So points are gonna be exactly what they were last week I didn't know if you wanted to go into how much you love that trophy for this race Oh, Dover's one of my favorite trophies in the entire NASCAR circuit I'm not I'm not big on Texas because it's a boot. Yeah Everything's everything's kind of a boot certain things about living in this state I'm sick of everything's bigger in Texas That's only the obesity. I'm sick of boot references also there But then the people that don't live here don't know that they also don't realize that not all of it is cattle Yeah, I can remember traveling and my initials are JR and I'm JR from Dallas And they'd ask if I had a horse to get me to school and did I have my own oil well and I'm Rob Irvin that moved here and lived in Irving Yeah, so at that during the time Michael Irvin played for the cowboys.
Yeah, all spelled differently all three of them I got nothing. I actually keep in touch. So there's that all right.
Let's get into some TV talk shall we? Congratulations to Santa Stark Sophie Turner and the Joe Jonas got married in Vegas this week. Oh, was that confirmed that was confirmed Okay, I know it was a room Elvis was there in the whole nine So Mazel tob to those kids one of the L.I.
Hey, not the flying L.V. Yeah, do you remember that from honeymoon in Vegas? Yes, do you remember who the youngest L.V.
I was? God, I should know this General, do you know this? Mm-hmm.
It's dead air go he has 24 karat magic That was Bruno Mars oh my if you go back and watch honey moon in Vegas a little itty bitty Elvis impersonators that is a young girl Bruno Mars girl that is Bruno Mars Kids been doing it long time. Yeah great story that kid has there a little few things that people they knew about him I go really yeah So we mentioned this on the other show hopefully you got to listen to our special preview of the cheap pop cast if you subscribe to this show on your favorite podcast app Had a lot of fun as we always do on that show Absolutely, but let's talk about Sinclair broadcasting for a minute a couple of weeks ago the Fox Disney merger is complete very mixed feelings in the entertainment community about this I Can't change it It is what it is However Part of that deal was everything not FS1. Yes But the FCC said Fox Disney Marvel ESPN 80s films You can't keep the regional sports networks because that establishes a monopoly Which it could be argued you still have things like Nesson and Masson and things like that but whatever does don't feed into Fox Sports not that I'm aware of I like MSG network.
I don't believe does see I don't think MSG does but I think Nesson is actually does feed in do they I'm fair enough. I know sunshine network turned into Fox Sports floor right But they rebranded too. Yes, that's why that's why I'm not worried.
I'm a concern. I'm a so sure on the other two Well, but they never rebranded just as you're looking at two stations out of right dozens So they have agreed in theory to sell 21 of those networks For 10.6 billion dollars to sinclair broadcasting now you may not know who sinclair broadcasting is But if you're a long time fan of this show you've heard us talk about them And it really pertains to the other show because sinclair broadcasting is the company that owns a ring of honor Yes, so hopefully now ring of honor can reestablish itself on a cable home Something that's a little bit more prevalent a little bit more accessible I mean because remember back in the day they were on access TV when that was called HD net. Yep That was how I that's how I got into ROH So we'll have to see how that works out as time goes on guys a couple of Season announcements as it pertains to Fox The final season of Legion will begin on June 24th I did not watch any of season three and neither did I and Snowfall is gonna start back up July 10th.
I have heard wonderful things about this show I've heard really great things about it. I just never caught it. Never watched it ABC has renewed blackish for season six But also ordered a spin-off to series.
Oh really that's going to focus on Tracy Ellis Ross's character Growing up in a mixed race family in the 80s interesting So that's gonna happen It'd be like a guy or the question is how close are they gonna try and play it on like a Cosby style show or the Goldbergs for that matter On that first one On the second one. Yeah Because it's a very popular area because the first one was not an ABC show if you remember correctly CBS NBC Sorry, not old enough CBS all access We're news the twilight zone for season two Because it started airing yet. Oh, yeah, they've they've they're at least one episode and it's it's not So there's like language and adult and I was like whoa this is it's CBS all access so they can do that Right, but I thought they were also I thought they were also airing episodes on the network itself No, okay, so it's just the all access.
Okay, that's why I missed it then because I don't do the all access We do, but I won't watch it on general principle. I did see one episode because it was I can't ever say his last of the from the big sick come all Kumail Nanjani. Yes.
Thank you. I did watch his episode. You see his tweet that Batista replied to you the other day About his personal trainer God, I love Dave Batista Hulu has renewed pen 15 and Rami for season two Pen 15 is a play on characters if you make it one word.
Oh, I figured it out And it's about a group of teenagers. Of course and Rami apparently is a big hit that I don't know about So showtime has renewed black Monday for season two so congratulations to Paul Sheer and those guys don't cheat I'm that she'll just she'll own a piece of showtime He's like every other one. Yeah, YouTube has renewed Cobra Kai for season three I got to watch season two.
I got to watch season one. Yeah, I heard wonderful fans And and the guys were here in town at fan days this past weekend. I'm fighting the show Rachel Wimbledon We got her picture with all three of them.
So was it Ralph Billy and Martin. Yep, okay Did I see did I realize the other day we were we were having a discussion last week of me watching back to school And I've forgotten to mention who one of the antagonists in that film was the one I pointed out to you Geppka that means yeah, Geppka Zeppka Geppka. Oh, that's a girl with high school and Geppka shout out to you and Geppka But yeah, that that he was one of the I'm like and he talked about how He they had originally written the character to be funnier and they've re-edited it because he was getting too funny It was too likeable.
Yeah, yeah Let's see Vincent Kassel the great Vincent Kassel is gonna join Westwood Westworld for season three I have a terrible terrible uninformed question. What his name was castle. I may have said it wrong But it's two S's and two else and that's what I'm going with Okay, but we are talking about the same one that was in the Oceans movies correct.
Yeah, sure. Okay. I just need Westworld Actually, no, I need Westworld to wait until I watch the deadwood movie Okay, cuz I've got I'm gonna I'm gonna re-watch all of deadwood before I watch the movie because that show is so amazing I may need to jump in on that.
I've never seen a moment but real right. They we talked about that Sean's a huge fan and she almost broke up with me when she heard that deadwood is one of those shows that If you don't like it, you're a communist because it's amazing Well, it's got a lot of great people in it now if if language offence you don't come within 10 miles of that show if you've met my family You know, it's just a second nature So we talked a little bit last week about the Disney Hulu conundrum. Yes We are now getting evidence that that is very much alive and we'll stay that way Oh really because they have announced From what I know of the first new series that will be on Disney Hulu It is ghostwriter Oh really and it will star one friend of the show yes Gabriel Luna Diego Why don't you think Gabriel Luna?
I don't know, but it's Diego Luna. Yeah, you know, are you sure? Because I got to be real okay, do you go on front of the show?
I it is the same that is from Rogue One correct who was front of the show very excited about that I don't know Elizabeth Banks is going to be hosting pressure luck for ABC One of my favorite game shows of all time So I got Joel McCale doing and yeah, completely wrecked the show But not but then they changed it to whammy for game show network and they changed the computer program Is that is that on his on on his IMDB page? Oh, that's a good question Because I may be right for upcoming projects correct narcos mexico No, it's narcos maco Yeah, yeah, yeah You may want to look up Gabriel Luna just to be safe. I will look up that okay And Interesting news this week it keeps bouncing around Ron Howard is in talks for a willow series for disney plus But where are we going with it?
Wherever run Howard wants to go He's Ron Howard Only one tv on DVD and blu-ray this week WWE releasing their on-ray the giant documentary this week That you can also get on the network. Okay, so it is not the Luna that you thought it wasn't Gabriel It is Gabriel Luna, but that's a different than the friend of the show Diego Luna I'm just gonna say you're gonna be with the friend of the show just because yeah, well, he likes the show I just want to I'm gonna speak down to you no more anybody little Anybody that likes us. Yeah, but yes, it is Gabriel Luna who will be playing Slash goes brighter the only good part about agents of shield Was that story line or something?
But it's interesting because he's in the the reason we had that name recently was because he's in the new Terminator as well. Ah very much so okay. Let's get to POI shall we 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 want to talk about a concept It's an interesting concept And it's one that I don't know gets talked enough about I I'm typing I'll go call on Computers ring a little slow It's the concept of tipping in advance Oh Interesting.
So are you talking about forced tip in advance or deciding to on like a delivery that you're charging? No, that could be part of it, but there is a It's happens in a couple of instances Where I've been where one of them is a local buffet chain Where I go up and I put my order in and it asks me do you want a tip? Sure, let's tip there And then they give me the cash out of a till and then I'm supposed to leave that on the table But it also happens in certain places That I don't know It's a weird concept to me because to me a tip or a gratuity Is should be based on the service I get and I worked in the in the restaurant industry for many many many many years And I feel like tipping in advance It's kind of cheating Because I'm tipping in anticipation of a level of service See, but I think that part of what you have and correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you referring to Luby's? No, okay, Luby's does the same thing, but the way they do it is you essentially pay for them to give you cash out of the till That's what this place does, but you're not required to leave that amount. Yeah, but there's a there's a implied guilt involved with that If you have a soul, fortunately, I don't have that issue and and and some of the things like the insta cart for the groceries You can change now you can go back after the fact Uber insta cart.
It says do you want to tip in advance But you can also change it after the fact So on those I let it put it standard thing in and then I'll adjust accordingly See, I still wouldn't say no, I don't want to tip advance. I'm gonna tip afterwards Well, you have to do a minimum tipping at least on the insta cart. You have to do a minimum Door dash has the same kind of thing where they're like hey, how much of a tip do you want to ask?
It's like um, maybe zero and get your But see every time I've done Uber Uber eats it asks me after the fact Well, no, I'm not saying just with those I'm saying on the insta cart they require because that's the money They go straight to the driver and that's how they can pay them the two whatever per hour versus full is they can say well They've gotten a tip on every single one That's shady it is shady because if you're gonna tip me in advance That's Outside of like you said having a soul What motivation do I have as a server to give you good service? Well, that's why I'm saying in that aspect is if it really bothers you that you got money out of the till to give to them And you get bad service. Don't give them the money But again, I can't in good conscience do that.
That's my problem Like I've already got this cash Here see and I feel like for me it balances out because when it comes to gratuity You're already starting with a clean slate and a full 20% minimum Unless you irritate me or you do a poor job Then I drop it down to maybe at most 15% But I've also been known to go up if there's good service Just because I get money out of the till means no bearing to me on how your service is I'm still gonna tip you because I know you need it But the amount I'm going with depends on you. I would rather do it. I would rather do it when I pay the bill at the end Oh, I a hundred percent agree now, but I'm not gonna take you out of buffet You can't do that.
It's a little strange But also at a buffet You could say hey Just tip your server Or you could say We've run your card Here's your receipt Leave this slip on the table with your tip Because they got your money either way Because there's no way you could make somebody pay at the end You have so many walk tabs that would be insane. I get why they do that But it used to be with the cafeterias that you would pay at the end difference is in a cafeteria and a buffet The cafeteria you're getting enough for that one trip Where has with a buffet you don't have a register at the end of every section of the buffet Right, but what I'm saying it well, but the Furs we used to I think it was furs or lubis or whatever It was you went through the line you got your food they gave you The slip for what you got which this would all be based off the buffet price and to get to the exit you had to go past a cash year So they could set it up to where you pay at the end. You know, there's it there is it about Vegas There is but there isn't a big There is a buffet that I go to locally that does that Yes, I will admit that where you pay at the end of the meal.
I mean it can be set that way but Only one time did I ever not actually tip at a restaurant and the manager backed me on it Um the girl basically was rude dismissive and completely ignored us Uh It was horrible and they you know backed us not tipping or but other than that I will always tip a minimum 15% Even on bad service. Yeah, if I have bad service. I'm gonna calculate 15% and I'll also base is it bad service because of the person themselves Or was the bad service because the kitchen was backed up and in that case That's not getting taken out of the service pocket because it's not their fault Hey, I mean if the food slow I'm gonna base that on how much did the the server keep me in the loop Yeah, and if the foods messed up It's does the waiter recognize it when they serve it to me Or did they not pay attention when I was placing my order?
Yeah, but if it's a food runner though It's different yeah food runners totally different But I'm just saying if my server comes up is like wait a minute. That's not what you ordered Totally not their fault But if it's served to me by the waiter and they don't even realize that you know I said no bun on my burger. I guess that's a simple thing But I said I wanted the fish and they brought me chicken and the server didn't catch that then that's the server not paying attention I'm also intrigued with the concept And I've heard a lot of people is like these these servers that just won't write down the order.
Yeah, it's like oh, I got it And I'm like I don't know if you do Prove me wrong, but it's It's such a weird bit. I just I don't I'm not a fan Let me let me tip after the meal absolutely just say him Well, but the thing is is it boils down to it is gratuity What how grateful are you for the service? Well, and is there a reason you can't make sure you have cash on you when you go eat there So you don't have to have them take it out and you can base the gratuity based on the service you got you want the real reason for that Go for it 99 times out of 100 when I go somewhere to eat.
I don't know where I'm going That's until I'm in the car on the way See, and that's why I appreciate it with loobies. I don't have the effort with that. They're like hey, do you want cash to tip your server?
I absolutely do can you please make sure to give it to me in singles because you're gonna be earning it, but You're starting at a good clip It's kind of weird bit don't say all right. Let us move in move in move Move on and talk a little page relief baseball and I want to talk about what could be one of my new mate favorite minor league teams Okay Because it's that that means two things situation. Oh boy.
The Seattle Mariners Have a minor league team And they are located in Colorado And they are called the Rocky Mountain vibes I'm gonna pull up this this is so unstable. I want you just to see this is the mascot for this I don't know what's going on here. Why always does this because you have to agree to sell your soul to fuck but I do that every time Alex I'm gonna show you this so you can see it.
Oh shoot. There goes my phone This is their their logo and mascot. General.
You're gonna have to come around look at this um it is Basically a walking smore on fire on fire It doesn't seem high at all Not I'm not one for rolling the newbies, but that's funny. That's what funny is funny. I don't care who you are Yeah, I want a Rocky Mountain vibes hat.
I just do maybe it's your maybe it's Jersey. I would wear it. We'll have to look into that But that that's one of those we're gonna be calling out into the universe for a little bit All right, let's talk some standings in the AL East oh boy The Baltimore Orioles 10 games below 500 and you're nine and a half out of first place They are six games back on Toronto who got warped on by the Rangers today by the way 10 to two Toronto is a game and a half back on the Red Sox Red Sox two and a half back on the Yankees Yankees two and a half back on Tampa Bay In the AL Central the royals are nine games below five hundred and ten back They're three and a half back on the White Sox White Sox are a game and a half back on Detroit Detroit two and a half back on Cleveland Cleveland two and a half back On me now In the AL West The Oakland A's are six games.

Oh, okay. That's a different kind of Philly though Thank you very much Yeah, but you see the Phillies are not in the derby But a Philly is still a horse A female horse. Yes I hate you all so much.
Let's get in the music talk ruined your joke with facts So the Billboard Music Awards was a thing it was allegedly when last week. Oh And it had an all-time low for the 18 to 49 demographic yikes And we're surprised by this why First of all, I didn't even know it was a thing till the next day Yeah, is that because I don't watch commercials or Because I don't know when you're called the billboard music awards shouldn't you have? I don't know billboards or a billboard I don't know But isn't billboard almost entirely based on just how long people have been at what level on the charts at this point This are even a voting or it's just like hey stupid people listen to this for 30 weeks straight Give him an award I heard Kelly Clarkson had a really good performance though she usually does though and right in the middle of one of I think she was hosting or something and right in the middle of one of her bits like A piece of the pink hair of one of the kids from BTS hit the camera and my upper deck went insane I don't get it.
I don't understand it god bless them because they're successful, but I don't get it I'm still not even sure what it is The whole kpop thing oh no, I know I get kpop, but I'm what I'm saying is as I've never heard a moment of any music from them I only know that I have seen I Good looking teenage kids appear on screen people screaming and I don't understand this must be what the old people felt like when the Beatles came on Oh, no wait the Beatles were good. Yeah, the Beatles were good I love hearing McCartney tell stories about when they would do like when they did the chase stadium show Oh, yeah, because back then they didn't have audio monitors Oh, really, there was no such thing Huh, so he goes we went out there and we hoped we were playing in tune Because we couldn't hear anything. Wow.
Yeah It's kind of cool to think though This is like it doesn't matter where to they're going. It's wild man. You had to actually have talent back then No, I mean, there's a lot of the kids days got talent.
It's just different There's a good percentage that do but there's a good percentage that are Auto-tune Yeah, I was gonna say technologically enhanced and I kept this in there because I read this headline completely wrong oh So I'm going through my newsfeed And I see Zach Brown signs to do to be with the Eagles for a year and I'm like what Zach Brown's gonna tour with the Eagles This is amazing. They've already got Vince Gill They got Glenn Freisky and then I found out it was actually an NFL headline Oh Old man rock strikes again I was so excited and then moments later so let down Oh, I love that we don't take ourselves so seriously that we cannot share our honest moments It was the highest of highs yet the lowest of lows all in the same moment I need I need Zach Brown the football player photoshopped into a picture of the Eagles band Because I enjoy Zach Brown bands work I do and you know last year they toured with Buffett for a time Yeah, and I was thinking this would be amazing because they're only doing one North American stop and it's in Vegas They they spelled the name differently though, don't they isn't Zach Brown band with just the sea Correct and Zach Brown with the football players. I didn't see eight.
I saw what I wanted to see I'm almost sad that Don's not here to relish in it Because you know he would take great joy in this Oh my Zach Brown signs to play with the Eagles. Yeah I'm like this would be an amazing show Like this would be a show that I would consider Oh, thank you for that rub. I mean, it's totally organic for me That's like two people I've gotten wrong completely wrong But yeah, and I kept it in there because I'm like we have to talk about that because I'm not afraid to do you start playing chicken pride in your head You got to so excited.
Well, you'll see here's what I love about Zach Brown Number one, I got to clarify the band band guy. I don't know the the player. Okay.
He played for Washington. Don't care First of all this guy gets it Like last year he opened a summer camp for kids with disabilities And I believe one and he also opened a camp for autistic kids as well This is a guy that gets charity number one. Number two.
This is a guy that gets VIP Because if you buy a VIP ticket to a Zach Brown show It comes with a full catered barbecue meal by a chef. He brings on tour with him who has his own barbecue trailer I'm sorry if anybody heard that that was my stomach This guy gets it.

Uh, well, you know, I always try to put one in here just because I like the name of the band Yeah, albums called opaque couch from meatbeat manifesto I remembered that band That that's it could be one of the most unstable band names I've ever heard, but it's hilarious and Brando out and they explain some to you people.
There are certain bands. Uh-huh. That can stand the test of time Couple of weeks ago, friend of the show Heather Fogelman.
Who am I? Who am I a door? She's one of my favorite people on God's green earth She wouldn't saw this band live She has been a fan of this band since we were kids Hmm She said they're still getting it done live Okay, she said the new stuff off the new album is incredible.

Awesome So so the black Moods are opening for white snake. Yes, and coverdale still gets it done That dude is amazing And and after your recommendation last week I did check out vampire weekend And I did download an album and I have been enjoying it there.
They're one of those bands that I wouldn't go out of my way, but they're good to listen to they've got a nice sound. Mm-hmm. They're different I and they're not different in that you look at me and do different like they're just different.
Oh, they've got a nice spin All right, let's get into the Stanley Cup playoffs got to watch a little hacky today With Barry Melrose's little brother in front of us Yeah, the mullet was a player today That really was kind of a weak mullet, but there was definitely mullet action I'm in the wrong place. Well done. That's all right And so I'm so wanting football I went to the NFL page and at the NHL page well now you're just mixing up your Zach Browns.
Yes So Dallas loses today tie we are going to game seven in that series with St. Louis and then San Jose up three two over Colorado and the other and the eastern conference Boston is up three two on the blue jackets And Carolina has eliminated the islanders You know what ever since Carolina came up with those victory celebrations, which Don Cherry absolutely hates with Justifiably from Don Terri's point of view But since they started your wardrobe, but you've got a problem with celebrations Well to him it's Thursday That's true But at the same time if you haven't seen any of these go out of your way to catch some video about Carolina Hurricanes win celebrations That they do after the game my personal favorite so far was the duck hunt Yes, and I just love that like everybody stays. Oh, yeah, everybody knows.
That's like let's do this But you know I want to give some credit where it's due you know who who started to inspire this Vegas with their show around the game. Oh, yeah different acts people are starting to realize they're coming for entertainment not just the game And then let's go. Let's go get ourselves to the NBA garbage.

Yes, Damon Lillard quality human being absolutely quality human being go blazers Uh, they are up to one on Denver right now and Houston Houston Houston is down to one to golden state millawake up to one on Boston Toronto and Philly tied in that series at two Hmm, let's go Raptors I'm not a because of I'm not a big fan of Joel and B 30 player interesting.

Yes, okay When you when you do the things that that guy does Own it Own it don't be like oh, I didn't realize I was hitting a guy in the mouth with my elbow you own it And when somebody punches you in the face for it That's part of the deal too.
Yeah, don't do the crime if you can't do the time when they send one of yours at a hospital You send one of those to the morgue that's the Chicago way Hey Love that line All right, let's let's bring it down for a minute Because we're getting into movie talk And I'm gonna need a minute So I'm coming home from work on Thursday As I tend to do And I'm sitting in Dallas traffic And I get a text from Russ Russ is Also, I know he's not waiting to hear tonight's show. He's actually at the Ranger game for king and country doing the concert after the show I'm very jealous of that But he sent me a text and it It had me thinking for a minute because if you remember and this is you know chokes aside The previous week he had sent me a text saying Kevin McCale was hosting card sharks When he met Joel McCale So he sent me this text and I was just like What So I am not afraid to admit that I was stuck in traffic so I wasn't driving anywhere But I looked this thing up And it still didn't make any sense It was the passing of Peter make you And When I first saw it I went to Wikipedia And it said it happened two days earlier And I didn't understand So I called Dave the great Dobby And I said dude I need you to look this out Because I'm sitting in traffic and I'm kind of freaking out right now And he did And you know my policy I need three credible sources to report something before I'm willing to believe it Because that's happened on this show Where people have reported something and I said I might be going to talk about that Unless I have three credible sources It happened with Whitney Houston It happened with kid credit Both of those happened while we were on air when we were on Saturday nights So Dave's like no dude this is a thing And I spent the whole I I called friend of the show the Donna because I wanted to check on her because I've known Peter and Angie since 2001 Back in those days Commentable conventions aren't what they are now Back in those days as a part of DFW fan force we always had a table Always I mean I've told the story on this show About Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica Coming up to our table And Wanting to play his Battlestar Galactica the search for Starbuck trailer on our system because I would bring my DJ system and we would play trailers and stuff And how he actually talked to Chad's wife at the time on the phone because she was such a huge fan of his and She was sick that day You know and those days There was a time when David Prouse just came and sat with us Because we were the fan organization in DFW um One day Peter's wife Angie Came up to our table because again We were really the only Star Wars fan organization that was at these things And she said to us Does anybody in your organization know how to do websites And My dear friend my brother A guy that he was the second friend I ever made when I moved to Texas Rick Fetrell I knew he did websites and he just happened to be there that day hanging out So I said I know a guy And so I introduced Angie To Ricky And A relationship was born that day Not long after that uh We were asked to Come out to their home Because they lived on the other side of Fort Worth they still do So that we could get um Content for what would become peter mayhew.com And sitting there one of my favorite stories to talk about when we talk about this was Chad was there And You may have seen there's a picture of Peter if that's a studio portrait where he's wearing a t-shirt that the front of it is Chewbacca's face and it wraps all the way around It kind of looks tied eye, but it's Chewie's fur And Chad saw that picture and he was like that shirt is amazing So we're talking and Peter showing us his MTV movie award and telling us the story behind it Which is that was one thing about Peter is man that guy could tell a story man that guy could tell a story And Angie kind of disappeared As Angie tends to do because she understands that you know people are there to see Peter But Angie loves to be with him and Angie is an amazing human being and I adore her And she just kind of disappeared And about 10 minutes later she came back with that shirt and she gave it to Chad She's like we have like six of these And I have no doubt in my mind that Chad still has that shirt He was scheduled For fanics of this weekend Which I think was part of the shock to me Because He was gonna be there and all of the people that are here in Dallas Fort Worth That get to see him that's that's their time to get to see Peter and say hello and And hug Angie and the kids come in and So to lose him like that It's I don't want to say I'm still dealing with it But there this is personal to me You know the last time I got to see them was at the Voldemort of shows a couple years ago And you know, I didn't get to see them for a very very long time because Peter travels a lot Or I was at a town the weekend Peter was doing a show You know Ricky very close with them traveled with them for a time But when I saw Angie She hugged me and she's like we took like we talk every day Because that's who she is and that's who Peter was And to use his name in the past tense is hard for me Um, but to see The tributes Two full pages At his table of people that came by to sign it and friends of the show that were asked to Be the presence at the table to to to guide people through that and whomever Whomever took that full sized R2 And put that in front of the table Because if you don't know Kenny Baker was his best friend And when Kenny passed that was very tough for him And I know that Peters had He's had health issues for years and when you're seven four A body is not meant to be seven four and I've always thought it was hilarious that before before Lucas found him he was a dental assistant Like the visual I can't visualize that you know what I mean And to hear Peter tell those stories and tell stories about people like Alec Guinness and as closest he was to carry because Care he was carries refuge a lot especially filming those the first four five and six And To lose her and then to lose him There's been so many amazing tributes out there and You know, I said earlier in the week about the picture that keeps showing up of Me at their home looking like I had just gotten home from auditioning for a Brooks and Dunn tribute band And then to see One of the guys from big and rich doing the national anthem today. Oh my god kind of look like that too He was an amazing human He always made time and I think that's why there's so many tributes out there to him And and I know that I'm just I'm one of bazillions of people That knew him and loved him on a level that a lot of celebrities don't get but it was because Peter Put himself out there.
He wasn't afraid of the fans. You know seeing Ricky's kids Posting pictures It just hurts my heart Because those yeah one of my favorite stories is Dalton Ricky's son Who's been in children's for like a month now Dalton's always had health issues and You know, he's one of my favorite boys When episode seven came out Peter had sent some toys to him And one of them was a porg a stuffed porg and at the time Dalton was wearing a breathing mask. We call it his scuba Steve mask And he was talking but nobody could understand him and A lot of times we can understand what Dalton was saying But this day they couldn't and they took the mask off and they were saying what and he pointed at the porg and he yelled Uncle Peter eats those things So And seeing Ricky post like I don't know how I'm gonna tell him this because I need to tell him before the TV does And seeing Sam post pictures with him and Megan posting pictures with him and then other pictures of the night The DFW fan force had dinner with him at an outback steakhouse And seeing my niece when she got she must have been 4 or 5 On my shoulders With Peter She's on my shoulders Peter is behind her and still taller than both of us combined You know and Dalton before when he when he could still walk and and friend of the show Lonnie hearts holding him and I just I can't process this Because my heart hurts and I know that there's people in this world who's hearts hurt more than mine And I can't imagine what those people were going through it The community lost a friend the world lost the quality human But he's taking care of the princess And that's what we that's what he's always done and We would be remiss if we didn't talk about this um There's not enough words in the world.
There's not enough heart emojis in the world. There's not enough There's not enough in the world to talk about what this man meant just so many people And to be able to pay tribute to him on the weekend of intergalactic star wars day It just makes it I don't want to say it makes it easier But I think it brings that community together even more and I just don't know what else to say that would say what I want to say except how much we're going to miss him You know just knowing he was in the world made the world a better place and There will always be times that I'll think of some of the stories or some of the conversations we've had with him And I'll just laugh hysterically because like I said man that dude could tell a story And For those of you that never got the chance to experience Peter may you I'm sad for you because He is one of the good ones He's one of the ones that At the Voldemort of shows he was one of the true just He he did what he needed to do and he let you know he wasn't afraid to let you know what he needed and either was Angie You know he almost ran me down in his skirt And he knew it was me it was Peter you know, so We want to send our deepest to the family the friends the fans and every combination therein because There were definitely overlap in all three of those there's a venn diagram that goes through all three of those things We love you we miss Peter and We know he's he's not hurting anymore And we know he's looking down upon us and he's going hey, it's okay You We try to move on because it is movie talk time So let's get into it because that's what he would want us to do Rob tell me about box office numbers.

I Will say this came you'll buy boys the men told him saying in the very beginning they don't take long In the silver medal the intruder don saw this eleven million dollars. This is an eight million dollar budget How much of it went to Dennis quid's pot about nine Oh, sorry, it was eight million dollars and winning the week And if you bet against this in your fantasy movie league, what do you think in Avengers endgame.

No, cuz I'm avoiding anything and everything to do with it still. Oh, it's not a spoiler No, I know, but I don't want to take a guess at how much it made in its second weekend Mind you second weekend week week one was three hundred and forty five million dollars domestic Yeah, way more than I will ever see in my lifetime times bajillion. Okay.
Would you want to take a guess of what it did this weekend? I have no clue losing 59.2% of its screens this week averaged 31.2000 dollars per screen, which is a third of what it did before 145.8 million dollars this week bringing its domestic total to six hundred and twenty million dollars in two weeks on a 356 million dollar budget now when you put that with domestic by the way foreign it's already made 1.6 billion So we have now crossed the two billion dollar mark. We are only About a half million away from thunder smurfs Well, did you see the uh me my sent you yes, I love that I would like to say suck it thunder smurfs because we're coming for you We should probably set something up to have a uh show visit so that the Rome can get to see it sooner Like you need to leave after the show and go see this movie like seriously Yeah, like I have three hours of time anywhere You will find it Because I'm sick of not being able to talk about this movie because I've said it before and I've said it again I don't know how anybody wrote or recorded a review for this film.
I'm glad. I did not go to the screening Because you cannot Summarize the plot of this film without spoilers. It's not possible every review should basically start if everything was written as if it was spoken It would all start with well that um Well I go see this And that's your entire review I mean I am db does a good a good job But is it the synopsis or a full review the synopsis okay now The synopsis is no don't go anywhere near it because it says the synopsis may give a way important plot points You think But this movie is insane Insanely good I cannot say enough good things about this film.
I honestly thought you were overselling it to me at first You did that When you were saying it was up there with the dark night. Yep as far as superhero movies one in one night I still have my personal bias for the dark night But depending on when the timing is a hot brother pick in game at times And we all said another loss in the movie industry this week John singleton did pass away this week at the age of 51 Ground breaking Director writer producer Will be sorely missed I love that he did things on his own terms. Yes You know a lot of people don't know that boys in the hood was his USC film school project I didn't know it was the big screen debuts of ice cube and Regina King.

It's for 11 to 14 year old girls related to people who work for american airlines so they came in from all over And what the point of this is is it's innovation solutions to humanitarian Challenges so they have to come up with a concept um Through learning team building and processes of listening and sharing and how to communicate with each other And then the next day they build an app or a product or a build a business Some of the girls were doing some financial things because not everyone has education in finance and Some of the girls were doing you know money management which finance funding management. They're pretty similar My company recently did this internally Yes And so they have the adult one going on in the big room that they have 24 hours to come up with a company And then create and code and everything and part of it is the coding It's also to get girls interested in these stem type fields of interest My niece was there and she was on team fox smart And they decided to help with animal adoptions So they came up with an app that you could say I want a big dog or a small dog or a cat or a snake And I want it within this many miles of where I am and it would give you profiles Like a dating app would give you a profile of this is the temperament and good with kids or no kids good with older Well trained needs training and they actually ended up winning Oh wow very nice Team did win I'm extremely proud of everything she did with this But it's so neat because it's girls from all over And to have these high level Staff at american encouraging these girls like this is stuff you all can do You can learn this and whether you need it for you decide to go into stem or you go and do another field It's still good to know this coding Because it could help you further your job no matter what you do So it was just really nice to see and The support and the encouragement and the female empowerment for these young ladies To believe in themselves that they can accomplish things. It was just It was inspirational to be a part of Cool Congratulations to them nice job so good job Emma All right anything else so we get to the list Very basic list this week It is the top 10 things I need to do more I've done a lot of internalizing This year I know it's only May but it's also May And some of this stuff I've already got wheels and motion on but it's just stuff that I need to do more Number 10 I need to read more It's very difficult To find time to read I'm not a big fan of books on tape Because I listen to enough podcasts.
I need I need to budget time for music in my life I can't do podcasts all the time But I'd like to read more but I've also got to find books I'm interested in reading You know because I'm the kind of person that I'll read like 50 pages and then put it down for three months and then read like 200 pages But I need to read more Number 9 I need to write more I have lost in myself Creative writing was always something that I was really good at when I was a kid and I need to sharpen those skills again You know, I do I do a little bit of writing here and their social media helps me with that but There's some things I want to do and in order for me to do those things I have to get those creative muscles working again You know we're 58 days from summer band 46 Got some things in brain and I'm working on Some things some projects from the past that I want to redo and revisit So I want to start writing more because I really like writing I really really do I need to write in cursive more I found that recently holy cow I just I decided recently I was going to write some stuff in cursive it took me forever Because if it's not my signature, I don't write in cursive anymore This is not teachers are the kids Number 8 I need to really vacation Eight and seven kind of go together Staycations are great But the problem with the staycation Is I end up filling that time with stuff that I think I need to be doing Now I took a vacation a little over a month ago And I made it a point during that week I wouldn't hit golf balls a couple of times because I forced myself on my I need to grant it I'm going to sleep till I get up every day because that's part of the deal but I need to do things Because catching up on my shows is not as important as it used to be except for Game of Thrones um But I need to really vacation Not necessarily do touristy things But I need to do Vacationy things Even if it's like one night to go do something Well, even if it's sitting in a lounge chair listening to water hit the band and read about this and you can multitask it then No such thing is multitasking never realize that Well, no, I'm at the reading you can really only do one thing I'm at the reading and the relaxing with the water of the vacationing so it's the Vacationing and reading so that it which ties into number seven, which is I need to travel more I love traveling It's one thing It's one thing that I miss about my the position I used to have before I have the position I have now I did I didn't travel a ton But I did enough You know, I like going to new places especially if I go to places where I know people and I get to visit them and their natural habitat Like I love that because they get to show me cool stuff It sounds like you know visiting friends that live in the zoo some of them do I did live in Florida.

I have people down there You know, I just I need to get out and do more things from a travel standpoint like Phil and I have already agreed our 30 year high school reunions in two years We're gonna road trip it And because I road trip the 25 by myself And I loved it Now granted did I drive a little bit faster trying to get through Tallahassee? Yes, yes, I did But Especially because when I went down there I went through the panhandle and then down the east coast and when I came home I went across alligator alley and came up the west coast Oh, so you headed across to 95 or the turn?
Yep, and then came back 75 No, I didn't even hit the turnpike. I came all the way down 95 right So And I actually I didn't even hit alligator alley. I took were 75 meets uh 275 Okay, and went that way and then came back up.
Is that the Orlando cross? No, this was on the southern tip. Oh, okay.
So this is where I went down to Through the Everglades the Tampa tip or the Tampa no well with and then up through Tampa And then yeah, it's four is what takes you across right or land oh nice 10 No, that's four. It's four Tens out here. Yeah, well the ten goes all the way though.
That's also true. I love I love the road trip and next weekend after next My brother gets married And sure it's in Oklahoma But I get to go to Oklahoma And I get to perform the officiating at my brother's wedding, which I'm so excited about you know I need to do that more Weekend trips. I gotta stop occupying myself Because I've got to have Robtime Um number six and this is something I've really been working on this year specifically.
I got to talk to the moderate more You know she lives in a different time zone So it's not like I can just go to my mom's house Like there are multiple flights involved. I can't go direct from Dallas to Boise. Yeah, can't do it Yeah, I gotta go through Salt Lake And that's the drive that I don't know that I can't do But I need to talk to her more You know and because again It's mom.
Yeah, and at 45 I'm 45 so my mom was considered a leald and I am and so You know she's spry she sharp is attack But I gotta talk to her more Number five and I know I've actually been doing really well on this, but I need to do concerts A recent study shows the more concerts you go to the better your life is Now there's another study that shows you can make a study say anything you want to but You know Charle and I are going to hoody and bear naked ladies next month and not just the ones I'm involved in like when Grace D Place that's different. I'm working you know um I'm hoping to get to you and then we will take that week off because we're not going to do a show Labor Day weekend because that that Sunday night Gin Blossom's tonic and collective soul are playing out of nerving. I'm going to that show Uh, one way or another I need to go to more concerts And I'm not gonna go to a concert just go to a concert But there's time for a field gets tickets and a vet takes it's like hey, you want to go?
Oh, let's go. They were at the off the rails countries festival this weekend Not something I would do, but that's what they did Interestingly enough they wound up sitting next to other friends of mine. Oh, did they really?
Yeah, that's cool Well, not exactly next to but in the same area, which I just found funny that happened to me at a rush show That I was at a friend of the show Chris Randall wound up we were at the Starplex and we were in the reserve seats He was right in front of me. Oh, and I just went Chris Randall And he he I could feel him tense up like there's only one person that says my name that way Uh Number four and I'm a huge fan of these things and now that I'm actually trying to take better care of myself I love water parks. Mm-hmm.
I'm a huge fan of the water park And there are some amazing water parks in this area We have an indoor water park that's open year-round out in Grand Prairie Why am I not doing these things? I didn't know that existed It just opened a couple years ago. Okay, but and it is year-round because it's indoors I thought you were going with great wolf and then you said grand prairie yeah, no no great great wolf Great wolf is its own minor thing.
Yeah, like that's you you plan great wolf. You just don't go to great wolf. That's a weekend trip Dear God, it's expensive Uh, number three museums I have not been to the parot yet really and the parot is doing a Lego exhibit right now I mean, why am I not doing this?
Why am I not calling my niece who loves Legos And apparently now has an affinity for Bob Ross and that just makes her more awesome Why am I not going to the parot? I need to do these things. You know, I try I need to go to the sixth floor once a decade They did it in the 90s.
I did it in the odds. I need to do it in the team. I've never been I've never been to the six floors Amazing never been and it's it'll make you question things though But it's really neat though when you get to the point where you can look out the window and you can see Like it's really well done.
Yeah, I mean, I've heard wonderful things about it I just I think I keep waiting for friends to come in from out of town to show them Stuff and I just never I got to this explore museum before I got where I was living in Dallas. My dad's a huge JFK nut So it was like no, no, we're going to well my buddy James came to town about 10 years ago and he is a history teacher And he was like I can't come to Dallas and not do that right so he in front of the show Julie Wade and I we all went together And you know, I went when I first moved here too so Number two, we are working on this I Need to get back on the golf course You and me both, but I'm also very selective of who I will go to the golf course with because I do not play golf I hit golf balls. It's completely different.
It's too completely different concepts. I keep saying let's all go to top golf And we can laugh at my lack of skill but top golf is different. Yeah, well, yes I want to go to a course and hit the golf ball down the fairway.
Okay That's the thing I like to do kind of like the subtle getting away and nature because golf allows you to separate from everything Whereas top golf is like look at you don't have to get away from everything whereas the golf course is more separating yourself from And there are some amazing golf courses in this town. Mm-hmm. Right.
It just me not golfing ever I think top golf would be a better. Oh top golf is great for people. Yeah, right, but I'm saying it I think it'd be better than me trying to Oh, no, you don't just go straight to a golf course.
Yeah, that's no, no, no, you're honestly I've been at this for 16 years. I still don't belong on a golf course But I got to get new shoes though first because I zion Williams and my shoes recently And I mean it happened exact same way and they were Nike's which makes it even weirder and I want to get back into bowling Oh, I love the bowl You do not let my house you can contact. Yeah, so you do not bowl anymore sir.
No, uh, well, I like to bowl Bullying doesn't like me. That's fair. You could come hang out with us and be the mascot your leader I've heard that before but that also involves beer, which is another thing.
I'm not supposed to do fair enough Number one, and I say this every year. I say this every year But this is the year I want to do it I need to grill more. I've been saying that they so far this year as well I think I my grill that I have in the backyard first lot needs a new cover because that cover's done But the the push button igniter doesn't work and I think that might be just a fuse.
That's gotta be fixed Otherwise, I just take a lighter and light it up Well on the other aspect of that is you've seen where my grill is. It's by the pool Yeah, I got the table and everything. I love use it.
I love grilled food. I enjoy it very much Um, we've had you know back when I had the kind of time we would do my birthday parties here With the boys. There's no way that's gonna happen again.
Right But Chad is an amazing griller This is a true story Chad would I got the grill and people Raved About his abilities at the grill Like he made a marinade that had mountain doing it. This is a true story I don't know what else was in it, but he grilled this chicken in it. I got a smoker out there too Like I need to be doing this more You know just hanging out on a back porch.
It's grabbed the boom box out of my garage Let's crank up a little music and let's get this done You know, I don't know why I'm not making more time to do these things Yeah, and I go over to mom and dad's and use their grill Because I don't have a safe area in my back without pouring cement well, but you're uh Isn't Richardson's laws a little weird on that too? No, is it not? No Okay, because I know in certain places you have to be a certain distance away from the house and all that stuff Well, I mean, that's just natural safety But I don't have like a concrete pad in my backyard so it I'm not comfortable putting a grill on grass In Texas, but what about in your in your driveway though?
Driveways in the front which is okay What he's saying is is if you could keep the grill in your garage Pull it out to the driveway to roll and then go back in. I've never seen anyone pull a grill to their front Because our driveways are in front of the house. Right, but I've seen that all of a time and major head like that I've just never seen it So to me it's that there's nowhere in the back to do it because that's where I mean And that's next to the kitchen and that's where I've always seen grilling that there's the other way you can think about it You've never seen a new we do it, but you could be the first and have other people go well She did it we can do it too, but with when he said about Richardson I'd want to check that that may be a stipulation and why I think you have a contact for that I might have one or two And there's just nothing like it in the world.
I don't care what you do to food There's nothing in the world like grilling food. Yeah, plus if I go to mom and dad's to do it I get to see them And I usually end up with trading out some of them come over to your place and you do it that way Yeah, but I usually trade out like I usually put some of my meat toward them And then they usually have higher quality meat and I usually get some of theirs. So It's an exchange rate I'm gonna judge you outwardly Anything you guys want to add to the list Was at the end I thought that was number two.
No, growing was number one number two was golf. Oh my I just got lost in all the things on that list. I want to do too The only thing I could think of with that is It more of a combination of not just talking to my folks for going to see them more I mean, I haven't been able to see them and got almost a year at this point Uh But it's it's overdue especially you know, I got to see Nana Yeah Nana when the show Nana we love you Nana.
You're our favorite fan All right, but yeah, it's just all those that fall under the bettering oneself while realizing they Not to kill yourself going through with everything. Yeah works not gonna be the thing that you wish you had done more Uh-huh And mozzletop the Chad Best of luck to Don We'll keep you posted we should be back in the studio next week If this is on should but this is still fun.
