You have been welcome to the Clubhouse Podcast, your one stop shop for all things sports, entertainment, pop culture, and pro wrestling. Normally live on Thursdays. This week, we're on Wednesday because of number one of where we are. Yes. Welcome. My name is Rob. I'm the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast. And this is our second roadshow in as many weeks. Technically, third. For me, fourth. Also true. Let's go down the day, shall we? Next to me is the official fact checker of Sooner or Gator productions and a man we chose to go a different rep. You may know him as Ikunu, but his mom and I am Don Ford. I'm gonna call him Don Ford. Hey, man. It was a father's day. Yep. It's a very nice It's an it's a very nice shirt. And it's soccer, and, you know, so no. But It does suit. And at the other end of the table is my cohost and a man that dreads this day every year. Yeah. He is Alex. Is Today is Bobby Konia day. Dumb. It's just so dumb. Nine more payments. I hate Steve Phillips. Nine more payments to Bobby Donia. I hate I hate Steve Phillips, and I can say it to his face. This is a 3 $11,700,000. 1,134,700 per year every year until 2035 for a guy who was never the best player on his own team. I hate Bobby Bonilla Day. But you can't hate Bobby Bonilla. That's I didn't say I hate Bobby Bonilla. I hate That's the brilliance of it. You hate the day, but you can't hate the guy because it's one of the smartest smartest businesses decisions that athletes ever made. Absolutely. I have no issue with the deal being made on Bobby Bonilla's side, but Steve Phillips is a moron. But it's a good example for other teams to No. No. The Dodgers are is there. The Dodgers are already ruining baseball with that. You shut your mouth. It's it's a it's a good a barn. It's a good thing for other teams to see what not That's a that's a thing. It's a warning example. Hey. Do not do this. We are live at the Dallas Host City Media Center downtown Dallas as we are preparing for The US tonight to play Bosnia And Herzegovina. Did I get it right? Herzegovina. I gotta have that on my screen because otherwise Say it was some flare. That will be tonight on your local Fox affiliate from San Francisco Bay Area State. Yeah. These names are great. I love it. Love it. That seven central? It'll be at 07:00 central. Okay. That is correct. We are currently in extra time as Belgium and Senegal. Senegal had this in Hakan. Very much so. At the what? In the eighty first minute. Well, it it's interesting because it's it played on the old hockey rule that is two goals is the worst lead you can have. Did not think it would carry over to the World Cup, but here we are. And I misspoke earlier. We do not have the over yet because the over under on that we will have it because the over under is four and a half, and it's two two right now. Well So the win on penalty kicks or the win in the extra time Penalty kicks do not count towards the total. Don't they? Really? Nope. It's just the total. Well, but if they spend you still have two fifteen minute periods of extra time. And now, what they will do is whoever wins will give a credit for his goal, which is, believe, right? Right. And we don't know how to cut it off. So my question is, do you think it should be sudden death in the first half hour? They don't use the pencil. So I think it's called golden bull. Yeah. Which I think is a great term that everyone should know. I I appreciate that they were they're saying that they don't want something because the idea of a golden goal can happen on a fluke. It can happen on a match. They wanna make sure the best teams are going through. They can fly a fly a two fifteen minute period regardless of people's But but the first two matches with The US, the first goal they got were own goals. It it the same point, that's what they wanna avoid. That's that's that's Not oh, that's the way sports go as you know it in this But not but not the only craziness today. Earlier, England goes down one nothing, and then they go, oh, yeah. We have a Harry Kane. Yeah. There's two more goals for you, and we're going on. There's a statement I didn't expect to sound dirty today. Well But that's gonna be a barn burner, That's cool. Oh, yeah. So that's gonna be Sunday at 07:00 central on your I I I know who's most excited for this. And that would be you know, we've got to suck. Yvonne's here with us. So we have now I was trying to tee it up. I didn't realize he's eating chips on a microphone. In the last nine days, I've been be I've been able to work with all three of the MVP in this network. Because I I've said it before, I'll say it again. The most valuable people we have here at Stolen Water Media and Sunset last year, it doesn't are our engineers. Yes they are. Because when we do the show normally, I am the engineer. I'm having to do all the things. So I understand what Yvon goes through. And but from a remote standpoint, when we do a remote show, you should see all the stuff that's up here. Oh yeah. That we like, we don't we don't have this much stuff when we do a road show. I I I love looking around when we do this and I'm like, I don't even know if I own as many things as Yvonne has cameras. But it makes me feel important and I'm okay with it. Yeah. Yeah. But Yvonne's here with us today. We love our engineers. They're great people. We all we have And he's repping. Yeah. We have all three host countries represented because he's got his Mexico hat on. You're wearing your Canada shirt and I'm wearing my US Shout out, Old Navy. He's very comfortable. You're not you're not being left out. Yeah. You're just using Right. So and that's But we're not talking about that, mate. I just wanted to clarify. Yeah. And what's on the field left out? Also, Sunday, Brazil after beating Japan Oh. On Norway who beats Ivory Coast. And Japan went up one to as well. Yeah. So it's it's it's like every underdog is deciding to take a shot, then the big teams are going, oh, wait. Well, let's let's talk about a couple of the big stories. Canada finally advances past the round of 32 for the first time as they beat South Africa. The one To clarify, this is the first time they've had a round of 32. I'm just saying This is the first time they've gotten to the round of 16. But I'm just saying, regardless For the sake of statement. Morocco also beats Netherland. I would go, Actually, I mean, penalty kicks. Mhmm. They had to go to there, so they're at three two. So they'll play Saturday at feud. Yep. Then Sweden, they're done. Yeah. Yeah. Because France, who didn't give up halfway through, which we appreciate The World Cup residents of Frisco are gone. Real. And and the big news Uh-huh. Germany is out. O u t oot. As they they lose in penalty kits to Paraguay. Paraguay. Paraguay in France will be Saturday at 04:00 central. I'm I'm I'm still a little mad about the England match earlier, and this is the one for Yvonne. I'm prompting you right now. So be ready. Got mine. We had Congo. Affectionately known as Doctor Congo during this. So we had Doctor Congo. And we could have had Doctor Simi versus Doctor Congo on Sunday. How much do you are you disappointed that we don't have that? Because I'm very disappointed. Especially when you think about it, you have doctor Simi and the endless motion, and then you have doctor Congo with their fan, La Mumbai, who just stands. So you would literally have the opposite ends of the coin. How much writing would have went into this? It would have been great. It it would have been a great setup, but you know what? I'm I'm definitely excited You're for still happy for Mexico to go through. I I ready just to watch that crowd. Yes. Because this is at at in Mexico. Yes. Yeah. So this this match is gonna be a lot of fun to watch. I just realized that my picture kinda matches the Belgian shirt. A little bit. Yeah. You've gotta cover. That's true. Here's another thing. So they owe you tickets. Mexico, this is like one of the farthest they got. Have you seen not one bullet in school? Nope. Not one. Not a single one. So you gotta give it they're they're that kind of best golf course in here. It's totally top of Spain and Germany and England and stuff like that. But World Cup tends to have that On betting errors. Yeah. Through. Yeah. Yeah. Spain plays tomorrow at two. I've got them winning the whole thing. So I'll be rooting for you. But that's what I love about this. Any team can win. That's absolutely Once you none of that, you know Everything matters and and the best teams go through it. There's no question about it. Spain and Austria are your first team tomorrow at two Central, and then at six Central, you're gonna have Alicia and On the minute so far. You are. Portugal? Portugal. And then and here's the girl. That's the sixth. And then that's all you've got. Quick note. Sunday is not as at at Azteca. Okay. It is at Estadio Del Marte Okay. In Mexico City. Fair enough. So So on. We're someone who can send a shout to the host team. Absolutely. We've got a huge screen in front of us that we're watching the match. Yes. Move on without him. The numbers talk of him going to Ohio. He's from I I there was I can tell you where he's going because I've been watching this coverage. Mhmm. He's going to Golden State. That is now when he's done done, he may sign a one day contract with Cleveland or a one year Yeah. Of V2V run. Yeah. But, you know, hey. If you're gonna do that for him, then the Knicks need to do it for Dan Hausen. Well Just that. But we we also have to clarify that there is the other level of why this city has been talked about as a destination because of the new or the current ownership who has had a vested interest in bringing a team to Las Vegas, which has long been rumored that LeBron is eyeing to be part of the ownership group when he does make it up. I'll have Johnson and Kobe getting pieces of the Lakers, and with him not staying with the Lakers, there's only so many pieces to go around anyways, and I don't think they're doing those deals. I would say, and if that team does happen, they're gonna happen. Also, sir. Let's talk Major League Baseball stadiums right now, boys. Oh, but can we not get over the gifts of all of the Bronnie going, hey, dad. Where are we going? Yeah. We? We? Bron's gonna say to Bronnie, but my mom said to me, I bought a house. I'm moving. You're not. Yeah. That is a true story. I remember. In the American League East, the Boston Red Sox continued their seller dweller status. They are 13 and a half back. They're a game and a half back of the Orioles. Baltimore now one back of Toronto. Toronto now eight back of the Yankees. The Yankees have dropped seven in a row. And because of that, and because of the fact that the Tampa Bay is on a six game heater, which by the way, Rachel was there Watching. Game. They are now sick three games up in the AL East. Well, this is I blame the kid that went viral for crying about being a Mets fan. He jinxed the Yankees. In the, AL Central, the Royals. Yeah. They're still terrible. They're still a thing. Back. They're two and a half back of Detroit. Tigers are now three back of Minnesota, but Detroit's not a three game heater. Well, they're getting healthy. Twins are five back four back on Cleveland, and Well is one game back on Swiss, who is still in first place in this division. Well, at least they see they got some World Cup there to make him happy. Well, there's a number of cities that can say that, but they ain't happy. ALS, La. La is still in the cellar. Are they? Uh-oh. They're at eight back. They're four and a half back of dude, homeless vagabonds are on a nosedive right now. Yeah. They are. They led the division I'm six days ago. I And now they're you're one from the sellers. I I need to do some research if there is a major talent coming up in this next draft because there are a number of teams making some really questionable decisions that are more tanking, and that's not something we typically see in baseball unless you have somebody like a Bryce Harper coming up or a Jackson Holiday. So homeless vagabonds are now two back on Houston Houston Houston. AFTROs are a game and a half back on, by the way, you're now co leader of the division in the Rangers and Seattle. Yep. After Texas only was on a one game skid, but Seattle's won two in a row. Let's go to the National League. If Mike wants to continue to think so, what would it be? A show with my behavior. Yeah. Well, technology can always tell when you need something. It usually happens with printers, but it often happens with computers too. Have I stolen? Colorado put Oh, shocker. The Giants now 20 and a half games back in a division that has the Dodgers in the defense of anything. They are eight games back of San Diego. Padres and Arizona are both tied, but they are 12 and a half back of the Dodgers right now. It's July 1, boys. Yeah. We we say this every year because the Dodgers have figured out the loophole in the system. They have the billions of dollars to exploit said loophole, and it happens every year. They take the rest of the season off by July because the rest of their division sucks, and then they wind up killing it in the playoffs because they're ref In the NL Central, Dom, your division's getting a little bit less competitive. Really? I don't think now it's up to the getting Addie's in the cellar. They're 13 and a half back. They're only behind number 11 Pittsburgh Pirates. Pirates are three back on Saint Louis. Saint Louis are two and a half back on the cups. The cups are now five back on Milo Wauke. Now, that being said, think about the fact that Milwaukee seven and three in their last 10, the cubs nine and one. The Milwaukee's at a plus one twenty seven. Well, they're scored broad, and they are keeping people off the board too. And the only division that matters, the NL East. Get it over with. Rip the band aid. And a half back. Are Sorry. Back of the national that We waited three months to fire an a useless manager who shouldn't have been hired in the place. About that. What's you you glad he's gone? He shouldn't have been hired in the first place. I maintain that. Okay. Nat Mills are two back on my beloved Marlins Marlins are two back on the Phillies. The Phillies now two and a half back on Atlanta. Atlanta on a three game skit, but they won seven in a row. For that. Yeah. So they're holding on to the lead, but I'm also holding on to hope because it's not the all star right now. But you you also have to realize Atlanta is struggling a bit right now because they're dealing with a lot of injuries. They're pitching staff, but they are getting healthier. They're gonna be getting healthy for August. They're gonna be primed for a run as long as they're in the day. While we wait for Yvonne to get back to his station because he has to play North America's favorite game show. Yes. He does. Don't ruin it. Serena Williams have revisits Wimbledon Uh-huh. Yesterday. Didn't see him, but she still had the chance to doubles with her sister. So I you know, I looked down and I was like, isn't wait. S Williams Wimbledon? Isn't he retired? Like, had a moment. I forgot about her doing the door. Alright. You have to play North America's favorite game show with us. I'm in. So, take a simple question. What is the run differential for the Colorado Rockies? I will tell you this. They are the worst in the league in this category. I have absolutely no idea. I'm give you a number, bro. It could be negative. Negative, but roll with it. Should Don and I go first so he's a No. It's football football I'm trying to be I'm trying to be considerate. Because that's why it comes this way. Yeah. Let's I don't know. I I wouldn't even know what number to throw up. 12. Alright. Fair enough. I'm gonna say you're way below. Yeah. I'm I'm I'm this is why I was also offering for the setup. Colorado appreciates the I'm I'm gonna say you know what? Just to be that guy, I'm gonna say negative one zero one. Alright, Don. I'm gonna get what I did last. Negative one zero is fine. Not about a 100, but I'm gonna do since he did one zero one. I'm gonna do one zero five. So let me just preface this by saying earlier today, the Colorado Rockies lost to the Ford So there's nine. They have played 86 games so far. Okay. They're thirty three and fifty three right now. So I probably would have done like one zero six. That is a three eighty four win percentage. So they only win about 38 more time or 38% more often than we do. They are 23 games back in the division currently. Mhmm. Eighteen and twenty four home, fifteen and twenty nine on the road. Four and six in their last 10, they're on a three game skid. Because of that game against the Marlins, it helps Alex. Oh. It does not help Don because split it down the middle, they're currently at a minus one zero three. Oh. Oh, this is this this feels good. This feels good right now. Scored 397 I don't think we've ever we've never had the needle thread like that. They've scored 397 runs. They've given up a fine quarter. Yeah. That would the reason we do this is it's comical. It's so bad. Yeah. In in hockey, we do goal differential. In baseball, we do run Red difference. And it's always so much more than we expect. Because they're not as inflated in the other two. Let's talk into the TV talk boys. Yeah. Stuff we watched this week. This past week was the season finale of Welcome to Wrexham. By the way, if you have a total wine near where you live, they are now carrying the Rob Mac, Ryan Reynolds owned Wrexham Lager. Oh, I didn't realize they had bought the beater. Oh, it was. I thought the turf owned. Oh, okay. Okay. Yep. That's cool. There's a picture of them. The potent wine has a picture and they're like looking off in the distance with fully next to each other. It's very strange. But the season finale was called here we go. Yep. Shout out to the women's team. They've won their league. Yeah. Which is a great and the fact that they played that at the at the race ground or the race course was and they give you the history of the race course too, not just kind of nice. And the young lady making the bears, she didn't get to talk to Ryan. Oh. But she did get to talk to Rob McElhain. Yeah. They faced that. She she was, like, she was visibly flustered. You saw her turn You could see it matter. And do you want me to just go ahead and say what happened? Say it. He has ordered a thousand more to be ready for Christmas. That they're going to Nice. That they're going to deliver to very Love it. Down Wales. I absolutely love it. And he was surprised how he just fuck. He even said like, there wasn't even hesitation. Yeah. And I'm going, Rob McElhinney calls me and says, hey, Rob. Can you make me 70,000 boulders by tomorrow? You say, yes. I I feel like we have to go back to the Ghostbusters as well. Yeah. And it's when somebody asks you if you are a god, you say yes. But a really really great episode. Yeah. Very much enjoyed it. Anything it's a few boys watching so we can You know, House of the Dragon has come back. It's been back for a few episodes. It's toing really well. They they have decided they're just gonna hit the ground running on the the penultimate season. So it's been really solid. Yep. And I've I've gone last week. So Yep. House of Dragons. Mhmm. Yeah. And I'd like the story line how it's going. I think it's great news. The Netflix are trading Jaylen Brown to the seventy sixers for Paul Ripley, two first round picks and two second. That might be the thing that gets them over the hump. That might be the thing that gets Philly over the hump. I'm gonna have to reach out to some friends I have in the area. And also, shout out to CBS Yes. For this fantastic World Cup. CBS. I didn't know that. Okay. So what what other thing? TV that's besides House of Dragon, we which we binged in about half was the late season of this. Oh, it was. Good, but not as good as the other years. Bet it kinda went in a different direction of it, but it still shows how people competed and stayed at the ones that made the team and the ones that got cut. It wasn't much of the the season after the trouts and where they made the team like it was in the other years. It's a little like one and a half episodes of the entire season, which is kind of a little bit different, but still worthy. We are going to penalty kicks, boys. Both of Oh, was that the I thought that was just the first. Oh, no. That's the first extra time? Okay. Yeah. Fifth another fifteen minutes. I thought we were Yes. Sorry. It's halftime of Equita. Yeah. You know what? I just kinda wanna be a jerk and thank our new assistants. That's right. Leave the record. You guys have been great. The AV guys here. Yeah. Oh, come on. We could have pretended they were fans for the first time. Warner Brothers Animation, after last week announcing that they're doing animated series, Captain and Crypto. Oh. Which was redone by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp Yes. About ten, fifteen years ago. It's based on a a soap opera from the sixties. Is it really? Definitely. Thought it was comic anyways. No. That's the that's the the source material. Okay. That it was just a regular soap opera, and it was flailing in the in the ratings. And so they put a vampire in there and just right off to the right. So they basically were the original What We Do in the Shadows? Pretty much. Okay. Pretty much. ABC, ESPN, Hulu, Disney Plus has relived a series based on the the movie Aquamarine. This was the Okay. Girls movie and the mermaids and the fakes. Emma Roberts, what's your I feel like Emma Roberts is always attached to things like this or at least initially. They've also announced that Camp Rock three will debut August 3 and Sydney twice. Disney. So that's gonna be Jonas Brothers, because they are back for Camp Rock three because there were so many unanswered questions from Camp Rock two. And they'll be playing at Windstar in a couple. We've seen the changes already. Yep. By the way, you know what else is playing at the Windstar? Know. Brian Nance is coming up. Wu Tang clanbaby. Overly. Wu Tang is I like I like how you're like, you know who else is playing, and Don immediately jumps in with Brian Adams and it's like, I know it's about going more for the killers. I would go to both of those shows. I would too. Especially if they were the same show. And he's always And and Brian Adams with Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo. Yeah. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm picturing Brian Adams doing a version of Bring the Pain, and it's killing me. Canada rules everything around. I'm sorry. Hold on. Brian Adams. CBS announcing Martin Farming is going to be in season three of NCI Sport. Okay. He's coming out of a group. He is so beloved, and it's crazy that he wasn't an actor to start. If you are a Mark Harman fan and have not seen summer school, but that's fine. I'm sorry. If you're a Mark Harman fan and haven't seen summer school, you're not a Mark Harman fan. So you got that going? Actually, you can be. Okay. I thought it was what was picking up the it's breathing. So That's just the position. Gotcha. Okay. And they have renewed nemesis for season two. Okay. Videos has announced that the Reacher spin off, Eagly. Mhmm. It's gonna kick off September 16, and season four of Reacher will kick off August About a week or a month before. Yeah. They're they're they're doing the month, and then it leads right into the Eagly. I'm excited. Wanna send a message right now because run sheet couldn't get finished. Digital bits. Fix your site. Oh. Because I go to the digitalbits.com is a site I've gone to for years that's Don't forget. That's where no. I'll give them a shout. Okay. Or maybe they're on. They are my go to. Uh-huh. That's one where I get my release schedule. There that specific page has had an SSL problem for a week. Get it fixed. Because the site I went to gave me literally just about nothing. Oh, wow. So digital fix, get on it. Movies and stuff we watched this week. The only movie I got to watch is one we're gonna talk about new releases. I don't have a movie this week. I saw one that was I think I'm starving. HBO Max. I wanna show that very That's on my list. It was it was fun. I I was gonna say, please tiptoe if you're gonna cover details because it's interesting. You look at HBO Max. Their top three streaming are exactly what you would expect, including How to Make a Killing and They Will Kill You. Yeah. So that that was a lot of fun. And then the one that I know you probably saw three times already, I was on Disney plus the new, avatar. Okay. Not not straight. But they have three hours and What? Thirty minutes? Yeah. Twenty minutes. I have not watched it yet. Part three. Let's just say fire and ash. It is not what I refer to it. Yeah. Don't think that visually beautiful but Wait. Wait. Wait. We have a subtitle. It's thunder and ash. I'm I'm not trying to steal the bit. I'm trying to enhance it. By the way, he's lovingly called the avatars thunder smurfs. Really? Which is why I didn't say that term. That is yours. Actually not mine. Well, I just don't know, but To my knowledge, it's yours. Well, that's what they say. Like, the first time it's hey, I I I see A buddy of mine told me this thing. And then the second time it's, hey, I heard this thing. And then the third time it's, hey, I did this thing. That's the logical progression. Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough. If you are a fan of the movie Backburns I've heard nothing but great things. This coming Friday, it's coming back into theaters called Backrooms Everything Must Beast. Teen extra minutes. Oh, the original set. The the essentially, the resume film. There I read the Wikipedia page. There's another film I could compare it to. So you can ask me off here. I'll tell you. Well, it's interesting because they're also bringing back the game, that it was similar or similarly set up to oh, no. Excuse me. I'm thinking of Exit eight, not Backrooms. That's my fault. Backrooms is a huge No. No. But what I'm saying is Exit eight is in that same vein, but it is actually based on a video kit that sets up into the movie. I always confuse it because Backrooms has a simpler one. In September 10 to the seventeenth, action of the Christ is going to return to theaters, and it will include a peek at the resurrection of the Christ. And now it's a resurrection of the Christ part one. Yeah. Oh, no. It's Paul Gibson needs the money. You want me to start going back up back? What what is that streaming? It's not streaming. It's in theaters. It's going back to theaters. This TV series. Oh, the YouTube. YouTube. It's a YouTube series, not really a TV series. On on the other side of the the Mel Gibson coin, we wanna send our best out. He announced that he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Yes. Oh. So, yeah. Earlier this year, late last year, he and Mel actually went to the extension at Denver. So Sarah put a lot of people. They very rare. That's cool. I I was thinking of a sports headline parallel to that. Oh, okay. I don't know if you have. Well, we're not doing sports, so I assume not. Chris Johnson has been diagnosed with AIDS. Yeah. So CJ two k, our best go out to you as well. Just a couple of new video releases this week. I have the invite on this list, because there's there's a screen tonight. Apparently, you're checking out what's coming up. Yes. You know, I always wonder when there's situations like this, like, maybe they're like, oh, this is gonna wind up getting into purgatory. It's gonna get into reused. I don't know. I don't know what happened there. But Minions and Monsters hit theaters yesterday. Love, love, love, love, love. You can see my review if you go to stolenwatermedia.com. That's our website. The ding. So much Why did I instinctively look for the sound board? So much homage in this and Easter egg. Yeah. It's done in a way that doesn't take can I give you just one that just brought me Please? Please. Within the first two minutes. Mhmm. Because the the base of the story takes place in a museum. Mhmm. That's a Hollywood museum that leads into the main story. Which is given in the trailer. Correct? I don't know. The making of movies with monsters. Well, that's what it leads up to. That's what I'm saying. That's in the trailer I've tried to In this in this museum Mhmm. Is the airplane from airplane wrecking the knot. Yeah. I said, I don't care what happens for the next hour and a half of my life. I'm happy This is the greatest movie I've ever seen. That that that was your equivalent to me seeing the credits in Mortal Kombat two. I I don't care what happens. I'm good. I almost jumped out of my chair in joy. Yeah. Because and then and I also sent a text to to a friend of the show, Lael and Dylan, who are who I work with a lot at conventions or ASL interpreters. Mhmm. There is ASL representation in this film. But we still need to do further review, like you I I cannot verify or deny the accuracy of it, but there is there is inclusion, and that's important to me. And I also looking up the singing competition. So One thing I love about the minions is the voice characters are very good, and how there are some new characters in this Mhmm. Which I their voice and their they're pretty well, I'd say max. The the great Christoph Waltz. Yeah. And then I'm gonna say some awesome cameos. What? This movie is so well done. I'll I'll give you off air. I'll tell you one thing that I thought was really, really cool. Okay. Well, but if you remember in the first minions, you do get the origin story, which they hold some Yeah. Okay. Just it's the first ten to fifteen minutes. Yeah. So you get to see more masters they have worked for in history. And it's just it's It's good. I was not disappointed. For the seventh film in a series Yeah. Yeah. You you I will say the Despicable Me series going back further has been consistently different. I just I find it hard to believe that they knew the minions would take off like that. Like, the first time I saw the first despicable me, I'm like, they're the best thing is I love the corral. Okay. And I I complained because I was like, great. We have yellow ewalks. And I was wrong. I was wrong. And have you seen the Wendy's Summer Show? No. I have not. Wendy's has got the promotional time. We're gonna get a Minion dressed as Wendy. Oh. And they have a a Frosty that's banana, swirled in it. And then Minion just walks up and goes, hi, Wendy. And he just holds it up, and then there's like the thing, then the Wendy's going like balls on him. Here's my thing. I think I have seen my review. The Minions at its core is the stooges for a new generation. You're not wrong. That's all it is. And it's it's a simple thing, and it works. And I giggled at every sight gap. Every sight giggle at one Yeah. All that's throughout the movie. And there's some of the homages are so subtle that if if you are someone who studies film and knows classic because it takes place in the twenties. Mhmm. You know those films. There's even musically. At one point and I actually no. I'm not gonna say that because I want people to discover it. Yeah. But even music. Yeah. It just oh, I love this movie. If you said something about the way we stalls, minions sell this person. You could go to Wendy's. Okay. You could get the meal. Okay. You get a little minion that's dressed as Wendy. Really? Okay. Yeah. And I I have given up on Wendy's, but if you're telling me they're adding banana to the Frosty's, I gotta go. Wendy's was my first job. Mhmm. Ever. Well, we still have also talked about the fact that you may have served me at that job. It's very possible. Yeah. So Wendy's I always I I will be a fan of Wendy's. Even to this day, even though it's not as good as it was back then. That's what I'm saying. But it's still good. It's still good. And they, you know when I worked there, it's the ferocity's coming like, a the the vicks into the thing that freezes it? You just just take the vicks. You I believe you have said you long for the day that Wendy's realizes that and adds it to the menu. Shout out store 1094.7. Still there. Mhmm. And I'm gonna eat there when I go to Florida. Always Good. I always gonna make sure that will happen to we we always have to think. There's the pub subs, and for me, it's La Grande. The pub sub may either pub sub or checkers may be the first. See, I always do the pub sub first because then I can take it home wherever I'm Well, and we I may have to talk to you about that. I might see if you want to let people take it here. Okay. We'll figure it out. Don't wanna pay stuff. You could have just said I don't wanna pay. I understand that thoroughly. I don't want to pay. I do. I'm cheap. But I'm just saying, parking at the airport for a week and a half. There. No. I get you on that one. It'd be a little ridiculous. It's all insane. And I'm flying back on on Labor Day. Of course. Yeah. Also this week, Angel Studios releases Young Washington. This It's not about Denzel. No. And every bit of it, just every time they release something else, it makes it look worse. And, you know, shout out to Mountain Dew. Oh. What do do now? Well, I opened up my latest 12 pack of Mountain Dew today, and it's outside of it looks normal, but the cans are now American. They should've just left that interest in American, dude, but they did. Because we got a little meal from church, and they put sodas in there and it's. Plastic thing? Oh. Oh, where's the deal? But it's funny that Don mentioned that because I have an item about that later in the show. He's like, okay. Doctor Thunder. Yeah. Exactly. Now Lightning and Americano. The the only three DVD or Blu ray releases I could get a hold of for this week, the drama. No offense to you. You have said that repeatedly, and it is includedly in your review at stolenwatermedia.com. That's still our website, I think. Maybe scratch this thing. You have that I have not seen you that angry for a movie since. We almost had a golden No. No. No. There is no golden goal. We almost had a goal. Okay. He ate like Great job. Because that's like alliteration. You do love alliteration. I swear this is the the film based on the documentary about the kid in England. Correct? Yeah. One of my favorite films. You have Matt? Have spoken very highly of that. So cool. The the trailer for where? Yeah. Just find the back of the You know, it's kind of funny that you say that because it dropped the day after I talked extensively about Robert Eggers on another show. Last pitch, Vincent and Maya decided to escape their gang and There's a run from their events. A defensive offender, and everybody's chasing focus. Alright, boys. Let's get into wrestling talk and the chief podcast section of this show. I can tell that. I can't speak about PO that opportunity. We lost Joe Dory last week. Was a big guy that's part of Eric Young's. He was in violent by design. Yes. He was a very, very nice man. Sherry loved him in the story. She slammed a bursary. Everybody had fans. The Joe Van. Yeah. Remember he had the cowboy hat. Yes. Stuff like that. Exactly. It could could not have been more different than his angry resistance characters. He's always willing to help. I've heard I've been very lucky to hear a multitude of stories from and others about Joe Doran willing to help out others and train. It's it's a loss. We have a possible penalty here, boys. Yeah. A little chippy. Oh, down goes Frazier. But we don't know what's going to result of it because it could be a penalty. Yeah. This one could go either way. Well, at this time, we're so late in extra time. This could be a despite or if it is a PK. Flint, speaking of slammiversary, it was a thing on Sunday afternoon. Yeah. Was announced by Tracy Brooks that the knockouts are getting a TV title in a tournament that starts tomorrow night of 16 people. The the belt looks great. I I love the belt. But it you know how much I hate hearing stories like this because I feel like there's too many titles. We don't need titles. Give us better writing. This is a heads up title for the night outs, which they do not have. Which they don't have. Yeah. No. No. I I get that. But what I'm getting at is there's just too many belts in Yeah. And they're doing it the right way because the person that holds the belts only can defend it on impact. Nice. The way it's supposed to be. On TV per se. Yeah. And Tracy Brooks looks fantastic still. She always does. She always will. It was announced that both Amazing Red and Conan are going into the hall of fame at Battlefront Rory alongside UBB. Oh, wow. That that was and I believe Styles is in that class, if he not. No. Styles is fine. I don't think they've done that. Okay. I thought they I thought they had done that earlier on. But I will say it was a really cool way they introduced Conan going into the hall with a buzz letter, we'll call it, from Santana on all that Conan has done. I will say that some of the terminology used felt really unstable because talking about walking in with your peers and standing with your peers, Timing's a little bit rough on that line. But I liked how they just said we have a we have a message from my son, and I think they need to get up. Yep. They let that reveal itself as the vignette went on. But I I need to hear from somebody who told me that I couldn't be right when I said that I bet Amazing Red goes into the hall or it's announced. But to their credit, they did say that's a hall. Is that beyond sound for glory? Like you did. But I I I feel very proud of that call that Amazing Red was going to be announced after the match. They did it the same way they did it for OBB. Like, Zeri. Mhmm. They have. Kicks done. Oh, he kicked okay. So they're saying it's a penalty because he kicked him. Okay. This could be the ball game right now. This could it's a penalty kick. Here we go. Uh-oh. Let's go. Belgium getting bailed out. Time to to get it on. Come on. It's a foul. But if you have a chance to look up Kasarian speech on that, it is fantastic. Amazing red. They opened the show with that match and he was the first one that came out, which I thought was a little strange. I thought they, but they didn't. So from what I was told is the reason that he would take first was because they are viewing up the graphics and everything after he left Guerilla. Okay. Fair So they were getting everything uploaded. So because he didn't know. Oh, yes. The Cornet, did he ever visit Belgium just once? Yes. Yes. Might know. He wasn't Conan. Okay. You're gonna remember the character. Rob, please take this. I can't put his face. Supposed to go to WWE in nineties. They wanted him to be the character Max Moon, and he didn't And so somebody else did. I believe he did do some dates as as Max Moon and Bale. I don't think he did. I think he was like, hard pass. So, that's a bit of a it's a bit of a sore point. Okay. Yes. We have new knockouts tag champs in Bimin Bunny. Oh, boy. Yep. Very excited about that. Enter Apollo Crews. Brilliant. He is now Wuhan nation. Back to being Wuhan. Wuhan was his last name. Mhmm. He's now Wuhan Nation. I I really dug the little one off they had with him later and Oh, I don't think that I don't wanna Go ahead. I'll remember. He and Moose who have a similar background with the Nigerian upbringing and being, you know, children of immigrants, so to speak, had a nice moment together. So I think we might wind up getting Moose and Uhanes together, which is a great team. Zaya Brookside wins clean to become your new knockouts champion. She still looks well, but it'd be weird. And Nick Nemeth wins the world championship Really? Yeah. For his second time. Yeah. Was it clean? No. No. Ryan got well, Ryan got involved, but there wasn't contact. Does that make sense? So there it was board of It was a distraction. There was no interference in the in the in the finale. They announced that BFG will be October 11 in Santa. Ready for that for Battleford again. And Destination x will be November 15. Destination x will be back. That that is awesome. I mean, we're getting lockdown back this year. We're getting Destination x back this year. Very excited of what TNA has been doing lately. Also, this weekend, Night of Champions was a thing. But it's No. Ova existed. Ova wins clean in less than ten minutes. I was surprised by that. I was too. I was surprised by everything in that match because well, number one, I think we all thought Jay was gonna win by some kind of shit out against because that's the more interesting story. And then they unwrite their own story on months. Yeah. So So what about do you think he'll get still get the title shot and move it down the road to make Put a pin in it. Okay. Well, I think we're gonna cover it. Did you watch Raw? Well, not in the beginning. I haven't got through the whole big mess up here. Can you The the interruption The answer will happen at the beginning. Yeah. Well, the end Yeah. Well, the full answer happened at the end. I I was burying for later. Yeah. Liv gets cursed and loses. And now they and now they buy it? Yeah. I love it. Human money. Let's talk about the media. Belgium scores on the PK. It's over. No. It's not. I think I I thought it was I mean, available. Oh, there's still some time there. No. No. No. You you have fifteen two fifteen minute periods from ninety seconds. But they only got ninety minutes. Now. They got two minutes to tie. They got two minutes to tie. I'll see. Yep. Call it right now. Dover. By the way, put Fantastic Four except it's not Oba, family. It's Obu. He said Oba. I'm a call him Oba. He also spells it Oba. Yeah. But we also have the I kicked my water bottle. We now have our most redundantly named Stoopers star in a while because it's King Oba, Themie, the ruler. Technically, King, Oba, and ruler all mean the same thing. I'm just saying. Well, that's Thank you, everybody. One thing to mistake. What is that? It's it's so dumb. It's ATM machine. It's that level. It's hat on a hat on a hat. Well, let's talk about the speed of things. Okay. If Tammy wins clean now, I I I gotta say I was half right. I I think we both were. I said that he would win the title there, but not until WrestleMania. You and I said the same thing. So I'm half right. Yeah. He did win the title there. It was just nine months earlier than we had anticipated it to be. But the interest the weirdest part to me is that sets up the most interesting story they could tell, but it doesn't fit with the king of the ring. You mentioned that that that they they might even have the stones to tell the story. Well, they now they don't have the setup. Because the setup required Jay to win king of the ring, Sammy to win the title. So then you have the thing where it's, well, the bloodline already has it. So now what do I do? Boom. We have the setup where Oba is now available for the shot. And what you do is you have the setup of oh, actually, excuse me. Now it's the setup for that because you have now Oba has is owed a title trumpet. So the concept is he was gonna go after Cody. Now Sammy, the honorary Ooz has it. So you have Jay caught in the middle where he's still gonna have Ova go after Sammy or excuse me. Now Jay's not going after it, but you have Sammy who damn. So the question is, does Roman sacrifice Sammy, or does he take it on himself in that story? I think they painted themselves into a corner, which is why we get what we did on Raw. Why doesn't Ogle go after What a pin in it. It's already booked. But he could still say, hey. It up. Hey. Wait. Wait. Wait. There is a there is a rumor that is coming out of raw. I am literally not saying because we're not there. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Two hour snack down returns this week. For the six months off. Goodness. The MFT's are out. Yeah. Okay. They told they told someone to go compensation. Yeah. They're okay. Yes. And we did have finally the appearance by Blake Monroe. Yeah. You got that going. Raw was an interesting beast. I found it to be so dull, I fell asleep. It's I didn't get to watch it until the next day because Mhmm. It it definitely was one that made me I think with a lot of down. Yeah. So it was a lot of that. It it was also a lot of let's do exposition because people are tired from travel. Literally what this felt like was nobody wants to wrestle because we've all just got back from Saudi. Let's just chip. So Oba gets Brock at SummerSlam. The first Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam since 2008. Which Haas fight Hell in a Cell. Uh-huh. Why not? I let's go. This has to lead whatever kind of don't Because Well, it's Well, it's also because that's when I texted you. I said, men's king of the ring is first. Thousand percent Lesnar's there. Yep. He wasn't. Nope. But here's the thing. Now that you have the first hour on ESPN or the Deuce, that match has to lead the show on one of those two nights. I don't know if it has to. And plus it doesn't have to be because of Lesnar. They're in Minneapolis. He's right up the street. He lives in Saskatchewan. Close the kingdom. But the point being is is the old adage is unless Lesnar is getting paid vain of that money, he's going on first and going home. And remember, I never had to take That's also fair. But in that same vein, this may be your night one main event. Because wait. Because one of the rumors is that Roman is going to say, no. No. Logan was supposed to get a shot at SummerSlam, so he has to be try and take advantage. That's the rumor right now that Overt Idelshock will become the main event. So then you have the full setup of, is he going for Sami, which is going against targets? What does Roman do to try and guide him to win it? Or how do we tell that story of Ova choosing Froot as the title shot on night two? And then two of them get to see the next t shirt match was a thing. Oh, was it? First time that the we have For the record, we have one great thing coming out of the bash, but I'm not gonna say so. First time that he has seen it, we've gone past television. Mhmm. Yeah. I'm still Yeah. That's surprising. Because because NXT doesn't normally go three on a police. No. Hey, you know what? But when I queued it up, I queued it up as if it was a two hour show. Mhmm. Then I hit the first commercial break. I went, oh, this was scheduled for Tony Hawk. We have a handball that didn't get called. Uh-oh. It could be AR. Like, if they do. So you see them? This is a defangal. Yep. They haven't. This entire World Cup is the best stuff. I love it. The one thing I say about it over and over again, it is the only time it's the best of the best of the best all playing against the cup. And one little fact, last thirteen thirteen super boots have less viewership combined. Because of the things. Yeah. Yeah. But still think about that. Mhmm. One match has more. Well, I mean, your your demographic you're pulling from. It's still great example. Get it right. Yeah. The only belt that moved was you had your new women's champion and one Kendall Gray. Know, Kendall Gray is the consistent base thing coming up in any division. That's what I'm saying is the best thing. She is an awesome choice for NXT champion. She is their best performer in ring right now, even at this time. But she had the third angle choice. Yes. She did. She did the homage. And then Nikita Wines is your new ballpoint. Oh, so Senegal got the free kick off of the handballs. It misses it, and that's the end of the game. That's how they're turning is going on to the 16 voice. Mhmm. So they will face the winner of Nice to happen tonight. I guess. Oh, heat wave will air opposite of all in. Do they keep it? Why do they keep doing this stuff? Good luck. Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot? They tried to serenade my man to bed. Well, no. No. No. We we know everything they've tried. Yeah. It's failed every single time. Now they're just doing some kind of little mini But what what I'm saying is is it's the same thing Yeah. That they keep doing, and it keeps failing. Oh, and they're running a triple a show though. Yeah. That's not surprising. But at the same time, triple a r is not competition for them. If they're doing their own thing, and it's great. If you're gonna go up against it, don't go up against all in. Exactly. It's a major kid. It is the major. Yeah. So not to mention, we're literally, you know, paint by numbers of the storybook or the the childhood story for Wembley. We'll get to that here in a minute. That's why I was being vague. Last night, Jackson's got some right. Doctor. Thirst. Doctor. Thunder. That's Doctor. Thunder. Oh, yeah. Doctor. No. Doctor. Thirst is a weird website problem. Even weird. And in for Nikki Blackheart. Yes. Have a name yet. Her name is expected to be her real last name. I believe it is Nikki Brooks. As of the house, they had there had not been No. No. They haven't announced anything. It's what's expected to be. I really felt bad about that you fucked the segments. I yeah. She she lifted Kendall Gray and one of her She lost her balance. Yeah. And then she pulled it off, but then she just got out of the ring and Yeah. Still on air. Well, it's also her first appearance on TV, not counting like dark back in the day. Shout out to her though. Absolutely. She's phenomenal. From an AEW standpoint, allegedly, Big Bill has even noticed because the rumors of the reunion are is coming. Oh, yeah. Did you like Enzo and Task? Where would you go to? He just said. I mean, he said Literally no. Rob literally just said that. So he's giving the He's giving AEW notes. He's quitting. And and Enzo has been backstage at NXT quite a bit. What I thought is he was No way that It's been years. It's years. And if you could draw money Ed, let's be honest. It is Pump can come back? Yeah. Anybody got that. I mean, Conan is in the hall of fame. So you're saying he could probably see his own cash on No. It's it's gonna happen. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna happen. Yeah. Quick clarification. Conan did wrestle for WWE initially as the comic kid, which was then repackaged as Max Moon. He hated the outfit after a few goes, and that's when it was given to somebody else. I was just doing some fact check. Yeah. Forbidden Door was a thing. Alex watched this ice cream. Oh, it was it was a great show, but once again, AEW. How long did that run? Think we were I I think it ran clean to 12:30. It ran like, we actually thought it was going to end sooner because the early matches were a bit shorter than normal. Then you had death's door that took, like, an hour and a half, but it was fun. And you have the the okay. The thing I told you about before, the most Looney Tunes spot ever. Okay. Three days. I I I wanna clarify. I wanted to clarify. So everybody on the conglomeration side did have backpack. Good. Darby left his at the top of the cage. He and Kevin Knight were fighting at the top of the cage. Kevin Knight goes to grab the backpack. It explodes. He falls off the top of the cage through tables that have the team DCFJF logo on them. Wow. So you have this Looney Tunes Coyote moment where there's just the explosion of sparks, and then Kevin Knight falls off the cage. Speaking of backpack, can we give a backpack shout out here? Go for it. I will say that she really talked about time of eight w, but still more being cool. Your money They're they're giving you champions, I I added up. It's like an hour and twenty Mhmm. Wrestling in a three hour show. Yeah. You know? I I Rob had real details on Part of my part of me was bummed that I didn't get to watch it. But now I'm just glad that it's Yeah. I would've gotten to bed at like two in the morning. Honestly, that was the other thing. I didn't think I was gonna make it through the show, but I forced myself. I was in bed for the last three minutes. So I have a new backpack. Oh, go for it. I purchased past weekend because the backpacks that I have are very large because they're built for things like DJ Gibbs or remotes or things of that nature. But when we got somebody like Ivan who brings all the gear so I don't have to, I wanted to get a smaller backpack because that way it just doesn't otherwise it just looks like it looks it's an awkward look to me. This is my new backpack right here, but boys Clothes blind. Clothes blind. Now you would say to yourself normally, Rob, why do you have a Netflix backpack? It's not a Netflix backpack, my friend. Don, what does it say right there? It's saying right there. What did it say? What did it say? T w Uh-huh. Y is excuse why. Gluten here. Hooked on phonics though. This is Tommy Wiseau's brand because Love is Blind is part of the room and Big Shark. Tommy is Tommy. That's right. Tommy Wiseau. We make good movie. He was in town this past weekend. I got to host q and a's with him. Had a blast. He showed both movies both nights. Big Shark now available on Blu ray. It was the first time it was available on DVD and Blu ray. Was this that was the first time he had sold it was this past month. Oh. So I now have both movies Good. On Blu ray. He signed both of them for me. As we must remind the audience, do not watch The Room alone. It gets real sad. That's one of my favorite things, though. It's like, I I always take a poll before. If I do the intro. How many people? Were seeing us Yeah. The first time. And I say, Now excluding those people, how many of you were seeing us in a theater for the first time? The number of hands was staggering. That's an alarm. I was like, y'all watch this at the house. Love it. Yeah. We'll talk more about that later. Let's go back to it. Osprey wins exclamation point. Yep. Great win. Great Hey, my hours. My world was great and they teased exactly why. We are going to get and I am predicting it at all in the end of Athena. No, I think they'll have a paper before that. What but what I'm saying is she's going to be the one to do it. Good. So that Athena can then move into the AEW site. Still counts. Enter Jay White to help Kobe Page. Well, the way they did it was it was one of those where it's like you could feel like, oh, this and I said the words, this only matters if Jay White's here. So there's no reason they would show the gun club without them because they did the gun club on the stage per Mhmm. Or excuse me, the Bang Bang game. And then Jay White was in the ring. So we're gonna get that going. But what is because you and I talked about this a little bit off air. What does this do for Gabe Kidd? Because he's kinda got a foot in two worlds right now. In this scope, it puts Gabe Kidd firmly on the dogs because it's setting up the trio's titles between the Bang Bang Gang and the dogs. But he's also representing the Death Riders. He's still a mercenary for the Death Riders. So I I think you're gonna wind up with Gate Kid being either ousted or just wholeheartedly removed because you have their token Englishman in Osprey. King Briscoe wins, which then tonight on Dynamite, you will have MJF defending the title against him. Yep. And Andre Andrade El Hilo, that finally has come to a head. It was so well done. What? It was so well done. What? Oh, here it comes. Because I saw the shirt. Okay. Fair enough. They also announced that redemption will start an hour earlier in the morning. Okay. So because they wanted do five hour. Jeez. Well, they just wanna end before it's the next game. So it will start at 07:00 eastern, and it's gonna be in in Canadian. Yep. So, not really much to talk about from an AEW. No. We're getting ready for We're getting ready for the ramp up. No. No. We're getting ready for all in. Well, but we're getting the ramp past week is what I'm talking about. Yes. Yes. Yes. Getting ready for It was more of the teasing for what's coming. And we also of Honor had night two of global war, which meant that was a total of three hours and forty minutes over two episodes. Like, love Ring of Honor. I love what I but I've said it before. I'll say it again. We have to separate Ring of Honor from AEW. It has to be its own brand. Yeah. And I the studio in Jacksonville, it's perfect for them because it gives that old school TBS feel to it. Mhmm. You're able to really Embrace it. Yeah. It's just come on, Tucker. So you don't like I'm giving you a clinic, and my clinics are free, bro. So when you have WWE and TNA do some back and forth sometimes. But that's so rare and that's NXT. That's not even Actually, let me let me also ask you this though. When's the last time you had that crossover? TNA and WWE? Yeah. When's the last time you actually had a legit crossover in a match? Now they're still sending NXT talent there periodically for TV, but you're not doing it as an angle. Okay. Yeah, that's the other big problem. Okay. Because if you're telling two different stories on two different shows, you're now you're telling hero stories. They're just randomly throwing BMW people at Ring of Honor. Yeah, just it doesn't. It's not helping. It's like we need them to win once in a while, but it's not helping the talent that needs to develop develop. That's the problem. It's Barry. It's, you know, use this as your OVW. Yeah, It makes sense. You we had a whole thirty minute segment once on how promotion and relegation would work. Yeah. Within a like half those programs are gone now. But we could still apply the law. Yeah. The logic still exists. So it just it also confuses the booking. Yeah. Like, you know, I don't wanna see those belts on each other. Mhmm. You know? If it's not their belt, don't show it. Exactly. So Granted, if you're doing it because it's something you like forbidden or because you're bringing in other companies, that's a different situation. But when you're doing it within your own, it's just a weird Venn diagram of failure. It's it's get it right, boys. Yeah. It's a holiday weekend. We want everybody to stay safe on the 200 birthday of Marka. So I will be DJing on Saturday. Nice. We're just having a barbecue cook off. We will be judging pork butt. We're also judging briskets. We are also judging smoked cheese. So Nice. And ribs. Oh, boy. I've I've already told the rest of the church. I don't know what they're gonna do. But but I'll be out there providing music. You can bring your own fireworks and everything around Penn Cowboy Church in Terrell. Also, shameless self promotion. Right in the middle of launching my brand for moderating and speaking, if you'd like to get your establishment, follow Rob Urban, the host on all of your social media. You don't mind I don't have yet to TikTok, but now I've got the I've got the email set up properly for rob dash urban dot com, but don't go there yet because it's not ready because Wix is acting weird. So that should be up within the next few days. So do me a favor, follow those for all of your needs. But you can also follow this show. There's a QR code, it's over there. What? Are we closing up? I wanted to talk a little bit about my security. Well, I mean, I'm not even Sydney, I'll be giving report. Yeah. But you gotta tell me you were ready for it because the last time I did this, you weren't ready. Okay. Because then we had dead air for five minutes. Okay. So I was able to go to the World Cup game of Japan, Sweden, which was incredible. They packed into place. It was different than a American football game in the fact that, you know, you have so many foreigners coming in and they see these stadiums and they're just like, goodness. How, you know, it's air conditioned. It's huge and everybody has a good view and everything like that. And we have ranch. Yeah. We have ranch. Wait. No. No. No. It's been clarified to me. We have good ranch. Yeah. Will say that getting in security was pretty easy considering Better than Super Bowl. That's all. Yeah. Because Don was at that Super Bowl. Yeah. Know what? He got kicked out of that Super Bowl. What? He was thinking he got kicked out. That's it. Yeah. I've been He told us the story. Yeah. Okay. So I will say the thing that they which we did was we did the Center Port Station to get on the bus and they take it from the Park Park Station to the stadium. Right. Which because our stadium does not have a stop for mastering. Yeah. And so and WrestleMania, the big difference was that I just dropped up drove up the station park, and there was only about 10 buses there, maybe 15 at most. When I got there from this World Cup thing, we're driving in and I already saw three buses already go past us. Like, boy, that's like, woah. And we get in there. It's like, it's all blocked off for all the mass crowds where we had to plug at the next station. So that was the one little bummer about it. So we had to go to the urban station, get on, get to the certain point, then get on the bus. And so they had over literally 100 buses and they used them all. I mean, that's how many people because these people come from Europe and they have There's actually a 120. Why? Because we talked about it last week. Yeah. Because that's the we had the press conference here last week with the Yeah. Handling logistics. Yeah. And they said outside of the normal, they gave a 125 charter buses on reserve so that way people aren't waiting more to leave. And so, yeah, we would it would all how they got the mass transit out and everything like that wasn't broke. But just the vibe and how the the Japanese, the the Japan side, and then Sweden side, I figured how do they get people to be in all one groups? And what they have to do is they offer, like, packages where you can get tickets for all three games for that for that team. Like, if you wanna get the Japan package, you could get it. Makes sense. All in one group. Makes sense. And they were, like, banging the drums the whole time, and Sweden has their thing going where they got the instruments going. So they didn't wanna work. They wanted to bang the drum all day. Todd Rundgren. Yeah. Shut up. But how they were con it was a constant singing. It's constant thing how these people just constantly go versus in, like, sometimes over teams losing in football or baseball. I mean, just and then it a couple people from The US tried doing the wave. It did not work because people like, what's this idea? Ban the wave. Yeah. I agree. Thousand percent. I can't swim. But just the seeing how different cultures and seeing how people from different continents, fans and how they people have to come up and ask me questions. It's like, what's that building there? What's that building? You know? And they kinda like, well, that's where the old ballpark of the rangers were. That's the new one. They go, that's the new one. That one looks nice the old one, but There's a bar. August. Yeah. I'm back in the car. Yeah. But here's one thing I I did note. On the Globe Life Field, when we're walking by in the side of the Do you mean Dallas Baseball Stadium? Dallas Baseball Stadium. This is my question. The side of the roof that faced Dallas Stadium where it had the big t Uh-huh. It was gone. Mhmm. The ranger That's not surprising. I don't know if they took that off because you saw where they might have in case the camera hits it. Yeah. That's my I mean, I mean, did they well, it's either that or they're updating it. It just happens to be coincidental time. Yeah. But We don't know yet. To go to a World Cup thing, the excitement. And then the crowds are constantly going. Every time there's a there's a close goal, they people are Oh, yeah. Winning. But just to see the world united on this and how people from around the country and their pride and how people are impressed and during different cultures. Well, it it it that's one of the things that we've been talking about consistently over the last couple of weeks is how it didn't matter what country was coming in. There was a camaraderie among fans Yep. Yeah. Among participants, among everybody. And it's one of those when you realize that people are people. And it it's funny because we have the the preview up on the big screen for The USA match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yeah. But they're literally doing videos and crossing over with us. I'm hearing my way in my head as they're doing the vignettes. I'm I'm hearing somewhere I belong, like, it's cutting a promo. This is great. It's exciting no matter what. You could tell me that it is Siam playing the Republic of Tunisia, and I'm talking about their b squad. I'm gonna be excited because every one of these matches is awesome. And the thing is how people are respectful towards the other team. Oh, yeah. And there's no points lower off than that. There are there there's a certain contingent But there's always no margin for error. I I wanna say, I definitely saw Yvonne talking smack about Ecuadorians. Wait. I'm talking about it. Try to see me fly Oh, you didn't see that train coming by? No. You know, that's they're respectful. That that was kind of one of the cool things. Yeah. It was an incredible experience just to go. Mhmm. See, I've been part of the World Cup and, you know, people from around the world are watching it. Hold on. I'm I'm gonna make it up for Yvonne right now. I want you to repeat after me. Okay. No. No. Now say it all together. Perfect. I tried. I tried. Perfect. I think that was Your brain thought that was gonna You're assuming I thought it would. Yeah. But still. I'm pretty entertained. The one thing that they're surprised on Sometimes it's an audience of one. Is how they could take a beer and watch the game live in the arena. That is true. I have heard that a lot. We could bring No. It's not allowed. Oh, I I completely lost it's not allowed in stadiums in other countries also. Yeah. People are like, we can watch what? Yeah. Yeah. So Yeah. And with $19, you could have a little bit of beer too. Well, the interesting thing is is there's a lot of stadiums in Europe that'll do that. But what it is is if you pay into, like, a premium section I see. It's considered, like, a bar. Now granted, there's a lot of different places that don't do that. But if you see the video of, like, two 12 year olds at a soccer game holding beards as big as their head, it's from that. So and I understand, Alex, that's been people from Norway were Mhmm. The row. Trying to get out of even the the stadium. That's were one guy that screwed it up. Yes. Except for Chad. I felt so bad for him. Alright. I know they're doing the rowing because they're going up some escalators. Yes. Joy. But we're actually able to get tickets at face value, which was a shifter, but just to be able to go, it's it it was a blast. So That's what I forgot to ask you, but I don't wanna ask you on air. I mean, it's I mean, I love that he got to go. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm a little jealous. I have a little bit of FOMO. Like, it was on show day. I didn't care because that's how often do you get that? And I always you know I mean? Like, it's like No. But it's like, no. Go go. No. It's like the thing I was saying to you. It's like we could always say, like, oh, you'll catch the next one. Well, mathematically speaking, you'll be dead by then. Here's my thing is that it surprised me because I thought as the game gets closer, especially day game Mhmm. People just start dropping ticket prices and say, oh, no. Uh-uh. And it's like, oh, what? Nope. There's still demand. Yeah. There will always be demand. Yeah. So it was good. We are less than an hour away from this match kicking off boys. This is about to get real. Yeah, it is. Let's go team USA. I I'm so Hey, we have to we're so good. We have to play two countries. That's right. I saw somebody explaining it as like Bosnia plays the first half, Herzegovina plays the second half, they just sub in. It's like it's it's like a brother sister school, a shamanade Madonna. For those of you in South Florida to get that reference. But I'm so glad you had a great time. He sent me some really Awesome. Great Like, fellow member of our network, Mac Engel was at the at a couple of the matches and he he actually said the words, I am I was wrong. Yeah. There is He was very animated. In the world like this. Mhmm. No. He goes, I don't care what you can pick a sport. I don't care. The vibe in this stadium is unlike anything I've ever witnessed, period. End of statement. End of list. And I don't I I I don't doubt it. I mean If the first day the first game of Mexico were Nasa Fair Park at the fan fest. Yeah. Oh my god. That thing was packed in the Well, they told people don't if you don't have a if you don't have a ticket, don't show up. That was on the very first day, and then, like, after that, they're like, no. But how packed it was and how incredible the energy was there. I'm just like, and this is just Dallas. And we and we want we want people to go check out the fan fest too because it's so much fun. I I just realized there was something about the Germany loss we didn't talk about on top of it. Yes. Absolutely. Do the fan fest at Fair Park, Dallas Park. Anyways, but did you see all of the responses to Freddie the German fan after the match? I did not. So for those that have been following along, Freddie has been one of the more popular bloggers that has been documenting his time in America for the first time following the German team. And you had Germany lose, and you had all of the people he had interacted with, like JJ Watt just replying back with, oh, no. And he met up with it. Yes. He did. When they were in Houston, but it was it was cool to see, like, and you I thought you're showing Freddie on the screen right now. Yeah. The the Japan fans, whether covering all of these people who are discovering America including as I heard one of them referred to as the boosies. Dudes posting their w's. Yes. Being European in Costco. Holland trying in Americans. What is oh, man. I love this. Well, there's something in Walmart. The point Stockyard. The point being is even when the teams are getting eliminated, you see that camaraderie still. There was a great video of a Japanese fan that had been, like, completely devastated, but they still had the fans from the other squad embracing it. Things the international mind cannot comprehend.
