The Clubhouse – Episode 39

It is 703 on the east coast. It is 403 on the west coast. It is the 20th of May in the year of our Lord 2018.

It is season 8, episode 39, 442 times this voice has welcomed you to the clubhouse podcast live every Sunday night, 7 Eastern for Pacific, your one stop shop for all things pop culture. My name is Rob, I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast, and not only do we have new toys, we are back home. The first in-studio show that wasn't a pay-per-view, we've done in a very, very long time.

This is our busy season and we want to thank everybody, whether you are part of the show, whether you came out and saw us at a live remote, whether you listened back to the shows and gave us feedback, we've had so much fun the last month, we're finally back to Abnormal for a week, because we're taking next week off, it's the holiday, I need everybody to enjoy the holiday weekend with their families. My name is Rob as I've said, but I am not alone, sitting in the co-host chair as he tends to do as my co-host, and a man that actually has a laptop in front of him should he choose to use it, he has chatted, welcome sir, boy I was getting homesick, it was getting kind of crazy out there for a minute, yeah it was, see next time is the official fact checker of this show, and a man who now has a reminder that every day is Rusev Day. You may know him as Fondongo, but his mom and even Don Ford, I'm going to call him Don Ford, welcome sir.

Hey I might take that to my new work cube, because I got the brand new job, starts this week, right? New position, I start tomorrow, that's right, congratulations sir, I'm all the stuff going on, that's why I can play the viola at the big wedding yesterday, they wanted me to show up and play, but what to do job, I just can do it. You'd realize that our fact checker is Walter Mitty, you realize that.

Rounding out the days is the newest member of the cast, and a man that has given me another gift, does Don know yet? No. Okay so Don's not going to know until the money in the bank, Chad knows, because I don't want anybody else to know, it's all money in the bank, he is Alex, Chad just happened to be there when we moved out in the open and we couldn't show it.

And now I'm confused as to what that is, and I have no idea. The other thing you bought, oh that, yeah that's going to be fun, yes it will be, a little bit more gain there, yeah please, please, because I need to hear myself, no you're right where you want to be right now, all right there can go louder, I have not listened back to backlash yet, I'm planning on doing it this week, these last couple of weeks have been kind of a bear for me, and watching it was bad enough, I know, and I think that's part of it, I don't want to be reminded of what that pay-per-view was. I'm glad I was at the diff, no believe me, we want to send a quick shout out though, yeah we love the diff, friend of the show Dave Scott, who was at the diff with his Jurassic Park Jeep, Dave, thanks for doing that, and Dave also came out last weekend for us, we didn't realize that we got to the Real Alwell Film Festival that they were doing a Jurassic Park theme, and so Dave brought the Jeep out for a little while as the kids were getting there, and Schubert dressed as a T-Rex, was a thing, but thank you Mr.

Schubert, thanks to his mom, Patty Schubert for having us out last weekend, we had so much fun, and got some inroads made that maybe we're going to have some of the kids help out with New Need Who Need Sleep coming up Labor Day weekend, there's a lot of stuff going on, we can't talk about it yet, but stay by the channel the first full week of June, we've got some really cool stuff to tell you about, so stick around for that, alright, let's see if we can remember how to do this here, but we want to go to high school and everybody, that Real Alwell was a blast, a great time, one time, having to, I got a new laptop last weekend, and it's wanting to restart this thing, and I'm not willing to do that yet, because, and now it's not telling me, it's not letting me do what I want to do, so it's wanting to restart, and we're right in the middle of the show, and I can't restart this laptop, even though it'll happen quickly, I just want to set it to do it later, just tell this thing that you're not the boss of me, and that's right, and shout out to Microsoft for the Surface Book 2, this thing is pretty dog-on-sweet, I'm not going to lie, I for one welcome our future robots, and I got, I'm now, we'll talk about all that later, but let's get into some NASCAR kids, because it was all start a week in for NASCAR, they're at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, currently located in Pekipsi, New York, not a lot of people know that, you sure is, no, if I wasn't sitting on this steel chair, it'd be going upside your head right now, we might make a perfect NASCAR logic, I mean, with their rating system, I'm sorry, they're what, keep trying, keep trying, the rating system, how many can I miss it? Alright, so your top 10 finishers at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the race was last night, by the way, so the race has been over for a while, okay, I wasn't like they just finished. Top 10 finishers, in fifth place in the number 95 Chevrolet, starting in 17th, finishing in 10th is Casey Kane, starting in 7th, dropping to 9th by the end of the race in the number 18 Toyota, Kyle Bush, starting in 20th, winding up in 8th, in the 47 Chevy, make sure you get your hash browns with the AJ Almond Dinger, starting in 16th, winding up in 7th, Kyle Larson, attorney at law, in the number 42 Chevrolet, 7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x7x, whatever they're calling the, I think it's the monster energy cup champion, starting in 11th, winding up in 6th, number 48 Chevrolet, Jimmy Johnson, Chase Elliott, the new Sheriff in town, starts in 21st and winds up in 5th, nice move by him, in the number 9 Chevrolet, number 11 Toyota, starts in 14th, winds up in 4th for Denny Moons over my hamlin, Joey LaGano, in the bronze metal position, starting in 10th, starting in 19th place, finishing 2nd, Daniel Suarez.

I'm going to do something to make this segment entertain you know the worst, the funny part is that tells you how long it's been since we've been in studio, that just broke Chad. Okay, hey, by the way, that Charlotte thing is like Dallas and Arlington, it's actually in Concord, North Carolina, not Charlotte, but you can run, you can run, I'm just, hey, technically, he did check the facts, what is it, what is it, what is it, dead horse smell in this room right now, I'm pretty sure it's the Taco Bell, got let it go, great, don't you dare, is that the great capital of the world? So Daniel Suarez starts in 19th finishes in the silver metal, winning the race, starting in 4th, staying in that top 4 to win the race in the number 4, 4th is Kevin Harvick, a guy who at once one time was sponsored by Sonic, I believe his rookie year, every time I think of Kevin Harvick, I think of his commercial, there was a sonic commercial, but he kept changing hats, he's not how to do that, so they get all their sponsors in, but it was different sonic specials on the hats.

Oh, good lord, seriously, that wasn't a bit, it was a bit, it was a commercial, a bit that actually happened, but all right, so let's go to your playoff standings at this point, if the playoff started today, the odd man out would be Austin Dillon, he's 262 points behind the leader, but he is only 26 points back on Ricky Stenhouse Jr. I still think he's, that's a character from Talladeganite's and nobody's telling anybody, right, Stenhouse is one point behind Chase Elliott, the new sheriff in town, or is he turning a live loss crack, he is five points behind Alex Bowman, that's really good at archery, oh I'm sorry, wow, I did not even, Stephen, if you listen back to this show, you have now created the funniest moment that this show has seen in a long time, and with that tweet, Stephen wins, that was a text message, I was about to say dude, did you get a drop board put on the dead guns? No, I almost got one today though, now that I have the surface, it frees up my iPad, I think I'm going to turn my iPad into a drop board, that was epic, what did he say?

I think he just brought my life, what did he say? It didn't matter what he said, don't worry, listen back to the show, we're moving on, and I'm telling you, he asked me a question, I don't know what he's referring to, and I said, and you just broke the show, wow, that was fantastic, that was perfect, time that any better? No, I don't even know where I'm at right now, where's Bowman, he's 14, he is, oh, greatest NASCAR segment ever, well it wasn't exactly a high bar, but if we go to TV talk and Archer comes up, I hope to God, he does it again, now you're hoping for it, I know it's not going to happen, even if we try, it'll miss, I can't even, I'm done, let's just move on, it's NASCAR, we're going through, Bowman, Bowman, okay, so Bowman's in 14th, he's 16 points behind Eric Jones, and Jones is one point behind, seven times, seven times, seven times, seven times, seven times, seven times, seven times, seven times, champion Jimmy Johnson, Johnson is 50 points back on Kyle Larson, Kyle Larson is 23 points back on the man, they call him the stone Ryan Blaney, at least we do anyway, Blaney is 11 points back on Martin Truex Jr, who is four points back on Denny Moons over my hamlin, hamlin is six points back on Clint Bowyer, okay no more text messages, seven points back on Kurt Bush, Bush is three points back on Brad Keselowski, here's, Keselowski currently in fourth, he's 107 points back, in third is Kevin Harvick, who's 19 points back, there's almost 100 points between four and three right now, Harvick is seven back on Joy Lagano and Kurt Bush is 12 points up in the deal, okay that could be the longest point standing segment we've ever done, next week, let's hope so, now next week remember you've got two big races going on next week that happen on the same day, because you have the Indianapolis 500, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the brick yard is what they like to call that, the Coca-Cola 600 also takes place, I don't know if we've got anybody racing in both this year, not that I'm aware of, a lot of years you'll have guys fly from one to the other and do both races in the same day, and that'll be next Sunday at six o'clock Eastern, speaking of next Sunday, we're going to take next week off, Steven said, he just texted Alex and said cheap eat, next Sunday we're taking the week off, I want everybody to go enjoy the holiday weekend with their families, because it is Memorial Day, and a three day weekend that cannot come too soon, I mean, and it's not like anything bad has happened, we've just been so full throttle for the last two months, like yesterday, didn't even leave the house, I actually had plans, but those plans fell through, so I stayed home, and by the way, we talked about date earlier, we've got to finish that story, tonight they are filming, he's taking the Jeep to a filming for a food network show called Dallas Cakes, and we'll let you know when that airs, so you can see David and the Jeep, we're so proud of our dude, that's really cool, excited for him, all right, all right, can we get back on track here, talk some television headlines, so last week while we were waiting for the kids to show, we talked about Claim Crawford and lethal weapon parting ways, and you had said something about a possible female lead, not happening, not happening, nope, oh Blaney wants to do both races next week, the stone, it's going to be Sean Williams Scott joining the cast, so you got that going for you, but that's an outfit, but he's not really replacing him, he's joining the cast is what he says, he's not playing Martin Riggs apparently, a rest of the development season five is going to be broken into two parts, so if you're a fan, speaking of Netflix, interesting announcement made last Sunday, because last Sunday was the final episode for season one of the Joel McHale show with Joel McHale, they picked up five more episodes, but they're all going to drop the same day, July 15th, I'll watch them all, what's the format of that show, it's the soup, without 80 strings, so it's not for the kids, well, if you really want to get technical, the soup wasn't really good, yeah, but there was still at least some broadcast standards, yeah, so wow, I'm imagining that, I very much enjoy, yeah, I was about to say I'm sure you're probably on the floor, I very much enjoy that show, let's see, project one, plan, project one, project one, runway is returning to bravo, so adjust your DVRs accordingly, didn't know it was gone, designator survivor, we talked about that getting, can I not talk today, designated survivor, it's okay, you're just got canceled by ABC, maybe going to Netflix, Netflix talking, fantastic, pre-4th loves that show, whether or no, hopefully she's listening, but if she's not, let her know, might be going to Netflix, let's see, so this epic, did you read this epic story this week of what they put an order in for?

I don't, okay, so I'm a week behind on everything right now, I watched a week full of TV yesterday, oh god, so all the season finale's from this week, I haven't watched yet, and of course anything that airs today, I did watch last week Simpsons and Family Guy, because those season finale's are tonight, and the reason I'm saying this is because another season finale happened this past week, and I don't know what happens, I don't know what can happen that would wow me, but epics has ordered another Batman prequel series, that will be called Pennyworth, yeah, will not be related to Gotham, it's not going to be related to Gotham, but it's going to focus on Alfred's time as a special forces officer and then working for Thomas Wayne, yeah I'm out, can we learn anything, and this that part is I love everybody involved with Gotham, I'm a huge fan of everybody, especially Drew Powell, because he's a big fan of Bob and Tom, and he was actually on the show Thursday, that show is such a mess, it's a literal mess, it's absolutely unwatchable, now let me ask you this, the show loss that was on a few years back, never watched an episode, it was supposed to only be a three year three season thing only, then ABC said no we're going to extend it and that's when they start jumping the shark, was Gotham only supposed to be a couple season thing, and then Gotham isn't even what it was supposed to be to begin with, yeah, because the original concept of Gotham was it was going to be just about Jim Gordon and his days in the GCPD, well out of the gate they didn't get the ratings, they felt they wanted out of it, be careful when you open that thing, it's already been opened, okay, but they panicked and so they just started writing different stuff and putting villains in and completely screwing up the timeline, Ben McKenzie is a good enough actor to carry that thing, and Donald Logue as his partner works even better, absolutely, but they panicked and they've screwed everything up so bad, it's nothing but a hot mess, yeah, they jumped the shark about three times already, jumped the shark in episode four, yeah, I think what they were originally going for was showing like your biggest hero in Gotham was Jim Gordon and they were going to stretch that out as long as possible, until it got to the point where like okay we're handing it off to the caped crusader now, my Batman bias is the only thing keeping me watching this show, but just I love Batman, I couldn't hang, I want to say halfway through season two I bailed, I was like this is awful, I got two words for you, fish, mooney was pretty much the end, she's been gone since season two, she hasn't come back yet, but I would come back delayed spoiler, I would come back and try to give it a look and I'm like no they haven't fixed this, and they're broken, and they're screwing up the whole Rochelle ghoul thing, and well, Arrow did more than its fair share of that, we're going to talk about that in here in a minute too, let's see what we got going on here, but Gotham did get it's last and final season, yes, next season is the final season, good, but in one, 22 episodes I think they said, it's over, I missed the amount of episodes, I just know that it's the end, yeah, I think that's what Drew Powell said on Friday on top of Tom, so, do you have anything on the run to you about the NBC Chicago series? I haven't heard anything about that, what's going on? They've all been renewed, but they're apparently all moving to Wednesday, they're going to air them all, I like that though, because they're all interconnected anyway, so why wouldn't you put them together?

You've got survivor, empire, and the Chicago shows all airing on the same night, and Empire was on Mondays, no, it's on Wednesdays, airing at the same time as survivor, when survivors are running, there's only two shows that matter on Wednesdays, the Goldbergs in Riverdale, that's the list, and I'm two episodes behind on Riverdale, because I forgot about Riverdale on my list, is there no transition on the survivor cast for next season in our wrestling talk? I don't know, there's a wrestler and I know somebody's been threatened and erupt spoilers, oh no, there's already some spoilers that got thrown out in the face of a lawsuit, yeah, I heard about that the other day, on this season of the season, I just wrapped last week, the upcoming season, yeah, they just wrapped shooting like last Tuesday, oh no, I didn't know they had a wrestler involved, oh no no, that's that season, should I just say it now? Go ahead, it is Johnny fill in your blank, Johnny Mundo is on the next week, yes he is, a man who was elected class president and he didn't even run it, yeah, Cody and I lived on that day for like two years, well the other major story tied in with the whole Chicago thing was that Monica Raymond has left the show, has left Chicago fire, okay I got nothing, well I mean she's, I mean I'm not important to you, but I don't know, she was there from the very beginning and they had a really weird way of dealing with her character leaving the show quote unquote at the end of this the season finale, so I guess they kind of put a button on her career on that show, she just walked away from it, Dreamworks animations working on a new Shira series, interesting, never watched Shira was a big he-man fan, never got into Shira, but you know what, we're in right now, we're in this women empowerment thing on the board, I'm on board to do it, do it right, do it, I'm speaking of which, did you see one of the, I want to say it's he fury today, no it's the other one, the one that does the four every day, did I get before it, I want to get at midnight, I don't rip, does not rip, not rip, not shirt punch, shirt punch I think, they're doing two or T-shirts today, one's the Infinity Gauntlet, one's for Game of Thrones, and it's like, it's the Gauntlet tour on the back, it's got all the heroes listed on it, and for Game of Thrones it's all the families, that's pretty true, you do have a laptop in front of you, probably look at that, I don't know, I have to power it up, no it's powered up, it's just you know, and I also have this little, open it up, it's a little smart, that's fair, Cartoon Network doing a new Thundercats roar, I don't know how I feel about this because the last time they did this, it was, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't great, never was it, Thundercats, and the, the very how you do an Emanuel shrieky was one of the voices in that, so, it's kind of the opposite of how you want to see her, I like her, I don't like, talking as I got her on the screen, I don't care how, she speaks French, joining the Aeroverse in December, you really want to screw up continuity, sir, Batwoman, joining the Aeroverse in December, why, because they can, just because you can, and if you know, yeah, I have a better question, how, post sweeps, that's how you say hi in Indian, in Montana and the Crow, and here's how you say it's general, dawn, hi, do you, do you, do you, does somebody just hit a snooze button for you and you decide to join the conversation?

Yeah, look at them, just send me up, it's a word for conversation, yeah, yeah, yeah, the only thing on, not a lot on Blu-ray and DVD this week, very light week on releases, the only TV catch up on last week with, you know, Black Panther, but the only thing I saw TV-wise this week that was intriguing was Justice League action season one part two, still have never watched an episode, they're doing a 4k release of the Jurassic, the Jurassic series, that's not TV, sir, well, you might want to wait till we get to movies, oh yeah, that's right, for that, well, because you mentioned Black Panther, so I was, well, he said it was light, and I said it was still light, yeah, you're always in the clubhouse podcast, we promised we've done this before, all right, oh good mercy, we're gone for a month and just every, all the wheels fall off, we lose our rhythm, oh, we had rhythm and music, we could ask for anything more, honestly, oh god, that wouldn't even go anywhere, that one's just gonna sit there for a minute, 99, let balloons, I had a friend of mine say to me this week, she started listening to the show, she's like, it's like listening to a regular radio show, except more fun, she's probably gonna want to skip this episode, and let's like you points, don't worry, we'll get there eventually, all right, you are listening to the clubhouse podcast, make sure you check us out on social media, Twitter is clubhouse show, everything else is the clubhouse podcast, all three words in that order, where you're gonna wind up somewhere else, just announced this week, grace descending show, July, it's 29th, we're gonna be back at the curtain club, it's one of our favorite places to play, we're gonna be there probably about eight o'clock, you can get tickets through the end of May for $10, they'll go up to 12 after that, but you can let us know, and we will make sure that's taking care of for you, we're looking forward to another great show, we're gonna mix some stuff up, we're gonna throw some new stuff in there, this go around, so not necessarily all the stuff you've heard before, so as you, you found them, the wild stallions, yeah, that's the third one, the wild stallions tour, all right, let's go to POI, POI stands for person of interest, it is a segment we do on this show where we take a person or an entity and we debate their greatness or lack thereof, this week I think is gonna be more, I mean you guys might have some input here, but this is gonna be mostly for Alex and I, because it's something that we've been wanting to discuss for a while, and things just got kind of away from us, so as you guys know, a couple of months ago, the lovely and talented Mrs. Irvin and I cut the cable, and we have gone to direct TV now, haven't had any real major problems, I've heard people that were having intermittent service problems, we haven't, been able to watch pretty much anything I want on on demand that I don't watch live, they did roll out the DVR this week, but it hasn't reached my device yet, there are people using it, but you only have 20 hours right now in the first rollout, but it's early, it's an early rollout, but this time of year, 20 hours isn't that big of a deal, because everybody's in the season, it's an early rollout, what better time to do it, it just means now I can watch Jeopardy, you know what I mean? Because I can't, 21 doesn't do on demand, you can't get Jeopardy on demand, I can't find where to watch Jeopardy if I don't get to watch it live, which is really annoying.

Yeah, and locally NBC is like re-aligning their signal or something, like if you're doing over the air locally for NBC, you're gonna have to rescan your antenna on Wednesday I think. Really? They're changing their frequency, which I couldn't, I think it's them and cozy, because I think they're they're kind of under whatever.

I don't even know what that is. I mean I know it's got to be very comfortable, but anyway, but yeah, you're gonna have to rescan everything, so I thought that was kind of strange, I never heard of that. So do you have to have a dish or do you do a lot of gameplay?

No, it's an app, it's literally an app, and picture it as a streaming service, like Netflix. So with that, we've actually upped our Hulu subscription, because it's saving us 150 bucks a month, and we've talked about this. So we've upped our Hulu subscription by $4 a month, so I can have Hulu commercial free, because a bunch of my shows are actually on Hulu.

Like I can't watch like all of my Fox stuff except Legion, I have to watch Legion on the FX app, but they only do one commercial per break anyway. The ones that are hurting me are the CW, because they do two-minute commercial breaks five times at every show, because none of the CW stuff is on Hulu. However, one of the things I was concerned about were Ron Smackdown, but I found out that you can watch those on Hulu.

So I'm like great, Smackdown without commercials, Raw without commercials, I'm on board. Here's the thing. Smackdown, you get the entire show outside of whatever they do in the commercial breaks for they split screen, you don't get that.

Raw, you get, no, stay with me. You get a 90 minute version of Raw. Now, if you take the commercials out, when I had a DVR, I can watch Raw in two hours.

So you're losing 30 minutes of programming. And unfortunately, the test we ran had some of the best parts of the show. Well, some of them, in my opinion.

So this was, this was the, this was the Raw after WrestleMania. Wasn't it that we did this experiment? I believe it was two weeks after.

Okay, but so Alex and I did an experiment where he watched Raw on Monday live. And then Tuesday, I went back and watched it on Hulu. Okay.

And so what I was doing was I was texting him segment by segment where we were. Or was it? I know it was right.

It was the week after the superstar shakeup. Yes, it was the after man. No, it was a week of superstar shakeup.

That's right. Because the there was a segment you thought I lost. I hadn't.

So I was texting him segment by segment. Okay, I'm starting this now. I'm right here now.

We missed a squash match. Which he actually said was actually a decent match to watch. For as far as squash matches go, it did exactly what you want, which is show them being able to work.

And when it was an AOP match. Okay. Against local there was a promo segment for Baron Corbin coming to Raw.

But it was out of order. Okay. Because he was like, wait a minute.

You didn't get the Baron Corbin? I'm like, no, I got that like 20 minutes ago. That's weird.

Yeah. But the reason that you got it 20 minutes ago was because that was right after a section that you had missed. Okay.

So everything had happened later for me in the live show. The recording that we were pairing up because there was stuff cut out up to that point. Now when did this air for you, Rob?

I can get it the next day. Okay. Okay.

Everything on Hulu is a day behind. Okay. Which is really good as far as the service goes.

Because like, like, family guy, which I can watch without commercials on Hulu, it's going to drop in Hulu tonight's episode Cinthinali. It's going to drop tomorrow morning at two. So when I wake up in the morning, it'll be ready for me.

Okay. It's not like I have to wait a full 24 hours. Oh, and I can't do like into the badlands pretty much.

I have to watch the entire episode because AMC's app sucks. You get full, you do get full commercial breaks with them. But so I don't know that I missed anything earth shattering.

But I will say this, the weird thing, the weirdest thing for me raw goes faster. Even like, even without me like fast forwarding commercials, Raj just seems to be paced better. But Smackdown seems slower to me.

That's what I don't understand. I wonder who the brainchild is behind this, this whole 90. It's the same company that airs both shows.

Yeah. So I don't know why you're not getting all of raw. You know what, I'd be really interested though.

Have you ever seen that when they run the shows, like Saturday morning on Univision? On Universal HD. No, no, no.

On Univision does too. Univision. So it's the Spanish product version.

Yeah. And I'll say because Universal HD shows them back to back on Saturday nights. Right.

But at Univision, we'll show like Saturday morning and it'll be a compressed version that I wonder if that matches up better with what you have on Hulu. Probably. I bet Universal HD does too.

I wouldn't be surprised. I think it's the full three. But I just don't like commercials.

Yeah. Same here. You know.

I mean, it's kind of like the sacrifice. Now, the funny thing is when I watch Agents of Shield, I get a little message at the beginning that says, due to streaming limits, we cannot show this commercial free. So we'll show you a commercial at the beginning and a commercial at the end.

Let's just say I don't ever make it to the commercial at the end. But the Goldbergs doesn't do that. The Goldbergs I watch straight through.

That's the weird thing. So there's that. Any other thoughts that you guys have any questions you have?

Can you watch it live, though, too? Absolutely. Okay, but what certain shows like if I get in late and it's still going, like if I leave here and then like into the badlands is on and I'm 20 minutes in, I can start from the beginning.

I just still can't skip commercials. Okay, so you can go tell me to put on sand on this one. How much are you paying and are you getting paid channels like HBO and all that stuff?

Okay, so as an AT&T customer with an unlimited data plan, I get HBO free for life. So I have their top of the line package with HBO and also being an unlimited data customer, I get $15 a month off my bill. So I'm actually paying $55 a month for about 175 channels.

And that trims the, I mean, and that's really trimming the fat out of everything else because if you look at the channels, there's only two channels I'm upset I don't get. Channel 47 and nested, and that's just because of Ring of Honor. But we found out today because Alex is a member of Honor Club, we were able to download the ROH app to my my Apple TV and we're only a week behind what we were watching ROH in full 1080p, which we've never been able to do.

It was almost uncomfortable to see that. Yeah, so do you get show time to get those? Yes, those will cost you like five bucks, five to eight dollars a month each.

HBO Showtime Cinemax stars. Do you say HBO? Do you like the seven HBO channels?

No, you get two. You get HBO, you get HBO, you get HBO family. I have three because you get HBO Latino.

So you don't get all the other, you don't need them. I don't ever, I mean, every once in a while, I'd watch something on HBO comedy. But and plus, you know, if I don't get catching on HBO, I got HBO go.

Yeah, which I get free because again, AT&T unlimited data customer, you could do the HBO now, but that's like 15 bucks a month. Why not just pay five and have it on? Yeah, okay.

Yeah. But I think I'm a big fan of it. My wife has really taken to it as well.

So I'm telling you, and plus the fact that if I don't have any, I don't even have a box. I just have the, I have an Apple TV in my living room. We have a Roku in the bedroom.

That's it. I don't have to have any satellites. I don't have to have anything else.

That is so nice. Yeah, it's where everything's going at this point. But it's something that Alex and I were talking about those.

You really have to have a decent internet connection. Yeah, that's crucial. You know, Alex and I are going to take some time this week and I'm going to go out to his place.

And we're going to test it out on his system to see how the streaming is because they live out there by the lake. So I don't know if if their internet connection is going to be a solid as here because here at the house, the junction box for AT&T is literally in my backyard. So people three houses down for me don't have as strong of a signal as I do.

And I've been told that by multiple, multiple tax. Yeah, like you're really lucky because you're like right on top of the junction box. So you're going to, you're going to get all the goods first.

And you're on fiber, right? Yeah, I am on, I'm doing the AT&T, but they call AT&T fiber. Yeah, so much.

And it is phenomenal. And it's not as expensive as I would. I don't think that's an option out by me yet.

But I mean, you still might have a decent enough connection, right? That's where the fun experimenting comes in. Oh, and by the way, in case you're playing the home game of 43 days for my birthday.

So and we are, we are having some discussions about where Ragnarok will be hoping to lock that down this week. So I have an idea and some people are on board with it, but some people aren't, it's, it's a discussion that we're having because there's a lot of people involved in this thing. So any other questions where we move on, gentlemen?

No, I mean, it, it, it sounds like it's brilliant. Yeah, it's, it sounds like the smartest TV option out there. Well, and with everything going to streaming and having now seen the Apple TV and how it functions on Rob's TV, it's the first time I've actually paid attention since I am very much leaning towards getting direct TV now if it can is very simple of switching between the streaming apps, whether it's like, okay, I want to watch Netflix or I want to do the Ring of Honor app or I want to do the company network or anything along those lines, it transitions right in the TV and it's really nice.

Yeah, that sounds like a godsend to me. But I really dig and I showed this to Alex today and I think I've melted his brain because the Apple TV remote, there's a learning curve to it because it's touch sensitive. But they hooked you up with that too, right?

That came with the TV. Yeah, yeah. Well, if I've got to type in a password or am I going to email address, it's not real conducive.

If it counts for anything, it only melted the left side of my brain. I think that's the creativity. And when it, when it pulled up, my phone vibrated.

Oh, yeah, pick up my phone, tap the screen, and my screen on my, my keyboard because I have an iPhone. Uh-huh. It works as the keyboard for the screen.

So I don't have to just back that over, over, over, over click, over, over, over click. Now, mind you, I had no idea this to start because I am blind on my right side. So I'm thinking he's just typing at the fastest way.

And in my mind, I'm like, wow, he's gotten really good to this. But no, my, and then I turn and I see him holding his phone and I'm like, okay, wait a minute. China, China.

And there's actually, and there's actually an Apple remote app on the phone too. Which actually the Apple remote app to me is easier to deal with than the Apple TV remote because it's tiny. Yeah, it's like my, my Roku smart TV is got the tiniest remote you've ever seen.

And it, and it works whenever it feels like it. So I just download it and you have to buy another one. And I'm not, I'm not even, I mean, all I really used it for was turning it on, turning it off and volume control.

Well, now I've got the volume control going through my home theater. So all you need is an on button. And it wouldn't even do that.

So the beauty of the Roku remote is like you can pull up a menu where it like it shows all the tiles on your phone and like say you don't want to watch TV. You want to play your Xbox one. You hit the Xbox one tile.

It powers the TV on and goes right to that input. So I'd rather do that. Looking us up for the next segment.

So very excited. But the other interesting part that we'll have that we'll have to come back to is when I finally do try to reach out and say, hey, direct TV now, assuming all the tests go well, is whether or not they have issue with me trying to do that as a current direct TV customer in a contract. I would think they wouldn't.

I would think they wouldn't either. But now I will say the other downside, the other downside is the NFL thing. I'll be able to watch.

I'll be able to watch the local gains. No problem. I can't do red zone or anything like that because Verizon has the streaming contract with the NFL.

Oh, that sucks. I didn't even think about that. And so Alex and I were talking about it and the game.

I was like, you know what? I could just get NFL game pass. Yeah, no.

Oh, no. Let's go into that. There's two tiers.

I don't know what the difference is. $200 a year and $300 a year. No, no.

Now, if they would just, if I could pay them 20, you know, 25, 50 bucks just to give me the red zone. I'm on because I love the red zone channel. Red zone channel is one of my favorite things on God's green earth.

I told you that story, didn't I? Sitting there watching the red zone with with lovey and talented Mrs. Irvin.

We're there for like an hour and I just hear from a cross room. I just hear red zone. I'm like, yeah, I just thought it was a real high-scored game.

And I was like, the different colors in the uniform, nothing. She didn't really pay that much attention. I said fair enough.

Well, and then the other part was that is my wife. And the other part is, is he was talking about just sticking to Sunday ticket and Rob hadn't paid for Sunday ticket in a while. Holy God.

Yeah. What was the difference from what you paid for? $450.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I bailed when it hit three. Wait, $450 more than what he had already said.

Yeah, that's insanity. No, no, hell no. What did they think you're running a sports bar in your garage?

Well, have you seen the contracts they're giving these guys now? They got to make the money somewhere. Good Lord.

Oh, they're making the money. All right, so let's talk majorly baseball standings. And we're going to talk about the most important thing last.

Okay. I like how you make eye contact with me for that one on an audio medium. In the American League East, the division nobody cares about.

The Baltimore Ravens. They're 14 and 32. They're 17.

Baltimore Ravens? Orioles. Yep.

They're both birds. And they're right next. The Tarks are right next to each other.

They're 17 and a half games back. They're so bad. I don't even have to remember who they are.

Toronto is lost. That is one of the most glorious stadiums in the whole of the game, but the team sucks. Plus, Boogpal doesn't have anywhere else to be.

He just lives in the right field bloters. There are seven and a half games back on Toronto. Toronto's lost four in a row.

Toronto is a game back on my on my Tampa Bay race. Rumors of them becoming Montreal are circulating. Really?

Well, all their initial fans are dying. It's Tampa. And Tampa's nine games back.

That's true. Now, well, there are four Yankees and Red Sox. Yankees and Red Sox now tied for first place.

That's going to be fun if it stays. So in the AL Central, the White Sox, yeah, they're like one game worse than Baltimore, but they're only eight back, eight and a half back. They're a game.

They're a half game. How what is going on here? The White Sox are eight and a half back, but they're right below KC, which is nine back.

It's because they're going, the one you're looking at is probably going off of wind totals. Okay. And they're both way back because they're about seven and a half back on Detroit.

Detroit's a half game back on Minnesota. Minnesota's two back on Cleveland. Don't start Aaron Major yet.

It's only May. In the AL West, boy, your Rangers are bad. Yeah, they are.

What is going on in Arlington, sir? 18 and 30 right now. Who's left on the teet?

They're just in Ross, two in a row. They're 11 and a half back. And it's May.

They're distracted by the construction next door. Good Lord. They're seven and a half back on Oakland.

Oakland is a game back on. No Los Angeles, Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles County, California, American North America, Earth and Milky Way universe. They are a game back on Seattle, Seattle's two back on Houston.

By the way, we're we're we are going to play America's favorite game show today. Uh huh. Right now.

I forgot about that. What it looks like best in baseball is Houston, Houston, Houston. By the way, Bob and Tom, thank you for getting that stuck in my head every buddy time.

Somebody mentions Houston. Houston's plus 96 in the run differential right now. God.

I want to say you've seen that. That's best in baseball. God.

That roster is legit. Talk about trust the process. Uh huh.

Wow. Uh, in the National League, the NL West, the Padres, seven games below 500, but they're six back in the division. Uh, they are a game back on, uh, Misty's beloved Dodgers.

The Dodgers are three back on San Francisco, San Francisco, a game, the game and a half back on the Rockies. The Rockies are a half game back on the Arizona diamond backs in the NL Central. Pay attention kids.

The Cincinnati Reds are 16 and 32. Wait, huh? They get to 16.

Gee. No, they're on a two game losing streak, but they're not going to play America's favorite game show today. Let me make sure I'm right on that.

I am right on that. Oh, dear God. Help me.

Don. Yeah. Good news for you.

We're not playing the Pirates or not. Your beloved pirates are 11 games up on Cincinnati. Whoo.

You've lost three in a row. Oh, but you're tied with both the Cubs and the Cardinals right now. All three of you were only a game and a half back on the Milwaukee, uh, conflict of interests.

Yeah. And so I'll be seeing them on July 7th. Are you going there?

Are they coming here? No, no, actually, July 7th 8th on the 9th. We're going to Pittsburgh.

Nice. Perfect. Then we're going to see the Pirates two days later.

That's awesome. Just give them a fantastic face forward. Second, uh, uh, MBL, uh, mid-triple baseball game.

It's going to be in LB. Yeah, she's going to be a take your time. It's a two-hour show, Don.

Take one. She's going to be at PNC Park for the first time. We got third baseline tickets.

See the saves cut of night. I'm going to enjoy that. I'm going to have fun taking my wife to that game as you should, sir.

Alex, have a stand up. I need a win total on the Brewers. Win total of the Brewers 28.

Damn it. Yeah, I think that one's not going to work out for you, sir. No, it's not.

And that was good to the only division that matters, the national yeast. You know what? Thank God.

Have you ever had two teams that you love and they book end division? This is the case today. My beloved Marlins 17 and 29.

Is that America's favorite game show? Oh, absolutely. Okay, because they are terrible.

This team, first of all, you got to do your winning in the front end of the year because once you get to September, nobody cares because it's Dolphin's time. The Dolphins own that town. You and I both know this.

I love my Marlins. My Marlins, they are beloved to me. You are testing my patience.

They own everything from Okeechobee down. God. This team is so terrible.

Terrible. I think that the Marlins, jeeter is to the Marlins, what Hogan was, the TNA. I'm sorry.

Can we just give Don credit for a second there? I know. He actually did a good impression for the first time ever.

Don't make a habit of it, but it's pretty good. So you think he's intentionally going in to destroy them? And now we ruined it because he traded G and Carlos Stanton instead of Yankees.

You mean Mike Stanton? No, either way. I'm going old school with it.

Old school is Mike. My Marlins are seven and a half back on the Natinels. The Natinels are a half game back on neat demets.

Wait a minute, we're in the national. Come on out and beat the Mets. Yes, you.

The Mets are two back on Philly. Philly now a game and a half back on my beloved Atlanta braves who by the way, how are we that close? 28 wins right now, sir.

Two away. Are you going to explain it next week? Actually, don't, week after next.

Because we don't show now. Oh, it was going to, no, you might explain it next week, but nobody's going to be listening. So you'll understand two weeks from today.

Why I am so happy and I had nothing to do and you're welcome. I said I had nothing to do with it. So are you guys ready for America's favorite game show?

Mm-hmm. America's favorite game show. What is the run differential for the Miami Marlins?

Florida. I know I got to be and I hate that logo. I can't give you everything about that change.

At least it's not your braves. Remember what? Last year or two years ago, we had to have them on the beach.

It's early. Yeah. Talk to me in September.

When we don't find out that Ronald Acunia is actually 40. I'm speaking to you about that story on a mesquite. Was that a mesquite?

That was mesquite, sir. Wasn't that mesquite? Hi, the 25 year old plane basketball dating of 14 year old.

Wasn't that out of mesquite? Yeah, no. Well, he graduated from North Mesquite in 2011.

Oh, okay. So he was going through a school a little bit outside of the district. Okay.

All right. So that's weird. Chad, what is the run differential for my beloved Miami Marlins?

74. He's getting minus 74. Don.

Remember this is prices right rolls. 60 minus 60 for Don. Alex.

Well, I'm a Russ not with us tonight. He's at the wreck. What's Kelly concert?

Oh, well, what was the highest bid? Chad. Mine was 74.

Minus 74. I'll go minus 75. You're one of those people.

I don't want to be the Miami Marlins as mentioned. The Miami Marlins as mentioned. Oh, yeah, you're going to hurt my feelings.

I hate. I know. They are 17 and 29 as you mentioned earlier.

That's a 370 win percentage. By the way, compared to the Braves, the Braves have a 622 win percentage. Who saw that?

11 and a half back. They are 10 and 15 at home. They are 7 and 14 on the road.

Both losing records. We've lost two in a row. We're four and six in our last 10.

By the way, by the Diamondbacks, one nine in their last 10. That's why everybody's so close to him right now. Closest without going over because he played that game.

It would be Alex because the Marlins, by the way, just, Frenchman, May 20th. Marlins are at a negative 88 run tip. What?

You know the worst part is I was going to say negative 80 until I figured, you know what? This will be a guaranteed win. Here's the teams that have given up more runs than the Marlins.

Cincinnati, because reasons. The Orioles and the Rangers. And the Rangers have only given up three more runs than the Marlins.

If you would like something to add to this, did you hear the story about the Red's recent pitching extra acquisition? Mm-hmm. Matt Harvey of the Metz, the former Dark Knight.

The Dark Knights. Yes. Getting traded to the Reds for Devin Meseraco.

Actually, here's the funny part. So Matt Harvey has been having a rough go of it for a while now. And I believe his ERA was 695.

Woo! And not 0.695. That's almost 7.60.

0.95. And there was a story that came out after the trade that he had rubbed other teammates the wrong way to the point where he stayed behind in Miami after a road trip, because he had already pitched. And when he got back, he was in the clubhouse, loudly bragging about the partying he was doing in South Florida.

And a new vet on the team happened to announce to Matt Harvey across the locker room where everyone could hear, yeah, did you woo any girls with your ERA? And traded for a catcher. Okay.

A real fact that guy is 25 years old. His name's Cindy Bovier. Last time, Bovier.

Bovier. Bovier. He's like, you know, strapped ass portly, and he went to Hillcrest High School as the school he played as the high school Hillcrest 25 years old.

Exactly. I think they said that he tried to apply its skyline and somebody sniffed him out and so he went to Hillcrest instead. Who is this guy that went on?

I was hearing about this when we left a screen in the other night. And his name escapes me. His team escapes me.

He got put on injured reserve from playing too much fortnight. Majorly baseball player. I heard about that too.

What was that? Where's our fact checker on this one? You just had a 31 million dollar contract.

He's on injured reserve because of hurting his way of playing. Yeah, it was carful tunnel. It's like, you've got to be joking.

I'm saying, I don't even know what fortnight is. And I don't even want to mess with it. Because all I've heard is just these horseries that people are getting horribly addicted to it.

And you know, I want to send a shout out to a guy I saw the other day. I actually saw a human the other day recently within the last week that was playing Pokemon Go. And I said, you hold on to that as long as you can, sir.

God bless you. Godspeed. Let me tell you how thin headlines are this week.

Here's your music headlines. You know Drake is touring with Migos. That's what you got.

Oh, it's David Price. Was it David Price for the Boston Red Sox? Okay.

But yeah, music new releases this week. Man, it's a thin week for news. There was not a lot going on this week.

Let's thin pick in, sir. Sir? Yeah.

Well, you got last week for a music release was actually bad wolves who do a very fantastic rendition of zombie. By the Cranbers? Yes.

But do they yodel? No, it is. Oh, man.

Oh, man. Okay. You're ruining this.

It is updated and it is hard rock and it is amazing. Okay. But news is this week, churches with a V.

So, subverses? So, subverses, yes. They release love is dead.

Okay, but David Price from the Red Sox. Thanks for listening to the show. Don't you are kidding.

No, no, no, no. You said to find out exactly and everything that was looking good. You're about five minutes late.

I already did that, sir. And it's not like he's Skyping in. He's literally sitting across from it.

Back to Candy Crush. Dear God in heaven. The return of Huba Stank this week.

Why? You know where they got their name from? I don't want to.

They were all roommates in college. I don't want to. And sorry, I'm doing it anyway.

And whenever somebody would rip one, they would say who's buttstank and it just turned into one word in Huba Stank. And that's their musical interest. That's true.

I like Huba Stank. Somebody else knew. And the thing is that even the album is push pull.

My finger. You're welcome. Internet.

Jonathan Davis releases a solo album this week. From Corn. Interesting.

Called Black Labyrinths. Which ties into our show two weeks ago because we had Brian Hedwellch on the show. Yes, you did.

And Snow Patrol is back. If I lay here, if I do lay here. Wilderness isn't even that album.

So you want that one back? Nope. How it's going to have the same thing.

Nope, not at all. You proud of that? Dog on Stippy I am.

You're our listen to the Clubhouse podcast. Welcome to The Madness. And the sad part is this is probably one of our better shows.

Oh my god. Don't say that. Please don't.

I just, we've had so few studio shows like this year. I can't remember any of them. All right, let's get into the in memoriam.

Couple of big ones this week. One that really took me off guard. Margot Kitter.

Yeah, passing away at the age of 69. It was a week ago today. I didn't know she was Canadian.

Oh, you didn't? No, I did not. She was born in the in Yellow Knife Northwest territories.

Uh, she and don't she passed away and she was living in Montana. Really? She's in Livingston, Montana.

Okay, that's right out of Bozeman. That's about, uh, about maybe two hours out of Billings. She was married to John Hurd for a year.

Mm-hmm. I mean, I don't know that. And that's the Livingston, the talk that Jimmy Buffett talks about in one song Livingston, uh, is actually a little seen on Montana.

Not Livingston, Texas, which a lot of people forget wrong. This is the weirdest in memoriam. Yeah, my dad saw it.

And we're two minutes. And my dad saw Buffett play once in Livingston, Montana. He was still going.

He was screaming, yeah. Uh, let's see. Margotter.

Her mother. Hello, bitch. Margot.

Kidder, not Margaret. Her mother was a history teacher. Her father was an explosives expert in engineer.

Uh, let's see. Her mother was from British Columbia. Her father was from New Mexico.

She was a Welsh and English descent. Sounds redundant to American. Oh, jeez.

Uh, let's see. I mean, we all know her mainly as Lois Lane. I mean, she did so much great work.

And I mean, she just kind of did a lot of independent film and TV in the last 20 years or so. She dated Pierre Trudeau at one point. I didn't know that.

She dated De Palma, Spielberg, Tom Mankowitz. She dated, wow, so what it says here? She dated Mankowitz.

He was one of the end creative consultant. After they did that, when was it, uh, almost a hero or something? I didn't realize he actually hooked up.

That's kind of strange. So or maybe it's after Superman 3. You know, I can't fault it for that.

That's a fair, that that's a fair assessment. I can't. Because seriously, they were worth it.

They were, they were. Thank you. The only thing I remember about Superman 3 is they put that horrible Atari game in the film.

But she was in it for shoehorned it that long. It's like worse film. Superman 3 or Superman 4?

God. Mm. Ask the Salcons.

They'll tell you it was four because the only reason I got to give the worst to three is because they actually referenced four unsupergirled this season. They did? Yes.

They did. They did an homage to the bar scene. Oh.

In of, that was in four. That was in three. I thought that was in four where he's flipping them.

Yeah. That was three. That's when he, okay.

They wouldn't, that's Richard Prager even the, the tainted Kryptonite. Oh, okay. That's what caused the split.

Because he put Tarsie and no chemical. Not taking that one back either. Also passing away this week at the age of 93.

Good run. Joseph Campanella. An actor.

Did you know that he actually voiced the lizard on Spider-Man the animated series in the 90s? No, I didn't. And then he narrated the Discover Science Series of the Disney Channel for three years.

Let's see. It was actually unnominated for a Tony at one point. Born in Manhattan, went to Manhattan College and Columbia University.

Was actually, it was in gun smoke. I mean, the guy's got a list of of credits as long as your arm. I mean, worked all the way up until 2009.

And a movie called Lost Dream as a Slice Film Rule. Let's see. He actually did a, I guess it was a TV movie in 1999 of Grizzly Adams and the Legend of Dark Mountain.

Good Lord. He played Winston Dean in James Dean LaFast. Let's see.

You know, I'm interested. Dead Girls Don't Tango in 1992. But you know what?

That sounds very film noir. That sounds interesting to me. Is that what we're going to call it?

Yeah, so it sounds like to me. The kids are calling them these days. No retreat.

No surrender three. But this guy, I mean, this is what guy was a character actor that was every where. And I heard his name.

I was like, whoa. And his wife had been married since 1964. Well played there.

Catherine Jill Bartholomew had one relative, seven children. Frank Campanologist's brother. But we're talking about a talented family.

Good mercy. He passed away in 2006. So our deepest two, to everybody.

And they're fans of those two. We are the Kingdoms, the greatest group in Ring of Honor history. And you, my friends, you are checking out the Clubhouse podcast.

Fight the conspiracy and be one of us. So can we talk about the email? Absolutely.

So you guys may not know this. Listen, I would hope you're losing the entire time. Well, we've already defeated the email.

If I'm interrupting your Candy Crush time, just let me know. I'm trying to do a fact check. I'm trying to find something on wrestling.

Sure. So you guys may or may not know, but come October. Yeah, Danny, seven.

Alex and Sean are going to be attending the Chris Jericho Rock and Rager crews. You didn't take me in faith? No, I wanted to take someone I could understand.

And we might actually pay attention to the activities going on. Or better answer. This was all Sean's doing that I am grateful for because my wife is better than all your wives.

That's not I'm not even going to argue that because there's no win to that at all. No, so by them registering for this as early as they did, they were entered into a number of drawings. They won one.

And we're notified this week. Sir, would you like to share what you would you and your lovely lady friend will be doing during the without going? And ROH is actually doing a tournament on this cruise.

And if impact has started adding wrestlers as well, we will be guests at a private dinner with all talent. Wow. You also want to tell them where you're staying?

Oh, do you mean like two cabins down from Jericho? Yeah, my God. On the boat?

No, Don. No, they're going to be on a houseboat. That's being towed by the cruise.

No, no, no, he's in the houseboat. We're in the raft being towed by the houseboat being towed by the cruise. On the cruise, he asks.

On the cruise. Oh, this silence brought to you by Don's in name. Am I going to wake up at some point?

Am I being punked? The question is, I wonder if he does the does this on purpose? Of course he does.

I don't know. I've started to think he's that stupid. What's today?

He almost just chose your cell. He is from Someday. Today, every day.

He is from Someday. He is from Someday. Speaking of Chris Jericho, there was my segue where it was.

He is going to be battling the Leila Ali on that drop the mic show on TBS. They're doing a wrestling theme episode that they're tying into this season premiere of Glow. Odd.

And some of the women's division wrestlers will be there. Seems a bit... Actually, I believe they shot one of the actual women's wrestlers against the cast of Glow.

Oh, is that what it was? I think they did that. Oh, okay, all right.

All right. All right, let's talk. I guess there's not a lot going on in the company this week.

I mean, it's been such a thin week for headlines. He's been selling a ton of shirts for that Lista Inger Noblesse day Jericho. Yeah.

Because you know, what was the new Internet Noblesse was the new Japan ROH thing. He's got a Jericho parody of it. Because he attacked Naito viciously.

Yes. I'll tell you, he's doing some of the best what he's done at least 10 years right now. How the company is not learning from this with him and Cody and everybody else that's going other places and doing really well because they're not being handcuffed by everything.

Mm-hmm. So I'm wondering with this Naya Rhonda thing, are we teasing a heel turn for Naya on this? I don't know if you saw this footage, sir, but they were at the NBC Upfronts this week.

WWE had a very heavy presence because it's universal. Right. And they were interviewing Rhonda Rousey.

And she was saying, you know, she's got a lot of work to do, blah, blah, blah. Charlotte comes up, they start wooing. And Naya walks up and says, yeah, you can woo, but can you do this?

And she just lifted the belt. And Rhonda was like, I'm hoping to one day. She's like, I've got some, I need a challenger for money in the bank.

And it was kind of cool the way it played out, because Rhonda was like, look, there's a lot of women that are a lot more deserving than me, right? Well, she needed to do that after the bad blood that's still from Rumble. So Naya's like, don't want to challenge them.

I'm going to challenge you. Oh, okay. Rhonda was like, all right, let's do it.

So get ready for that at money in the bank. Well, I got a funny feeling that the Naya turn is more red herring because there's been some four horsewomen v for horsewomen teased. And I wouldn't be surprised if you have some rousey backup that leads to a DQ.

You think so? No, I don't. Charlotte would be involved with her, with her and Bailey and Sasha.

Well, that's what I don't understand. I think you'd only have Sasha and Bailey, because they're the only ones on Raw. Although it is a cross-pronational major, it could be all of them.

Oh, Becky's the one that's not. Becky and Charlotte. Oh, sure.

Well, she's on Smackdown. Oh, that's right. They moved her to Smackdown.

So last year. Didn't realize, and I watched both shows today, because I've had no time this week. Then I realized, and I went, uh-oh, we're in London.

Which means nothing's going to happen. You do that from London, from England. You know, it's amazing the talent level to wet the blanket that is the joke.

I'm often, when Don does his accent, so I'm often reminded. Yeah. If you've ever watched highly questionable with Dan Levittard.

No. When Poppy does his British accent. Oh, he's done that.

I've never heard of that. It's almost as good as that. Every, it's better.

Every accent Poppy does outside of his own. Sounds like this. Oh, well, we're just going to go through this and get her a double-dotted to that.

Every, every accent is like that. Oh, my God. He is on fire tonight.

I wish you were on fire tonight. You don't. Not inside, anyway.

Speaking of which. Speaking of which, one of Alex's favorite things. Oh, no.

In wrestling was taken to a new level Monday night. That, sir, was a burn it down. That London crowd, when they, when Seth came out, and they did the burn it down thing, I couldn't hear the track.

Really? That was a solid burn it down. Yeah, no.

Rollins is the best guy on Raw right now, unquestionably. Everybody sees it. All around just.

And you know what? Respect to the London crowd. They were still doing the Bailey song.

Well, they only get so many times a year. Twice. Does London show?

I just, I feel bad for the people in England. Because they just don't get good shows. You mean because we haven't paid attention in 17s or any such?

Well, that was bad. That's like one of my favorite things is when the NFL Pizz are with their NYC people and Patriots, they just makes me laugh. Aaron, he could be pretty damn ironic sometimes, can't it?

But like, it's just. Now, speaking of the UK, Pete Dunn almost has gone all the way around the sun with that belt. He's creeping up on a year with that belt.

And they're doing another tournament this summer, aren't they? They are to determine a challenger. Oh, okay.

Although interestingly enough, Drew Gulak is in that field. I do like his bit. I loved Drew Gulak.

Have you seen he's mini JBL now? Oh, dear God, no. Oh, no.

He's basically, yeah. But so you have a bunch of really good guys that they have signed, but there was a scramble because world of sport was returning. Every one of the guys that was signed for world of sport because they do non-exclusive was offered an exclusive contract from WWE.

Like, they literally went, hey, sign this until your current boss to go pound sand. When is best of the world? I don't have to look that up.

Is it after we go to ROH or before? I think it's after. I have, I really am going to have to look it up.

Because we're about three weeks from that show. Yeah. We're very excited.

We're getting to go to ROH. Yeah, and they're not saving it for November like they did last year. Which is nice.

Which is good. Because your boy is back in action, Don. Dalton!

Again. Can't get him to talk loud enough except when he's right on the miking yelts. Well, he will be defending against Cody Rhodes at best in the world.

Yeah, I heard about that. That's going to be a great match. Yeah.

I would agree. No, what about the hand thing though? Is that legit?

No, he was legit injured. Was he okay? Yeah.

But no, they've announced it will be Cody Rhodes versus Dalton Castle for the belt at best in the world. Well, you saw what they did with him about a week ago with the little... No, I didn't.

No. Remember, I haven't been able to watch ROH in like the last two weeks. No, we were watching the newest version.

He wasn't on it. Okay, when are they going to be here? It's...

They're going to be here about two weeks before best in the world. Okay, so June 16th. Yeah, the best show?

Yeah, the best in the world. It's June 29th. That's going to be the Friday.

We're going to have Saturday for takeover. And that's the start of takeover. You're not going to takeover to August.

Money in the bank is not a major. Yeah, it is. I mean, we've often said it should be, but no, they made it official.

They're doing... I'll look it up. Yeah.

As in, they're making it a four-hour pay-per-view. Or... I hope not.

But that's also that 29th. It's also the start of summer band 45 weekend. So.

And SmackDown Live may be looking for a new home next year. Excuse me. When my hand goes up, shut up, man.

So you will have Friday night is our show for ROH, which is the two weeks out from the world. Oh, so it's the 15th. It's not the 15th.

It's not the 15th. The 16th is NXT takeover Chicago. And then the 17th is Money in the Bank.

Huh. I mean, I'm okay with it. I just...

You've announced that it was a major on this show. No, Money in the Bank, we wish it was a major. Night of Champions, I've always called the unofficial 5th major.

But... I mean, I'm okay with it. I just didn't know that was a thing.

This will be the first non-official major that they've done. And then takeover for. No, no, they made this an official major.

That's why you have the cross branded ladder matches. No, all pay per views are cross-branded. Right, but that was the initial announcement.

Oh, that's fair enough. So anyway, SmackDown Live possibly looking for a new home next year. Deal expires in October 2019.

They're not getting renewed. Fox might actually swoop in and take both shows. There's two other people sniffing around on it.

Yes. Facebook and Amazon. Facebook failed.

Well, that's because he wasn't there. That's also true. Let's see, SmackDown notes.

All Daniel Bryan Haters go back and watch the opening segment from this week's SmackDown and reevaluate your choices. I'm telling you, he could not have been more over if he tried to in that arena Tuesday night. Just performing our rink or my quirk.

Well, he didn't perform. He just cut a promo in the ring. And then cast what blanket of the whole thing.

Um, Cian Alamos had his first match, but giving him a job or is not doing any doing him any good. Finger quotes match. And Mandy Rose had her own entrance because absolution is no longer a thing.

It was on and it's nothing short of hilarious. It is uncomfortable. She comes out and as she's walking to the ring, there's like this soft edge all the way around the ends of the camera.

It's very, very strange. And it's nothing short of hilarious. And I think Alex said it best when he said everything that failed with Emolina.

They're doing with me. I was about to say that's what it sounds like. It is literally copy and paste.

Only if you take out the purple for Emma and put in gold for Mandy. And I swear to God, the music was so bad. I was waiting for Valvina's to show up.

I mean, he's not lying. And we both agree that they just need to go ahead and team her up with gold dust and just let that be full time because that whole rose gold thing, I think, was brilliant. Oh, it was the best thing to come out of that, to come out of the mix mix challenge.

All right, so let's talk some movie headlines because it's movie time. Like I said, we're running away ahead of schedule tonight. Oh, well, if we're way ahead, do we want to go into the chance VCM punk tweets?

Oh, yeah, let me go back to wrestling talk for you. So chance is the the Las Vegas Golden Knights mascot. I hate you.

I almost said it right now. Oh, by the way, I will probably be out that way next month. Oh, nice.

Oh, I'll probably be leaving the day after the pay-per-view. So, be headed back to Vegas for a few days for work. Got some friends out there.

I get to see. I get to do some great work out there. I'm not going to Vegas for me.

I think I'm going to Ohio. I had Vegas on the brink. What?

They're very close together. How do you go there, Judy? Ohio is going to a place in the planet.

I'm probably the best. No, Westerville is a wonderful town. Except that you turn to illegal.

But Vegas will probably be later this summer. If it happens to be early August, give me a talk. Rob, I can't do it.

I never had to take geography. Well, they didn't finish drawing the maps when you were still in school. No, that was Chad and I mean.

See? I'm just sitting here. I'm out of my own dang business.

Do you know my 10 of orders, Canada? Judy. Don.

Stop. Just stop. The worst part is I don't want to give him ammunition.

Oh, come on. Did you go my Starbucks or something on the way here? Yeah.

I got a fram. I'm in the... I got my Android.

So... So that was a thing. Like this, this could be...

the most... ADD show we've ever done. And that sets the bar really hot.

Okay, so the Vegas Golden Knights, I'll say it nicely for you. Their mascot got it to a bit of a very cute Twitter beef with CM Punk this week. What?

Do you want to read the punk side? I need to know where I'm going to do so. What do you mean?

Like, is it somewhere published so I can just read them or do I just need to go Twitter? Well, keep setting it up and I'll take care of that. So...

Punk being punk. And by the way, his Twitter name is Coach. And it's a picture of...

Yeah, it's a picture of... of Paul Newman, Paul Newman in Slap Shot. Okay.

And, you know, again, Vegas doing very well in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Mm-hmm. Which, with their mascot doing better on Twitter.

Yeah. Which a lot of people, because a lot of it was because of the way they let them draft. They picked up a lot of players from other teams.

And some of those... Those teams are like, no, you can have this person and then they're just torching the world. But they're saying that Seattle might be getting a team and this is going to screw Seattle because they're going to change the rules.

Yeah. Well, what happened with Vegas was they were like, oh, you left this guy unprotected, but you really want to keep him? All right, we'll take him.

But you're giving us three draft picks and this other guy. Yeah. So they wound up basically drafting five times every round on top of getting some good people.

So they just brutalized the system. And here's the funny part. The teams that said, no, we're not doing that.

Lost really good players. Like James Neal and Marchezo. And they got guys that were lighting the world up on the ice.

So basically, Vegas picked the perfect GM who knew exactly how to manipulate the system in a truly Vegas fact. Yeah. And it worked.

They're probably kicking themselves right now. The entire league is like, how did you let this happen? They've got to be just who's the commissioner, who's the NHL commissioner now?

Is Betman still the commissioner? I don't think he was. Maybe he still is.

If he still is, that's a shame. All right, I think I'm pulling up the entire thing now. Okay, it's down towards the bottom of the article I sent you.

Bob, just I just pulled up the entire. Does it start with him with the boss? Okay, so CM Punk, how are we doing this?

Do you want to read the punk side and I'll read the chance side? I need to see how to read the entire currently still Gary Betman. Okay, thank you, Don.

Yeah. So the email is in here, text it to me. I texted it to you.

Okay, just pulled up my email. Fascinating radio, right? I know, that's why I was trying to.

We weren't prepared. Shut up. We had a discussion, not a full one apparently.

Okay, hold on, I'm pulling it up in the safari browser currently. Oh, safari for when you forget how to download Crow love. Go away, I don't care about the world cup.

Oh yeah, that's right. That's the thing this year. Yes, yeah.

All right, so go ahead, you can go ahead and start. So in this dramatic reading, because we're writing ahead, your punk starts it. I want you to take punk.

Okay, I will be playing the role of CM Punk. And I will be the healer monster. And yes, and Alex will be portraying a chance the Vegas mascot because you take a chance in Vegas.

Okay, so Chad, I want you to look at the mascot first. Okay, before I start reading this conversation, I want you to look at the comparison there. Oh my god.

Okay, so did you see it, Don? Yeah, so CM Punk says, just donned it me that the Golden Knights mascot is Bossk from Star Wars. I don't hate you, Phil.

I don't even dislike you. Because you know, Phil Brooks is CM Punk's real name, ruined. No, but people, we have to tell everybody.

I don't hate you, Phil. I don't even dislike you. I do like you.

I like you a heck of a lot more than I like most haters. I hate this idea that you're the best. Because you're not.

I'm the best. I'm the best in the world. High quote, Commander.

Hashtag, mascot shade. CM Punk responds. Hashtag Vegas Board, Hashtag Whiteout.

Which I think is the weakest thing he could have done. Then he says, for the record, Bossk is a compliment. If I said you looked like Dengar, then we'd have a problem.

For the record, me using your words as a compliment. If I said this is my yard now, then I'd have a problem. Hashtag mascot shade.

Seen. I love this. I love everything that's going on right now.

Chance is my favorite mascot. I don't care what anyone says. Well, what I think the brilliance of it is, is first of all, CM Punk makes that reference.

Yeah, I like iceberg. What? My favorite man felt mascot.

Because he actually came up and shook my hand for the last Penguin's game. I just made honest for talking this audio break brought to you by the Don Cavalcade of Insanity. I can't.

I just can't. We had a great segment there. That was a great segment.

And Don talked again. What? I said, Don Ford killer of segments just title right there.

Russ just said to him, brother. Hey, Russ. Or do we say Don Russ segment, segment Reaper?

I like iceberg. Okay. Don Ford segment Reaper.

I just, I can't, I can't, you know what? I've gone, I've gone full white girl. I can only odd from here on out.

Yeah, because you can't even. All right. Can we just get a movie talk now, please?

Sure. Can we? For the love of all things good and holy.

Let's get to box office numbers. I hate you, Don. I like you too.

Dropping out of the top 10 this week, I feel pretty drops from six to 11. 1.2 million. It's made $46.5 million in five weeks.

Budget was 32. We will also call that iTunes exclusive 371. Let's see.

Black Panther. Finally, on the top 10. Drops from 9 to 13.

That's a run. After 14 weeks. I think it made some money back.

$697 million. And that's just domestic, isn't it? Yeah.

Let's see. Super Troopers 2 jumped up from 14 to 12. Good on them.

Let's see. Those are things that's dropped out. In 10th place, last week 10th place, this week 10th place, the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Documentary RBG.

RBG. I would like to see that. I've heard good things.

Yes. I love the fact that they somebody wrote a bio here called that the notorious RBG. I think I loved that.

I don't know, boom. And apparently I just got an email. Let's see what's going on there.

It made $4.7 million in three weeks. It's made almost $40 million. So a model top to them.

A quiet place drops from five to eight. They did announce there's a sequel coming. Oh really?

Do you see the onion report on that one? No, they were going to answer the question that everyone had from the first. What happens if you pass gas?

Well, I don't they have a sense of smell or not? Well, if it's auditory. Yeah, that's so, you know, if there's no Taco Bell has been eradicated from existence.

You have to do the SPD. Silent but deadly. Just, yeah.

Quick move fast. That was his, that was his segue. I got to go to the bathroom.

That was his mic drop. It was silent but deadly. Can you lock that door?

Oh, good girl. Uh, let's see. A quiet place does another $4 million.

Seven weeks. This is a $17 million budget. Be aware of that, sir.

$17 million don't, don't, don't. Don't. Leave his mic on, please.

Trying to save you. So anyway, quiet place. $17 million budget.

In seven weeks, it's made $176 million. God bless. I actually thought it would be a lot higher than that.

Overboard drops from four to seven this week. By the way, let's see. Overboard.

We've done it. There it is. iTunes is exclusive $376.

That uh, another $4.7 million, $3 weeks, $37 million. I don't know what the budget was on that. Show dogs, they've used in sixth place.

So we call it iTunes is exclusive 381. Don did not like it. Uh, was it two convenience.

He actually was exact opposite for him. It's too simple. No, I'm serious, like he really did.

Thought it was just, he. The wait, wait, wait. No, I'm just going back and listen to the review.

You should, but just in in in a nutshell, I and this is not me putting words in Don's mouth. This is basically just a synopsis. I think he really felt it and Don's walking in right now and he can verify this.

We're talking about show dogs. Yeah. Well, can I safely say that you felt in your review, which is iTunes exclusive 381 that it pandered to its audience for the kids you could say that so yeah for the young ones Yeah, let's see.

It's it actually debuted in sixth place Breaking in drops from three to five this week 6.5 million dollars two weeks 28.8 million dollars on a six million dollar budget Life of the party drops from the silver medal to fourth place. It's almost eight million dollars Two weeks 31 million dollars. I really did enjoy that film and I did watch the SNL that she was on from other's day.

I'm right there with you some I need to grab that property up I mean, I'm trying to get a better Thing on that because it's not did you know who was the voice of the darkness? I'm sorry in darkness not the darkness.

We're talking Natalie Dormer Emily Rajekowski at Ed screen A blind musician here's a murderer committed in the apartment upstairs from hers that sends her down a dark path into London's greedy criminal underworld What's going on with London movies this week? People are just furious over the royal wedding I think she's featured on IMDB today like they've got to doing all those little little Filmed pieces that they scatter all over their sight and also a movie called who we are now Which features the late late what's her name? I can never remember.

I don't know, but what is this or Karen or London with? Actually, I don't think this one does and ex-con tries to get back custody of her son with the help of an idealistic young public defender And at the same time falls into a romantic fling with a traumatized former US soldier Seems like there's a lot going on here But it's got the lady that played Tanya Harding's coach and I Tanya who was on a criminal intent at one point Trying to place that what was the name of that movie again? It's called who we are now And also a very strange looking film called the fhero I saw the f-e-r-a-l I saw the poster for this and I was like Students fight to survive a weekend in the woods Yeah, wow pretty deep there.

This will be one of those not gonna see it kind of films TV I mean movies on DVD and new releases and things of Blu-ray this week. I killed Giants, which I actually want to see this It's based on a I think it's based on a graphic novel or a manga of some form Stone was interested up front of the show Now we can talk about the 25th anniversary collection of Jurassic Park That releases this week three criterion collection releases this week Mishima a life in four chapters beyond the hills and graduation nothing real mainstream So do I I really have one headline for tech talk this week? And it is that the NES classics going back on sale June 29th the NES classic of the super NES classic the NES classic is going back on sale Okay, okay because the super NES is like August I think it's still I mean I was at movie training company yesterday They had them on the show.

Oh, so it's already coming. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Now they've had their first wave Yeah, so much like the NES classic all wound up disappearing instantly because people are jerks And then they jacked them all up on you bit Go to movie training company on Reno live and who I saw them there Any other tech stuff that you want to bring up this week sir recently got and I know I couldn't be any later to the party if I tried You know the whole Toy to life thing that's that really caught fire with the Skylanders And then Nintendo ran with a ball with amiibo and the Disney joined the party well Disney bailed on in a while ago. That's what I'm saying.

I it's it's said it's called Disney Infinity Uh-huh, and you know how you've got your desk called decked out with fun co-pops. Yeah, I've got my desk Called decked out with Disney infinity characters. Okay.

I've got I've got my little Avengers army on one side of the desk I've got my Star Wars army on the other side of the desk. It is a crossover. I want to see well You can if you played Disney infinity.

Oh, I meant movie wise. That's well. Yeah, that would be greatness I like the way they did chewy.

Yeah Well, the game is still playable right They've done three versions. They're just not supporting it. They just yeah, there there was a huge community behind it Well, I finally like I think the games like seven bucks with depending on which version you get right And I had so many of these figures.

I had a couple of extras lying around the house. I'm like, let's give this a shot That game is so much fun. It's oh, I've heard that it's great And I'm surprised they stopped from supporting well, I think it was so I think the cost was so high producing the figures that they just couldn't make their money back because you know Disney's really hurting for cash right now Mm-hmm give me a break But they shut the servers down.

I want to say last spring And it's a crying shame because from what I understand some of the user-created content was really mind-blowing Uh, but the game is so much fun. If you're a fan of like the Lego Video games, which I know you are Rob. I can't play him, but I enjoyed it very much and I don't we know how do you feel about him?

Alex actually I avoid the Lego games because it infuriates me with the repetition Sean loves them. Well as far as just being easily accessible and very very user-friendly I think this kind of one-ups the Lego games. It's it's it's simplified gameplay But just the way that the you know, the way it's represented artistically looks really cool And kind of like you said the way to he's drawn.

They all look very star wars rebels ish They're all done in that art style every Disney Marvel and Star Wars are all done in that art style But it's really really cool. I mean just because the servers are gone Doesn't mean the game's not still playable and it doesn't mean the game's not fun because it's a blast It's a perfect co-op game if anybody's interested Cool Yeah, from the description it sounds like one of those where you go back to the Real original NES where you had their your main market was parents connecting with kids on a game situation So what you're saying is this is stylistically it's In advanced enough for the adult to enjoy while being simplistic enough for the child to keep up Uh-huh, and it's it's really cool because it kind of supports two hobbies gaming and collecting and if Nintendo would like to sponsor us at any time and Alex got another here. You might have some protectocty That depends on how do you yesterday?

What happened to me yesterday? I don't know. I've drank since then you got a new uh any toy didn't you?

Oh, the one x. Uh, yes now. I have one on both floors That felt bad to say Xbox one x.

Oh really that felt bad to say though But yeah, no, it's it finally got to the point no no it got to the point where I got tired of going into the theater to use The one x to play at a higher resolution So now I have one in the living room as well To stream play do whatever I want and I've actually I don't want to say it's earth shattering the difference between gaming at The level of the one s was to the one x because that's what you can notice a lot more in the smooth Uh, the smoothing out of the animation. How about are you doing anything that's backward compatible with the 360? I know they've had some backward compatible.

Uh, I've actually I literally got it set up yesterday and crashed out I haven't even used Anything in that realm yet. Uh-huh, but I have been looking through trying to find something that just makes you go Yes, I absolutely need to play that in the enhanced version Uh from what I understand two of the best examples you can go with Gears four is amazing. Yeah, I don't know.

There's four is an Xbox one game. I'm talking about right now No, but what I'm talking about with the one x advancement right and uh really red dead redemption from what I understand is really stunning Okay, yeah, I can be absolutely that was Single player most of what I do now if it doesn't have a co-op I don't tend to do it much Because I do have my co-op partner for life of Sean Playing so we do tend to stick to the couch co-op But now that that's starting to be kind of a dying thing regardless of what they tell you with a way out Which looks amazing by the way. Yeah, um But if it's not couch co-op we tend to not jump into it as quickly Which is what was really hard with halo five when it came out is you can't do couch co-op And halo five to me just kind of lost me.

I didn't even get into it yet So I don't I've got it and I can't touch it. It's just it doesn't interest me It doesn't and if you're into the couch co-op thing Definitely look into infinity. Oh, absolutely.

Definitely look into infinity. I think you guys would love it Don how's your how's your candy crush going over there? I'm not playing candy crush.

I'm playing angry birds Oh, okay see Good to know. I like how you hold he holds it up on the side that I can't see don pays attention during the show That's just amazing. Well, I got lost on the co-op things because I I give up But you know if you pay attention you might learn something But you also did just prompt him by saying don first if you had just said how's candy crush going Probably what it stuck to angry birds.

I'm gonna make cricket cricket all right. Let's get to the list Because I don't know how much more this I can take We end every show with a list tonight is no exception This is a list I've been sitting on for a long time figuratively To list that we should have done a long time ago. We didn't Tonight's top 10 list mm-hmm copy right letterman Top 10 things food places need to bring back.

Oh, okay Now I want to give an honorable mention Because there's something that I wish would exist and it doesn't and I don't understand why I need a diet snapple apple That's a fantastic point. There's a lady in my office that just tried it for the first time two days ago Snapple apple is one of the greatest things I ever created you would have thought you saw original snapple flavor Why there's not a diet snapple apple it's beyond me if you can find diet snapple peach tea and it's every way it is terrible Yeah, you're like you could taste the powder You could taste the fakeiness of it. Yeah, so that's my honorable mention.

Maybe that's why they don't want to do it snapple Get on that. Maybe they just can't get the flavor right number 10 and this is one that I did this just for chat Because oh, I think you emails Uh, this is not an arrow to the head Chad knows That's good for the greatest moments ever. Yes This is something that Chad and I talk about every once and again and it comes up at the most random times The Wendy smoky bacon double cheese I'm sorry if you just heard that on the mic that was my stomach growling That this is one of the greatest things in the history of ever and they started this.

I mean I worked at Wendy's when I was 14 and they did it back then It's a barbecue sauce It's got like a smoky white cheddar on it It is nothing short of wonderful. I don't I came or last time they actually did it I did some research on this fairly recently and apparently It is a permanent menu item in some of the more northern based Wendy's and it's got a different name Uh, like I want to say it's like there's some sort of a mountain reference in the name of the burger now Let's get on that. Yeah, and I don't know why it's not nationwide because good lord that thing Can I bring up Wendy's because it's right by the place here.

You're with the studio. We haven't right by the studio. Yeah Listen to Jim Cornett's thing his podcast and he's someone brought in about the Wendy's thing same.

Please bring back When you think about the patties because it used to be that have this fresh grill and all that and then the bacon was actually hot instead That stuff that's been under the oven and reheated. I think the quality has gone down Hardly bad since day Thomas passed away consistently their the patties are drier than yes to be time Every once in a while I can go to Wendy's and they get it right but a lot but it's not as consistent And then the fries they got the different style potato is in the oil now That's why I just do the bacon eater fries. I'm cheese in the bacon on them.

I don't know I you're absolutely right. You know how Sam Walton died how the Walmart turned from left to right from what he originally found and say what they've taught us after he passed Who has an honorary high school diploma from my high school? Thank you very much He is technically a cook in three high school.

Oh, okay. No, that really happened. Yeah He worked with and I tell this when I do my trainings.

He worked with orphans. I know and Yeah, and one of them asking one time like why do you want us to finish school? You never did So he went back and he got his GED And his best friend was on the school district where my high school was So after he got his GED he went to prom with the with the class two years behind mine And he got an honorary high school diploma from my high school And there's a vote at caddy corner to my high school that's named after him Nice, which is also right around the corner from the Wendy's.

I work naturally, which is still there by the way store 109 represent 41 in Atlantic. How much a ball man No, you know exactly where I have eaten at that I worked there as did my two of my best friends no wonder it's like Rob's bit Still to this day. How would you never?

We never got a super bar. That was no. Remember the Wendy's super bar.

No, it was the super bar It was well free as a salad and then there was like the Mexican food part in a potato Oh, it's one of the greatest things ever. Oh, we we take a promise and we were gonna get one and we never did And I don't even do I mean, I love the salad bar. They don't even do that.

Do they have a big baked potato anymore still? Yeah, you get a big potato. It's not there's not as many different types of baked potato.

No frosty will never go away You can actually get chocolate oil vanilla now the problem is as if the machine works. Yeah It's coming down. I always loved it when I because we actually got I don't know if they still do but back then bored and delivered the mix Oh, you told me about this and they would always bring us like extra like chocolate milks and stuff because they like this That was awesome Number nine and I've been on a crusade for this for like three years and it still hasn't happened You guys know I'm a huge fan of pi five.

Oh, yeah, love me some pi five for those who don't know it's a chain that's here in there It's kind of like if subway did pizza And they call it pi five because it takes five minutes from a time you order it to the time you get it Actually to me always seemed like it was more like quiz nose did pizza. That's everybody knows what that's fair So you you get the raw dough and you put it whatever you want they put it through and have it in the whole thing A couple of years ago they did a chicken enchilada pizza That instead of the tomato sauce it was like a Mexican red sauce and it had The the chicken and the cheese and it was amazing. I even tweeted to them where is this and they're like no we're fans too I don't think bring it back It's amazing And that's one of those where it's like you know they want to reply with cost efficiency and it's like It's red sauce is it you already got the chicken in the cheese?

Yes, someone did a chicken. They never been to fly for it too. That was very very similar that I was really hooked on it They have been brought it back in the number eight and this is in the stores Okay, okay, I need this to come back in the stores mellow yellow zero The only place I can find mellow yellow zero right now is on a Coca-Cola freestyle Yeah, but say I've seen that all the time in a freestyle and I see mellow yellow in the stores But I don't see mellow yellow zero.

I'm gonna need you to put a pin in that one. Okay fair enough Number seven. I've only ever seen this one time and it was like 10 years ago For those of you that don't know I am pre-diabetic So I have to watch what I eat mostly But when I was traveling for a living about 10 years ago I was in a grocery store and they had honest to god branded sugar-free Oreos And they were amazing wow how is that even possible Because I mean I'm lying.

I know I've seen it like I've seen it like brands that do that but it's not Oreo But it would they were sugar-free Oreos and they were nothing short of amazing And I've only ever seen it one time by the way I tried I actually tried a new Oreo this past week the cherry cola Oreo. I saw those I was trying to try it. How is it?

It's got pop rocks in it. That's why it's true. Oh, yeah, that's what it fizzes and it's okay I've seen better, but I've also seen a lot worse pumpkin sauce, but Number six and when I this was something I discovered was gone by accident And I almost screamed in the middle of a restaurant because to me this dish is a signature of this chain And for it to not be on the menu is a travesty of modern history The Chili's grilled chicken Caesar salad is no longer on the menu really and you'd think that that's just so basic That's the first thing I ever like the first time I ever had a chicken Caesar salad was it Chili's because I sort of did Chili's in college And it was called the car Caesar and it was one of my favorite things on the menu You know, you know how I am about grilled chicken Caesar salad.

I'm a huge Caesar salad thing. I actually I didn't know that at huge As am I but I didn't know when the lovely and talented Mrs. Irwin and I did atkins for a while I ate chicken Caesar salad every day.

Yeah, I took it for lunch every day when I first started the job like a lot So mad. I don't know what's more inferior to that of the fact that they took all the chili stuff off of the Chili's menu now It's still not it's Chili's is getting better. It got real bad there for a while.

Yeah Number five bj's brew houses Double cheeseburger pizza. It's not you can order it. It's not on the menu.

It's just an off menu item They had gum. Why would they take that off one of my favorite things that they've ever done And if you have a bj's brew house near you, you can order it But instead of the tomato sauce, they actually put like big Mac sauce It's it's nothing short of wonderful And I get it with a side of the sauce so I can dig dip my crust in it And it's not to save if you don't put the pickles on top of it because I don't like the extra pickles brother Do we pull the the Curtain back on what the big Mac sauce is a thousand down dressing or Russian dressing to Ben and you ask and you know The odd thing is Rob that's the only thing I've ever eaten there really. I've never eaten anything else and Buffalo chicken pizza too I think we might have ordered like one of each one time.

I think we did but I've ordered that and I like and I like every day I don't know they still do but they're mozzarella sticks. They used to bread with with pretzel pieces. Oh good lord Look at keep looking over at Alex's out.

It just gets His eyes just get wider and wider every day. It sounds delicious, but at the same time I think my colon hates me hearing Your cholesterol level would see you guys know me. I'm foodie Number four anybody and I don't care who it is anybody that can come out with a diet pineapple or diet apple soda.

I don't care who it is Because I love pineapple soda and I can't have it. The middle of these diet And I enjoy apple flavor to it. Just like snapple apple.

I think it's a fan to head something like that. They've got they've got a A regular version of like they do a diet. See I thought they had a diet.

They have fantasy zero orange That's the only one I've ever seen. Okay, now you can do fantasy zero on The freestyle But it's not official and they do two pineapple. I can do peach.

I can't do pineapple now Have we figured out if the flavorings are indeed sugar-free? It's under no calorie on the thing. Okay.

All right So there's a trust level. Yeah, and we have to we have to but you know how I feel about the freestyle Oh, I'm not the greatest inventions man has ever had fire the wheel Tivo freestyle. That's the list.

Do you have the app? I don't you should but I know what I like Do you know how the app works Alex? I do not you can create custom mixes through the app and then Show it to the to the freestyle.

I've seen the Scans your phone and scans your phone. It creates a cue code of that mix and it will blend it for you Well, you see I've seen that on there But I happen to be vertically challenged and the scanners up here Man here's just having your phone. I'll do it.

Yeah, number three. I need more places to do sliders. Oh Oh, yes, you remember in the late 80s everybody was doing sliders and many guys It just never caught on and I don't know where for like a year and then it just disappeared like what was the one that that That Burger King did the rodeo bulls-eye Bulls-eye barbecue bacon.

Yes, and it was like burger shots That's what they were called burger shots. They were three in a box And then they just did regular like cheese list and they did a cheeseburger and then they did the rodeo and it was Like my go-to and I remember the one and this is just for Alex the one. I used to go to when I was a kid Was in Lauderdale over by just down the street from the JCC Right by the public.

Yep. There's also a photo mat in there It's one of those words like as soon as you say Lauderdale. I'm like, yep, the guy got shot.

Mm-hmm I live there. Did they already do away with it on the Carl's menu now? I don't know.

I haven't been there in a while But Carl's and Carl's juniors those sliders were amazing fantastic big fan big fan of those You finally did get some didn't you Alex? I did not the only two times I went to Carl's junior was with you Where I got disappointed by the burger and with you where I can't remember any those That's fair Number two and this two and one are both He's gonna hurt wishful feet wishful thinking but if I don't speak it out to the universe it can't happen Chick-fil-a Kohl's Law When Chick-fil-a took Kohl's Law off their menu two years ago That was a dark day for me. I swear to God.

I thought it was still a thing They took it off the menu to replace it with this super food Kale thing. Oh, no, you did you if you did you were dreaming it Trust me. Okay.

I swear to God. I thought the Chick-fil-a on Plano Road I don't know if that's still considered Richard's and I think they still have Kohl's Law. Don I'm deferring to you Plano wrote it.

I was just there this week Don speak right into the microphone. I don't want to yell But you don't have to yell if you talk right in the microphone. I know but I thought I know that angry birds is very important No, I look at your diet soda.

Look at that right now. I'm trying to find it for you for your diet pineapple But no, but but don is our Chick-fil-a expert Yes, he is and they have not had Kohl's Law in at least two years. I haven't heard of that If you were told me they were yeah, they replaced it with some super food thing I was in that one in Plano Road and Richardson just this week if I could have checked inside I'll be there this week.

I do a review That's why that's why I always just get the waffle fries because they don't do the Kohl's Law Because there are two places to me whose Kohl's Law is head and shoulders above everybody And I'm very picky when it comes to Kohl's Law. I am as well Chick-fil-a KFC That's the list Long John Silver just really could although but it's I still I mean I'll eat that kind of Kohl's Law But that long cut of cabbage wears me out. Yeah, and I don't like it when okay Let me if you've ever been a 1050 barbecue in Richardson who who me you're asking me that question No, no, I have an evangelist No, no settle down.

I'm talking about if you the royal you who I'm talking out to i.e. the interwebs No, if you go there the Kohl's Law looks fantastic. Don't get it the potato salad though I have not had their potato salad is made with you What do you think about the Pramani brothers Kohl's Law and the things it's a long cut like I said I'll there's not I wouldn't not have it Yeah, I just prefer it more finely cut than that But then Pramani puts it on the on those sandwiches And you still haven't had the pizza or the girl of nuts.

Oh, no, I had pizza. We had pizza I love their pizza. I love After December because Barbara got a pizza for the girls and they and next time you go home They haven't been southward in my wife and my wife and sister lost split a salad I mean split one sandwich did big one.

That's all they needed because Barbara got a pizza So we had the pizza for the table and then he split Sam, you know, yeah So I had a pizza there there are pizzas amazing Yeah, but the Pramani and South Florida those garlic knots. Oh, I know Like you're the size of your head Have you heard and they and they if they were any more saturated with the garlic butter, it would be illegal I told me had to bring it back to this one. Oh, no, I can remember because I was in school in Pittsburgh for a while Just ordering garlic knots, but there's one at um There's one on Fort Laudal Beach now.

Okay, there's also one at 441 and Sunrise Boulevard right by the Bonerola plant. Okay, can you corner it? Yeah, mm-hmm.

That's a good location for That's where we went after Irma. Ah, how do you think they would do here? I think they make it killing you think so Because you know a lot of a lot of restaurants actually use Dallas as a test market before they go national because Dallas Dallas, Texas was rated at one point The highest per capita Of percentage that people eat out versus eating at home in the country.

Hmm. That's a true story And number one, don't you know where I'm going with this The foods that company needs to bring out you you better believe it sir the hell of a good fiesta salsa dip I don't know what it is But it was hell of a good they do they do I mean I love their French onion dip. I've been like I haven't I haven't small doses They had a fiesta salsa dip at one point that it was just like a sour cream dip that had these pockets of salsa in it It was like a McGriddle for chips and dip and it was Mine it'll change your religion like it was mind-blowingly good And then it just disappeared and this was what I mean how long have I been on this kick since I know Nia been Five years ago I looked at yeah, we've known each other six seven eight years now and it's Now coming back Now we could add milk splash as a honorable action.

No, you're gonna ask because I knew you're gonna That's why it's gonna say milk splash. I don't know what happened to them because I went in there They weren't marketed well because it meant that this was before I was joining us on the show Milk splash was like me oh for milk It added no sugar no calories and they had The chocolate wasn't very good had too much of a coconut. He taste for me But the strawberry was amazing.

They had an anna was banana They did a horchata pignata We're chata pignata. Yeah, so it's called the horchata pignata, but yes, I thought he genuinely got confused Yeah, I said I had the cookies and they had a cookies and cream that was really good too And like we talked we actually talked about them on the show. They actually sent us a little sample Yeah, and then one day it was gone.

It's gone. They're gone. I don't tell you it was just like me oh for milk And so if you have a kid like a buddy of mine at work his daughter He she would drink milk, but it would she'd only have to have it flavored and he'd kill them because of how much sugar right added Yeah, I was like no dude look this up right and he's like dude are you know?

He said no extra calories no extra sugar He came back to me the next week. He's like she can't have enough of it And the banana was really really good too. Interesting.

It's normally banana stuff just tastes real fake. Yeah, yeah Yeah, you know what? Yeah awkward, and it didn't get like a gritty taste from it or anything.

Oh wow. I do miss it chat anything The the Wendy's burger still throws me. I'm missed that something awful.

I don't want the mcrib back on full time I'm see I'm not a fan. I love me the mcrib see I'm with you on that one, but the mcrib it's like It's what it is because it's only around period Oh, no, not like the mcrib not for me. I would be with you, and I also mix I also miss the mcdonalds max snack wrap Yeah, it was like a big Mac in a tortilla.

Yeah What was the one that long john don't silver did something kind of similar? They did a wrap. Oh did they?

Did it had like a like a chipotle mayo in it that you could get like a like it was almost like a poe boy filling You either got crispy shrimp crispy fish or crispy chicken And they were and like and we talked about the writer's service shout out to Arby's and those sliders Thank you some good sliders. Oh No shout out to Arby's for the I didn't see that hell of a goes doing a dill pickle dip right now And I find that very unstable no no shout out to Arby's for ditch and Pepsi products too. Oh like that heard I would see a pickle But you're on that side.

I'm on the diet mountain dude. I went to the I'm on the coax last Ranger game I got that corny dog with the pickle How that work out for you I know he's talking about so it's a new thing to do at the ballpark. Yeah, how that work out for you Yeah, it's plus faith hates pickles and for those of you keeping score as of when Donna and I went and saw a book club I am now over three with a Bavarian legend.

Yeah, it is now beating me three times I was victorious Okay, they have a shirt. They had an orange shiver. It also no splash.

Oh, yeah, that's that was really good magic That was really good now if I can always I'd like to bring in somehow we still got to two hours to know how The it was I don't know why I don't know why they did this or do this like they have Cherry sprite But you can only buy the big bottles you can't buy a six pack after buying a single right Um, and also the cranberry sprite. Why they only do that during the holidays. It's like they make a favorite anything I find oh, no, that was good.

It's good But it's only the only bring out during the holidays every year and it's like we see we stock up because cranberries are known with the But still make a killing if they call a brawn. Yeah, he'll get that done for you. Willie.

It's he's it's it's a sponsor No, he'll just pretend like he got hip-checked and then call out They have a cherry sprite, which is great, but they only sell in the big not the like the leader bottle sprite zero Not that great Not impressed with sprite zero Sprite zero is good for what it is, but barks bark zero diet barks on board. No, what you need with sprite zero is vodka Not also not a fan of cherry cook zero at all not don't enjoy its work. Were you ever a fan of the buzz?

Okay, with that of the bell beaver from Taco Bell Yeah, little beaver. Yeah, y'all are y'all don't remember this thing. No, it's big gosh my memory.

It was basically a taco on a bun Oh, kind of like is that doesn't Bueno do that with their it looks like a sloppy joe? No, I think casa does I think yes, it's very much so it's very much is like the slot. Oh speaking of that I went to the Dallas girl cheese company this past week got the the Cuban it Cuban ask I figured that's when you were gonna go for really just better.

I'm gonna try that man, which one the next time though It's really they've got one that's got man, which one I want to bring in uh-huh And I know I love the blue bell and I love their company model and how they Rotate the flavors But they had a blueberry cheesecake ice cream which west of yes, I do remember that Kind of for me then when I think of ice cream I always think of the eyes are dryers depending on who you ask um When they did ice cream sandwich ice cream Which is vanilla ice cream with just pieces of the the cookie that did you make an ice cream sandwich with oh, yeah What time I went on a binge of those ice cream sandwiches? Now we got a whole box and went through uh Russ is saying they brought back the old school RC logo For for RC cola interesting. There it is.

There it is. There's the bell beaver. Okay.

You know what that looks looks pretty good Yeah, it looks like a man, which yeah the other one I believe it was apple bees Used to do a special section of their menu that was the everything you can fit burger But it wasn't on a bun. It was like the largest burrito tortilla You've ever seen and they would fill everything in Fill everything in and then just fold it up and you ate it out And I feel bad for people out here because they could never extol the greatness of taco viva Was that were was that a thing when you was you have memories of taco viva? No, now taco Muirte Um, no taco viva was a chain in South Florida That was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had Because the first place I ever saw a fast-food place where they served beer Most of them were in malls.

See that that was new to me when I came out and they had a red sauce burrito That was too Boy, we get to the one in lakes in the lake small in Lauderdale And then the other one was at 441 and cook in the creek parkway in front of the Albertsons Speaking of home though, they have just few of us in America There's a place in Montana in Lockwood, Montana right out of buildings called Wongs Village Which was the best Chinese place ever but it went under that sweet and sour was that thick Oh, that's good stuff right there. I mean, I mean you did the whole dinner plate You get for three people have four plates that still take home This was the egg rolls were like a foot long and cut like real. Oh, I mean it was the best Chinese ever Rumors about the kitchen Well, that's the place right down the street from here that those rumors were true I can't believe that logo is still on the building Can't believe the building is still standing Yeah, that's the prize doesn't mean too because you don't know who's gonna affect it So what What place you're talking about right?

It's just used to be a Used to be a Chinese place just right here. Oh, okay. Okay I mean, it's the name is still on the building All right gentlemen anything else for me to get out of here I still miss the arch Deluxe.

I don't care what anybody says. I was never a fan. I've got that duck thing I just got my up my burger burrito and I'm happy Tasty burger burrito No, that thing was glorious in every way because they were like anything that you can find on the menu will include for a prize Okay, because everybody has a prize.

Uh, let me put it this way There was a good biving I'm skipping right no I'm skipping right past that one for now, but There there were many a nights where there was questionable things happening where it was like you know what Let's see if I can put that on there And there was what did they have they had this crispy mac and cheese That's how we discovered the crispy mac and cheese burger on a burrito That's why I'm looking forward to my Ohio trip because they got a place up there called melt Well, no, they're looking forward to it and melt exist because people I think Ohio is great and they should be killing themselves with cheese Waiting for the downside of this argument the death part is kind of the downside What what did Dennis layer once say? Oh, it's gonna take 10 years off your life. You know what?

It's the last 10. I'm okay with it. You don't want to be through anyway Do they put a date they have a thing called the godfather and it's a Piece of lasagna on a grilled cheese sandwich like that's America.
