How s Your Bracket

Every time I try it, I feel like another world!
You can try Wow!
It is 509 on the East Coast, it is 509 on the West Coast, it is the 28th of March in
the year of our Lord 2020 season 14 episode 22 657 times you have been welcome to the clubhouse
podcast your one stop shop or all things sports entertainment pop culture pro wrestling we welcome
you. My name is Rob I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast and holy crap it's almost
April that way for me is my co-host and a man who's just a man doing man things he is out well
are we gonna have to do the the shirt check for the day as well because I just spent over two hours
hold on I'm loving this one though. The man saying at the bottom of your screen is the official
fact checker of sooner gator promotions and a man who's wearing the wrong shirt because right now
the Pittsburgh pirates have the the ability to go 162 and oh you may know I was done for but
his mom and you may know his Igboon but his mom and even don't for I'm gonna call him don't for
hit down they wanted 12 innings today they went extra innings here at least I got the right
season sports and it is opening night for the Rangers it's opening day for the pirates I know but
I just thought it's right down the road they're the champions let's give them a heads up you know
I was very disappointed when I saw you on camera and I was like wait some now we're in football
Jersey I nobody said you were I'm trying it's steps I I would like to interject on Don's
behalf for a second and say it is not the wrong shirt it is just a confused fandom shirt
but they won then they don't hey what is it the last preseason no today's opening day so they're
they're they're they're 161 games away from going perfect season that is what I'm saying yes
don't you don't do it oh probably starting well hey but here's by the end of the day they're
gonna have a better record than half the league that's true actually that's barely accurate it's
they're not over half the league or over half the league will be undefeated I think well
technically it balances it's because some of them are rained out today because I know the
braves are rained out today okay at least a third of the league they'll have a better record than
at least a third of the league you'll be you'll be in a many way tie for first place exactly
tie for first I need therapy this is riveting this is this is what you can expect every week from
the show ladies and gentlemen let's dive in the sweet 16 is underway both of my teams out in the
first round South Florida and the NIT out in the first round Florida loses to a play in team
that happens every year though tough tournament for me hey rest is commented about the shirt he's
now talking hats oh actually I'm not even in the chat room hey rest all right well because for us
Tulsa that's where he's from and that's a minor league team so he's okay he's got the golden
tee for the Rangers in their World Series hat so yeah exactly I know Rachel's over there because
and this is the very rare Rangers opening night oh that is true I saw that I was like oh they're
playing a night game I guess because they're gonna be on the Espen and they're the defending champ
so they wanted that in prime time well it actually has already started so oh yeah but I'm just
saying like I think that's probably why I would think yeah because Espen wasn't doing any day games
today because around the Horn and PTI were on at their normal time it's like in the NFL doesn't
like the the Super Bowl champion give like the first normally I wish it was a lot every time
but almost every time yeah okay I wanted to be a rematch to the Super Bowl that first Thursday
night game every year because I think that would be fun but that's just it if they're lined up to
play that season I a hundred percent cosine but I don't say you adjust the the schedule just to
format that well there's that extra 17th game and they could use that as well there might be an 18th
now there's talk done okay are we are there are we gonna get in the football at all during the show
I mean if you want to we can we do whatever we want it's our show I think we kind of did a little
bit well what about if I pick off the rule or something now how's that working going to the
XFL rules of kickoff yeah the way that works is the kickers by himself and then you have everybody else
up a little bit and then you can have up to two people in a boxed area and nobody's allowed to move
until the ball either hits the ground or is caught and if it's a touchback it now goes to the
30 I like the way the XFL does it I'm sorry the UFL which kicks quick note on that do you see the irony
the NFL went to the XFL model the UFL is using traditional kickoffs but backing the kicker
up to the 20 oh are they yeah here's my other quote what if they want to do an on-site kick they have
to declare that ahead of time and then do it so there's no surprise I think we're about a season
or two away from the fourth and 15 I like the on-site rule which I'm a big fan of yeah
I'm here for that I enjoy interestingly enough happened in both XFL games I went to and it was
awesome now what's the fourth and 15 rule or whatever uh so instead of an on-site kick they would
start on their 20 and have a fourth and 15 so if they convert the fourth and 15 they keep the ball
if the other team stops it they retain it because it's a ball down play I see okay yeah I just
think that's the better option and I don't know how I feel because we talked about it before with
the one two and three extra points depending on where they take it after a touchdown
but I don't know how I feel about kickers becoming almost unnecessary it's a little I know one
agree with it and his name rhymes with Schmidt McAfee that is true
so how's your brackets kids because I can tell you mine is I'm not in last place
of people that are active because Sean is actually in last but she's got Baylor winning the whole
thing so she's already got the little next next to her uh maintenance guru picks is behind me
that would be Joe and then me and then you're you're actually 20 points better than me
I have you you have you con and the interesting thing is I want to say this is the worst I've
done through the first couple of rounds and I love it it's I you know how much I love the tournament
I just do I was shocked this week to find out that in the women's tournament and I don't know why I
never noticed this before they don't play neutral the first two rounds higher seed gets the home
game now they're they're saying with the with the trend the upward trend that the women's game
is getting an attendance that they could eventually get to that place but they're not there yet
I think it's kind of neat you want my hot take on that always the women's game is better
it absolutely is there's more parity there's actual basketball being played now college the men's
colleges as close as we get to that until you get to the garbage league I love that
we found out also this week that ice cube has reached out to Caitlin Clark to be part of the big three
there is a person in that household that has refuted that oh really
uh the oh shea Jackson junior said that that was not a factual report
because it was on his Instagram oh I know I think it was him feeding into it going oh yeah that
sounds cool let's do that for some advertising I mean he made it sound like it was legit so
well but at the same time you also have Dave Portinoi from ball barstool sports offering her
10 million to play in their intramural league so great it's all well and this is also the same
sources that told us that show hey otani was married to uh hikaru shita and we found out that
wasn't true but currently leading crazy i said it's a kuk e it's all one word
i don't know that's mic that's big mic big mic leading right now he has got 510 points total he's
in the 99.4th percentile dude no sports so good job mic he's got new con winning the whole thing
uh wrong way feldman has io a state we'll see how that works out and joe and i both have used it
so well the interesting thing is is not only is this the worst two first two rounds i've ever had
with a bracket but i think it's also the first time i've gone to the sweet 16 with all of my elite eight
still alive i haven't checked to see where i'm at on that particular category but i'll take a look
all right is anybody left still on the uh usb and perfect bracket still or is that no that was
gone by the end of the second day yeah i know yahu the greatest part about this yeah yahu went on
the first day from 24 million to 1800 and they were down to eight by sunday
yeah uh espan was 22.9 million and they were done by the last game of night too that's that's
the beauty of the tournament it just is NBA standings eastern conference Atlantic division
not a good day to be a toronto raptors fan you realize they're on a 12 game skid right now
is there a good time to be a raptors fan they they've got a ring they are 34 and a half games back
i'm gonna go ahead and say it probably not gonna make the playoffs
they are five games back on brook glim brook glim who is uh 11 games back on the 76ers
philadelphia now five and a half back on the nixon nixon now 13 back on boston boston has the
little z next to their name which means they have clinched home court throughout the playoffs
with 10 games to go in the central division the detroit pistons former champs of basketball they're
just as far back as here's the thing you want to know how you want to talk about parody in the NBA
toronto and detroit are both the same number of games back of first place
you with me so far yes toronto has 11 more wins than detroit and they're the same number of games
back in the division by the way detroit on an eight game skid right now they are 23 back on the
bulls Chicago now five and a half back on the pacers the pacers three and a half back on cleveland
now two and a half back on millewa k who apparently will now not have a rod as an owner
that took a weird turn today uh in the southeastern the washington wizards who are staying in
washington dc they are not as well as as well as the capitals yep they are 28 and a half back they're
a four and a half back of shot the hornets are 15 back on it land of the hawk six back on the he
the heater now three back on or lando luckily or windows on kind of a two game skid so my any
can gain some ground in the western comfort specific division the golden state warriors
seven games out of first place right now which probably means they're at least in contention
to play in they are two and a half back on the lakers the lakers are currently a game and a half
back on sacrameno sacramenos a half game back on phoenix and phoenix is two and a half back on decay
bears gonna take you on a sea cruise in the southwest division sanitonio spurs they're 27 and a half
back but victor running it too far away i feel like we should just adopt the smooth sailing for the
clippers Alex with breaking news i have five of eight of my elite eight still still up here cool
give me just one second gentleman i was getting a phone call i need to text on
no worries i didn't want to call you out saying that you were missing any of your elite eight but
wanted to make sure to relate the information that's that i've looked up but that's the beauty of
what we do yeah we have it's one of those things it doesn't matter how bad your bracket is it is
the best thing in spring and i am including opening day it's just fun yeah no because you can do all
the research in the world and done in the first round that's the beauty of sports and what i
love right now is i'm also running a bracket for my company with over a dozen people in it
and the person who's in first literally was just looking up what the mascots were and which one
she liked i love it what the way b and t used to do it they wouldn't do brackets what they would do
is they would just get an envelope and in that envelope there'd be like nine teams
and the better your combination of teams did the better you did in the contest that's cool so
that i mean you want to talk about absolutely random
because i did that all right so by the victor uh when bin yama even though the spurs are 17 and 56
right now he is on average a full block ahead of the rest of the league in the stats
he is a great defensive player but right now he's just a stat pattern because the spurs are doing
nothing for at least a year or two and give give him some time they are a seven game back on
Memphis the grizzlies now 13 and a half back on houston houston houston houston six back on
dallas the mavericks now a game back on fly falcon did you see the alley hoop dunk that Zion
Williamson had the other night he literally had to reach this far back to get the pass and still
came through on the dunk it was one of those alley hoops that makes you get out of your chair and go
oh it was gorgeous i will say this as much as i hate the nba they have some of the most
impressive and phenomenal athletes on the planet and Zion Williamson and a number of others
are not human they are just not they're either superhuman or alien i am not sure which you know
calrypton junior do you know what he said you know the iron man i've met him a couple of times yeah
yeah he said you know he got in the shape every year for spring training he played basketball
huh that's why he had a court he had an indoor court at every one of his houses yes
and i've said it a thousand times i'll say the thousand more the alley hoop is the prettiest play
in sports period when executed properly it is my favorite plan sports have you seen the supercut
of yokiches assists on alley hoops because that is a boy sorry but i will be looking for it so
mini spoiler alert or just to be informative one of the reasons that yokich succeeds so much
as a big man is that he has fake shots that he works on with his teammates so what they
look like shots which means the defenders can't go up for them but his teammates know that they are
so there's just a supercut of him like doing no look sky hooks so they look like shots and him
his teammates just slamming them home it's amazing he is one of the most complete players i've seen
in the indian years i can't wait for him and look at a beyond one team that's i just want that to
happen because they are the perfect inside out and that's why that country is one player away from
domination in internet international is this the most in-depth NBA talk we've done in jesus yeah i think
it is i really do think it is because we haven't gotten gotten any uh Jordan LeBron debates because
i don't think there is the debate with us in in the north west division the portland trailblazer
32 games out there 10 back on utah utah is 21 and a half back on oklahoma city let me reiterate
oklahoma cities in the middle of the pack they are tied with the timber wolves they are both a half
game back on denver right now let's go to your playoff picture if the playoffs started today
here's what they look like in in in boston mill walkie new york cleveland orlando indiana
in the red zone if you will Miami philly chicago Atlanta
the brooklyn would come next but they're five and a half games back i don't see anybody else
getting into that bracket at this point okay in the western conference above the red line denver
minnesota okc they cleapers fly pelican and the and the mavericks in the red zone phoenix sacramental
the lakers and golden state now houston is a game behind golden state but utah's like nine
games back so the only team that really has a shot to change things would be houston houston houston
okay let's get into the nhl boys nice
but what i didn't know i didn't click the right thing so it would already be there but that's
cool because we're right there now there it is in the eastern i'm talking about on my screen
over here that gives me the stats in the Atlantic division are we is this the end of this
regular season i think we're close we were talking about being a couple weeks away weeks ago
72 they play 82 just like the NBA so we got 10 live okay uh good in the lake division the
montreal canadian's so close there's an interesting take it was a toothless kibbecker
uh they are actually tied with odorwa but they are both 33 points out of first place
they are both uh seven points back on the soboraz the soboraz are uh six points back on
detroit detroit is now uh in and in and in and a 12 back on tampa bay tampa base two back on
toronto toronto is now eight back on florida but florida now two back on boston after going nuts
there for about a month it's kind of cooled off for them a little bit don where we going
that's a point thank you sir the columbus blue jackets are terrible i'm sorry that was perfect timing
with him just casually bumping the laptop that made it look like an earthquake of the metropolytes
april 18th i think is the last day of the regular season thank you sir all right uh the columbus blue jackets
are 42 points out of first place but there's a reason they are 14 back on dawn's beloved penguins
the pens are now three back on the islanders islanders only a point back on new jersey who is five
points back on the washington who's staying in washington the capitals are a point back on the
flyers the flyers now uh five back on 15 back on carolina carolina's three back on the rangers the
rangers have hit the century mark kids and they have clinched a playoff spot in the western conference
central division chicago the black hawks there only you know 52 points out of first they are
18 back on arizona did you see the thing for the the coyotes game the other night
i thought you were going a different direction i was going to say there were some special guests at
the black hawks game the other day oh no so the the coyotes have a kid whose dad played for the coyotes
okay his very first game gets two goals his dad gives him the second his first goal puck at the
post game presser which is awesome that's also interesting trivia point he is the first native
arizona to play for the coyotes that's cool but that was kind of neat too yeah not exactly a lot
of ice in the desert oh you know uh let's see arizona 12 back on the wild the wild from you back
on st. Louis st. Louis now 10 back on Nashville Nashville fourth in the division and they have
90 points sir yeah that's a tough division they're four back on Winnipeg the jets are now
three back on Colorado that the by the way did i mention the Dallas stars are on a five gain
heater and our one point from the century mark nice in the pacific division the san Jose sharks get
ready they are 58 points first point so what you're saying is the shark tank has a new meaning
maybe i'm just mad that we didn't think of that sooner welcome parent contrast here in a minute
they are 12 points back of anaheim the ducks are 19 back on Seattle who's tied with Calgary
they are both 15 points back on Vegas Vegas in fourth at 86 points right now they're a point
back on the kings the kings three back on Edmondson Edmondson eight back on van koe ver
van koe ver two points from the century mark i think i that's one of those cities in the world i
cannot wait to visit well really you could have you you might you if everything works out weird you
might have five teams with a hundred points or more in this school if the playoff started today
here's what it looks like with your with your wild card rangers boston florida carolina turonto
tampa philly washington did not see that coming at 81 in the western conference dallas van koe ver
colorado winnipeg edmonton nashville la and vagus
vagus squeaking in at 86 points by the way they have it over here nashville on a six game here as well
all right boys are we ready for america's favorite game show i'm sorry what north america's favorite
game show there we go because it's time to once again play what's the goal differential for the san Jose
don go i get say negative 125 125 for dawn Alex that's a good one that's what i was thinking too
i'm gonna say maybe they played a little bit better afterwards i'm gonna say minus one
thirteen the san Jose sharks have played 71 games they are sixteen forty seven and eight
i feel like i'm way too long
four points oh they are ten twenty one and four at home
there's six twenty six and four on the road they are currently on an eight game skid
i was totally wrong in the that are last in their division
chicago currently is at minus ninety seven montriol
don that's your cue
he's not your cue
it's all three of all i was supposed to do it once no no every time you know what you know no
no two two two we've had two we've had there are other things that that has been the rule so
he did it to me he did it to me fat thing of course he did
matriol minus forty nine columbus at minus fifty nine
the san Jose sharks
who have a goal differential almost fifty worse than the team they trail in the division
being the anaheim ducks oh god
currently a goal differential of minus a hundred and thirty three
oh i love this game
realize my grandmother was playing tender for them
a hundred they they have given up oh god this is going to be bad
they have given up
forty more goals than van cuver has scored
okay wait we we have to do this one are is van cuver the highest scoring team
or is there ones that make it's i'm looking currently oh no you're better oh dear
holorado and dallas have scored eighteen goals less than san
Jose has given up
so what you're saying is if there was a team in the nhl that was just versus san
Jose they would be the highest scoring team on the planet uh let me see who's the closest to them
the closest team with goals scored to them in the league right now because they've scored a
hundred and fifty eight goals Chicago's only ahead of them by two yeah but Chicago actually plays
defense well and their their goal differential is thirty six points better
god bless hockey oh the greatest sport on earth
well then and then we're not going to have any form of north america's favorite game show for
probably about six weeks because now we have to go back to baseball and we don't even track that
until probably may that is true but then it's no longer north america's favorite game show
well no modern april april teens last day it's a month into three four weeks into
yeah based warming there might be a team that bad you never know well we have the
Orioles like negative a hundred within the first two months a few years ago i remember that
and thinking what the guy don't have the buzzer want to talk about a couple of quick things

big fan of that facility uh so that we've got that coming up there's a lot of things coming up
stay by the channel man because you're just you're you're gonna miss stuff if you don't
because we're going a lot going on before we even get away from sports we're also less than a
month away from the NFL draft god lord yeah there's a lot coming the draft my thing with the draft
is it makes me get my hopes up and i just it just kind of makes me sad because then i'm like
ah i gotta wait now now see here here's here's what i love about it though everybody has hope
at the draft yeah everybody has their next great player at the draft and it's up to them to
execute and it's nothing but feel good to me i'm not saying i'm not saying if i had the
opportunity to go to the first round i wouldn't because i think that would be a lot of fun
it was but i know you did i i know i did not but i just i always go back to i just come
off a business trip and i was at a local restaurant picking up dinner on my way home
and i just happened to be there when Dallas had their first pick and some guy at the bar was like
we're gone in the Super Bowl it's the first round the god bless you
all right i was ready to join me thanks to streaming every draft day i do watch the underrated
classic of from Kevin Costner draft day that does a great film i love that film great film
uh the going into television talk the golden globes now have a house for the next five years
oh wow it will be on cbs got a five oh i thought you were talking about a physical venue
let's talk oh no you've always got the venue they just didn't have
with because the sag remember the saggo wars were on Netflix this year right t and t
didn't true apple tv has renewed the last thing he told me for season two that was a limited
series that they're now expanding on so you got that which is nice and
Alex did you see who's going to be guest starring in season two of shrinking
i did not that would be one Roy Kent well he came up with the show i'm not surprised
for me he will be bright gold scene will be a guest star on season it is his baby so i am not the
least bit surprise there but you know what more bread gold scene is always good bread gold
steam i'm a big fan if you i can't wait for him to see carcules with time to pump up so
if you are a big fan of seeing a fandom and things that nature the anime macros which has been around
forever it has a new home will be on the disney pluce all of it except two episodes which will be
Japan only exclusives which will be a super dimension fortress mac macros which i believe is the
original the first pilot and the movie macros do you remember love there's some issues
some rights issues with those two but if you live in japan you will be able to see those but nowhere
else speaking of disney plus how do you feel seeing some of the things that's on there now
like what so there's a lot of fx properties a lot of i'm trying to choose my words delicately
less family friendly material than was previously on thanks to the impending merger to one potential
streaming service between hulu and disney plus i'm not shocked but i just i watch what i watch
well that's exactly where i was going but okay that's the one that they've had front and
center from the jump with that and all i could think was oh
show them no commercials let's go well other things on that same network
oh what were you saying are they because we have a yearly plan with disney plus
mm-hmm i still haven't seen where we'd at we could get a monthly thing of hulu for like
nine dollars a month you know i'm saying but worry paid 13 because we got the premium disney
right is your thing where we could pay a yearly thing also to add hulu because i don't think
there's a possibility i don't know i i think there was at one point but i believe all of that has
gone into a pause until they figure out exactly what that next iteration is going to look like
with hulu and disney plus being connected i think they were we're we're to pay disney through
January you know what i'm saying yeah i don't i don't get the yearly
to finish what i was saying i they have had talks that they are going to offer annual plans once
they know once they know what their iteration is going to be okay
okay uh the magic box says there is an annual plan for the basic ad supported
mm-hmm so but if you if you don't want commercials they don't do annual
but you can upgrade from there into the premium yep uh speaking of other things they are related
to fx announcing today that the season premiere for season three of welcome directsum has been
pushed back to uh there we go may second okay it was originally supposed to be april
eighteen did is now may second so i have to see what happens and we're going to be watching for
dawn see if he shows up he did tell me so hope so that'll be a flip all of a sudden whoa and be

yeah yeah yeah uh i did i'm not one i don't watch trailers a lot anymore because i like going into
movies as cold as i can could not resist yesterday i watched the new bad boys trailer
i am setting bar very low oh i'm still a movie or two behind and i can't bring myself to care
i just can't i i i want to i love the originals so passionately but do i
never tell you who that movie was originally written for no Dana Carvey and Chris Farley
you see like farly or love it's one of the two to originally was written for it would have to be
farly because i had the bad boys laser disc and it talked about that on the back of it that's
still that's such a different move you know i know here's your other piece of true you do you know
what uh michael bays directorial debut was oh are we counting commercials yes i do know this but
i don't want to steal your thunder so don't remember the gout milk ads in the 80 in the 90s
oh do you want to ask it out rob yeah i'm about to i'm about to what i know i'll i'll take the uh the
contest go for it so a guy is listening to the radio go ahead oh no no i thought you were going
to be the radio host and i was going to be the guy oh no i'm just going to just tell i'm just
going to tell him okay go for it and the question is about Alexander Hamilton and as the commercial
progresses you got you see the guys like an expert on and he's getting up butter sandwich and he
gets on the radio to win money and he said and they don't know what he's talking about and they
hang up on it that was michael bay directed that and then when you watch it you're like this makes so
much sense well the artist gold tones and crazy camera angles and but on top of it it was literally
michael bays brainchild from the ground up he came up with gout milk he came up with having the guy
working in the Alexander Hamilton museum with the bullet near him and it's very dark when you
realize the material that's sitting around like oh wait that was in somebody's body but we're doing
a milk commercial yep michael bay but speaking of sequels that i am looking forward to
coming in the summer of 2025 we are getting the bad guys too that was a wonderful movie i don't
know where we go from there but i'm gonna give it here for it don't this was the animated feature
that came out about the animals that were bad and they had to be good we've got a very nice
letter from the director we did from from universal centers to blue right for that yeah
you should have it done okay so the opening is a complete homage to pulp fiction
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i think i did as well that we were getting the sequel next summer
i absolutely adored it we're getting another cat and a hat reboot
okay do you have i mean it can't be as bad as the last one have you seen who's playing the cat
no no michael mires no that would be mike mires michael mires is a different thing bill hater
i did see that i i lied i did see that and i don't know i just don't know
oh everybody got to work but for me if you want cat and a hat to work look at the formula they did
for the Benedict Cumberbatch Grinch make it animated make it more fun and allow hater to do what he
does with his voice that's how you do it we have somebody in talks to be the lead in your next
Jurassic World i did see this one and it is the scarlet joe handsome
we'll see and we are getting blood and honey three as we establish the punaverse the the
punaverse no no punaverse is great let's stick to that that's what they're calling it
i know but the craziest part is is the first one is so terribly reviewed in the second one for
god knows why it's just lighting the world on fire right now movie new releases in places you get
movie new releases to get off of news do you have a James Bond note i do not
do you know what i am alluding to i also do not okay you're alleged
this in discussions to be your next bond
i think i have as cut out or a delay because that was not really quite i'm waiting on the answer
oh okay so everything froze for me okay Aaron Taylor Johnson i heard something about that but i
didn't really look into it so i did look into it there was an early report because people want to
be first they don't care about being accurate that he was already offered the role that was
refuted but they did confirm discussions so and you know what after seeing him in bullet train and
what's going to happen with Craven i trust him let's have a kickass bond and i mean that in two
ways i love bullet train so do i i helped i love that so much and apparently from what i'm seeing
entertainment weekly headline Pierce Brosnan does endorse it so there's that well i was also leaving
that as the lead in for the movie new releases okay that's why i went to bullet train coming out
tomorrow and you can hear what all three of us think because we were all there
godzilla blank because apparently the x is silent okay that's what i read today godzilla called the new
empire i will say this we all had very different takes on that film okay give us the spectrum
without too much detail because then they're gonna have to go look and see why
that i will say that there is one piece that i didn't talk about realizing it after i published
the review that don and i are diametrically opposed on oh i want to hear about this but we're
gonna do it off here because i'll have to go click and read the reviews but you won't see it in
mind is the thing say which is that's not my job that's your job oh www.theclubhousepodcast.com
that's our website there we go man of yeah there's something in his review that i was diametrically
on the other end of and we actually talked about it in the theater oh okay i think i know what it
is then we'll talk off here yes also this week i really got to remember i got to pull these things
so i know what i'm talking about
in the land of saints and sinners carry condon is in this
as is Desmond eastwood and also
in a remote Irish village a damaged father is forced to fight for redemption after a lifetime
of sins but what price is he willing to pay in the land of saints and sinners some sins can't
be buried i miss mr. movie phone conner mcneal no yes hold on okay that's not i saw shameless ohera
and i can only see him from here up and i was like no way it's not who did you think it was
steven fairly i i thought he was using his name yes heinds is in this sorry seer seer and heinds
is it searing searing no it's i believe it's shearing okay but i thought he was passed
this maybe it was one of his last projects maybe maybe and asphalt city with uh oh that's not the
cast i'm looking for it's uh sean pen and tie share it in interesting i'll be cross as a young
paramedic assigned to the new york city night shift with an uncompromising and seasoned partner in
gene rutavski each 911 call is often dangerous and uncertain point in their lives in the line
every day to help others oh i do this uh i'm gonna screw i'm gonna screw this up i'm gonna
apologize ahead of time but i'm gonna i'm gonna say it nice and slow
gebenga akina akina akina i can never say his last name but i like him
akina gebe am i close on that
anyone viewer are you talking about akabene yes he's in this yes also in this
Catherine waterson mike tyson is in this he's he's a chief um i question yes that mike tyson at
mike tyson okay uh movies on DVD and blu ray this week the the criterion collection race is lahane
which is this i believe it's a french film all right we are when running way behind so let's uh
let's get into some things here i gotta change the things i can do the other thing
because i forgot to do this last week
it's time for the cheat podcast segment of this show where we talk about the week that was
and a little bit more because we missed last week in the sport of professional wrestling
couple of things you might need to know about tna rich swan's turn to heal
and he's joined a j francis he is now called rich homie swan
just your roster accordingly and the motor city machine guns apparently now free agents
you know what i i know where i want them to show up but it's too small upon for them
so we're gonna we'll see from what i mean some places want them both some people's want one
some places want the other so we're gonna see those works out uh if i had to guess i would think
that they wind up in a w but i want them to have a swim through nwa so they could be part of the
crocket cup speaking of which it will be in our fair berg don did you see that what's that
the crocket cups going to be in tarot oh really warning oh but there's one small problem
what's that it's may 18
we are booked that day you might want to look at your calendar yeah that's an off-air discussion
don't worry uh wwe coming out monday the documenting documentary brave why it becoming immortal
this will be a viewing quickly i'm very much looking just looking forward to seeing this
every time the commercial comes on i'm like nope not ready yet not ready yet fast forward
that can't handle this yet that's what did you have his brother in front of the bench so well done
uh there's also going to be a new show on the roco channel premiering monday as well called
wwe next gen this has been worked on for a few years john cina is involved in this
it's not tough enough
it's like a year in the life of people that come through the pc yeah uh
sheena by the way may 18th and now i remember
uh something i was we were hoping to talk about last week but some wheels got shot off we couldn't make
uh sheena basalers going to be at bloodsport it's a big deal
Alex and i have seen have their witness to this event it is insane in the best of ways yeah
and if you're into not a lot of time between fights this is the event for you heavy emphasis on
fights yeah i want to say it was the first time i was ever at a live show that at one point
raw but i looked at each other and went did he die like there's no ropes and here we go
and there was some heavy splat coming off the mat because they hit the ground rough
it's a week from today and her fight will be against one masha slam of it
so get ready for that kids uh becky lynch is now an american citizen so congratulations to becky
who's uh well dropped this week friend of the show Ricardo does have a copy of it he's gonna let me
know how it is uh Seth Rollins has hit 300 days as world heavyweight champion do you have another
note about becky i don't want to step on anything i do not okay apparently during an interview with
Chris van Ville she emphasized that she has two months left under contract oh okay so
uh other people have asked me do you think they'll reassign her or do you think she'll go to
AEW do you think i she's going to be in wwe as long as she wants to be the only reason she wouldn't
is if she gets a let's call it a a romanesque deal so that she can go shoot movies because there are
a lot of studios interested in her and i can't say i blame but her husband has hit 300 days as world
heavyweight champion as roman has hit 1300 now where's where's roman that is whole kogan the next one
yes but that's that's a couple hundred days that's that's a ways off yeah is it still okay yeah
cuz i want to say hogan's was 1500 and something i'm gonna say over three years i remember that
well then when you look at the side by side of number of title defenses it's a little there's
there's a there's a gap there it's all i'm so yeah well there always is it's a different era yeah
i mean i believe he's defended it more than the prior longest reigning champion
now we talked a few weeks ago that the new show that will be on twitter formerly now know is x
called wwe speed it debuts next week go ahead uh hogan's reign was 1474 days in 90 and 91
so he could have that by survivor series oh no his reign was in the 80s excuse me
uh but speed will debut next week and they're going to have a tournament for the first ever
wwe speed champion these will be a series of three minute matches with your favorite superstar
and uh Alex and i were actually talking about nxc battleground the other night they've
actually moved it it's now going to be june 9th in savannah, Georgia originally it was the
sunday of memorial day weekend with raw being in the same arena the next night
no word as to why because the reason at this point because that's all we got
the only the only note i have on wwe programming this week is from nxt and it's a question i want to
pose to you gentlemen pretty much a foregone conclusion this at this point that roxand pares has turned
heel yes do we see her when the time comes reuniting with corajade or do you see them
turning corajade face for that run because they do good work together both as a tag team and as
adversaries i don't think there's any crossover i i think by the time corajade is back
it will be to replace roxand as the nxt heel with roxand moving up all right don't i like corajade more
as a heel i think it she yeah she could come out as a skater bro all know that stuff but um
it's kind of like orton orn's better as a heel i think then has a face
i think he per heel i was kind of taking it back in a good way of seeing him being a part of that
prime target as they were setting up the trick mellow match for stand and deliver that he was
part of the interviewees for that i thought that was kind of cool because he hasn't really
needs things to say about that rivalry uh the the only note i really have for that one with wwe
is that punch did you see the slo-mo on this that they have been plague plugging everywhere between
becky and the fact that dom might have was supposed to step away and then turn into it
oh dear oh no he got his jaw jacked if you have not seen it go look it up off there okay uh
AEW announces the time and date for uh double or nothing and Alex had a very interesting
factoid on that that i was i'm going to let him talk about because i found this intriguing
so uh don i'm gonna i'm gonna run through this with you on speed round if you don't mind yeah
do you remember how many times double or nothing has happened so far
no enough time later okay so previous iterations it's been five this is i think i think about five
just okay yeah this will be the story when they first debuted it was in the mgm grand garden arena
don how familiar are you with vagus venues i've been i've been in the mgm before
instead okay so you you know it's tucked in the back by the monorail it's yeah it's a it's a good
arena but it's not massive it's not the team mobile center so the first couple iterations two to
three were in the mgm grand then during covid it was at daily's place because that's where they had
to run everything yeah and then they were in the team mobile arena which is the big arena in
vagus right or the nights play okay they're back in the mgm grand garden arena what is that say to you
maybe they didn't sell out too well on the mg on the team mobile or maybe team mobile wants too much
to have the same company uh so to me the reason i was looking at this they sold out team mobile
okay they sold out team mobile i think because they are hurting so badly with ticket sales
and by extension ratings take that for what you will i don't think it's the end all be all that some
people on the internet think yeah but i think they're more concerned with the fact that they're not
going to have a full house and they want to get as many people close and filled as possible because
i want to say mgm grand is about half the size if not less than team mobile so to me might be a bad
omen what are your thoughts on that don having to either having to or choosing to go to a smaller venue
it depends you know okay so let's say they get if they sold out that venue last time do it again
but they're not even selling out tiny venues for dynamite now do you think that that matters or
let let me put it this way do you think it's a smart move if they are even remotely concerned about
selling out a larger venue do you think it's a smarter move to go to the mgm grand
possibly because they can make more money that way
man i i i see where you're coming from more seats means more money inherently
i think it's a smart move for them because they've always worked best
as appearing like a super indie show too but i just i'm a peculiar that they have grown
in venue size and then suddenly for this one it's back down to the original maybe one was booked
or maybe they had a contract or maybe they you know no they literally made the choice to be in the mgm
grand i great points on i don't want to dismiss that yeah great points but they made the conscious
choice to be in the grand and maybe it's could be like for instance wrestle mania 20
it was in safe co it was in the afterdom then all of a sudden they go to
massins where a garden to bring it back to where we've gone you know and then since what
wrestle mania 23 they have all been in stadiums now you know but they did the point that's
the one to look up how long it's been in stadiums that gave that a really interesting plot
i think he's right since 23 yeah 23 but to keep in mind 20 i mean eight 19 was in safe co and
Seattle that was a full you know full full stadium it was in the afterdom in for 17 same
with 18 that was a that was a stadium two was Toronto when it it was yeah that was a bell
i know 25 was Houston i was there right but you know they did a couple more but then from 23
or whatever they've been full stadiums since yeah 25 was the number one they weren't stadiums
but they made a point to go back to massins squared garden where it all began
they kept going to have bigger venue that's true no no no that that's absolutely a great point on
so i can't i god i wanted that osprey match to be better for me
it's things are in a weird place right now well i i think the other part of that is
shabata is such a great technical wrestler and so is osprey but their current styles don't seem
to mesh as well for me well we're i mean we're just leading up to dynasty yeah and at this point all
i need is osprey danielson and i'm already on board everything else is just gravy yeah
they think they give osprey a title shot at all in and limply
you know honestly i don't think they just give him a title shot i think they give him a title win
i think dynasty you let you give the you get the belt on swerve and let him go back to
heel swerve or however being too cool whatever you want to call his uh let's call it the
n-w-o-s run of i'm a heel but i'm so above everything you're still going to cheer me
and then you have the rematch it uh that double or nothing so that you can close that out
and you could start to build for all in yeah because then you you have him solidify the rain
at double or nothing because the only thing you really have before all at that point would be
forbidden door yeah yes i believe that happens um but then you can have him feud with hangman to
further cement himself as a title person and have no crossover with osprey they probably set up a
summer title contender tournament like they like to do and let osprey just run through that the way
he did the g-1 when we were there even though we watched him lose to lance archer in the opening
round and all i thought was well there goes my pick for the winner yeah uh april 6th collision will
start at 11 30 p.m. eastern because they're saying because of an nc double a game i think there's
another reason but that's okay uh ring of honor billy starks and queen aminata will be in the
finals of the women's television title tournament at supercard next friday nice and hikaru shita will
challenge athena at supercard as well that should be a good yeah that'd be fun
anything else in them before we do the plugs you know it's been a while since we've been on air
so it feels like there's a lot i just want to let everybody know yes we heard the word that
dwayne said at the end of raw we it's not worth discussing other than just and i don't know if i
said it on air when we were talking about it but being at smackdown and just watching everybody in
production cringe anytime he came close to saying something that was less than pg 13 or more than
bd 13 and i'll say it again like i can watch a movie and go okay this person's playing a role i can
buy in i can't this this heel run it's not clicking with me it's just not and he's still acting that's
the thing you can film he can be a villain in the film not a problem but him being a villain in
wwe is too hard since he's been so popular and he's always been the rock for the last 15 years
he's always been a good dude now and but the other part about it is i feel like there is more
credence to your point on this one rob because i don't know if you saw this report from becky about
ru her daughter being like oh he's being mean and things like that and to assuage that she got
to meet Maui and he even saying you're welcome to her yeah it's like how do you be that much of a
villain and balance that it we get it we're in we're we're aware that it's all an act but still
it still has to sell me and and and to to borrow a phrase that i have used in prior times i don't
agree with jim cornet on a number of things that he says but he's not wrong all the time it's he's
right what he's saying on this one oh no no i'm just referring to him talking about protecting the
business even if somebody knows what the business is yeah and it's you can't do both and expect to be
believable or solidified or anything and i want to say entrance alone worked a lot better on
the smaller scale set it actually did but i wonder if that was more the the timing of it
because they had the lightning hit the fog and him entering as kind of the villain appearance
but i also noticed they asked him to walk faster than you normally did because of timing
well let me kind of say let me if i cannot uh what i'm doing what that's all right um so he came in as
the rocky try to be a baby face it didn't work he came at then they made me heal that got him going
known i don't think anybody will dispute that okay but when he was a heel then he was that kind of
cocky heel it's like i'm later the nation he gives everybody roll elections but then gives
you know hit the one guy poster of him you know what i'm saying he gave Farouk a poster of a poster
painting of himself yeah he didn't know Dwayne Johnson and that's the difference we know Dwayne
Johnson now and it just doesn't it doesn't when he's doing heel things it doesn't come off to me
as effective because we know Dwayne Johnson back in those days because and i've always said he and
Randy had the exact same trajectory third generation superstar comes in kind of a baby face
doesn't really work goes away comes back with a faction turns heel and now we're off to the moon
but we didn't really know who rocky was back then and that's and i it shouldn't make a difference to me
but this version of this character is not resonating to me and and i also need the people that
are be like oh no it's just the next step of hollywood rock and it's like if i'm being totally
honest all he would rock didn't feel like a villain to me sure he was the outsider on some level
but he was still the rock this is trying to be a full blown villain and when you're that much of a
real life face well and then you add add to the add to that the rock concert he was full blown face
for two thirds of that promo yeah and i understand like Memphis is where you started and i get that
do that off air because that's not helping so you as a heel you did five minutes at the end of
heel stuff and you were still already too over it wasn't going to matter in my opinion it began in
the Memphis and say hey i started here blah blah blah but man i'm glad i got out of this place
exactly you're a hundred percent right done and my thing is okay so he's trying to be an evil
villain he was just an egotistical heel when he started turning heel like i'm saying with the poster
give me the Rolex and he gets to meet him running out of town too he did all the right things as a
heel because again we didn't know but here's a problem is that ordin has gone face heel face heel
but when he becomes a face he doesn't get him such a lovable face who could get anybody to laugh
and he could jab at anybody and insult them and everybody will love it it's the rock being look
he's a great guy we love him blah blah blah but you know so ordin can go back and forth he can
be a great guy get a little thing but it's just that kind of you always do he has that streak
with the rock versus ordin everybody knows he really doesn't have that streak you know what i'm
saying and so he'll try to be a villain villain doesn't work but can can i tell you to me what the
difference is where how many press interviews or videos of things do you see ordin in how many
times have you seen Duane Johnson give a guy his truck at a movie premiere or he bought his mama
house or he bought Tamina a house to me that's the difference like when Randy's interviewed you get
Randy Orton but it's not Randall Keith Orton the guy the everyday guy he knows how to keep it
between the lines Duane to where he is in his career he doesn't have that option he is out there
promoting things to get people to go to and it's that which is and maybe and it should it shouldn't
matter to me I should be able to watch professional wrestling and go I can buy into this and I just
I can't and I can't tell you why yeah we have breaking news live to rock wall Texas
down goes Arizona to Clemson there will be no home team in the final four chick McGee did call that
this morning Clemson shoots lights out and winds up winning by five all right let me say this kind of
one thing though now that we've really got to know the undertaker okay now that he's going to
know Mark Calloway Calloway you can't make him if he was able to wrestle again which we know
basically it's done you can't make him that evil heal because everybody knows same thing with
Duane but here's the thing Duane does a lot of promotion and he's that really out of the business
versus Randy's just doing wrestling wrestling wrestling drain will do a movie a movie you know
good morning America stuff like that because he's doing Hollywood and stuff like that too you know
and I think after that Hollis fame speech with Mark Calloway yeah I have Mark Calloway for the
rest of time and I'm okay with it because I like it oh yeah it's you'll be hard to make him the evil
undertaker that you're absolutely right you're absolutely right on that anything else gentlemen
now just I find it interesting that we're trying to lead from the final boss into just
basically replacing the mr. McMahon character with this that's literally what we're trying to do
