That's all I know That's what I got for you Fox has also renewed Bob's burgers for a sixth season I cannot believe this show has been on the edge I saw that on the ranch you know like are you joking and then seem like it's been I double check the numbers just to be sure How long do their seasons last two months? Well, they're part of that animation domination block Which I'll have new episodes of tonight Oh, we have tonight's the apital Yep, absolutely Mm-hmm And the CW has renewed Jane the virgin arrow and the flash And now we're hearing rumblings of the Adam as it's been possibly They did I also saw today I saw a picture of the firestorm costume I kind of like it Very interesting It's going to be tough to pull that up Just like it was the flash that kind of hard to pull that one But the picture I saw it was more It was kind of I don't even know how to describe it. It wasn't super heroly Well, which was kind of nice You kind of groaned at that answer.

You're not cool with them doing the Adam Yeah, I don't really see how I mean the flash seems like they're having to throw a whole lot of content at you to keep you interested Well, they got to get they already had to do several crossover episodes They got to get that these are one crossover They got to do that DC universe and set it in a motion Well, they brought in they brought in a A male and I think the third second or third episode to give a confidence booster to the berry Well, they did but that's but it's a spin off from that show Yeah, but I don't know maybe I'm just trying to what they're trying to use their training in the universe connected They're trying to keep that universe connected Oh, you've been drinking again. No That's far as you know Coca-Cola Classic You're more certainly than I usually am Chris been clean with no caffeine. I'm just tired of waiting for him to come back.

It's been a month already It's going to be another week And actually that is a correction we had from last week. I thought they were coming back last week. They don't come back till next week I so weird how we had these these shows coming back last week and then they're taking a week off this week I don't get russes in the chat room hello to you sir of by what it's got I thought well, I know tomorrow.

Well tomorrow. It's the national championship But I know why Then my thought was well, is this week the state of the union and then I looked it up and the state of the union's next week So much of what the heck is going on What else is getting preempted? What else is taking a week off SVU Taking this week off.

What is that normally air Wednesday nights? Really Yeah I need to check Chicago fire. They don't even know if that's going to be coming on I mean, I looked at my lineup for this week and almost everything else is fine The goalbergs is there.

Agent Carter is there So I didn't watch the watch the premiere of Agent Carter was a two two episode block So it was two hours. So I waited a couple days to watch it because that's just a lot TV watching. Was it worth it?

It's good I kind of like where it's going Better than Agent's field I might one in one A that I think what they're going to end up doing is going to end up tying into the second half of this season of Agent of shield Nothing. That's why they're doing it Yeah So there's that And SVU is still status quo Just like CSI But what I'm circling the drain as the kids like to say I wouldn't say circling the drain. It's just It's time It's not like it's circling the drain I think it's time And I think CSI is going to get one more season So they can have the big final season Send off since that was the mother ship of the franchise How long are they going to carry on this gig harbor?

Well, spoiler alert in three two Don't say the one They killed one of them last week Yeah So Before I went over the heck it was I'm done with the storyline I truly am Me too So unspoiler alert Sorry any time you work the the psychotic evil twin angle You're going into days of our lives territory And it's Mark Paul Gossler I'm just saying God I like the guy but not in this role How much of an insult is that to your average TV watchers intelligence in this day and age if you're watching prime time And AMC has renewed bait's motel Is that AMC or ANE this carrying on that? I think it's AMC and AMC AMC Carries bait's motel renews that for a third season Never watched it episode Me neither Same here Not that I haven't really wanted to It's just I don't have that channel What is this?

She was watching that debacle of a cowboy game I was leaving and she was getting ready to make chicken And dumpling I think We call that a segway As we go into NFL talk To the surprise of absolutely no one Mark Tresman is no longer the head coach of the Chicago Bears A lot of movements in the league this week But the biggest surprise is actually we'll get that in come back Scott McLean is now the new GM in Washington Because what do you need in more in Washington Than a guy with a name with a clown in his name Texan's college scouting director Mike McKagan McHackman McHackman Is also the new Jets general manager Because if you remember the Jets kind of clean house Including Rex Ryan who was apparently now the new Bill's head coach So we're just kangaroo reporting the state of New York And in the same division where he's gone from third to fourth And The biggest shock of the week was Dicklebo, a long time defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers has resigned Which as Andrew said yesterday But I think he's now officially worked for a free team in the league He's he's the What makes him resign? What does he just say? Is he the new North Turner?

Yeah Or Wands down on the defensive side of the ball See I just lost my I had a great joke for that Who's that quarterback I was just played for every team in the league Kurt Warner no Now come David Gerard No no no no this is years ago Oh no no no no no he'll die form No I don't know He's got three quarters of your your account conference championships set Yesterday Could not have been a more boring day of football if it tried What a snooze fast I mean the New England game was passable I guess Yes, but if they beat the ravens, yeah, you know, and then last night Seattle You're not gonna go to Seattle's house in the wind right now, especially if you're the Carolina Panthers. Exactly And although I did I would have taken the under yeah, you know Then today and I'm sorry Chad we have to talk about this because we have a moral responsibility to our listeners The Dallas Cowboys Go to The frozen tundra of Lambal field but again, it was a little warmer than they were into Spain. There was no snow But 16 degrees is still 16 degrees.

I don't care. Oh, yeah Last week a debatable call against the lions gives the Cowboys the game this week a debatable call against Dallas Looses the game for the Dallas Cowboys The question I want to pose though And I want to pose this to you sir because you are the Dallas Cowboys fan in the room. Yes Is there a silver lining to this because the winner of that game had to go to Seattle next week Is there a silver lining as a Cowboys fan?

Yes, no I mean, I just I don't know if either of those teams are gonna get past Seattle, especially with a banged up a a-ron Rogers I'd still would have liked the opportunity For Romo to slip his hands on the football and I'm just saying you know a week in the playoffs is another week you're alive You know, yeah, I just you know, I mean again not having a pony in the race I just And and Romo did kind of banged up in this game. Yeah, yeah, so I just don't know that I I'd want it I think it would have been a health risk to put him out there again see adults defense who is swallowing up everything in its path Yeah, I actually I think Dallas has the best chance to beat Seattle out of all the teams left. Yeah It's basically now that no, they're they're not in it.

So yeah, I think Browner's hurt for the Patriots. Is it the guy opposite Revis so they're without him And right now we are alive in Denver or we're not but the game is the Indianapolis Colts leading the general Broncos Let's say we are 21 to 13 with just under seven and a half to go in regulation If this happens I believe I had this I believe I said Indie's gonna go in a Denver and win I didn't I you know, I didn't give you a spread or anything But I wasn't Indie was getting like eight and a half in this one day. Yeah, like I thought that line was a little too generous personally And right now they're winning outright Yeah, I think people would thought that Indie couldn't go in there especially for the way they've been playing the past two weeks look really bad If I'm an Indianapolis Colts fan I don't remember I'm not an Indianapolis Colts fan I'm a pat McAfee fan But It's kind of like hey, we lost Peyton Manning.

Oh wait a minute Andrew luck knows how to play football. Yeah You know, it's like there was no let down period for them Andrew luck has been an amazing pick-up by them Great draft pit right But I just say this has been the most competitive game and interesting game to watch of the four right This these these playoffs in general have not been great no And it's not because the defense has been really good just the offenses have been really struggling. Yes A lot of and and and I'll play with the cowboys through the ball more than I thought they would today and those in those Conditions there were two third downs 31 when you have the best and the best running back in the league and you don't run the ball why why why Firecare it for that just for that and remember what I said the key to this to that game was The Marco Marie does not have 200 yards on the ground They don't win that game.

I made it. Yeah, I think he wound up with like a hundred and forty hundred and forty five He had to have those kind of numbers because Throwing the ball in that kind of temperature now if it was snowing nobody would have been throwing the ball Yeah, right but I mean it was the best conditions that Dallas could have had giving the situation And they had to bolt the Marco had to run it 30 times plus Randall and Dunbar had to run it at least five more times Just so they could kill the clock and as many people are said that are saying like now the now the cowboys and how the Detroit lines feel No, no, no, now you know how Oakland felt our hot in the England felt in 2002 When the tuck rule all of a sudden became a thing exactly What are they making a big deal about in 2010 when Welcher didn't catch that pass no for it was Detroit Calvin Johnson. Yeah, it's why that was in place is why that rules it blade I actually had a friend of mine on Facebook actually post the rule from the NFL rule book It's it's a weird rule You could see it as a crappy rule, but it's still rule and it's it's just one of those weird things That's No, no one person will I will ever know every rule on the NFL rule book right it's It's sad that the game had to come down to that but much like we said in the cowboys favor last week Just like Dana White says in the UFC never leave it in the hands of the judges never leave it in the hands of the refs if you have a Comfortable enough lead That shouldn't have been a problem Right, and it's unfortunate that the game had to end that way and this is not pouring salt in an open wound to cowboys fans because I'm not I'm not necessarily on the anti cowboys Banwagon.

I just don't like cherry You know, and that's gonna carry until the American yeah, I'm not a cowboy hater I mean I have a I'm a fan of a team that we're used to mediocrity didn't bother us But I would bother you Just accept it. Yeah, it just bothers me when we have to go to New England in December, but You know, it's it's I get a sad that the game had to end that way, but That's way football go Yeah, you know So we'll know now next week Then you'll have the week off. We do want to say Super Bowl Sunday February first there will not be a show We're not doing the show during the Super Bowl.

I'm sorry that dog does not hunt in any way shape or form So because we want you guys to enjoy the Super Bowl too If something earth shattering happens, maybe we'll do something during the week, but don't don't hold your breath We're definitely not gonna do a Saturday night show that week because we will be seeing the gobo's in haunchie and I guess monkey, all right, so if you're in the area come join us January the 31st Our friend the friend of the show John Houser, we call him Doc His old band getting back together for reunion show at the gas monkey grill Honchi with the friends of theirs also doing a reunion show that night. It's gonna be an amazing show We're gonna have a great time. We would love to see you guys out there Let us move on gentlemen do a little POI POI stands for person of interest.

It is a segment we do on this show Oddly enough Where we take a person or an entity and we debate their greatness or lack of their love this week the pendulum swings the Chad So we go live across the next to Chad. Do you have me? Yes?

Yes from all the way across the desk go ahead You and I have discussed this particular topic a couple of times in whether or not it's in an audience or You know, whether it adds to the the anticipation of a series or whatever But Something hit the interwebs that wound up being debunked apparently that they were toying with the idea of breaking The dawn of justice the Batman v Superman film into two movies which I'd been okay with it was a bother me And I guess they were wanting to Float the idea that it would be a kind of a cool thing to get a DC property in theaters this year rather than waiting Which I understood that logic because Marvel owns this year They weren't more importantly Disney owns this yeah no kidding But they were they were the rumor was it was gonna be opening in October And again, what have been okay with it and I know that you had your opinion about how you weren't really thrilled about them making the Hobbit into three films Yeah, I was very upset about that because I felt like a money grabbed to me Especially as much as the deceleration. It was no drag It was the two towers of the series and you know you you've had this you've had this trend that I don't who started it Harry Potter or Twilight Which would which I think Harry Potter did it first where they keep making the lights The last book and turned it into the suit. They've believed it was Harry Potter first and then Twilight did it I'm doing it and I've seen them kind of mentioned that divergent is gonna you got a long way to go for that though Yeah But with this trend constantly popping up When is when is enough enough?

It was five years ago I mean Does anybody see this as a good thing? I mean you you're saying that the Batman thing was a good thing But see with the amount of story you're trying to tell in that film I get it and plus strategically I get it because you're trying to keep that footprint in that market Would anybody have cried if the Hobbit had only been two films? I don't think they would have my daughter probably because she wants as much as she can get But I think overall You're looking and people would say the same thing like with the Harry Potter thing with so much story They had to tell they had to break it into two books or two films You know, Charlotte she's our Hunger Games expert She said it would have been fine if they didn't mocking Jay and one movie, but she could see why they wanted to tell more story But that doesn't seem like a cash grab to you Whereas the Hobbit does but that doesn't it asked me that question after I've seen mocking Jay part two Because I really felt that mocking Jay part one had a lot of story to tell to get ready for What will be The final battle but the book is no thicker than the other two That's because I've got all three books and I'm like they all look like they're the same size to me He depends on how much of the battle is actually in the part part two of it If it's more story and then there's a quick battle The thing with the Hobbit was though and once I read this it really kind of Reinforce my theory of why it should have only been two films the battle of the five armies and the Hobbit is one chapter They made an hour and a half out of it And so 10 minutes in the beginning of that film that should have been tacked onto the second one Because if you're gonna call a film spoiler or spoiler alert in three two don't say the one If you're gonna call a movie the desolition of smile Then you need to demolish smile In that film you don't do it 10 minutes into the next one I mean I agree with them, don't yeah, I mean am I wrong here?

I don't know yeah It it was a kind of a sticking point with me. I'm like you know you'll why call it You'll like say you're say you're gonna make you're gonna make an adaptation of the death of Superman And you call the first film in a series the death of Superman and Superman still alive at the end of that film And you just got lied to your halfway through the the doomsday fight. Yeah, you know You don't peel my boots and tell me it's raining dude, and then you go the other way with that The dark night rises spoiler alert in three two don't say the one We didn't let you know we're we're gonna break this back in this one It was just kind of the dark night rises, right?

So I was kind of cool with finding out what you're gonna do it. Okay. You're gonna do this in the storyline.

Okay. That's fine But you weren't promising me that going in and and if and correct me if I'm wrong here There was nothing in the trailer so I would have let the tell me that either nope No, which I as much as the dark night rises let me down as a Batman fan outside of seeing his broken cowl on on some of the key art Right, but we were we still weren't sure what that was referring to Broken bat anybody anybody that's a true geek gets that that that was pretty much a subtle hint of yeah This is happening now your average Joe movie goer that has a red night fall right wouldn't wouldn't figure that or known who Bain was as he was walking away and right one sheet, but I just I Think we're just getting to a point where We actually have to feed sequels Because we're so concerned about not having anything to put out there Now you if you subscribe on iTunes if you don't subscribe on tunes you might want to Because we'll have a special edition coming up Friday for a movie that we saw this weekend that The way it ends you could franchise it or you don't have to So I make sure that you're tuned in for that But and I like the way that film did it and What we can talk about that off air, but it's just You know you look at something like guardians of the galaxy You could do a sequel you don't have to do a sequel But if you did one I'd be okay with it because I don't feel like that would be a money grab it's just evolving Story like we're getting one. I know we are yeah, I'm just saying the way that ended but okay, and now that you've opened that cano worms The Avengers three and For you mean well, I mean they're just calling it the infinity war part one and two right, but that's so before technically Because they're a year apart right, but again, what is that even count as the same thing?

But what have I said from jump street about that franchise if this is what we're leading up to I'm okay with it because that series alone takes so long To split the inf because again first of all we're naming it incorrectly That's the infinity gauntlet the infinity war is the second piece of that trodice Unless one is gauntlet to is war Is that just a marketing standpoint why the call of the infinity wars because it's easier to put on a poster and it's and it's easier to explain to them to the To the less knowledgeable. I think let's see. I disagree I think you could actually call it the infinity gauntlet and set everything up Well as you're mentioning it through all these other movies so that by the time you get to the infinity gauntlet everybody's like, okay I know what this is now.

Yeah, but I still contend marvel listens to what I'm telling you You need to do the fanos war as an animator feature to set everything up Personally, I think that the infinity war just sounds sexier. It looks better on on a movie poster I don't know. I mean, I'm okay with it either way right as long you say war not yours.

I need to see I Need to see how they're gonna do it. Well, and because if you're gonna tell that story right That would require two movies. I think well, and isn't it they're they're playing it safe because The Marvel Cinematic Universe they haven't really named any of their film.

Well, yeah, they have Yeah, they have I got it. I got to stop myself right there Ironman had a had a two and a three A clearly label two and three whereas all the other yeah, Ironman's the only one that has not had subsubtitles because cap was the winter soldier Thor was the dark world it wasn't Thor too and wasn't Captain America too correct. I wish they had done that Cap three will be civil war.

Yeah, so I wish they had done that with Ironman so that would have been kind of a uniformed Yeah, well, but I don't think they were kind of a wild car, but I also don't think at that point Marvel Expected to happen what happened. I was kind of there their master plan though at least that's what they'll have you believe But I think when they did as Ironman too, I think it was one of those deals where What would you have called it if you didn't call it, too? Yeah Rise of whiplash or yeah, no kidding, you know that's the but yeah, I just think the wrath of whiplash no wait a minute I just I don't know I I agree with it in some cases, but I see as a money grab and others I don't think there's a hard fast rule here Because sometimes it's like you know no one's forcing you to take the money out of your pocket and give it to him, but Make it work to see make it work to see and then yeah, it won't feel like I'm gonna grab yeah Is there a sound which was my problem with the hobbit?

I just when he announced two movies. I was like, okay, I can roll with this and then I'll say oh no we're gonna make it three And we're gonna fill the second one with a bunch of crap Although I do like that throne oh I like that throne It's no iron throne, but yeah, nothing is the iron throne But just it's just been out of gold, so that would kind of negate that Anyway, I just felt like that was a talking point that we needed to discuss because I know it's been kind of itching it You and I I don't know how you felt about it on Andrew, but it's just I don't know sometimes I just I just want him to just wrap this thing up and it's let us let let's get on with it I've got a life to lead so I don't care much about the guy that's playing the new Batman and the different world So I'll put till the movie comes out. I'm just like I don't care Well, I'm just saying about you know just the whole concept in general of you know Deathly Hallows wanted to and you know not like any of a saw you know any of the Twilight films anyway, but I like to wrap up this discussion with one phrase or one statement Sack I need a trailer soon Okay Thank you hear me knocking I can come in it Right to quote the great That is like they've been kind of teasing and hinting at when that's gonna drop I think by may well know something we have to And then no one will care all right, but let's play let's play let's play a song that we weren't expecting to play for another three months Your 2015 baseball Hall of Fame classes announced this week Randy Johnson Pedro Martinez John Smoltz Craig Bigio Biggest class in 60 years wow, I mean with all of it and the rain is coming down in Denver Is it rain is rain?

It is rain they just showed it Now that we have a high definition monitor in the studio It's just hard for me to believe that in this time of year that's raining in December and it was like it's horses horses are falling from this guy They're on the field. Oh But any problems with this class boys. No.

No. Oh, why would we? I mean Is there anybody that was on the ballot that should have made it in you think Not that I'm aware of I know that Clemens and bonds got shut out again, and I'm okay with it.

That's fine So I just wonder are they gonna put Bigio next to the big unit like See the little high difference I mean Randy Johnson's a no-prater. Oh, yeah He's the only guy that hit a flying bird with a pitch on him I will never forget that I will never forget the first time I saw Randy Johnson He he had a he had a red glove The pitching was red and he had the no-fear logo stitched on the pinky So that's what you saw when you looked down at him from the batter spot every time I look at Randy Johnson always think like he looks like The undertaker's really a name-exciting or brother right on the dinosaur. Yeah.

Yeah Are you a dead man? It's just a press of his he's so tall as arms are so long that when he releases his pitch It's a foot-and-a-half fine the batter if if they're left hand at the release point He can hand it off to the first basement. It's like being beat up by Mr.

Fantastic or something Pedro Martinez No issue there great player Never really master the language, but we don't fault him for that The strikeouts made up although he one time did say baseball had a bit of bed a bed a good to me and that made me happy Was that him that didn't he well not not originally but he was paying homage to that comedy bit Smolty Yes, I am biased You think he made the transition to closer and with fairly little struggle. I mean it was part of one of the greatest pitching staffs major He baseball has ever seen and how they only one world one world series blows which is why we're not the bills of Baseball because we won one Sure Still play Oh And visual I mean Houston alone yeah the guy was he's a quality human being has the numbers But to say that five guys is the biggest class in 60 years that tells you how hard it is he in the baseball Hall of Fame I'm just saying So we're didn't Maddox make it last year, so it's kind of a oh and glamon so all three of them are in now And just wait non-steady debris Then she was a piece Why isn't he in there already?

The first time I heard that note Just brought you to your knees Then every time you've heard it after it and bring you to your knees for a different reason You know what else I remember about that album the back cover Because I had it as a poster on my dorm room door and college and have photo evidence of that Which she'll be doing a residency in Vegas by the end of the year apparently they're not saying where yet Contracts are still being worked out. I wonder if she's gonna take the place of One comedian that's Out there care talk Or a gentleman a person.

I don't think he's got a residency in Vegas does he? Yeah, does he really treasure island? I did not know that yeah I don't know if you heard this story this week But apparently uh when Elvis was 18 he went to a see went to Sun Studios and recorded a version of the song my happiness They burned to like an acetate record you could do that back then And he took it home so a buddy of his could listen to it, but he didn't have a record player at his own house So he ended up returning it to Sun for them to hold on to and he never came back for it So the guy that owned Sun records he held on to it all these years his daughter inherited it She decides to put it up for auction.

He paid four bucks for it when he recorded it in 1953 it was sold at auction this past week for $300,000 Wow I'm surprised I went for that little yeah, I by the way this past week would have been his 80th birthday Yeah, so once again.

You and I are gonna be reunited He was a whos If he could ever play a full season at at the his level of talent.

Oh, yeah He might be better than Jordan. This is a guy who said you know This is the guy who said this year next year the day need to be patient with us well you're not being patient with yourself Which you've already tree the way nine draft picks So You know, I don't know what it is with that guy You know he had a wait for some scrub on like the Minnesota timber wolves to like like push him and then he goes oh well I was just halfway playing and now I'm playing and apparently Kevin loves already making noise that he wants out You don't want to get me going I just know respect at all. He is an a hunt is what he is an eight A dollar sign dollar sign is hashtag ampersand plus Play 82 games it your full level of talent It just it just it crushes me because I was such a fan of this kid when he first came into the league and then after Just Entitlement is the higher than cowboy fans and that's way up there.

Yeah, we the mass was lost one of their old players Right, Tarpley more right Tarpley who is just believed with problems. I got that he found a lot of demons especially in his playing days Goodness we were talking about this.

I'm gonna. We're gonna negron Right great comedian 56 years old if I'm not mistaken Let me pull it up and I knew him as in as a comedian before I knew him as an actor I saw his one night stand on HBO That just killed me He talks about how in the 70s as a struggling actor. He was actually on the dating game three times And some of the answers he gave you the questions that were just so funny He did a lot of things Especially with the Disney channels as the years went on a funny guy A very and a lot of people saying very endearing a lot of a lot of people were very very complimentary of him He will definitely be missed the one I've got is Rod Taylor Born 11 January 11th, 1930 passed away this past week.

He was in the original version of the time machine He was also in the birds Very very popular actor kind of went into a new obscurity as years went on. Oh Samuel Goldman Jr. Correct That was the other one oh and a good night on Drake crouch we lost we lost my right couch on the eight But Rod Taylor was five four days short of his 85th birthday now dad of a heart attack on Drake crouch one of the Pillars of the gospel community That one kind of hurt yeah And Russ put that a teller neuron wasn't angels of the outfill we talked about that yesterday most people would know him as the guy that delivered the pizza and fast times original Hi, and I would be remiss if I didn't at least mention the passing of the great we're talking Dallas athletes The great jeffrey appeal on this seventh the same day as Rod Taylor and and It's kind of we would probably mention the the people that were lost in the Charlie Hebdo shooting as well.

Yes Our thoughts and prayers are with the people in in France Not starting this year out strong. No, we're not in the humanitarian department people. Let's let's pick up some slack here You know now we don't get political on the show for a reason, but I'm just gonna say and if you disagree with me You are definitely on the wrong side of this Violence be gets violence people You know Dr.

King told us all that non violence was the way to do things So let's get it together. Let's let's be people and Not savages to each other, please You know, I just It freaks me out every day when I wake up, but I see something like this because it's not getting any better You know, I don't care who you are I don't care what side of any issue you're on at the end of the day We are all people And it's all I have to say about that And of course Two of us is Uncle Bobby who passed away this morning as well And I remember more in segment Saving just man It's been a crazy year and we're 11 days deep So we barely started and we're not even two weeks into this you ain't lying brother All right gentlemen, let's move on to some more sports talk a little a little hacky So I was very shocked to find out this week The entire NHL all star weekend is on NBCSN What the entire thing including the all star game the game itself is no watch it Who even knows where NBCSN is? I don't know the channel.

It used to be versus I know that yeah, and they do carry a lot of hockey But yeah We saw that commercial yesterday as we were watching the game on NBC and I was like are you kidding me And they're talking about a little lockout There's rumors of them walking out again. That doesn't help you. What about four years ago?

Grass like this you are losing your fan base. You are the fourth major sport Let's call it for what it is you are the bottom of the barrel major sport Which again not bad because it's a major however You're not doing yourself any favors. Yeah, and if you don't watch out, you know Oh, yes soccer or European football or football or whatever it could overtake we got all the guns in the money soccer Love that dude la la la la la la la la la la la Why the fucker why the can't leave is not a more popular comedian this country is beyond me But yeah the whole things that you've been going to be on broadcast television Wait wait to lose on me.

What else is what else is NBC have going on then we get Nothing you can't put it on the mother ship at least at least something At least the all-star game. Yeah Cuz they're they they actually did the the the school yard pickup thing before the probal did really they came up with that first Yeah So Standing is in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division the Buffalo Subraise 31 points out of first place right now 43 14 and I'm sorry 14 26 and three they played 43 games They are nine points behind Oderwa Oderwa is five points behind Toronto Toronto is tied with my beloved Florida Panthers who are both Six three, oh 13 points behind John Anderson's beloved Boston Bruins Boston three points behind Detroit who is two points behind Montreal and the Tampa Bay Lightning with 58 points who have one three in a row Are leading the division In the minutes which we're pulling in the vision What part of the U.S. is that it?

It's in the midger poll did part did you know Wherever Thursday because when I think that you're pungent and I think that was Carolina Yeah, no, it's Carolina in last place, kindly 24 31 points for careful line now Carolina is seven points behind the New Jersey Devils, which I'm sure makes Chad extremely happy New Jersey is a white one because New Jersey is in the seller You hate the devils. I hate the red wings and the devil When you go to the game and I hate New Jersey you remember Debra missing hates to Philly and Columbus are both tied to be one point ahead of the devils, but they are 13 points behind Washington Washington is tied with the range of the New York Rangers who are both four points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins Pittsburgh is a point behind the islanders by the way the islanders have won two in a row The New York Rangers have a five-game win streak going on right now Well, whoa, how they do that? The play who's in front of you sir in the western conference specific division The Edmonton Oilers with 29 points are in last place there seven points behind the Arizona Coyote.

I can't even say that Arizona Coyotes. It doesn't sound right When did they change names this year? Oh next question That's why did they change names?

I don't know probably to get away from the stigma of what was going on down there for a while And Grettsky was going through the whole gambling scandal because I think the then the league owned them for a minute. I think so Arizona is 9, sorry 11 points behind Calgary Calgary a point behind the kings the kings a point behind San Jose who was type of Vancouver And Anaheim with 58 points leads that division and in the central division of a conference that doesn't have an eastern or western division Minnesota with 41 points who's lost four in a row is Two points behind your Dallas stars who also have lost four in a row. So They're last 10 there five three in two They are one point behind Colorado.

Colorado five behind Winnipeg. It's good. I see Winnipeg with a team again.

It just makes me happy Winnipeg is six behind St. Louis St. Louis is a point behind Chicago Chicago four points behind Nashville who have one three straight and lead the division Why do you order why don't we automatically go into that mode whenever this part of the song because it's natural Pavlovian I guess Speaking of Pavlov last week on family guy great moment.

That's all I'm saying Let's just say Brian might have traveled back in time and gotten revenge upon Pavlov We are your one stop for shop for all things sports and entertainment We are going to start with combining the two little They'll professional wrestling talk We now have an official date for the network in the UK Set for January 19th is your current start date for the WWE network for our friends over in the United Kingdom I'm I'm telling you I'm enjoying the network.

So I guess he's heel again You have like a one week face run Just tween him as B and B that's yeah And the am the George the ambulance match yeah, how many ambulances have you ever seen that had full Tables that were painted white with red crosses on them much less multiple of them in the ambulance You know, I don't know I'm gonna have to hang out by the hospital Was this an ambulance or a baby changing table van I was just like what the what the wait what Don't walk into a bathroom at up. I mean, I understand I'm trying to figure out wrestling logic, but It's just and it what I mean and those two I expected more out of a net match then what I ended up getting Which was highly disappointing All I can keep hearing and going in my head is that speech from McMahon about us being tired of having Your intelligence insulted and that's all they've done for the past several years That's all I've got from raw that's how bad raw was wow wow But we are gonna talk about I'm not gonna talk about the ending of rock because it was stupid Talk a little bit of impact DNA has re-signed the wolves. Oh They're bit this week our impact was weird.

They actually had like makeup done look like they had the claw mark on their chest It was very creepy for me and Dixie Carter says there will be paper views this week. I mean this year We talked last week that maybe they were giving up on paper views, but this week's gonna be locked down Which last year was a paper view She said we're gonna have paper views. We're gonna have our one night onlys.

You filmed those nine months before you showed them in some cases That's insane. They're still letting her run this thing into the how how many times can you Completely crash and burn before somebody rips it out of your hand to say you need to stop watching the premiere on destination America this week Which we're gonna talk about here in a minute They were talking about how they've got cameras in the locker rooms. Well, I see on a camera And I see some mojo hanging out with the bromance Yuckin it up having a good old time I'm like I understand poem back to curtain, but don't pull it back to that far.

I'll take it like Especially if you're in your heels and faces like intermingling especially in your opening when you've got heels and faces and completely different buses Well, I mean why not? WWE's doing it with divas But I don't see the the cameras hanging out in the locker room with each other. Wow.

Yeah, I'm just saying it seems like that's If you're gonna start was gonna give the TNA their own separate series that's not directly related to Wrestling in the ring so if you're gonna start out you're show with one set one mindset keep it that way throughout the entire hour or two And destination. I should did have their Impact premiere on Wednesday nights I Don't know what I'm sure I was massively successful, right? I'll let you yes The number of viewers they had Point two now give you give you an actual number No, that three hundred thousand Andrew One hundred twenty seven thousand Chad you were 37,000 too high oh my god 263,000 viewers it's the lowest ever for impact But you have to take into account the destination America's only in half the number of homes that spike is So the network was happy they were cool with it and it wasn't a bad show But I've seen better shows out of them You probably seen better shows on ant hills better Yeah, let's go ahead and talk about impact it's good to see them they had to premiere this week the ring is all black now I always thought the baby blue was a little weird for me So the ring was all black that looks great um Josh Matthews who made his debut at the announced table this week Dude Josh know your know your roster.

Yeah He probably got to see get destroyed and start the whole fight outside that was Kenny King not MVP And you worked with the latter of those two didn't you And you know how it always complained like I hate when they go on tape delay Yeah, but they're two hours behind when they air right probably a good thing Why is it because when the MVP was in the ring there were some shut the f up chance that they kept having to mute wow And they were calling EC3 and a hole and there was a lot of hashtag and per sand plus signs go in on it that And I know I fast forward commercials But this is the first episode of impact at destination America's gonna be showing Shouldn't they be plugging their product a lot more than not Like you see one commercial as they came out of commercial break, but it was like the same three Because I'm gonna say something if one of TNAs known for one thing they've got no problem shame A self promotion yeah, and promoting it like you couldn't get through a segment on impact without a Bellator or something on spike being promoted They didn't do one dog on thing on destination America. Wow Wow, so I was like come on guys I mean Given the number of people watching that didn't know your network existed 60 days ago You should be shoving your programming down their throats and they were and that day Wednesday They were doing All impact for like 12 hours leading up to the premiere. What they were doing all like the best of impacts for like 12 I'm talking like 12 hours that day True story True story.

I ain't hurting that bad. I guess they were just trying to promote the product but promote your network too And EC3 He's now doing Fact. I'm very good.

Is that gimmick infringement on Tyson kid cuz isn't he started doing the same thing? You're asking a wrong Just saying look out for it. And is it awkward that universal studios bought airtime during the show?

Just saying but they apparently they're gonna be returning to universal studios for some tapings in May just weird We had a couple of uh belt changes Austin Aries is your new ex division champion, which I'm okay with awesome calling returned Really during the during the knockouts battle royal where Terran Terran Terrell Helter championship all the belts were defended And Bobby Lashley wins the TNA world title after an EY heel turn Needed to hand because MVP has a new group It's him Kenny King Lashley Samoa Joe low key and EY they're now the BBK The beat down crew oh god they're the most valuable players Aren't there a or companies And I did check my 18 to you versus still no sinclair broadcasting system for our wage so there's that Let us move on talk some smack-down headlines Stern the pinball company has released a rest-level mania pinball game. It's gonna cost about $5,500 Got that on you right got it on me. It looks pretty neat apparently it's got all of its super stars of voices including the announcers in it There's like a little pseudo story mode involved it looks really neat all LED is so you don't have to worry about Replacing light bulbs all the time and awesome all the new technology the kids at the closing the hair using And you're new smack-down announce team Byron sexting and Jerry the King Lawler Wow the rumor is they were trying they were actually gonna try to move King away from raw over a year ago But then he had his heart attack and they couldn't do it That makes sense so King is no longer on raw Gone for good What's the over a seaable future what's the over under on his term date with the WWE?

I don't know what kind of shape he's in like financially so I can't like say yeah, but I think King I think King just kind of does this for fun I don't think he really it really worries him yeah, he's just on TV and he's happy He's not a wife number 17 So he's competing with Larry King. It's cool. He's buying his Christmas decorations for his Christmas room exactly.

He's fine stuff for his art table Smackdown headlines I'm gonna take an informal poll in the room Is it time for Roman Reigns to get rid of the The right gear yes, I don't like whether they're changing colors on it I'm not saying put him in shrunks But do something different at least sell like fake right gear if you're gonna do that. It's trying to get weird Just saying And Naomi It's gonna be a fire in those promos Help you out there I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna win this match and I'm gonna be also crazy That might be her fire She's got more than that. I got faith in her And you know as I was watching French eat on on Smackdown this week Something occurred to me He did the heel turn because he wanted to be able to provide for his family, right?

Right let's turn back the clock to the age of people power What was the main thing about Frenchy when Laura and I just brought him back? I again, I know I'm flirting with wrestling logic here, but roll with me for a minute, okay The pomprent slap on just he had an iron-clad contrast I'm just saying HBO help up her out Can we not do we not have somebody that's keeping historical documents on this show? And apparently we're gonna milk this sincara thing until it's completely dead He beat Barrett on Friday night Me or he go dead, but sincara did Why are we still doing this?

He was a tag champ and NXT for a while He may still be for all I know But I guess since Vince owns the gimmick he's just gonna drive this thing into the ground He's definitely succeeding there and what is that saying about like the whole like Mexican wrestling in general Like doesn't that make him look bad doesn't that make bids look bad in him damn? I mean, why would they send anyone else up the Vince listen to his audience? He knows what they want Yeah, he does that so well All right, let's talk movies Start with box office numbers Dropping out of the top 10 this week dropping from nine to 13 is the gambling It made $2.4 million Three weeks 32.3 million dollars from a $25 million dollar budget big hero six drops from 10 to 14 this week $2.2 million dollars for a 10 week total of 214.5 million dollars on a 165 million dollar budget So good job marvel good on you jump being from 28 to 11 this week by the way is inherent advice So there's that I want to see this film.

E. S. was this week the only thing that really caught my eye was Sony bringing back the walkman It's going to be the N.

W. X. Z.

2 design four high resolution audio at the bargain basement price of 1200 bucks you've got to be outside of your mind normally. I'm sorry not you just Sony Any other any C. Yes things that caught your eye that was the main thing.

I mean that's what everybody was talking I mean I did that was creepy. He was creating an oven that you'll be able to work from your smartphone Yeah, which my boss thought he had a million dollar ID and so many beat him to it I know let's say you're going home from work you pick up a frozen pizza you can just start heating your Start heating up your oven from your smartphone.

I don't know if they'll be covers for it because it's all digital They can still do cover for a digital okay, I don't look Anything else for tech orange gentlemen? This I'm just I don't see how you're going to appeal to a mass market with a $1200 or $1300 or $1400 walk That's just me somebody's gonna buy just that you showed off the gym and it ain't gonna be me It's gonna break so he's gonna machine let's get to the list We end every show with a list and tonight is no exception The pendulum swings back to me this week and as I was sitting around this week I was thinking I came up with the thought of What are the top 10 things that the main stream has watered down?

This should be interesting and we start number 10 With something we were just talking about the CES Yes when it used to be just this little electronic show that you went to and you checked out It's kind of like E3 same thing But it just become this just Kind of go to see yes, go to see yes, and people cover stuff and they don't even know what happened that is And they just end up looking like idiots and they wind up in the suit because of it exactly You know Number nine Something that we were watching last night Chad Grunge music Grunge music yeah, then once it went mainstream it just wasn't grunge anymore Yeah, which was part of like a lot of those bands Look at you know looking sound garden before the boom and sound garden after the boom like it was just an underground movement And like punk never got to that point, but grunge definitely did yeah, I did Number nine any good song any song which alike Which is why I don't listen to radio anymore The best I'm gonna do is XM and even then it's the decades channel And I'm gonna listen to my iPod if I hear something like on a TV show that I like I'll download it and then I don't have to let radio ruin it for me And then I'm done with you. Do you have hip hop on here or is that like is that just part of music? There's one tip on point mainstream.

Oh, but hip hop had so many phases to it. I thought about hip hop But my thing with hip hop is It's kind of always been mainstream But it's evolved so much you'd have to break it down by by era. Would you call it evil But again, there were so many facets to it.

That would be a list under itself Yeah Number seven exercising It going to the gym. I love my gym shout out planet fitness. What's up?

You want to sponsor the show. I'll let you boy? I like going to my gym because I've got my cardio equipment.

I've got my weight equipment. That's it Like in the 80s when you had the big exercise boom or jazz or size became in the thing and then a robex became a thing It's just it turned working out Into this upbeat thing became a cottage industry of Well these stuff shirts and now With the advent of technology. It's become a selfie parade It's almost I think there should be like a time limit if you pull out your phone your automatically on a 30 second time Yes, you have to do an exercise with with that machine and no pictures So I'm taking pictures of the gym.

I feel bad enough. I'm going to the gym. I don't need to see you too I know what you look like we've met it's great when you can photo bomb someone subtly I've done it three times And I don't I don't know if they've noticed at least not while I was there it's just great I just want to go to the gym put my headphones on get my workout on to be done Number six paying your dues as an artist My thing with this is There's a long list of names.

Well here's my thing Once you've got a couple of Songs under your belt That doesn't mean you can headline For instance I like this song don't get me wrong But why is she headlining a tour Because someone was dumb enough to give them that money to do it, but that's everybody now Like when you've got one album your headlining a tour you can't do a set around one album because the world right now is like instantaneous and now now now now now If that song becomes popular They want to they want to make their money now while they're before they do something stupid then Make do a month and they're gonna stop the stupid do like a club tour or something I don't need area on a Grande playing the American Airlines center You know what I'm saying like that that doesn't compute with me Well you're doing it on that size maroon five I get it Let me grab its last night. I get it sting tonight. I get it Rob Point number eight But that's what I'm saying But that does not constitute you being a headliner on a tour because Area on a Grande has a person on her staff that carries her when she gets off stage because she's so tired This is this is not this is not about the art anymore.

This is about the product And I know every generation says that about the generation after but I don't know that it's ever been as true as it is about this generation I mean this this is this has become they are no longer artists. They are manufacturers And it's not even their music. It's what they do on stage or out or what they say on social media that gets them all I think it's crazy It's assembled now number five the NHL Remember when hockey used to be just something you could watch Remember something we all cared about and now you can't even watch anymore because you got to find it That last lockout was the worst thing ever for the NHL No, the next lockout will be the worst thing ever because nobody will care anymore Yeah, because how can they change the rules again to make it more offensive Could they possibly score more goals?

Because if you remember the NHL used to be just kind of this thing that people went to It wasn't as this as sports Radio in this time why it's called the cocaine and boob job crowd. Yeah And after the stars one that's what it was for about five years. Yep.

Yeah. It's hockey Going to turn into one of those commercials when they're early nineties when like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson or you know Off of the Milky Way through the Earth's Manel Crest core Off the McDonald's sign. I think that it would just surprise me trick shots.

It will be number four The true spirit of professional wrestling As good as the as the mid to late nineties was for professional wrestling It was horrible for professional wrestling. I wouldn't say mainstream is one of this down. There is the spirits dead Because it didn't because it went so mainstream It forced the industry in a direction that it shouldn't have had to go What forced the vans in a direction that he took it too far to beat to beat WCW but but WCW started that fight.

Yeah, but that they were limited because did I need to see Dennis Rodman and ring twice WCW was limited because they couldn't go as far as WWE did and I'm not saying it's got to be You know the NW way. I understand why wrestling had to evolve and you had to pull back the curtain because once the internet hit it was all over But my whole thing is The spirit In call with sports entertainment. I still call a professional wrestling because that's what it should be The spirit of it is gone And it's almost as bad as pop music if you're not over right now You got nothing.

Yeah, they're they're already looking to chip you off to the farm leagues If you're lucky yeah, and you have to you have to roll with how they book you This is yeah, so So let's say that that Austin talked about one of his podcast and lots couple weeks how the the promos are so scripted right now You're not allowed to go off the path so little of it is under the wrestlers And I read the other day that Vince is writing Roman Reigns is promos. Yeah, yeah, saw that too That's that kind of and awesome was like I wouldn't have been able to survive Because the whole point was to give me a skeleton to work with and I'll hit your point What about the mindset like Austin just wondering there's like I'm gonna do this to get over guys or because there's Back then there was more opportunity well if I could fire it. I'll go to WCW You're gonna go tana really Number three George Lucas Melanity He was caching it in Say what you want to about Disney that purchase is the best possible thing that could have happened for us Everybody he made it like a bandit, but you know It's gonna make out by in 2020.

They're gonna be able to make a magic kingdom out of their money And we're finally gonna be able to yeah a bigger wait about six of them Number two South by Southwest Sad but true there was a time when South by Southwest and you can think it's really about any music festival But this one specifically was about artists trying to break through That's why it was created and it got so far away from what it was they can't real it back in now Now if you're a band trying to break through good luck getting into South by yeah, you can because it's all about now Marky artists that are gonna bring them to Austin Is it marky or is it like mid-marky artists that go there both? It's almost at the point where South by's got to split itself. It's already split itself between music and movies Yeah, I think you got you got prints and depression mode playing in South by now You have to it's to the point now that maybe South by needs to have a separate weekend just for unsigned Yeah, and do that first and then have your big part because it's already a two weekend event, right?

Make it a month and do your do your indie artists the first two weekends and then your major artists the second two weekends Traffic in that 10 that town is bad enough as They don't need to shut it down for a month. They don't need to be extra two weeks and number one And I dare you to debate me San Diego comic oh no way do I debate you on that I'm to the point now with San Diego that If you if you're not in San Diego now you'll never get a ticket to San Diego yeah because they sell next years Take it's the day that this year opens and all of the 40 passes are sold out you can't even get them yeah And if you're gonna go to San Diego Comic-Con you better bring a winning lottery ticket with you They don't know there that's the mega millions we're talking because you know the best way to do San Diego Comic-Con Know somebody who lives there crash on their couch for four days now. I'll save you about three grand on a hotel And then pray you can at least get a one-day pass It's really sad the best way to go is just to be An illustrator or something there yeah beat beat beat beat Yeah, be working there You know friend of the show Brent people.

She said he he went to San Diego and he just it's just it's a mess Because it's all about Hollywood just invading San Diego for a weekend you go back and you watch like one of the documentaries whenever they took Star Wars to Comic-Con when it was just it was in the basement of a hotel and it was like a little card table with a stack of posters to a movie that no one knew anything about And there's when they pulled the camera back. I can't remember which documentary it may be building an empire or creating it But I can't remember what I was called On like the second DVD release and it it looks like there's maybe 10 people in there Walking around now shoot It's you'll run into 10 people in the parking lot before you get out of the car No, you'll have you'll have 10 people in the car On your good Because the San Diego Comic-Con is on my bucket list and I don't know that out ever be able to fulfill it You you will on about two decades Don't be over 60 There's nothing I can do at that point What I want to go is some some fair assessment of my youth left and they're right much of it It just it kills me You know, going to celebration to and dealing with that was bad enough. I can't even imagine what San Diego's like It's like you have to take one whole day just to cover the convention floor and then Schedule that around sitting in lines for three and four hours to get into convention halls and pray to God There's a seat available for you.

It's a mess And that has that mess has Snowballed into every other Comic-Con across the country including this town That shocked me when we went to the to the Dallas Comic-Con. I'm like good lord. Yeah, who knew Congratulations on all that but I'm gonna tell you something if I want to picture with a celebrity I'm not gonna pay 150 bucks now Or you but used to be you could just have somebody take a picture of you at the table and you're done with it No, no, no, you can't do that now You now have to make an appointment to go stand behind a curtain and get it shot by a professional photographer And it'll cost you a bone in a half If you're lucky depending on having a great night brother depending on the level of the celebrity that you're having your picture taken with too.

Oh, yeah There's like a whole menu It's insane How is that enjoyable for anyone for anyone people that will save their money up all year just for that And then and then you want an autograph that's even more So stupid Insanity and it makes me sad because it's killing the spirit of what it was By the way, I looked up your your oven that you were talking about 14 thousand dollars Anything you always want to add the next 20 seconds. That's it. That's it.
