The Clubhouse – Episode 24

Hello, hello, hello. Adacity is running. I'm now starting the recording.
I find a sketch we bring for ruffle, ruffle, ruffle.
So, baby, for the king, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle.
So, I'm now here for ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle.
It is eight o'clock on the east coast.
It is five o'clock on the west coast.
Wherever you are at any other time zone, look at your watch.
It'll let you know. If you're listening to this on the archive, same deal. Look at your watch.
It is Tuesday night.
It is the 21st of December in the year of our Lord 2010,
which means it is time for the clubhouse with Robin Cody.
I am Rob, as always, I am joined by Cody.
Hello.
It's the first day of winter.
Happy winter.
Happy winter solstice, too.
It is.
Yeah, first day of winter and it's shortest day of the year.
Yes.
Although I can't really tell.
Yeah.
I'm not having that Christmas feeling here locally.
We will in a couple of days.
Yeah.
I believe that.
But those of you that don't know here in Dallas,
it is very warm right now.
It's short weather.
I grew up with this.
I don't want to be around this.
I want seasons.
But this weekend is going to get really warm.
We're going to have a really nice cold Christmas day,
so I'm looking forward to that.
We welcome you to episode 24, the week of the 24th of December,
which is Christmas Eve coming up in three days.
Christmas edition.
Yeah, I'm very excited about the show.
We got a lot to get to, so let's go ahead and get to it.
As always, we start with corrections.
I did call Pricewaterhouse this weekend.
They said there was one.
Was there really?
Yes, there was.
I don't know.
You are stuck on this three division NFL thing,
where you said last week that Chicago was going to win the central division.
There is no more central division in the NFL at all.
The show was in the NFC North, but you know, it was a better world.
It was a simpler time.
It was a better world when all that was going on.
And then you know, it's Charleston, our course.
Hey, the big win.
The only team to walk into that later on,
but the only team to clinch the division.
That's true.
Well, no, there's another one.
Oh, yeah, New England.
But in the NFC, the only team to clinch the division.
But other than that, we were clean.
We hope you enjoyed last week's show.
We hope you enjoyed this week's show.
Yes.
As we get into acting one of this thing,
as we always do,
as we do, variety.
Variety.
Variety is what we...
Is that the spice of life, you know?
And the agony of defeat.
Much like you're dealing with right now in the next section of this thing.
Yes.
We always start with sports,
as we do right here on the clubhouse with Robin Cody.
And as we always start,
we start with the NFL.
Not...
Don't know if this is a shocker.
Last week, Jake Glazer on Twitter,
reporting that Eric Mangini will be out of his job
with Cleveland at the end of the season.
Do you really get rid of this guy?
I mean, it's Cleveland.
I just hope Holmgren doesn't try the whole coach manager.
General manager.
Jerry thing?
Yeah.
Well, not.
They don't well pretty much,
but Jerry wants.
I could see him doing that though,
but I thought Cleveland,
all things considered at five and nine.
You could have worse years.
You could have worse years.
That shocks me that we're...
to the point now where he's going to be fired.
I don't know.
If they do,
I want them to promote Rex Ryan's brother.
Rob Ryan.
I think that would be a great...
I still think you need to see them in the same place at the same time.
You talk about twins.
I think he's ready.
He's been Oakland a few years,
then with Cleveland for a few years.
And I want to say he was in Philly at one time with his dad or something.
I think he's ready.
I don't know if you saw there was another headline that hit
after we ran the run sheet today.
Rumors coming out of Cincinnati.
T.O. Thanks for stopping by.
But hey, no matter Hall of Famer.
Well, anybody else take him?
Or did he have to go to Oakland now?
I don't know.
I thought he was...
what's bad about that situation is he was the only bright spot on that whole team.
Well, my thing with him is...
you do fine until you start running your app.
When you go on your television show,
which is unnationally syndicated or...
or face-to-cable versus...
and start running your app...
that's what gets him in trouble.
And I don't know if he thinks it's cute...
or what his deal is.
But T.O. I mean, we always say he's out of options.
Somebody will take him.
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this.
That is a bad football team.
Yes, sir.
With or without him?
Without him, it's worse.
I'll be curious to kind of see how they...
they regroup and circle the wagons on that thing.
And...
Are Ocho Cinco's days numbered now?
They have to be.
He is one of the most overrated.
He's a marketing genius.
Oh, absolutely.
But as a football player,
he's extremely overrated, I think.
And in...
in my opinion, you know...
he doesn't show up in big games.
Every time I saw him this year,
he was dropping a pass or getting...
nailed.
Yeah.
I mean, just...
But there's nobody that's really gonna...
Yeah.
That's gonna be a team with a very different look...
between...
I think...
I think the coach is gone.
I think that's kind of run its course.
So, you know, there was...
remember, and you take you back four or five years ago...
this was a team going,
hey man, they're one guy way.
They're gonna be in the Super Bowl.
Yep.
I mean, I remember when they were on hard knocks last year.
I mean, this was a team that a lot of folks thought...
this team's one guy way.
And apparently, that one guy has not shown up yet.
Yes, we're still waiting for that.
One guy.
Defense, not good.
Carson Palmer.
I don't know if he's colorblind or what.
He just can't keep it out of the other guy's hands.
He has no trophy when winning.
Yeah.
USC.
He has no trophy when he quarterbacks.
Well, but he had been a flop.
And he's done more than Andre Ware and...
Chris Winky.
Rex Grossman.
Rex Grossman.
Yeah.
Do you win a husband?
Rex Grossman?
I thought he did now.
Maybe he was supposed to that year that took over.
That's maybe that's what I'm thinking.
Put a bullet in the program for two years.
You got these at this next thing to me in an email earlier today.
Yes.
And I'm very intrigued by this.
According to...
Chris Mortensen.
Very reliable.
Very reliable.
I follow him on Twitter.
Um, Cowards ready to get back in the game.
I think his daughter...
As you know, as we all know, one of the things he got out was family time.
Yep.
Um, he's got a list.
There are only three teams on it.
Bring it.
New York.
Miami.
He's...
Jester Giants.
Giants.
Dolphins.
Texans.
Yeah.
One of these kids is doing his own thing on that list.
Says Houston has one of the...
Houston's actually his number one preferred place.
Huh.
I guess because there's not the pressure of the New York media and there's no Jerry.
Well, also, um...
I think Houston's got a great team.
I think that they're badly coached.
Kubiak.
I think your days are numbered sooner than later.
Is he the grizzly man?
No.
So that's all right.
That's a bad joke.
Yeah, I apologize.
Um, New York.
If you...
Well, you know Coffin's done.
If they don't make the playoffs.
I think if they make the playoffs, he's safe.
There's rumors now that Miami, Spirano, and the General Manager are done.
They're fixing the house clean that deal.
Um...
I...
I wouldn't camp a guy yet.
I mean, it's not like they were one in 15 again.
But yeah, I think...
I think he's back.
He's back in the game.
But that's three of his teams.
I'm glad to hear no Carolina.
Yeah, I thought Carolina would be a bad idea.
Kubiak fans, he was a pike dream at best.
Yeah, I don't think he winds up in Dallas.
Um...
I think that he lands at one of these three spots.
Houston's stupid if they don't fire Kubiak.
I think Houston's probably the best place for him.
Yeah, but...
Did you see the post-game press conference for Eli Manning on Sunday?
There was one reporter in the room.
One in the front row.
The Yankee town.
But it's still the New York media.
Which way you look at it.
I don't care if you play Tiddly Wings on 53rd and Broadway.
It's still the New York media.
But I would...
I would scratch New York Johns off.
I would say he ends up in Miami or Houston.
I'll take him.
I'll take him for my dogs at a heartbeat.
But mine, here's my deal with Cower.
Good.
They are overrated.
The guys got rings.
He's got A-ring.
He's got A-ring.
Okay.
But he's a great motivator.
Does this NFL let him stay somewhere 10 years without winning the Super Bowl?
Is he one of 10-year deal?
No, I'm just saying.
I don't know if too many teams...
I don't know that Cower's got 10 years in me.
But I'm just saying it took him along.
It's not like he...
Pittsburgh was a three-year project.
It took him along.
How long did it give Spirato?
Isn't this his third season?
Yeah.
Cower's not going to Super Bowl in three years.
But I think if you go somewhere like Miami or Houston,
the playoffs is good enough to give you another year.
Yeah.
But you make a hire like that.
You pay a coach $10 million, which is what he's asking.
Per year for contract.
Contract.
For how long?
That's good.
I don't know.
He's 10 millions where he's going to start.
I don't know if you're going to have him hang around 10-13 years
and finally win the Super Bowl.
Can you convince him to get that contract incentive late?
Oh, I don't know.
But this is a...
Because I think if you can do that,
I think that you're at least making a decent investment at that point.
This is a...
What have you done for me lately, League?
This is a...
What have you done for me lately?
World.
Yeah.
Not just football.
And I just...
Every sport.
And I just...
My cat's these older coaches and iscos for college and pro.
Some of these guys that just think they're going to roll in here
and, and...
They'll give me three years to...
They're not going to give you three years to build it.
It is...
Win now.
So I've always been a critic of his.
I like the guy...
I've never been sold on him.
Pittsburgh's mascot's modeled after him.
Yeah.
I've just never been a fan.
I've never been really sold on him.
I like him.
So I'll take him on my team effort.
He's better than come to Miami. Yeah, there's only about five or six good coaches in a fell anyway
Yeah, so but yeah, he's he's he's enough great for anybody else, but I just I don't know if Bill Cower equals
A ring
And I think people who want him there need to kind of get that out of his head the out of their head
Well, I think that in sports and we just talked about this
I think we need to get back to that we and we talked about this a lot last week. Yeah patience
You've got to have patience in this league anymore. Yes
As we go down the season that we've done. It's almost over. We were pulling into the final. Did you believe it?
I ask you pose you these two questions first. I'm talking teams. Okay biggest disappointment biggest surprise
biggest disappointment for me is gonna be my dark horse team
Yeah, I picked Seattle
With my heart of heart said this team's gonna go this team's gonna make it happen and
They have done nothing but stink up the joint and can still almost
They're trying to win the division. Yeah
As far as biggest the surprise
We're gonna go to another dark horse team and I'm gonna go to miss these dark horse team with Kansas City lighten the world on fire
Yeah, I don't know what's caused that. I mean you pretty much got new England central planes going on there
You know former, you know they
You pretty much got a situation there with a lot of former
Kansas I mean a new England coordinators there defensive and offensive and then the GM was it new England for a short time so you've got
You've got something building there that I think can be really good
Well, you've got a quarterback that's playing out
For him I'm glad that he's doing something and not just this isn't another
Situation where all he's washed up, but yeah, Kansas City's one for me my biggest disappointment. I know there's obvious ones
Dallas am I see I was leaving out of the equation because that's everybody to me a big disappointment to me has been the San Francisco 49ers
see and I
For you maybe but for me
I just kind of I'm at the point where I think this out
I think a lot of people in nationally not just me, you know, you know people. I don't they were picked in our dark worst contest
I really thought single Terry had them going in the right direction at the seasons and last year
I'm curious if that seat's not getting hot already. It's got to be and they were big this
Big disappointment to me because they ought to be dominating the weakest division in the National Football League in my opinion
That's like a Tosha with Seattle still competitive. Yeah, you know, um, and you've got St. Louis at six and eight. They all have top-breakers right now
We see I'm also and you and I've talked about this
I don't know if we've talked about this on air, but I am of the firm opinion if you do not if you are not
500 or better you don't get into the play-out that's something that they're talking about with the competition committee next year is
Maybe trying to rework this deal. I think the division winner still makes the playoffs
They just don't need to host a play-off game my opinion. I had them on the road. Well, I can't I can't
Let's say St. Louis wins that division. They're host to the play-off game
Yeah, but I but again we're we're
Rewarding mediocrity that's true that's true and we're kind of walking walking the dog here my biggest surprise to me is Phil Delphia
You know what I won't debate that because but here's my thing
Is it film a Delphia or is it Michael Fick because you know, they're playing well defensively?
um
I don't see where they're if I had to just
Close my eyes and go they are in a suitable because other than Atlanta
They're the only team the NFC that that should scare people if you're a wild card or you're a team that barely gets in
my opinion
Vic Vic's had a good year. He's a surprise. I'll be honest with you if I had MVP vote today, and it was Brady or
Vic I'm going Vic. I I would tell you the same thing. I don't have the guys
Yeah, you're talking MVP and you're going strictly on the field work that guys numbers are up there
He's he's torching every but Phil Delphia was in a situation where they told their fans pretty much new and ownership new and coaching staff
This is a rebuilding here the Kevin Cobb era and Phil Delphia was going to start and
Michael Vic comes in there and he's just
Looks amazing if if you hadn't checked out the last the last three minutes of that game Sunday between them and the Giants
Did you and I sit down that whole fourth quarter? I mean, I was just what in the world's good. Yeah, he took over him and
His wide receivers took over that game more you do Jeremy Maclin
Probably more than the Sean Jackson, but Jeremy Maclin really had a good game
But yeah, I just want to see biggest disappointments biggest surprises. I didn't think Kansas City
I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on. This is a parody is driving this league right now
Speaking of dark horses records. Let's get on the boat. I'm ready to get on the boat
Yeah, we started Thursday Thursday night
I don't feel like so long. Yeah, at the Murph
That's big Murphy speaking of those 40 Niners
Man San Diego went out there and just
Kick them in the mouth and but isn't this one see ends with San
I can't talk tonight and isn't this what San Diego does in the year?
I mean they beat them down as San Diego does defeat San Francisco 34 to 7 rivers 19 for 25
273 three touchdowns
San Francisco look lifeless
Have they have they given up
They in that division I wouldn't
But they're one in six on the road
Sounds like the opposite of my dolphin. Yeah, the battle for Ohio is Cleveland took on Cincinnati
Since that he wins 1917
Palmer 14 for 23 to 9 no TDs
It's sad that when you have the game mix and you and I are watching football together that game was even on the radar
It was even on the radar
Of course the big headline now this story is Terrell Owen season is over. We covered that earlier
Cleveland man, I just they've shown so much improvement. I'll be curious. You know glacier. He got to watch him
He gets kind of waffly. I don't know
I'm L.A. Yeah, he's the one that brought out that footage this week of another sideline incident. Yes
In this town had a wild one a cowboy stadium is cowboys do up in the Redskins 33 to 30 and this was one of the three
Winnable games ideas and the only one they have left is Saturday as Washington score 16 fourth quarter points
16 they did get to two two-point conversions a wild game Rex Grossman 25 for 43
Welcome to the league Rex 322 yards four touchdowns
The cowboys today of course Tony rumble I are out for the year thought it was dumb to play him any way the rest of the year
Yeah, but they win. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing
Well, let me ask you this did they win that game or did Washington?
Yeah, Rex throwing two picks in a fumble
I mean those three turnovers probably cost them that game and statistically this defense your cowboy defense
2010 is worse than the 1989
15 defense went one and 15 Wow
Houston my dark horse has completely melted down and melding as they get beat by the lowly Titans 31 17 as the new old
Oilers beat the new oilers, but I thought it would be a better game than it really turned out to be yeah
If you watch the world by the leader you found out Vince Young still not in not in the good graces of Jeff
Fisher, but he shows up to the game late and leaves in the fourth quarter
Done which one of these two was gone or are they both gone?
Cuz Fisher you got to think ownership up there. It's got to start going, you know dude seriously. Yeah, he's a kid hang on the music
He's another cow or guy. I think he's a great coach. I just
It takes him a while. I think he's out at one is welcome
I think he might need to change a scene here as well
That might be good for him and one of the big games on your slate Sunday was Jacksonville visiting anyapolis
I've got out of here Jacksonville wins. They clinched the division
Houston Indianapolis wins 3424 a lot of weird things this game had an on-side kick return for a touchdown
Paite Manning 29 for 39 to 29 and two TDs. Is there an update on Austin Colley?
He took a huge hit as far as nothing's come out at all
He did not return to that ballgame
Peyton Manning needs him to make this team successful. I think ten and six and in the playoffs for Indy
That that's a good year for this year. Oh, and this is something that you and I talked about all season long
If Indy and New England don't have that mystique about this year where and if you watch that postseason
Interview that Peyton gave with CBS. He wasn't paid now
He was visibly disturbed about this whole situation, and that's not like him
Kansas City and the battle for Missouri. Hey now
Pete St. Louis 27 13
I think the Rams are starting to show their age as a season wears on
Bradford pedestrian 21 for 43 181 the guys got to have weapons is Bradford watching Rookie of the Year slip away from him a little bit more every week now
No, because he's not looking stupid
Now he was meant to I mean he's not making a lot of mistakes as having a wet. Well, I'm talking about compared to a guy up in Oh, right on defense
Well, he'll win. Well, that's gonna be two separate things offensive and defensive. Okay. Yeah, no
I think offensive Rookie the year he's pretty safe unless somebody lights it up
But I don't see it happening in two weeks. I thought there was one
I'm thinking of doing yeah
Basketball, maybe a little upset as we watched the ending of this game together
The Miami doffins were eliminated from playoff
Attention, please as they lose the buffalo, but again, we can't win it. Yeah
17 14 is their kicker goes O for four, but in his own defense
They were all all every one of those kicks were 45 yards or one of them was 61 yards. Yes
Surprising Miami was one of my teams surprised. I really thought they were gonna compete maybe a wild card
I didn't win at all, but compete Andy wild one Sunday
We spoke about earlier as Phil Delphia defeats New York football Giants 38 31 that was about a 15-minute time frame where
It was as as a comedian once said we had the attention span of a new
Yeah, because we were going to so many different games and this was going on in this then gone for game mix
Yes, because if we have that you you might more or not your remote people in Philadelphia are calling this the miracle at the
Metallands part two of course that's how harm Edwards
Giant quarterback trying to take a knee runs into his running back fumbles the ball harm Edwards takes it back 40 yards for a touchdown
Be full Brady ball update southernness up 14 to nothing over Louisville early
Yeah, we're not even five minutes in in this game. Go Eagles
Speaking of Eagles a Michael Vick 2035 242 3 TDs also rushed with 10 carries a hundred and thirty yards
He took this ball game over yeah, we every time we look up. There's up. There's other Michael Vick highlight
It was insane of course the game does it on to Sean Jackson's six-yard punt return
Whatever don't kick to the guy. How about that? Yeah, blah. I'll say that coach leaned into that kicker in me in a game
In a game that kind of was bad, but it was a win
It was a win you needed to treat beats Tampa 23 20 over time. Yeah, the big for a standout of this is mr. Blunt
Like Eric Blunt. Yeah, welcome to the league 15 carries 110
1 TD undrafted free agent if he doesn't hit a guy one night in
Boise
He is a first round pick Tampa. You said something to be during this game
Were you said that
They might have stolen him in that draft. Yeah, they did he was an undrafted guy because they thought he was a character guy
So and in a game that really I don't even think we turned on one time Jimmy Klauson gets his first win as a pro is Carolina up ends a
Horrible Arizona team 19 to 12 and another big game on your slate is
Baltimore and New Orleans a
Game that had a little bit of everything going on in it had some defensive plays had some offensive plays
Baltimore does win 30 to 24 right rice rushes for
153 yards on 31 carries
Yeah
Got to share that run defense norm a little bit a little bit another game that we thought I picked Seattle to probably win this when I
Thought Atlanta had at least one more loss in them, but when they go to Seattle and really just kind of show out
34 18 Seattle's always been a tough place to play because of the crowd the way the stadiums build this outside
Like I said Atlanta wins 34 18 Ryan 20 for 35 174 3 TDs
We just are calling him the prototype. Yes, he is. Yeah, then we go
To the home of the Oakland
Right a boy it got a little muddy. Yeah, I know what California one of the more entertaining
Games of course when Oakland's at home in the rain. I hear John LaCinda saying the autumn wind is a writer in the background hold on hold on hold on hold on
ready
say it again
The autumn wind is right
There you go as only one way to do you open wins this game 39 23 7 and 7 still in the hunt
The big story out of this is Tim Tebow. Yes NFL haters Tim Tebow
Makes his NFL debut 18 for 16 138 one touchdown that was a great throw great catch corner
If you didn't see it and then of course eight carry 78 yards one TD
I don't know if anybody wants Tim Tebow gets to that second level in the safe in the safety of corners nobody
Tackling if you he was you know, I have my T. Bo Jersey on Sunday at your house. Yes, he was I was so glad to see him do well
Did well, you know, and I want to see him and they're gonna start him again this week. Yes, they announced that today
You know in another big I mean we're getting the big games now
The Jets do beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. I thought that was kind of an upset. I
thought New York mailed it in
As they do win 22 17 not a lot of gaudy stats in this Rossis burger went for 264 and a touchdown, but pretty much it
Game that was a little too close for comfort if you're a patriot front fan, but it had a great play in it
Yeah, I had the line men running back to the squib kick before the half
Not only did he run it though if you he actually made a couple a couple of cuts
Hey, right ball security if you if you you hadn't seen this look it up
Former LSU quarterback Matt Flynn goes 24 for 37
251 and three touchdowns. I thought the kid look good now Cleveland will give him a five-year contract about 50 million dollars
Isn't that what they do with pretty much a bad good game for a guy that hadn't thrown a ball since a bowl game at LSU
I thought he looked okay
I don't know if it was a off-night for New England. I don't know what was going on
You know what I'm sorry that just I love it when people are in her chat room and they kind of get us off course a little bit
Yeah, I don't like you stole a hat that was
It just to tell me right now if you give Brady Tom Brady and Ent he will take a mile every time yeah right now
It seems like looks on over there, man
I think they win it all in that that's just my opinion. I hope not but which I really don't care
As long as I don't just don't want to see too Philadelphia can't win it in our stadium green Bay can't
It was like washing my biggest nightmare right now. It's his Super Bowl being Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
That's right that ever happened keystone Super Bowl and then last night
Little history I guess Minnesota the Bears really showed out if you do you watch any of this I watched a little bit of it
I was flipping between this role in heat Mavericks
um
As the Bears win 40 to 14 cutler 14 for 24 1 94 3 TDs last night
He finally played and I thought this season he's played like a franchise quarterback
Maybe that change of scenery is what he needed, you know
And they're not you know everybody with Mike Mark's type offense
They want to see the greatest show on turf. We saw from St. Louis for so long
They're not doing that. I think it's with four to different league got four to a pound in the ball in him making plays with a
receiver core of Johnny Knox
Isn't he in jackass?
It's Knoxville. Oh, I'm sorry, but the big deal about this game was of course it was in Minnesota
It was outdoors. It was cold first outdoor game in
Minnesota did you see bud Adams they had him on the shoulders?
Hat short sleeve shirts then Gene feel like that's a man's man right
First outdoor football game in Minnesota since 1981 where they lost to the chiefs 10 to 6 at the old metropolitan stadium
Which is now home of all the Americas. Of course. I saw six or seven sannas
Santa's got a stop by Santa's got to watch the little Monday night football and then of course they got the shirtless guys
There was a bunch of the shirtless guys
Well, and here's my thing with that
Normally you would say well they might have been hammered no alcohol sales at the college
College stadium. Ah, you don't tell me some plastic hit flask
There's some pops up in the stand. I promise you there was some pops up in the stands
But uh, and the the owner of the Viking says you know what I
Think we want to I think we want to want to do this from now on
I think he's gonna go to the city and try to get an open air stadium again part of home field advantage
Yeah, they say fans eat winter laud lose because their seasons over Minnesota is or what they are and Minnesota is gonna
Draw those fans because to them that shorts weather anyway. Yeah, so I
Think it happens Minnesota's got to get a new stadium are they're gone LA wants them something fierce LA wants a team
Minnesota is one of the originals. I'd be shocked if they ever left Minnesota. I don't think minutes
I've said it before I don't think they leave I think if LA gets a team
It's gonna be Jackson though, but that's I thought that was pretty cool
They kept showing some old highlights of you know the great gym Marshall. He's running the wrong way
Some of those highlights last night, but
Week 16 we have two weeks left in the regular season and that's
We are this is why I love football because literally every game counts
We literally you know, and this is one of the things that I thought was weird was this thing is moved on on the college level
And the pro level
In my opinion, I mean look we're we're watching bowl games. It seemed like yesterday. We were doing the the preview show
My opinion. Yeah, it's going fast fast and furious
But one thing about real back at Minnesota game real quick. You know that state, which is so weird universe of Minnesota
Of course Golden Go for its new stadium open this year
There was no
They didn't winterize that stadium. There was no on field heaters
Well, you know that the that the Minnesota Vikings were actually asking fans to come down and help them shovel the snow
Yeah, of course Brett farm. I know I'm not gonna just got Brett farm was knocked out
I think the the surface had something to do with that because there were players saying that it was frozen style of that turf
was frozen
But let's set the dinner plate for Christmas
Weekend NFL action with starts Thursday night. Oh
Doesn't really doesn't really start Thursday night. Carol Anna takes on Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh going in for their second by week of the season. What's the line Pittsburgh by about 50?
Pittsburgh by 15 is it really that we've opened up with Vegas says
You know what Christmas days no better
Meaningless football as Dallas takes on Arizona
The last winnable game because then they got to go to Philly. That's gonna get ugly
Dallas by seven
But you know what I have enjoyed watching the Cowboys the last few weeks and stay far away to Phillips
They're a very entertaining now. They are a cardiac much. Mm-hmm, but they're a very fun football team to watch
In another one that hey, we might be able to just say we got you as
New England travels to Buffalo to take on the bills new England by nine in a game that is
Very big for both these teams now as we told you earlier the bears did clinch the NFC North
last night and
The jets at ten and four trying to stay alive and just get in as
They do travel to soldier field and take on Chicago the line Chicago by one probably a pick on by the end of the week
Yeah, the old brown to the new browns
Get it going on in Cleveland as the Ravens travel to Cleveland
That's gonna be ugly too. That's another team Baltimore needs to win as many games as they can
But the Pittsburgh loss helps them Baltimore by four
In a game that I'm gonna go
On Kansas City as Tennessee travels the Kansas City. I think it's a game that Kansas City will blink
If I had an upset special anymore, it would be Tennessee
KC by five I disagree. I think I think right now Tennessee's in their in disarray. Yeah, that whole organization Vince Young has just crumbled that organization
One Eastern on Fox at San Francisco and if big NFC West match up. Hey now as a 49ers battle the Rams
I can remember when I can remember when Joe Montana versus Jim Everett the L.A. Rams with a Monday night football game
This is horrible one thing. I will say hats off Sam Bradford did go over to three thousand yard mark this season
Third rookie to do it congratulations to that kid. Yeah, I was worried about him going into this
Yeah, Sam Bradford over three thousand yards this season
Manning and Matt Ryan the only other two rookies to do that
St. Louis by two Detroit Miami. Oh, this this is a fun battle for the seller had a phone with that
My any come on Dolphins man. Maybe by four if you want to know I think we can win that game
Washington in Jacksonville
Jack this might be a game where Jacksonville let's Indy beat them twice
Would they get in their head
Cosmone other game
You think maybe maybe I'm just saying that
No, I don't know San Diego going to Cincinnati where that is all that done in Cincinnati
San Diego though colder weather with San Diego in December. Yes, but it's different part of the world here
Tim Tebow making his second straight start first home start for Tim Tebow as the Houston Texans go to Denver to battle
The Denver Broncos Houston right now
3. Favorite so Denver a three point dog a game with huge AFC wild card and or division game
Playoffs as eatingapolis Colts battle to the home of the
Oakland Raiders
At 305 Eastern on CBS so funny. He just said a game where if if Indy beats look if Oakland beats the Colts San Diego wins
If no here it was it if Tennessee. Okay, here's if Tennessee beats Kansas City
Oakland beats Indy a train
Chicago. Yeah, 60 miles from San Diego wins San Diego Clint so Clint is a playoff spot
See this is the time of year. Yeah, where mathematics become involved and it gets very confused exactly
Um, I like Oakland in this game just because I kind of like Oakland
Indy yeah, Indy by three. Um, I don't know man. Indy's been so jackal hide this year
It's tough to and it's not like we said a couple weeks ago. Well, Peyton's not gonna have just that game
And I'm gonna tell you what if McFadden gets going he'll rush for 10,000 yards on that Colts defense if that cat gets going him and that other kid
We watched on Sunday. Yeah, that that wow for it was that his name. Yes, good. It's got some speed
I'm glad to hear that that razor back working out there in a game that's probably wild car elimination the giant's traveled a green
Bay to take on the Packers aren't just got something here Aaron Rogers has been cleared to play by the league
He will be there at Lambo field even line
Dark horse versus your home team is Seattle travels to Tampa
Tampa needs to win out to even be shot at the playoffs and then
Sunday night game Minnesota travels to Philadelphia
It's all about Philly trying to get that home game and then finally
We get to see the Atlanta Falcons in prime time as New Orleans Atlanta a
Game to where really it's all about Atlanta now clinching home field advantage. They've already clinched the I did speak earlier
They weren't the only team to clinch the division Chicago was not Atlanta has already clinched the NFC South
But it's good to see Atlanta getting some some prime time. Yeah, they deserve it and I want to promise you
The boys in the booth
We'll be a lot warmer this Monday. Yeah, they were this last Monday. They didn't
Open and that's an open air press box. Yeah, yeah, I grew and working the working the camel hair
Scarf pretty cool. So and that is in NFL Island week 16 one more
Dinner is our dinner plate dinner plate. I'm sorry. That's it. So we're ready to go to the other side of this coin
Yeah, something always comes out about this this sport, you know, it
You think that you got to take care of and then you don't
Yeah, I don't know if this next this first thing we're gonna kick off with here
It's a story it's a story, but I don't know if it's surprised if anybody's just gonna what we always go from here to college football
That is what we are referring to
First headline of the day
I want to start off real quick happy birthday Joe paterno 84. That's right. They talked about that on the world
He's almost as old as Michigan stadium
Also the birthday just on a little subject Sam Jackson 60 today 62
And let that sink is don't cold Steve Austin. Oh, today's Austin's birthday. Yeah, did not know that
Your coach at Maryland about time. Yeah
I want to see been there about time. There's a lot of man you talk about swirling as Ralph Regents his
That's what it seems. Yeah, his 10-year reign at Maryland
He was also a player there. So he's been the university has come to an end. There were rumors about this
I'm all weekend. I posted it Friday night
Yeah, you did because we talked about it on Sunday this this thing got real got some wheels under it very very fast
Mike Leach
Somebody finally called it. No, what's the name Kevin Plank mean to you?
Mike Leach takes these a pirate disguise last name is plank. No, Kevin
Kevin Plank is a former special teams player who invented a little brand known as under armor
Ah, this is the guy that and the the guy that does that we must protect his house was his roommate that college that's right
Well, he's now then both of them gentlemen now sit on the Louisville board of alumni regents and
It's Mike Leach or nobody from what I've heard. It's good to my from somebody's calling Mike Leach because he's a good coach
I don't think he's as thermonuclear as everybody seems to think he is
I'm glad to see the guy getting his iteration. He has a radio show on XM satellite radio that I listen to quite a bit
And he was claiming to offer him an office of coordinator job with a slap in a face
He was contacted by three schools all which play in the big 12 two of which were orange one wears red and they play each other in the cotton bowl
So figure that out
Erie to three
Pi he was he was contacted by Texas Oklahoma and Oklahoma state supposedly for a offensive coordinator vacancy
Don't know if that's true or not, but um can he win there?
No, I don't I don't see how you can Maryland's a basketball state
You're getting into basketball region, but I'm gonna tell you the ACC got better with Jim Bo Fisher
Al golden at Miami and now if if Leach takes this Maryland job sold on Al golden
Ask me next November. Yes. Oh you mean, but he's still a he's but he's got a he's got a track record
I mean the dude's got skins on the wall, but again for to jump from temple to the University of Miami
That's a big job sir big job. I'm glad to see him getting back
I think Maryland's too far away from his demographic although he was it can tuck you for a short time
rumored offensive coordinator for him. I'm fixing to blow your wheels off all right
I'm sitting down guess who he is rumored to have already said if I get this job you're my quarterback coach off the coordinator
Sean Salisbury
Had I would he leave the world wide leader
Sean Salisbury. Oh, I'm sorry. I think I had somebody I had um
I had somebody completely different in my mouth. Sean Salisbury. He's a local guy. Yeah, Sean Salisbury is hanging out in between
He's down the road right now. Yeah, he's filling in on his I had a curve street in my head for some reason
But yeah, that's the rumor of good for Maryland good for Mike Leach gets his name back in the system
This has three years max before he's in a bigger program my opinion and that's just my opinion
Um Nick Saban sent out a warning
To yes, he did two underclassmen, which I totally agree with
It specifically his juniors. Yes juniors. Uh-huh. Um, I agree with it. Uh stand school with this labor
Breakdown, which it will cancel all minicamps training camp rookie symposiums that sort of thing and I stand firm on the fact that this will happen
Yes, and I think there's enough college coaches saying stuff that I believe the NFL will not have a season or at least a shortened
season, but they still say they're gonna have a draft. Yes
I think
There's even this I'll tell you what and I'm not going to get local yoke or or home run yet
But today was the first press conference that a lot of these BCS bull people are doing
Um headlines coming out of the OU festival
Press conference what stoop said he is warned all players if you go out this year is a junior you're leaving 10 to 15 million on the table
And he goes I don't know if I have a professional football player on this football team right now
Wow
So there's some guys that need some improvement there. Um, but I like Sabin and coming from Sabin
I don't like the guy. I think he's a snake
but um
Hey, he knows the game
And you what they say don't hate the player hate the game. So guys got rings. He's got rings
He's one of he's one everywhere. He's went um, uh, no in college in college excuse me
Yeah, he did coach your team for that's not talking about that. I was in Jamaica when that broke
You weren't Jamaican during that bowl game too. I remember specifically um
But yeah guys if you're listening stay uh
Stay in school. Don't be a full stay in school. Is that your PSA for the yes very nicely done sir the more you know
Um, and um
Rumors more trouble for the big 12 with all these rooms. Yeah, these conference rumors will not go away
But you've got another one trying to get out of another one of Kansas
Where do they think they want to go? Kansas, which I see my uh
esteemed brother-in-law's in the room. Kansas is very Kansas. A very
Uh, that's where our lives families are. Okay, so they have some j-hawk and wildcat backers in their family
K state says we want to go to the Big East
And K state Missouri says they will go with us
Now I don't know if this is a this is a Texas Oklahoma situation where the zoo is going
Hey, wait, wait, wait, I don't know if this is the billi-goat's gruff-tot bit or what's going on? But um
Bill self has confirmed the rumor that he has already been in conversations with the chancellor in the AD
For Kansas Kansas state and Missouri
All three of them to the big east to go to the big east that'll help them at a basketball center. Yes
Um, I don't that'll put them in more companies with all this guy confirmed. I'm not trying to
Fire gun off here anybody. Let Texas go independent
Because they're gonna have to do as long as gummed up the works with this conference stuff let Texas schedule an in
Schedule you sign your contracts like Notre Dame has with Michigan and
USC for years do that and everybody else just go do your own thing now
Do you think that they're gonna have to have their own network too if they go into because Notre Dame's got the
NBC contract. Yeah, absolutely. You'll have to have somebody maybe Fox branch on the spot. It's gonna be Fox Sports Texas
Yeah, something like that which is whatever they do make a lot of money down there
They can write big checks whatever we all know that
but
Where do these other cats fall? I think you I think tech had and I'll just I have some scenarios
I think tech takes a step backwards. I think they have to go down to a mountain west or a whack to get their wheels right back to Southwest conference
Because now you've got enough teams left
Man, that's a stretch. I think OU and A&M bolt for the SEC
We welcome you sir. Yes, um, and that's something that will take both of those teams a few minutes for adjusting
Maybe not Oklahoma because they recruit so well in southeastern conference states already
A&M would be Vanderbilt for about the first three years
So they got the wheels back on I think they'd be more than Vanderbilt. They might be
More Tennessee is right there, but this thing had doom written all of it from the get-go this big just big now big 10 big 12
Whatever they're calling it now
It makes me sad
Because it it was all money yep
It was all money. That's all it isn't there was a team greedy wanted more money
You had other teams wanting more money and it became just a mess became a mess Nebraska Colorado doesn't bother me
But the big 12 north kind of all of a sudden breaking up which nothing's happened yet
So I'm not gonna say everybody's leaving nothing's happened yet. No contracts have been signed
But can't this is uh the j-hawks chirping. What have you been saying for four months sir where there's smoke there's fire
Yep, there's fire on these deals
Oklahoma I told a guy together. I had a customer up in Oklahoma city. I told him
Oklahoma will never go independent the state's not big enough
They'll have to be in a conference
But again you want to come to the SEC we welcome you because I think Oklahoma could be great for the conference. Yes, A&M
We'll take you. Yeah, but then Oklahoma kind of like Texas has a little brother. They have to
Feed Oklahoma state. Where's that put them?
This the thing the big trail's been too muddy too long for me. It's just been too much. Good Oklahoma state take a step back
Like you're talking a tech because they don't know how but Oklahoma state recruits so much better than tech
But where would you put them? I don't know man
I would like here's what I'd like to see Texas going to pin it because I think they can do it
I think it would be kind of now and another thing I think's fueling that is you know
They've signed the contract. We talked about this on a show way over in the year
They start a contract with Notre Dame next season Texas plays a home and home with Notre Dame starting in 2012
Two independence could be by that time could be two independence
I really think this has one year in it two max and then people are bailing
We're losing conferences left. Yeah, yeah, I think you'll also I'd like to see
If you could convince it
I'd like to see Oklahoma. I know as you go to the big 10
I think that'd be neat. Would you be a leader or would you be a legend because I don't know
Yeah, big 12. Yeah, you're right big 12 needs Texas, but let me tell you
The Texas is what is a situation they're in now
Yeah, but I think with the big 12 I think if they look at the clock on the wall. It's ticking
It's ticking. They've got to do something. I don't know why they're so afraid to at this point get SMU in there
And bring in Houston why not quit being worried about money and let's just play football this kind of stuff is killing
The college game. It's killing the college because they don't make enough apparently. Yeah, it's just it's more money more money more money more money more money
Um, I don't I'm gonna refer to the big 12 anymore, but Kansas and K state and Missouri if they leave
You're looking at a situation now you're down to what 16? Yeah, we can't do around rama 16
You can just get all done in one day. Yes
So bowl contest
If you were tuned into the show two weeks ago, we did our bowl projections
We have three games
Completed we'll start at at a new eastern or I'm sorry two o'clock eastern on saturday in the new mexico bowl
I had b-y-u Cody had you tip b-y-u wouldn't be that got nasty
That makes it one nothing meek
We go to five thirty eastern in the humanitarian bowl
We both had northern Illinois over Fresno state
That happened, okay, so that makes it two one
And your night game in the new row one's bowl Cody had the university of Ohio. I had Troy Troy wins fairly nicely
It is now three to one as we go into tonight's game that we currently have on the studio
The b-foe Brady's bowl very strange the winner of that and that's in the race stadium. I know as
Cody's taking Lewisville. I have Southern Lewis. I took the farmers. Yes, you took Lewisville. No, that's the Louisville
Right now it is one minute left in the first quarter southern misses up 14 to come on Charlie strong, so I'm
Feeling good right now. Yes, feeling good. We'll keep you updated as we go along
Wow, we got out of college football talk right now. I'm not used to taking this little bit of time. Yeah
If we keep saying we're not going to have any more headlines. We're not going to have any more headlines
Well, this is the last one. This is it. I'm done with this for the for I mean, I hate it and it's I'm gonna I got some
Let me get some stuff on this next point is we are
Heading into baseball talk. I know it's December
Winter meetings are over at least we thought they were yeah
Um, this shocked me
That we're gonna we'll let Ole Miss right out because you know they're not gonna hear much of the Rebels
He used to not you know, he's a he's a guy that was rumoring around a lot of jobs, and I guess he's just gonna stay there and
Was that Blacksburg? What's their Oxford something like that Oxford Mississippi
But I will tell you this these but these bowl games um
So there's a lot of them left. There's a lot of them left some of these have just gotten nuts
You see you said that that's an act they have to have the race games
So the b-fold break the winter gets a thing of chicken wings. I think so. I think so and uh
The wing coupon maybe some beer. Yeah, maybe. Oh, no, because those are college kids get through that. Can't do that
I didn't realize that stadium you could see through the roof until they showed an overhead shot
Oh, wait no, no, no, no, no, no, this is the one I want
Oh, I think oh, I
Let's pause for some station identification because I cute up the wrong song. Well, let's as you know, so um
base bag zack rinky
As we all know
A guy that that I had here you had here. Yep. I think everybody baseball had here man. He is now a Milwaukee Brewer
That happened over the weekend by the league. Yeah, it's very strange
Honestly, I think the guys are nut you think
Um anxiety you ain't going to play in New York anxiety, but I promise you that um
I've got concerns
genuine concerns for a team that
Made an appearance in the world series last year
I don't see where I just don't see it. I don't know why the Rangers have not pulled the trigger
On this why they didn't pull the trigger on this guy
Oh, now they're talking to somebody else a Brandon Webb. Yeah, he's talking to everybody
um
I thought this was a done deal supposedly the brewers came out and said the Rangers made them an offer that was insulting
For you always what what one of their handlers said
Uh, I believe the trade also shot zack rinky as well
I
Guess CJ Wilson's going to be your opening day starter. I guess against the boss. That's what we're going with also rumors that uh
There's going to be some switch swapping around in the bull pin
Uh, the closer is now going to be your forced starter
Oh
Yeah, I don't know how that's going to go
I don't trust Frankie Francisco close in my games. No
Why would you do that? Isn't he liable to throw a chair at somebody and something man
He's a nut. No, that was coke. That was coke. That was uh, that was that
I thought that was Frankie Francisco. They had another nut that there was a chair. I probably might have been
But Texas to me man and I'm kind of sitting here in parking for a second
I really thought it's time. It's time. It's time. We're going to spend so much money and all of a sudden
That things hit a wall did hear an in-local interview with Greenberg yesterday
um
Is it not Brandon Webb?
Is this way my right Brandon Webb? I thought it was. Let me double check on that
Error zone up former Say Young winner for the Diamondbacks. So not a bad move not a bad move
Not a bad move for them
But the thing that concerns me is bringing Felicia in as as a starter
Yeah, that he is so locked when it comes down to getting those three out to the ninth inning. Don't jack with that
That's like all of a sudden. Hey, uh, we didn't get Cliff Lee. So I'm around Rivera. You're a starter
He said whoa. Hey, hey, uh
Uh, Brandon Webb right-handed pitcher. Error zone, right?
The interest is sincerely mutual on Webb's part. This is as of five hours. Okay. Okay. Go
um
former Say Young winner. I know he's had a rough time since then
I think he struggled last year in Arizona
um
I don't know the Yankees the Rangers to me and a Heim gets better just by getting healthy. Yes
To me, man, Boston looks like the big winner in the ale right now as far as free agency if they can keep that that healthy keep that thing going
Oh, well, you know, the Yankees have a you have an owner that's
repelling down buildings. Yeah, some reason the GMs are or wasn't that wasn't that first cashman?
Yes, it's a charity, but it was it wasn't for charity or something
But yeah, I was hoping to see a little bit more movement from from some teams in Texas as well as a man and
Supposedly Vladimir Guerrero that hold up there with the DH
Is a situation he wants two years the Rangers offering one
One year. Why does anybody want more one? I
It's all in their words all about that cushion. It's all about security, but there means we're here. Yeah, but Vlad wanting that that one year
um, and I think a lot of teams are are complacent with going into the situation just by you know what we're gonna
See how the season goes and we're gonna make a move at the trade deadline
Just like the Rangers did with Cliff Lee last year just like you saw some teams doing that Atlanta
Atlanta made a move last you know and then propelled them to the playoffs
So I think this might be everybody's going you know what we're gonna take our chips and see what everybody's doing
We're gonna show our hand come the trade deadline. What I think is gonna happen there
In other news
Basketball was playing the heat lost their 12 game win streak last night. Yeah, Maverick. Maverick. That was uh, hey classic game great game

You're going to get one eight and another thing um
Novitsky we talked about this the other night and I think it shot to both of us
As Dirk Navitsky is getting real close to Larry birds all-time point record
Yep, um Larry birds on the top 50 greatest players ever an NBA history if the if the list is expanded to 75 is Dirk on your list. No
Man, it's hard not to put him in the conversation. I'd have him at a you know if you gave me a hundred I might
I'll give you a hundred I'd put it all time. I'm not talking the 90s. I know. I know. That's what I'm saying if you give me a hundred
Yeah, in the in the 90s and odds I might give you 75 but all time you're gonna have to give me a hundred. Yeah
Huh

We always got together with my grandparents and Tampa my all the cousins and everything we get together
One thing we did because my cousins all had other Christmases to go to
So we would get together on Christmas Eve and we would open the presents from everybody else Christmas Eve
But you did your immediate family Christmas morning. Yeah, so that way everybody could see you open the gifts and whatnot
You know was always
And even since even as recently as my mid-twenties
I would go to my grandparents house and all the grandkids who were all grown people now
We're still at a card table in the patio and you go to sleep with the Bafuti pajamas not yet
Oh, but you know
We were wondering if we would get the bowls with the face in the bottom of them still we weren't sure
But or the plaster the spork a the greatness of the spork, sir
We got actually silverware and stuff, but it was always everybody got together
You had the big dinner the grandkids were always off at the card table
Yes, and then it felt like that 30 minutes it took them to clean up and load the dishwasher and get to the tree
felt like four and a half hours
That's right because we weren't allowed to touch anything under the tree while while the adults were cleaning up
And so we would all just sit there and just wait and it felt like there was no TV in the room
Which made it worse because you didn't have nothing to pass the time pass the time. Yeah, but I
traditions
This year my my wise family does some stuff Christmas Eve. I'm actually going first time. I will be out of the state of Texas
On a holiday Christmas Eve
I'll be up in Mike's in his family up in the hot springs Arkansas area
So that that's a lot of fun
You and I actually spent a Christmas together with our family at this at this in our studio. Yeah
Yeah, had some my family and I'm an only child so it's kind of hard for for me, but
We had
But um I am I love the holidays big fan of the holidays
Sports is always a big holiday. I noticed the NBA is trying to become the
They're trying they're trying to corner Christmas now. So maybe some people's tradition the future might be NBA basketball on Christmas day
What do you need the meal?
I'm a big fan say I want to do the Christmas turkey. I prefer a Christmas hand
Um, I and you know, of course all the accoutrements
I prefer the Christmas barbecue. Oh brother
You don't even have to put the word Christmas in front of it. You say barbecue. I mean
I have my you know me and I've got a fill of the turkey and the dressing and all that
On Thanksgiving. I'm not a person that likes to repeat that meal on Christmas. Let me ask you this
Have you ever done the turd ducking? I have not I'm very intrigued by the concept of the turd duck
It's very hard to do. It's actually originated as a Cajun dish
And that was something that kind of John Madden that was a who we're going to mention here a little bit later
Inside of a chicken inside of a duck
No, it's a duck inside of a chicken inside of turkey something like that
Three bars. I I want to try it sometime. So if anybody out there has an opinion on the turd ducking
You know, maybe find out how I can do this. Yeah, Christmas brunch. I've said that in the chat room Christmas brunch
I love brunch period. I just never had to get up at that time on a Sunday
You know, but I'm a big fan of brunch
just because
Whenever you go somewhere that has brunch, it's always huge and I love
Just the way the way the foods work together and you always get like a
Like a what do you call that at an on what station deep fried turd ducking? Wow

Hey, one of your one of our favorites
S&L
Definitely if that was a Facebook campaign. Great YouTube video. I don't know if anybody
Got on that but if you do it was cookie monster to be on S&L
Facebook did a whole fake
Montage fake news. It was funny. It was great. Very funny. If you can see I'm sure that's probably especially on YouTube
But if you did do that you got to thank you that said thanks on cookie
You did I don't you did on your Facebook page because I actually joined that it was real funny
He's probably made a little cameo and it was just a bit. Oh, I it's on my DVR. I haven't watched it. Yes
So I'm looking forward to seeing that annex bar
Also, we had another entertainment death in the last couple of days the great steve land is bad
Many he was sergeant Arthur Dietrich on a Barney Miller Barney Miller
He was all with the glasses and all the hair. Also did some cameos on the 70s show. That's also a play on that he was
Oh, jeez don't get me lying. I have to pull it up
But he I know one of his later roles. He was the pediatrician in forgetting sir. That's right. Yep
So great actor
Pass away of cancer. Yes, big of that 70 show. You're right. The worst mug shot ever did that was I lied to you on this
Yeah, I saw that before you posted that but yeah, that was horrible one of the the first girl that played tofer graces sister
About 70 show arrested for a DUI
You talk about and let me tell you something fans
If you're at work and do a search on this girl
Be aware if you do the search on bane the first image that's gonna come up is not safe for work
So be aware of how she's got a past she well she apparently did a movie where she was at least
Topless and that's the first picture that comes up. So be aware of her name. Oh escapes me let me let me look it up for you real quick
Yeah, I think Chad and I are probably racing to do that right. I don't know what her name was a bit bit part
She is she's one of those three name actresses. Yeah
But says Lisa something great show. I I've always said remember there are
There are three shows that I will stop down for even if I've seen the the uh
If I've seen the episode a hundred times there are three shows. I will stop down for
That's 70 show
Family guy
Friends Lisa Robin Kelly Lisa Robin Kelly a certain go ahead and look that up real quick um because you
Cody does have his own terminal right here in the studio he can do that
We um
Remember the 80 show all three episodes of it yeah
That was my problem with that 80 show was it was a it was a lot of hey look where in the 80s
I have a big cell phone and I'm gonna accent it on the camera. It was very overly done
And I think that the genius of that 70 show is everything was real subtle
Yes, it was a show that took place in the 70s and not the 80s was the show
That that was to mean with the difference
And I believe that's all I have and I'm gonna let you catch up on that
Yes
You
Do you want to just go ahead and go into this straight into act three yes because we are at the 122 mark
Let me get some things out of the way
Oh

www.theclubhousewithrobbencody.com

And if you miss a live show you can always listen in on the archive right here on you stream
All of our everything since episode four
I believe is here and one of these days we're going to get those early episodes up as a flashback
It is the holiday show, but before we get to more holiday talk
We've got to get to the reason you called the reason you're here
And that would be wrestling talk
I almost said it was a big week, but it really wasn't
This is like a little naughty pipe in your life
I don't need to pipe it
Couple of headlines
Rumors are Sean Michaels will be back for WrestleMania 27
Can even I mean the way this card is shaping up right now can he even save it
I don't know, you know, they are saying in preface this they are saying as a special guest referee
Yeah, he's not going to be wrestling. Yeah
Well, A depends on what your main event is
I think he has a situation to where he's got in order for him to be the ref
He's got to have some type of kinship in the match
So it's going to have to be triple H or the Undertaker
Yeah, it's going to have to have him some relevance
Would love to see him as a mystery GN if that's going to happen
I still think that's Jericho. Yeah, I hope so. I hope so. I hope they they need to I'm tired of it
They need to we need to find out who this person is
Yeah, this thing how long has this gone on now six months six months
Easy so
That's that it has been a been a slow actually
Been a slow week as far as news goes. Yeah, it's time this time of year. Yeah, starting to wrap up
I did watch the one hour version of tribute to the troops last night
I will say this and Chad was watching it with me. So I'm sure he'll agree
Looking forward to the two hour version tomorrow night there. They didn't not really didn't do anything
You had didn't dirty money perform
Friendship was in a tag match that he won
Trace adkins performed
And then there was a six man tag where Barrett was with our Alberto Del Rio and
Somebody else it was very weird, huh
Of course, you know it was there. I think that you're gonna get more you heard some rumors that you haven't told me
So I don't know what happens. Hopefully we'll address that tomorrow night
Let's talk about impact
Uh, I know you don't like Morgan's Mike skills
But he said something Thursday night that even you've got to give credit to
He told Jeff that hot topic called and they needed the belt back
It just I like the guy just don't know if it's gonna be one of those guys
I don't believe that Dixie really knows how to use him. Here's my thing with Morgan
He's gonna wear that belt. Yes for one reason and one reason only
Dixie feels like she owes him. Yep after this stunt. He pulled and if you're not aware
Morgan was a member of the last season of American gladiators and at that point he was his role in TNA
Where it was he was the security head security officer for gym coordinates
and
They were promising they were gonna push him but they hadn't done so yet
But he said to NBC
I'm I'll do this but I'm sticking with TNA. I can do both and NBC tried to power play him and say
You're gonna do this or you're not gonna do it at all and that Morgan basically told them some very not nice things and that
Acquited to go take a long walkoff short pier
NBC came back two weeks later and went okay. Well, let's you do that if you want
So he took a huge risk by taking on NBC universal
And one
So I think Dixie feels like she owes him and that's why I think he'll hold that belt now granted
He's got a wrestle in two weeks
He has to wrestle mr. Anderson for the number one contendership
At Genesis, so we'll see how that works out
Did you see Robbie E's ring a tire
Bagley he just beats me down. There's a fist on the butt of his trunks. So for the fist bump. Okay. I was like really
Well, you know who I'd like to see him in a program with for that belt for the X time. Yeah
You know who I would think could wear that and maybe bring some class back to it
Kazarian because there's already been an exhibition champion
I think he was one of the founding members of the exhibition. It's to me. That's the only belt Kazarian Tinkari
Yes, I'd like to see him get back around that belt
Got me Kazarian. I think I personally feel was overrated
He's another guy that's one of those
Early day TNA guys that's that's there and getting the push that he's getting because he's been there for so long
My whole thing is
Go be married to Tracy Brooks and have a great time
He's good in the ring just stay off the stick
It's this whole you know this Richard Greco thing. He's working just doesn't do anything for me
Why are we speaking of people unfortunate?
Why are we belittling AJ
I don't know hit to me. He's the only thing that brand has and I've said that for years
I mean are we really are we trying to tease him turning face again because I think right now that's a terrible idea
You know bishoff kind of got in his face and you lost the tv title at final resolution
You need to show me that you can be the leader that you're supposed to be and I mean just really dressed him down
And I was like dude
Don't turn him face right now as much as I love AJ either way because I think he's the best thing TNA has right now
I just I don't think this is the way you do it
But without Rick on tv
It kind of takes away from AJ's healness
Exactly if you will and I mean you and I we talk about this at nauseam
About how much trouble TNA is in right now they are and at a year from now they may not be here
I hope they are because I really hope they can get the wheels back on the thing
Because they've got to be able to
They've got to be able to do something because Vince needs competition and he needs it badly
Something that you love
Has finally happened in TNA. It's one of your favorite
Bit storylines of all time
And what I am referring to
Eric Young
Orlando Jordan and Eric Young are tag team partners or Lando Jordan creepy enough as he is
He finds Eric Young with a couple of hooters girls in a in a dressing room
And he's wearing the TNA world title
The one that Hogan dropped in the garbage can right after
Is it bound for glory?
So apparently now we're doing the I found the belt in the garbage cans of the belt is now mine
That dug in did with the TV title in WCW except this time it's TNA world title
I saw this and went Cody's finally going to be happy with something TNA did
Just kind of wonder where it goes from there
I think they rename it
I think he renames it because you've already got a television title
Yes, I think he names it the the young heavyweight title or something of that nature
I did not need Orlando Jordan dressed as a hooters girl
That was a little uncomfortable for me. I'm not afraid to say that we need to get rid of that bit
What they have to realize is that when that aired in some places in America that was the dinner hour
I'm just saying Chad says he has breaking news on the Lindsay Lohan incident
I will wait for him to type that as we as we continue on
Miss Tess Macher made her return as she was allegedly learning how to wrestle from Lacey von Eric
Who we know is no longer with the company
She shows up as Mickey James's mystery tag team partner in the knockouts tag team tournament to take on
Tara and Madison rain
Tara and Madison rain advance. It will be them versus the beautiful people this Thursday night in the finals of the knockout
Tag team tournament
Do you really think they're going to put all the belts on those two?
Could be I think I personally think they put them on the beautiful people
I think it's finally time for Mickey to win this
belt at Genesis
So let's see the woman who's on the Lohan incident if we're going to go back a little bit
The woman in question who spoke to TMZ was fired by Betty Ford officials
Huh, I'm assuming the woman in question would be the victim of the alleged assault
Probably a lot. You know people list cheap up. Yeah, it's it's it's a 15-minute world, sir
We also have the return of amazing red
Here's a question
Why don't I care about this guy
He's got all the talent in the world
But I just it's it's like it's like Ray Mysterio 10 years ago
I mean the guys the guys got speed the guys got moves. I just don't care
Yeah, I don't know that got guys a
To me TNA's got about five guys. I even care about
Bubba Ray is now demanding that everyone refer to him as bully Ray
Um, why are they taking TNA has taken something that was great and made it
Do they really expect me to buy this thing idiotic
Why are we even changing the bid on either one of the Dudley guests? We know who they are
But now he's bullied even had even on his shirt. It said bully Ray on the back. I don't I don't know what's going on here
Of course, you know, I still think him and Devon are gonna be a tables match a Genesis. I say I haven't announced some of the dead look
I think that happens
He's
Here's a here's he's a thought I'm gonna throw this out there
Jarrett right now is working the
Uh, double M the double J double M a
Challenge or he's coming out every week and he's quote unquote taking people from the audience
To take him on an open MMA competition
You know, it would be great. What's that
If the guy that finally beats him that he pulls out of the crowd is a revamped Santino
Ah
Artimates life. That's how he came into WWE and won the intercontinental belt. Yeah, man. I don't know
Yeah, I just I just don't know
I just this thing has to end this Jarrett MMA thing has to end. I just don't know it's not going anywhere
We're going nowhere with this
I just yeah
I mean the only thing I can figure is gonna happen is he picked some guy out of the out of the crowd that's a disguised somewhat with Joe
Yeah, I don't know how you disguise that guy. He's he's not real tough to pick out of the wine
Exactly. I there's got to be a payoff. We've been doing this too long. Let's move on
I mean we've done two paper reusing a row where you've done MMA style matches. We get it. It's a bit move on or Jarrett just go behind the curtain book
Also
They actually ended impact on time
But there was a reason and my guide almost didn't catch it
For some reason I still don't know why
Impact ended at 11 o'clock eastern time right on time straight up 11 o'clock
Normally you would follow with an hour of reaction afterwards
But what spiked decided to do and I don't know if they just didn't tell anybody or if you've
First didn't update my guide in time
They did a half an hour of some show that's based on some morning drive time wacky bit show the cranky
Show well cranking yours was done with puppets. That's Adam Corolla those guys, but it's the same bit where they just they do prank calls
And then there was a half an hour impact after one or half hour reaction afterwards
I
Was just like real I it didn't make any sense to me
Where I this you know it just wreaks up to me
This wreaks of bishoff
Because remember when night show used to go over 10 minutes and then you'd get
You know
This is the giant gonna defeat Hogan watch Robin Hood on TNT and we'll cut in during commercial breaks and show you the end of this match fans
I think that's what he did
And it didn't work that either because I fast forwarded right through it didn't care
I'm not a big fan of the prank call the first jerky voice album. That's about it
Chad says that they promote the snot out of that show didn't make it any better
I it just it just annoyed me because
My you know if I hadn't been paying attention
I would have missed some of reaction which I actually wanted to watch and so I had to stay up to almost 1130 to watch it
The next night we did have smackdown which is airing live as we are on the air
We are not watching it because I'm actually want to watch it with sound
And we can't do that while we're on the air of course because it makes it really it just doesn't sound right. No
Apparently everybody saying that the things happened last night
Is the bit because cold did it and Caitlin did it yeah on the show
Guys get a calendar remember you're supposed to be on Friday not Tuesday
Did you see copi's boom hands
You can buy big foam hands for copi that's a boom on him and you can do the clapping thing man
At least they're letting the push in the guy some way yeah, but they took what was supposed to be his DVD set and put it on paper view like they never released it
Boy, he's I don't know he's from Boston
That's all I know
Apparently convuls MRI came back negative because he was on the show
Tagging with copi in that match. I honestly couldn't tell you who got the pin, but I'm pretty sure the faces one
That's all I can tell you right now
Also on smackdown this week and I don't know maybe I don't I haven't noticed this
As much maybe I'm not paying enough attention
But
Is Michelle McCool just terrible on the stick. Yeah, so she have no stick no promo ability at all
Even I mean like lay was not great
But lay was the rock compared to her. I mean, it's that bad. I didn't realize how bad it really was it made me sad
Oh
See as we continue on it and chavo
Chavo chavo chavo chavo chavo chavo
Is he just gonna rotate tag partners every week? I guess so man cutlet
I know the that Vince wants to do the Guerrero's a favor and and and get on my chat and in this
I don't know man
Whatever. I mean chavo had I mean chavo's got skills. I think he may be a little Louis will tie it up by the way
um
He may be a little bit past the hill now
But just putting off camera putting backstage letting him let it rotate yeah, I think the guy could be a great
Rotation now. I think he could teach these kids a lot of things
Last little bit for smackdown apparently Ezekiel Jackson is headed to smackdown from raw this come tonight
Tonight he's headed there. Yeah, well, I like him a lot
He's got to get some Mike skills. Yeah, that's the only thing I've got to get some Mike skills on this thing
But because he's got the size. He's got the power for him. He's
He's the wrestler that Ahmed Johnson couldn't be
But neither one of them had Mike skills either
TLC was this week
Allegedly, I mean, I watched it. I know what happened
And again, we had a pay-per-view
Where almost every belt was on the line and one belt changed hands that we the one we knew would change the one that pretty much
Everybody that has a pulse figured would change hands as edge
starts his
Title rain and last
You said this to me on thunday as we talked and then you think he will be his last
I think this one lasts a while. I think they I think Vince owes Adam a long run
How long do you think it goes? I'm going to put your over under it over the limit
Yes, I'd love to see the program. He's in it. Mania
With who exactly with who that's what I'm with who
I just don't know who you who on that it's going to have to be del Rio
Could be unless somebody comes out in the rumble and and switches brands
Says I don't want that belt. I want like like Benoit did uh-huh
Which the record books don't show that but
um
I just there's nobody on the smackdown roster that I can see edge doing a program with even if Christian healed tomorrow
Uh-huh. We've seen him before exactly
I just I don't know where this goes. I think the belt's on the right person
I just don't know what's going to happen from here
Most of the matches don't work bad
Some great spots
Miss beat shamus as he's on the ladder shamus tries to push the ladder over the ropes
Morrison kicks a foot back
Bounces him down with balances his foot to the top rope pushes off the rope
Pushes the the ladder forward and kick shamus on the way over cool great spot
There were a couple of like even in that intercontinental the ending of that intercontinental match where
Kofi and swagger are on the on the ladder fighting
Kofi grabs the belt the belt falls out of his hands falls to the mat
Dolph Ziegler's on the mat reaches over grab the belt wins. That's cool creative ending. It's different
Yeah, you know, and it's what it shows me is that creative can't do this. Yeah, they can do great things
There were flashes of brilliance
Why can't we bring that to the show so I'm not it's like we talk about then we get Monday night scene at every week
We get Friday night cane every week
Creative we know you can do it
Make a pay-per-view that works too
But as we talked about Morrison beats
Shamus and is now the number one contender for the WWE title
Will this happen at the rumble I hope I hope what what concerns me and you and I talked about this
And I have to happen at the rumble because really the main event of the Royal Rumble is the rumble
You can get away with it doing it at the rumble you can't get away with it any other major
Here's what concerns me
What concerns me is creative panics and doesn't think this thing gets gets pay-per-view quality which I think it is
I think these guys could put on a good match
And they end up putting Orton and and scene it into it as a four corner good. She could think and that cheapens Morrison's push
You know let's let these only go as far as creative lets him go let these guys go
You know like you said the main event is the rumble so if if the match ends up taking up the joint
You're not losing anything because you're taking up an hour with the rumble anyway
And if you do it right you can even carry it into elimination chamber
Because that's your February pay-per-view
That's my whole thing with it
And
And you probably thought to yourself well, you know the edge
I didn't watch the pay-per-view rob and
That that four-way dance
For the for the for the world title that had to be the main event. It's TLC. It's a TLC match. That was not your main event
Barrett Sina chair match was your main event
And it was terrible. Yeah, it was a horrible match
There was at no point in that match and Chad watched it with me. He can attest to this
There was no point in that match that I went
Yeah, that's pretty good match
Yeah, the match didn't make sense. What was on the line?
Nothing
I've got something that the deal with Sina it's got you've got to come to a stopping point with this where he's the show
But you've said it to me
Vince is so afraid of rolling the dice
On a merchandising standpoint with him. That's right. I mean, he's got to be at a point now
He's almost at an Austin level with shirts. That's right
Yeah, Vince is so afraid of that dynamic of the losing the money on the merchandise the t-shirts
I think him even getting movies and him doing other things and
I
It's overkill. It's becoming overkill to me
I agree with you and that's just the way I feel about it and that
That's probably rubs people the wrong way and as you know
It says Sina gets more popular his ring skills digress and we talked about that on the phone the other day with when Rocky had the belt
He kind of upped his game to that belt, huh?
I really thought Sina was gonna do that but what I've realized is if it's not a gimmick match, huh?
Sina can't go can't go he can't go
And it just it makes me sad because the guys got all the charisma in the world
He's got that X factor that you have to have to be champion
But you also have to be able to work in the ring and there's just he just cannot work anymore
And you brought up a point to me about Orton on that card that I didn't know
About not selling yeah, yeah, I didn't see it, but apparently he was working real stiff
Yeah, there were some people saying that Orton was working real stiff
I just think this guy's afraid to help and push young talent and I don't understand why because he was that young talent
Not very long ago
He's just a guy that I don't that's a weird
Situation I've always said I've always believed he eventually he's TNA bound
I've always said that I just can't see him fitting in there
I don't know why I just I can't
You know, but then again, this is the promotion. They were Jeff Hardy is your world champion, right?
Yeah, that's true and that was another thing that you and I talked about last night or was it night before on the phone where I said
What is it about Jeff Hardy
That everybody wants to strap their entire company to yeah
The guys infamous for
Burning out out of nowhere not wanting to work
And the guys in the middle of literally the trial for his life. Yeah, I don't understand it boy. If I'm missing something they do
They do I'll give him this man. He has held
He's held everybody's belt literally literally, so I mean it must be something
Because I don't think he puts butts in seats personally. I don't either, but somebody does because he
He
He seems to get in a promotion will Vince created Vince created the monster
Very much so because he put the belt on him first and I never thought I'd see the day
It in my with that I would that Jeff Hardy would be a world champion of any kind
in my opinion so
We move on to raw
We started with and I coined this phrase before Michael Cole said it
I'm saying that now I have witnesses. We started with a mismiss carol
Where Alex Riley was ghost of Christmas past and
Michael Cole was ghost of Christmas present. I don't know who ghost of Christmas future wasn't I really didn't care
But that's how we're starting the show
I think we can book better than this
Well, one thing I'll say about this this um
Miss thing is it's original. It's something different now. Will I tire of it?
Probably I'm already tired of it
But him as chant I think it was a good direction for the company
There's something different. I mean, I guess it's I guess it's kind of a
It's a catch 22 that's right because on one hand all we do on this show in this segment is clamor about something
Different something different something different. Well there here's Vince going. Okay. You want something different
Here's miss is your champion. Yep
So do we really have complaining rights? I don't have any problem with it
I think it's kind of fun. This thing can't go a long time now
But one thing I have noticed and it was a theory I've had for a while. Did you watch any of the footage about him on Jimmy Kimmel? No
Out of character
Likeable
Like when he's not being dumb is and he's just mic whatever his name is
He's kind of he's kind of he's a little geeky. Uh-huh, and he was really good on Jimmy Kimmel
So I had that theory so it makes me know the guy okay the guy knows how to do his job
I was just glad they didn't run and throw the belt back on orton which me orton have said this for a very long time
Orton just can't carry the belt
He just he brings no heat to it to me the title dies on him. I've always thought that does the title die on him or does he die on the title
I think as to me the title is always a title. I just think there's there's some weird
I don't know if it's a mental block with him, but when he has the belt
It's like he has to try to argue to be bigger than life. I think it's a little bit of both
Because to me that it doesn't he doesn't cheapen the belt enough
But it's just kind of like I made it's the pressure of being champion. Does it get to him? Maybe I just it's a very very strange thing
Melina is now your number one contender for the divas title so much for that slow burn
Is it was hello heel turn now she plants one across nattie's face
So I guess that's gonna happen somebody different and I you know it
I'm split on this because I think that I
Like nattie with the belt
But maybe it's time to move it to Melina, but the problem is if you put it on Melina she's injured in a month
Yes, so I just I hope she can stay healthy because I think the two of them could work a really good program
I wouldn't say it goes to Wrestlemania because you're talking three months right now unless that belt changes hands at the rumble
Also
Daniel Bryan I'm gonna throw a theory at you
This whole thing with the Bella twins we work into a sibling rivalry kind of a deal
Does he go Tommy dreamer?
I'll take them both because I'm hardcore
I don't know man. I think it's time to move that belt off him
He said his 14-year-old nephew texted in this morning said you're supposed to kiss him back
Okay, I like the guy. I think it's time to move the belt. Yeah, you've got to you've got to build heat with somebody and
When you're on the when you're the US champion and you're in a dark match on a paper view
That that concerns me. No, you know, you've got you've got gold. You don't need to be dark match. Oh
Santino and a tag match gets hit by his own cobra
Then there's that very
This guy's drowning. Yeah, this guy is drowning
We've got we've got to get him back on track. Uh-huh. This is bad
I mean, I really thought they were gonna drop those belts to Nexus on Sunday. I was hoping
And Vicki Guerrero I hope they're paying you a million dollars a year
Because last night it was open season on Vicki Guerrero
You know
Kings cutting one on her from the from the tables. Cena's cutting one on her from the other side
Let me just to let you know that this this Vicki thing
That segment went 12 minutes. Yeah, but it was good to see Cena with somebody else
Besides the norm and you made me even Dolph maybe you'll throw something down
You never know man, but then but you're gonna have to move on. Yeah, that's true. I don't know
Tonight on Smackdown. He was in a handicap match guys. Hey, man Vicki. So Lord only knows
also
Now we've got a scene a punk program
Yeah, which they kind of teased a little bit on Sunday night during the paper view where punk was
Well, why does
You know
How does this work? Why you know
He's already won the match. Why does he have to keep bullying
Wade Barrett blah blah blah then last night he gets in the ring and plays one on
On John Cena and walks out Josh Matthew stops him and says I just gave him a taste of his own medicine apparently
This wasn't supposed to start until next month. Huh
Do we tie somehow tie
punk in the nexus
You know, I thought about that
This he become the the actual leader of the and the brain child behind nexus. I
I don't know
Yes
But the early reports are this is supposed to go through WrestleMania
This is gonna be seen that punk is gonna be at WrestleMania you and I talked about this in pre-show. Yeah, why not
Why not give John something else to do it'll be the first WrestleMania and how long since he
For the title
I just I'm
He's not Hulk Hogan
But but Vince wants that guy so bad
And I think he's going down that same path without the heel turn which that
I think we may have run that one in the ground you think uh-huh
The the Cena heel turn theory. I think we may have actually officially run that into the ground
um
Yeah, they've got to do something they have to do something because it's driving me insane
And that is your current wrestling talk for this week
We get it now to one of my favorite parts of the deal not uh as we get into the time machine
As Cody each week brings us this week in wrestling history just a few this week
On this day
1999 Brett the hitman heart defeated Bill Goldberg for the W. W. World heavyweight title
How long did that last again Chris Jericho and China pinned each other to become co-holders of the intercontinent championship
Um, yeah, so then there's the hat wow
This day also this week excuse me W. W held at 17th annual starcade. I love starcade from the MC. I'm on the MCI center in Washington DC
Brett Hart defeated Goldberg by submission and I know just qualification match to retain the title
Many referees were taken out of the match Roddy Piper ended up taking over the duties you remember uh
Brett Hart received a bad concussion in the match kept wrestling
That was that was a bad spot because Goldberg speared him into the turntin buckle and you mean go back and watch that
You know something goes badly and that pretty much ended his career
Is it dead? That was pretty much the ballgame for ballgame for Brett
One more here happy birthday stonecoach Steve Austin this week. Yep. We said earlier on band-dam true stratus

So now went back to the little history and this is a top 10 hot Christmas toys
Of all time of all time
For all of the times number 10
1975 the pet rock
This was a big deal in the 70s. It was a rock that was painted
And you just kept it on your on your shelf and it was safe. It was literally a pet rock. I mean
Little weird little weird. Yeah, it was a 70s. What do you do?
Uh, number nine the exact same year pong big thing pong
It was an arcade game. Uh-huh
We weren't highfalutin in my house
So we had the little radio shack version that had the little path
That's right. If you plug into our little black and white TV because it was black and white
There was no colors involved and you could play ping pong back and forth
You could play hockey where you had two different guys. I got you
You could play squash where you both hit it up against the wall
And you could play racquetball where there were extra and walls. That was it
That was a ballgame, but you would play that thing for hours hours hours hours. Yes. So pong
Number eight this is the anniversary here 1952 mr. potato head
Couple things history here. It was Hasbro's first full line production toy really and was the first toy to have a television commercial
Really? Yes, very nice. I just don't know that of course followed later by Mrs. potato head
Yep, and now they're in Bridgestone commercials and featured toy story and
Big celebrity now number seven Atari
Never rich enough to have this we didn't have a gaming system until Nintendo
But I do paint friends that had Atari and we would play my cousin had one such games as pole position. Yep
Pitfall yep pitfall was one of my favorites. Yes. So Atari course Pac-Man all that
Cuber Terrible Pac-Man. Yes for that. Cuber. I don't think it was available for the 2600 ET
We talked about that last week
Number six the Furby
Let me say something and I wish Chad was in the room
But he but he searched high alone and they had you had to buy two of them because they had to talk to each other now
Most annoying toy ever
I will take that thing you you twirl around on new years day that's
Always make her think I'll take a hundred of those over a Furby
This this toy was for but they would learn from each other and they would talk
Very creepy a number five one that was last year that I thought was a robot a remote control hamster the zoo zoo
That's basically isn't that basically what those are yeah, it was a waste
I thought it was the one of the dumbest thing how you built these elaborate playgrounds for them
Now were they remote controller did you just let them go they would go and they kind of did their bit. Yeah
Didn't they try to do some kind of an online version of that too
Something like that well I saw one of these and couldn't believe that people were spending good hard on money on it
It's all about think about silly bands. Yes stupid
1990 game boy. I remember this and we talked about this before the show
I had one of these was my junior year of high school
It was in the spring that they came out and I had one and a buddy of mine was gonna go sign my yearbook
And he dropped the corner of my yearbook and broke the screen
But I was able to convince the local Lionel toy world that it came that way
It's changed it for because that was a hundred dollar piece of equipment that I had saved up money for
And the original Game Boy it was black and white or black and green screen on it
But it didn't light up you had to buy a light that you attached to the top of it that shut down on them
Then you had the glare from the light in the middle possible
Yeah, they of course followed by Game Boy color then became the DS now the DSI DSI yeah, so the Game Boy was kind of
That was the stepping stone that Sega had the game gear game gear and then you also had
Yeah game gears what that was called
People have also taken the Game Boy hard drive and made it
Put it in other computers
Um, there's been Halloween costumes full-line Game Boy
Of course the most popular game on Game Boy was of course Tetris
Was a big player on there
Number three 2008 PlayStation 3 the PS3 yeah, you know what and if I've got to choose I mean the Xbox 360 and the PS3 both have such
Such pros and cons, but I think what gives the PS3 the edge is it kind of built in blue right player that's right
See Microsoft when they released the 360 they thought HD DVD was gonna be the way to go
But you had to buy it as an attachable hard drive
Uh, they have not given in to blue right yet. I don't know why I think it would help their sales
But it may be a hardware problem too. Yes, and number two cabbage patch kids
I was in the sixth grade when these things really really took off
I remember one day
Every girl in school somehow in three grades somehow coordinated
They all brought their cabbage patch dolls to the school on the same day. Yes, our middle's market middle was over
Now you can buy these still out some places for about eight bucks at the time of release
They were $35 it's you were lucky you paid 35 and which in 1983 for a doll was a lot of money. Yeah
In number one number one one one hundred fifty million sold that many in one Christmas season
I don't think there'd be duplicated this thing has become a chicken
Elvis roll around on the floor and do this this guy
Uh, real quick one more thing
The Ernie was released first yep. Yep. Yep. This this person. We are of course talking about one man
That would be Elmo
Tickle me Elmo is your number one hottest and top-selling Christmas toy of all time the tickle me Elmo
This thing was a and still is of nature. Yes, first release
I'm oh, I'm I'm very old school when it comes to the muppets and it comes to Sesame Street
And to me Elmo's not on my radar, but there was so you can't even find the other ones the ones released
Was Big Bird Ernie
Cookie Monster
Our favorite and Elmo were released in this tickle me line
Elmo just took off
And now Elmo was hot at the time. He was the new muppet. Yes
Elmo also has now chicken Elmo and now tickle me Elmo actually falls down gets on his hands and knees rolls around and gets back up
This thing is prolonged, but tickle me Elmo. He is the king of Christmas
I remember people were selling these out the back of
Employees were stealing them and selling them in alleys. Oh, yeah. This time. I remember that Christmas
It was crazy. I'm glad I didn't need to get one. Yes. That's it's crazy
But I mean 1996 I was worried about audio equipment. Yes, television, but that makes sure that's list
