Not A Lot Of Sports But Still A Lot To Talk About!

Music
It is 8 o'clock on the east coast, it is 5 o'clock on the west coast, it is the 20th
of February in the year of our Lord 2025 episode, season 15, episode 32, 701 times you have
been welcome to the clubhouse podcast live from various places around the Metroplex.
Welcome.
We are your one stop shop for all things sports, entertainment, pop culture and pro wrestling
and three of those four are going to carry the load tonight.
So my name is Rob and I can actually wear this sweater for the first time of the season
because pictures and catchers have reported and it is still hockey season.
Shout out to my friend Rachel, who this was a promotional giveaway at a Rough Riders game
and she picked up an extra one.
She's like, well, it's double X. I'm like, that's my size and she's like, oh, okay, cool.
That way for me is my co-host and a man who I get to hang out with tomorrow night is
out.
I am jealous of that sweater though.
That is a really, really sharp sweater because as we know, if you've gone to minor league
baseball, minor league hockey, whatever, the giveaways aren't always top tier, but that
one genuinely is.
It is very comfortable, it's not, I, I venture to say sweater because of the style because
it's hockey sweater is the right preferred, but this not required anymore from a material
standpoint.
It does lean towards the jersey side because it's not, it's not thick.
Yeah, it is very, very comfortable and it's got the little tight thing, which I like.
Mm-hmm.
At the bottom of your screen is the official fact checker of sooner or greater productions.
And a man who looks like he just got a haircut.
You may know him as Zigg Boonu, but his mom and even Don Ford, I'm going to call him Don
Ford.
Hey, man.
You actually did that.
I think I'm Friday.
What's the last?
No, it was last show right for the week, right from last week's show I did it actually.
A week ago.
My own fair enough.
Yeah, having a cut because we had the big one look good for the big dinner we had for
our church.
We went to Marjana's for Valentine's couples, did the family style, Marjana's good eating
right there.
Yes, it did.
It was on you.
All I did not have a bad thing from there at your wedding reception.
So everything was wonderful, but bring you a checkbook.
All right.
We have no real sports to talk about.
We do want to send our best to Victor Wembenyama.
It was found out today that he is found to have a blood clot in his left shoulder and
will be out for the remainder of the season.
They've got a really good deep dive on this on around the horn today of other players
that have dealt with this and things of its nature.
Go ahead, Alex.
I saw some reports that said it was his right shoulder.
Has it been confirmed as left now?
I thought it was left to could be right.
It's one of his shoulder, but it's got him out for the rest of the season and blood
clots are not something to play with.
I will say this, the All Star game was for both NHL and NBA were this weekend, which is
why we have no sports to talk about because like, there were so little sports that both
around the horn and PCI took presidents day off because there's nothing to talk about.
So it's right shoulder.
Okay.
So it's the right shoulder.
But I do want, I was watching some footage today from the NBA All Star game and dear God.
They were giving the trophy to Kevin Durant.
You don't realize how tall that dude is because he is a giant among giants.
Watch the footage of him getting that trophy and Steph Curry is off to the left and he makes
Steph Curry look like Vern Troyer.
It's insane.
Well, Steph Curry is on the shorter side for the NBA and Kevin Durant is near Steph
and footer.
He's just hot towers over that.
Yeah.
But right now we are gearing up for the finals of the four four nation challenge USA Canada.
Okay.
That's what they need to change the name to just for that.
Actually you know what?
I want you to do it again, but I want you to do four nations face off.
Go.
I'm playing hockey now for a nation face off is happening now, even though there's only
USA Canada tonight and they're in Boston.
So good luck.
Canadia.
Yeah.
Or one to first go around four fights in the first nine seconds of that game.
Got the conchucked brothers out there getting it done.
Why does it feel like the fact that it's in Boston means that they have to one up that
and have like literally six people like the puck drops center space off right wing
on left wing face off defensive and face off.
And I want the goalies heading full skate to the middle of the ice.
I've heard the true five on five.
Six.
But yeah, I kind of like what they've done.
Oh no.
It's a round robin thing.
There.
I mean, a lot of people are saying, give me this over what the NBA has done.
This.
There's like nobody.
Nobody cares.
Like the NBA.
It's like, okay, it's the NBA.
And here's Kevin Hart for the next hour and a half done.
You look like you wanted to say something like to say, you know, it's, it's, they're trying
to I think do like you're saying make the sports better, you know what I'm saying?
And for one thing that they're trying to expand is like, we just found out that, um,
face favorite football team.
I call football English football Chelsea's coming back to the US to do three games again.
Nice.
Do you have locations yet?
Hold on.
I'm going to refer to it as football.
Yeah.
Okay.
You must refer to them as matches.
I was going to let them slide.
I was going to let them slide.
You could be a soccer game, but it has to be a football match.
And they are.
It's part of their fixtures coming up.
That is true.
There you go.
But to go back to the important question to go back to the important question, do they
have locations and dates yet?
Yeah.
It's in June.
One's going to be back in Atlanta.
Okay.
The other two are going to be June, I think 12th or whatever, but then the 16th.
We're looking at Friday, 16th of June.
They're playing in, uh, and then the Monday after they're playing in Philly.
So we're thinking about going to because we've never been to Philly.
I miss the second one.
So you said the first ones in Atlanta, the second one or the third one.
Second and third of both in.
Okay.
Both in Philly.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was a little hard to follow.
I wanted to make sure we had that.
Yeah.
I've never been there.
It's a cool town.
I like things in Philly.
I don't like people in Philly.
Now have you.
I enjoy the breakfast.
Cheese steak out.
Okay.
Which we will talk about places we have to hit.
Like you're saying that.
Genos.
The, um,
Pats is over it.
Yeah.
Of course.
Yeah.
I didn't hurt a pathore.
Genos because everybody I talked to was like, don't go there.
No, no, no, no.
You order from Genos so you don't have to deal with the line.
Okay.
Okay.
Because Genos is superior to Pats and I will fight on that hill.
Remember the name of the place I went to multiple times.
You got it.
Very much enjoyed.
It was.
It was called.
It was right behind my hotel and it was fantastic.
I remember you speaking highly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, remember you're speaking highly of it, but I don't remember the name.
Don, what were you asking?
So, uh, you know, we'll be there for a couple of days.
We want to do like the, you know, see the Liberty Bell Independence Hall and I'll add
then go down to the game or to the match.
Um, but the, uh, the, um, we're going to think probably seeing this downtown area or
something like that.
Um, in that city area, there's a lot of it.
I don't know.
We'll talk about.
I need some advice.
We've never been there.
And I just look is laughing and I can't.
I want to send you somewhere.
I can't say it on this show.
No, no, no, no.
Where were you bring that?
And no.
Rob knows exactly what Rob is thinking.
No, don't not listen to that man.
If you listen to that, you asshole,
do not listen to that man.
Oh, no, no.
I need Don to film faith just walking around.
That's you.
No, no.
No, no, Don.
I think it's Don, we will come on here.
Who do you trust more?
You should absolutely answer Rob.
What I'm going to say is on this, they're both of you.
If we did this, would it hurt faith in any way?
Because faith is going to find physically or emotionally
or it would be emotionally damaging to both of them.
We'll talk off air because this is too much indirect.
General, I'm saying just for his information, Rob.
There are 19 people yelling at their televisions
or their phones right now.
By the way, you don't even know what I'm talking about.
You need to calm down.
By the way, Patreon getting Apple TV app.
So if you watch our show on their televisions,
you don't like every part about this is how we have it set up.
It's like Don's at the bottom.
Rob is the angel on one shoulder.
And I'm dressed in red for the other side.
He's not wrong.
All right.
Now we got the travel question down the show.
We got our travel and the food part done.
All right.
Just remember the kingdom.
But now it is time for, by the way,
we'll have everything back on track for NBA and NHL next week.
Stuff we watch this week TV edition.
I have a lot, but I'm going to hold off.
Alex, go.
I texted you yesterday.
I have finished the last season of Cobra Kai.
And boy, if you, like, let me, let me pause at this.
Would either of you gentlemen consider yourselves emotional
when it comes to nostalgia that's done really well?
Yes.
Or stories that are done really well.
How deep it goes, but yeah.
So Don, I didn't text you this.
So this is going to be new information.
But I texted Rob and I said, why is every episode
of the last season making me cry in the best way?
I'm Cobra Kai on Cobra Kai.
It's, oh, so, so many different ways.
Now granted, it's, I appreciated the earlier seasons
where they were still finding it out before it got to this.
But they definitely, you know, Mighty Ducks
to the ending of this.
But they did a really great job with it.
OK.
I love it.
And I cried a lot, not a lot.
Hockey rinks.
So on ours, it's, it's late to the game.
Really late to the game.
But we thought since the new things coming in,
we never watched it.
So we gave it a shot to what the heck.
And then we binge the first season within two days
and almost done with the second season.
Since then is white Lotus.
I am curious to start that.
Every ad I see makes me a little bit more curious to watch that.
It's same.
I was hoping you was going to say something else.
I'll say that the first season we loved,
the second season's kind of not as good
by I see what they're trying to do.
But I think if I had to say which one's better,
the first season's better, is season two staking note,
but not as good as the first season.
Well, because they just started season three on Sunday,
so we're trying to get, you know, in kind of to the weekly bit.
Oh, I thought that was season two, right?
Yeah, no, no season three started on on.
Basically, they rich people go and they go to a resort.
They call the white Lotus.
It's kind of like they're filmed up to four seasons,
trying to make, you know, save like four seasons
in real life, but call white Lotus.
And basically it's a story of a stay
of a bunch of different people up this resort
that are rich and screwing the head.
And the first one's in Hawaii
then it's years later at the place in Sicily on season two.
Now the third one's going to be
at the fancy resort in Thailand,
which is started on Sunday.
So it's I'm sure they'll get a lot of yardage
out of mispronouncing Puket.
Before before you go into it, Rob,
because we started with him talking about Chelsea
and soccer games or football matches and fixtures,
I was really hoping he was going to say a different show.
Okay.
I believed he was going to say a different show.
We've been nice.
That would have been nice.
I was so excited.
I do want to say Alex, the reference you made to me
the other day on the phone of you couldn't remember
if it was have I got news for you or John Oliver.
It was John Oliver.
That's what I figured after we talk about it.
We got the great one coming out, walking out in the pregame.
So, but I was SNL intensive, although have I got news
for you did come back this week
and they are coming in hot.
God bless you.
Oh yeah.
So Friday night was SNL 50, the homecoming concert.
I watched most of this on Saturday, actually no,
I got all the way through it before judgment day.
Okay.
I saw exactly one clip from that and I held like an idiot.
Friday was of course it was Valentine's Day.
So the wife and I were spending some time together.
So it was three hours without commercials.
Oh wow, homecoming concert.
Andy Sandberg and Lady Gaga as part of the one I saw,
the lonely island Medley and the Christmas Medley.
The two of them singing in a box.
Very funny, very much enjoyed that.
Her reaction to him when he said he wasn't going to do it
broke me instantly.
I just like on SNL, why are you know the first see the first show
what was July of 75 over of 75.
Doctor, why do you drive because that's the summertime?
Okay.
So why did are they not doing this in the new season starting
with the big thing when it's actually the 50 year time?
Because it's the 50th season.
Okay.
So they're doing it for all season basically.
All right, okay.
All right.
They got Lauren Hill to show up during the show
with Wyclef Jean.
Bonus.
Did nothing off of the miseducation album.
It was all Fuji stuff.
And but they also didn't do my favorite opinion.
I like the Fuji's better.
They also didn't do my favorite Fuji song.
Ready or not is a banger.
I honestly, I had the song playing in my head trying to remember
what the actual title was.
The video is like going to marine it.
Oh, cool.
And and I always I see the cover that I always think about how
I lost my mind when the new day had their outfits.
Doing an homage to that album.
That was so cool.
Oh, and a gas tire was putting in work.
Yeah.
She did a lot on that show of
include they did the her and
Will Ferrell as the old couple.
Oh, I didn't see about this.
And they finished with long, they did.
Yeah, it was a medley.
And the thing was this was a peacock exclusive.
So the gloves were off.
Oh, yeah.
It started to actually said the word that wasn't said.
And it started with Jimmy Fallon doing a soul man
with a bunch of dancers dressed like the blues brothers.
Nice.
That was pretty cool.
Because again, it was on peacock and the gloves are off.
Snoop was in all of his snooposity.
Again, introduced by Anna gas tire as
Martha Stewart.
And I mean, Snoop, that dude just lives his best life.
I don't care what anybody says.
He just came out and did the deal, bro.
Oh, there, uh, there was a thing called post nirvana
where post Malone called
right and Dave girl and Pat smear and said if we're, if we're,
if I'm going to do this, you guys are doing this with me.
And they came out and did, uh, smells like teen spirit.
And it was dope.
Go check out that clip if you haven't.
Uh, there was also David burn was doing work.
He was, he did some work with arcade fire and then he did some work with robin.
Um, the tech in this thing was off the chart.
And I'm going to give you the best example I can come up with from the show.
So, uh,
Maya Rudolph comes out, Fred arm is in comes out as Beyonce and Prince respectively
to do the print show.
And so he would whisper and she would talk.
And then she would say Prince would like to say something.
And this was not announced.
This was a complete surprise guest because I knew there was going to be more than they list it.
And he goes ladies and gentlemen, share.
Share comes out in the if I could turn back time outfit.
With a replica, what I thought was a replica of the ship with the gun turrets behind it.
Oh, shut up.
Chantelle, Kirby, I was like, sing on the night.
And I was like, and absolutely crushed it.
And then I realized it was on the video wall.
I thought it was a practical set that how good it looked.
Cause I was like, man, they got that set up quickly.
And then they cut back to it and I was like, oh my God, that was just on the video wall.
I with the way you were looking like you were ready to pop.
I was genuinely expecting a James Hughes moment of more stay in the time.
Oh, no, no, they did not show.
But share was great.
Miley Cyrus did a couple of numbers with the girl from Alabama shakes.
Okay.
And then they also played on the actual 50th thing on Sunday.
Sorry, I'm still trying to shake this thing.
Yeah.
No one intended, but that it was really, really good.
It was really well done.
There were a couple of moments where it lulled a little bit.
Backstreet boys, there were some tone issues.
But that mean they, of course, the place went in.
I mean, Radio City was packed at one point.
Because Jimmy Fallon was hosting it, he was in the aisle amongst the crowd.
And he goes, I just, there were some confusion backstage.
And I just want to say we are not handing out any awards tonight.
And over his shoulder, you see Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson get up and walk out.
And it was so funny seeing the headlines of like Tom Hanks walks out.
I'm like, don't be a judge.
No, the bit.
Yeah.
It's clickbait morons.
It was, and he's like, no, Tom, come back, Tom, Tom.
It was, it was a really good show.
It's on.
You brought up roles.
Is it doing teen spirit?
Is there a, did he have a beef with that song playing at Navaday's or is he kind of,
or, okay, I thought am I read something where he, he did, if I can summarize that one real quick for you.
Yeah, yeah.
That had everything to do with a lawsuit about ownership of the material.
No, okay, okay.
Playing the material.
Okay, okay, real quick as far as a, don't know if you want this and stuff we watch this week.
Do we want to talk about the president's day triple header for TGL?
We can, but let me finish.
That's, oh, I apologize.
I thought you had finished with us.
We haven't even gotten to the anniversary special yet.
I'm not going to say it.
So Saturday night, they played the very first episode, but I've seen that a hundred times.
What went, what aren't you going to say Alex?
It's like I, I don't watch.
So I have nothing to base that on.
No, it's okay.
Sunday night was the anniversary special.
There was a one hour red carpet before it, which was a lot of fun seeing Leslie Jones just mark out on
everybody that was on the red carpet.
Very cool stuff there.
It opened with Sabrina Carpenter and Paul Simon and Paul Simon said this song that we're opening up with.
I don't know who this is singing the national anthem.
I recognize her, but I don't know who it is.
He says, I played this song on the third episode of SNL in November of 1975 and Sabrina Carpenter says I was not alive in 1975 and neither were my parents.
And I was like, oh, the pay.
Yeah, and I mean, it killed, it got a huge pop, but I was like, you are not very nice young lady.
But that was, it was very, very funny.
It was three and a half hours with commercials.
Did you see that?
I saw it.
But I actually deviant it.
I didn't watch it on peacock because I wanted to see.
I wanted the live feed of it.
Have you guys watched any of the clips at all?
Yeah, I mean, I watched.
I said I watched it.
I watched that episode.
Okay.
But Alex, have you seen anything?
I've seen still images of like maybe three things.
So they did black jeopardy.
Yep.
That's one of the images I saw.
Eddie Murphy playing Tracy Morgan with Tracy Morgan right next to him.
I heard about Tracy Morgan.
I was in tears.
I was.
He played Tracy Morgan better than Tracy Morgan doing Tracy Morgan.
That's the exact headline I saw too.
Yeah.
They brought back deep thoughts with Jack Handy.
Nice.
And that brought me joy.
Yeah.
Um, Miley Cyrus and the lady from Alabama shakes did perform on that show as well.
They did the Prince version of nothing compares to you.
With the lady from Alabama shakes playing the Stratocaster.
And, uh, Miley was in a purple gown.
For that, I'm sure there were some people that were a little confused that that doesn't sound like Shenandoah Connard.
It wasn't her version with the Prince version.
Uh,
Little Wayne get a medley.
And then Paul Simon closed the shit and Paul McCartney closed the show out.
I thought it was a fun show.
Uh, there was some really, I mean, a lot of they did a, uh, they did a Q&A thing.
With the audience or Tina Fey and Amy Polar were having the celebrities get up and ask questions.
Very much enjoyed that.
But I thought it was a good show.
Uh, looking forward your, your next two episodes of SNL.
Uh, let's see March 1st Shane Gillis returns with a tape McCray.
And March 8th will be Lady Gaga and Lady Gaga.
So the Gaga will be doing be the second host this season to do that Alex.
The woman from Alabama shakes his name to Brittany Howard.
Brittany Howard. Thank you. Yes.
So I thought I enjoyed all of it. I really did.
All right, Alex wants to talk a little TGL. I apparently Tiger Woods had a little bit of a faux pas.
It wasn't his faux pas, but I, since we've been on air, we, I believe we also have to give our condolences to his mother who passed.
Oh, I forgot about that. You are correct.
Yes.
So if anybody doesn't know, she's the reason he wears red on Sunday because it's his power color, which is part of his heritage from her background.
Uh, but focusing on the more positive and what Rob alluded to so that we're not burying it too far.
He asked how far he was off during the match on Tuesday, not president's day.
The person at the TV, which they use for aiming if you have not watched.
It's pretty cool. How good that technology is.
They turned around and said 99 assuming he'd be able to see it was definitely not within 100 yards.
So Tiger proceeded to hit a nice smooth wedge.
99 yards because when you're that good, you can do that and wound up 100 yards short because he was a hundred and ninety nine yards.
Yes.
I saw the reactions of his teammates.
Yes.
You're just losing it.
And he was like, this is the most embarrassing thing I've ever done.
I'm going to say something Tiger Woods is the worst part of his team right now from an entertainment standpoint.
Because Tigers haven't fun. He's doing well.
But Kisner and Tom Kim are must watch TV and not just because Kisner is the one that bladed the shot out of the sand bunker like week three that hit the flag.
But Tom Kim talking smack with the audience while they talk smack Sam while he plays electric golf is amazing.
The TGL filling in the gap since we're post football and as Rob mentioned in a dead zone for sports decided for president stay on Monday that they would do a triple header with a match at one a match at three and a match at seven.
And it was amazing and there is a lot of people who weren't seeing this before who are starting to ask questions of like, are they going to build a facility in Dallas?
Are they going to build a facility in L.A.?
Are they going to be build a facility and every every time the answer has been we'll see.
Now the reason that they built it in Jupiter we have talked about are alluded to of the guys that are in the TGL well over half of them live in that area with Tiger and Rory, which is, you know, the executive airport section of Jupiter.
So, which is where the headquarters of the PGA used to be before they moved him here.
But I am very intrigued by the idea of multiple facilities being built around the country.
I know of a certain area in Arlington that would be perfect.
Jerry has more money than since we can get this to work.
Anyways, but it was really, really great to see them.
And I really want to get you guys as opinion on this because as respectfully as I can say, you are older and sports fans.
So you have a more of a tie to tradition than I believe I might.
So one of the big things with the TGL is they had a rule called the hammer, which if one team throws the hammer to like throw down the gauntlet to the other team, the other team has the opportunity to deny.
And give forfeit the whole or they can accept it and it becomes a two point hole.
So it basically just increases the deal and they notice they weren't getting a lot of play through the first month.
I want to say it was about a month leading into president's day.
So what they did was they changed it to like the NFL timeout rule and both teams get three hammers versus it just sitting with the team that's winning.
And it made it really exciting. I still think they could use some adjustments there.
But this has been absolutely amazing to watch.
Real quick thank you out to ticket master and so far reaching out to see if the person who had been engaging with them on social wanted to go to or paid for tickets, let's be honest, to go to matches.
Yes, yes, I really would. However, Jupiter's way way over there.
So if we can get it, I really want and I know that because Tiger and Rory are spearheading this, it's strictly PGA players right now.
But please let me GM the Dallas team because I'm going to tell you right now.
Bracing the Shambo Max Homa.
John daily facts my start. Let's go.
And I'm going to throw Jordan speed in there for one of our straight laced guys because Dallas.
Because I want to be entertaining. I don't even care if my team wins as much.
But I can tell you between John daily and Bryson the Shambo and John daily may not even wear shoes. That's the best part.
I can think of another place they could put it up this direction too.
Oh, I mean, the Omni, a lot of land.
Well, I was actually thinking of just taking over the eSports arena that's just boxing void.
But shout out to TGL, but the question I wanted to ask you guys regarding the tradition is how do you feel about a sport literally changing the rules like halfway through its first season for this thing I'm okay with it because they're experimenting.
They're trying to see what works. Yeah, and it's not sorry.
I would say me personally, I would wait till the seasons over and learn from the first season on anything like that.
That's what I was thinking as well. But I also liked that they waited until everybody basically had their mid season stop almost when they got to this.
So everybody had an even playing field. There was no extra match under the new rules for anybody. So I do give them credit there.
But I really dig how this is going and what I really like about this is I think that people who aren't interested in golf or don't care to sit down and watch for as long as it exists TGL is the perfect medium for them.
And it is so much fun.
I really hope we can get X golf getting some of their.
It's a whole layout because it's insane in the 32nd thing. How was the difference between like regular golf and TGL? What's the big difference?
TGL is on a giant simulator uses crazy new technology as well as creating a sport atmosphere. One of the best ways I ever heard it out shout out to Brad dolkey on good, good golf.
Local guys to Frisco that said it best. It doesn't feel as much like playing golf as much as you're playing a sport based on golf.
When they got to do an actual YouTubers match because the idea is you're trying to out maneuver, whereas with traditional golf, it takes a long time, a lot of focus and your goal is to just be better.
Whereas with TGL, it adds sport level and planning. Rob, if they have any stones, the championship match will be a certain course for Mexico.
See, that's one of the things I would love, but to TGL's credit, all of their holes are their own designs. They don't exist anywhere else in the world.
But I would love to see them play on pirate time. Feel my pain TGL. Oh, come on, tell me you don't want to see like Rory McElroy, one of the greatest players of all time lineup.
Just drill a perfect 340 yard drive only to have the drummer boy knock it 200 yards back back from a banana.
You heard me.
But like it's it's really, really and Don, do you have ESPN plus plus just regular ESPN knowledge.
Okay, you might actually be able to get it on ESPN plus because you don't like to have ESPN plus. I don't believe you have to have a paid account.
You would be limited on what you'd be able to see. I highly recommend it for anybody that hasn't checked it out. It is.
Think about all of the cool parts of golf that you enjoy or the just the skill that goes and level of skill that goes into it.
Now put it in a video game, shake it up in a blender, then turn the blender on and then dump it out and bake it to perfect goodness that's TGL.
And I think he needs to go in cold when they get to the putting.
I don't want to tell him how they do the greens. He needs to see that game.
I want to be there if that's the case. If we're just going to spring it on him. I want to be there when he sees.
I don't even want to run a match. I want to run that tech video. I sent you to him.
By the way, Nathan McKinnon scores the CND is up one nothing.
Let's go into TV news. ABC has renewed Tamer and Hall's talk show for season seven didn't realize she'd been on that show that long.
And I'd forgotten that ABC now has 911. They're doing a crossover with Joshua Jackson's show Doctor Odyssey on March 20th where he's a doctor.
Okay, so the big. Yeah, they're doing a crossover with 911.
We tried the doctor Odyssey watch one or two episodes. I didn't see the big thing.
You want to feel all realized that's Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek.
Oh, you want to see how bad their speed running this. Look at the ads for their big event that's coming up where it's literally jumping sharks.
Uh, and your next 911 spinoff will take place in Nashville. So they're going to try that again.
Okay. That makes sense. They did Austin and that didn't work too well.
CBS has said that Donnie Walberg is going to take his blue bloods character to Boston for a spinoff called Boston blue because they're tired of him not being able to do a New York accent.
Yeah. They've renewed. They've renewed ghosts for two more seasons. They're getting season five and season six.
Okay, my wife for that show.
I've been watching that since beginning like.
There's just a lot going on just now. Okay.
It started in the UK, Alex. That's what I thought. I think they want to make sure this is their new version of the office.
Yeah, I think this. I think it went three series in the UK.
Because my wife has watched both.
Let's see other shows that CBS has renewed tracker, which my wife is kind of in and out on fire country, which she very much enjoys.
All of your current NCIS is so the mother ship origins and Sydney.
Uh, Georgian Mandy's first marriage, Elizabeth and their new Hollywood squares has been renewed, which I've heard is pretty good.
Posted by the Drew Barrymore. Nice.
She did a great sketch on the SNL 50 where they were in a bar and the bartender was Debbie Downer. Oh, no.
Don, did you, what did you think of that sketch?
I like to be down her part.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he walks into the bar and he says, I'd like a drink. She's like, are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me? He's like, you're making fun of me.
She's like, no, I have, I have an eye disease and I can't see you. Are you are you talking to me?
And then she said something like that set him off and he went to Choker.
No, no, no, Bobby.
Well, let's see.
That taxi driver thing on that to get the thing at the beginning. It took a minute.
Fox has renewed the Jennifer Hudson show for a fourth season. So you got that known for you.
HBO Max has renewed the pit for season two. This is the show with Noah Wiley, which I will not hate on because it is allegedly filmed at one of the facilities that is affiliated with my company.
Nice.
We have a facility that's used not it's not only an active facility, but it's used for other things allegedly one of the exam rooms that they don't use anymore was used for a scene in Stranger Things season two.
So and a lot of people in the industry are saying this is the closest to actual the way things actually go in the yard.
It's in real time, which I think the whole season takes place over one shift.
You think that's a max, right?
It's on max. Yes, sir.
Okay.
They have canceled bookie after two seasons.
I wanted to like that because you know my degeneracy, but I couldn't even get started.
Season two of the last of us officially, we knew it was in April, but now we now have a date April 13th.
That is a Sunday.
And season four of industry will feature one max Mingela.
Oh.
Hulu has renewed the Sterling K brown paradise for season two.
Okay.
And has that even started?
Yeah.
I thought that was still leading up.
And ABC is going to start showing season one in April.
So if you don't have Hulu, you can still check it out.
Let's see NBC peacock.
They've renewed the Reba Mac entire happy place for season two.
I've heard a lot of good things about that one.
It's Reba. She's queen. She knew what she wanted.
Apparently she has a restaurant in Tulsa where you can sit in a replica of her chair from the voice.
Yeah.
I've had friends that have taken their pictures in it.
That's cool.
Netflix has renewed exo comma kitty for season three.
And they're turning.
Now, Don, did you see extraction with Chris Hemsworth?
Did you see either one of those?
There's two of them.
Alex has.
What's that one about?
It's like a, it's an action film.
Think of it as in the vein of a mercenaries black hawk down, but it's more of getting a asset out.
Rather than recovery.
I mean, I am DB it real fast.
They're turning it into a series, but not with Chris Hemsworth.
It's with Liam Hemsworth.
It's actually with Omar Psi.
Oh, okay.
I endorse that Omar Psi is badass.
Yeah.
Because I saw the headline.
I was like, oh.
And then I said, I was like, woo.
See, I was making the low hanging fruit of everybody getting mad about Liam Hemsworth having a different Netflix show.
Nickelodeon has picked up the follow up to Avatar, the last airbender.
It is called Avatar Seven Havens.
Okay.
Paramount Plus has announced this week that part two of season five of Yellowstone will begin March the 16th.
Okay.
That could be going up against the tournament.
Yeah, it will.
Because that starts on the 19th.
Yeah.
And second part of season five.
Yes.
I thought they.
How they ended the last.
I.
Well, remember that.
What is the answer to all of your questions?
Yeah.
I thought that was the last season.
So everything was saying it was the last season.
We had talked about the fact that they have made plans to continue on.
With certain personnel.
Yeah.
I.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cross crossovers from that.
By the way, check out this last week's episode of Matt May Heroes where I guessed it and we talked about days been confused.
I did not realize until doing my research that one of the one of the the the nicest of the bullies is actually rip on Yellowstone.
Yep.
He's full blown ginger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have PBS news this week.
They have renewed Miss Scarlett for season six, but Felix Scott will not be returning as Patrick Nash.
His character was sent to Australia to do work because he was trying to avoid prison.
So it's apparently a very popular show on the TV on DVD and Blu-ray this coming Tuesday.
Doctor Who the Sylvester McCoy complete season two.
That's my back in my day when I watched Doctor Who when it was on PBS.
The documentary now the complete series.
If you have not seen this.
This was an IFC series where I just I always forget his name.
He played a he was on SNL.
He played Vincent Price.
Oh, I don't know who that is.
Yeah, me neither.
Bill Hader.
Bill Hader.
Vincent Price.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
But he and some of his friends were reenacting documentaries.
And that's what documentary now exclamation point is.
Oh, Helen Mirren's the host.
Yeah.
Jane the Virgin the complete series and collection two of MXC Alex.
The best worst show ever.
I love that show so much.
I never tell you why that is such a crazy note for me.
We have talked about it before.
I watched the original before MXC was a thing to catch these castle.
Yeah.
And now it's time for stuff we watch this week.
Movie edition.
I did not watch any movies this week.
So although I got a couple in the mail I'm very excited.
Don, do you want to jump in?
Well, since we were doing mostly the white loads.
I didn't really get into movies.
But I did see one which was the old one from 2009.
The thing Ryan's called the tournament where these hitman
get into like a tournament like a hunger games kind of thing.
No.
Yeah.
From 2009.
So it's an older one.
How the tournament.
The tournament.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Basically they do like the tournaments and they know they're in there.
And they put it.
There's a big cash prize where all these assassins are put into a city
and real life city and boom and boom.
And they basically the last one wins gets the big cash prize.
And then.
Oh, I've.
I've.
I've seen another vision of this from the UK.
Yeah.
Bing Rames Robert Carlisle Kelly.
Yeah.
Liam.
Craig Conway.
John Lynch Rachel Grant.
Scott.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By Scott man who did the movie fall a couple of years ago.
I mean, he did heist in 2015.
I you know what?
Where did you watch this Don?
I'm very interested.
It was like on either.
I think show.
I thought it on stars on the stars and stars.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was on one of the movie channels we have.
That's kind of cool.
That's interesting.
And they have to.
And they have to kill all the other people have been 24 hours.
Yep.
Yeah.
I think I think you need to watch.
You know, I think that would be a good double feature to do with the.
The movie jackpot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have to look it up because it's it's similar to the tournament.
But they made it in the UK like 15 years ago.
And it was all these hired killers that wound up in a Russian roulette tournament
that they didn't realize right off the back.
Okay.
You see the new dancing action figure yet.
I'm gonna tell just released.
You mean.
The one that you can't really see.
Yeah.
So since we last were on air, I think I actually have three movies.
Go follow in all of this.
Did I mention the gorge to either of you?
Yes.
Yes you did.
It is not what I expected at all.
And was still good.
Usually I get frustrated by that.
But allow me to say.
I thought it was weird to have a movie about two snipers.
That's in the trailer.
That's not spoiler.
That's not what I was expecting to use.
Be released on Valentine's Day.
But it was adorable.
You know what else was once released on Valentine's Day.
I want to the lambs.
But what I'm saying is I think.
Well, he was probably working at the theater at the time.
The theater.
Yeah.
Which is all of those stories.
Now watch the story.
You're watching the world.
It's on full TV.
The same place where you would watch Ted Lasso if you had it.
Anyways.
I know.
It's a chance to bring up Chelsea and all that.
Yeah, I know.
The other one is I finally watched a Nosferatu, like in-depth Nosferatu.
And I will say this.
It is one of those movies that is always entertaining
when Sean and I try to watch it,
because she was snoring before the first hour ended.
Oh wow.
What a shocker.
And I loved it.
It was brilliantly done, but you have,
it's one of those you have to pay attention
to every single moment in my new detail.
It is visually amazing and it's,
but along with the gorge,
I have two 2025 movies on my list already.
The other one,
Denathives to Pantera.
Oh.
It is not as good as the first one,
because you don't, you don't have the,
the shootout and shock.
It feels like it's just as quality of a movie
as the first one,
but it's got real pacing issues.
I loved it,
but it doesn't hold a candle to the first one
that knew how to get that thriller to action aspect
where Pantera is mostly just suspense.
So it'll start with some action
whole long time of suspense
and then some action at the end.
And it's really, really good.
I'm so glad they're making a third.
And the third one isn't development.
Where did you see the,
where did you see the second one at?
Part two.
And theater.
Prime video.
What's on prime?
Oh, probably rental at this point.
I believe it is still rental,
but I'm trying to remember
who Gerard Butler's deal is with,
whether it's universal or somebody else.
Probably because it's on prime, it's probably MGM.
Okay, well, what I was thinking was
when it would become available to stream
without paying for it,
whether it would be on peacock or max or,
because I don't know who G bass is signed with
because I remember every studio looking at it
and going, sure, Jerry,
just go make whatever you want
and he's had a few hits off of G bass.
So, well, speaking of Amazon,
it was announced today they have officially taken over
all of the rights to the bond franchise.
The broccoli's are backing away
and a lot of people are losing their minds.
It's like, let's take a wait and see.
Yeah, see what they do.
It's not the first time that people have experimented.
There was a young James Bond animated series for God's sake.
Just everybody be cool, all right?
Now, to also clarify,
Amazon does put out a lot of movies,
but they've put out some really quality ones.
So Lazerob said, tap the brakes.
If you really think that they're going to ruin the franchise,
I suggest you go watch something like air
and realize they do know some people
that know what they're doing.
Reacher, I was going to let that go
because it was a TV show.
And it's, it's third season started.
Look what they do with Jack Ryan
and you're getting a movie with that too.
Yeah, it's not the, and the sky is not falling people.
Let's just find out.
There's plenty of other things for you
that I legitimately complain about.
This is stupid.
Yeah, plus they were the first ones
to have all of the films in 4K.
So true.
Shout out to the Baptist
with Conclave taking four awards home
including Best Picture.
Oh, really?
Yep, I didn't catch that.
Yep.
I just love the movie, but let's go.
We have more casting for Masters of the Universe.
Oh, no, I know this one.
John Zhu Zhang from the brother's son is Ramman.
Sishir Zimada, formerly of SNL, is Susie.
I don't know who that heck that's supposed to be.
And Christian Vunapola from Queen Pins is Hussein.
Ooh, a odd name for a character.
I'm wondering if this is going to be
that our world set up the way the original movie was.
Well, I've seen pictures from the set
and the guy playing Prince Adam.
He's wearing like a, he's in our world.
He's wearing like a pink button down shirt
and he's being arrested.
So.
And also Cynthia Areva will be hosting the Tonys this year.
Excellent choice.
Very timely.
She is also going to be playing the Jesus
at the Hollywood Bowl in Jesus Christ superstar.
Interesting.
I personally have no issue with this.
No, I mean, it's one of those where it's like you want talent
when it comes to the bowl, but she's has talented
as anybody right now for that.
So moving your releases in places you get moving your releases
this week, a movie that has one of the best taglines
I've seen in years.
The monkey.
Whose tagline is everybody's dies.
And that's up.
Okay.
When twin brothers, Bill and Hal find their father's old
monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths start.
The siblings decide to throw the toy away and move on with their
lives, growing apart over the years.
Based on a Stephen King, sorry, just to remind everybody,
this is not based on monkey shine.
Yeah, not the same.
So June, Diane, Raphael should be okay.
We'll see.
Also this week, a movie called Cleaner with Daisy Ridley and
Clive Owen, criminal activities, a cactus, hijack a
gala, taking 300 hostages, one extremist plans mass murder
as a message to the world.
An ex soldier turned window cleaner, now works to rescue
the hostages.
This is directed by Martin Campbell.
Oh, that's a, that's a triumvirate that gets an auto play.
We also have the unbreakable boy this week, a young boy with a
rare brittle bone disease and autism.
But what makes him truly unique is his joyous, funny life,
affirming world view that transforms and unites everyone around
him, Zach Levi, Megan Fahey and Jacob LaValle in this one.
We have X husbands, we have a Griffin done siding, everybody.
Griffin done Rosanna Arquette and Richard Benjamin.
When Peter Pierce flies the taloom, crashing his son, Nick's
bachelor party, Peter realizes he's not the only pierced man in
crisis.
It's called X husbands.
And also this week, unbroken, one word, capital, you capital B.
This is a documentary of basically this deals with a survivor
of the Holocaust and answering questions from people.
Ooh, this is going to get heavy.
Yeah.
Uh, poor.
Do what?
But it's important.
Yes.
Movies on DVD and Blu-ray, your 4k releases this week, you're
getting Amadeus in 4k.
Uh, if you remember, you remember movie, the movie body parts,
that's getting a 4k release, uh, cruising with Al Pacino.
The forbidden kingdom is getting a steelbook and 4k looking for
Mr. Goodbar from the 60s.
The McCulloch in my girl, Stephen King's graveyard shift and
virtuosity.
How dare you?
I love virtuosity.
I do not care what anybody says.
This is, this is one of the ones.
Remember when we were talking about the project of defend yourself on bad
movies you love.
Virtuosity was right on the list with Hudson Hawk.
Uh, let's see, uh, Criterion collection this week.
Chronos and a movie called performance starring Mick Jagger.
Interesting.
Very controversial from 1970.
Uh, I do want to send a quick shout out before we move to the other side of
the coin to AT&T.
Last Friday, we, uh, we lost power in the middle of the day.
Oh, wow, and when we lost power, we lost internet.
Like I tried to use apps couldn't, my wife couldn't get on the internet on
her phone, but our phones worked, but we couldn't do anything with apps.
So we were, and it was, everything was down for like four hours.
So I was pretty much done for the day, but I got, I got stir crazy because
there was literally nothing I could do.
We had no lights.
I had, I had nothing.
There's no, you know, so I just went for a walk and my phone was working fine.
It turns out we did lose internet at the same time we lost power.
And AT&T unprovoked gave us a credit for one day's worth of internet service.
That's part of their new AT&T guarantee.
Oh, wow.
Okay, not out to that.
And now this.
It is time for the chief popcaster one stop shop.
We're all things pertaining to the world of professional wrestling.
A very interesting headline hit today.
TKO who owns WWE and UFC have bought the rights to Lucha Underground and are planning a revival.
I wonder what could have prompted that.
I, you know what?
I never got to watch Lucha Underground because I never was had a cable system that had Lray.
Yeah.
So I might go back and start because there's a lot of people that were in that thing.
That'll be a lot.
I want to clarify, I watched Lucha Underground.
I want to take you in the way back machine because it's the only way I've ever been able to do it.
Picture the craziest high flying stuff you've ever seen in a Lucha match.
And add it tell a novella between.
Yeah, basically what it is.
It was awesome.
It was incredible.
So it was the first place we I saw Penta and that was also where I discovered Penta Escura and God do I want that mask.
But and Helico Ray Mysterio was the big star to begin.
You had EO skies, first American matches.
You had Chelsea Green, Salina DeLorenta.
You the big ones was that was where Brian Cage first started taking care of himself and came out like.
Gargantuan and it happens to be the best work in my opinion of Jeff Cobb's career as the monster metanza.
I miss I highly recommend it.
TNA headlines, unbreakable will be April 17th at the Cox Pavilion in Vegas.
So right before all the mania stuff starts, they'll be doing their show at UNLV.
They're actually live tonight and there's a full-sale university.
We had briefly talked about this.
Could you reiterate what what the timing is on that show?
It's the 17th, which would be that Wednesday.
Yes, I'm trying to look.
So the 17th, yes, it is running exactly at the same time as blood sport will be at the palms.
So so I won't be there.
And in story from last week's episode, Nick Nemeth accidentally super kicked Santino into oblivion and is now suspended for four weeks.
WWE news, your next Hall of Fame inductee has been announced.
It is the Michelle McCool rumors of your next ones to be announced being demolition as they have signed a legends deal.
I hope so.
Demolition absolutely deserves it.
Oh, yeah, they do.
But here's my question for you guys.
Do you do the original demolition or do you do all members?
Well, how many were there three of these four or four?
Okay.
Technically five, if you include, well, did Ellery ever have demolition or just Mr. Fuji?
It was just Mr. Fuji.
Ellery.
So technically that would be five, wouldn't it?
Well, if you include him, yes, yeah, it's Mr. Fuji.
I think you I would want him included Fuji vice.
So they go and what about the guy who played repo man too?
Should he be in also he was an original member of demolition?
Should he be in twice as repo man and also I don't believe repo man is in.
That do you think we do you think he should be also in this repo man?
Oh God, no, no, being very far so fine by me.
All right, boys, we have new titles.
I won't even ask.
I'm going to show them to you.
Okay, let's see.
These are your brand new.
Should we put it in allegedly on this?
Oh, no, this is this is these are happening because I've got the pictures got triple
I just hands off.
Oh, it's been confirmed.
Okay.
Don't see anything confirmed.
But that's why are screens.
What?
Click share.
Share screen.
This one share.
There we go.
These are your WWE ID championships, Don.
ID for these are part of the ID program or they have selected people on the
Indies that they will be mentoring and watching towards a WWE career.
Think of a legends deal without being a legend, but they kind of get first right
a refusal on signing them if they go to a competitor.
I mean, I'm not a fan of these times at all.
I it's it's just getting the logo out there at this point.
It's something to see on the Indies so that they can claim their foothold.
I don't really care.
I already think there's too many belts on too many companies.
Let me know when you're what you're going to do with the evolved belt.
That's what I want to know.
That kicks off in a couple of weeks of my thing with with ID like the guy that
Booker T picked from his from ROW.
I saw it because he had his ID match on on on reality wrestling this past weekend.
Very generic promo stuff.
Like, but isn't that kind of the point though?
You're getting people that are not there yet.
Well, we'll keep an eye on it.
Congratulations, Zoe Stark is your new number one contender for the Women's Speed
Championship.
I forgot that was a thing don't go go go go go go go one one.
Goldberg says his retirement match will be sometime this summer.
He announced that on his podcast to do borrow Don's phrase.
Remind me not to watch.
Yeah, and this next piece may be something you might be interested Alex.
Do you like the universal studios?
I do.
Do you like the Halloween horn.
I am a fan.
Do you like the professional wrestling always?
The Wyatt six will be getting a attraction at universal Halloween horn.
Tonight's this year.
I saw it's to be a rebranding of one of the houses.
Yes, thoughts, you know what?
It makes sense.
I dig it.
It's it's because they have so many houses that they do every year.
It makes sense to latch on to something like the Wyatt six to have something that
is current is on TV in people's purview.
Because interestingly enough, we haven't had a ton of stuff for them to pull off of,
but when you think about it, universal peacock, where the police still are,
there's a very easy bridge and they're on Smackdown now.
Yep.
So a couple of Smackdown notes.
Nope.
Don, what was that you lean forward?
Yeah, that's a right.
And I, you know, that it's just a haunted house done.
It's not a right house, but still.
So let's say they break up as a thing six months from now,
or they write them off into different things, that's still going to be the
wide house for how many years, you know, before they rename it.
They do it for like a month every year.
Yeah, they do it every year.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Yeah, it's not a permanent fixture.
Okay, okay.
I see the Halloween season.
Okay, okay.
If I call it horror nights, because it's a limited time thing.
Kind of like you did your six flags here.
Okay, right fast.
Same thing.
Um, thank you, Vick Joseph for saying Los Garzes.
I appreciate that very much.
And mellow don't miss that happened.
I left very, very much.
I was just like as someone who can appreciate a dad joke,
as I have many, many times, even on this show, that one may be grown.
Mellow is just whatever is missing away from being in a big program.
If this stupid pun is something that gets him to a big program, I'm all for it.
Because there are very few people on the planet who goes like him in the ring,
but you need something to push him up to that next.
And Miz is a guy that can help with that because he's done it exactly.
Every time the ICT title looks like it's floundering, they put it on the Miz and it
bumps right back up.
And shout out to Kroger for having their bite to get one on 12 packs of soda and
having the mug zero sugar in stock.
From raw, we got our first look at this year's WrestleMania belt, looking pretty
sharp, liked it a lot, wouldn't own it, but looked pretty good.
Cost wise, um, Cole called Carlito, Carly, that he, I'm sorry, the unscripted
moment of him in the back is the funniest thing I've seen in months where it was
like, okay, and Raquel just pushes him.
All right.
Uh, when they showed the footage of Bayley from the All Star game and it said Bayley,
WWE legend, I'm not quite there yet.
I'll give it to her.
Not yet.
Monday, just too early to call her that.
Was there a gamer?
Yes.
I think the bigger argument there is what the qualifier to a legend is.
And the only thing I think she might be missing is a time frame aspect.
That's my point.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
She will get the whole game wrong.
But she right now, she will be in the hall fame.
She's a green slammer all that and then the first three tires, 10 years from now,
Bill call their legend, you know, that like Trish or whatever they call their
her legend now and all that sense of the retired now.
But they'll be, you know, someday.
Well, Trish is actually has a match at elimination chain.
Yeah, it gives a point though, but they still call her legend.
I mean, Trishie time.
Oh God.
Trishie time.
I that one I've grown that that one I grown that very heartily.
Question before I say anything else, do you have a Chad Gable note in the run sheet?
I do not.
Okay.
So whenever we wrap WWE, let me know I got something.
A couple of weeks ago, we talked about, are they turning,
I forgot Mark's last name from Davis, Mark Davis, we're turning him to Wheeler, Uda.
I'm seeing the same thing as now carrying cross going to be Sean Spears.
I don't, honestly, I wonder and allow me to give you a multi level on this.
What if Sean, I'm sorry, I just, I just had a thought.
I'm put a pin in it because we're going to come back to it.
Okay, I was going to say what if Sean Spears is the one training up for
Kareens Disciples, but I'll go for it.
I got to put a pin in it because we got to get there.
I just kind of answered my own question.
That's going to come up here in a little while.
Okay.
Do you want to talk about your Gable thing now since we're talking about raw?
That's what I was hoping for before we got too far away from it.
We have strong indication of who Chad Gable was sent to by Dominic Mysterio.
This could be a spoiler.
So I am speaking very slowly and purposefully in case anybody wants to take a break in three, two.
So the very key point that was made was learning the dark arts of Lucha Libre.
There happens to be somebody who is expected to reappear with the company,
whose gym they own with their very Lucha friendly wife called the dark arts gym.
Now we don't know which A or M before the last name of black, it will be.
But every indication is that Alistair slash Malachai black will be your teacher of dark
arts for Chad Gable.
Okay.
I'm interested.
You have my attention.
It gets Alistair black back where he belongs.
I'm excited.
Vengeance day.
Is he is he WWE bound for sure?
Do you know what I don't know if you can say for sure because crazy or things have happened?
But it's one of those where I'd be willing to bet a lot of money on it.
There's somewhere else I'd like to see him though.
See who Alistair black go on.
I want him on Smackdown number one that he can hang out with his wife.
But number two, have him and a stable take on the Wyatt six.
Interestingly enough, I wonder if there's going to be some level of that where it's more
along the lines of him playing his own mind games with the Wyatt six by himself.
Well, I mean, you could you could put his wife with him and then you've got the foil
for Nikki Kross.
If you're not, but I think we already have hurt earmarked for somewhere else.
Okay.
Yeah.
He if he goes to WWE, I understand his wife's there and stuff like that.
Why else do you think that he jumped shift?
Do you think the thing with him at the House of Black was his contract right now?
He did not renew.
I mean, why did he not renew and go to the condition Alex?
You go.
Yeah.
I want you to think about how big of a star, Alistair Black was in NXT to being the absolute
destruction of other wrestlers and how well booked he was.
That was under triple H who sees gigantic dollar signs and here's nothing but cash registers
and he's not wrong.
So why would he not go back to the guy to where he has a always wanted to perform be to work
for the guy who thought the highest of him and see to be with his friends and family.
And my only thing is that, you know, he got to the high roster, but then he kind of his career.
Yeah, but that was that was a Vince thing.
Okay.
That was that.
Okay.
So in the way back machine on that one.
Yeah.
Paul Heyman was running raw at the time and Bishoff was running Smackdown during that weird pandemic
error.
Yeah.
The Pauls tend to think alike.
So Heyman wanted Alistair Black on raw to use him as a new talent because even Paul Heyman
made the statement he would have Alistair Black at some point go on to main event
WrestleMania against Brock Lesnar.
That was a direct quote from Paul Heyman and triple H loved the idea.
So why wouldn't you give the Alistair Black versus Gunther tomorrow.
I'd like to make a non sequencer, please go on hashtag Mark Messier for McNeedle.
Um, no, vengeance day was a thing and new North American champion of the women's division
and one Stephanie Vickair.
If you make a mistake, a future X Mrs.
Barnell, just let's talk about this new faction of Dion Lennox, say,
Kwan Sugars, Cutler James and Osiris Griffin.
I have a couple of questions.
One of them I answered to myself just a moment ago.
First and foremost, they need a mouthpiece.
Let that mouthpiece be Malachai Black.
You want me to give you a different idea?
Go ahead.
Key Mallister Black separate from that.
Let Malcolm Bivens be their mouthpiece.
Isn't he still in the UW?
I don't know that he's even under contract anymore.
Okay.
Because he's been used for anything and God knows how long.
And this does feel a bit like Aces and Aces.
So should there be a TNA contingent?
I could roll with that because let me just say the rollout that they used it,
Vengeance Day.
The crowd told you exactly how well it went with who are you and who are you?
To NXT this week.
Well,
Moose showed up on WWE programming, which you have been calling for.
Well, not for a while.
I did for a moment.
You had been calling for it.
That is a fact.
Yes.
And this horse fight.
Yeah.
I did like the comparison that Moose put on X Twitter between the two of them.
I didn't see this.
They're both Nigerian.
Okay.
I was going to want to they both have belts that have X's on them.
That is also fair.
But I was wondering if he was going to highlight their, let's call it demographic journey.
I think that was part of like there was like four or five things.
Yeah, the first one was there both Nigerian.
The fourth one was they both have belted X's on them.
And Moose has gotten better.
Yeah, but still the, I, it's a contest between him and Lashley for who has the worst beer
and wrestling to me.
Ricky Stark says now Ricky Saints.
So adjust your roster accordingly.
That's not as bad of a name.
That's not as bad of a switch though.
Yeah, but we all know who he is.
That they can lean into that without having to worry about the branding.
Yeah, and we're going to see where that goes.
So a W double or nothing will be May 25th, not in Vegas.
It will be at the desert diamond arena in Glendale, Arizona.
I liked that place that they had dynamite in last week.
Did you, did you notice that we had a friend of the show working security during that first segment?
I did not.
That was Kevin behind, man, that was a great facility.
Yeah, no, and they did a really great job in Chicago coming up.
I'm very excited about the NGM theater.
I think what it's called.
Yes.
Oh, Grand Slam Australia was a thing.
Keith and entryway.
I love that entryway because I think that entryway is the perfect mix of what Alex likes
and what I like because you didn't have the tunnels.
Yes, but you had heels and faces coming out from either side.
Yes, I am, I am fully endorsing that because the tunnels have ran beyond their scope.
I love Kenny Omega's new entrance.
It's a different song and everything.
No, no, no, that's like a new song.
Right, but no, no, no, it's not a new song.
It's the same song.
They're starting it at a different point.
So instead of having the, the, the quiet intro, it just jumps in to the
and how have you gone back to look at the new day's entrance yet?
I have, but I don't recognize it.
It looks cool.
No, no, it looks great.
It plays well with the music, but I don't know what the reference is.
I would be guessing purely buddy Matthews injured his ankle.
That's kind of a joke though, but I mean, he got his wife got to be there.
They got their honeymoon.
But did you see how he allegedly injured his ankle?
I just, I read about it the next day.
So she wore the vest as a tribute to him.
He did the, and it has a couple of times did the stomp, the brutality stomp
and hit the gap between the pads.
Oh dear, and rolled his ankle before the match started.
Hashtag and new women's world's champion.
And can I just say as we get into dynamite, Tony storm.
Yeah.
Oh.
You want to talk about a promo?
That promo last night was world class.
Top tier, baby.
The fact that she constantly brings in Wendy Richter, it kills me.
And it just a blatant plug right in the middle of it for the Mildred Bark movie.
Don, you're on the show.
You can't plug your ears and pretend like we're spoiling things.
Why?
I don't want to hear what I spoiler.
It's not a spoiler.
She cut a promo, Don, and it's a great promo.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I mean, I want to see when it happens.
So get happened last night when I watch it.
Oh, okay.
I watch it.
Does hook in a sponsorship from Carl's Jr. or Hardee?
I don't know, but I remember the same conversation about on the back of his trunks.
It looks like no, no, I know exactly what you're talking about.
It's actually like a jack o'linter.
But it's a star and it's got a face in it, but the star is in the eyes.
I'm just saying it's a red hook thing of the chant of meat forever made me go.
Okay, also the booking of the end of that match.
We can't talk about it because Don hasn't watched it.
I'm not going to say specifically what happened.
Okay.
Now I'm good, but the way that they booked it to protect Big Bill while giving Hobbes the win.
I was great with that.
It wasn't shot well, though.
It was shot terribly.
And that the finishing maneuver was not great, but how they told the story because Bill was stuck.
I really appreciated.
You're good.
Speaking of Big Bill,
a ring of honor air global wars on Monday.
And you and I talked about this the other day.
Yes, we know.
Over is that man in Australia tried everything he could to get heel heat and couldn't do it.
Technically, when you're seven feet tall, you're over a whole lot of things.
Well, you can't teach that.
Nope.
And did you see who Bandito had as his partners for the six man on that night?
I'm sorry.
I can't even say the name.
No outrunners.
Yes, I loved it so much.
And the full masks and everything.
Oh, it was brilliant.
Oh, it was beautiful.
That show didn't need to be an hour and a half.
No, not at all.
And tonight's episode was actually taped last night.
So it's not like a week later, at least.
And they've already taped collision, which I'm not sure.
Am I missing something that's going on this weekend?
I just genuinely think that they're giving up on the live shows.
Because I don't think that there's anything that was, I don't know.
It was just weird to me.
No, all you have is the return to hockey and basketball.
So maybe there's just some kind of press for that.
Yeah, but it's not intended, but you'd still, I don't know.
I just work here.
We're looking for logic, but dirt, they're not anything else you boys want to talk about.
All right, let's do the plugs.
Here's a QR code over there.
You should scan it and this still isn't correct, is it?
No, your point right out here for me or you had it right first.
Oh, this is, yeah, okay, perfect.
You know, I, I, we had a discussion.
I thought it was backwards.
No, you got it.
