This Episode Could Be A First!

S It's 7 o'clock on the east coast, it is 4 o'clock on 5 o'clock on the west coast. It is the 29th of February in the year 2024. I had to say that and think about it there for a minute.

655 times you have been welcome to the clubhouse podcast season 14 episode 20. Welcome. We're very glad that you're with us.

My name is Rob. I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast. And right now and by myself, Alex is on his way.

Don is out on assignment. We are so glad that you are with us on leap day, which maybe that's why I titled it's over there on my screen. I don't know how it looks on years, but I think this may be the first time we've ever done a show on leap day.

I mean, we've been 14 years. We've only only had like, this is what the third time we've had the opportunity. So Lord only knows.

For those of you joining us for the first time, we are your one-stop shop for all things sports, entertainment, pop culture, and professional wrestling. So we got that going for us, which is nice. I'm not used to it's been a long time since I've done this alone.

I guess it's Alex. I think it's having some technical difficulties. He'll be here in just a few moments.

I'm sure got a lot going on in the world that we cover for you. We don't really go too deep into things unless it's something we feel the need to. Kind of a stick-in-move show.

I've been told before that the show does operate at the speed of light and that's okay. A couple of things want to remind you of. Make sure you're checking out some of our favorite shows.

First of all, Matinee Heroes hosted by friends of the show Craig Price and Alan Cerney that drops every Saturday. They pick a different movie each week and they talk about it. I was on there recently talking about the godfather part two.

All February long, they have been doing a salute to their favorite patreon episodes. That's been a lot of fun. They get the wheels back on this coming Saturday.

Also dropping on Thursdays is the movies that make us or made us. That's by some friends of ours up in Utah. They do a great job as well.

And there he is. All right. We have you now.

Better late than ever. No, it's all right. I've been stalling.

I've been talking about some of the podcasts that we check out. I don't want to go into this without you here. Now he's that way.

He's my co-host and is I'm not used to seeing your blinds open. He is Alex. Well, it's kind of moral on the lines of it has been very stormy on this side of town.

I don't know how it's been for you. It's been kind of spotty out here. None of the animals are fans of it.

So if they can see it, they tend to respond better to it when they come out from under the bed. Did not think of that. Well, play.

Well, I only look this stupid. I never said you were. I never said you did.

Okay. But this is the internet. Somebody thinks we look stupid.

I'm going to say that list might be long and distinguished for me. I don't know if it's distinguished, but it's long. And for those of you that don't know, Alex does live in an area where internet can get spotty, especially when the weather gets bad.

So if there's certain technical closing cons of by a lake. Exactly. So we just want to make sure people that maybe they haven't joined this before.

If there's some wheels that start to get a little jittery, that's going to be why. Let us dive right in. Talk about NBA standings.

Garbage. But you don't have to say it much longer. Really at what two more months.

Actually, let's make it not garbage, even when it's not around. Almost like birthday now. I don't know.

The only thing I don't care about is this scope is I need people to calm down and be like, Oh, give LeBron son a chance. It's like, yeah, what about the other ones that also get there and play accurately described, but don't have a famous father. Please shut up and move on.

I try to just shut out of the chatter. Because it's so it's well, it's that time of year where there's not a whole heck of a lot going on. You're coming out of both all star breaks.

The NFL is done. Major League Baseball. It's preseason in any sport, you know, how I feel about that.

We're really not even worried about college basketball for about another two weeks, maybe. But we have the interesting thing is, is we have that dichotomy. And I'll get into it more when we get to the wrestling side, because I'm sure you have a note that compares.

Maybe, yeah. I don't know. There's just a lot going on.

Let's dive right in. NBA Eastern Conference Atlantic division, the Toronto Raptors. They're not doing well.

I need to exchange rate hiding in a in the championship odds. According to the Yahoo that I found interesting that we'll get to when we get to NHL. There are 24 and a half games back.

They're late for that games back. Then they're win total right now. They are a half game back.

They are a half game back on Brooklyn, Brooklyn. The nets are 11 games back on the six or six. There's now a game and a half back on New York, but Boston, who's one nine in a row is now 11 and a half up on the nicks.

I was going to say, it's only nine in a row. They must have had a day off in there. Well, there's another one we'll talk about when we get to hockey too.

But I mean, you look at you look at yeah, there's a what? They're nine and one in their last 10. So that's why.

Like, Boston is just steamrolling everybody right now, but nothing matters. So in the central division, the Detroit pistons, former champs of basketball, they have nine wins, but they're not the worst team in the NBA. Actually, I think it's tied now, actually, but they're actually five games worst than the other team with the same record as them.

So they got that going for it. They could quadruple their win total and still be like two games. They're 29 games back.

They are 19 and a half back on the bulls. By the way, that's exactly setting the world on fire. Just to put it in perspective, Detroit's won nine more games than me.

So there's that. They, uh, Chicago is five and a half back on the Pacers. The Pacers four and a half back on nila walk.

Hey, the bucks now a half game back on Cleveland, who after delivering the hammer to the Mavericks the other night, they, uh, they lost after that. Actually, it was two nights ago because they lost last night. So in the Milwaukee staying competitive in the southeast division, the Washington and Wizards had the same record as the Detroit pistons, but they're like I said, five games closer to first place because they're 24 out.

They are six back on Charlotte. Charlotte is 11 back on Atlanta Atlanta six and a half back in Orlando. Orlando now a half game back on the heat whoever you take in first place on a five game win streak for those who play in the home game, Washington's lost 12 in a row.

Because of Washington. When is there a winning Washington? Western conference specific division, the Golden State Warriors.

This is the most competitive division in the NBA right now. They are 30 and 27 and in last place. I want to say, traditionally, it is one of the most competitive, too, because it's the owners.

They don't have as much, but they care more. Well, Golden State to first place is only seven games right now. Right.

But what I'm saying is is if it gets Golden State in last is as much as we make fun of the dynasty being over, they're not a bad team. They're just not good. Well, I bet again, you're, they're above, they're above 500 and they're in last place, which tells you what's everything about that division.

Exactly. Because they're only a half game back on the Lakers. Lakers now, two back on Sacra Menos.

Men are now a game back on Fowinix and the sons are three and a half back on the key pairs. So there's that. What do you think about the clippers rebranding?

I, you know, I needed to look, I didn't look that up. I'm going to look that up real quick. So I kind of see where they're going with it.

I dig the idea of trying to simplify, give it its own look or something, but I feel in my opinion, it might be just a little too busy. And I prefer my logos very straightforward, but it's not bad. It's not terrible.

I'm looking at it right now. Are you looking at the clipper logo with the C. Yes.

And the compass inside of it and the cruise ship inside of that. The cruise ship. So it looks like it's called a clipper.

I know. That's why it's the ship, but it looks like a cruise ship. I feel like you need to put it up on screen while we're talking about this so people aren't just wondering, what are we?

And Frank, I saw that. He actually said the same thing on around the horn the other day. And then it goes, okay, I had.

Let me see. Let me move this to a new because it's not that it really isn't that it doesn't look like a cruise ship. I just, I had not heard that before.

Let me, let me go. I can share it now one moment. Please share screen.

Boy, this thing is taking its time today here because that is what we're looking at right now. Okay. Yeah.

That's the one I actually really like. I mean, it's classy. It's a little too busy in the center for me, but I see what they're doing with it.

I just are they going to the players going to come out of the tunnel to hot, hot, hot by by Buster Point Dexter? No, they're going to come out to smooth sailing. Oh, I'm here for that.

You team captain. 19 people know what we're talking about. Now it's Point Water Boy.

Ashley, you're rooming, Dan. And in the Southwest division, the Spurs, well, they're in double digit wins now. So they're better than the pistons and the weasards.

They almost have many hikes. 23 and a half back in that division. And they're 11 back of Memphis.

Memphis now five and a half back of Houston, Houston, Houston. The Rockets are eight and a half back on Dallas, who's now by a half game back on Fly Pelican. In the Northwest division because they're north and west, most of them.

Orland, they're 26 back. They got 15 wins though. They got that going.

I feel like the league is always better when Portland is good. They're nine back on the jazz. The jazz now 13 back on Denver, Denver, a game and a half back on Oklahoma City and the Thunder now a half game back on Minnesota.

Now, probably starting in a couple of weeks, we'll start putting the playoff picture together, because we're just we're getting close, but we're not there yet. And let's be honest, their playoff picture has started to resemble NASCAR. I'm not against it, but holy crap.

What did you see the college football headline today? Which one? 2026.

Now they want to do 14 games. Oh, I've seen that one being discussed with and people are guaranteed to the SEC. Three guaranteed to the big 10.

Two guaranteed to the ACC. Two guaranteed to the pack, however many they're going to be. And then like three at large.

The pack seven, like this, like I love the playoff system, but please don't turn this March back. It's because 12 is the right number. 12 is 100% the right number.

I agree. But there is one problem with it. And we can talk about that more later, unless you want to get into it now.

Well, I've got no other college football headlines. Okay, but we were in the middle of NBA. That's why we just finished in the B.A.

Oh, okay. The one problem I have with this is have you seen who the top four are for that setup who based on what this but what it would have been this year or based on what the rule is allegedly. I know I thought that the top that each one comes from a power conference.

It is a power is the power conference champion of the top four. The top four ranked conference champions. And then a large.

And then yes, but here's where my issue comes in. To use Don Logic since we don't have to worry about getting bogged down today. If there's no conference championship that has one win.

Okay, follow me on this because conferences have difficulty. And you have a team like, and I'm trying to think of something that isn't mid major because that's too far. It's not a liberty, but like a Boisey.

Like Boisey is a quality program. If they're undefeated, they should be getting one of the top four to me. And I'm sure we're going to get into this.

But here's the one that really peaked my interest. Notre Dame is still independent. Yep.

If Notre Dame is undefeated, has literally beaten every other team hypothetically. In the playoffs, they still can be no better than five. Aren't they ACC and everything else?

I believe they are in a majority. They used to be big east in basketball. I wish they would have gone to the big 10 because that just made the most sense to me.

By location, it definitely does. But at the same time, you could argue that they could go to the pack even though they're not in the Pacific side. They do have a lot of rivalries on the West Coast as well because of the Rose Bowl.

Right. But for me, it's Michigan. It's Michigan state.

It's Ohio State. It just makes more sense to me that way. Oh no, it 100% is what they and I have a feeling they're going to wind up caving.

I really believe they're going to wind up caving on there will be some deal for them to join the big 10 but maintain NBC. That's how it's got to work. I think yeah, I think that's really to me that that's the deal you make.

You join a conference. Keep your NBC money because they how many how long have they been with NBC? I don't know.

I haven't been alive that long and I don't know if my dad has either. He's forcing my point. My point being is I'm pretty sure the advent of television matches the timeline.

Yeah. Eastern conference NHL standings. This is where it gets weird for me because I want I want to talk to you because you are our resident expert on all things gambling.

Okay. Now remember, I take all of this from Yahoo sports, which I didn't expect gambling to be in this but now even more on board. You have you have chastised me for on more than one occasion and that's okay.

Chastise you in the Atlantic division. The odor wash senators are currently 29 points back at 57 games. They are plus 25,000 to win the championship.

Stay with me. They are one point behind the Montreal Canadians. Montreal who has one they've got one they're on a one game heater.

Odor was dropped to Montreal is plus 50,000. And they're only one point ahead of them, but Buffalo is four points ahead of them and it's back to 25,000. There's multiple levels to this, but I want you to ask the question as you want it responded to please.

How is it that Montreal is double the odds when they're ahead of Odorwa? In that same scope what you'll look at is many different factors whether it be injuries. Montreal may have just lost a big player that they happen to be ahead.

The other factors that you have in that especially with the NHL because you can't gain points or ground just by sitting there. You have to either win or get into a overtime loss. So there's a chance that they have less games remaining on their schedule or their remaining games are that much tougher.

The big one in that scope is that might have also been a panic move by a book that's like look Montreal has a history of when they're not in it they wind up selling players at the trade deadline so they're trying to hedge their bets before any quality is gone from the roster. So in that same scope they may have more movable or injured pieces to their team that they don't have hopes of coming up whereas a team like Ottawa who has been in the cellar or near it for a few seasons now may have some young talent coming up from like the AHL or something of its ilk that might infuse them with some juice at the end of the year some youthly a fervor or something along those lines but at the same time when you're this low you're pretty much guaranteed they're not getting into the playoffs let alone making a run but that's one of the cool things about the NHL if you're looking at the odds you'll see a clear line probably about two thirds of the way up the standings where that number drops significantly. Well I'm glad you said that's the qualifiers.

Buffalo who is four points ahead of Montreal as at plus 25,000 they are nine points behind the lightning who are 25 hundred plus. So it drops 90% at that point. Yeah so yeah and it's it's just the qualifier of anything that hits the plus and thousands like that they're not expected to make the playoffs for one reason or another once you get to that two thirds of the way because of how deep the NHL playoffs are and the fact that there is a lot of parity in that league which is why it might arguably be the best playoffs structure of any sport not from a functions standpoint because it's not very different than others but from the fact that the NHL runs hot and cold no pun intended that like 18 that is an eight seed in theory could make a deep run but they don't have an eight seed anymore because of their four pods now can I blow your wheels off a little bit on that possibly there is only one team in the eastern conference right now that is less than plus a thousand.

I'm sorry say that one more time you said that if it's if they're in four digits or more they don't expect them to make the playoffs. There is only one team in the entire eastern conference that is less than four digits. Did you mean five perhaps?

No no no I was I was referring into the thousands so anything with three zeros and then numericles would be more often than not that what they're not expecting and I don't say this to correct you and please don't go for it but there are two that are right at the point okay there's one below and there's two that are right at the point so you've got actually there's four that are right at the point because you've got a Tampa Bay is now three back on Detroit Detroit's one six in a row by the way quietly there Detroit now two points back on Toronto Toronto right now at plus 1300 well Detroit also had one of those classic intangible injections of spirit over the last few games I don't know if you saw about this Detroit at plus six thousand so it's not like it's out of the realm but do you know what I'm referring to with Detroit I'm not for sure the cellos infusion they actually retired his jersey even though he was a majority with the black haughts saw something about that maybe I like to tell you why cellos is one of the all-time greats and why hockey is so amazing in that scope it was his retirement ceremony and all he did was pump up the guys on the team saying like there's a number of guys who could be there didn't like him when he played but I respect him now well the question is did you not like him because he was that good he played a little dirty he was a defenseman they're supposed to but as one of my favorite sports quotes of all time as Ty Cobb said bad players don't get booed only the greats truly get let me let me ask you this because I'm very intrigued by this this plus odds thing because you really got you you've got like the I've got like the beautiful mind thing going right now as I'm looking at all these numbers is it bad that I'm picturing Gallifinac is in the hangover now because you wouldn't be the first and you won't be the last I'm talking about for you I'm talking about the numbers that's where I go so as I'm looking at the NHL overall it's of course it's all over the place there's no there's no scale right right would you in given what I told you just a moment ago and again I I I if you took it any kind of way I apologize was not my intent because I can see how you'd be like dude why are you crap out on my parade kind of I didn't okay not necessary I appreciate that you know me that well would it be like would it be safe to say based on those if I look at oh dawns checking in sir I had to throw that one up what's up dawn okay wheel because I'm looking at the numbers in both conferences would if I just gave you a couple of stats based on the odds okay would yeah would that I don't want to use the word force but would that lean you to say one conference is stronger than the other or just or is it that just because that's where it's at today I'd have to say it's just where it's at today but there is definitely a level and allow me to take the explanation from earlier you were talking about auto being better odds to win in the cup despite being lower in the standings it's the same concept of how hard is your road correct but what I'm saying is yes but what I was saying was that Ottawa had better odds to win even though they were lower in the standings yes that is correct yeah so yeah in that same concept it's the parody argument it it's really the parody argument and there is probably more western conference teams that have a genuine shot to get hot and make a run in the playoffs I mean in the eastern conference you might have a handful of teams that you could genuinely make an argument and even that is still three quarters of the teams that are going to make it whereas in the western conference as long as your name isn't the San Jose sharks you probably have a shot and see I like I said this fascinates me because and that's why I want to be many many many many reasons I love that you're my co-host because these kind of things they do they fascinate me and you with the the depth of knowledge that you have in these things even though you know we make our jokes and things of that nature your knowledge of these things makes me enjoy sport that much more it is definitely my rainman nature like for years and years and years I've seen things like this and but it doesn't it doesn't resin it never resonated with me until you and I started hanging out and then you started explaining these things to me it's the way it all works is just fascinating and that's why I will spend you know 10 minutes on this I don't care yeah it's a joke whatever we want it's also interesting compared to sometimes it's not that great all right we we are let's did I finish oh no we were at Detroit two back on Toronto Toronto now eight back on Boston Boston now tied with Florida Florida had right now is eight two and oh in their last ten they're they're holding on this team is playing a lot of really good hockey but I again is there I and there's Russ got Russ good to see a brother to me my favorite play because take the NFL because the NFL is what it is right up the other three the NHL playoffs are my favorite absolutely you can you can just kind of squeeze your way in and all of a sudden just get on a heater there's just something about the NHL and home ice means nothing that's another thing I love about it wow don says Alex is going to put him this oh that's not cool bro yeah but there's also a button it makes that easy because it's getting deleted oh why would you that's not cool in the other division which is the Metropolitan Division thank you sir the Columbus Blue Jackets stay I like I like how we have the spare checking in it to am and I have to cover his stuff like that they'll be back next week yeah he will speak into which I got to call you after the show not even the Metropolitan Division in yes oh I haven't had this much fun at a long time um there's some stuff I gotta talk to you about off air okay so I will be calling you as soon as we're done um column we love you too brother we want to we're so glad you guys I've seen the post that don't and having from over there it looks incredible and we're looking forward to having him back next week so uh then the Metropolitan Division Columbus is worse than Odorwa they're quite Columbus it's of course it's terrible yeah that's right forget about that sometimes but I love that logo it is a good logo I do like that but I love that they played at the horseshoe hmm I these outdoor games I love it I don't care I don't know I absolutely love that because they're picking great venues because when it was here they did it at the cotton bowl Rachel in front of the store Rachel was there did we talk about the the random screens that threw me off when I was watching the outdoor it in Seattle hmm so they've put angled giant boards on either side of the rink okay that are literally just the logo and the number of goals but because it was only seen in quick passes I wasn't sure what was going on and I was like that's really cool because there's no board over the rink for them there's no tron in the middle so that makes perfect sense to let people know in different areas I saw a video on the book of face the other day that was that showed how they they reset the base like put the new logos on underneath the ice and stuff uh Columbus is with a ha ha 14 points back on the islanders who were tied with Don's penguins uh penguins who won three in a row by the way they are both a point behind the capitals capitals are a point back on New Jersey the devils now five back on the flyers the flyers now 13 back on carolina carolina the rangers are running away with this this division right now yeah they are seven points up on the rangers and we only have 22 games to go I did see that Russell said that he went and saw gene Watson last night that's a legend right there we've been getting some crazy shows in this town lately yeah it's Dallas dig it in the western conference central division the Chicago black hawks are still pretty bad they could double their points and still be nine back at first place they have 35 points for those you playing the home game they are uh let's see 16 points back on the coyotes the coyotes now nine back on minnesota minnesota's a point back on st. Louis the blues are five back on Seattle Seattle I'm sorry Nashville why why boy whoo I don't know why why I said Seattle it's in the other conference no we're just in the other division you've got caught on the st. Louis and they fanaticals yeah let's try that again the predators now they're 11 back on colorado colorados two back on the stars the stars now tied with winnipeg for first place because they've dropped two and winnipeg's one forward route by the way I made me think of something so when we wrap up the NHL I have a question for you go go ahead this is the perfect it's not it's not hockey related that's why I want to compartmentalize I also saw the other day a patrick wall had a birthday because they do birthdays on pti did not know he was coaching oh yeah well it's kind of a surprise that he's back coaching since the last didn't he had ended very uh we'll say poorly okay I just it's like I haven't heard patrick was named it a long time is did did how didn't his kid make it to the NHL too uh same name not related oh I thought I thought it was that Brandon Waw is I don't believe he had a son that made I will double check please do in the Pacific division the San Jose sharks you want to this is not part of North America's favorite game show Alex but would you like to guess how many points out of first place they are oh out of first place it could you tell me who's in first place for their division again that would be Vancouver and they're playing really well I'm gonna guess that is exactly right they are 50 points out of first oh my god they're eight back on Anna Hymanaheim is 18 points back on the Kraken Seattle two back on Calgary Calgary's five back on the Los Angeles the Kings are four back on Edmonton Edmonton's a point back on Vegas Vegas now 10 back on Vancouver yes sir both of patrick was son's Frederick and Jonathan played for the Quebec ramparts when Waw was a coach there but neither came close to the NHL including Jonathan leaving to pursue a music career Frederick sounds familiar that names maybe it was maybe I saw something like the frozen four or something uh possibly I love that that call it that all right sound to play North America's favorite game show what is the goal differential for the and we are in about a 30-second delay so I'm gonna wait for anybody's in the chat room to take a shot I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the century mark because they've been steadily crawling up there and I think it might be a little too high but I'm gonna give them the century mark right at 100 you know what I'll be I'll be sneaky and do 99 all right Russ says minus 92 okay wait and see make see if anything else happens here because we've got a couple of people in here right now all right the San Jose Sharks have played 57 games they are 1537 and five they have 35 points no they're actually I'm sorry they're 48 points no I'm sorry they're 52 back in the come in in the division they are 917 and 2 at home they are 620 and 3 on the road they've lost 4 in a row they're 36 and 1 in their last 10 the goal differential for the San Jose Sharks Alex you went the wrong way is there minus 102 oh wow so that's like a minus 10 in the last week because one day like minus 92 last week I thought it was like 95 they're going the wrong way tell them say well they're going the right way if there's a generational talent in the draft I think Chicago's trying real hard too because they got the same number of points and it played two more games and they're at minus 85 so there's that all right let us now go ahead it looks like it looks like Frederick Waugh actually wound up playing in Allen as a visitor a couple of games no maybe that's why that might have been the crossover but he retired in 2020 speaking of things that are local I posted this earlier on my social media the Dallas sidekicks are doing a a tribute night to friend of the show Captain AmeriDat Daniel Calhoun they're having a bunch of cosplayers come up they're going to do something at halftime so if you're going to the Dallas sidekicks game and you have any form of cosplay I make sure you go out there the details are on the Dallas sidekicks Facebook page you do want to ask me a question sir as soon as we finish with hockey so what made me think of it was you were talking about the Nashville predators getting into something a little bit different have you seen the talks sparking up about expansion teams in major league baseball I have not so apparently there has been discussions of late that the goal for baseball was always to get to 32 where they are currently at 30 okay the if you had to pick two cities to get from 30 to 32 because can traditionally baseball has expanded not just singularly because balancing American and national leagues what two cities that do not have professional baseball teams right now do you think should get them one Oklahoma City Oklahoma City needs a second professional team of some form they have more than earned it or anywhere in the state of Oklahoma Russ is beloved town of Tulsa would be great now granted it's not a major market but you didn't put that limitation on it either no no that's I I did not want to put that limitation on it if I had to pick a second one a bigger market team that I think deserves one would be Indianapolis oh that's a good one just because there's a long history of baseball in Indiana too well and the fact that they've only got two of the four yeah that's true you know they don't they don't have hockey which is weird because you would think hockey would be pretty big up there but it just off the top of my head those would be the first two yeah because I was going through this exercise myself because allegedly there is two very clear front runners okay and I don't know how I feel about one of them but the other one is Nashville which has shown time and time and time and time again that it is a great sports city as respectfully as I can say I don't see Oklahoma being successful for anything but the other one that is in the very front running lead for an expansion team is Salt Lake City and I was wondering how you'd feel about that as the governor well as as the de facto governor of Utah as we have studied many times on this show I think it would be good for our economy I I don't know I would need to look at the true economics of that because I don't know how well the jazz does which they're only team jazz does very well there would I mean Colorado plays outside so you can't really talk about the weather of it all I could see it but I feel like there's other cities that I would pick before it you know the really interesting one that's been circling in my head and I don't know viability to it go ahead San Juan oh so you want to include the territories yes okay well because the concept is is there's still the Toronto blue jays so yeah there's a genuine part of me that would lean towards give Montreal a team back but there's a reason they're not there art and art is is Puerto Rico on eastern time yes I believe it is so there's not that issue right it's just a international travel aspect which is from Puerto Rico to Miami to anywhere much like Toronto to anywhere or you go to the other side of the country the trail by the Salt Lake City logic Portland would be a decent town you kind of be my brain immediately goes to Vegas but that's already happening well that the wheels are starting to get wobbly on that too from what I don't think they've actually gotten wobbly I think it was the mayor of Las Vegas trying to be considerate to the city of Oakland and saying no it would have been great for them to stay there and people grabbed onto that snippet and ran with it even though that's not what was intended by the state and there's going to have to be a 30 for 30 on this by the on this specific one absolutely because any other almost any other move outside of the Baltimore Colts of this story has been fascinating I really hope we get a 30 for out of the peak of biggest especially or just the history of teams trying to go to Vegas if nothing else because it's crazy all right let's say that I was thinking of that might be interesting and it's completely random and for no other reason than the idea that you might be able to have a cool backdrop to the stadium put a team in Baja just watch that completely go off that you want to tornadoes or something Russ says that Tulsa did have a USFL team the Oklahoma Oklahoma outlaws I believe which remember we're only four weeks away from that that is true let's kick it off we did get some very sad news for those of you that that may not know Alex and I are both students of stand-up comedy I have been most of our lives and we lost a legend Richard Lewis who just from the first time I saw him do stand-up I was in and when I was in high school of every I think it was Wednesday night I would have dinner with one of my mentors and his wife at their house and we would eat dinner and then we would watch do e-howser and anything but love back-to-back I loved that show so much he was absolutely a creative genius comedically he knew how to write we know that he had been fighting some health issues for a few years that kept him off at least I think a full season of curb at one point just an absolute legend I was a huge fan Alex there anything you want to add to that because man you know interestingly enough I feel like all stand-up comedy was ruined for me at one point because the first three that I saw were I believe in this order Robin Williams Richard Lewis George Carlin wow and for Richard Lewis to stand up among those two is just a it speaks to his quality because there was something like George Carlin had the biting cynicism Robin Williams had the bombastic Richard Lewis just had this I don't want to call it a character because it's who he was but he had this way of delivering that never made you feel quite attacked but had points to it like it was there was just something about his delivery and the intelligence behind what he said and I one time actually upset a friend when I said yeah Richard Lewis is just who Dennis Miller wishes he could be and I think very highly of Dennis Miller but that also should stack rank it for you in my point but Larry David had a very very amazing write-up a very heartfelt write-up regarding Richard Lewis and like a couple of the factoids that blew my mind on that they were born three days apart in the same hospital and were friends for their entire lives that's crazy to me and a Jamie Lee Curtis put up a picture Russ talks about him as John and Robin Hood men of tights that's why I was smiling a moment ago of Jamie Lee Curtis just put a picture of them a promo photo from anything but love right next to the lyrics to the theme of that show which I thought was really cool again I always like to think he was hit a quiet frenzy age you knew in his brain he was going to mile a minute I was going to say duck on the pond he was able to get it from here to here in a way that could still get to the audience and get the laugh but he could keep the pace of the audience and I always thought that was the part of his brilliance but with him and Larry David it's the the brilliance thing is they both had that same biting cynicism available but where Larry David comes across as neurotic Richard Lewis was always like let me take a minute this might be a little crazy but I'm going to say it in a way that we're on the same side even if we disagree big fans both of us and we he will be missed rumors circulating this week that access TV will be branding could be as soon as the fall may not be till first of the year to anthem man just stay HD net like that said who you were it's one of those for make it make sense or just shut up about it it's streaming services for Lord sake I'm sorry what was that for the Lord for the sake of Pete as it was once said in short circuit go to streaming services yeah because I can't get it because I got YouTube TV on can because it got youverse I can't I don't know if I can oh no they're not on any streaming services at all right but what I'm saying is is that we cover the basis and there's only one of us that can CBS has renewed the young and the restless for four more years how many years does that make it as old as me 55 by the time that contracts up 2027 to 2028 okay you know what is there a more defined like hey if I you could buy stock and soap operas how much would you throw at that because it is well you that's left but what I'm saying is is but they belong Jevite the blue ship status for TV the business model on that is always fasting because they'll they'll be free to four weeks at a time oh yeah like what you're watching tomorrow was recorded probably right at first of the year and a number of them shot very similar we've talked about it on the show before about the telenovela style where they have the earpiece and and are just going and taking a cue from something else they did in the fall they will be airing on CBS they will be airing season one of Tulsi King nice okay I still have to watch their streaming shows and moving it to the network while in the in the post strike era we're catching up how to really good conversation about that the other night who lose speaking of what Alex said earlier they just keep stacking the deck for only murders in the building do you see who else they announced this week I believe I did but hit me with it Eugene levy baby he's Eugene levy Martin short that's a reunion and Steve Martin on the end okay like you're limiting my reasons to not catch up on the show but I'm still concerned with the same thing I said are we adding too many people to this television version of the NWL I the HBO Max said that Wonka will start streaming tomorrow even though it's they're on another theatrical run and if you haven't watched it it will be available to you on max tomorrow if you go on max it's next Friday I probably you're right it's next Friday I wrote the run sheet and the word next was there and my eyes skipped open NBC peacock we have another member of the cast for suits LA if you saw the first purge lex Scott Davis is your female female lead for that yeah she was very good in that and it was one of those were first purge horrible horrible horrible horrible movie she was pretty good at it actually you know I actually saw the first one actually I think saw first you that's probably about where you can stop and be good and the first one had one of the biggest are you kidding me not in a good way moments that I've seen in film in a long time please elaborate spoiler alert for a movie that's 20 years old you get to the end they're all sitting at the table and Lena he's like not gonna kill you and I'm like let me make sure I'm clear on this because you're good to do this all again in a year when it comes around they're going to come for you again yeah I was I did not enjoy the ending of that film I I feel like even Lena heady would be looking at it based on her let's call it her type casting just looking at it going I'm gonna say F and what play the great Sarah Connor though I'll tell you that much name something she didn't do well I'm just I'm angry that that show didn't get another season because the way they left the cliff hanger on that I was like oh and surely Manson playing a T10 T1000 are you kidding me well the the other one in that scope of movies that did not get nearly enough credit did you ever see dread with Carl urban it's in my cue it is in my cue on on prime video but I just I've heard wonderful things I have no reason to say I'm unabashedly and let me let me put an asterisk on this because you know how Carl and I are connected even if it wasn't him I would still love that movie unabashedly it is phenomenal and Lena heady as mama was oh my god terrifying in the best of ways I love her I do too Netflix has renewed the Lincoln lawyer for season three I am still surprised by that I loved the movie I haven't watched a moment of the show my wife really likes the show okay so here's something you don't hear us talk about I think ever on this show so this could be the second first because while I was waiting for you I was saying we've I don't think we've ever done a show on leaf day before oh yeah that's interesting PBS has renewed all creatures great and small for seasons five and six it is one of their most popular shows it's PBS keep it going made possible by viewers like you heal a prime video has said the final season of Alex Ryder they're going to air on free v it will not be on prime video the third and final season for that show which there were rumors that free v might be going away but after Amazon laid off a bunch of people but Amazon's like no it's staying right where it is and stars has renewed I believe the concept on that one was rather not it was going to get absorbed stars will be airing has renewed mf for season capital B lowercase and more case I'm sorry could you say that one more time you cut out a little bit stars has renewed bmf for season four thank you uh I'm just going to say this up front the list of DVD and Blu-ray new releases for next week is literally nothing of consequence on TV's or film so wow only I've got movie new release tomorrow be dune part two mm-hmm getting very very good reviews overall uh I'm sorry everybody I had something come up I couldn't make it to the screening so that's on me for the miss of I still have not seen the first one I'm not saying to say that it's not that I don't want to it's just it was it was one of those pandemic things where I was just like yeah I could do it it's it's really good and the fact that they're saying that this one's even better oh my god I can't wait let's see just one quick tech talk this might be from the department of they probably want this one back did you say have you seen this Wendy's story from this yes oh I was mad I was mad at Wendy's and you know I love Wendy's yeah I've been there three times in the last week it was my very first job but I was 14 41 Atlantic store one oh nine represent and I you know what in that same vein I missed the sunroom I'm we never got a super bar at mine and that made me sad oh are you do you remember the super bar because that yes among when that was a thing yeah because you had the salad and the potatoes and the well and you also had pasta and Italian you had a pasta oh there was no pasta when I was there the only thing there was was the salad and the potato fixings then you also had a nacho bar and you had a pasta bar with it too yeah that's nope that's a nope for me oh yeah it was amazing of their CEO comes out earlier this week and says in 2025 we're gonna speak since we have digital media boards we're going to be experimenting with raising prices at peak times so pricing is the term so trying to use the uber model which like basically I could be right behind you in line and pay five dollars more for a hamburger than you did because you got there before they changed the menu board now as of today they are walking that back and going the opposite direction of saying prices will drop in non peak times however you're still going to raise prices at some point come on Wendy's Dave Thomas has an honorary high school diploma from my high school and the entire internet and I apologize to our British viewers just does I was just like really bro I mean there's no such thing as bad publicity but this doesn't help you yeah no kidding although big fan of those baked potatoes had one the other day always good consistently good even even though spoiler alert micro wave well when I worked there they actually had an oven and they were in those ovens for five hours yeah if I'm not mistaken a number of them have switched over to a so interesting factoid you learn in restaurants when you're on a short pinch if you throw butter salt pepper on a baked or on a potato that has been washed wrap it in saran wrap and then put it in the microwave you can actually bake a potato in short term that way it keeps everything inside then pull the plastic off and sometimes well I had a chili cheese potato and normally this one by my house it's not on the menu I got it though now there you go let me order a chili cheese potato and it was the right because we can't do an episode of the show and not talk about food it's okay because one of us doesn't eat until after or both I haven't eaten I've I just I had I have that's why I would say I had a small batch of chips before I got in there and and they were the crab seasoning chips which I oh you are a big fan of that oh let's get in the resting headlines and another moment we lost a couple of people this this but since we were on the air last uh Virgil passed the other day we want to send it out the man say it how you say it he he was he was a great second banana I mean his stuff with D.

B. O. C.

alone the N. W. Well nobody was more over than Virgil turning on the million dollar man yeah at that point nobody was more over and one of the O.

G's who in my opinion hopefully we'll get his due Oli Anderson one of the original four horsemen to me the only one outside of those four that I count is window yeah those are the O. G's even Luger Luger's on the fringe for me I understand why they brought him in because he needed it but that those five were the guys for me yeah now the other interesting thing is is with Sean coming in and not having been as versed in our history was explaining well why was this guy important because I haven't heard the name and going into it and the one note that perked her up was explaining back in the day where bad guys had to be ready to legit fight fans and I said without a doubt take Andre out of it because of size purely if you gave me two guys to protect me in a bar fight it's Harley race and Oli Anderson those are the two uh you're getting a shout chat room sir with a nickname a flashback at a half what's up camps I was actually the the best man in his wedding I saw that I saw that yeah I'm like I've never heard that name used before and that goes way back it was the barn DO double G oh I love it uh but yeah Oli Minnesota wrecking crew and like and you could back then you legit believed he and Arn were related because they looked at like they favored each other they're still there's still a part of me they denies that they're ever not related oh man oh put a pin in that Nick we're gonna have a note on something connected to Haku here in a minute uh that is a good bowl no surrender was a thing uh sort of EY is your number one contender for sacrifice which by the way is next Friday night yeah of pco and con never got off the ground because there was a dq which why wasn't that note hey you didn't with uh you have new knockouts champs mk ultra did get the but the belts back in that uh moose wins the no surrender match after koshita throws in the towel this was a strange match uh well you when you have and you put it wonderfully when we talked about it before how do you have a no surrender match when the only way to win is surrender yeah because if nobody is that would still be gone I mean if you have no dq make sense no holds barred make sense no surrender you win by surrender question yeah why it was just very strangely booked uh and then Mustafa Ali is your new exhibition champion and they're the first person the first person to win the exhibition title in his debut match they're apparently doing something big tonight on impact i'll be watching it tomorrow because it's on accident tv and they don't hit the app until way later but i'm i'm happy to see him getting shine and getting a platform is he is he james is your new ro w television champion this is a very interesting situation uh their guy that's their gm now he calls out for a contract signing so champion comes out is he comes out and basically the guy's like you know what i don't want to wait till our big event in a couple of weeks we're gonna do this no hold on there's the way he did it was oh yeah he goes we're gonna do this tonight and you both are in your gear so we're gonna do it right now and he pulls the tablecloth and he goes and it's a table's match i was like okay let's do that and easy james is your now reality of wrestling television champion it was a good match they still got to work on the production but it's it's such indy mudfest kind of here for it like it's entertaining where i was entertaining that's that's fair uh nip me something i'm not expecting nick nemith is your new i w gp global champion you beat david david's name still uh show wins his first i w gp jr heavyweight champion chip over L desparado and mat riddle is your new japan television champion with the square belt i hate it so much hate it so much i mean i'm happy for nick nemith but i he he should be further up that card already but riddle just popping it like okay yeah you're making a note i wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the god what was the term that they called it anyways but it's essentially they hot shot a western talent a a geigen geigen bump okay okay i know trying about yes yeah the geigen bump i wouldn't be surprised if he winds up being a transition champion to somebody else within a couple of months or at least maybe i'm just hoping because i liked mat riddle when he was part of catchpoint he was fun with Randy or nothing else he did really stuck with me and especially when the only thing i have to hear about him is that Sean refers to him as fun yundies there is one thing that entertains you greatly and it was the sleet days okay yes i enjoyed the sleet days but to borrow a phrase from somebody who has been on this show many times a good entrance does not make a good wrestler i just said it was something that entertained you yes i was entertained by the random animals and the slides uh i'm very proud of myself that i made it all the way to middle of the afternoons sunday and watched all of elimination chamber without spoilers i'm sorry you watch what i'm sorry elimination chamber without spoilers i was shocked that because i stayed off social media i popped on to wish happy birthdays and kept it in my i didn't even do random things that bring me joy because i didn't want something popping up at the top of my instagram feed and messing with me i avoided everything my daily idiot from resting online news i said nope not watch it not read it i only had one thing spoiled for me and in the grand scheme of things number one it wasn't surprising number two wasn't really a big factor in the situation this to me was a plea that was logical booking it was a very uneven card for only five or six matches it felt very how show-esque to me it was fun but got it was fun it was entertaining but to me it's not it wasn't elimination elimination chamber it just nothing nothing surprised um i did like that our truth was in austria yeah i enjoyed that uh the other thing i was trying to remember did they say it on the broadcaster did i see it somewhere else after that it turned out that the main event was both people who were born in australia um i don't think i heard that nia jacks was actually born in australia before the family moved to hawaii oh really i did not so that main event wound up two australian born against each other and if your quarry break quarry graves that's one way to spend your birthday in it uh it's also fair also did but my favorite moment did not happen on the show did you see what happened between indie heartwell and grace and wallar who we know have known each other for a very long time i did not so they had a very sweet moment i didn't see if it was before the show during the show or when it occurred but at the stadium where they were peeking out from a side area like where wrestlers can see the actual venue rather than just watching on a monitor and there was just a quick back and forth that wasn't caught by the microphone that was essentially like a how cool is it that we've gotten here and there was a big hug love you love you too and somebody posted it and i believe it was wwe australia and grace and wallar's response was man a i is getting crazy and speaking of things that were posted shout out to bronson re who was supposed to be there but he was not because of the birth of his child so congratulations to his and kudos to triple h for the exact statement of you were exactly where you were supposed to be respect to the boss on that uh was announced monday night and i don't know how i feel about this but i'm not a gamer so i guess i don't have a dog in the fight an aqua fee and his entire crew will be playable in two k 24 i'm okay with part of that but that sounds like the most mac if he of things of like oh you're gonna put me in the game can we get these guys too that's probably what happened i well you my favorite one though is did you see the valet now that it will be available from the american nightmare pack no so obviously with a valet usually doesn't get involved anything along those lines you can have pharo i was hoping for a way of the all white librarian husky who my dogs are big fans of they have you know necker chiefs to prove it is available in the american nightmare pack your dogs who although your dogs who have necker chiefs that you have posted and kody has responded yes but actually it was brandy that was responded oh uh the brand alone same household the brand alone but the part i have in that same scope if you were to pull on what would be involved in the american nightmare pack out from just the current iteration of kody roads would you choose stardust and undashing kody roads i think that's part of a pack with it's those two uh dusty and somebody else like it's nilly gram is it is that super star billy gram yeah because that's what they've been advertising right but what i'm saying is is i feel like i would have went with dashing kody roads to give him the mustash rather than the face mask of undash venom of the venom of the kody yes as undashing uh i know it's been a few weeks now you can do this i've got a couple of technical things i want to talk about in the presentations overall i feel like you can really see the tko influence because the opening to every show for the last couple of weeks has been people arriving to the arena yep the only thing they don't have is the ufc intro music well and they in my opinion so take this for what you're paying for it they have to back off on the albumbers for every person before they go i'm okay with it i am totally okay with it it's already lost its specialness for me well i don't think it's the concept of the specialness it's more of the this it gives you something of this is why you want to stick around highlights kind of i'm i'm okay with it because it's four seconds it looks cool don't get me wrong i just save it when you need it uh it's better than a fade out in my opinion so i'm i think it's an improvement cedric aliexander is now on a tag team with the shanty lead the adonis so put that get ready for the new jobs quad and um no solo cubs for the profits or was that just a uta thing oh no there i don't know that they've been using cubs for a while now okay because i just i just noticed it last friday uh raw was very lackluster i have no notes on raw at all well we're in the we're in the post plea dead zone plus you think about it it was their first live show back after everybody traveling from australia uh annex c roadblock is this coming Tuesday yeah i was there was a vignette that said see you soon and then the roadblock logo i'm assuming because it was on a beach and written the sand that that's going to be the return of solruka that's what uh is currently the expectation who interestingly enough is tyler baits uh significant other now i'm sorry who tyler bait tyler tyler bait thank you yeah but i will say this though we are gonna bring back the next time we're at a live show it is the tyler bait song and it is talk to us because nobody's doing it oh it's happening friday it is happening friday i will try to get that over but we've talked about this yes and i just we're we're almost right behind uh actually i think we're a few rows behind on the first riser behind announcing nice so i will be trying to get that over as long as a certain somebody is there uh but the other thing i wanted to say is we talk about how lackluster nxt is usually compared to raw being a good show or smackdown being a good show nxt was actually a really good show this week well which is why because i i watched it on pseudo delay because i was actually home uh that because i texted you and i was like are you watching because the show was that good and i made sure not to say a word because a couple of things happened book or tea return so he's back this week he was he was actually pretty good this week l a has been i respect book or tea's career i don't want him anywhere near a live microphone unless he's announcing his own match that's my one me on a weekly basis to remind me that he can't stand pat mac and i told him last week i'm like i can't defend it right now i just can't yeah um we were all wrong about who those vignettes were for well i almost wonder if it's going to be more to it but did you read that whole did you read about how all that came together no so apparently that signing happened for those of you that don't know uh the vignettes for all of those white writing on black background was for Sean Spears which nobody knew even when they rehearsed it it was Sean standing in the ring so by the time it hit and it was Sean Spears i was like oh because again when you can take me off guard and you can entertain me you get credit for that i didn't see that coming i didn't see it being him i didn't even realize it was him now in retrospect the man's holding a chair and that's the kind of hood he was wearing at the end of his AEW run so if i had really been using my brain or as my mother used to say using my head for something besides a hat rack maybe i would have figured it out at that point but i liked that i didn't until the lights came up well and unfortunately that was the thing that was spoiled for me because i somebody who will remain nameless messaged me to say oh wow it was Sean Spears and my response was what was Sean Spears and the explanation that it was the vignettes and it's like okay fine whatever except for the fact that i was not surprised because there were rumors of him having already been resigned or resigning before the rumble that he was expected to be the number ten entrant until his non-appearance clause had gotten extended by AEW for his time injured and that granted all of that big asterisk with an allegedly on it but there were already reports of him coming back to the company but i'm very happy to see him because he works best in NXT and he'll be exactly the kind of thing we talked about that was missing from that brand because when that man is responsible for Cody Rhodes getting as good as he is that's who you want working with younger talent and especially with somebody like Ridge who they see big main event status with who's not there yet it wasn't strange nice about it it was it was kind of like i wonder if they were making him sweat it out i feel like that that the promo was supposed to end a couple of minutes earlier and and he just kept going because they didn't kill the lights yeah well but it but it was also one of those ones where i almost wonder if it was a tabaro chase use phrase a teachable moment where they called the younger crowd around the monitors and said now watch what happens we're not going to kill the lights when he thinks it's going to be killed and he's going to be a pro because that man is someone on facebook today put up a video of charlotte and becky when they were first training you see and doing dueling promos which i thought was kind of fun new heritage cup champion in one charlie dempsey that makes me so happy it really makes me happy because i i see a lot in charlie dempsey there was an impressive match yeah uh you know what respect and know him dark being able to play from under so to speak whereas normally he's the one with the numbers advantage oh i'm sorry i thought there was more i was wondering i was just leaving it at that i want to wax poetic about how much i was like uh charlie dempsey is regal's kid i don't know how much that that kid has been amazing in everything i've seen him do so far whether it be in japan or here i like how they did the reveal we're just stepping back uh let's talk about that ending because you texted me and you were like let me guess spears i go yeah there's more wait till the end and you had just gotten to this point let me see the last 10 minutes of nxt and my opinion was done brilliantly i agree because now and i called you uh to uh last night when i was at the theater mm-hmm i said now we know how the next month of this is going to go yep but by the same token i'm this is one of those times where i know the destination mm-hmm it's going to be de angelo ilia at stan and deliver i don't agree with you because trick costs mellow that match happens at stan and deliver and i'm going to say toni goes over because ilia and mellow go up and now you can have like i what they have done with toni de angelo as a character because when this first happened i was in this day and age we both bagged on him in this day to add on every bit of this they have evolved this character in a way that's not as bigger than life as he was when they first came in with those vignettes this i i can say now put that belt on this man he is great and i am a fan and i was wrong well i i don't know that in if i may i don't know that we were wrong we were correct because it was too over the top when it started out now that he's kind of come into the idea of that's right i'm supposed to be a kingpin a boss the dawn you don't have to yell when you're in charge you just have to that was one of my friends that was so smooth that was so incredibly smooth sure to what i was like okay that was a baller move and whoever put that in the script god bless you and i'm here for you well but the other thing is is i think stacks is starting to get that too that he doesn't have to be so over the top rizo is terrible at this point she's gotten better like was she but that voice is so dumb i was like let's tap to break a little bit she's starting to settle in a little better than she did when she first came well but it did interesting note that i wanted to talk about was she's in the same vein for me as how i felt about Tiffany Stratton when they hot shot at her to a title and i was like i don't see it i don't see it and she has come Stratton has come leaps and bounds ahead of what we were seeing before that had me concerned i'm 100% on board with her especially on the main roster she is doing amazing work and i hope Adriana Rizzo proves me wrong in that scope as well but dear god i don't want to hear her talk at all until she gets whatever it is fixed in her sinuses or whatnot i don't want to hear that what sounds like the world's worst subranos impression but we'll see what happens at roadblock this coming Tuesday we are three days away from revolution and meet madness is now an all-star scramble so maybe i'm gonna get something that i missed for a very long time and but it's not for a championship that i'm aware of well there's still two people that haven't been revealed so well part of the problem i read i've been reading is number one they kept adding stipulations and it got out of control and two some of the people that they've had as participants aren't you to be able to make it to the show that doesn't surprise me so allegedly for bid and door will be at arthorash stadium in june they haven't officially but they're apparently tap dancing and they have applied for a trademark for AEW dynasty which is being hinted as an april paper view well there's also the reports of con coming out and saying that his magic number for paper views on the year is nine which is going to be better than twelve well but when you look at it you have three of them that are going to be roh dedicated and then another nine or is that six and three because the list i saw had nine for AEW and three for ring of honor well at least i know i can get the ring of honor once we'll see about that they tend to pivot on collision max caster had his first flood in the entrance we just kind of gave up on the rhyme and just yeah he just gave both some mic is like i'm done yeah oh hold on we got to do our thing it is time for your atom page lower third update from dynamite this week not looking good that was your atom page lower third update but that is another one of what i've been saying for weeks of i don't care what Meltzer is going to say i don't care what any of the dirt she'd say they're now all ponds in this entire thing they're literally being you out for it too yeah which i love the same time i wonder if there is levels of we'll give you real news but you put this up front we're not going to intentionally make you look stupid you're going to be smart to it but you're feeding the animals for us i think you're giving them too much credit i'm hoping that's the case because otherwise dear god there's people still paying for toilet paper that's not comfy really thought they would wait for the rick turn until sunday or this could be all of a setup because remember he didn't hit him with the bat he just thumbed the eyes and then it was just from underneath which and i didn't much for a 90 year old man i didn't catch the omaj in the locker room i'm sorry the what now the the bat hanging from the ceiling apparently he did a he was seeing did a huge promo in wcw like that oh okay somebody put the comparison up today i was like and then he came down from the rafters okay that popped me yeah and i would oh they're doing the thing but well because remember he also said he was never going to do that again after what happened with Owen right and shavani just losing his mind like it was 1997 all over again yeah now before we get too far away from this you did see the reports about dynamite getting rebranded and redone after revolution correct yeah there's going to be a new set march six we've surprised they didn't wait a week and just do it at big business but that's just me well i wonder if that's more of the test run for separate things and then they add more to it for big business but they have revealed how the new dynamite logo question mark is going to look what did you think of that i have not seen it you're more than welcome to share it okay let me say if i can find it real quick while you're doing that ring of honor last week taia valkary who faced queen aminata tonight in the quarter finals of the women's television championship tournament red velvet faces layla harshnext abadon faces mercedes martines and billy starkes faces de amante but the first three faced enhancement talent which i thought was weird for a tournament but that's just me and i have watched the first 45 minutes of tonight's ring of honor i'll watch the rest of it after the show i'm finding that's easier for me so i don't have to sit through that and impact on friday mornings maybe found it yet oh yes i'm trying to find the new stuff from aspects okay so the new logo do you have it on screen uh there it is i like it's a little bit fuzzy but it kind of works i'm kind of interesting it plays into the color scheme of the opening a little bit better but i don't know that i can call it a logo just because it's the entire thing it's a title card tight that's a better way to call it but they've been referring to it as the new logo i like it i dig it yeah but i like how they're constantly evolving you know and i give them credit for trying things that was the big thing we talked about even when people were bashing AEW for being sloppy or different aspects because it's not that it wasn't sloppy in a number of areas but they were at least trying different things not everything works we fondly remember the attitude era but there's a lot of it that was bad yeah uh dead housing returns and you went over uh brand and cutler and uh why wouldn't he yeah uh and a fena retained in that two out of three uh tables match which has very interesting spots in it it's very entertaining so uh anything else that you've got that we need to talk about for a while i guess the the this is the one that i after crapping on the dirt sheets myself i did mention we were going to talk about something related to haku i'm surprised you didn't have this headline allegedly oh i know Tonga has signed with the company with wwe now that works perfectly to me because we're doing the blood brother angle between rock and romans family between high chief and uh oh my god why am i drawing a blank anyways uh the anewa e clan uh but because tomatanga is haku's son but he is adopted so there is that kind of same tangent that if we do wind up with the roman side versus rock side tomatanga fits kind of perfectly into the rock side as being part of the family but only kind of but there's still a genuine part of me that i feel like i'd rather have gorillas a destiny and i don't know how much longer tanga loa has with new japan you know how much of a fan i am of the girl is a destiny well and to be honest it may be a two to three years off we're not going to get briskos versus the usos but we could eventually get gorillas a destiny versus the usos and i am all for that yes please all right dawn should be back next week so make
