment or anger, but that has since been, yeah, debunked or dismissed. I'm not sure which was the correct term.

I think. So what do you, what do you think they're getting in front with? They've never happened yet.

Do you think in any students is getting buried again? Like, a lot of people. I hope you're not, I've just, I don't think so.

You think so. I allow, allow me to put it in this context for you, Dawn. Yeah.

They have been looking for their next big Hispanic star. Yeah, next new regular stereo to take you home. I wasn't even going to go with a regular stereo because it was Eddie before that and Tito well before that.

But what I'm saying is that that Mexican draw, and they thought they had it with Santos who's really good, but the way that building shook when Penta hit. Oh, yes, that's their guy. And especially the fact that he cut a promo in English, which as a Penta fan for years, I didn't know he could do.

And speaking of Eddie, as of today, I have verified everything is intact for the rumble. Nice. So we're good there.

We call that a tease. Dawn, you know what it is. You're just not realizing it.

Yeah. I think Eddie Guerrero think the rumble. Thank you.

Rick Claire. Do we do when we do the rumble? Tell me.

Oh, it'll be easy. Don't worry about it. Rob will just tell him after.

Coming up. NXT has said vengeance day will be February the 15th at the entertainment and sports arena in Washington, DC. We are monitoring the choreographed situation so we'll just keep it moving.

But I'm starting to believe that it is a shoot situation and he's about to be their TNA guy. Yeah. Booker said shots he was on tough enough in 2015 and I didn't remember that.

I believe it was under her real name and without the green hair. But I could be wrong. And his default is now.

This isn't level up because he said it like 140 times on Tuesday. Well, he gets it's caught on a loop. Booker T is essentially on the Mike a broken record.

Uh, come on, something whether it's what or yeah, or something and it'll just beat it to death. Ring of honors. So me, the guy has officially retired.

Well deserved. So me is an absolute legend, just not so much on this side of the pond, but she should have been because she was a long time ROH women's champion as well. And first, ring of honor with.

Speaking of the graves, Camille, whatever happened his wife, she ever came to come back or she retired. She was popping out kids. Yes, she's she's when she's doing I think she looks great.

I mean, she looks like she's a japan. I think that's a personal choice by her. Uh, the Von Erics have signed officially with AEW.

They have a new podcast as well. So check that out. Uh, I wanted to text you so bad today.

Alex, but I didn't want to have you watch dynamite yet. I caught bits and pieces. I did not watch, but you should have texted me just because I, I'm, I'm the dawn right now.

We didn't come to the AEW. I have not watched enough. I don't have you watched dynamite yet.

No, I did not. The Jericho promo. There's going to be a 12 man tag coming up.

Oh, come on. And as soon as Jericho finished naming all 12, Brian Keith goes, that's a dozen mother. And I lost it.

I was so close and the look on Jericho's face. I lost my mind. I was like, and that was the, and he said it and he just sold the hell out of it.

And Jericho just turns it looks at him and he never breaks the look in the camera. I was like, I want to know if any, if he just, if he went rogue, I had lived that, that was hilarious. Because he always was smart dude.

No back in watch it because he almost has a look at his face. Like, yep, I just did that. Like proud of himself.

Oh, they had to stand before holding out them, right? Basically. No, I think they only bleep the last two last two syllables.

But yeah, that is the same spot that I was just like, well, I hope there's an unsencered version on notes. I really do. How are you?

If Jericho didn't know, he sold the hell out of it. It was just like everything just kind of stopped. It was like the record scratch moment.

Oh, I popped. I popped big time. More for that or the way.

Enter Joe. Enter Joe. I'm so happy.

Joe's back. I'm so happy. And apparently this Megan Bain has been under contract for almost a year with AEW.

That was in the casino gauntlet. And she was great. So I'm looking forward to seeing what to do with her.

Anything else you always want to talk about? At this point when it comes to wrestling, it's just let's get to the rumble because wrestling Christmas. Excawl Frisco be there.

So here's the thing. The, I don't know if there's been an update because we haven't everything last time. But the like people used for AEW have they announced yet.

Only thing we know currently is that grand slam will be on max. Okay. And it will air at 8 p.m.

Eastern. So they're going to, it's going to be breakfast time in Australia. But it will, it will not be an actual paper view.

It's because the Saturday not, it's a Saturday evening show. So be Sunday morning out there. That is great.

Okay. Pass that. I haven't heard anything about revolution.

I know tickets are on sale. But they have not said anything about where it's going to be shown. They have it's kind of like when Tyson had that fight in Tokyo, it was like not in the morning to make prime time here.

But they have all of those said that all in the buster Douglas fight. Yeah. Now I thought that was the first one he lost.

That is buster Douglas. Nothing else. But they have said that all in will also be on max.

We'll not be a paper view. Oh, really. Yes.

So I've got some little surprising. Okay. Oh.

And well, with Saturday night's main event, you know, you probably don't want that to be a paper view because you want to compete. Well, I also wonder how much we talked about it before. How much they're threading the needle on what's going to be paper view and what's going to become what we know is a premium live event with the max deal.

And we're probably about four weeks away from John Oliver. From the return of John Oliver. Oh, I'm sure I didn't get a chance to ask you guys real quick.

Did you see edges, copes, new shirt. Proud. The legend shirt.

Oh, yeah. I wanted to get your opinion on that. I like it.

I like his new stuff. I feel like that's really crap. Honestly, you know, if I had the opportunity when I would buy it.

Oh, this day. Okay. I can't see clearly.

But, John, did you see the shirt yet? I think I did a five side. So instead of it saying legend spelled correctly.

It's L edge. And oh, wow. I think you filed a copyright for that.

Oh, he received it. Yeah. Yeah.

But what I'm saying is it's still, it's one of those, it's that gray area of we have bashed the company. WWE multiple times for changing people's names that we know. And then there's that cold trademark deal.

And it's like, I don't know how to deal with this. I would venture to say he talked to, he talked to H about it. I would be surprised.
