The following is a sooner or later production.
The drum is clean.
Keep it going.

It is 703 on the west coast.
Our east coast is 403 on the west coast.
Public school map.
It is Sunday night.
November 30th.
In the year of our Lord, 2014, the clubhouse is live and on the air, season 5, episode 18,
numerically, 277 times I have said those words about.
We welcome you no matter how you're listening, whether you're live right here on
you stream with us, if you're listening on our archive, or if you were subscribed
on iTunes, we're good either way, we're just got you listen, welcome.
My name is Rob and anytime this cough wants to leave me, it is more than
welcome to.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, I'm going to lie to you.
And it's not like I'm actually sick, I've just got this crappy cough that won't leave.
The keyboard's all screwed up, it's just, I'm glad it is first world problems don't get
me wrong, but I think we're back in order.
No Chad tonight, he is visiting his father for Thanksgiving day weekend, so maybe he'll
pop in the chat room, we don't know, we'll see if he had time to get away from this
family stuff to do that, but I am not alone.
Joining me in the studio to my left, he is the official fact checker of this show and
the man who's done almost as much travel as me this weekend, but into a different section
of the state.
You may know I was fun, don't go, but his mom and me even don't, don't, I'm going to
call him Don Ford, welcome to show service.
Had a great trip to Houston, I'm wish I, I hope everybody in the if I had a good trip,
how they weekend, safe travels all that.
It was good, Jen and I went to Austin, we left Thursday morning, traffic going down there
wasn't bad, but coming back, it took us almost five hours to get out of your base
travel on the day.
The problem was, I 35 turns into two lanes on each side when you get about four miles
to the south of Waco, and there was an accident that took up both lanes, so that added
45 minutes to our trip, because we had exit in this little 80-bitty town and then we got
stuck just out the Waco, but once we got, once we got through Hillsborough, it was a pretty
smooth sailing.
So if everybody had safe travels this weekend and I'm still morning after this afternoon,
well, let's talk about that later as we all, also joining us in the studio,
for this particular episode, right directly across from me, is a man who people call
a man, but they put a crown in his head when there's pins involved.
He is the king of bowling.
He is Andrew Belkin, welcome to the show, sir.
Thank you.
Great to be here.
Good to have you.
Thank you guys for doing the show tonight.
I was going to, I told you, it was going to be a game time decision and I was at the house
yesterday and I said, you know what, we're going to go ahead and do the show.
We've already missed two or three weeks this year, we've got to get the numbers caught
back out.
We're here for the Empire.
Absolutely.
We're doing for the kids.
I can say that because Chad's not here.
So that being said, let us start into the deep end of the pool and with every episode
of this show, we do start it with corrections.
Hit the post.
Thank you very much.
Well, of course, last week was the short show due to Survivor Series and believe me, we're
going to talk about it later on in wrestling talk, but, uh, show scene clean.
Unless there's anything I, you guys heard that I didn't.
Not really.
No, no, especially since we were, we were there, yes, and we'll talk about it in
wrestling talk.
I don't want to, I don't want to bury the, I actually do need to bury the list.
Just given the little tease, so the carpet is, um, NASCAR's in their off season.
So we're just going to go ahead and get started with some TV talk.
So this Friday, December the 5th, can you believe tomorrow, it's December?
It's crazy.
I'll tell you what, you will when you wake up in the morning here in the DFW Metroplex because
it's going to drop 40 degrees tonight.
Really?
And rain.
Yeah, it's going to be a nasty, nasty evening, but I'll tell you what, I'll sleep like
a baby.
Oh, yeah.
It's sleeping.
So this Friday, NBC will be doing Peter Pam live.
I think it's Thursday.
Is it Thursday?
Don't be chicked.
Yeah, the fourth.
Okay.
It's a fourth.
That would be Thursday for sure.
Yeah.
With Christopher Walken as hook, uh, but they did reveal this past week that Tinker Bell
will be CGI, which I don't know how I feel about that specifically.
I kind of feel like, I mean, this, this, if you're doing it live, I mean, I mean, I mean,
I guess it kind of makes sense instead of trying to blue screen somebody and try to line
everything up.
I guess CGI would make more sense.
December 4th.
It is Thursday night.
Yeah.
That's kind of weird.
You think they do that on Friday night?
Well, Friday, it's a big TV night.
Thursday night.
Yes.
I'll tell you what.
I'll tell you where it's not going to get gangbuster ratings is in this town because
the Cowboys are playing Thursday night.
Yeah.
So, like, nationally because a lot of Christmas parties start on Friday, Saturday.
Yeah.
But you want to be on the Christmas parties, at least until, oh, no, no, no, no.
They're starting, they're starting Friday and yes, if not Saturday.
I work six years at the four seasons and I work hundreds of Christmas parties.
Oh, yeah.
I wouldn't want to do mine.
I'm invited to three on Saturday.
This coming Saturday.
Yes.
It's insane.
They're doing it earlier, so they can have, I guess, the closer to the holidays, I can
spend time with their family and blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't know.
I just don't think I, I wouldn't want to do mine at least until a week from Saturday because
at least you're in the ballpark.
Like, the weekend of the 20th, that gets a little dicey because a lot of kids will be
out of school at that point and whatnot, and this weekend's too early.
Well, and most of the time, if, if it's an ugly Christmas sweater party, it's really, you
know, so 70 degrees.
Right.
And I'll tell you what.
There's some great ones out there this year.
Yeah.
Tea Fury has some great ugly sweaters.
If you know who Mando is, they do a lot of really cool alternate movie posters.
They've got a gremlins one.
I'll show you guys after the show.
Then I've got a picture of it.
Looks awesome.
Let's go.
Yeah.
The Christmas party, say, start this coming weekend coming up next weekend.
Wow.
Four seasons.
Six years of labor.
I worked at tons of them, and it's all through boom.
So yeah, it's the start.
So if Thursday nights are good night for the show.
Alright.
So that'll be Thursday night with a CGI Tinkerbell live with a CGI.
Holy, we spent so much time on that.
I'm not kidding.
But I'll tell you what though.
Red band society, brand new show on Fox.
My wife checked it out.
She liked it.
Right now, it's on the bubble.
They've been told the halt production on any future episodes.
Really?
And I mean, I love the concept of the show.
It's a bunch of kids that are terminal in the hospital and they form friendships and whatnot.
It's like 902 and I want a hospital, I guess.
But yeah, their Fox is saying, hmm, not so fast, my friend.
It boxes don't forget no shows over the years, but they haven't cut off the bits.
So I'm good.
Yeah.
I just, I got my finally.
It's getting good right now.
Can I make an announcement right now on this show?
I have 55% free space on my DVR right now.
No.
I am less than 70 recordings from clearing my DVR.
No.
This is true.
This is happening.
I am caught up on everything, but I've got two episodes of the flash.
I've got one episode of the soup.
I've got five episodes of that food fighters, Sonic Highways, and I've got all six episodes
of Constantine.
That's all I've got left beside food.
They're cutting Constantine, so are they?
I had heard it was on the bubble.
I had heard it officially.
Yeah, double check on that because that would really upset me.
Congratulations to AVC.
What are we doing?
Why did I lose that?
Okay, we're going to have to hold off on that because now that's unfortunate.
All right, we'll go over here then.
Charlie Brown thinks giving ratings are up 31% over last year.
Really?
That aired.
I believe Wednesday night.
Yeah, I saw it.
I didn't watch it though.
I was like, eh.
I've got it.
I've got it.
Yeah, I've got great punk and Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It came in like a three pack.
I haven't seen it in a while.
And I did see the trailer for the new peanut's movie.
I'm in.
Really?
It looks, it's CGI, but it looks kind of claymationish.
So it's kind of, it's cool looking.
Yeah, check out the trailer.
The trailer's out there.
It looks really good.
Okay, you're right.
Constantine's on the bubble.
Okay, so it's not official yet.
I watched the Charlie Brown this weekend too.
It's true.
It's true.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
Think of a shout-up because it is the Christmas season.
Can I give a shout-out to the Alamo draft house?
Unfortunately, we're booked this Tuesday, but Tuesday night, if you're in the DFW area,
and you go, if this one for sure, they're showing a Christmas story, ironically enough.
And there's going to be a three course Chinese feast to go with the movie.
No.
Yes.
I love the Alamo.
I was just there this weekend.
We're going to talk about that more in movie talk.
And Freddie Prince Jr.
is recovering from spinal surgery.
What's in the bed?
That he had this past week.
Apparently he had a slip disc.
He said that it was last week.
They think there'll be that he'll be fully mobile in another week.
Really?
So yeah.
So he's not mobile before?
No, I'm just saying after surgery.
No.
I mean, my wife had back surgery, and she wasn't mobile for the better part of the month.
Yeah.
So best wishes to him.
Yeah.
Speed recovery.
Hope the holidays are good for him.
Anything else from TV talk?
She guys want to bring up before we move on.
This Thursday and next Tuesday.
That's it.
Oh, so the finale is next week.
Next on the night.
All right.
I'll be sure that my wife is aware of that because she's been.
She has watched that entire series this year.
Really?
She binge.
Yeah.
She binge the whole thing and went into this season.
And what I've been telling you for three years.
But you know what?
Now I can binge the whole function.
Okay.
So I've got to do that again.
I know what to do.
But yeah.
I've got to do the night.
That's it.
Final sense of anarchy.
I was 24 now.
I'm losing this.
I lost the field.
You are listening to the clubhouse podcast.
And we appreciate you doing.
So make sure you tell everybody you know to just check.
Just check the show out one time.
Tell them asking me to do.
And if you don't like it, then you're a communist.
But other than that.
Just checking out one time.
Let's talk in the fell boys.
Right about now.
Thank you.
There we go.
Right you now.
So Ray Rice wins his appeal against the league.
The free to sign with whatever team he wants to or wants him more importantly.
The question gentleman is this.
Is there a team that's willing to sign him?
And if so, who do you believe that is?
Andrew.
I do not think there's a team willing to sign him this year.
I think he's going to have to prove a little bit more.
Probably do it a little bit more for just, I guess, domestic violence and general.
As in promoting, you know, that you shouldn't do that.
Done?
If I was an owner, I would not take him.
I don't care because all the negative publicity I will be coming with that.
But on the other hand, how the more that he gets pushed away, the lower his price is going to be.
I think eventually some team will take him.
I want to put a past Jerry if the price is right.
Exactly.
Well, it depends on how much they, if they get AP.
If they sign AP, then maybe not.
But there may be some team, you know, everybody deserves a second chance in all that.
And all, you know, people turn the lights around.
The, the backlash that you will have from signing him by like all the domestic violence groups and everything.
Yeah, but is it their backlash with signing Adrian Peterson too?
Yeah, no, I know.
I'm just saying, let's be realistic.
That's so high profile.
You know, if I was an owner, I went on it.
And that unless he was dirt cheap.
I mean, dirt, dirt, dirt shit.
There's stop at a past Jerry.
I mean, this is what he does, you know.
Of course.
I mean, it's a good way for him to make some money because people are going to buy those jerseys.
Because people always want to give their super stars in the NFL or second chance.
Yeah, I think there's a team that will sign them.
They're an open California.
God.
Oh, God.
Because Oakland.
They're that stupid.
And it's nothing against Oakland.
But Oakland has that reputation.
They're the bad boys.
They're, they're the retirement home for the other thing.
Would that be good for Ray Rice though?
No.
I mean, but I'm just saying that that's a team that I guarantee you will come calling.
Or maybe even Philadelphia.
They're something big.
No.
That was a hole.
They have a Sean McCall.
Yeah.
And Darren's broke.
That they don't need him.
But he is free to sign up that he team he wants to.
So there is that.
Now let's go to your current.
Well, this fourth quarter is going very quickly in Green Bay.
Arizona loses to Atlanta 29 to 18 currently after the missed field goal in Green Bay.
That does put Green Bay up 26 to 21.
There's just under three and a half minutes to go.
That fourth quarter had just started when we started the show.
Yeah.
So they're like, this is cold.
Let's get this fourth quarter done.
Yeah.
Plus, I hate this because now I got to go reset my DVR because last week.
See the CBS.
I'm.
How is 60 minutes that dog on important that you have to push everything back?
Yeah.
Like last week.
I missed the last 10 minutes to see SI.
Yeah.
Because he had a felt had run long.
And instead of doing, let's now join 60 minutes in progress.
They showed everything from the beginning.
It's one of their big.
It's one of their big shows.
I could still ratings.
And so they went at the six o'clock Sunday night slot during football season.
It drives me insane.
Because then my show, the one show I watch on Sunday night and they're going to come
up later in the show too.
But like I lost the like I've missed two or three episodes of CSI this year because I started
up in my good wife's on and it says, oh, CSI's going to start in 20 minutes.
Well, now I've lost 20 minutes because I only said it for an hour.
Yeah.
I look real fast on that Sunday night thing to always put in at the show tonight.
Yeah.
And as much as we railed on both teams, not having a double header on Sundays.
It's kind of nice when Fox doesn't because then it doesn't push back the Simpsons
or family got.
Yeah.
And most games are done by seven central.
Well, remember the Simpsons used to come on at six 30 central.
Those were reruns.
No, no, no, no.
They used to do the new shows at six 30 central.
It's always family.
Yeah.
But like now it's been seven o'clock in the new ones.
Thursday.
Boy, could you have put more three more uncompetitive games on the field than the NFL did on Thursday?
We were on our way to Austin.
I was at, you know, because we have X series XM in the car.
So we were able to listen to the first half of Detroit Chicago in the car before we got to Jen's grandmother's house.
And the first half was a game.
The first half was great.
Yeah.
The choice is going to screw around and win this game.
And they did.
Except it wasn't as bad as there was worse than everybody thought would be.
I think in half time 34 to 17 half time.
The Detroit coach must have said you do realize that we're playing the bears defense.
Yeah.
Give up like 300 yards a game.
And then your mid game.
Your Dallas Cowboys.
Did not defend the house.
Not at all.
As the Philadelphia Eagles come in there.
33 to 10.
Spank.
And then so I was like, okay.
So maybe the late game.
It's Seattle and San Francisco.
Both of these teams are unpredictable.
I'm going to go into the guest room because they got a TV in there.
And I'm going to what?
Dun, dun, dun, dun.
I don't know why they even air either.
Those team did three Seattle.
This was a snoozer.
If you were having a trip to fan attack after turkey, this was the game to do it in.
Yeah.
And then the Texas game.
That was a blowout, too.
On Thanksgiving.
Didn't even watch it.
Yeah.
They get Texas couple and out.
Oh, yeah.
But we're not in this college yet.
I'm going to say, but even that game.
You know, we're going to get there.
We're going to get there.
We'll get there.
I said, but even that that both the college and pro.
Those were both.
Well, say, but Cisco and Seattle.
They both of their quarterbacks are not fun to watch.
No.
Because I mean, four out of five weeks.
They're.
But terrible.
Neither one of them can throw if they throw for over 200 yards.
It's a blessing in a miracle.
In 150, maybe a more a better number.
Today, my Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose a heartbreaker 14 to 13 hosting Cincinnati.
Cleveland goes to Buffalo and then probably gets shown the door 26 to 10.
Indianapolis reminding the Washington football team who they are.
As Washington goes into Lucas oil stadium and loses 49 to 27.
Oh, McCoy put up some numbers though.
Sucks to have the under.
Oh, yeah.
St. Louis.
Oakland.
Right now.
We want a game.
Pride time.
Thursday night football.
And we're going to say, look 52 to nothing.
That was a shot lacking from Oakland sport.
As a minute, points today as I did.
And I don't play.
Yeah.
31 13 Minnesota over Carolina New Orleans.
Oh, what a heartbreaker for your Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sir.
At home.
None the last.
I know.
But you know what?
The same this year are doing better on the road.
They're at home.
Am I correct in it?
You are still three weight type or second place in that division right now.
Five and seven record.
But see, I've said it on the show for years.
There should be a rule.
If you are not 500 or better, you don't get in a playoffs.
Well, yeah.
Look at the energy south.
That's what I'm talking about.
One point victory for Jacksonville over the Giants.
What's it?
21 or 14 points score by the defense of Jacksonville.
25 to 24.
That's how I've had the Giants.
Another one point game.
A San Diego who has now one three straight 34 33.
That was the right.
I'll watch that game.
That was a fun game to watch.
Tennessee gets shoalacked by Houston.
And you know, a lot of my in-laws are Houston Texans fans.
And they were very, very downtrod going into this game today.
Which they had rights to be.
Exactly.
But I'm going to tell you something.
You have beat Tennessee 45 to 21.
So the new oilers beat the crap out of the old oilers.
What's it?
Fitzpatrick.
There's six touchdowns.
He has this.
Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Ryan Fitzpatrick.
I don't speak in the quarterbacks.
I'll go being caught up on as many things.
I'm also caught up on 30 for 30.
Did you watch the one about Randy Moss?
Right.
Randy University.
No.
Do you know who his quarterback was?
Marshall?
No.
Chad Pennington.
What?
Yes?
That is a true story.
I was like, oh, we have a Chad Pennington sighting.
Fordolphin.
Great.
Wow.
Yes.
And by the way.
Next 30 for 30 is a week from Friday, December 13th.
The U part two.
Brother.
That was what I did.
As much as I can't stand the hurricanes.
That 30 for 30 was really good.
And if this thing is a fraction as good as that.
Oh, boy.
Ooh.
Ratings.
Tonight, Denver will be at Kansas City.
Depending on which Denver shows up.
And tomorrow night, my dolphins will be at the New York Jets.
Oh.
Let's go dolphins.
You're only three games out of first place right now.
Well, they're probably going to win 35 to 10.
They need to win.
Because we're still in the hunt for the wildcard.
It's the Jets.
So when was last time I put anything past anybody, sir?
A little bit.
Carl Orton can.
I'm hoping 10 Hill.
We're talking about my dolphin.
Now, 10 Hill really starting to play better this year.
But I'm still not going to bet the mortgage on it.
But then again, Thursday night, your Dallas Cowboys will be playing in the soldier field
at Chicago.
I turned it off.
You shut up NFL.com.
I'm really scared of that game, too, because we may get shut out of that one as well.
I'm going to make a prediction.
I'm sure I won't for shy town on this.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Who's going to stop Brandon Marshall?
Who's going to stop Alexandre Jeffrey?
Who's going to stop Matt Forte?
You don't be outside.
And it's going to be cold and snowy and everything.
Tampa Bay.
My Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be at the Detroit Lions Baltimore, also at Miami.
Go Miami.
Go Miami.
Go Miami.
I will take that, sir.
Speaking of your Pittsburgh Sears, we'll be at Cincinnati.
The vision game.
Indie will be at Cleveland.
The Giants will be at Tennessee, boy, if you need a nap.
Right after church, because that's your early game.
The Jets will be at Minnesota.
Carolina at New Orleans.
Division game.
New Orleans will win that.
St. Louis will be at the Washington Football Club in RFK.
Houston at Jacksonville.
Houston better win that game.
Buffalo will be at Denver.
Kansas City at Arizona in a west coast battle.
Because the autumn wind is right out.
San Francisco at Oakland.
Snooze fast.
St. Louis.
Seattle at Filly your night game next week.
New England at San Diego.
I'll watch.
That'll be interesting to watch.
And then your Monday night game, the Atlanta Falcons go to
the Frozen Tundra of the Lamborghini.
As Atlanta takes on Green Bay, the buys are over.
Everybody's all in at this point.
So we are on the home stretch of the playoffs.
That's one day it kills me off football season.
It's like you blink and to over.
Yeah.
We've got a lot going on standing wise though.
I mean, you're looking at Denver, San Diego.
Only separated by a half game.
Indie and Houston separated by two games.
Baltimore and Cincinnati.
Really.
And Baltimore.
Baltimore Pittsburgh and Cleveland are in a three way
tie for second place in that right now.
And all three of them are a game and a half or behind
Cincinnati because Cincinnati had that tie.
And we have Cincinnati twice in Cleveland.
Buffalo tied with with all those three now.
Now that they won't close in the east.
Buffalo is two games behind New England.
Miami's a game and a half back.
But right now they're in second place because Miami doesn't play
until tomorrow night.
Great.
Just one right now.
And Green Bay wins 26 21, which now makes New England nine and three.
So it's, this is the tightest.
I think we've seen a playoff picture in a long time.
Usually by now, you can almost map out the playoffs.
Right.
And I think that's what makes it great to say.
They get started putting all the division games on the show.
The division games at the end of the season in the last couple of years.
They try to put most schedule notoriety.
Well, no, no.
No, that's what Gidel did two years ago.
He's in a week's to have a team.
Everybody plays division games, so you're not sitting your star.
You're trying to print.
You know, you got six division games.
They're trying to put at least three or four in the last five or six weeks.
And then if they use it, maybe the best.
I don't know.
Because the Cowboys and Eagles.
If they play again, then that shows your division leader, possibly.
You are listening to the Clubhouse podcast.
We are live every Sunday, night, seven Eastern, four Pacific.
If you miss any section of the show live, it's immediately available immediately after we go
off there on the archive or subscribe on iTunes.
Because if you subscribe on iTunes, you get stuff other people don't.
I'm just saying it makes you in a special club about 60 something special.
No, it really doesn't.
But it's okay.
Let's go to POI.
POI stands for a person of interest.
It is a segment that we do on this show where we pick a person or an entity to bait their
greatness or lack there of.
I got to do POI in the list this week.
This is a channel.
By the time I got to it, I was like, I'm not going to put it on him now.
We probably did this last year, but I want to talk about it a little bit differently this year.
We are wrapping up Thanksgiving weekend, of course.
Which also wraps up the biggest shopping weekend of the year.
And we have said on this show how much we abore stores being open on Thanksgiving.
I get that the, you open the grocery stores stay open till noon.
I respect that because if you're like me and you forget to get stuff you get it covered.
But when Target's open it noon.
And I'm not saying they were, I'm just making things up.
Walmart opened it.
What?
Two?
No, they all put that six o'clock.
I just, I've never been a fan of doing any shopping out because the only thing you did on Thanksgiving
is you went to the movies.
Because the movie theater was the only place open.
And that was the tradition in my family with all of us grandkids.
First of all, we all sat at, you know, God rest both of my grandparents are gone.
Within six months of each other.
But up until the last time that we were all in the same room for a meal,
the grandkids were always at the kids table.
It's like we're at our 20s for God's sake.
Can we get a seat at the adult table?
No.
So the thing was, we would all get together after the meal and all the adults are,
they have to have that with their coffee.
We hit the movies.
All of us together, we go.
Well, now it's, oh wait a minute, Walmart's open there.
I actually heard the Galleria in Houston was telling its store merchants
that they would be fine if they did not open Thanksgiving night.
Yeah, I saw that really.
Yeah, I was done in Houston this weekend.
And that annoys me to know.
Yeah.
Now I can understand if you have people like,
if I didn't have them, which I didn't there for a little while.
If you don't have local family and you want to make some extra money,
work on a skeleton crew or just say, hey,
you know, if you want to work, come work.
And people are just going to have to deal with that.
But we're at the point now within five years,
Thanksgiving's saying I'm going to be a thing.
And it hacks me off to know end.
So the question becomes gentlemen,
hey, did you do any shopping this weekend?
The out of normal, like I went to the grocery store today
because I needed milk and I needed detergent.
Did you do any specialty shopping?
We had black Friday.
We had small business Saturday,
which I always think is weird because it's sponsored by American Express.
And then tomorrow is Cyber Monday,
which is actually going to come up later in the show as well.
Did you gentlemen do any shopping this weekend?
Not at all.
Didn't even think about it across my mind that I wanted to go shopping.
And darn me actually hit in a couple presence away
from having everybody done.
But I did do so for the weekend or during this weekend.
Well, after this weekend,
what happened to us in Houston and we had some, you know,
we'd said relaxing weekend.
Yeah, friend of the show, Gary.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you, Gary, for having done with your family.
Hot tub and, you know,
you can turkey, watch and football.
No need to know that.
But we're just having a good time, you know.
But on Friday in the late afternoon,
we had to go to the store and we went to Walmart.
And there are some deals there, not like, you know,
the big six o'clock tonight before.
But there's some good deals and I'd say,
Mom, here, you get some Christmas shopping.
I just got the paycheck in that kind of thing.
So I did some, but it wasn't like the goal.
I had to hit Friday morning like my mother does.
My mom is out the door.
She does all that deals on the Thursday Friday and all that.
And see, for us growing up,
it was always the day after Christmas was when you did that.
Because that's when everybody had their liquidation cells
because they were getting ready for inventory.
But then they started the black Friday to try to get people out there,
which I couldn't understand.
But now, you know, like you said, Walmart was a big leader and saying,
let's, and you look at the ads that you see,
we're, we're open Thursday and black Friday.
They don't say, we're open Thanksgiving.
Right.
I noticed that on the ads.
They never say, we're open Thanksgiving.
We're open on Thursday.
Now, my wife, the lovely and talented Mrs. Irvin,
is a fan of black Friday.
And this was the first year that she didn't do it
in about the last five.
Because usually, like, we'd stay local.
And then she'd get, you know, she'd leave,
sometimes she'd go to her best friend's house after dinner
and then they'd put a plan together.
Which I get that I can roll with that.
I have no problem with black Friday at all.
But my whole thing is don't open until Friday.
Yeah, man.
If you want to open it, you know, five A.M. on Friday.
I get that.
It's Friday.
But let these people have Thanksgiving with their families.
Are the CEOs and the big wigs and the executives
or are they in the office?
I guarantee you.
They're not exactly.
Exactly.
You know, exactly.
I talked to a lady.
There were some sunglasses.
I said, Macy's.
Nearby apartment.
And she said that she worked.
She hasn't been.
Had a day off since Wednesday.
See, that's insane.
Yeah.
That's sad.
And I really feel for people that work recently.
I worked retail for many, many years.
And it's kind of like a ride of passage now when you're going up.
You got to work retail at some point.
Right.
And Christmas season is insane enough alone.
I did two Christmas seasons at Toys Are Us.
Which I think does qualify me to teach the third grade.
But it's, you know, when you're open, six A.M.
to midnight for three weeks straight.
And the second season I worked there, I did night crew.
So I was working.
Do it helping restock shelves from 11 at night till seven in the morning.
And you want to know the really wheels off.
Think as I think statute of limitations must be up by now.
We had no manager.
So they locked us in the building.
What?
I'm not hitting you.
We had no manager that would work the overnight shifts.
So when the store closed in midnight, we were there in 11.
So it closes in midnight.
We were locked in the building until somebody got there at seven A.M.
The weather's out.
What?
I'm seeing it.
Yeah.
Little wheels off.
I'm just saying.
I remember I grew up old school in Montana or Wyoming.
There was nothing open on Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Nothing.
Not even the quick marks.
Nothing.
You know, the grocery stores were called nobody was open.
They thought it's a crime.
Somebody opened.
We can understand hospitals.
We can understand fire departments.
All that.
You know.
But it just.
It ruins it.
What's the thing?
It's giving now.
Yeah.
I'll give you one real quick.
The when I worked for that major restaurant chain.
When I worked at the corporate.
For many, many years.
Yeah, many, many years.
When we got about out one private.
The CEO, when we were talking one time.
And he said, he said he's thinking about opening that chain.
I'm Thanksgiving.
And I said,
Do you want to come in here and work eight to five here on Thanksgiving day?
We go snow.
Go.
Then why would you make the employees do that?
Give them a day off.
If you want to come in here, work eight to five in the office.
Make everybody come in and work eight to five on Thanksgiving.
Don't expect employees to do it.
Let them have a day.
No, I'm with you.
I mean, I worked at a local sports bar.
And when our owner decided we were going to be open Christmas day.
We were the only restaurant on either side of the highway.
And this, this sports bar is located in what's known as.
The local restaurant row.
Yeah.
There's probably 12 or 13 restaurants there.
When we were the ones that were open, we were the only restaurant open.
The only one.
And now they're all open.
It's, it's crazy to think how far that it's come.
Well, just like you, the only thing that I remember ever being open.
And that opened around four or five was the movie theater.
Right.
And plus, when I were to the movie theater, we always canceled the first show.
So the first show was in until two or three.
So that way it gave us time has been time with our families.
Yes.
And go do what we do.
And then come to work.
You know what the shame is on the movie theaters.
Like, I'm see, they do not give them time and a half on working the hall.
We didn't even time enough.
No, that's a crime.
That's a crime.
But see, that's not the law, though.
They don't have to do that.
But let's, you know, I think yes, they should.
They should, but they don't have to.
Yeah.
Here's your eight bucks an hour in Christmas day.
Not even time and a half.
Oh, I won't.
Yeah.
And it was, it was insanity.
Yeah.
It was absolute insanity because we were the only place open.
Yeah.
But I just, I don't know.
I'll check out, and because you know, Amazon tomorrow does cyber Monday.
Yeah, I'm gonna check out.
I'll check and see if there's anything worth looking at.
Because my wife and I had actually put a dollar limit on what we can spend on each other this year.
That's, that's a little different for us.
Yeah.
I hate that, though, because it's my wife.
You know what?
Just saying the leveling touted.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if it's like a rare item or specialty item, then I think that's acceptable.
Well, all right, gentlemen.
Anything else you want to add for this?
Let's keep the holiday.
I agree.
Keep the holiday.

Hey, no wrong with it.
All right, gentlemen.
Since we are your one-stop shop for all things, sports and entertainment.
Let's get back to the entertainment side and do a little music talk.
So there's going to be a biopic on Folk Singer Jonny Mitchell, which is a read.
This is a readmix.
Did you hear the background of one of her song called Big Yellow Taxi?
The rumors at one point was that Taylor Swift was going to play her.
Until Jonny Mitchell said, eh!
She personally next that casting.
Wow.
I believe the quote was, what is she just?
She just has high cheekbones.
I don't think they spent Thanksgiving together at all.
Yeah.
You might say I'm at the Black Friday sale somewhere.
So I think we all know what Taylor Swift's next album is going to be about.
Oh yeah.
Not getting to play Jonny Mitchell.
You know, sometimes the comedy writes itself.
I'm just saying.
Just like her songs apparently do.
Yes, I'll tell you what.
Your data, your better mirror.
Oh, I have something to share with y'all off here.
Okay, fair enough.
And, uh, brand new album coming out announced this week by these guys.
I love this song right here.
I'm not this play for a minute.
Fall out boy.
Their new album will be called American Beauty American Psycho.
We'll be released on January the 20th.
Interesting.
I haven't heard a song by these guys.
I don't like the last song.
Who was that sugar work going on?
That was their first single, sir.
Yeah, that's the last one.
This was actually called America's Sweet Hearts, SUIT.
But it's, I like them.
You know, I feel bad for the kid that was married to Ashley Simpson,
but that was his choice.
Yeah.
They're also featured in a movie that I very much enjoy.
And we'll talk about it.
It's called Sex Drive.
If you're seeing it, it's very funny.
Oh, yeah.
Or they're the band at the Amish colony.
Roop Springer.
Such a great movie.
I'd actually saw that movie like in the heart of Amish country.
I was in Indiana when I saw it.
Really.
And so, you know, they know all about the Amish.
So the girl I was training, I was like, so tell me, is this the thing?
You know, everything that they portrayed, that's kind of pretty much the way it is.
Like, Roop Springer's really a thing.
Basically what happens is when you're, when you're Amish and you turn 16 or 17,
they let you out of the colony.
And you go, just, you do, it's just like this crazed.
They do whatever they want.
The parents fund it.
They're party and they're living it up.
And then they have to make a choice.
They either come back to the, to the colony and they live as Amish.
Or they don't, but they can never come back.
And it was thought at one point one Springer was only like a year,
but it can go longer.
Really.
So, how old are you when they go to this?
16, 17, 18.
Okay, there you go.
Wow.
And that's all the music headlines I saw this week that really caught my attention.
Nathan, you gentlemen.
Not really.
Not really.
All right, let's go into, uh, music new releases this week, a reunion album of sorts.
For take that, they were a big British boy band around during the, uh,
the, uh, in sync back street boys era.
I never heard of you.
featuring Gary Barlow who was doing this.
This is, uh, with his solo version of one of their songs.
Called back for good.
The new album is called three or it's called ill.
I don't really know.
Yeah.
Because it just looks like three, three ones, but it could be a capital eye into
or case else.
I don't know.
I'm going to assume it's three.
Yeah.
So, also brand new album from these guys.
They know this is not PC boys.
AC DC releases rock or bust this week.
Oh, I'm interested.
It's been a while since I've heard.
I've heard some early reviews and people are going to the hits, man.
Really?
Yeah.
So, as a band at all, the way or anything new that comes out is not going to be good.
Well, then they had the whole drama with their old drummer who allegedly took a
hit out on somebody and then they said it wasn't him and, and now you've got, uh,
don't recover at that.
One of their, one of their band members is dealing with dementia, which is not good.
Which one's that?
Uh, one of the young's not, not angstial.
Oh, Brian, uh, Brian Young?
No, that's Brian Johnson's.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So, also a brand new album from this lady.
To me, this is only a really good song ever.
Because, Mary J. Blitz, I'm not a huge fan of.
I just sing the song.
Every note doesn't have to take an hour and a half.
She, Beyonce has Mary J. Blitz disease that clarifies it for you.
Yeah.
It's just sing the song.
Now, I like this song because it's got vegan in it.
So, you know, the remix does.
But her brand new album, The London Sessions, releases this week.
Also a brand new album from she and him.
Now, do you know what this is done?
She and him?
No.
I never heard of him.
Features the Zoe Deschanel.
This is her band.
Okay.
And it's called classics.
It is a cover album.
And a brand new album from this group.
Oh, Steven's just now tuning in.
So, what's up, Steven?
Welcome, Steven.
He was doing a, you know, he works for Nintendo now.
Oh, he just got done with a Pokemon AMA on Reddit.
So, oh.
Oh, I have to get a brand new album from the Wooten clan.
It's called a better tomorrow.
And people would say, well, you know, with ODP gone.
It doesn't matter because the Wooten tan is just interchangeable.
It is.
It's like 150 of them.
It's like stores got one set.
I'm not sure, but I think I was in the Wooten clan for an hour and a half.
I don't know.
Yeah, Wooten.
I like Wooten.
Same here.
I love this song specifically.
Cash rules everything around me.
Get the money, dolla, dolla, boo, y'all.
What happened to him?
Get me the way.
For good.
Yeah, some, some would argue.
You are listening to the clubhouse podcast.
Two weeks.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
No, two weeks from tonight's TLC isn't it?
Two weeks.
The final WWE pay per view of the year.
We will be doing our live preshow from an undisclosed location.
As we get ready to wrap up the year for WWE,
but it's not time for resting time because it is time for college football talk.
Great iron.
Playoff rankings did not change this past week,
which a better believe come Tuesday night.
There will be some shuffling in the top four.
Definitely Nebraska in a surprise move today.
Fire's bow polini after nine seasons.
Sixties are somewhere in seven seasons.
Sixty seven and twenty seven.
Nine and three this season.
Do they really believe that there's a savior out there
and it's going to turn Nebraska around and make him what they were in the 80s
because they're highly doubting.
Yeah, I don't think so.
They're at their defense has been lackluster for that amount of time.
Sixty seven and twenty seven.
Solid credential.
Yeah, you know what?
I mean, I understand and must change it, leaving Florida.
I get it.
I have no ill will towards the man.
It just didn't work out.
This surprised me.
This was a surprise move to me.
They're not bad.
You may be looking at your new Florida.
Hey coach.
Polini?
No.
That's just coming from that system to assist some Florida's trying to run.
It's just not going to work.
Well, I can change that, right?
Be in the head coach.
You could change me to be in a system that can throw the ball.
Florida is not, it's not Nebraska.
That's sure.
You know, there was a store in ESPN about five years ago where when he,
seven years ago when he first came in and they had their spring game.
And they said 80,000 people were on their feet because by God,
Nebraska threw the ball.
Last Tuesday.
Ohio over Miami of Ohio, 24 to 21.
Thanksgiving Knights.
LSU goes to A&M and goes.
Oh yeah, that's right.
You're in the SEC now.
We're the 23 to 17 when not nearly as bad as Texas in their house.
As TCU number five comes in and hangs 48 to 10 on them.
I think that was expected.
That is unfortunate.
Yeah.
And then let's go to Friday.
You got to slew a games on Friday this week.
My beloved South Florida Bulls falls 16 to nothing to UCF.
Nebraska, the aforementioned Nebraska.
Beat Iowa 37 to 34 and has Nebraska.
That's a game you have to win.
And then we fire.
SMU takes a shellacking from Houston 35 to nine.
And another game where God forbid you have the under in over time.
Western Kentucky over number 24 Marshall 67 to 66.
If you have the under, you just lost your car.
Okay.
And if you took the under, you probably aren't that bright to begin with.
Ball State over Bowling Green 41 to 24 Toledo over Eastern Michigan 52 to 16.
Arkansas falls to number 17 Missouri 21 to 14 Navy with a big win over the University of South Alabama 42 to 40.
Number 11 Arizona over number 13 Arizona State 42 to 35.
Stanford 31 to 10 upsetting number 8 UCLA.
So there will be some shuffling for sure Air Force over Colorado State shouldn't be a whole big distance between those two.
No.
27 24 Virginia Tech over Virginia 24 to 20.
And East Carolina trying to get back in the standings 49 to 32 over Tulsa Saturday.
Gentlemen, I'm a preface this.
I'm not upset.
Really, I'm not upset right now.
Because the fact that Florida State beats Florida by five.
That's a good game for us.
I was expecting to get wonped on in this game.
Really.
With what could be much change final game, we don't know about the bold game yet because we are boweligible.
We've won six games.
Right.
But and we let it to the first quarter.
So I can't be upset.
Isn't that USC's kind of model or Florida State's model or the state's model now?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you know what?
20 24 to 19.
I'm okay with that.
Because I really expected them to just come and open a camp.
Plus the fact that we were in don't Campbell.
So I'm.
Yeah.
That's good.
And Florida State congratulations on another great win.
You may call it a great win, but you know what?
Florida came out to play.
We come out to play for two games every year.
Georgia in Florida State.
For the strike is right.
And the rankings came out.
Florida State is too.
That's the AP.
That's not the place.
Plans won't be until Tuesday.
Yeah.
But that's probably how they'll wind up.
Georgia Tech number 16 upsets number nine Georgia and over time 30 to 24.
Ohio State goes into Michigan or has Michigan come to the horseshoe.
Big win for number six 42 to 28.
Number 22 Louisville over Kentucky 44 to 40 because it is a rivalry weekend.
South Carolina goes into Clemson and falls 35 to 17 Clemson number 21.
Louisiana Tech did you see this?
No.
Rice goes to Louisiana Tech and Louisiana Tech beats them 76 to 31.
What?
Is this a football game?
I'm not sure.
I'm getting word Louisiana Tech just scored again.
So.
Three points.
There's a way down.
Yeah.
North Texas Falls, the UTSA 34 to 27.
Old Dominion.
Do we mention that in football talk?
What?
They beat Florida Atlantic 31 to 28.
C U T C R E E K.
Cookin the creek.
Cookin the creek.
Cookin the creek.
Okay.
Because I don't like to have to say the other way.
Louisiana La Feet.
U Lala beats Troy 42 to 23.
Texas State 54 to 31 over Georgia State.
So congratulations to them.
Arkansas State.
Mikey worked there for many years.
Chad's cousin.
They beat New Mexico State 68 to 35.
Number 10 Michigan State over Penn State 34 to 10.
Number 14 Wisconsin.
Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger.
Beats up on.
They did beat up on Minnesota Badgers.
Now they're golden golfers.
How is gets us who confused?
34 to 24.
Mississippi State.
Here it is.
Goes to Ole Miss and loses 31 to 17.
You don't think the rankings are going to change.
They are.
You believe that.
If it gets you through the night.
Baylor.
Number 7.
Barely beats Texas Tech.
48.
46.
Notre Dame.
Oh.
USC hosts Notre Dame.
And then shows them the door 49 to 14.
Number 12.
Kansas State over Kansas 51 to 13.
Tennessee beats Vandy.
Memphis over Yukon 41 to 10.
That should be a basketball score.
BYU over cow.
Miami loses to pit at home 35 to 23.
Hawaii goes to Fresno State and loses by a touchdown.
But to two games that everybody wants to know about.
Alabama over Auburn again sucks to have the under.
55 to 44.
And Oregon.
Takes Oregon State to the wood shed in their own house.
47 to 19.
Tell me Oregon does not deserve to be in the conversation.
And I'm telling you you're on drugs.
It deserves to be in there.
Mark is in the conversation.
He's beast.
Here's my question.
You look at the rankings right now.
They came out.
Oregon 3.
Alabama 1.
Florida State 2.
Oregon 3.
TCU is 4.
And Baylor is 5.
Okay.
The state is 6.
Makes sense.
Mississippi State went down to 10.
Do the loss.
That makes sense to me too.
Should Baylor be above TCU.
Since the win and loss that they played.
No.
Baylor barely squeaked that went out on their home.
But they still beat them.
And they almost lost the tech.
Strength.
And they're both in a big 12.
They're in the same conference.
But they don't.
But the schedules don't always match.
Because they're in the same conference.
You're out of conference.
Schedule matters just as much as you're in conference.
Schedule.
Does anyone in North Texas is this conference?
Play LSU.
I get beat every year.
Yeah.
I could say that.
They're in the same conference.
Do me a favor.
Read that top four for me again.
Uh.
Bam of Florida State.
Oregon TCU.
And how many SEC teams are in that four?
One.
Your argument for two weeks ago is now no envoy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
But this is a man who claimed the SEC is a monopoly.
Welcome to getting proved wrong.
But they did beat them.
And that is a legit gripe.
Hey, why are they above us?
We have the strength of schedule.
You're out of conference, guys.
I know.
But be a damn shit.
I'll do the strength of schedule.
If we were doing a 64 team tournament.
Yeah.
You beat us.
Go.
Go.
When you're out of conference schedule.
You're playing more quality opponents.
That matters in the eyes of the voters.
If I'm playing teams like SMU or LSU.
Or teams like Notre Dame.
Or US.
And you're playing sister Mary's college for the blind.
I'm going to win that argument every time.
But the thing is.
And that's why you're going to have a scribe.
And it's always about opinions.
Is they have the same schedule.
Same conference.
But they beat them.
Why if they were tied on the.
On the on the.
They play like eight games are the same.
Yeah.
They're like the four outs on games.
But still that eight is a big chunk.
But you're also talking about the same argument by saying.
Yeah.
Why if I play in a conference that has a conference championship game.
And you don't.
Yeah.
Why does that count against me if I lose?
Exactly.
It's because not every conference has a conference championship game.
You got sent tapes into the NCA and say,
This is how you do it.
You know, I've been saying it for years.
I'm just saying.
But.
One more week.
One more week.
We get the bulls.
We get the Heisman.
Can't wait.
Who's your pick for the Heisman?
Right now.
Marcus Mariota.
The kids are beast.
And I said this last year.
I'm a huge fan of Marcus Mariota.
Yeah.
If it's Oregon goes and makes it happen.
There's no other choice to be made.
Because James wins it and you'll get it.
I'm going to take that much.
Well, it's not going to be Johnny football.
It ain't going to be Kenny Trill.
I'll tell you that much either.
Yeah.
You talk about epic fail.
God.
The only thing that hurts Mariota is that no one really cares about him anymore.
Because he's on the West Coast.
And no one packed.
No one stays up that late to watch the games or no one gets up that early.
They're like, I don't know.
They're making a lot of noise, man.
They're making a lot of noise.
It's starting next week.
We'll start doing NBA and NHL.
I wanted that season to have some distance behind it.
So we could really start looking at some patterns.
It's the same reason we don't really look at MLB for two or three weeks.
Right.
America's favorite game show doesn't stop.
Right.
Because we can't do that yet.
Is there maybe one for the NBA depends on how many wins or win they have?
Yeah.
Point differential.
I'm saying it now.
They don't hit double digits, Philly.
Yeah.
Well, they get half way there.
They might get the opposite of the bull's record setting schedule if they hit double digits.
They might be 10 in 72.
God.
That is so.
Just saying that would be the worst record ever, right?
All right, gentlemen.
You need to take a breath.
I need to take a breath.
Because it's time to combine both sports and entertainment as we talk professional wrestling.
Yeah, we're going to start off talking about heaps later.
Let it breathe.
Let it marinate.
Let it wash over you.
Like a colonzing.
It freaking happen people.
We were there.
What we have heard about for almost two years.
The culmination of my stress.
The culmination of my disappointment, my anticipation.
Every emotion you can possibly think of.
I have been through in the last 22 months.
All culminated last Sunday night.
As staying appeared in WWE television.
Not programming because he's been doing that for a while.
But him to be on live WWE television to get in a WWE ring and put a scorpion death drop on somebody.
It has bigger.
He stood up in.
I never thought I ever see him standing up.
Arms in the air.
Arms in the air.
The night.
It happened.
And even though it was maybe two or three minutes, it was glorious.
It was everything it needed to be.
He didn't say anything.
He just came out there.
They had the stare.
And I had.
There was about that quick of me that went.
Don't heal turn him.
In what I tell you.
Him and triple ate from Alvin often.
He could be a heal turn.
But I was just the way they were staring at each other.
I was like, don't heal turn this.
Don't Frenchy this thing.
And then H took the swing and got the scorpion death drop.
And Ziegler's placed over Rollins.
And here we go.
And even though he hasn't appeared since, I'm okay.
Because I know.
And I have faith that they're really making this work right.
Because I don't think Sting would have done it otherwise.
I can't appear probably as much as Lesnar does now.
Well, and the original.
Well, I said this on the show last week.
We were out there watching it.
The difference between WWE and TNA is that TNA has a reason for their champion.
Not be on television.
That's right.
I said it.
WWE does have a reason.
No, they don't.
Yes.
It gives credibility to the belt.
No, it has a win.
They went there 50 guys in two years.
But he hasn't been on TV in two months.
Yeah, I'm not seeing that belt in two months.
It has not been defended for two pay per views in a row.
And if Sina's carrying that belt for two months,
are people happy and excited about that?
But at least he's defending it.
Yeah.
Has it been 30 days though?
Hey, where's the chance?
It hasn't been since night of champions.
I mean, they're about to put Brock Lesnar on the freaking milk cart.
Have you seen this person?
I don't think my belt as many times as Lester has in the last 60 days.
I feel gone under the power plant in WCW to see if he's dropping the belt in the
Transparence.
But the Rours were, nobody knew what they were going to do with him until it happened.
Like they knew he was there.
Some people were told that he was going to appear after the Davis Survivor Series match.
Other people were told that there was going to be a video package that just said sting is coming
Very few people knew about when he was actually going to show up and when I heard that noise
I knew because I was like I don't recognize that theme music
I heard the burn there's only one person this can be
Yeah, and
That's sting if you want I may have scared a couple of people the room because I was like everybody shut up
It's happening right now. I never seen that way so quiet
I was just it was a beautiful glorious wonderful moment a moment that
We never thought would happen
Yeah, exactly that's how it's done
It was it was everything it needed to be
Because now you have multiple directions you can go now what I'm hearing is he's gonna face triple Ich at the rumble and the plan is still to have him and take her at WrestleMania 31
And I have been saying this since it happened
They should have not ended that streak last year I agree because you can imagine but it was sting and take her with the streak on the line
Even though I'll never accept it
I'm content with it because Mark signed off on it if the undertaker signs off on it on a certain level
I can't be a man, but what's it? I bet he was his idea
Some people have said that that he wanted to do this last year
He's been given so much respect to UFC lately. I think he's lost a little bit for what he built in his career now
Lesnar is scheduled to return next Monday night for the slammies
Rumor is Hayman's gonna be on Raw tomorrow night
Which by the way is gonna be cyber Monday for WWE as well?
They're gonna take the old taboo Tuesday format and they're gonna do it on on a raw tomorrow night
Oh, really for cyber Monday
So you can buy things different hours? No, no, no
That's where they have the paper view where everything basically every match-up the fans picked
What the stipulations are the referee or the opponent were? Oh, yeah, that's what they're doing for cyber Monday tomorrow night
It started out as taboo Tuesday and then they turned into the cyber Tuesday or something like that
But no cyber Monday. That's what they're gonna do tomorrow
So I'll watch some old reasons of something
I mean, I'll check it out of course. I mean, we're gonna be at a screen. I'm gonna be a screen. So
There is that. Oh, what happened?
Happened to me. Okay. Oh
My iPad would tell me I was like no the battery's not dead. I can't be oh
Wow, we I one thing I want to add in wrestling talk. Yes, I
Punked it that to our podcast. Did you hear about that? Yeah
I'm in some ripping in here, but done Ryborg there was nothing in that in that interview that gave me any pause
That interview was CM Punk being CM Punk
And money talks and BS walks and they're gonna throw enough money at him that he's going to show up
And you know what I equate this to remember dang of Brian getting fired when he hung that Josh Matthews with his own tie
And the whole thing was a work and he went off for six months and he did indie dates and then all of a sudden
He shows back up. It's going to happen
Yeah, because it was really if it was really that bad his wife would not still work for the company
Valid ride and I'm not saying it's all a work
But I think there's a certain percentage of this that is a work. They are also saying tomorrow night
They're doing a live video podcast
With Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon it's scheduled to go for an hour after the after all after raw and
Austin has said it will it will be on his podcast
Probably next Thursday. He says there's usually about a ten-day gap
Part two of his interview with Bray Wyatt will be this week. I really enjoyed
The first part of that interview. If you haven't checked it out. Please do so
Thought it was a very very good interview
Kind of bad cell reception
Yeah, Vince was they said Vince was annoyed but H is full blown hacked
Yeah, and Ryberg is
Ryberg yeah, like a baby. CM Punk is just a baby himself
I know who supports the work with our
Orton or Ryberg who hurt more wrestlers
You got put right in the area. Yeah, I mean
I mean hurt the other wrestlers is what I'm talking about you know people that work with them, you know
All Orton has injured a lot of people
And a lot of people have injured Orton too
He put you put Ryberg and Orton and still cage match their careers are over because of both kill each other
Is Ray Mysterio the judge?
It was a wrap
All right, Jim, let's talk about wrong
So did anybody notice anything about triple H is opening
promo Monday night
Andrew you were here. Yeah, so I just qualify you from this discussion yeah
Go back and listen to that promo he ripped half of it from a few good men
From Nicholson's monologue at the end of the film the whole you can't handle the truth monologue
Half of that is word for word from that monologue
All he was lacking was you need me in this ring you want me in this ring
Because I'm looking at Chad and Chad's looking at me and we're going
He looks like he goes are you hearing what I'm hearing? I'm looking to say it's ripping off that monologue is that triple H
Your technical son
I mean he even did the whole who's gonna do it if we don't you
Was he gonna fall that with wineburg because that's the next word
But go back and I'm sure somebody has it transcribed somewhere
Go back it's almost word for word in some sections
My assignment for the next couple of weeks. I'm just saying
It's just and the fact that I know what he said anything
Yeah, like I've looked around on the and I don't I have I mean I'm sure other people have noticed it besides me
But nobody's vocalized it
Does that show you the quality of the product they're putting out is is that
And the reason I know that was because we had that movie at my movie theater in high school
And back when I used to us you'd have to clean the theaters. I watched the last 10 minutes of every movie
So I've seen the last 10 minutes of a few good men about 150 times
At one point I could do the entire monologue
Because I because I'd seen it so many times
Is it just me or the older canes getting the more he's looking like backland
Yeah, yeah
When you first said it, I didn't think that but going back and looking at it. I was thinking
He's looking more and more like a very tall bob-backland
Spits are a red we know him in it at both times
Yeah, it's like more professional. It's so insurance fire insurance
I'm just saying
And so
We had the premiere of farndongo 2.0
No, first of all
Props to the people who did the theme because they turned his theme into a flamenco song and it's the same song
Which but he said yeah, I can't do the dawn don't on well you don't and it's just different now
The background
Now don when you saw him yeah, I want to know if you thought what I thought what did you see when you saw it?
I was looking more at Rosa
Oh, it's a fair point
I saw him but it's like now he's a dancing Samuel Shaw
Think about it think about it. Let it sink in
Oh, yeah, we see where I'm going with this. Yes, I do he's a dancing Samuel Shaw now
I miss the dawn
Related and message to French
Mulligan. I don't think anybody was whispering that you're a traitor because it's pretty much the entire arena was screaming it
I
More touchy yeah, you can't remember can we have more face turns that then you know plastic surgeons and Beverly Hills
I just thought I just thought this was that heel turn was a bad idea that heel turn was a bad idea
It's called wrestling what
logic
echo chamber echo chair. I just I don't
I friend she just as he's getting older. He's harder to deal with as a heel
But he tends to be a little too cheesy as a face too. So it's he's in a weird place for me. I still love him. I still think he's a homophamer
I'm a big fan the problem with guys like that is that that are naturally likable like that
They work best as a as a tweeter
Because they're not fully believable
It's a heel
That's my thing with him because his personality goes one way or the other
A guy like Orton or a guy like H you can tweet because they've got that edge to him
That that just that rough harshness friend she doesn't have that
Now question
Who do you like better Mark Henry face or Mark Henry the heel face okay? Henry's terrible heel
Without a mouthpiece for him. He's not a good heel
Because he's a borderline hall of favor for me
I don't know that I put him in the hall of fame
But I don't know that I don't he's been there so long, but he's been so irrelevant
And I think that's why yeah because he's been with the company so long right I think if you never had a curtain angle
He would be more of a lock for the hall of fame, but I think Kurt angle over shadows him
But the curtain angle really bring him to prominence
No, but I'm just saying the whole Olympic thing yeah if you don't have Kurt angle
I
Would be more apt to put Mark Henry in the hall of fame because he's the only Olympian that we know of Kurt angle comes along and as Stone Cold Steve Austin says on his podcast
Adapted to the industry faster than anybody he's ever seen
Kurt angle kind of pushed him down the list
Right
But still I don't mean out of all the Olympians. Oh, yeah the two of them how lucky are you to get two of them like right no I agree
Although you don't have creative for him, but it's also weird
Texting me a picture
Pain in that growth on his back that we were talking about last week
I never even noticed a full risk got these have to yeah, what is that?
Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry to what it is that they get you some anti-biotic
All right gentlemen, let's talk a little just a little bit of TNA talk because we're not gonna be doing any more impact talk and talk to the first of the year because I'm not gonna
Talk about a recap show. I'm not gonna watch it with you. Yeah, there's nothing. Yeah, there's no TNA for the next six but
Making steps forward Mike to nay out
From the from the announced desk Josh Matthews in grandpa's gone
Well, I like Josh Matthews. I don't know if he's he's your leader now sir
No, but it's better than TNA
Definitely TNA was never a lead guy to nay was the guy his row and WCW or he would give you backgrounds on people
He was the professor. I was cool with that as a lead play-by-play guy I'm out
Is this addition by subtraction in addition? I would agree with that. I I
Matthews is not the ideal situation, but he's better than what you have
So
Also
Impact possibly live on destination America really they're trying to make impact their flagship show
Because their highest rated show took it about a half a million viewers
Impact can do better than that. Yeah, it's really bad
But they're talking about either going live or being on a one to two hour tape delay like they were there for a while go live go live go live
People in America, they want something to go to
I mean that they will if you give them tickets or somebody buys them and gives them away they will go just because they say they can go
I mean
You look at
They filmed the last show was you know a little for a week and a half ago
They filmed that like six seven weeks ago. Yeah
I mean like talk about a tape delay. I mean
And
Yoshi taught to and now another wrestler in New Japan have been hospitalized after botched styles clashes
From AJJ
Wow
Is this another pile driver?
We're gonna I don't know, but there there are people out there banging him to stop using it
Wow
So and I like AJ
Yoshi's a big name they can't lose him can't lose him
AJ tighten that thing up man
Because I like I really think he missed an opportunity
Yeah, I know that
WWE wanted to pay him pennies on the dollar for what he was making but anything's better than nothing and WWE is still better exposure than New Japan
Then what Yoshi?
They didn't utilize him enough
Well
Death, but see that's WWE and international supercar
They're American audience
They don't really know yeah, I mean now you call these gone they lost Yoshi, who do they haven't internationally?
Even they even said it Paul Hayman said on that ECW thing
Cesaro was so underrated he should be champion
Two times already by now. Yeah, you know and his swing please bring that back. Oh no everybody loved it
But we'll use a peel. Yeah, because he's a bit too much
Well, then let's go ahead and talk about some SmackDown headlines
Now saying Orton may not be back until TLC
So
No TLC
That's two weeks from today. Okay, I'm no one
Well, we all thought maybe he'd be back for the room for the first survivor series, but now they're saying they may hold him until TLC
Was it that it was the injury that
No, never remember he went to go make a movie. Oh, yeah, that was how they rode him out. Look at his part, too
Yeah, yeah, because there was somebody an answered question to the person right
Why is no cold
Still a question
Let's do some SmackDown talk for just a minute
You said that
Well, the show itself
I just we had some audacity issues
So for if you're listening on iTunes and you hear a little bit of a skip or a fade out and fade back in
That's what happened. We've my audacity crashed on me. Are DJ's not in the coma. Yeah, pretty much
So we were all asking Monday night
What the crap with Russe if he didn't say the pledge and he didn't do the battle right. Well
There was your closure on Thursday night. They had the battle royale Thursday night. So there was that and apparently
Missing a chair shot constitutes a DQ now
Because Ryback was wrestling Seth Rollins and King came to bring with a chair and missed it by a mile and they deecute him
I thought you only got any four thumbs in the made contact
He brought it into the right. It's a four-an-object
Dude you're closer to me than that chair shot was to yeah, okay
And let me make sure I'm clear on something
We we can't do the new nation with coffee
Langston and woods, but this new day thing is okay
So we so we lose one stereotype for another
Oh
Shoot me now just like I don't get it. I mean, maybe I'm missing something getting sick and maybe I I don't know
I'll be a bucket
I was like are you kidding me?
This is what we're doing. There's about three fan dance three fans dancing and they kept on putting a camera on them
The three fans dance and then when they went into the crowd
Hey
But you know what did you notice anything when King was doing the merchandise sales
Steady
There was a sting hoodie on the wall right behind him and they've got a whole bunch of merch for him now on shop
Yeah, fake really like a bunch. There's like one that's got his face and on the back it's his stung
Oh, yeah, they got a whole bunch. Oh, but they've got pajama pants now, which I'm very excited about
One thing that Nicky Bella in John's seat even tweeted about
That little promo with the Bella's after the beating got edited out. Yes, got they edited it
None of that out really
Bitch, how do you the crowd even cheered Bella's and they edited that out
Wow, I still think this is gonna turn into it before too much longer
Breeze gonna turn back face and it's gonna be I did it so you could have a title now. I'm gonna take that from you too
But get that done quickly because this is doing nothing for you
This are on TV
Are then yeah, so the WWE finally figure out that like sting is their steroid like their cash steroid
This is how I'll you make money
I think they both realized it. Yeah, and the best of sting is on my Amazon wishlist
So don't have it and you're guaranteed sting's getting some of that cash
Oh, she's getting a ton of it. Yeah, that's yeah
We're gonna back with him to walk to hatchy Texas and California because apparently it now has houses in both places
What is how's walks hatching you get a for it?
But he is apparently he still kept his house in him in California. I doubt you son well
All right gentlemen anything else for we move on now. All right. Let's do movie talk
Box office numbers
Dropping out we have a lot of movies dropping out of the top 10 this week
Dropping from six to eleven is beyond the lights
That's made just under nine at 13 million dollars on a seven million dollar budget
fury
Drops from eight to twelve
They made another million and a half
81.9 million on sixty a million dollar budget
I thought we had more dropout, but I can't read it though very good
I just can't read that's my problem
Coming in ten dropping from seven to ten this week is one of my favorite movies of the year Saint Vincent
One point eight million dollars for an eight week total of thirty nine point three million dollars
I still don't have a budget on that from our friends at box office mojo.com
Nine place staying their bird man, which I've heard amazing things about
Michael key now. I want to check that out
One point nine million dollars seven weeks 17.2 million dollars on an eighteen million dollar budget
And that's after it lost fifty hundred fifty two theaters, but it gained almost a percent and a half over last week
In eighth place dropping from five to eight, but still in the top ten is gone girl
Makes another two point five million dollars for a nine week total of a hundred and sixty point eight million dollars
It is almost a hundred million dollars over budget now
Wow, so doing well the theory of everything the new movie about
The true story of Stephen Hawking and his wife
Jumps from ten to seven this week. I heard good things about that five point one million dollars for a four week total of nine point six million dollars
It has to have made money by now because it doesn't look like it was a big budget film
Dumb and Dumber two drops from four to six eight point three million dollars three weeks
72.2 million dollars
Horrible bosses two opens in fifth place
15.7 million dollars
total so far 23.0 million dollars now the reason I say that is because it opened Wednesday
So we're only looking at box office Friday Saturday Sunday
Interstellar
drops from three to four this week 15.8 million dollars after four weeks it is still
18 million still to hit budget
147
0.1 million dollars on 165 million dollar budget now apparently AMC is actually selling you a ticket
Where you can go see this movie as many times as you can in the next month because apparently it's it's
Hard to wrap your brain around in one sitting really for three hours
Big hero six drops from two to three this week
18.8 million dollars four weeks
167.2 million dollars it has barely beaten budget at this point
but expect that to pick up more steam as we get into the holiday season and remember kids
It's not a Disney movie it's a Marvel movie okay
It's not forget that
Day viewing in this silver metal category penguins of Madagascar
25.8 million dollars it opened on Wednesday it's done 36 million
Well, I know what I thought
Subscribe on iTunes
Because we did do a special edition though and still number one I saw this movie yesterday
Hunger Games mocking J part one makes 56.9 million dollars for a two week total
225.7 million dollars budget was 125 million oh you know they're gonna break that in the first week
I liked it. Oh, so I I very much enjoyed this film
Ended exactly where Charlotte thought it would end. Yeah, I asked her as soon as it was over because she was I took her because it was her belated birthday gift
We were talking at the paper view and I saw you because I saw it right for the paper. Oh, it's for and I said
You want to work it for you. It's often she goes. Yeah, just tell me and then that said you had to at this part this part
Just goes yep. I was right people are gonna be mad
Yeah, but I wasn't I was like that's exactly where if you're gonna split it in half
That's the good stopping point if they would cut it off about two minutes prior. Yes, then that's right
I would and there's a scene right towards the end like I'm glad I haven't read the books because like my heart started racing
Is this what happened and Charlotte even said to me? I've read the books. I knew what was gonna happen
And I was still a little tense so
And I loved that that Lord song that they play over the end credit. Oh, yeah, that was a huge fan of that
So
I would just have to wait another year
One more year. Oh, there's a scene. I want to talk you about that. Yeah, we'll do it off here. Oh, yeah, yeah
All right, boys
Let's just keep this music going
If there was a week that Chad should not have taken off from the show this is it
Friday morning I woke up my wife was still asleep
So the shower got dressed because I knew we would be heading back to Dallas from north Austin
Had a little breakfast
And I waited
And at 9.18 a.m. central standard time
I went to the apple trailers app
And I had a man cried moment
Because the teaser trailer for star wars episode seven the force awakens
Took the world by storm
And if you saw my post on Facebook
That is how you break the internet in Kardashian
There were so many people that were posting so many things people like is this it? Is this it? No, no, just got just wait
It will it will happen organically because there were a lot of fan-made trailers out there
That's like guys just wait on it
Let JJ do what JJ does
There's a great article on entertainment weekly's website
That dissects the teaser scene by scene
Don have you seen the teaser trailer? Yes, it would even be national news did you notice who was sitting in the x-wing
In the teaser trailer? No, I just I just do the whole thing starting I saw part half of it
But now I will tell you this first of all. I'm it's been long enough
I don't care what people say the lightsaber with the hilt yes
We're so cool
That solves the whole getting your arm chopped off problem. Yeah, you know, yeah a lot of people didn't like it. I'm on board
I'm on board with this thing the shot at the end of the falcon and the shot of the x-wings on the water
Amazing. I'm in oh
Amazing JJ just do you bro just do you but don't
Don't let me wait longer than a couple of months for another trailer. I'm just saying because
One thing that he did that I thought was genius in this trailer. What didn't you see in this trailer?
characters
You saw a couple of them
You didn't see Mark Hamill
You didn't see Harrison Ford you didn't see Carrie Fisher and I thought was that was a master stroke
What about the white tape with the back to that might have been Mark Hamill. It wasn't okay
Theory is that's Adam Driver because that I'm driver's the bad guy and that's the voice you hear in the trailer is actually Andy circus
We found that out yesterday
No to Hollywood do not even think about opening a movie the weekend that Star Wars comes out
You will get to it's opening in December
There's gonna be a whole ton of things opening at that point. Yeah, what's gonna take the cake?
Oh yeah, it's all I'm gonna be talking about after Thanksgiving. Yeah, once Mark and Jay part two comes out and I see that
I'm full bore Star Wars. Yeah
It didn't matter
It's about to go down
Thank you, Jay Jay for restoring my faith in humanity
Thank you for Lucas for selling so they can actually make it best three billion dollars Disney ever spent
So let me go back to the ex-wing scene
You've seen that man before done
His name is Oscar Isaac
He is your lead actor and a movie you and I saw recently that we can't talk about for another month
That's who that is you want to know else another movie he's gonna be in
He's playing apocalypse and ex-man apocalypse
What yes, his acting Craig just went through the roof. He's gonna be in Star Wars and Xman are you kidding me?
Wow, then now it's that unfarty that he is gonna be apocalypse and ex-man apocalypse
Yeah, I can see oh
This guy's geek credit
I had to use the Avengers music because I couldn't find anything for Xman, but it's before that he's really had nothing really really huge
Need to his credit is hello. Yeah
What better way to jump start a career than that and now that I can watch the age of Ultron trailer because on nothing but trailers now
Like I got to watch it on my 70 inch TV other day. I was like
I was like honey coming the room coming there. Yeah, it jamespaders. You have to see this jamespaders perfect for that character
I mean it is spot on that's another teaser trailer that between Joss Weedon and JJ Abrams my god, man my god, man
See the game's like man. I can't do suspense like that. Oh
You're speaking of which I don't know if we we didn't talk about it last week
The guy that directed the fault in our stars
He recently was on like one of Kevin Smith's podcasts. He's directing Steven King's the stand
Really he's doing in four movies
Four movies he's doing the stand in four film to go there's so much
Story to tell it's gonna take four movies to do it and if you have like you remember that's also came out probably
20 years ago. Oh, yeah, I'll be closer to 30. Yeah, I'll turn that came out. That wasn't a stand
I mean the movie that came out. Oh
The book was early. Oh, no, I know that. I'm talking about the movie. That was still like a eight-hour movie or something like that on the well
There's a mini series. Oh, yeah
So yeah, that's awesome
So also I didn't I didn't know that a
Dante from clerks
His name is take not Dante, but Randall his name is taking from the characters in the stand
Really, yeah, oh, need flag
So that's got I don't know how to think about this next story because I never saw the first one
But they are doing hotel transfervania to
The Adam Sandler animated movie and Mel Brooks will be voicing the father of Dracula. I just don't know how I feel about this
I don't know
Did they put Mel Brooks in it so people will go see it. I like my books. Yeah, so the one thing
Also
Independence Day 2 has officially been greenlit. It is officially happening and they stars named in it nothing yet
We'll smoke gonna be back
Back again now the movie looks so good until I saw like the
The long trailers
Did you see the interview with his kids this past week? No
We don't have enough time to go into it in the this show go look up the interview that they did
I want to say
New Yorker I came or what magazine it was through
These kids are out of their gourd
Like they're so far out of their minds. They're almost back in them we make our music because we don't like any music out there
So we make music that we want to listen to and that's all we listen to
That's that comes from their parenting just go go read the interview
So I'm saying it's why if I can find the order or it will talk about how they'll make you fear for the future of this country
More than you already did that's why the hits daughter got cut for man. Yeah
Don't give me a start on that thing
By the way, I'm caught up on SNL and they did make fun of that one Cameron Diaz hosted
And pay attention John Travolta it IDina Menzel that's her name
She has hinted that frozen two may be happening
Hmm
First one was okay. Wasn't the I didn't think it's a greatest thing since she's at some people thought it was
It'll make money. I sure my thing with frozen. I
We bought it sight unseen because it's just so many people were talking about it. My my niece is such a huge fan
And we got a home watch that we were like I just I thought there was too much singing
I didn't buy it while I watched it and I was like kind of yeah, people talked about this all dude and like so
I'm not a fan of the singing in this and it was way too much again even for a Disney film or too much singing
Is that possible
Because I mean at least in most you have a little bit of dialogue in between scenes
It was like they were shoe-horning music in this thing
Did it even drive story? I didn't see it so
Josh Gad was funny because he played the snowman, but I mean it
It just it felt shoe-horning at a certain level
so
Let's go ahead and get the movie new releases this week
Pull an old school on you
Doing the robot right now
Somebody give me a refrigerator box and some parachute pants it's on
Coming to a movie house near you this week a movie called the pyramid
An archeological team attempts to unlock the secrets of a lost pyramid only to find themselves haunted by an an insidious creature
So you know, it's the feel good movie of the year
We have the the poster looks pretty cool, but you know
Steven says try being a teacher when frozen came out but down with that movie says
Sir, I do not envy you with a hole
Also this week a movie called wild
I believe it's based on a true story the chronicle of one woman's 1100 miles solo hike
Undertaken as a way to recover from a recent catastrophe
This has the Reese with her spoon in it Gabby Hoffman, Laura Dern, Thomas Sadoski
Brian Van Holtz

Jingle all the way to
If you can't get enough Larry the cable guy
It's also gonna sent him a relevant so the Congress which we I as I absolutely did was able to see during the Dallas international film festival
And I like to quote the great historian and great philosopher great American
Charles Barkley is terrible
He was a bunch of knuckleheads in that movie
That's someone I miss what was that one that's Robin Wright
It would take me longer to explain the movie
Then it's worth I'll put it to it. I just didn't like it
Cunting floss which is the biopic of the famous Mexican comedy actor
That came out in August. It looks interesting and there'll be two

Anything from tech corner for me gentlemen for this week my Amazon HD fire stick arrives
Supposedly tomorrow. You know what I would like you to review that because I've got a roku
Which I very much like I want to know what you what you're what you think of your Amazon TV because I'm very interested in that
Yeah, I'll definitely see my thing is I didn't want to get the the the USB stick because I run everything through my receiver
Not through my TV yeah, so for me I just got it because it was like 20 bucks for like the first two days
On for you order so I thought
Try I can not go out dinner one night this weekend by this little thing. Yeah, let me know what you think of it
Don't is there anything from a tech standpoint that you want to talk about not really just
Technology's cheap this weekend. Yeah, I experimented a little bit with the garage band today
Oh, I'd be like that. It's interesting
I'm looking forward to having it where I can plug it in through the I don't want to use the microphone on the iPad
I want to plug something into it, right? So we're gonna see how that works out. I will say this so once I thought saw the news
On Black Friday they give those teeth 50 inch TVs for $200 a festival. Oh, yeah, that's thing behind it
Which paperwork it's which I don't tell you is that those models that they give are so park with so poor
Poor quality. Yeah, that they don't even put them on the shelves get what you pay for
60 Hertz refresh rate that's all that needs to be said, but you know and some people are okay with that if you're okay with you
You know, I'm a bit too much of an audio video geek to go there
Right, but if if that works for you. It's a great bedroom TV
If you need to go to sleep
Exactly, and then here to judge you outwardly and get some z's
All I'm saying is if you're okay with inferior technology then you're probably listening to this show, but still
All right, let's get to the list gentleman
That's the one I want
And I feel like we may have done this list before, but not maybe in this form
Um, I was watching television as I have been a lot these last few days trying to get my DVR
Whittle down and I've noticed something
That there's a couple of shows that I watch that I think may have overstayed their welcome
And I was reading a forum where they were talking about this and somebody tried to say that this was what would jumping the shark is and I disagreed with that
This is not about TV shows that have jumped the shark because when you say a TV showed jumps the shark and the show did that comes from his on this list
There, there, when you say showed jumps the shark you can point to a specific
Time and episode where you can say that was where it got as good as it did and everything after that suffered because of it
Like a lot of people say that when Michael Scott left the office
That's when the office jumped the shark because all they did was they just turned Andy into Michael right
This is not jumping in the shark. This is just shows that if you just run out of steam
Whether currently or in the past
And this took me a long time to put together because I really had to take time and really really think about it
So number 10 is the Simpsons
Communist
No, I still watch every week don't get me wrong
I just if you go back and you look at the Simpsons through I would give you about 2001
It was hitting on all cylinders every week and it's just falling off the map. It's not nearly as funny as it used to be
It's there's odd. There's times that I can see them completely borrowing concepts from family guy to try to stay relevant
It's just it's not as consistently funny
The problem is is like you know, there's that term the Simpsons didn't the Simpsons did it
You can't come up with so many ideas didn't bail
You know, it's okay to go
I
Look at anything Aaron Sorkins ever done like this is the last season of the newsroom and it's still really good
But Aaron Sorkin has said look I've told the story. I need to tell you here's my problem
I like I said earlier. I've already lost basically kind of lost 24 who knows what's going on with that
I lost the shield
But even live another day, but even live another day
But even live another day was because somebody had 24 on their list
I'm crying here right now even live another day was good
You know, it's
I said this though the deeper you get into 24 the more you have to have suspension of this belief
But I don't ever think it overstated. It's welcome
No, you're taking that break and ending it when they don't give it right
I just can't lose another show
Okay, I love the Simpsons and family guy and the crossover episode with the two was brilliant. That was brilliant
But the only funny parts were wouldn't family guy characters weren't bald the Simpsons characters
It's still never get so funny. I've been watching it. I've been raised on the Simpsons
I told you know Harry Sure when I'm at the video fest
And I said I have seen every episode of this 552 that you have shown
I am the person I am today because of the Simpsons
I'm not saying you should never have existed
And understand I'm just saying on this I agree with the last up on your list that you have coming up
This one I just have to respectfully disagree, but you're pinning your life
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm not saying that I still think it's I'm just saying that it's it's just fallen off the map. Yeah, that's what number nine
That 70 show
When when for when Eric form and left and they tried to subs the two him with Seth Meyer's
Brother
That was tough for me to get through yeah, now it ended well. I thought the last episode was really really good
But it's easy to wrap it it up though. Yeah, they could have done that a couple of years earlier for me
It just didn't work for me number eight Beverly Hills nine or two one. Oh
Your original code to the show Cody Hawkins and I have talked about this at length
He was on board with that show till the bitter end
To me that show should have ended when they graduated high school because that was the point of the show
And from some of the articles I've read the cast doesn't disagree with that
There were times especially and they said in the last two seasons where they'd get scripts and they just rewrite them themselves
They would add their own stuff. It shows. Yeah, it's just that show should have ended when they graduated
When they had their senior prank where they covered the Hollywood sign and it's you know
WBHS whatever the year they graduated was that should have been it ended there
It's number seven and it pains me to say this eastbound and down
That last season was so bad and even the season before that
It when they when they lived in South Carolina or whatever that teedered for me
To me that type of show only it can only last so long three years at the post that last season was even though was both in very many episodes was horrific
Number six the real world
Really the show that ushered in the reality TV era
The fact that that show is still going
Amazing
I don't know what happened there. I just lost my motley cruise was going to the next song
I think because it was the one that ushered it in and it's a name that people recognize
I thought it ended. I didn't even like even like road rules and it went to pull the plug
You know
What's going on there it is
So my music could crap down on me
Number five happy days this is where the term jumping the shark comes from
Because they had an episode where Fanzi jumped over a shark
And so people have said that was pretty much where you flush the rest of that show
Once Arnold's burned down and then they rebuilt it and then run Howard left
That show held on way too long yeah, and I watched a lot of those reruns growing up because I love happy days
It just man as it got to the end Pat Marita
It was kind of like the Brady bunch with cousin Oliver or growing pains and they brought in Leon
I don't know the caprio was the homeless kid who lived in the school
Or when we all found out Kirk Cameron was crazy. Oh you think
Number four who wants to be a millionaire this show
They've completely changed the format of it
They've gotten rid of phone a friend
You get like a like and it's not
Sequential anymore
Like every that you have a category in each question and each one of those questions is worth a different dollar amount
You don't know until after you answer the question and you have skips that you can use it's
They've had three different hosts in the last three years
Yeah, I was hoping that show now
The Terry crew yeah, and before him was said directly entertainer
Before him was Steve Harvey
Yeah
This show should have been gone years ago
Well, the you know why they do I got rid of the phone friend. Oh, yeah
No clothes they call up and he could do Google real quick you get the answer within the house because the growth of the internet
But see they only have a certain amount of time to talk to
What's the info type type there you go boom you can type that in in 10 seconds and get you know number three and this really pains me to say
Survivor I yeah, see this on a wall frame
I haven't even I haven't not watched that show one episode this year
I've completely given up on Chad's like no, it's really good. I don't care anymore
That show it has same thing over and over. I just done with it
I just I've only seen one episode that's the episode I'll watch with here with it with you and I still I still have no desire to ever see and until this season
I have never I'd never missed an episode since it debuted in 2000
But don't care anymore. It doesn't do anything for me. I'm done with that show
Number two and the show that really inspired this list law and order special victims unit
I feel like
Now they just sit there and they wait for big headlines that they can turn into episodes
Yes, that's all they doing us for you and it is so perfect. It's about shock value
And it's about how many people can we shoehorn into any contention
It just doesn't do anything for me anymore
I mean, I give them the props for the staying power how they've been able to change cast members so many times and keep the thing moving
But it even looks like Mariska Hargate is getting bored with this. It just
It means for everybody
And now there's my wife that she's heard rumors that Maloney may be coming back
Which I haven't heard those rumors, but I'm not saying that I know everything
I don't know if it's if it's gonna benefit him. I don't think so
What the movie sees done? I mean
Yeah, and number one got caught up today and I'll be caught up now for about the next hour and 15 minutes
CSI this show is done. Yeah, this show and I loved head dancing and I love
Elizabeth's shoe and apparently George Eads is leaving now after this season again
And I'm gonna love what George epoxy
She's kind of watched her hotness over the years. Oh, I don't care. She's my character now the little girl that plays
CSI Brody that's a pretty girl. Oh, yeah, how you doing?
But it's just like this whole thread they're doing this year with Mark Paul Gosler paying twins
Yeah, I don't care. That's the only thing that captivates me mainly because it's a recognizable face and all the other ones
I'm thinking you've already done this. It's just two. It's just ten years later
Honorable mention goes to American Idol
Season 14 fires up in January. You're stuck in my thunder. I was gonna say that's my
Talk right into the mic. Oh, I'm just gonna say that's I was gonna say if you're gonna ask me
I was gonna say that's I don't know because I haven't watched that show in three years
I don't really need to be on there dancing the stars
But see that's still getting ratings. Yeah, it is the same thing
They're what it is still people talking about that show because by thing with dancing with the stars
Dance shows will always be fresh because you can change things up
But anything else gentlemen? I have to add one. Please do and don't think I'm weird on this
That what I'm not gonna think you're weird on okay in the current
Format and style smack down

Yeah, they go back live with it. I've said that for you. That's the rock smack down
It's just the it's a raw recap and little for the kids Friday night whatever show
