Q&A

Who won the Oscar picks competition?

Chad won with a final score of 54 points by getting most of his doubled-down picks correct, including predictions on Roma, Rami Malek, and multiple technical categories.

What happened at the Who Needs Ink charity event?

The event raised funds for the Who Needs Sleep organization with 20 people getting tattoos, cash donations, and raffle items including signed merchandise and artwork donated by local artists and friends of the show.

Why are third-party ticket brokers a problem?

Bots allow brokers to buy large quantities of tickets before fans can, then resell them at inflated prices (up to 27 times face value), making events inaccessible to true fans and creating empty venues that look bad on camera.

What is Roman Reigns' status?

Roman Reigns announced his leukemia is in remission and will return to compete at WWE Fastlane in a handicap match, with hopes of reuniting The Shield with Dean Ambrose.

Let's say the one. Oh, yeah, it is 704 on the East Coast. It is 404 on the West Coast Coast not found shut up.

It is the March of the third in the year of our Lord 2019 season nine episode 32, 479 times this voice has welcomed you to the clubhouse podcast. We're so glad that you're with us listening and or viewing. I got some great feedback this week.

We, uh, we've got a temporary fix so that our, our fans that are subscribing to us on iTunes or your favorite podcasting app that is not vocal. Now you should still download that anyway, but we were able to get that kind of hooked up a little bit last week. We're going to refine that process a little bit more.

So we've got that up and running. Welcome. My name is Rob.

I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast. And you may be saying Rob, you've repeated a shirt. Technically, no, because I've got a new hoodie on.

See the different hoodie just saying, but I'm not alone because we don't do that on this show, but we have, we're not skating in full strength because God for a bit, we do that two weeks in a row. Don and Chad are both out on assignment tonight. So sitting in the co-host chair to my left is a man who has comfortable sandals and got them at a bargain price.

He is Alex. Welcome, sir. I'm always grateful for Amazon.

Amazon daily deals just make the world go around. But I do want to say I want to throw it back to you. I think you should turn around so they could see the back of the hoodie.

We're going to talk about that here in a minute. Understood. I have a plan.

We'll make sure to do that. We teased it last evening. We're going to talk about later.

By the way, if Amazon wants to sponsor the show, please let us know. Rob, the clubhouse podcast dot com rounding out the day is the lady of the house with her very, very, I just realized her jacket, her laptop cover and her jewelry all match. She is general.

How are you, friend? I am good. And actually this sweater is a product of Amazon.

I am an Amazon shopper and I do like to color coordinate. I'm currently wearing nothing from Amazon. Well, but if they want to sponsor, I want to make sure I'm included in that.

Remember, I would if they sell it. Don't give me your, you're supposed to sell it. Rob, I would if they did.

That's the sell. I mean, I have new sheets on the bed from Amazon. I got new clothes from Amazon.

It's, you know, just some updates and corrections. First of all, because there have been a bigger train wreck of an opening than we had last week on this show. Yes, they're good, but good by lord.

And we want to give you Oscar pick results. I'm probably in last. You are not in last, sir.

Oh, wow. Don last place. 26 points, but he went out of his way to take the Ella couple of times.

Yeah, but that's still not enough to write. General was four points ahead of him at 30 points. I was in the middle of the packet, 34.

You beat me by three points. OK, Chad won the picks. Now, Chad got a total of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven picks, eight picks wrong.

Nine picks wrong. That's a good average for the will win. He missed four.

Wow. We're not a heck of a run. Right.

You know, so congratulations to Chad for winning the Oscar picks this year. He doubled down on Glenn Close. He for the will he had will for if Bill Street could talk for best score, a quiet place for best sound editing and Roma for best picture.

So that covers the basis. So what was his final score? 54.

That he beat Alex by 17. Yeah, those double downs. I mean, here's everything he doubled down that he got right.

Remy Malek, Marcella Ali, Regina King into the spider verse, Roma for best. Cinematography, Black Panther for costume design, Alfonso Cuaron for director, Bohenian Rhapsody for film editing, Roma for foreign language, vice for makeup, shallow for best picture of the song. I think everybody picked that except Don deviated on his should win.

Let's see, Black Panther for best score, bow for best animated short skin. He's the only one a general got the will for for skin, but he doubled down on that. Okay, Bohenian Rhapsody for visual effects and don't forget we need to talk about that little story.

Hold on, visual effects was first man. Sound mixing. I'm sorry.

Okay. Everything kind of jumbled up and he then he also doubled down on black clansman for screenplay and green book as did I or for original screenplay. He actually his best picture.

He missed both of them. He said Black Panther should Roma will. So congratulations Chad for winning the Oscar picks.

We are two weeks away from March madness. It's election Sunday, two weeks from today. There's a lot coming in March because you think about it next week we got paper view that week after that we got March pick our selection Sunday that week after that.

I don't know if we all live. Well, that I'm hoping we're on location that weekend and a normal show. Right.

Well, I'm also living in final destination. So I don't know if I'm making it fair enough. All right.

For the first time this year as if I can just keep the mouse under control to keep the table under control here. Well, while we're talking about last week and my parents did finally this past week get to see Celine Dion and concert. It was the fourth attempt to see her live and they finally got to make it happen.

The greatest singer in the world. And actually her mom was there and from what it sounded like it's the first time her mom's ever made it to one of her Vegas performances. So yeah.

But did they say it was a good show? Oh, yeah. And then this I think they didn't even get to sit together.

Is that why they enjoyed it so much? I'm thinking that may have had a little to do with that. But then again, it wasn't me.

Mom behaves. I don't. I sing along.

Right. Noise dad. So.

But no, they had a lot of fun with the trip. It was a good. Where is she showing out of again?

That's a really good question. I didn't ask. Okay.

I was trying to think. They. Did they have her through the seasons?

I think it was still the seasons. I don't think she'd love. I think it's the end of her run at seasons.

Okay. Because I know they like to cycle through and rename the theater every time they have somebody. Yeah.

Sorry about that. Apparently we have the audio up on the PC and trying to fix. I don't know what's going on with the NASCAR website.

I can't find. They've revamped their website again. And I'm trying to find.

Oh, dates. No, I'm trying to find like this. The NASCAR schedule.

Oh, okay. And it's not. They don't have it right anymore.

And it's kind of freaking me out. Because I've got. You know, I'll see if we do it that way.

Yeah. That'll work. I think.

Well, anyways, cycling back to that. Caesar does a really good job as far as. Set design and going along with, you know, the best hits.

They do a really good job with that. So I was curious if they did anything for. Any of the particulars from a certain movie.

Their Rob would go nuts about. I did not ask about stupid but movie. Well, I was going to let it go on that one.

But, you know, there's a lot of songs. A lot of people know that I could see them doing a lot of work with in that. Just on that stage.

You do realize I was tricked into watching stupid but movie. No. Yeah.

I don't realize many things. Yeah. Just ask Sean.

Oh, yes. We got more wheels off opening the way last week. I think we're in the ballpark right now.

So, all right. So let's talk NASCAR today. We were at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

And there's a pivot. For the Penzoil 400 presented by Giffy Loube. Your top 10 finishers.

Denny Moons over my hamlin. Starts in the second position. Wines up in 10th in the number 11 Toyota.

Chase Elliott, attorney at law. Starts in 12th. Wines up in 9th in the number 9 Chevrolet.

Martin Truex Jr. Because as we know, NASCAR law says at least it must be one junior in the chase at all times. That is true.

And the number 19 Toyota starts in 23rd. Wines up in 8th. Eric Almarola in the number 10 Ford.

Starts in 25th. Wines up in 7th. Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Now we have two juniors. And the number 17 you have to have one. Yeah.

It's a minimum. Goes from 8 to 6. Kurt Bush in the number one Chevrolet.

Starts in 28th. Wines up in 5th. Kevin Harvick on the pole position.

He wins the first stage. But Wines up in 4th in the number 4 Ford. Kyle Bush starts in 3rd.

Wines up in 3rd in the number 18 Toyota. Kezalowski starts in 19th. Wines up in the silver medal.

Joey Lagan wins stage 2. But then wins the race starting in 10th. We're not going to start talking point shit because the season is only about three weeks old.

Points will start probably in May. Next week, 330 on your local Fox affiliate. We have the if at the ISM rate.

I don't even know where the ISM raceway is. Let's see if it's Phoenix. All right.

For the ticket guardian 500. Interesting. That's good.

But a pin in that. That's going to tie into another segment on tonight's show. And I may explode.

That'll be at 330 on your local Fox affiliate. All right. Before we go any further.

I want to talk a little bit about yesterday. An amazing day yesterday. For who need sleep, which is why I'm wearing my who need sleep t-shirt today.

And as. What's his name over there? Alex said.

Let me show you the back of the hoodie. Pull the hood up if he can. Yeah.

I can do that. There you go. And what we got to get.

Get on that on here. There we go. This is me talking.

So it comes back to me. Yeah, there you go. Yeah.

Really, really great people helping you put that on. Godfather ink yesterday and hers. We talked about this on last week's show yesterday.

What's who needs ink? We were there. A long time.

But I did get my first tattoo. You can go to my Facebook page and see it also on my Instagram. At yes, that Rob Irvings will be RV.

And I'm not taking off my shirt. I'm sorry. It's on the back of my left shoulder.

Brandy did an amazing job yesterday. Not, you know, people been asking me to get hurt. I was like, no, not really.

It took about 20 minutes. And the outline just kind of feels like somebody's just dragging their finger across your skin. So it's a little more like that anything else.

The shading smarted a little bit more. A little bit more. But there was never a point where I had to tell her to stop and take a breath or whatever.

We just, she just got it done. And it came out really, really well. Were there any tears?

No. Was there begging? Okay.

Nope. I was good the whole time. You were a big boy.

I was. I had a good boy jeans on and everything. I had a great time, David, some DJ, and I did some DJing.

I almost killed my DJ deck as I spilled my soda all over the table. But the DJ deck is alive and well. It survived.

I want to thank everybody at Godfather Inc. Who was amazing yesterday. Just had such an amazing, such a great time.

And I said last night in my Facebook live, the most encouraging thing to me about yesterday was we had a handful of people that came in, that didn't know who we were. They came in because they saw it on Godfather Inc's social media and website and came in and wanted to support the cause. And that was awesome.

We had 20 people come get tattoos yesterday. On top of that, we had a bunch of people give us cash donations as well. I'm holding on to the total until we know for sure.

I think I know what it is, but I don't want to oversell it. For those of you that came by and got a tattoo, and we'll sign up for the raffle. We will be identifying those winners later this week.

We got some amazing things we're raffling off. Even one of the artists there donated some stuff. Very cool.

We got Rachel brought some bobble heads. We got some signed CDs by a local band. We got a couple of nice looking paintings.

A friend of the show, Brent Peoples brought me a couple of Harley Quinn's that he did that are individually numbered. Oh, I miss. So it's like I also gave me excuse to see my little brother on Friday night, which is awesome.

We had such an amazing time. I'm ready to do it again next year. So we might be back there soon.

Sooner than next year. That was going to be my next day. We have a board meeting this Saturday.

But I don't want to put anything out there until we have our board meeting on Saturday. Which is fair. And I've also got some.

I talked to you about this earlier. A couple of interesting ideas came up yesterday. Just understand that the big show is the weekend of December 14th to the 13th and 14th.

But we're going to be doing a lot of stuff between now and then. Because we want we want who need sleep to be fresh in your mind when you're thinking about charity. So we're going to have our name out there a lot more this year.

Just an incredible time. The weather didn't didn't dampen anybody's spirits. Granted, we had to bring everything inside.

It's not a very big place, but we made it work. And it sounds like there was a very well-earned title on the wall. Yes.

Is that about the belt? Yes, I am. Oh, yeah.

What, the belt? Yes. The undisputed.

Yes, they have a copy of the undisputed belt. Well, but they're the undisputed champions for us this week. Yes, they are.

They are our champions right now. How about the food trucks? Food truck.

There was one. Okay. The second one couldn't make it.

But Chicago mics was there. He had a, I did try his, he had a, a sausage on a, which I had had some grilled onions and mustard on it. Amazing.

Good. I'm glad they were able to get out there and dude, thank you. Chicago.

Chicago mic was awesome. It was just everything worked out. Everybody was in good spirits.

We were having a good time. There was never a wall in the action. You know, it wasn't packed, but there was just a steady flow of people.

And that exceeded my expectations, which was awesome. Devin used the word flabbergasted when he texted me last night. That's a lot of typing.

It is. Oh, you probably get to a certain point. You just let all the correct finishes.

That's fair. He does the speech. He talks.

Oh, okay. Yeah. And the Donna was there.

I was there. SKV made an appearance. It's the first time we've seen her since who needs sleep.

Look at that hair. I mean, I said she looks amazing. I said she's currently in her Ellen phase with the hair.

And I got a picture with her in Devices. Look at that hair. You know, I do have some good luck.

Oh, wait a minute. You weren't talking about me. Karen.

Adrian came by for a while. Rachel was there. I saw Scott.

Scott from the 502 stopped by. We had an amazing time. It was just so much fun.

I'm. I'm exhausted. You know, and I'm on the road this week.

So teaching. And then on finish teaching. Go straight to the airport and head to Orlando for a three day leadership conference.

There you go. So it's going to be a long week, but I'm ready for it. And thanks to everybody that got farther in for being just awesome.

That's why I had to buy the hoodie to commemorate the event. And we're hoping to work with them again soon. So and go make sure you go to who needs sleep.org book market.

We're going to be overhauling the site soon. I got to meet with SKV and figure out how we're going to get that done. Also a huge shout out before we go any further.

Huge shout out to wild rose branding. Follow them on social media. They're in Mesquite owned by a guy named Tim.

And Tim took care of. We have a bunch of temporary tattoos with the who needs to leave logo on them. They looked great.

Yes. I do believe there was one one on someone's forehead at one point. Yes.

That came out really well, actually. And they smart Walters for requesting that. They did an amazing job.

And we're going to be doing a lot of work with them down the road. And so anything you need branding wise. Not not branding irons branding on things.

You can go to their website. I believe it's make. Oh, I'm not.

It's the underscored wild underscore. No, that's on Instagram. Their website is not that.

Let me get it up here real quick. Look at that. It just comes up right there in the search oil.

Good. Makelifepersonal.com. Is their website make life personal.

And they are in downtown and old Mesquite on Main Street. And I mean, you brought some samples to one of the board meetings. They do the nice pens.

They have the stickers. They have, I mean, all kinds of ideas and work with you and your logos and everything. And they do a really nice job.

And Tim's a great guy. I had a chance to meet with him a couple of weeks ago. So we were trying to get everything together.

He got everything done early. So we could have the temporary tattoos ready on the day of who needs ink. And, you know, people came, got tattooed, even took a personal with them.

Took a temporary with them. And we're going to have them at our next event. And we're going to keep going.

Makelifepersonal.com is their website. So check them out. They have great prices on everything.

They do great work. Check them out on the web. All right.

So let's talk a little bit of TV news. You don't have a lot going on this week. I did not get to watch Raw or Smackdown this week.

So we're not going to have a ton of stuff in wrestling. But we've got some topics to talk about. Congratulations.

The Brooklyn 9.9 featuring Coconut Creek High School alumnus Joe the Trilio. They got renewed for season seven. Their second season on MTV on NBC.

Well, they have switched. Yes. They were on Fox.

You're allowed. But the thing is, Universal has always owned it. That's so.

I mean, it could have been on NBC all along. But NBC just let Fox let the day in the momentum. And then they just took it back.

Oh, that's cute. Yeah. The Sandlots going to be a television series.

But with the original cast. Wow. I was waiting to hear your reaction on this.

Well, we thought the same thing about Cobra Kai. You know what? I, I will totally take that.

And Cobra Kai was awesome. I just don't, I can't see the one-to-one on Sandlot. I got the gist with Cobra Kai, where you were saying it's the other side story now.

I don't get where Sandlot goes from here other than. Oh, God, please don't be a purely. It will go on.

Don't be a purely ex awful. It will go on forever. You're welcome.

And in some sad news this week, it came down Thursday. But apparently it happened on Wednesday. Luke Perry suffered a serious stroke this week.

Yes. On the eve of the announcement that Fox has picked up the 90210 revival. Yeah.

For this summer. We have not gotten any news on how he's doing. I've seen no.

But interestingly enough, most of the stuff I'm hearing is coming from people in AEW because his son signed. Yes. And there's been a lot of thanks from Jungle Boy.

Talk about that. That is the actual wrestling name. That is the actual wrestling name.

We're not naming him that. But he had a lot of, we're dealing with it. Thank you for the output.

We'll update you when we know. I mean, it was just, I saw that headline. I had to, I was like, well, what?

You know, it was crazy. Yeah, I'm not seeing two days ago is the most recent update. And it's, you know, he was taken to the hospital.

Right. TV on DVD and Blu-ray this week. If season four of Fear the Walking Dead for the nine of you still watching that show.

Season six of House of Cards, which I believe is the final season. I think so. Royal Rumble 2019.

If you want to relive those memories. No. And Super Bowl.

We is available for you this week. That's all. That's all we got on TV.

We're going to have the home shows back soon. We are. We are.

We are. We are. This close man.

We are this close. I'm. I may protest going back to Richardson though.

I'm just saying. It's not going up for me. It's going up for me.

We will not be in the studio next week because next week is WWE Fastlane. We will be live to tape next week. So you'll find out who won the belt at.

11 station chamber. Who won the toilet. It's underpriced.

It's underpriced. It's underpriced. It's underpriced.

It's underpriced. It's underpriced. It's underpriced.

So I will have the toilet in front of me for the shows only three weeks. I feel bad whoever gets the toilet at. I just feel bad whoever gets the toilet at.

I just think that there's like a seven week stretch between many of you. And as terrible of a person as I am. I kind of hope it's somebody on the show.

I have so too. Because then it's fun. We have it on air.

And it's right there. What the gap is between Mania and the next one, I want to say it's six weeks, but I am Rough estimate on that one April to May May is They don't have the next one listed on Wikipedia. Oh, that's interesting because I what is that they have money in the bank in June Right, no, the next one that's you the only ones they have listed for 2019 are fast lane Russell Mania and Somerslam in survivor series That's surprising because I feel like I've seen a list somewhere I'll let's see here Because last year's gap would probably get well, you know what it is is because I think after WrestleMania is the next Saudi show Oh, so you're thinking that that may be their pay-per-view and they don't do anything else because after that was backlash a week later Because you still have what's the backlash and then the sub Arabian show it was okay British rail rumble April 27th and then backlash May 6th But you're gonna have a pay-per-view anyway because remember you can't have the women on the card in Saudi Arabia Right, that was the whole thing with evolution falling where it did that's true.

So we'll keep you updated on that and which one the next week That's just fast lane, okay I'll get you my picks. I don't look at anything too quick. They keep pivoting the card at this point Yeah, no, I won't do it till morning of but no, no, I understand that just and there's gonna be a lot of weird Well, and there's gonna be there could be some something really cool happening to so Speaking of which I want to Pull this up real quick so we're ready for it.

I'm not a hundred percent sure what he's talking about now either Oh, you'll know as soon as I show it to you. Oh as soon as I as soon as we get there. Okay.

Yes Oh, I Guarantee you there will be at least one wait. That's not where I thought you were going That's not where I'm going. Okay.

Yeah, there's gonna be at least one of us doing that and I can say that his name is me I didn't see the back of it. No, you didn't see the back That was what really sold me on it put a pin on it. We'll get back to the rest.

Yeah, we'll get to it Let's get to P.O.I cuz P.O.I. It's gonna be all right Let's do this P.O.I stands for person of interest It's a segment we do on this show each and every week where we take a person or an entity and we debate their greatness or lack There are lacking we have been holding on to this P.O.I for three months General Buckleman cuz this is gonna be this is gonna be a thing So for P.O. and not in a good way.

This is gonna be a really good P.O.I. that we're very passionate about Okay, and for P.O.I. for P.O.I.

I'm gonna send it live to the middle of the desk with Alex Alex. You have me Dude I okay Go Third-party ticket sales. I hate you Everybody hates you you found a niche to make it very the lead right?

Oh, yeah Forget that they should be set on fire Let's let's talk about the background of what led this to be a P.O.I Rewind the clock okay to about what we say three and a half weeks ago. It's been longer I thought I think that was mid-February okay. Yeah, it was I think it was February 10th or it's but at the same time.

It's I want to Point this part out missing an event because there's a lot of fans that want to go Totally okay with totally on board with that. I have zero problem. I wanted this to succeed I wanted the event to sell out But when it sells out because 60% Estimated of the tickets go to a third-party seller who have then jacked them up 27 times let's back it up a little bit.

I'm back as parade a few flows. I'm coming down. I'm coming down What we're talking about is back in the day when you wanted to go to a concert Mm-hmm the thing to do was You lined up outside the box office because the internet wasn't a thing kids There was a time when there was no internet So an example with this would be when I was in college my freshman year of college I was at the University of South Florida and the guy that lives next door to me in the dorm Guy been named Maddie Landine who is still a friend of mine on Facebook to this day big fan of that guy He was a huge YouTube fan huge YouTube fan Well, the zoo TV tour which was from octane baby kicked off in Lakeland, which was about an hour and a half South East of Tampa, but it's a nice drive from there And it was just weird that the Lakeland Civic Center was the kickoff for a you to tour that is a valid point So the day before the tickets went on sale it was Valentine's Day actually I My girlfriend at the time told me I could not stay there with him the entire day because it was Valentine's Day And I was thankful because she bought us tickets for Wayne's World Wayne's World opened on Valentine's Day in 1992 That's right.

I said it. I remember that. Oh, I was nice So I spent most of the day day there because she was in class all day.

I didn't have Friday classes So we got up in the morning and we went out there We sat in line. It was this great communal experience. We were you know Play it throw in the football around not in tuxedos You're welcome internet and just having a great time But you stood in line and when the tickets went on sale you got to the box office and you bought your tickets and That was where best available came what is the best available when you get there now Back then you had ticket brokers is what they're called.

That's not yeah, that's it make that up as we call them Who would pay people to stand in line and buy as many tickets as they possibly could and Then resell them at a higher rate and the good tickets Mm-hmm, and even sometimes they were the the higher seats and you were paying for what other people were paying for floor seats Like right the markup was insane But it was kind of an accepted evil Because it was also a smaller focal point of it. There was harder to catch. Yeah Well, then the internet comes along at post pearl jam going to war with ticket master Who would have known that they would be the voice or reason?

Nope, you're welcome So in the internet age what we have now is we have these ticket brokers that have now gone online And they have created this thing they call they're called bots and what bots do is they're automated Programs that get in before the public can somehow we're not crying a lot of times there's theory Well, no, a lot of time about gotta be showed about a month ago There's a lot of times that there is a pre-sale for larger events where you have to they try to weed it out When in fact it winds up working in the opposite effects a lot of times because you sign up for the pre-sale because it usually requires you to Click something that says I am not a robot or something along those lines, but it's just clicking So at the same time is they try to weed out or make sure that Quote unquote real fans are signed up for the pre-sale to then purchase tickets and get first dibs versus somebody who just stumbles across it now one of the original ideas for this was wanting to make sure you had real fans up close to the stage One of the earlier adopters of this was Billy Joel where he was like I want people that are gonna be singing along I want people that are gonna be into the concert if we're recording this I want them front row so it looks like everybody's into it whether or not they are We don't want people to just have enough money to sit there and just wind up, you know doing nothing while I'm pouring my heart out on them set of keys And then everybody else started to adopt this thinking oh we can get People up close we can get people really into it. It gives it a really good vibe So they started doing pre-sales where fans would sign up on a website and then get first access Rob fast-forward to a month ago There's an event coming up in Moral Day weekend in Vegas double or nothing it'll be all the wrestling's very first official event Some of us were very passionate about this event Had a plan in place to being one of the first people in To want to go to this event Perhaps a road trip was involved. Mm-hmm Perhaps a show was even partially planned for this Tried maybe to get in on wrestlecade Allegedly star cast I'm gonna call it either way you're right though.

Yeah And then this happened six minutes in No tickets available Six minutes in and it was nosebleeds or nothing After you registered with a with an email address to get Basically a code to be in a waiting room to be called on to get the tickets. Mm-hmm 30 minutes of waiting toward the tickets to become available in line With the range selected of on the floor To anywhere up through the first bowl And I was told there were no tickets six minutes in And you know what the funny part is They supposedly held tickets back for the regular sale allegedly allegedly I was in that one in three minutes No tickets available in the upper deck Even But guess what I found oh I know what you found yeah, uh you were messaging me. I was living Oh, I was so livid because I and I I will say this and I want to reiterate over and over again If there's that many fans that were willing to jump on it I'm totally okay missing the event The problem is you in some cases there was yes in some cases there but you have dozens of tickets Being marked up ridiculous levels on multiple sites and even people on social media going hey I had no interest but I was able to get in because opportunity and now they're charging The biggest markup and I honestly I should have just tried to shoot for ringside first and worked backwards Instead of leaving that wide of a gap for it to work on And those tickets at least right now there is one set of them going for well They're not going anywhere because Thankfully people aren't paying it $5,700 for $200 tickets Oh my gravy.

Okay, so then I pivoted and it was telling Rob You know what maybe I'll get into a VIP package or something It'll be like 200 bucks a piece or something like that The seats will be further back but you have your own entrance or whatever Those are now available for about 3,300 And it's one and the problem exists That people will still pay for it. That's the problem here That's what I'm but what I'm worried about is that they won't I'm more worried that people won't pay that but there's the pro of That Maybe ticket brokers will learn their lesson Scared and say just absolutely gouging people But here's the problem either the brokers quote-unquote win Or this show looks like trash right because the problem that exists is if you can get two people To pay that You're not taking a loss on the other 50 tickets you bought correct You price them to wear one ticket covers you for everything exactly and the funny part is they were better worked up from all in There's a sucker born every minute PT Barnum said it Yeah, thanks Hugh Jackman So because of that Is this perpetuates the problem And so we have to deal with you know people want to get together and say guys We have to get to stop we have to stop this because The average fan is just getting screwed But the problem is you have these people that have that money to burn And they do because they can't and that perpetuates the cycle and the other problem with it and I'm sorry You're gonna say even at the standard ticket prices anymore I mean it's And I understand people have worth and people have value and talent takes time. I mean I get that.

I'm not saying that but Getting to go to a concert and when you're a true fan Versus I have to take out a second mortgage on my house Because I'm a true fan. There's a huge difference And these ticket brokers aren't helping it any because part of the reason the prices are growing up It's because the artists are hoping well maybe then the ticket brokers can't jack it up enough Or they're also if the ticket broker can make 50 on my tickets Why don't I just charge 50 in the first place that that's what people are willing to pay And it's a vicious cycle that has no end in sight And the other hard part you have is with the bands artists companies however you want to look at it Do they really care on the financial side Because you're looking at it and it's like for them It's a sell out. It's a success.

It's a great story But the problem is is then you get to the event and your venues have full yeah And you're going to move people down and wrote and just Sheet off. It's H-E-E-T off sections of your arena And you know nxt when they came to town in november is another prime example Yep, we were gonna try to get tickets because egg nxt was playing at gillies And we know how much we enjoy that venue in the way it's set up and it's nxt tickets went on sale Alex calls me and goes dude they went on sale at 10 o'clock It's 10.02 the all the tickets are gone and there's an average of 400 percent markup right now Yep in the last in 10 minutes And again this perpetuates the problem And it's it's not going to fix itself It's it's just not it's because no matter how smart you are there's always somebody smarter and it's called a computer program Yeah, so we need to find somebody in the wrestling world for me to date that can then get us in in on tickets is that what I'm hearing Hey, she said it we didn't yeah, we know oh yeah, you know, I'm putting myself out there Nobody's nobody's making money off this I might find a way As the person who's mad at the ticket brokers, I might find a way, but I'm just saying you know We know people in the wrestling world do you watch this show? I'm just you know making an offer Because of my phone on fire you might want to specify on that offer Because it sounds bad in other ways, but at the same time I don't know if it gets this tickets to a wrestling match do we really want me to put parameters out there for it front What That's valid There's no there's no good answer to that question.

There's just isn't you know Helping the team here all about the team, but the other aspect that rob and I were talking about is because it seems to hit These one-off events more versus a tour Is there's been a long standing problem with Braw and Smackdown attendants now Ron Smackdown doesn't cost as much as a pay-per-view Penor when it is well, but what I'm saying is take on average on average Ron Smackdown doesn't cost as much live shows cost even less But they happen weekly they've always happened weekly other than very very select situations So what you have is This problem where the venues have been half empty and it looks terrible for business But WWE still making a good amount of money now one of the problems that WCW had way back in the day was they lost money every time they went out on tour Yep Well, how would WWE be making money yet? They're filling less of an arena that WCW was in times So at the same time you're wondering are these brokers the ones buying these half empty seats? Absolutely so Now you have a situation where they could easily argue Well, yeah, the venues have empty so we just move everybody over to opposite camera side Yep, and that way you don't see and you're fine Just make sure the lower balls fall for the for the ring level site exact shots.

You know we're about anything else Because I've been to more than one event at the American Airlines Center for WWE where we were on camera side And you could you know you could throw a rock across a section and not hit a soul Because they made sure that the side that the cameras were pointing out were full to make it look more full But at the same time it's just it goes back to Brokers ruin Business and they're like you said there's no there's no solution Because the problem is is for the and I understand this from the talent aspect in order for them to solve anything on it They would have to say I don't care as much about selling out a venue And to AEW's credit this is not what they did they they really did make an effort to make this as far as possible But I think the only way that there's going to be a solution to this is if not the venue But if the people having the event Don't get any money unless there's as the Southwest Airlines motto is buts and seats or But the problem is is then you're telling them that they They have to sacrifice and that's not going to happen well But they'll put a stop to the ticket broker They'll find a way to put it to stop to the ticket brokers if they're not going to make money If there's not an actual person the only way the only way you could less than this Is to go back to the old school no phones no internet you show but the box office and buy tickets Or I'll go one I'll try and combine the two Your presale is in person only I would say all sales in person only See but the problem is is you're going to need that online for them to be able to sell out Which is what they want to do So at the same time if everything's in person Uh, let's look at double or nothing is this yeah, there's a lot of people in Vegas How many people in Vegas are actually going to that event well, but here's the solution It's the way you did it in the old school and they didn't sell out You're telling me WrestleMania never sold out. Oh, I'm not saying WrestleMania never So that's what I'm saying But what I've got outlets all over the country that sell tickets So if it's WrestleMania day I didn't think something is by phone I believe at that time they sold tickets, but you could do it. You could do it in person too.

I know I've done it Yeah, so I could go to Macy's Line up first thing in the morning. Mm-hmm You know, and so when 8 a.m. Comes up on that day.

I'm at the box office I'm ready to buy my ticket because what every year when WrestleMania tickets go on sale What do they show they show all the people lined up at the box office? Mm-hmm And as they come out hey, I'm going to WrestleMania And but there again if you go to that you'll still have people little higher people that don't have a job that will be But at least you'll have and you just put a limit on the number of tickets you can buy and don't even announce that until the line up happens That's actually how AEW did it you couldn't buy more than six at a time, but the bots kept Right, but again if you had everybody in person and they were already in line Mm-hmm, you'd have to go back You know, I'm having visions of ready player one and everybody in their little pods Lining up to take the spot to buy the tickets But if I've got to be there in person and I'm going to commit to being in line You know, I'm only going to want a couple of tickets And if if a bunch of us are going then we take a bunch of us to the line And that way you can keep the brokers guessing Well, we don't know how many tickets are going to be allowed to buy so do I say 20 people or do I send three people or do I say 90 people to 90 different locations It's an intriguing idea. It's ruining the experience Well, it's just making it to where it's cost-inhibitive People can't afford to go and enjoy things anymore And it's a shame And there's also the advent of them saying well The people that would spend to go there Are going to pay to see it online or they're going to pay to see it on TV There's that's and that's another big problem because I know rob and I came down to the conclusion of Well, I do have an option to buy upper deck tickets But by that point I'd rather just get it online and be able to see what's going on Distance not a strong suit for me.

Yeah, but there's there's a thing about being a fan and being there with the energy that just Well, the problem is the problem is is what if there's no energy because it's It's too bad. Oh, sorry. I'm trying to keep was it garbage again?

Uh, and kind of sort of it was garbage All right, so let's just good discussion brokers are bad. Yeah, nobody going Let's keep it. Let's let's talk about the alliance This is the first thing I didn't get to watch any alliance football Because I was it who needs ink all day and you can't yell at anybody for not doing their homework.

Yeah But nobody picked up my slack either. That's also just Alex. I was busy So let's talk about what's been happening this week in the af Yesterday's early game Memphis beat San Diego to get their first win by three.

Is that their first one? Yes, it is Memphis's first one or landowner still undefeated after beating salt lake by nine San Antonio Holds on against Birmingham. Was it 12-3 final 12-11.

Oh, so Birmingham did score and got the conversion and got the conversion Under the two-minute warning, but San Antonio holds on to win Arizona and Atlanta fires up here in about 14 minutes And interestingly enough if you have the app you can watch the raw feed of the pregame right now Yeah, that was something that we did was we were sitting in the car waiting to come to the studio They have a thing on the app called the alliance raw and it's not about wrestling You're literally just watching the drone footage There's no Commentary no replay no nothing and you hear every Thing so it is not for children. No, don't don't don't watch that with the kids And I hope there's no eagles flying by Next week's show Orlando will be at burning him in the early game Saturday at one o'clock. So they're going earlier Earlier this week not three and seven.

They're going one and seven on Saturday that game will be on TNT So be prepared for that Saturday night salt lake will be at San Diego on the NFL network next Sunday The early game Memphis at Atlanta will be on CBS sports network and then San Antonio at Arizona Sunday night on NFL network That's next week now somebody could be joining another league Because if you're Johnny man's ill you're not allowed back in the country of Canada It's been well you're allowed in the country. You're not allowed to work in there It's been a rough week for the man's ill household let's just say you see the alliance response on that The alliance told him no right no the alliance said we'll think about it depending on what got you kicked out of Canada Well, and now he may be talking to the XFL people too and apparently not care apparently now the Calling cappernick 20 million dollar story Was debunk Apparently that was the XFL not the aft. Ah So did you hear about the other half of the man's ill problem household this week?

Oh, oh are you talking about this to you directly you're talking about misses man's ill correct, okay So breathe Tessie man's ill took part in the run like a diva half marathon on February 16th in Temecula Finish her first half marathon allegedly in an hour 58 minutes and 22 seconds, which would be a record By over 10 minutes, however, did you catch the specifics on that though? It puts her faster than 73% of the female runners And within the first 30 minute finishers male or female that had 411 Entries What did you happen to catch the fact that at the halfway point where they clocked her it was still like an hour 20 or an hour 30 So at the point where yeah, they finished the first half 131 29 and the second half yeah the exact same distance in 26 minutes and 53 seconds yeah So either talk about talk about like a second win You'll I'm starting to think that you know superheroes are not like if people really had superpowers This is what we would have because there wouldn't be good people The theory is they cut one of the laps which would account for it on a lack of an 11 mile split time That still doesn't equate you need to skip like four laps Screenshots by dead spin and for the win show her trying to prove her time with a photo at the mile 11 marker which she calls satin pathetic And this was a charity race yield So rough week in the man's L household yes, it was Uh no big music headlines. They were all pretty much dominated by one person.

I don't want to talk about it Music new releases in places you get new new music this week buck cherries back With a new album called war paint Intriguing just talking about them with uh friend of the show Adrian last night David grays back with an album called gold at a brass age Dito back with a new album this week and she'd like to thank you She would like to still on my mind is the name of the album fly to the concords live in London Yes, where No, they don't sound like they're from there.

We all gone If you just generous just like I'm just like if I ignore it one of these we go away We have one in memoriam this week and this one's kind of a big one Actually, I had a couple all right who you got I have Because the one the one I've got is Catherine Helmand. Yeah, um We also have Janice Freeman who was a voice contestant.

Yes, that happened today. It's a matter of fact age 33 from a blood plot. Oh um Nathaniel Taylor from Sanford and Sun passed away at the age I did see a passing reference to that.

Yes The 27th Andrea Preven the composer. Mm-hmm. He died on the 28th the age of 89 One of the scores he's known for is my fair lady which my sister senior year that was her musical.

So okay There's a tie there. You mentioned Catherine Helmand. We were talking about her here in a minute and then Lisa Sheridan from Halton catch fire was on the 25th.

She was 44 So that's a lot sweet. The Catherine Helmand. I think was the biggest of the bunch Uh Born in Galveston.

Oh, so she is a native Texan Uh, she was raised by her mother and grandmother both devout Roman Catholics. She went to Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina Did her stage debut and as you like it in 1955 For me she was the crazy kooky mom on who's the boss Ah Well, she was due to the lights mother. Yeah, that's right Uh The always remember there's one episode where she had gone on one of her hot dates and come back and she had had a A flower flower tied to her sweater And she couldn't find it and Danny Pintaro who played the son found it pinned to the back of her her sweater because she had put it back on backwards And it was those kind of zany antics.

This is a little one great actress. She was on soap Uh, you know, she's just that one. I was like oh, I got that text and I was like man Uh, she also was on coach She owned the football team Uh, let's see she uh, she was also on everybody loves Raymond where she was raised mother in law She was also on the glades on a and then she also guest start on true blood nominated for a 1973 Tony award For uh, the great god brown nominated for an Emmy four times in a row for soap And she was also nominated for who's the boss and she was also she's so total of seven Emmy awards And she's got she did win two golden globes One for who's the boss and one for soap So our deepest to all of those people their family their friends and their fans All right Gonna go ahead and say You ready Let's talk NBA It's garbage.

There we go in the eastern conference Why did a default to play out so we're not ready yet In the eastern conference division When you can beat either New York teams. It's a pretty good day because the nicks are 13 and 50 They've lost two in a row. They're 33 games back So they could almost triple their win total and almost be it first place So if we're if we're pivoting for the NBA version of sucking for luck That the cults did so are they trying to suck for us?

I am if you know what I mean And if you cut their their the number of games they're back in half they'd still be a game and a half behind Brooklyn Wow Brooklyn is uh seven and a half back on the Celtics the Celtics are two and a half back on the six There's now Toronto with winning two in a row They are now six up in the division in the central division the Cavaliers There are only two games better than the than the nicks They're also 33 games back in the division But they're only five and a half or yeah three and a half back two and a half back on Chicago Chicago is 18 back on Detroit Detroit is 10 and a half back on Indiana Milwaukee has clinched a playoff birth at this point because they're the only ones in their division trying They're up seven and a half currently in the southeast division the Atlanta Hawks 22 and 42 Your eight games back That's how bad this division is And that's my division They are four games back on the Wizards the Wizards are three games back on my heat her in the middle of the pack Miami's but there's only a game back because there's a half game back on Charlotte Charlotte's a half game back on Orlando right now But you realize they're eight games back but remember the NBA more than half the teams make the playoff Yeah, but I like they're not just doing it by Like when the division you're in it's the top eight teams Yeah, which I respect about that in the western conference specific division phoenix is 13 and 51 They're 31 and a half back They would have to cut their games back 17 and a half to catch the next person behind them which is the Lakers Who are no longer trying At all the Lakers are a game and a half back on Sacramento Sacramento's three and a half back on the Clippers the Clippers now Nine back on Golden State in the Southwest division Memphis at 25 and 39 They're they're horrible. They're three and a half back on the Mavericks the Mavericks seem to be free falling right now And I kind of feel bad for Dirk Nabitsky like I respect Doc Rivers coming out and that was that was recognizing him in a game You know what the NBA is garbage Doc Rivers you get a pass But did you see what Dirk said after the game? No, I miss that apparently the decisions already been made Oh, I can't realize that was up for a debate He hasn't said he's retiring.

I don't pay attention to the NBA until there's he has not said the words yet Wow So and I've always respected Doc Rivers. I like Doc Rivers. He has some dumb moments But he's a player his heart's in the right place.

Yes there Dallas is a half game back on fly Who is six and a half back on San Antonio San Antonio's now three and a half back on Houston because San Antonio's one two in a row Houston's on a five game win streak Because teams don't play defense. No, or because James Harden just shoots all the time Did you see that bit with Atlanta the other night? I wish I hadn't he's on this streak of 30 point games.

Yeah, 28 points with less than five seconds to go Yeah, he troubles up the score and all they were killing him. Yeah, all five members of Atlanta on the court blocked him So we couldn't get the 30 Would you hear what he said after the game? Yeah, I'm never gonna catch will why does this matter?

Why because you're taking 92 Got your beard hole The running beard as Poppy calls it shut his beard hole in the Northwest division Minnesota is four games under 500. They're 13 games back They are seven back on Utah who's one four in a row In contrast Oklahoma cities lost four in a row and there's still two games ahead of Utah Oklahoma cities a half game back on Portland Portland now three and a half back on Denver watch the Denver nuggets and saying it now If there's a team that can give golden state problems. It's gonna be Denver Just saying it Doesn't put it out there because I can So let's look at your playoff picture right now.

It's okay. I want to I want you to focus on the microcosm Mm-hmm that has happened with the southeast division That were terrible. No, no, no Just the microcosm of who's leading the division and where they fit into the playoffs Okay, Orlando leading the division right now.

Uh-huh If the playoffs are today Orlando would be the 8c the last seed in and you're winning your division But did what did I just say we're a terrible division NBA is garbage So Orlando would face mill walkie Detroit would face Toronto Brooklyn would face Indiana and then you'd have Philly embossed it in the eastern conference and the western A fun one And the western conference you'd have San Antonio golden state Clippers Denver You hear that sound That's the broom. Oh, I thought that was crickets Utah and Portland I'm sorry Yeah, Utah and Portland and then Oklahoma City Houston Houston Houston That's the other playoff started the lie Which hopefully they will soon and we don't have to talk about it for all yeah All right, let's talk resting a little bit and tying back into football Did you see your Seattle XFL head coach and GM has been announced I did see that welcome back to football Jim Zorn Well, Jim Zorns always around football. He's 140.

He's like bigfoot He just randomly shows up in the northwest Nicely play I'm gonna give you that one And that one eventually yeah, you're welcome. Well, I have to reach farther for that So sometimes I can get to it and sometimes there are no wheels anymore But if you wanted here's your updated for the expected for the pay-per-views that we were looking for more Yeah, okay, I'll get to it in just a minute just you know where oh you found that on CBS. Yes, I did I'm surprised that they don't have that on the compete yet Hmm, it's crazy.

Oh, he was taking his share and your share and my share Antoine share apparently That one shocked me Yeah, but it's one of those where it's he took the fall for people He has the right people in the right but last I knew even him and Hogan were on bad terms I believe he's actually living with Valentine right now He's doing an appearance here and in the Houston Houston Houston area sometimes.

I'm so excited for this Although they're not selling the tank top. He was wearing. I was a little mad at that Well, and he has apparently a fan asked him about the Dean situation And his response was I'm gonna fix it.

Yeah, so they're really hoping that he's able to change Dean's mind so In crazier news somehow I got a picture in my text message from Alex yesterday Wait, why am I getting blamed for something? What did I do? You didn't get blamed for you're just made me aware of it Oh, okay, and so I'm gonna pull up my text messages and I want you to pass this over to Jen room Actually, I'm gonna show it to her actually.

I'm gonna send it to her So that way there's no Where's the thing that the thing don't make so no dead air on that one right? No, okay, let me get there But to counter your point where you're saying Roman goes over Yes, that would be the right storybook way But I have a funny feeling that if they can't get Dean signed. Oh, they put it up now.

They're jerks But if they can't get Dean signed You're actually gonna have Ambrose cost the shield to match it fast lane To then have your last match for Ambrose in the company being against Roman at Mania So Jen's now got the picture I've sent her do you know what that is? Oh, yes, I don't I'm the one that originated the picture. I don't know what this is what's going on I somebody anybody.

It's so mayor Jacobs. Oh that yes Glenn Jacobs known as Kane now the The mayor of what is the Knoxville Knox County, Tennessee Dressed as the cat in the hat mind you. This is a seven foot man Reading oh the places you'll go on public access television Words cannot describe the insanity of this picture go google it right now The look it up the only thing that could make it better would be Jim Ross overlay of just going good god That's Kane So My graduating class the valedictorian read oh the places will go And several of us had gotten copies of the book and then we had a migration for people to sign oh nice And then on my way in I heard that there's a new doctor suce coming out which I don't know how that's possible since he's no longer with us I have not heard that but I'll take away.

Yeah, it was on the I was on the radio on the way in Uh Apparently Rhonda getting frustrated with creative right now And Becky Because what have I been saying for weeks do not take Becky Lynch on on social media she will win And she did again And there were layers yes and layers And I think Rhonda forgot it was a work After Becky's last one probably yeah, no when she started calling her out by given name and started threatening a lawsuit Yeah, that doesn't feel very and joining creative is one Dana warrior And a strange turn of events this week It makes no sense Madison rain now back with impact after leaving ro8 that was a cool creative differences Did you see how they revealed that no they they they had a really great silhouette of her That said just said the queen bee is back and it was really well done. So she gets to hang out with her husband again Rosemary has resigned with the company as has followed by So did you see the thing with about rosemary recently though maybe not uh sexy star Starting to speak her piece. Oh really.

Uh-huh. I know she just signed with somebody recently Uh, I believe she signed with a an MMA company. Okay But the whole ordeal was either a year or two ago She was accused of going shoot and dislocating rosemary.

Yes arm. Yes Turns out that may allegedly allegedly turns out that The arm may not have been dislocated But rosemary freaking out and flailing was what caused her to get hurt At least that's the story You can watch the match discernment for yourself I'm only reporting that sexy star is saying her piece from the triple her piece. He said her piece What else would it be?

It's not like you said her piece Oh, it is you know lucha doors lucha lucha doors And uh before we forget we got this that you gave me it will be the Saudi Arabia show will be May 3rd And then backlash will be in May right followed by in June money the bank which will have take over that weekend So because it is your fifth major We love money in the bank Champa may be injured Yeah, and they're not saying what it is yet all speaking of bad apparently the known dark injury is worse than we had anticipated originally Uh the the hardy boys have got a one-year contract extension Actually that was an option in their original contract that WWE then invoked Uh rick flair says Harley race has lung cancer originally reported as terminal but not terminal according to his people And pat McAfee back in the news again this week. He's now been endorsed by natural light Because what else goes with shorts. Well, but here's the thing about McAfee though.

He's on this keto thing He doesn't have to drink it. I'm just saying he's very public about this. So this is a little weird for me Maybe they're gonna have a low carb version coming out.

I guess. I don't know All right, let's talk hockey for just a minute What do you can you remind me of what you sent me Did they talk about oh the the interesting thing about the Boston Bruins who are currently in second place in the Atlantic division Did not lose one read a throw did not lose a game in the entire month of February They went undefeated for February Somebody wants their win and they capped it all off by beating the number one team in the NHL That would be my Tampa Bay Lightning thing pretty much although did Before we get into standings and anything more Matter of fact, did you see the video that came out with uh carry price of the Montreal canadian's Some of the mother the mother son thing. Yes.

Yes. I did that was the greatest go ahead and tell the story you brought that so uh A big fan of carry price thank you for that general by the way in Montreal Recently lost his mother to cancer young kid very very young kid who got to go to a practice and This is why the NHL is the greatest organization in sports Got to go he the kid could not contain himself obviously he's young so emotions hit him hard and the Canadians are you know As players taking the time to say what's up to the kid on their way off the ice Carry price notices that he has the jersey on stops to sign the kid is losing his mind He proceeds to try to tell carry price What the deal was carry price gets enough wind of it takes his helmet off sets a stick down Make sure to come around the stands to hug the kid as long as the kid wants to hold on Signs a stick gives it to him make sure that kid has tickets to the next game and You're right. I mean Overall hockey gets it.

I think better than just about any other sport of the majors They're fan interaction the action itself You know, they just they do probably the best PR job of the big four The NFL tries, but the NFL doesn't quite get there because You know all the entire game their people are inside helmets and you can't recognize them Baseball's just a mess normally anyway The NBA always a mess anyway the NHL. I just think that's it and Yes, the tickets are way too expensive But Hockey is my favorite sport to see live Baseball's better live Basketball is kind of the same either way. It's garbage.

Well, I mean I'm talking that's one general. That's the NBA Football is always fun live, but I'd rather watch football on TV. There's too much positivity to the The angles you get online compared to or on TV compared to being their live And if you talk basketball in general you do have to have the Harlem Globetrotters out there They put up they Mm-hmm great sweet Georgia, you know, they yeah, they're an entertainment team.

They're not a Championship team, but they're an entertainment team, but they get that they're nothing with other fans The champion these two teeth right here Happened the day I saw the Harlem Globetrotters before we went to the arena when I was kid stripped and fell And my mother will be the first to tell you what happened Never gets tied to telling that story All right, so let's get to some standings the Otter was senators Good news you have 51 points bad news.

They're not right cold pursuit I have a particular set of scales on a snow will be a drops from eight to fifteen one point six million dollars I still don't have a budget, but it's made almost thirty million dollars That's probably about what it made you gotta figure.

I don't have a budget on it though I mean it's it's got to be getting close to budget because there's no this is a huge budget film There's some select people involved so we still got it to go see that green book back at the top ten this week after the Oscar's winning best picture Drop jumps from 11 to five another four point seven million dollars sixteen weeks seven eighty million dollars This was a twenty three million dollar budget on this film Oh outside of Ali and Morton's and what did you really have in it Linda Carleini? Ah, it's like the great one And I mean, and that's what should happen with an Oscar winner is they should have You know The big budget to do it there's and there's a headline from another one this week Lego movie two drops in the bronze middle to fourth place six point seven million dollars four weeks ninety one million dollars Alita battle angel drops from the silver to to the bronze this week another seven million dollars.

This is gonna be tough for them Three weeks seventy two million dollars. They're still a hundred million below budget Before we get too far away. Wasn't it the rumor that Lego movies budget was 90 million so they just broke that It's not on the website, but you're probably right.

Okay. I believe Don reported it is 90 Tyler Perry's a Medea family funeral because that's a thing debuts in the silver medal this week twenty seven million dollars for this film Because there's a following for the Medea films, but it can't beat how to train your dragon the hidden world another thirty million dollars this week's two weeks 98 million dollars is a hundred and thirty million dollars They're gonna be okay. Oh get there.

All right. So speaking of Oscar winners because we demanded it A star is born getting back into theaters with eleven more minutes of suck Is this the one I sent you? No, I knew about it before you sent it.

I Still won't see it. I will. I haven't even I think I've heard the song, but I've listened very shallow deserved to win It was good to win regardless because of the momentum that it had.

It's a great song The movie sucks It's terrible and see I'd love Not love I would like for you to see one of the two earlier versions and see I guarantee you they're both better Okay, cuz I'm trying to determine if it's the story or if it's the filming itself. I love the story I think it's a beautiful story Okay, this execution was terrible because I've seen the Streisand version. I know how it ends.

Okay It's just a terrible execution Bradley Cooper does not and I've said it before Bradley Cooper just takes two hours and fifteen minutes of my life and does his best Chris Christopher Steven personation I love Bradley Cooper. I am a huge fan of Bradley Cooper. This is terrible.

They had no chemistry. She was good But they had no chemistry Sam Elliott was wasted in this film and not in the way that Bradley Cooper's character was It's just terrible. It's horrid.

Is there somewhere they could see your full opinion on them? They probably could if they wanted to go to www.theclubhousepodcast.com But you got to just have it.

That is my favorite X-Men arc. So I'm willing to give it but in comparison though for the books Yeah, I get you on that, but I'm willing to give it a pass just because I like getting it I mean I'll go yeah But and apparently they say something you see in the trailer is not a fake out.

Are we on it? Let's do it and I'm gonna hand it to you because this is your idea. All right Well, I was trying to get creative with it and I was thinking you know Let's throw a list together where we can all participate This is full.

This is full group part and I The first time ever that that's nice, but Alex thinking kind of has me scared. Don't worry the burning subsides for the first time in almost 480 episodes everybody's gonna be involved in the list. So and only two people in the room know what it is Well, but I think that Ms.

Rome can I know she'll she'll be there. She'll be in on she just doesn't know what it is yet Okay, so what we were thinking of was a situation now This has been an idea that we have kicked back and forth for probably about a month now. Uh-huh About the idea of doing a list that is not in a particular order, but that we're gonna hit the magic number We have a particular set of order Where we'll go ahead and say, you know what each of us will take turns saying something that would fit that list.

Uh-huh. I like now Obviously there's there's going to be a niche on this because it is really cold if you're not in Texas or you don't know It is really cold in Texas single digits with the windshield tonight kids Get your faucet stripping so your your pipes don't freeze. Okay.

I have to tell them It is cold enough that it actually popped the soul of my shoe from being attached because I thought you were going to say it popped your soul from your body It was no that was me. That was my soul. That was something earlier in the week that happened This is the weather that caused this okay, so but it is really cold in Texas, but baseball is starting to heat up What's it is spring training and we're doing she's still losing and we're only a few weeks away from the regular season starting So we can have a sport that isn't terrible Beside the NHL.

Let's go braves me And let's go braves the idea is to get yourself amped up because not everybody can get the spring training games They want but everybody can get movies. So what baseball movies would you recommend? To get you fired up for the season For me I'm going to cheat a little bit and say I always go to the Kevin Costner combo Between bolder um And for love of the game I know the second one's not as popular, but I Absolutely love for love of the game you did not go where I thought you were gonna go for that where did you think I was gonna go Another Kevin Costner baseball movie, which could be I'm really no no I'm leaving that one open for later in the list But you said Kevin Costner combo.

Yeah, but that one makes me cry Yeah, I want to be happy it is it is it is a great movie, but so Depending on who wants to take number nine. I way do we want to go. I will I will concede to the lady of the house well for me It always will be a league of their own there it is great film great film I have and it's you mentioned something to the day about music taking you back to something I did indeed on fish on social media.

I had a date For league of their own and I will always remember that date. It was just one of those standout dates And I will say one of the truly great Madonna songs This used to be my playground. Yeah, absolutely And also a great introduction to Rosie O'Donnell for people who didn't know or heard some of her best work Laurie Petty Uh-huh, Dana Davis of course Tom Hanks Thanks with one of the one of the great Movie history that's some great pay and Of the one that the one that everybody quotes.

Yeah, okay. I believe somebody posted a shirt with that on it recently Probably one of the one of the friends of the show uh with the there's no crying in baseball I will go ahead and not bury the lead here We mentioned it earlier in this show And what we someday will hope will be the first of our commentary tracks. Yes, the sandlot Absolutely.

This is a movie. I cannot get enough of um, you know The fact that they toured the country for the 25th anniversary and they showed it at baseball stadiums where people basically camped out of the outfield Absolutely I love this movie on so many levels. I don't I don't think I've ever met anybody who didn't because if I did I would probably cut them out of my life.

I would punch them in the throat. I wouldn't take that effort I would send them back to Russia because that's where they came from because that's communism so uh The next one and I might be stealing one from you a little bit, but it is Probably my favorite one Major League absolutely. I was gonna say any of the trilogy, but I'm going to say Wait, I'm going to say this and I'm gonna back up general I like every major league movie now granted.

They're not as good as the first. I didn't say I didn't like them. I just Okay, no no no the first Major League 2 Back to the minors is what it is for Scott back the first one We had it in my theater in high school and it was one of those that I watched every day Because I love that movie so much and and I will say also I don't care how many times I see him Starting to sell me all state.

He will always be Pedro Serrano to me. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Well, he's Pedro Serrano and the president No, no, he's only Pedro Serrano to me You may hit like maize, but you run like That's all I'm saying. No, no, you may run like maize, but you you you ruined it. You hit like Yeah, all right Yo boo really before anybody knew Really before anybody knew who Wesley snipes was also true wakes up in the bed in the park Cut already And then there's another belief You can't say that on the radio.

Hey, nobody. Well, I got a guy on the other line looking at some white wall Let's see. There's a couple of scenes in that trailer one that never made the movie another one that actually made the second film If you watch the original trailer for Major League, there's a scene when when baringer gets the call Yeah, remember you remember where he was when he got the call Uh, a sleep in bed.

Mm-hmm hung over from a party with a somber arrow on his head and on the phone He says who's pulling this trick and who's this chick on top of me. Yeah, did not make the film now at the end of the trailer for the first major league It's the scene where they're all in the restaurant. Mm-hmm.

And Uh, Charlie Sheen is not feeling real good about himself. Yeah, and baringer says you know that ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks And he says name one and he goes yellow stone that made it into the second film. Yes, in a different setting I know I'm not saying the other two aren't good Omar Epps is not Willie Mays Hayes Although we do like Omar Epps big fan Omar Epps.

He's just not Willie Mays Hayes And three was just unnecessary It was just unnecessary. All right, general um one that Probably a lot of people don't even know or remember uh mr. baseball That's all i love mr.

baseball The reason a lot of people won't talk about that movie is there is a line in that film That does not hold up well. No, when he describes playing in japan. Yeah ties No, no, no, that's a good line though when he starts going on but mr.

baseball a good film very enjoyable film Also one of my favorite moments in that is I learned a japanese custom that if you get drunk and cuss out your boss He can't do anything about it and he shows up with sock So that was a great pleasure. I gave you two chances to name this next film. Oh, I've been leaving it for somebody else Oh, no, no, not the one I mentioned earlier.

Oh, there's another film that has been overlooked so far And I've now given you two chances and you have not taken up on it. Mm-hmm. The natural.

Oh, that's actually what I was gonna go to next Just they still play that song to this day at the ballpark with some of his home grew that is absolutely true Spoiler alert not a huge fan of the natural. I don't feel like it. Oh, I love it.

I like it one boy The only thing that I distinctly remember from that movie is he knocked the cover off the ball. Mm-hmm, and then Diabetes gets so distracted. Wilford brimley.

Wilford brimley. Thank you Get so distracted. He starts drinking brown water out of the fountain.

That's literally the only thing that he knocks the lights out Well, yeah, there's that but remember the movie what came out when I was eight months old That's for you. Yeah, maybe it was a little earlier. I might have been four months Yeah General wait a minute.

Wait, are you skipping me now? Oh, that was your bitterness. I'm sorry I thought you had gone you talked so long.

Go ahead. Oh, sorry I didn't mean to don the segment so I will go with The bad news bears the original the original remake as much as I love building up forten Not the there is no remade original But nobody's Walter Matthew eat absolutely and the other one is I always had a A place in my heart even for the terrible versions of like breaking train or a breaking training was it breaking training Breaking training and in Japan. I don't like to in Japan a lot.

Okay, but the original was just too perfect For the love of the game I thought it was for love of the game or it is it a That was one of the ones I mentioned as part of the combo, but for love of the game is amazing Very underrated film very much though, but it was I thought it was very cool How they spliced it together with for those that don't know when a picture is throwing a no-hitter or a perfect game spoiler alert Nobody talks to them. They are left to themselves So the idea of wandering off I think too thought yeah, I think baseball is the most superstitious of all the majors Oh, absolutely hockey's a close second It's in there. Yeah playoff breards and things of that.

Mm-hmm But the way that they play that off actually works a lot better I've got a second baseman who hasn't washed his Talk strapping three months because he thinks flies are lucky Again, Major League greatness. Absolutely. They actually did a a Take on that on the Goldbergs About three weeks ago really yes very very funny Which they did they know the part when in Major League with the with the cut out of the owner Yeah, they did that with the deal away.

Yeah, they did that with the gym teacher and they were like this is a terrible idea. Oh my god I love the Goldbergs So it is to me Hmm Because I'm yeah, I'm saving the big one. I'm gonna let you take that oh no I'm I'm I'm bypassing the big one because I already got the next one you do feel the dreams go for it Feel the dreams.

I mean, I was born in Iowa Yeah, and they that field went through a little vandalism last year Because people are inherently jerked on those people were arrested. Yeah, and they deserve every bit It's on the list of it's okay for guy cry movies Oh, I 100 that first movie I ever watched that I cried at and I didn't understand why fox in the hound Well, that's the first time I remember crying. Yeah, no, no And I can tell you exactly why it was he the closing scene and I'm not going to get started anything That movie came out around the same time my dad started traveling for work.

So he wasn't around his Oh, wow, so that closing scene Baroque me this heaven nope, it's Iowa Although I do have a huge problem with that movie The joe Jackson problem What is he stepping out tonight Crickets, please is you really going out with him More crickets nope. No, I could In the movie in the movie joe Jackson is right handed. Thanks Ray Leota You leave you leave a national treasure like Ray Leota alone.

No, no, I don't have a problem with you Karen I don't have a problem with Ray Leota. He should not have been cast as joe Jackson Or they should have found somebody who was left handed or they should have just flipped the Okay, I'll give you that my thumbs flip the film so he looks left handed. I'm sorry either way He's joe Jackson is left handed And you hired a right handed Italian Hey, Andy Garcia played an Italian got a father three so He's great.

I like that movie didn't happen. My next pick isn't necessarily award-winning, but it is family friendly Let's do this angels in the outfield Ah original yes, yes, because you know that they did a remake with the any clever I didn't know there was an original before that sir. Mm-hmm.

When did they do that long long before? Okay, I want to say the original's black and white. Oh, wait.

I didn't know about that But I still like the remake. I was at the right age for it Hey, I Joseph Gordon Levitt's first big one. I remember seeing I may be tapped out.

Okay, because you can do stuff like the Lou Gehrig story, but no, no, no, no Or you know, well in in the same vein that's family friendly rookie of the year I mean dig it did not dig it. Yeah, none of us are gonna none of us are gonna mention the Freddie Prince Jr Summer catch. I mean, come on.

You mean fever pitch. No, no Fever pitch was Jimmy Fallon and Through Barry. I combine all those.

I'm not a big fan But somehow catch this the some other ones that I really enjoyed were like eight men out and Cobb They're not as good as my men out also remake But it's I know you're talking to the black socks here. Don't a correct. Okay.

Yeah, that's not remake Yes, not your story. Yeah, that was a great movie. Not as feel good, but it was it was very very big in its time Mm-hmm, but one of the other ones that Was one of the early award-winning HBO movies When it actually started getting nominated for stuff 61.

Yes, very much enjoy the crystal one. Yes, it was With the 42 you 42 is a great movie. I actually didn't see that until Couple months ago for the first time.

I was very impressed with Chadwick Boseman in that money ball Money balls a good one. I liked money ball. I didn't love money ball I wanted to look at ruin for me for money ball is if you've seen the guy that that's based on yeah Brad Pitt did that do to solid Yeah, that's all I'm saying And in Porsche bureau getting the largest of Why am I drawing a blank on the kid from super bad's name?

Johnny Hill. Yeah him The Johnny Hill after he lost all the weight and then he gained it all back. Yeah I mean, but the problem with that one was it's a very good movie It covers a lot of important stuff also with prep prep prep But you're talking about a movie about statistics.

I mean, and stuff that people still didn't understand despite the book But it's a great movie. There's a reason it was nominated and a trouble with the curve Plenty's to it. Not gonna lie.

I never saw it. I think I saw it once. I didn't yeah, and oh, what was her name?

Um Amy Adams was in it. Oh, Amy Adams plays the daughter. She's And Timberlake and Timberlake is in it right Just Timberlake was one of the great lines of dialogue in the film and recent years and the social network When he was because you remember he played the guy to found the Napster.

Yeah, and they were talking about Are you gonna go with the you know what's cool line? No, no They were basically were dogging him about his business model and he looked at him. He said hey You want to go and have sees on a blockbuster franchise?

That is a great line But but there's a lot there's a lot of great baseball movies out there I would say of the four major sports. I think baseball translates to film the best Yeah, there's another good one if you want to go historical that I really enjoyed from HBO called solo the game Yes That was the one that followed the transition from the Negro League baseball to Jackie Robinson getting called up, but it follows Delroy Lindo as satchel page and Josh Gibson and there's a lot that they touched on in that that most people didn't know about with the mental illness that was Really really good and when you talk about Jackie Robinson we mentioned 42 the thing about 42 42 actually ruined another film for me did it If I had not seen 42 before I saw it get on up Ah Because bozeman to me Mm-hmm Once I had seen 42 I was locked in with Jackie Robinson. I couldn't see him as James Brown I had that same problem because of 42 because he was so amazing in an ad now it's to chala All right.

Yeah, well, and there's another one behind 42 if you remember Alan Tudick had a lot of problems Shooting his scenes. Yes, he had a lot of problems and anybody that's met like Alan's like a kid in Detroit too. Yeah But if if if you've seen anything from Alan Tudick he is an absolute sweetheart and that was not an easy role for him Uh Think leaner to Caprio talking with Samuel Jackson tearing a certain Django movie.

Yeah. Well, that's like we were talking about last time out with uh Detroit The kid that was in that mm-hmm or basically after every scene He would have everybody just do a big group hug like yeah because it broke him. Yeah And I was gonna say you can enjoy your baseball movies.

I like my hockey movies But there's stuff but there's not as many. Yeah, that's the problem and but no the hockey movies. I'm gonna go with her Hockey movies are great.

I have I don't know if I've seen a bad one sudden death greatness. Oh You leave John Klopp and you leave them out of this John Klopp and you leave the igloo out of this Well, you know that the opening for Highlander takes place at a resting match right with the freebirds originally was supposed to be hockey I did not know that part but the rangers said We don't want hockey being portrayed as a violent sport That's true story. Thanks Michael PSAs.

It was either it was one of the New York teams Yeah, yeah, but that's great Oh So many great ones, but I know it's I forget who I was talking to about this But along with the hockey movies was slap shot and mystery Alaska is a big one. The mystery Alaska With Mike Myers playing Don Cherry but not playing Don Cherry And I think I was the right age for all the um the mighty ducks film mighty ducks. Yes We had the the first one was at my theater, but then you also had and I don't know that you can really call it a hockey film Because it turns into an ice skating film.

Oh, cutting it. Yeah. Yeah.
