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 before we get into pop culture uh the texas pinball festival was weekend before last absolute blast had a great time uh check my instagram for all the pictures and my thoughts on all the new tables and a couple of classic tables i actually saw

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 he cocked on the voice has announced who your mega judge will be this year with the call that your mega mental the last year it was reba this year going to be the key thurban so and two there was uh there was an act on the voice that there was a trio called worth the wait two-thirds of them have now tried out for idle hmm so you got that going for you and are they in gold worth their weight in gold just removing the banner in case anybody wants to uh shout out at egg boonu for that one and congratulations to Seth Meyers this

jesus's uh as he was sent to the cross they're going to be showing that movie right after the eclipse because apparently it's the only film ever done during an actual eclipse oh that's cool i read that today i'm like that's kind of fascinating a quick note to confirm your uh statement earlier it was on disney plus was cancelled for quote cost cutting oh okay despite her with chronicles so you were right movie news i don't have this other movie they should show lady hawk good flick good flick you have to point out the eclipse 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.
