Season 17 Premiere NFL AFC East Preview & The Odyssey Is a Masterpiece | Clubhouse Podcast

It is 08:00 on the East Coast. It is 05:00 on the West Coast. It is the July 16 in the year of our Lord 2026, season 17 episode one. 774 times you have been welcomed to the clubhouse podcast. You're a one stop shop for all things sports, entertainment, pop culture, pro wrestling live every Thursday night normally. Welcome. My name is Rob. I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast, and been a heck of a day. If you know, you know. Don out on assignment this week in the great city of Houston. That way from me is my cohost and a man who has a very large American shirt on. But I I love that this came in. I am very grateful to have the opportunity, but my custom Mexico jersey, which I was gonna debut at host city just to get a reaction from anybody I could. But because we do cover sports, pop culture, and professional wrestling, I figured I'd hit the two out of three and have a custom El Grande Americano team Mexico shirt on. But you know what? We're gonna save the reveal on the back for when we maybe do a live show sometime. I just got your text message just now. So No worries. We start our ascent towards the NFL season, but we're gonna get to that here in just a minute because it's gonna take some time. Now this year, we're doing things a little different. A little smarter. Two years ago, we tried to do all eight divisions in one night. I don't have that level of energy at this point. Last year, we did AFC and then NFC, and that was just as exhausting. So this year, what we're going to do starting tonight, we're gonna go one division in the NFL at a time, but always like we've done it before, we will go alphabetically. Mhmm. It will be the AFC East. Yep. We'll hit it in the order that we know so that nobody can accuse us of playing favorites until we make our picks, in which case then we will really be playing favorites. Trimmed trimmed up the beard a little bit, did you? I got in a fight with a weed whacker. It's hot in Texas. Did get a did you get a haircut too, is it just growing? No. No. It's just out. Okay. I don't have enough hair to brag about, so, you know, I got that going for me. Let's get into said AL East. See what I did there. It went from AFC to AL. It's alphabetical. The Toronto Blue Jays are 12 games back. They are six eight below 500 because we are in the all star break just now coming out of it because we have Mets Phillies on the worldwide leader currently. Yep. You're up to nothing, though. I give it time. Top of seven. Give it time. I'm always up for a Philly loss. Well, give it a minute because I I love Devin Williams. I want him to get back to who he is, but who he has been is not good. Toronto was a half game back of Baltimore. Orioles are a game and a half back on Boston. Red sox are seven back on the Yankees. Yankees now three back on Tampa Bay, but the Yankees have won four in a row. So they're they're hot on the heels there. In the AL Central, the Kansas City Royals, they're still pretty bad. They're 13 back. They are, six and a half back of Detroit. Tigers now two and a, three and a half back on Minnesota. Twins are now three back on the still tied White Sox in Cleveland who are on a combined seven game heater. In the AL West, the Los Angeles angels of Anaheim, Orange County, California, America, North America, Earth, Milky Way, universe, multiverse. They are 11 and a half back. They're three and a half back of homeless vagabonds. Homeless vagabonds have dropped nine in a row. I'm starting to wonder if it's almost intentional at this point because they go hot, cold, hot, cold, like a normal bad team. And then they're like, wait. We're winning too much. Let's take a couple weeks off. Alvarez just went yard. It's three nothing, by the way. Ah, Frankie. Yeah. Those are the a's that I know. Almost vagabonds are now five back on Houston, Houston, Houston. They're a game and a half back on Seattle. Seattle now a game and a half back on Texas. So Texas, the rangers now have sole possession of first place as we go into the second half of the season. And the biggest change that we have is what's the problem with the rangers historically, Rob? Pitching. And they have found a real gem that we happen to get to see in Frisco as their new closer in Jacob Latts who is lighting it up. So oh, by the way, we wanna welcome everybody joining us on Facebook live. We now have access to the sunset lounge Facebook live feed. Awesome. So hello to everybody out there on the live of Facebook. In the a in the NL West, the Colorado Rockies, you could put a pin in it. Giants now 19 and a half back. They're three back of San Diego. Podgers are a game back of Arizona. Even though they're on a four game heater, they're still 11 and a half back of the Dodgers who dropped three in a row. Because the Dodgers. The the Misty it's one of those things. Everybody on the planet hates it. Misty loves it because it's her team, and they have just been figuring out how to take the mistake that was the the Bobby Bonilla deal and turn it into gold. In the NL Central, the reds are still 15 and a half out. They are six behind Don's Pirates. Pirates want a three game heater. Yeah. So and they're seven and three in their last 10. Well, it helps when you have Paul Skeens pitching in the middle of that. There's still a game back on the cardinals. Cardinals now three and a half back on the cubs and Milliwok Hay after dropping three in a row, but they still hold a five game lead in that division. And in the only division that matters, the NL East, the Mets are still 16 back. The bottom three of these five are on a combined nine game skid. You've lost three in a row. You're eight back on Washington who's lost three in a row. They're four back by Marlins who have lost three in a row. Marlins now two back on the Phillies who are on a two game win streak, and they're still two games back on my beloved braves as we get into the second half of this season. Let us now get into North America's favorite game show. What is did Don send you his number? He did not. Okay. So it's basically me against the world. What is the run differential for the Colorado Rockies? You know, it was a big shock last time because it had gone all the way down to, I wanna say, negative 80. And they've only had a few games since then because of how the all star break falls. So I'm gonna go with, like, minus 83. Let me preface this by saying Colorado only stays North America's favorite game show by one run. Wow. They are currently rivaled by the Kansas City Royals. Oh, that's that's expected at this point. The Colorado Rockies are thirty nine and fifty nine. It's 28, 3,500 at the three ninety eight win percentage. They're 22 and a half back, but they're only three back on the Giants. Well, they've been playing good baseball lately. So Twenty two and twenty five at home, seventeen and thirty four on the road. So they're 500 on the road. Or actually, no. They're three thirty three on the road. Yeah. One out of three. Four and six in their last 10. Colorado currently at a run differential of minus 89. Oh, it was worse than I thought. Yeah. But Kansas City had a minus 88. I mean, come on. That's that's nutso. Yeah. It is. Alright. I I on one hand, I hate that we're talking about the NFL already. Believe me, I hate it as well, but there's so much to cover. But before we do, I do wanna say three words. Football is life. Did you read the did you read? That's literally why I chose to wear this was the post I prompted earlier today saying we are shifting from football is life to football is life. But what I figured we would do is do a quick, overview from last year. Give us a little bit of flowers. Let us know. But I we do actually keep track every season based on how we pick based on the totals. Now we use an expected total typically from, one of the establishments in Vegas, but since we're starting earlier this year, I'm having to get a little bit creative. So we are using the foremost sports analysts and statistics bible for the NFL in the sharp statistics for ours. So it's gonna be a little bit tougher. But the way we do do this over last year is whoever has the best pick gets one point. Alright. If you get the over under correct, that's one point. If you call it exactly, that's a bonus point. Have a mix Let of me let me because I'm I'm a little fuzzy on a piece of that. Okay. How does one get the over under right? Because every line that is set is at a half game. So you have your number of wins. Now some might argue like, well, what if they go ten, six, and one? Is that 10 and a half? No. Because it's based purely on the wins. The ties do not count. You really have to go over that wind total or under that wind total and be correct on the direction. So for example, just as a tease, last year, Buffalo was at 12 and a half, and we all thought that was a pretty solid number. Don and I had predicted 13 and the 13, which would be the over. They hit 12, and it was the under. So the only person who got a point there was Rob. Even in that in that team, we only wound up with one point in there. But going through all of the teams, we wound up with a final tally where each one of us averaged one correct plus per team. So we each were so spot on that we earned more than a point per team because our final scores, one of us had 35. Oh. Another of us had 34, and the third person also had 34. It was the tightest race we've ever had. That's outstanding. Rob, would you like to guess who had 35? Me. You're correct. He bought his life. But here's the interesting thing that happened in there and why we make sure that we do it this way. Because even if you get a few wrong because teams have injuries or different things like that, if you get it exactly correct, you get that extra bonus point. And Rob hit that bonus point more than Don or I, which pulled him ahead. But we all did really, really well. So to tease the AFC East from last year, couple of the notes we had, they finished at twelve and five. So they just barely didn't hit the over. Josh Allen, I predicted was going to be at an MVP level again, but because they did nothing at receiver that it was going to be bad. I want you to put a pin in that because there is a stat to blow the rest of your air off. So that that felt dirty. That felt dirty, and I apologize for that. But the Bills also had the fifth easiest schedule, which is why Don and I thought they were gonna do a bit more. But they did have the worst rest advantage or one of the worst rest advantages at twenty ninth out of 32 in the league. Now we're gonna get into rest advantage with a few different teams. What that means is did team A have more time to prepare for their match than team b? Now a team coming off of a Thursday night game would get a couple extra days of rest if the game is on Sunday the next week. Whereas if it's Sunday to Sunday for the other team, that's a three day rest advantage for the team that played on Thursday the night before. Now that tends to balance out in the NFL schedule because if they're playing on a Thursday, odds are that means they have the rest disadvantage in that game. But both teams have that disadvantage because of the Thursday. But it it has historically been a big telling point for teams because the better rested and the better prepared you are, the more likely you are to win. The Bills were able to overcome that to a good bit, but did not win their division. I said there was going to be a hard knocks bump for Keon Coleman. I wanted to give myself a neutral because there was a bump. It just didn't pay off, but I marked it as a negative. That's the one we really had there. This year, it's gonna be really diff really, really a change for Buffalo in my opinion. Getting into Miami, they won seven games. Does that sound crazy to you, or is it just me? Because I would have guessed it was around five at least. Miami? Yeah. Last year. I mean, yeah, but, like, there was so much instability on this team last year that I can't. Maybe I'm just having, like, I'm mentally blocking it out. That that would might that might be the right move because of how things went. As a wise man once said, the dolphins make me cry. Yeah. Just do. I am not hooty. But at that same time, I was surprised they had seven wins. Like, there was there was ones in there, then I remembered, oh, yeah, they were playing the jets twice. But one of the good ones that we had touched on was the fact that John Hoo Smith getting traded before the season freed up a ton of targets. Not only did Devon Achan lead the team in receptions, he also was near the top in yardage if not for Jalen Waddle. So we did have that one quite right. One of the predictions I had was that Jalen Waddle would start to take over for Tyreek Hill. I am not taking that win because that's an injury moment. That's not fair. I'm not I'm not taking the point there. But facts is facts, bro. Fact is facts. It it it is, but you know me. I'll I'll I'll take half a point. We'll do that. We'll we'll do the half point. Free. They just But the thing I was least happy about, but, you know, friend of the show, Steven Zimmerman was ecstatic about was I predicted the team to be terrible and Mike McDaniel to be fired, which did happen. And it's gonna lead into some interesting points that we have for the coming season for Miami because Rob has already been bracing for impact on the downswing for the franchise. But I think that's a good thing, and we'll get into that when we start covering 2026. After that, we had the New England Patriots, which I thought I was being crazy thinking they were gonna have double digit wins. Well, they had 14. I knew they had the easiest schedule. Drake May continued to keep rushing as we expected. Hunter Henry's target share in the red zone was still elite, especially with Josh McDaniels. Although it was actually down a little bit because of the success they had running. But the other thing was that it was a perfect storm of having the second easiest schedule coming off of a lot of injuries and bad luck. So we knew that they were going to bounce back, but boy, did we not expect the Super Bowl. But that leaves us with one team left in the AFC East. And I would say the beloved jets, but I don't know anybody that finds them beloved. And, oh, man. I I expected more. I only had them at five wins. Don's the only one that had them over their total, and so Rob and I picked up points there. But that was our first one where Rob predicted the record exactly. He has a Jets. He had the Jets perfect. I thought that Aaron Glenn coming over knowing how Detroit worked and how Justin Fields rushing was would have actually given him an insight. Well, not only was that one of the things that Aaron Glenn was brought in for, he was also brought in with a bunch of defensive players to try and fix said defense. And I think we all know the crazy statistic that's gonna pop up during the twenty twenty sixth, point there. But the only thing that we're gonna really mark for the for the team is we knew the defense would be the make or break for the Jets as they always are. And boy did they break at three wins. Are you ready for 2026, Rob? Let's do it. Alright. So as we circle back to Buffalo, they still didn't do a ton to help with the wide receiver room, but they did get Josh Allen, his first wide receiver one unquestioned since Stefon Diggs was released, traded, unceremoniously sent to Houston. But so now we have DJ Moore coming out of Chicago who has never been anything but solid. Even in Carolina when they couldn't complete a pass, DJ Moore was still getting decent numbers. Chicago, he was the guy, but he was part of that system. Now he's going to be the guy, the guy with the best quarterback in the NFL right now or at least the most talented. Well, asterisk that one. But they were thirty second out of 32 teams in air yards and efficiency last year, and they were still sixth in overall efficiency as an offense. That's how good Josh Allen in this running game is. And the con continuity that they're gonna have is Joe Brady, who was the offensive coordinator, being elevated to head coach. So you're gonna have some continuity on the offense. That's gonna be good for them. However, if you look at their starting defense, which wasn't good last year, they only have three starters returning. They do have some situational pieces that have stayed. Though, depending on the pieces. I mean Well, that that is a very good point, but allow me to tell you that outside of Bradley Chubb, they didn't do much. They're trying to rely on some young talent to take a step at like Max Hairston, who did they drafted out of Kentucky before he got hurt last year. And they're really hoping that they can save money because they're spending a lot on that offense now, and they're gonna have to outscore people. Buffalo is gonna be a ton of fun. So if you're looking at fantasy, get every Buffalo player you can. That's my opinion on that one. Because I think they might score 40 a game because they're gonna give up 35. So the other part of that why I think that defense is It'd be over in every game for Buffalo? Yes. Yes. Barring weather. If there's gonna be weather, then you reevaluate, but the over should be solid. But Sean McDermott being removed is only gonna make that defense worse because that was McDermott's calling card. He focused on the defense and let Joe Brady run the offense. Well, now they only have the guy that ran the offense. We're gonna see how that goes, but I think it'll be tough for them. Now we mentioned rest advantage earlier. There's only two games where the Buffalo Bills have a rest disadvantage. Rob, if you had to list three teams in the NFL that a rest disadvantage won't matter against, who would you say? Well, two of them are in this division. Mhmm. So I would say Miami, the Jets, probably Cleveland. Okay. That's that's fair, especially since they traded Myles Garrett, but we're gonna get to that on a later episode. So the only two games that the Bills have a rested disadvantage, the Jets and the Las Vegas Raiders. Oh, yeah. I'm not I'm not worried about the rest disadvantage against those teams. So they should be good, but I still think they're gonna get outscored. Alright, Rob. Are you ready for the stat that broke my brain regarding the Buffalo Bills last year? Go ahead. There were 752 receivers that qualified in the NFL. Khalil Shakir was the acting wide receiver one for Buffalo last year. He ranked seven hundred and fifty second out of 752 in air yards per target. In fact, he was so inefficient in air yards, and the offense was so inefficient in air yards. It was the worst mark in twenty years, save for one other person. So second worst in the last quarter century? Second in the last ever. But on top of that is a solid air yards even for a possession receiver like Shakir should still get to, like, 10. You know? You run a 10 yard out route, go down on the catch. That's that's basically it. That's the Wes Welker method that we remember. He only had eight catches as the main receiver over seven yards. DJ Moore is gonna be great. And I wonder if Shakira is actually gonna benefit from having a real receiver on the other side. I still think Buffalo is gonna do solid, but the line is slightly deflated because of that defense at 10 and a half. Rob, would you prefer to say your number first, or would you like me to give Don and my number first? Go ahead and do y'all's, and then I'll do mine. So I don't look at the totals when I'm going through the schedule, and I came out to 10 wins. So I have them just a half a game under. Don thinks they're still gonna go over because of the offense at 12 wins. So with the number at 10 and a half, Rob, how many wins do you think Buffalo gets this year? Do you have the schedule up? I do. I've already got I've got my numbers ready to go. An interesting status, I I was looking at the schedules. This division overall, to to tell you how blech this division is, there are 10 primetime games total in this division. And nine of them are Buffalo? Buffalo has half of them. Okay. They're in the buy in week seven, which is probably right about I mean, that's kinda where you wanna be, right, at about the halfway mark. It's a little early, but it's but you can get the adjustments for the second half of the season. I am taking less than both of you, but it's gonna be enough to win the division at nine. Do you think nine will win the division? That is That's how bad it They're gonna win it by a game, but they're gonna win the division. Got it. Alright. So I will be gentle. I promise. Because it's Miami. You know, I don't care. I know you don't care, but it's more fun for me. Honest because that's what this this show's built on. Honesty. Oh, I'm gonna be honest. I just wanna set you up for that one because I'm gonna be positive. This team is bad, and I'm okay with it because we accept mediocrity in South Florida. But I think they're doing it the smart way. This year is gonna be terrible. It's going to be absolutely atrocious outside of maybe some fun watching Malik Willis, who shockingly over all, qualified quarterbacks last year, over the last few years, Malik Willis is the most efficient quarterback in the NFL. Granted, on less reps, but still enough to qualify. So Miami opened up the checkbook, thought they might find something because if you go back in the day, even though he went to Liberty, Malik Willis was a first round pick. He has talent, and Green Bay knows how to develop quarterbacks. Malik Willis's problem is that he went to Tennessee first, so he might be the answer. This may be completely blown out of the water. I will fully cop. There are two or three teams. I get dead wrong every season. And if they have more than one win, I got it wrong on this one. It's an intentional job squad. The big phrase for the Miami dolphins this year is dead cap money. Okay? The previous record in dead cap money for an NFL franchise was a $127,700,000. The dead cap number for Miami this year is a 180,000,000, blowing the record out of the water. Now We're number one. We're number one. But combine all of that where they've jettisoned to basically every veteran who is making more than $12 an hour, I think they're doing the right thing. And it sounds insane to say that from a franchise standpoint because that 127,700,000 was this exact same method. And allow me to tell you why you should have some hope, Rob. That team was the Houston Texans right before Dameko Ryans took over. So they cleared the dead money that they knew they weren't gonna use for the future and then rebuilt draft capital having free money. I have hope for Miami because they brought in basically Green Bay East. I don't think Jeff Hafle is a great head coach, but I could be proven wrong. But the front office is Demeco. That's the first time I've ever heard somebody call him Demeco Ryan. That was the I I've heard him say it as Demeco. I I always said Demeco. I've just never I I say the same thing. I just never heard it. But a bringing in the Green Bay structure to rebuild this franchise is the first smart thing Steven Ross has done since he bought the franchise. So second hardest schedule, it's gonna be bad. Their number is set at four and a half. I think there's one win. Don said two. Where you at, Rob? There's two pieces to my prediction. The first one's probably gonna shock you. Okay. They're gonna go undefeated in the preseason. Oh, that's not surprising. Commanders hosting the at commanders hosting the giants hosting the falcons. After that, I'm still taking the under. Okay. Because if you're a if you're a night owl, you're gonna miss most of the season because they have zero primetime games, period, end of list. I'm gonna say they're gonna win four. Okay. So you're just under. Number one, when you put when you put Las Vegas on the schedule, you're feeling pretty good. And you're in a division with the Jets, and they'll probably split that series. That that that is the one I have is beating the Jets. And there'll be a fluke here and there. This team is not gonna be fun to watch, but I I'm ride or die with my team. I'm staying with them. They've got the buy in week six, which is only a week before Buffalo. So it's not like they're at a disadvantage from the standpoint of the buy, but this team is gonna be they're gonna they're gonna people are gonna be losing their minds in the preseason. And because people do that in the preseason, I do not because the preseason means nothing to me. I don't like watching preseason football. It's like watching table access. Yeah. And it just let's get let's get to the second week of January when I'm back from my vacation, and let's get this thing rolling. But they ain't gonna win more than four games. Not gonna happen. 100 and Calling my shot, I was verifying for the specifics or specifics on this. They start o and five. They have the bye week. Then week seven, they're on the road at the Jets, but they have a full week rest advantage. I think that's the game they win in week seven. And then the Jets get their comeback on the Road in Miami week 12. Alright. New England. New England. That number is already back down to nine and a half after winning 14. Not to use the old Alright. Not to be confused with old England like I did last week. Your nephew is driving me to the brink today. That doesn't surprise me. But New England said at nine and a half, the big thing for them is not unlike the Bills, They didn't really get much out of their receivers, but they knew they needed to do something, which is why they went out and got Romeo Dobbs. It's why they went out and got AJ Brown. Tony, if you're checking this out, I am not stealing your thunder on the Rossini. That's all you. But AJ Brown is going to stretch the field. It's the big flashy signings that everybody talked about, but there's a bigger signing for New England that will matter more. Elijah Vera Tucker, arguably the best player on the Jets since he was drafted is now on New England and fortifying that line next to Will Campbell, who we saw had some issues in the playoff. You can say that. But the other big one is that they drafted Caleb Lamu in the first round. This might be an entirely reworked. Far away. That's a that's an old Michael W. Smith song. Okay. But this could wind up fixing the biggest problem New England had in their line between, Lamu and Vera Tucker. But Vera Tucker is gonna make any tackle next to him better, so he's gonna help Will Campbell who was also a first round draft pick. So New England's got the benefit. It it's funny how these teams that make it deep into the playoffs have the benefit of not having to fill many holes. Funny how that works. But I don't think they're gonna be as good as last year because not only was New England schedule so easy, it was the easiest schedule any team out of 830 teams since 2000. It was the easiest schedule any team faced. Kinda makes up for how they have 14 wins. But when you look at it, there's pretty much four, slam dunks in the division, Miami and the Jets. So you're already getting a leg up, but they are gonna hit a tough stretch at the end of the season as well from weeks twelve to 15. It's gonna be a meat grinder. If they split those games, they may be solid. If anything goes wrong with those, they may not even be in the playoffs after being in the Super Bowl the prior year, which we have seen historically with the Super Bowl losers not making it. Mhmm. So they still have the twelfth easiest season. Again, Miami and the Jets. So at nine and a half, I still think they're gonna go over at ten. Don's very close having them just under at nine. Where are you at, Rob? I said that this division has 10 primetime games. Buffalo has five. New England has the other five. Oh, I was thinking it was gonna be four for some reason. They've got one Monday night game, but that one Monday night game is is at the chiefs. Mhmm. And it's like That's a tough one. Fifteen. I mean, it's late in this. No. No. That that is right in that twelve to fifteen meat grinder I was talking about. October alone is gonna be great for them because you're at Jacksonville, which that could go either way. But then you're at Buffalo, you're hosting the Raiders, you're you're hosting the Jets, and then you're at Chicago. So that's not a bad run. Chicago's looking good. They had a decent season, but we'll get to that later. I'm still taking the under. They will not win the division because I have Buffalo winning division, but the jets will be right on their tail at eight wins. And a and a buy in week 11 for that that last stretch is probably the best for them. That's the best timing they could have it. I I believe that's very full. Okay. You wanna say the name of the next one? Because I know you have a favorite waiting. Yes. Choke. Choke. Choke. There it is. So the fighting Jo Namaths, it was a disaster, but that would be insulting to disasters. The stat that we have talked about on this show, but it has to be repeated. Interceptions have been tracked for ninety two seasons. In those ninety two seasons, only one team has gone their entire schedule without an interception. What was that name again, Rob? J e t s. Choke. Choke. It was the Jets last year who brought in a bunch of defenders and a defensive minded coach and got worse. That's not good. So they definitely did the same thing again this offseason, but maybe spent a little bit more looking for more productive veterans. They did some solid signings in there. They got the linebacking core lifted up a little bit, but it's still, a work in progress. If nothing else, at least the Jets gave us that Aaron Glenn gift of the strut down the sidelines. That was their Super Bowl last year. But with only winning two games, they faced a really tough schedule. Against teams with a winning record, they were o and 15. Fair number one. Yeah. But in that same scope, those are oftentimes like the bounce of a ball just in few of those. Like we talk about some wonky stuff will happen. It'll either go the team's way or it won't. I expect them to get a couple more bounces going their way because it was so egregiously bad last year. It's just I I don't know that Gino Smith is an upgrade. I really don't. I like Gino Smith. He did serviceable with Pete Carroll for a little while, but if you look at expected point is what they are expected point above average. It's kinda like war, but for football. On drop backs, a quarterback is expected to score at a certain level. There were 33 qualifying starters last year. Gino Smith ranked thirty second. Somehow it's worse than Justin Fields last year. Somehow it's worse than Tyrod Taylor last year. Somehow it's worse than every Jets quarterback last year, which is its own shocking statistic. But they brought in Geno Smith, and maybe maybe he'll fit like he did in the Pete Carroll system. I hope so because when your leading receiver for the season is 395 yards, I'm pretty sure my grandmother could lap that, and she hasn't been with us for two years. But Garrett Wilson did get hurt early on in the season, never quite made it back. He's gonna be better, obviously, because he'll play. I hope because even though he went to the worst university on the planet, he's a great player. So on top of everything, they played bad. The bounces didn't go their way, but they hurt themselves massively by being one of the most penalized teams on the planet. So if they can shore up some discipline, get a couple bounces going their way, they'll win a few more games. And by winning a few more games, I think they'll win a few games. I have it at three. With the number at five and a half, Don has a little bit more hope at four. Rob, how many wins do you have for the Jets? Your feline nephew is working overtime today. Oh, I I I see him. That's I'm not saying his name just in case. I don't wanna encourage. Hear you. Jets also have a late buy this year. Mhmm. And if you have been doing the math, they have no primetime games. Yeah. The good news, Jets fans are gonna double your win total. The bad news, that only gets you to four. Four it is. So you you agree with Don on that one? That'll be a fun one. But that wraps up our AFC East. But the interesting note I had, if I was calling my shot on the dolphins, I think the jets don't win a game until even later in week eight. I know you agree with your own class. So Yeah. Super, super annoying today. That's you, sir. So if we're if we're looking at this, I think Buffalo and New England are both in the mix to be playoff teams. I believe Buffalo is gonna have the tiebreaker over New England because of head to head and some other factors going into this. But I think they're the only two that have a shot at the playoffs, but we're gonna get a more fleshed out when we get through the rest of the AFC. Anything you wanna add, sir? No. Great job as always. This is your time of year to shine. So I'm just here to to make sure we're we're keeping everything on track. I will say there there are certain statistics that I usually like to throw out a bit more fantasy stuff, but with us starting a little bit earlier, my, resource options are a little bit limited in this scope. So as we get deeper in, we'll get into more details. We'll have more on that. But when we get to the end of this, I'm gonna wrap up with a bit more, fantasy stuff as it comes up. And, stay by the channel. You never know when fantasy football talk might show its lovely head. Mhmm. Let's get into TV and stuff we watch this week. I don't have anything out of the ordinary. I had to actually watch Braun Strowman on demand because they aired them, I guess, out of order. And so my EBR thought it was a rerun, but this past week was it was the Alexa Bliss episode. Mhmm. Which was That that that was an adorable reunion. Yeah. But So I I know I know, Ed, this is a little bit off the cuff. Don had mentioned that he started watching the Westies with JK Simmons on MGM plus and said he was really enjoying it, for a new take on a mob show. So we'll look forward to hearing more from him on that. For me, I have gone back to something from last year, and I've started watching the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney plus. Then I texted you about something, and it's gonna be spoiler, but it's over a year old. May I share? Please do. At one point, there are monsters attacking Camp Half Blood that are bothered by high pitch sounds. We've seen that in a lot of different properties where it's either bells or pipes being banged like in Venom or Spider Man three, or was that two? That was Spider Man two, wasn't it? Venom was two. Okay. But I took so much joy in the options that the writers used for Percy Jackson. There is a particular song where one Mariah Carey hits an epically high note for a long time, and I am struggling to remember the name of it. What's got me feeling emotions? Oh, it's called emotions. You're good. Emotions. Okay. They play that through one of the horns, and it was just just perfectly taunted. And I just was like, this is something Rob will absolutely love watching, so I must share. But that's all I have for TV. And the best way to remember that is the song's called Emotions, and it actually samples, got or, a song by the Emotions called the Best Emotions. That's cool. Because if you listen, they're pretty pretty similar. This is why I love feeding you music items because you always have fun factoids. It's kinda my thing. Yes. It is. ABC, Disney, ESPN, Hulu, congratulations to General Hospital. Not only did you have John Oliver on your show, but you hit 16,000 episodes. So to those kids. The Far Cry series has added the the Beauchemy. Oh, that's interesting. So you got that going for you. And announced today Beauchemy is always good Beauchemy, though. Announced today because we need it. We're rebooting the Mickey Mouse Club again. I mean, I didn't realize it had gone away, but then again, I'm not a child, so I don't watch. It had that run-in the nineties, but that was it. Like, there hasn't been a new Mickey Mouse Club in probably thirty years. Yeah. That that was the Timberlake, Spears, Gosling era, wasn't it? Aguilara. Aguilara. Well, I don't remember. I didn't watch. I only knew those few. Part of that deal too. I there's they they showed a picture of part of the cast, and there was just Gosling like this. Yeah. Like, yeah, that's that's the that's Ryan Gosling. What year was this? Oh, it's 1994. Yeah. So, CBS Paramount plus Showtime. We have another person joining Dexter resurrection in season three. Why are we having this when Don's not here? Friend of the show, Gabriel Luna. Nice. Joining the cast. So Love it. He's grown the hair out. Looks look. It's it's a little jarring. Okay. Their show Colin from accounts will end with season three. They said this way. And, I don't know. These are okay. These are in the wrong place. Hold on one second. Well, and literally in the wrong Are are we gonna talk about the other news in that front, or is that something we're gonna let play out? Go ahead. The antitrust lawsuit for Paramount Plus? I'm not messing with all that until I That's why I was asking if we were just gonna let it play out. Let's let it let it happen. Hey. We're not involved. We don't have inside information. Go ahead. Watch the news. Read Variety. The only other thing I have this week from NBC Peacock Universal Telemundo also announced today Chloe Feynman is leaving SNL after seven seasons. It's always interesting when somebody's there that long and leaves. You you you hope for the best, but, you know, you'll miss certain aspects. She's and she's mad talented, so she's gonna be fine. But, yeah, that was I saw that today. I like, oh, because I like her. You know? The only thing on TV, on DVD, and Blu ray this week is season 19 of Murdoch mysteries. You're a BBC person. Okay. I I just realized there is another TV note that happens to be today, but we've talked about it before. But just to confirm, the hawk drops today. What? It's not getting reviewed well. I I wouldn't expect it to. So Remember what I said. I love Will Ferrell, but this is literally just a grab after the greatness that is Owen Wilson's stick. Oh, I just love the fact that he was on the today show with Jenna Bush and did did his impression of her dad right in front of her. That's funny. And apparently, she absolutely loved it. Well, I the man loves it too. I mean, you gotta respect it. It's like you're making fun of me, but it's funny, so I'm gonna let it roll. Movie stuff we watched this week. I think we both will wait till movie new releases. Trailer talk. Oh, boy. Trailers this week. A movie called Bad Apples with the Sorcerer Ronin. She plays a teacher Mhmm. Who has a kid that's a really bad kid, and so she kidnaps him and locks him in her basement. Yikes. Yeah. It's definitely not up my alley. It's just This sounds like an American version of heel, which we both said no to earlier this year. No. We also have the fox. This is I don't know this one. Olivia Coleman plays the Fox. Okay. And she tells this guy if he doesn't kill her, then he can tell she can tell him how he can make his wishes come true. And he really is in is in love with this girl, so he she she he has to take her and put her in this hole. And when she comes out of the hole, she's gonna be everything he ever wanted. And he does, and she kinda does, and then she doesn't, and then things get weird. There's other talking animals in this. It's This sounds like a cluster. But for Olivia Coleman to do it, though So But it's Olivia Coleman. So Yeah. And but it's still a hard pass for me. I'm gonna skip this. Come back. I did see the new trailer for Mutiny, the new Jice. They all look the same to me now. Yeah. It pretty much is. It's it's what you expect. I mean, if he if he's getting paid and they're making money, more power to you. There is a documentary coming out called when we rocked, which is about the eighties metal scene in Philly. Nice. That looks interesting. I know Hunter. Mhmm. Hunter agrees. Hunter wants to see it too. And then there's idiots. Oh, yeah. O'Shea Jackson junior, Dave Franco, have you seen the trailer? Yes. I have. Did you see how it was described? No. I didn't see the description. Dumb and dumber meets midnight run. Yeah. That that's that's right. Did not have those worlds colliding on my bingo card. But, I mean, it looks it looks so wheeled off. Well, the funny thing is, there is a a little, back and forth I had with somebody who said that they are making this movie so that they can help get to part three of another series. Den of thieves. Hey. We wanna send our best to the friends and family of Sam Neal who passed away. Absolutely. 78. And when it when I found out it was a very nonchalant reference, and I was like, And so then I went to social media, and there it was. Mhmm. Doctor Grant. Yep. I mean, that that dude has been mean Overall. Sorry? Can we say underrated for his total body of work? Because everybody Jurassic Park, and I don't think people dig enough into his oeuvre. I'm gonna say one of the greatest performances in a horror movie I've ever seen in Event Horizon. He is I I know it's not your cup of tea, but he is absolutely brilliant. That's also an underrated film. Yes. It is. But, I mean, he has he was around a lot longer, but everybody does gravitate to Jurassic Park because it is the arguable pinnacle of his known works. But there were some really, sweet tributes put up. And you know what I'm gonna remember just as much as Jurassic Park for Sam Neil. He separated himself when it became too much, and during COVID he decided he was just gonna start doing social media and cooking on cameras so people didn't going and creating an Instagram for his cat and just genuinely being a good dude that wanted to put positivity into the world on top of being a phenomenally talented actor. And and if you and if you go to it, one of the things that I feel like it's overlooked for him, he is what made Peaky Blinders catch on beyond Killian Murphy. When he was on as spoiler alert for a fifteen year old show, I think. When he was essentially the villain of the first season, he was spectacularly layered and deep while still being unquestionably the bad guy. And it was just I know you agree. Sam Neil's some of Sam Neil's best work. Trying to keep Hunter I think Hunter is also appreciating that. He's just he's extra today. Did get also got notified this week. Mark, if you're here in the Metroplex, Mark, September 12 on your calendar. That will be the next installment of the It Came From Texas Film Festival. Nice. Great year in Garland. And, I need I don't I I I don't remember if she publicly announced the theme or not. Oh, I don't know if that was public either. I think it was, but I'm not sure. Well well, hold on. Actually just been a text to us. Well, it was in an email she sent, but I don't know how public it is. But September 12, mark your calendars. It came from Texas Film Festival this year. We'll have more for you as as details warrant. I need to go on a bit of a mini rant here. Okay. Can we stop with, and I quote box by the way, four one Mets win. Box office expectations. Like I mean Let the numbers play out. And when the theatrical run is done, then we can talk, you know, profit loss. But I'm just But we expect this movie to do 750 bazillion dollars in three days. Well, maybe it won't. And if it doesn't, you still got time. But at that same time, we know that people want to quantify everything. They want their talking points. And you have to realize, like a movie we're gonna talk about later, one side wants to find a way to tear it down. Another side wants to find a way to build it up. And guess what? Building it up's a lot easier. So they're gonna grasp at any one of these things. It's just stupidity. I just we've had so many examples of, hey. This film found a life on DVD, or it found life in midnight showings. Like, I'm sure it's not the expectation the studio wants to put on something. Of course. But give stuff time. There's so much stuff to consume out there. It's not like it used to be kids. Yeah. I mean, if you even go back, you still have other ones where it's along the lines of, like, look at the Boondock Saints. It probably made $12 in theaters, but it's made hundreds of millions at home. I mean, it it's gonna be what it's gonna be. Either you enjoy it or you don't. You can have valid talking points, but when you're hypothesizing on numbers, roles, anything you don't have information on, you're begging to look like an idiot. And Sean Patrick Flannery is friend of the show. Yes. So I'm sorry. I believe I believe since it's him, he's a friend of the show. You're not wrong. Congratulations to Michael. It is the first Lions Gate movie across a billion dollars worldwide and the first biopic to do so. Yep. So doing very, very well. And it should. It's a fun movie. I like it. I have concerns about this next item. Uh-oh. We allegedly have a director for your next GI Joe movie. He is also the writer. And and I'm a fan of the guy. Don't get me wrong. But Danny McBride handling the GI Joe brand concerns me. But did did you see what he said when they asked him what to expect? I did not. He said, do not expect a Danny McBride movie. Do not expect this to be a comedy. I am a massive GI Joe fan. The premise sounds comedic, but I don't I mean, a premise at this point means nothing. Are we picking up what was put down at the end? Nope. Nope. Entirely new. Goddamn it. I wasn't a big fan of those movies, to be honest with you. No. I'm not. We may not be talking about the same thing. I'm not talking about the way retaliation ended. Okay. I'm talking end of rise of the beasts. Oh, that actually might be. Okay. I was thinking of the continuation of their franchise independently. But one of the rumors, and nobody knows if Danny McBride's joking because Danny McBride, is the idea of Joe's on leave accidentally staying at, a resort where Cobra runs it or something along those lines, and then they have to take it down from the inside. Like I said, it's a comedic premise, but I'm willing to give them a shot. Danny McBride has a better batting average than I thought he did when I look at his projects, so I'm gonna let the dude go. Batman part two now set for 02/18/2028. We did get a the definition of a teaser this week, basically a camera test and it looks, it looked good. And there is one particular change that was noticeable right off the bat. I was, I, my screen was too small. The ears are significantly taller. Oh, are they? They're they're they're closer to Keaton. Okay. We have Blue Beetle returning for Man of Tomorrow. Yes. About this because I liked that film. I enjoyed it. I need to rewatch it. I didn't dislike it, but I feel like I tried to watch it while doing something else. I think I made that mistake. We have your runtime for Avengers Doomsday. It end in 2026? Have you have you so you haven't seen the runtime? I have not. Carrot Avenger a guess? If I'm going off of a major Avengers property, I'm gonna have to say at least 02:45. You're exactly right. 02:45. That's your run time. I am expecting For the record, I was just remembering project hail Mary being 02:42, and I was like roundup. So I will I'm something tells me we're gonna get if we don't get something at San Diego Uh-huh. They're gonna do something huge for D 23. I I was gonna say, even if it's not there, you have D 23. What do you think your run time for Spider Man brand new day is gonna be? Oh, I think that one's gonna be shorter. I'd probably say about 01:50. 02:15 without credits. Okay. So 02:30 ish. Yeah. Because you're gonna have mid credit, post credit, so right around 02:30. Movie new releases in places you get movie new releases this week. We have a movie called Horse gonna make $10,000,000,000 this year. Yeah. We have a movie called Horse Girls as her mother Sandy played by the great Gretchen Mall Yeah. Grapples with an uncertain diagnosis. Autistic 22 year old Margarita played by Lillian Carter must reluctantly grow up. So that's I'm trying to see if there's anybody else we would know in this. Kenzie James. I know that name. Yeah. About it. We also have reading Lolita in Tehran. That sounds unstable. A professor in revolutionary Iran gathers her most dedicated female students to study banned literary classics. It's based on, Azar and Afisi's beloved memoir. They've got a big display for this at the Angelica. I'm interested. I I did not know about this. Apparently, was made a couple of years ago, but it's getting a release this weekend. Yeah. The the title was concerning. I did not know the the subject. It is. But you know? And we've waited for a year, and it is now upon us. The odyssey is here. Now I do wanna verify Alex, and I don't know if you did the homework here. We did not see it in 70 millimeter. The only theater in the Metroplex that will be showing the the IMAX 70 millimeter is Cinemark on Webb Chapel and LBJ. Yep. Regardless. Oh my god. Yeah. I'm processing movie four days later or three days later. I I couldn't get past my opening line of my review currently located at stolenwatermedia.com. That's our website. And it's it's the greatest epic ever put to film. All one, you're gonna be wrong. All three of us have reviewed it, we're all kind of on the same page. That is so rare. Yeah. That is so rare. Especially with a movie like this. Remind me to tell you the thing I teased at the end. No spoilers on air. Okay. Fair enough. Danny Villanueve's removed. That's all I'm saying. Actually, do you want my craziest statement about this? Go ahead. The Odyssey is the best movie I've seen this year and possibly ever. And by the end of the year, I have a feeling I won't even think it's the best movie this year. I will say right now know why. Maybe it's that teaser that we had. I will say right now, it it is not my favorite movie of the year. Mm-mm. There is one there is one better than it at this point in the game. I That you We do do our list based on our favorites. That you haven't seen yet. And I Oh, that I haven't seen. Yeah. And I really want you to see what what the movie that tops my list currently, but I'm not revealing that yet. Okay. You know which one tops my list, but we're gonna save that for later. Movies on DVD oh, by the way, they also had their own category on Jeopardy today. Cool. The women were giving the clues about The Odyssey. Awesome. So, movies on DVD and Blu ray this coming Tuesday. The faith based film Amazing Grace will be available to you. That's the only, new release. Oh, I don't think anything wants to go anywhere near the Odyssey at this point. Four k releases this week. You've got the seventh Voyage of Sinbad. Madagascar two because Pleasantville gets a four k collector's edition. Interesting. With that film. And unlawful entry gets a collector's edition four k. That's one to pull out of there. Arrow Video does their limited edition of Falling Down. Yes. I've been waiting on this one. Indicator is doing a limited edition of a movie called Full House, not the not the TV show. And they're doing a, they've got La Triveste Trivestier and Stavinsky. And the Criterion Collection this week, by the way, half offs, a 50% off sale still going on at your local Barnes and Noble. So if you're a Criterion person, get up on it. You only got about another week or so left, maybe two. I've got pretty much everything I need at this point. Seven Samurai. If you don't have it, go get seven Samurai. Criterion's great on it. I I upgraded mine to four k. I only paid, like, $12 for it because I had discounts and stuff. But they do a four k for cruel story of youth this week. And they have, I'll remind you of everything, the films of Mike Mills, which includes twentieth century women, beginners, and come on, come on. And they're also doing the love that remains, the Criterion Collection is this week. So that being said, we will do this. The other half of this show is the cheat podcast as we talk about the week that was in the sport of professional wrestling. But before we get into it though, Alex, I don't know if you saw, but, because we're we're gonna talk about state the great state of Tennessee here in a minute. Mhmm. Dolly Parton just opened a travel stop. Ah, no. I did not see that. Good. Look it up. There's more it looks pretty cool. Cool. Well, it's Dolly Parton. She is an angel walking among us, and anybody that has an issue with Dolly Parton can meet my foot. And she, she has her own brand of coffee now in conjunction with community coffee, and it's called Cup of Ambition. Yep. Getting it done. Dolly Parton. Always. Congratulations. Dakota Kai and Carl Fredericks are now married. Mhmm. Russell Tucker. Well, they're engaged, I believe. No. They are. Oh, they're engaged. That's right. You are correct. Yeah. I can't read. Well, we have two degrees of separation from Carl. So So to Clark, Clark to Carl. Yeah. We talked last week about Mandy Rose and, Sabatelli announcing that they were having their first child. Mhmm. And they got the gender this week too. So go check that out. Oh, I'm good for them. NWA has announced Empower. They're all women's card is returning August 28 in Sievertville, Tennessee. That's what triggered that. Yeah. Yeah. At their Civic Center will be in con conjunction with Cross Fire Reston. That's Cross with a k. Oh. That's actually run by Kenzie and Kylie Page, and they're gonna be booked they're booking the card and everything. It'll be at 08:00 eastern on NWA's YouTube channel, so you can watch it for free. Nice. TNA announcing that lockdown will have a 6PM eastern start with a two hour preshow Oh. In August. What is with this preshow stuff? Look at there. And then they've also released, Center and Saint. Oh. But they after the Eric Young thing, they didn't have anything to do with it. I I at that same time, I'm never gonna be happy about people losing their job. I don't care who. So I'm sure You know what? They may wind up trainers at NXT if we're being honest. Oh, and really, honestly, I think they're great for ring of honor. That's a great point. That is a good fit. Saturday night's main events this week, boys or my friend. You show me on being here. I know I'm wide. Yeah. I'm having dinner with my in laws, so I'll watch it on delay because I don't have to watch commercials. There is nothing on this card that is driving me that tells me I need to watch this. It's just it's another thing where they're just running out the contract. It really is. And it'll be on Peacock. Yeah. So, war games will be in Houston, November 28. And I think we have planted the seeds this week. Yes. We did. Club WWE, ninety nine bucks a year. Founders will be able to take advantage tomorrow. I'm gonna do it. I I I need to know. I'm gonna do it. And and there is a there is a morbid curiosity for me. But Founders welcome back. It's true. Day oneer. I'm doing it. I might do it the next day so I get day one ish. Yeah. There you go. And Harlan Lewis is your new evolved men's champion. Yes. He is. Last night if you watch Tubi, which I don't, and I just saw that. You're not gonna force me to watch Tubi. Nope. If it if I can't DVR it in Hulu, I don't care. Like, that's that's the new thing. Now Ring of Honor is different because I pay for that. Do you realize how far just just as a general TV note, do you realize we've come so far to getting to watch things on TV to now not being able to skip commercials feels akin to being Malcolm McDowell in a clockwork orange just being like, final watch. That's the second time this week that's come up. Really? Yeah. I'll see you later. From SmackDown, shout out to Jimmy's trunks. If you noticed, they were very box tape heavy. So shouting out to his wife, which I loved. Always loving a a guy pumping up his his wife, his girlfriend, or something like that. That's that's real machismo right there. I haven't heard officially, and I am not gonna dogpile this thing. Okay. I really hope Alexa Bliss is that flexible. I genuinely believe she is. I She definitely the the the elbow was bruised. Well, I I don't know that that was actual bruising as much as toyed up. I'm hope that maybe I'm more hopeful than I am knowledgeable. Hope so, but, man, the way that looked on TV. But remember, we've done this with her before during COVID where we literally thought she dislocated because she did this, and her hand was basically touching her knee. It was I don't know what to think about that US title. It's not noticeable. It's just it's not like, somebody like, I had to have them tell me, oh, it's got fur on it. Okay. Blends in with the coat too much. So And, honestly, all I think about is heels and that scene where it's like, let's put lights on it so you could see it in the upper deck. That's a great idea. Oh god. And we were wrong. Yeah. Aaron Corbin is not under the sheet because he just decided to just obliterate everybody in that US Title Match. He looked really good in that segment, though. He looked really good. So we'll see what we're going. Raw real quick. Is Leroy now Nikki Cross? Well Is that what you're is this is actually a gimmick that Lyra had used for years in Rev Pro and around England. But, yeah, there is a lot of parallels there, but maybe it's just, know That is probably the one match I'm looking forward to on Saturday night's main event. That's well, I I'm curious where that's gonna go based on other rumors, and I don't know if you saw those. Go ahead. About somebody's contract coming up and not resigning. I think that contract gets signed. I think it does too just if even if only to unfortunately refrigerate because Well, I also saw somebody else's social media post that had no caption to it that I don't put any stock in. Yeah. So, looks like we're getting big cast at the Raw after SummerSlam. Yep. I thought that was a really cool vignette the way they did that. I thought they did that really well too, but do you think we get a vignette for somebody else this coming week? I absolutely do. Or it's they wait and hold him until that night. Possible. Like, just let it let him go back to being fun. Just let him go back. You're like, that was h h h created that team. That was one of his originals, so I could imagine him putting that back. Don't care about the whole opening with the vision and Maxine. Don't care. Don't care about whole year. And with the way that show ended, I think that's your captains for war games. Sorry. You got a little choppy there. I was I was gonna say, can we please stop doing this to Otis every few years? Agreed. Now I said with the ending, that's gonna be What was that you were just saying about oh, the Roman and Seth? Yeah. Those are your captains for war games. Let's just go. Maybe. But, let me let me say, at this point, do you have a strong feeling as who walks out as champion from that match? I hate to say it, but it's gonna be Roman. This is just it's bad looking. And Well And I love Roman Reigns. Don't get me wrong. I love the man. Same. Been a fan for a decade and and change now. Mhmm. Him with that belt doesn't do anything for the brand. There's something about that belt that when I look at it, I think Seth Rollins. I just do. Well, because he was the first one to hold it and had it for a year basically. But I am starting to come around on Seth winning it. But sometimes the real world does the booking. Yeah. Because we're not far off of, Roman going not that this would actually change because historically, he he's probably about to go on press tours for Street Fighter. So, NXT real quick. Layla Diggs is out with an arm injury. Hopefully, it's not too bad, and she's back soon. But we had Lillian. Yes. Lillian was there. A surprise. Yeah. AEW news, the dark order has resigned. Good for them. Them now, please. Yeah. Good trios. Give them go. Okay. Who has the ROH trios? I think it's still oh, no. It's Dalton Castle and the outrunners. Now maybe you wanna try and lean into a more evil dark order or just be completely ridiculous and have them outdo it. Because if we know anything, we know that Evil Uno is hilarious. And if you don't believe me, go look up Mystery Wrestling. The redemption redemption at the end of the month during the buy in, they're going to honor the Rougeaus. I saw that. Eighty years of the Rougeaus. That was cool. So I was excited about that. So who's gonna get hit with a taser? Full gear is set for November 14 at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix. Okay. And in case you don't have enough to do on the day of all out Oh, I saw this. WWE triple playout worldwide the same day. Yeah. Go further. Did you notice the other thing? Go ahead. It's also in Chicago. Oh, jeez. Yeah. Tell tell me you're you're quickening your boots a little bit without telling me you're quickening your boots a little bit. Okay. Like I am literally you know what? I'll reveal it now. Hold on. Let's get I am literally wearing an El Grande Americano Mexican team jersey. Yes. You are. And I don't care about AAAI World Collide. Well, because because if you're a member of the WWE roster, you're gonna win. Yeah. Pretty much. That's how it's been historically. Collision. Got a shout out to the guy that had this sign that just said do a snap mare. I I don't know why that made me giggle. It just did. You texted me Mhmm. About the return of of hangman. Yes. And we we have the return of actually, we we have a theme for this, I think. Oh, I hope so. Maybe oh, wait. I don't think we do. Oh, that's unfortunate. We're gonna need to make one. It's the same as shenanigans. The return of the lower third is that it recently had a vasectomy. And then before he could cut the promo about being a gardener showing t shirts talking about pollination, and I was like, priming? Yeah. Little right there. That's really all I've got this week. It it's I thought we had more wrestling talks than we did, but It San Diego coming up. We're gonna be inundated with pay per views and please and everything else in the next few weeks. Well and one thing we hadn't touched on though is AAAA was a decent show, but boy, I it it reminded me of superstars on one level. If you go back to WWF superstars, and I'm gonna set it up for you. In one corner, you have the Hart Foundation. In the other corner, you have Dwayne and Bob Gill. Yeah. Okay. Don't worry, baby. But wait. Wait. But it's the main event. That match isn't gonna go as a squash. Somebody else is coming in, and that's what we're doing with Pedros de Amal. But we did something interesting. Sorry? With the Carmen Petrovic. Yes. But they did something that got me. Dominic saved El Grande. Dominic had a face moment, but he's telling it okay. I want you to think about it from the monster champion level. The I want you to be healthy so I can beat you myself. Mhmm. Dominic kinda did that angle. Okay. So next week, we have Perros del Mal versus Dominic and El Grande. As in this coming Saturday? Yes. Okay. So I I am intrigued by where this is going because as much as I bagged on Dominic to start, judgment day was the best thing for him, and he has completely grown beyond even my expectations. He's getting better, and I'm amazed. I am loving this. If you're not watching AAAA, it's free. It's on YouTube. You don't even need to watch it live. They do a great job with it. It's awesome. I love how Shout out taker. I also I also said, I thought it was funny how Cole was telling Graves, hey. Your Spanish is getting better. You can get good at this. And according to Carmen Petrovic, when they did that reveal, apparently, he gave them a standing o backstage. That doesn't surprise me. That was really good. I Daga as a leader is still a little bit off for me because he's four and a half feet tall, and I that's me saying that. Alright. There's a QR code over there by Alex. Scan it.
