Friends
Jesus
Hey y'all, I'm bringing heat
Beast and all, hot topics every week
Waking news and I don't even try
It is 702 on the East Coast
It is 402 on the West Coast
It is the 29th of December in the year of our Lord 2013
It is season 4 episode 25 for those of you playing the home game in this episode 211
The clubhouse is live on the air
We welcome you no matter how you are listening
Whether you are listening live right here on you stream
You registered as a user
You are going to give us live feedback in the chat room
Whether you are listening on our archive
Which we are going to talk about in changes coming to the archive here in just a moment
Or whether you subscribe on iTunes
We don't care how you listen
We are just glad you are here
My name is Robin
I couldn't avoid the crowd
Hit me shortly after the show and off the air last week
This is probably the best I've sounded in about three days
I'm still not out of the woods yet
It is the year and wrap up show
The last show of 2013
So we are keeping it simple tonight
Joining me across the desk to my left
Is a man who had company in his home for the first time in a long time
Especially in the manner in which he had said company
It was a good day
You were a brief participant in that
I wasn't I wasn't I knew I wasn't going to be good company
But I feel like this I'm not good company
And you sound better today than you did yesterday
I mean I pretty much after I left your house
I ran a couple of errands
And came over back to the house
And just shut it down brother
It was me and the remote
And some to go boxed
Genghis grill
That was the rest of the day
So his left is the other member of Clubhouse proper
He is the official fact checker of this show
He just got back from the very very cold north west
And but the good news is besides the fact that he's back
He knows that it's actually six o'clock in the central time zone
He is down forward
It's great to be back
How did you mess with that
Family all that
I just what I looked at what I looked in the chat room
And it said I forgot the time change
I went back and listened to last week's episode
You blew the wheels off there for a minute
It's becoming
But real quick I got to wish my sister happy birthday today
My sister Darcy having to interpret day to day
My only sibling love
Oh okay
My dad's birthday was two days ago
So I have besides Christmas I have a lot of birthday
Same time
What going on for you sir
Love them both
Happy birthday to your sister happy belated to your dad
Welcome back
It's good to be back
Let's get into two corrections
If you subscribe to this show on iTunes
You have a lot of stuff to listen to
We kept you company
This past week there were four different shows
That you got to choose from in the last seven days
I just got caught up today
So
But nothing nothing nothing
Nothing to crack
Well meet you
We're not telling the sense of time
Well there's something
Yeah I got part of the show
It sounded good what I got to
Chad your lovely wife who's our British descent is in our chat room right now
I appreciate the well wishes
It's a good thing I don't have a job or I have to talk a lot
Either the one that pays me or the one that doesn't
We would probably be remiss if we didn't at least mention the birthday of one doc house or as well
Yeah stocks birthday was this past week
We're going to talk about him here later on in the show as well
He's doing really well
How to get Christmas from what I talked to him the other day
He actually texted me on Christmas day
Not called me
I could tell you are under the weather
Yeah when you called me I was
I was I was actually going to do all the updates for the website
Everything
While I was visiting my in-laws in San Antonio
I mean I had my laptop back with me
And
You know
Charlotte came over last Monday
We were just kind of hanging out
And I felt a little froggy but I was like I'll fight through it
And then we left first thing Tuesday morning
And I was little feeling little scratchy
And pretty much by the time we got to San Antonio
And got our bags brought in
It hit me like a ton of bricks
And it just
And now I think I love the entire business as servants caught it too
So happy days for us
By the way shout out to my father-in-law
You guys know I like my car
I love the beast
Yeah he's a pretty car
Must be
Yes
Yeah it's my father-in-law
Well played sir
Not only does my father-in-law now have a Camaro
He has the limited edition Hot Wheels Camaro in the chase
I saw that and I was like I looked at Jen and she was like don't
Ha ha ha
Pretty it's a beautiful car
She actually got to ride in Jesus really nice
Shout out to my father-in-law on that
He didn't take you for a ride in it
Brother I really
The reason they went out in the car
Was to get drugs for me
Oh
In a say what I'm coming from
Okay
Oh this is going to be a struggle
But we're going to get through it
Because we do it for the kids
Let's get into this thing the little TV talk
The sing-off
Which is a favorite of a lot of people
My wife watches it a little bit
But I know a lot of people that watch the sing-off
But their finale was a four season low for NBC
Scoring a 3.3
But it still ends up winning the night for the 18 to 49 bracket
So I don't know what happened there
It's the old the senior systems didn't like
Well, it's the fact of you know you're in Christmas week
So is anybody really monitoring ratings on Christmas week
Unless you're a parade or a football game
But then there's this and
I went to talk to you about this yesterday when I saw you say
What do you know about this next thing?
Nothing after other than what you posted
This I'm at I'm at my in-laws house
And my mother and I says they'll feel a little blurb in the corner
That talks about the great Christmas light fight
And she's like, do you watch that?
I'm like, I don't even know what that is
She's like, oh, let me fix that for you
So my wife comes into the room
So it's my wife and myself and my father-in-law and my mother-in-law
And she accused this thing up
And this was pretty much right before the sickness just went full bore on me
I went back to bed from the four hours
This was about four episodes deep
And the finale was two hours, it was two episodes
In each episode it's an hour long
There are four families from all over the country
It's called the Great Christmas light fight
And these two people from HGTV or something of itself
There's a male and a female
They go around the country and they go between these four families
Who have these elaborate Christmas displays
And the winning family in each episode gets 50 grand
Which my theory said that paid their power bill
It was interesting because you had families that did a lot of the blow-up
Some that did the blow-molds, some that did
Just traditional lighting, some that had choreographed lighting
This was one of the coolest shows I've ever seen
I don't know, I'm assuming this was the first year for this thing
I don't know, I saw it on my DVR but I almost recorded it
But if it comes back around or if you can catch this thing on demand
There's some a check this thing out
There were some of these displays that were amazing
And it was really cool is they not only got the 50 grand
But they got this trophy
And what would you say that is that I'm showing you right there
About three, two and a half, three feet
About three feet tall
And the top two thirds of it looked like one big Christmas bulb
And there's little ones inside it and it lights up
I think if ABC, I mean, I'll grant it
It does pretty well winning its time slot
But I think if ABC maybe had promoted this a little bit better
This could have been a ratings check or not
Because I'm a sucker for good Christmas lighting displays
And I'm a little bum that we didn't get to go Christmas light
Driving around this year
Have they called it?
Is that a technical term?
Christmas light driving around?
I don't know what the official term is
Because you and I and Chad, we've done that in the past
Oh yeah
We just piled a bunch of people in the car and just drove around the neighborhoods
This was a great idea
And I really hope that ABC brings it back
And if you have the chance, like I said, maybe you can find it on YouTube
Or maybe you can find it on demand or ABC.com
Maybe who will probably check this out
It was a great show
The male host was a little weird for me
The female host was a little, she was kind of over the top
Because every display was just amazing
But some of the stuff you do that at the end of the day
I really, really rather not
Some of these displays were just in saying
There was a family in Fort Lauderdale for it
And don't want that bias for you
They called this guy Mark Giver
Like he is not, now I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why
There were his neighbors would come up and just challenge him
Like somebody had just read down their sprinkler system
And so they gave them all their old sprinkler pipes
And said do something with this
And he was like fine
And at Christmas he made it into a fully working Ferris wheel
Oh really
He found an old tire
I found an old bike tire
Turned it into a mechanism for a working ski lift
For the little penguin that goes across the y'all
It's ridiculous
And it's over the top
But it was amazing
And go check this out
And ABC bring this back
We may be able to pull this up on ABC Uverson demand
Because I'm on Uversus page and they've got a section for it
Oh really?
Yeah
So maybe we'll check one out after the show
Because I really, and it's got to be one I haven't watched
But it was, oh it was amazing
And they gave away 50 grand
And they were episode
Every episode
Every episode
There's four families
There's total of 20 families in there
Four families at a time
And they won family in each episode
And 50 grand
Michael Maloney and Sabrina Soto
Yes
You are correct
Alright so
Big news for Charlotte
She's a family of the Americans
And we have a return date for them
It will be when they February 26
At 10 Eastern
And it's going to pick up right
We're season one left off
Apparently Reagan's just coming into office
If you don't know what this is
This is about basically a KGB sleeper cell
It's about spies
It's about a couple
Who look American everything like that
It has a
With a great carry Russell
In Margot Martindale
And she's in there?
Oh yeah
She's like their handler
But a couple looked like the all-American thing
And they live across free from the FBI agent
But there's spies for Russian spies
But not spies like us
Because that's a completely different thing
But very good
Very very good show
Yeah
So Charlotte loves the show
So she'll be excited
It'll be coming back
And finally in TV news
This week at this time
Your news gets kind of slow
And he did lift
Phil Roberson's suspension on Friday
So season five of Duck Dynasty
Will get underway
There was cracker barrel
I don't know if you read this story about this
Cracker barrel came under some fire
Because they removed all of their Duck Dynasty items
From the shelves
During the suspension
Came under a lot of criticism
Ended up putting its
Back
I'm sorry
I'm trying to watch the game for Donna
So we're trying to figure out
Cancees to be missed the field
Oh no
So it looks like you're
Oh no, we're going over times
So
We'll talk more about that in the bell talk
But to me this was such a non-story
The whole thing was
And that's why we didn't really go into a deep on this show
Because it gets too political
And you're talking politics and religion
And it's not two things we like to mix
Not number one
But number two
Who cares
It's somebody's opinion
That's what I'm saying
It's just somebody's opinion
There's something there's an old adage about
Appinions and what they're like
Tell them to say
Unless I say it better off
Fair point
You are listening to the clubhouse
We are live every Sunday night
704 Pacific
Hope all of you have a very safe new year coming up

You might see a pattern
Start to form here
Uh-oh
Frightenites in the military bowl

Chad had that
Don had that
In the Texas bowl

North Carolina over Cincinnati
39 to 17
Chad had that
Charlotte had that
In the Russell Athletic Bowl
Way to go Miami
You score a safety in the beginning of the game
Don't score anything else
So you have to touch down on the fourth quarter
And Louisville beats you 36 to nine
Charlotte is the only one that had that
And in the late game
Kansas State over Michigan
In the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
31 to 14
You want to know who had that one?
Nobody
So
Coming up tomorrow night
The music tomorrow
Afternoon
It's coming over there
Did I get that right?
Okay
Tomorrow afternoon at 215
Did I get that one wrong?
Or did they move that one?
Or did they move that one?
Or did they move that one?
I guess they did they move that bowl
Okay fair enough
This is the way we jump
No we had the arm forces bowl
Was supposed to be tomorrow morning at 10.45
And it's not on the
Sound on the deal
Uh oh
Middle Tennessee and Navy
They must have moved it
It's something I can figure

And then of course we'll be back on the year
Next week and by the time we go up the year
That'll be your next bowl
So we'll give you the updated totals right now
Currently leading
And let me say currently leading
Because at one point
Let me just go let me score the record
We'll go from the bottom up
Because in the bottom is a man
Let's just I'm in the last place right now
Seven points
I hate all of you
Don you're a point ahead of me
With me
Charlotte's a point ahead of you at nine
Chad is currently leading the field at eleven
Let me give you Chad's record house at stands
Out of the gate
It's the first four right
Mrs. the next two
And then goes on a seven nothing run
Of pit Utah State Marshall Syracuse
Washington Notre Dame and North Carolina
But he's lost his last two
So
And this is my first year
Numbers don't lie
Numbers do not lie
But if I'm last place in the end
This is my first year
That's my excuse
No there's no excuse
I'm sorry
If I can't make excuses
You sure as hell can make excuses
Let's go to the other side of the coin
And talk a little NFL
Lot going on week 17
Payton Manning now has the single season passing record
Beaton Drew Breeze
Again, do we great on a curve because he plays half his games in Denver
I don't see how you can't try to figure out how he can get out of this
Shuelay something
Shueling about him
And plus the pie
No that's down Casey
Just happened
History may today we'll get in the minute
But well, it's still an OT because remember
Oh no, no they haven't put on the board yet
They haven't put on the board yet
Okay
But Denver
Now has record for the most points in the season
To it's over 600
It doesn't shock me
I mean that's how they do with score points
Also today was the very last game ever played again
Okay
Well because this is the second time allegedly this has happened
But I believe it more this time
First one Tony Gonzalez tied in for the Atlanta Falcons
First ballot Hall of Famer
No doubt watch this done just watch the play while I'm talking
This was supposed to be a kick
Kick got blocked
Ball stripped out
Oh, they didn't give it to him
Wow
Tony Gonzalez
I believe it more this time because
Guys had a rough goal for this year
Had some great but Atlanta was just bad for in 12
But first ballot Hall of Famer no doubt in my mind
Huge fan of this guy upstanding citizen
You won't talk to a soul that doesn't love him in the league
So thank you for the great memory sir
You will definitely be missed in the lead
Well we after this we've only got one game left
But wait a minute Rob
Last week on the show
You said there was no prime time games this week
No Sunday night game
They moved it
No money night game
They flexed
Yeah
The Dallas Philly game
To the night game
So now NBC who didn't have a game before
Now has a game and Fox is not happy
Oh yeah it's a play because they were supposed to have that game as the new game today
Because it's a playoff game basically
Oh it is
It's win in your end
And the thing is the schedule said
Because they want the season done
By the end of you know like
You know
The afternoon the second game of the afternoon
So everybody has the same time to prep and get ready for
You know they're game because it's some people
Don't know who their opponent's going to be
Uh-huh
And I'm calling you know shenanigans on that
There is definitely shenanigans
Yeah
Because if I'm Fox I'm mad too
I'm like you better give me an extra playoff game or something
Because that's going to be a ratings gangbuster
Now
Romo going through back surgery
And this is what I love
People get on New England because they don't release injury reports
Because they don't have to
But did anybody really believe that Tony Romo's decision was going to be daily
Kekno
No
And all of a sudden on Friday he has back surgery
Oh really
He wasn't going to play
And the cowboys were denying it like five minutes before he went under the knife
And remember on this show last week where I talked about conspiracy theory
Did you read the Jerry quote?
No
Jason Garrett is not coaching for his career
And his future is bright
She remember what I said on this show last week
Because it's going to come out
What'd you say?
The reason he's the head coach of the dance cowboys is he is Jason Garrett
And Jerry Jones are in collusion when Wade Phillips coached this team
But he told them to tell the audience to lay down
It's going to get bad enough that we can fire Wade
And I can make you coach
Because if you go back to that season
After Wade was fired all of a sudden the offense was getting better
And improving every week
It's because your offensive coordinator is now your head coach
Being fooling nobody
Being fooling me
Dropped
I believe it
That's why I say he won't fire Garrett
Do you think Houston lost intentionally today?
So they get the first pick?
I don't think Houston loses intentionally
They just lose
But to Tennessee
Are you also in one second, huh?
In this twice this year?
Yeah
Let's go over today's games
Since an Adio for Baltimore 34 to 17 Andy Dalton
21 of 36 to 81 to touchdowns and four picks today
And they still win the game
Baltimore
How bad are you?
Don's Pittsburgh Steelers get the job done
Over Cleveland, who by the way
Cleveland's coach will be fired tomorrow
According to ESPN
I believe it
Twenty to seven
Scoring it all four quarters
So what you got to do?
Tennessee over Houston as we just had 16 to 10
Chris Johnson 27 rushes for 127 yards and a touchdown
Carolina over Atlanta
Which in a game that really should have been a blowout
Carolina wins by a point
Cam Newton 15 of 27 to 149 to touchdowns and a pick
As they clinched the division
You can't clinched the division any later week 17
Minnesota over Detroit 14 to 13
You're going to hear me meet in my mic a lot tonight
We'll map you Stafford 22 of 33 to 17
The Jets Miami
You had two jobs to do
Beat Buffalo and beat the Jets
You didn't beat Buffalo
But there was still life if you could beat the Jets
The Chargers can lose and Baltimore loses
Baltimore lost
Oh yeah by the way, so did you
Twenty to seven
You made Gino Smith look like Brett far
Seventeen a twenty seven for a hundred and ninety yards
Any rush to touchdown
I put too much faith in you sometimes
I'm just letting you know dolphins
But I'm not jumping off
I'm still a fan I've been a fan since I was like seven
I'm gonna be a fan to lie to I
Which at this rate maybe a lot sooner than I think it is
In the over Jacksonville 30 to 10 Andrew luck 26 to 37 282
And a touchdown Chad Henny not a bad day
First of all, Chad Henny, yes still in the league
30 of 51 331 a touchdown in the pick
Indy tighten up that defense
Address
Harold, giant over Washington
Twenty to six
In that game
Eli Manning goes down the injury he is done
Done like his team why wouldn't you just sit him
You're not gonna get in the playoffs
Green Bay Chicago, coming down to the wire, Green Bay just took the lead with 38 seconds
left, 33-28 is your score there. They tried for a 2 point conversion, did not get it.
Seattle, way up on St. Louis 27 and 9 with two minutes to go in the for everybody's run
in long today. All these games are still going on, two minute warning, 27 to 9.
Then San Diego, 654 left in over time. Now, what happens if this ties?
Then San Diego is in. Casey has to win for my Steelers to get in. If San Diego ties or
they win, then they're in. And both teams have both time out to available to them.
Exactly. Arizona. Behind San Francisco by a field goal with a minute seven left in the
fourth and Arizona has to ball. Denver, as we said, over Oakland, 34 to 14 today. Manning's numbers,
25 of 28 to 66 and 4 touchdowns to Real Prior with not a bad day. 21 of 38 to 07 and 2 touchdowns.
New Orleans all over Tampa Bay of like a bad suit, 42 to 17. Tampa Bay just played a
finish. Get out of there. New England over Buffalo 34 to 20 today.
Leggerit blunt. This kid just keeps showing up. Why did Tampa pick it right at him?
24 rushes for 189 yards and two touchdowns that A for New England. And then tonight
for all the marbles. Filly at Dallas. Do you believe? I'm not that drunk. Do you remember
when I stopped rooting for this team? When am it left? No. A little bit with a
he left, but not that there was something else happened after he left when they signed somebody.
Oh, T.O. Uh-huh. Yeah. And I said, I won't room for a team that T.O. plays four.
And then T.O left and then then who do they signed? Who I also won't room for? I've said,
never trust a quarterback named Gus, Elvis, or Kitna. Yeah. Okay. So Kitna goes away.
Still a bad team. So who do they resign as their backup quarterback for this game?
Algebra 2 teacher John Kitna. But did you see what he's doing with his paycheck? And that I was
about to get to that. Okay. He's getting paid $58,000 for this game. He's actually donating it to
the school where he teaches algebra 2, which is where he went to school apparently. Oh, is it?
Yeah. So I respect that totally. Much love to him for that as long as they don't give it to the
football team. Keep it academic. You heard it here first. I agree with it. And it'll be $58,000 a
check. Should they win and go on, he'll get another $58 grain and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
We talked about this in the pre-show. Saw status sports center yesterday. Since 2000,
the cowboys in week 17, 211. And the last time they played in week 17 for the NFC East title,
they lost a Philly 44 to 7. Just sin. And then it's playoff time baby. Winter, go home.
That's the genius of the NFL playoffs. And the NCAA tournament. Winter, go home.
That's tonight too. Winter, go home. That's the way it should be. The best of 97 series has to go away.
There's one thing we get to wrestling talk. I need to bring up about 20 rubble.

P.O.I. Since we are a person of interest. It is a segment we do on the show where we pick
a person or an entity and we debate their greatness or lock their up. Depends on some
swings back to chat this week. Go ahead sir. Well, we reported several times throughout the
course of the year. I think about the status of a company that all of us grew up in the shadow
of. Think one of us in this room grew up in the employment of for a short time. About two years,
absolutely. Uh-huh. And it's a company that was born and raised right in this fair bird.
They opened their first store in Dallas in 85. Yes, they did. I'm sorry.
Skillman and Northwest Highway. For those of you that don't know, I'm talking about Black
Buster video. And they're pretty much, well, wrapping things up. I mean, I don't know if you
can even find one that's got their doors open anymore. The one by your house maybe still?
I think it's, the last time I was there, which was about two weeks ago, they were pretty much
picked over. And I know that all the stores will be closed by the end of January nationwide.
And it's, I don't know. It just, it seems like a sad thing to see go away. But,
and again, this is something that you and I talked about off the air several times.
They pretty much did everything they could to shoot themselves in the foot whenever technology
started to pass them by. Well, I, I don't know if I can truly agree with that.
Until three years ago, because they really stayed, you know, they were the only place I knew of,
except for one small mom and pop shop, over by the Blockbuster that I managed, that did laser
discs. And they really carry through on DVD. They really carry through on blue right. Right.
But the Netflix showdown. And from what I read here, and I always suspected this, but I really
couldn't confirm it. But apparently, the, the question gets asked when exactly did this death spiral
for Blockbuster begin. And they said it, maybe impossible to pinpoint, but it had to be pretty close
to the moment in 2000. When company executives turned down a chance to buy a one year old company
called Netflix for 50 million. That kind of, well, I know. I mean, at one point, they moved
their corporate headquarters at downtown Florida, because I remember the Blockbuster building. It was
gorgeous. I had like a prism thing going on with like multiple colors and the windows.
And I mean, I enjoyed working for him. Great perks. I have five free runnels every week.
I went through every bond movie. I like over the course of about three months. But I mean,
I mean, I've lost track how many times you and I've talked about this. I'm like,
can you imagine if somebody with the idea for Netflix came walking through the door and
Blockbuster corporate said I've got this great idea that could be a direction that you guys could
move into in the future. And they, and they even tried to after the house really blew up. Right.
That Netflix ended up buying that. Mm-hmm. Like, no way. You know, we've, we've got this.
You know, and, and, but here's my thing. And you and I've talked about this, too.
The, the downside to Netflix, which is really what I thought would keep Blockbuster
viable, at least for a time. Right now, if I want to watch the Tim Burton 1989 Batman,
which I do not own, except on home video, I have to do one of two things. I have to call you
which I did recently. And now we have to watch Batman begins, by the way, because I've got that one
queue up and we're going to begin. Begins or returns. Returns, I'm sorry. Or, I have to go buy it.
Which I can't believe you haven't done buying it. Well, it was only Christmas list. The, the
forced, the four movie set was on my Christmas list. I don't want to buy it if something is going to buy it for me.
Now, somebody did buy me something, but it was a different, probably better. Yeah.
Thank you to my brother and law. But I can't get it on the instant queue right now.
It is not available on the instant queue. Well, I mean, and there are other, other options for streaming.
I mean, you've still got Amazon that you can stream through. Right. But why do I want to pay
multiple memberships? If you're trying to get what you're after, some people are willing to,
but blockbuster was a free membership. And you had all the library titles, too. Yeah. But,
you know, as they started getting, you know, consolidated their libraries were getting
shipped from here and there and they would get some stuff in it, but then they would sell off their
access stock and it was getting hard and hard to find these older movies that you're talking about.
I mean, like, the article that I pulled up here said it was, it was beginning to get really
tough to find old films like an old Hitchcock or Fellini movie or the obscure quirky TV films
that fans like to discover. I'm going to give you two moments to me that sunk them as you talk
about this part of it. Moment one, they never upgraded their system.
Until the day the last blockbuster closed, their entire point of sale system was a
dust based system. Wow. Now I'm not kidding you. This is a true story.
They never went to a system where, if you came up to me when I'm in this blockbuster and you're
like, hey, dude, I want to rent the English patient. Do you have it? And I would say no.
For me to find if another store had it, I had to reach into a drawer, pull out my store list and start
calling stores. That's ridiculous. Why can't you create a system where I can go
and I can go, okay, now it wouldn't be available in the public, of course, but
an inter-company system where I could type in a movie. And it would tell me which stores
have stock available in my area. And then just to verify, I could call my store and say,
could you hold on to one. Right. That's problem one. Problem two,
but I completely lost my train of thought because it was a really good one.
Charging mall prices for new product and stuff of that nature. I don't know that's a
downfall because they've been charging mall prices for 80 new. Because in those are not the
full discs, those are just rental discs. That's where I was going. Thank you. Well played
sir. Thank you. When they went to the, you can rent the movie from us, but there's no special
features. It's a bear that killed it for me because I rent DVDs and blue rays. I'm the guy.
Yeah. You know, I want the commentary. And you're not going to force me to buy a movie
by saying, well, if you want the special features you have to buy it, you can go parents sand.
They take a, they embrace the DIVICS technology and did they not take a bath on there?
No, that was circuit city. Oh, that's, well, there was a rental outlet that did it though.
Hollywood video. That's what it was. That's why they're not a real room or one of the
areas. Those to me are the two things that killed. I got one. Okay, go ahead. The red box.
Yeah, we haven't talked about red box. Yeah, we were going to get around the end of it. To me,
red boxes, the same problem as the instant queue. I only have a limited selection of movies that I can
watch. Only a limited selection. And then I've got a hope as we found out one night that not only
is it in stock at that red box because we were, when we went to go rent specific rim,
which we got to use those rental codes one at a time. Reserved it went to the red box and the red
box was broken. So I had to call red box customer service set on hold for 10 minutes. Talk to a
young lady. God bless her. She was wonderful. Good on your red box customer service.
But that was 10 minutes that we wasted. And then had to go to another section of town to find
because she couldn't even reserve it for me. I had to go back to the app after I got the phone
to find another place that had the movie so that I could reserve it and go get it there.
And everybody's going to have problems with every business. But the way I looked at it is,
it was a bacon beans for the red box and a lot cheaper. You pay a buck. Oh, it was a much
cheap pay. I like a buck 20 to rent a movie for the night or as many keep his made days as you
want versus the 495 at Blockbuster. Number two, you could drop it off at any red box and
haven't because it's thinking if you look forward, but you understand why that didn't work for
Blockbuster because as I said, they are cake. Yeah. Since I mean, when I worked at Blockbuster,
we had an entire drawer specifically reserved for movies returned to the wrong store. And that's why
I think was a big death nail. I think the final death nail was the red box because
it's a major convenience. You could drop your desk off at any red box, anywhere, no matter where
you pick it up from. And of course, this happened to go back to the store of the Blockbuster
and all that stuff. That's why I think that was the final death nail I think. It is a huge piece
of my childhood that they might form in the years that is gone. Because even before I worked
there, friend of the show, James Harding, he reworked it a Blockbuster. And before we go out
of the weekends, if he had to close the store, I'd go help him close the store so we could get out of
there early and get to where we were going. I was there so much. I was there so much. I have my
name tag. Oh, give me a true story. True story. And back then, they were the hard plastic
name tags. Right. And the way they did it at their store was you had your name on the front and
if you flipped it up, it had your nickname on it. And mine had been, bam, bam, on the inside.
I hope for a little bit of a good story. That is a true story. You know, another mistake I think
they made was trying to get into satellite television, too. When they became like a satellite
television dealer for dish network. Yeah, because they did their paper view. Yeah, and it just
that didn't go well either. They didn't do it very long. Well, and you know, I was going to say
this for tech talk, but we can go ahead and start talking about it now. Netflix is purging the instant
queue on January 1st. Yeah. Movies like Braveheart and Top Gunner, too, that I've seen that
will not be available against the queue. I think this is a bad idea. Well, it's something they do
every, every several months. They just, they cycle things through. It's not, I mean, they're not
going to be gone for good. By bigger servers. Well, because now, see, now the game is wide open.
You have to make your back catalogue deeper now. Yep. Because I'm telling you, I would love to
be able to watch Tim Burton's Batman. Can't do it right now. Unless, again, call you or go
buy it. You know, the problem with Blockbuster going under, I think, is they weren't something
like the movie trading company, which is doing good. Because you can find those old titles, and
it's the full movie, and you get still rent. Yeah. There's just not enough of those around. That's
the only problem with movie trading company. Well, you've got, but other people like that, like
Hastings, or it's regional. Yeah. But like in our immediate area, we really don't have anything.
We got to, we got to travel away. We got about 10 minutes. But still, it's, it's not like
Blockbuster. Yeah, with all these seconds up the road. Yeah. Like go through a couple of
lights. There's another one. It's like, it was like a convenience store. So Viacone deos, Blockbuster
video, you will be missed. You will be horribly horribly missed. Sorry. They can have any online stuff
or anything. They're done now. They did a sketch on SNL about it, whereas a bunch of guys that
worked at Blockbuster. We were like, we've been here since we were kids, where are we going to
do? And they got this whole dream sequence. And they, they wind up at this magical backwoods
placed and turns out where they're just all lost and they wind up on a stoop. And they're
manager walks like, guys, we're best by employees now. It's okay. Oh yeah, the shirts are pretty similar.
It's pretty funny. So let's move on and do music talk. Shall we? Go to the big yellow tick instead
of the big blue one. And that was five years. And that's what I'm saying. You think they'll go under?
Best buys in a bad place right now. Yeah. Because it has been for a few years. Good luck trying to find
a movie or a CD as I'm saying. April 10th. If you're a fan of Nirvana, you might want to make a pilgrimage
to Hokewim Washington. It will be Nirvana Day there. That is also the day they will be inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So I'm assuming that's where they are maybe Kurt's houses
or where they're from official. Yeah, probably. So there's that. Reports. We talked last week
on this show about Selena Gomez canceling a lot of her performance dates for 2014 to
take care of herself. Rumors are now saying that the reason she's doing that was because
she has now been diagnosed with lupus. Second week in a row, we've talked about this on this show.
Christian Johnson last week. Selena Gomez this week and her people are not releasing a statement
in response. Really? Yes. That's never a good thing. Also, congratulations.
To be on tape. I don't know if that's the right thing to say. She released. We talked about
how she released her new album just out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago. Since that has happened,
the album has been pirated 240,000 times set on two weeks. Wow. It amounted about $3.8
million in lost revenue. But the good news for her is that things already sold legitimately
almost a million copies. So I don't think she's she's really worried about it.
We're watching right now live footage of the winter classic getting ready. Let's get some
talk here in a minute. Oh, uh, hook. Um, fact check. Okay, and Washington is, um,
Kurobing was born and raised just four miles away in Aberdeen, Washington. Who else is from Aberdeen,
Washington? Yes. Yes. And when remind me of we're going to talk about that,
tribute to the troops a little bit. Okay. I don't know if you guys have watched it last night. I did.
Very much enjoyed that. We're going to talk about her long. Music new releases this week. There's
only one. I don't even know who it is. I'm getting kind of old. Angel Hayes is the band, uh,
album is called Dirty Gold. No, a band? I want to check out. I want to, uh, have you ever heard of a
band called Heim? H-A-I-M? H-A-I-M? No. Yes. That's it. They're called Heim. If they're last
name, it's three, three young ladies saw them on an episode of SNL recently. A little intrigued.
They're, I remember seeing them on SNL. They're interesting. I, I might want to take more of a closer
look at their work. They're, they're definitely different. Kind of a throwback.
Uh, let me see if I can find the, uh, I want to find the exact wording for you.
I can Peter's running a little bit slow. See here. They're from Los Angeles. It was, I saw
great. Okay. Somebody, uh, somebody's been, they've been described as music that sounds like it was
written on a lake side retreat attended by Stevie Nix, John Wait and in Vogue. Okay. It's an
interest, I don't know. Very interesting group to, uh, to check out. Sorry, I'll talk about that later.
Let us get into some NBA talk. LeBron James climbing up the scoring ladder. If I'm not mistaken,
past Larry Bird this week, did he? And by the way, the heat won last night beat the best team in
the West without him. Chris Bosch stepped up huge last night. But other than that, not much going on
in the NBA, so let's get to your standings in the Western Conference Pacific Division. The Sacramento
Kings 9 and 19. They are 10 games at a first place. They are three games behind the Los Angeles
Lakers who, by the way, and Chad, this will make you very, very happy. The Lakers have lost their
last four straight and they're three and seven in their last 10. That does make me happy. I know
it does sir. I'm here to help you. Golden State has actually won their last four, pushing them
up. They're two and a half games out. Phoenix right now. One and a half games behind the
Clippers. The Clippers are 13 and two with home right now. Good Lord. In the house, they share
with the Lakers. The Kali. In the Northwest Division, Utah, 17 games out there 9 and 24 right now.
Denver is 10 us. Seven games better than them. Minnesota is a half game up on Denver. Portland
right now is a half game behind Oklahoma City, who is 24 and 5 on a two game win streak there.
Nine and one and they're last 10 and a south west division. Memphis is nine and a half games
out. New Orleans is nine games out. Your Dallas Mavericks who are 500 in their last 10. Chad,
there are six games behind, but they're only three behind Houston. Houston is three behind
San Antonio who is 23 and seven right now. In the eastern conference at Lannick Division,
the Philadelphia 76ers. You're not very good. 8 and 21. They're five and a half games out.
Not a very good division. By the way, your leader of the division is also sub 500. New York,
five games back, Brooklyn, four games back. Boston is one game behind Toronto. Now, let me remind
you, Toronto's one two games straight and their 13 and 15 leading the division. You heard me right.
Half rewind if you have to. I don't, I don't get it. In the central division, Milo,
Wakay is 18 and a half games out of first place and they're 6 and 24. But when you realize
who they're in a division with it makes sense. Cleveland has lost their last four straight.
They're 14 games out. Chicago, 12 and a half back. Chicago's in a lot of trouble right now.
And Detroit is 11 and a half games behind the Indiana Pacers. Indiana is 24 and five right now.
They're 14 and one at home. They're 10 and four on the road. They've won their last four straight
in the southeast division. Orlando 9 and 20. They're 13 and a half games out.
Charlotte 9 and a half out, Washington 8 and a half out. Atlanta 6 games behind my beloved
Miami Heat. Who are 23 and 7, 8 and 2 in their last 10. We're about a month away from the
All-Star Break. So get ready for that. Time to throw it in park. No, not yet. Let us now because
we are your one stop shop for all things, sports and entertainment. Let us combine both of them
and talk professional wrestling, which is the bread and butter of this show. Now we told you last
week on this show. By the way, does anything personify the slogan of this show more than last week?
We said on this show. Now granted, it was a spoiler alert. Yes. At the time it was a spoiler alert
that Batista would be back for the rumble. Why in the name of all things good and holy
is my Facebook news feed blowing up Monday night. But Tista's coming back. You want to know
that if you don't listen to the show! Thanks for listening, guys. Even I heard that,
that's in Montana. Oh, I am proud you didn't listen to the show. I must start ringing next.
I saw that in my news feed and it wasn't like people that are talking directly to you. Well,
people on sites that I members of, like on the news feed, I'm like, where were you 24 hours ago when
I announced it? And I noticed that people that were reporting it are not spoiler-free people. Like,
I was like, really, dude? If you'd listen, if you'd listen, you'd know. That's the slogan of the show.
I'm a poet and I didn't know it, but I'm not sure. Show it because they're long fellows.
Okay, I was literally on the other side of the country. Got time's own screwed up and dang it, I still
heard it. So the company, well, this leaks, the company gets so mad that they go ahead and announce
it on Raw and back it up a week, because Batista was supposed to be a surprise entered at the
rumble. Now he's going to be on Raw the Monday before. So the original story broke that he was just
going to do what they called the WrestleMania season. Yeah, which this is a new term I haven't heard
before. He's going to work the rumble. He'll work up until WrestleMania, maybe a little bit after.
Now what we're hearing is maybe Batista wins the rumble and your WWE World Heavyweight
title match at WrestleMania is Orton Batista. Is that doing anything for anybody? I'm intrigued.
I know who I'd rather see him take on. Well, that's not going to happen. Who's that? We're going to talk
about the end of minute. Oh yeah. But this is not, but apparently this could be a rumors.
This could be up to a two-year deal for him. Really? And with built-in time off for him to promote
Guardians of the Galaxy. Well, that's good. And keep in mind that, you know, they were former
members of Revolution, which they could add to the storyline with H pole and the strings between them.
Oh, yeah. They could do this. Or is this your H is in one quarter vincices in the other corner
deal. I'm okay with this because if this was just a doing Johnson deal,
I would be like, what this is the third year in a row when we've done this now. But if he's truly
going to sign something and for him, I'll call two years long term. Because Batista is not,
he's not a spring chicken. No, he's not. He's been in the game a long time.
I, he's been away long enough that if we can bring him back face on cool. I just don't like
heel Batista. Well, if he's going to wrestle with who I'd like to see him wrestle with.
I like seeing when the rumble though. I, you know, are we on the same page here with who we
have like to see him match up with? Who's up? You're a leader? No. Oh, there's another one you're
leader. No. Oh. Well, his initials are RR. I'd love to see him work a program with Roman Reigns.
Not yet. That might be a little too soon. But I like where you're going. I mean, I'm just saying,
I'd like to see something develop. I'd like to see those two law courts. That'd be interesting to
watch. They've got a goal minor riding and I help. Well, but here's it, but here's the thing.
If you're going to do Roman Reigns, you've got to develop him a little bit more as a character by himself.
I agree. I agree. I just, I'd like to see it get there. I'm not saying right now,
but I'd like to see them work a program. Get ready to hear this music in WrestleMania
because it was verified this week. Triple H will work WrestleMania.
Plan A, not in the guerrilla position. I'm assuming. Oh, plan A is CM Punk.
Plan B is Roman Reigns. Okay. Sometimes you've got to roll with me for just a minute.
This I'm okay with because you turn Roman Reigns' face. You break him away from the shield.
You can now set that up because you really can't have him. You could have him fight the shield.
I don't want to see that. No. But him against H. You're not putting H in that big of a high
profile match where H feels like he has to blow the roof off the joy. But you're putting them
up against the guy that he can really truly work with. Because I mean, I don't do
know my feelings on Reigns. Done. What's that? That he's my favorite member of the shield.
Always has been. Oh, yeah. He has potential. He's got enormous potential.
Can't help it. You're Simone. Shut up. Just wait for that.
Someone else this week. We have verified will be working WrestleMania.
Now, as far as the rumor that we heard last week that I don't really want to go into,
I did a little bit of research on the inside source that we talked about.
It's possible. Because the information that was given to us by friend of my friend of the show
Russ, that source there were multiple people talking about it on said source. Okay. So
and I haven't heard of anything from Russ. So I hope he's doing okay. He's not in a room tonight.
He might be working. Very possible. We could find out probably. I have to show this right
through. Big fan of that guy. Nice. He's good people. But the plan for undertaker still appears to be
Lesnar. A lot of people this week have been talking to Dana White about the possibility of
Lesnar working in both companies and Dana's like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Invinces like, I haven't even heard that either. I don't think it's healthy. I don't
either. But besides hate for him to get his wires crossed, which we've worried about with him in a
couple of different instances where he was the thought that he would treat him one arena like the
other. Yeah. And it wasn't a good way. Yeah. Then there's this other story. We got a lot of
WrestleMania news tonight. Rumors of Cena hooking in a tag match together at WrestleMania.
No. Oh, wait for the other shoe. If it doesn't happen, you're going to have Cena take on
Bray Wyatt in the main event. Oh, geez. What? No. You heard me. You heard me. Come. Are we in
like the reports? The reports from backstage are saying that Vince has said, Cena is the main event
until his time is clearly up that man feeds us. But Bray Wyatt. Yeah. Exactly. Bray.
Rumor reigns would be a better. I agree. And I hope get he can't even move. This
whole can't even walk. How's he going to wrestle the main event of WrestleMania? This whole
Wyatt family bit. I bet it's I think is it can get. I think the tag match happens. Oh, God.
Now we're going to talk about why when we get into Raw talk. Okay. That's that's going to be
down the WrestleMania worse than the last one. Isn't that what's bad? It was pretty bad.
Now, are you a fan of old school Raw? Yes, I am. Because Raw goes old school next
on Monday night. January the 6th. They have not officially published it, but there have been
marketing material sent to the city Raw's going to be in Monday night that it will be old school
Raw. Didn't we just do this? I don't remember it being the first Raw the year, do you?
No. Because I know the anniversary is like, what, that's 20 if there's something?
Looked that up on a Wikipedia for the very first episode of Raw. I think it was January to 20.
It's a 1994. No, it was late. It was this 1993. So I think it was January 20.
But they're going to go old school next Monday night. So be ready for that.
But it's before we go Raw old school. Let's talk about Raw on tape. Shall we?
Raw Christmas. Live from Austin, Texas.
That Chad made me watch by myself. January 11th, 93. I was close.
I knew it was in January.
Since we had good Santa versus bad Santa's, I guess we're going to wait on the
Mark Henry heel turn for another week. Are they turning the hill again?
They're going to because he's going to face the length of the rumble. Okay. Here's my thing. Does anybody
in a right mind believe that the whole world would cancel Christmas if Damian's stand out one?
Christmas will be canceled if bad Santa wins. So the whole world's going to stop and not do Christmas
if the Sheriff of Nottingham couldn't pull it off and Robinhood prints at thieves. Damian's stand out
when pulling it off. But I will say in the worst pun of the year goes to JBL as Glenn Jacobs was
handing out Christmas mints through the children. Anybody else want to figure out where we're going
here? No idea. He was giving them candy canes. Yeah. Yeah. And he pushed that one and one kid didn't want
to. He just threw it on just hard funny. That was pretty funny. And so we have the divas match.
Is JoJo as who has JoJo offered him ticked off? Because she's the only one in that whole cast that
wasn't there. But it's a total divas tag match. We couldn't at least had her ring side or something
that I missed something. Who knows? And I could swear to you that Arch Ruth said something about
Houston when he was in the ring. Oh yeah. No, I don't know that he did. But I know that Darren
Young sure did. Because the prime time players had their matches like, well he used to and then
tie to so kneel could not have grabbed that microphone fast enough. Which had to have been a bit
because Raw was taped a week before. But was funny though when they were in their match.
You thought you heard this is awesome. Oh no, sir. You heard this is Austin.
I heard that followed by a Houston sucks channel which didn't room business. But that was funny.
Oh, maybe it's like a this is awful chance or something. No, it was this is Austin.
I was like, oh, well played. And so we get to the good Santa versus bad Santa match.
Can we stop acting like fire extinguishers are filled with sulfuric acid, please?
Yeah, Christmas can't hold true. I'm just saying now. We teased in just a moment ago about the
whole scene of Hogan tag match. And it didn't click with me until we started talking about it.
You had a match where it was Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and Cena were we're attacking him. And I believe
it was it was the shield or the Wyatt was it was the shield. Okay. So they do the old school
promo style chat. You'll know what I'm talking about. We're one of them talks and then kind of
cues the other one to start talking. So CM Punk starts the promo. And he's like, I had to find
two tag team partners. So he describes Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan comes in and
cuts a little promo. And so then CM Punk has a little promo and brings in Cena.
Cena comes in full Hogan. And I don't mean it looks like him. I'm talking just full Hogan to the
point where and you can see what I'm doing. You know when Hogan cuts a promo and he had that little
hand gesture thing where he's got his his thumb covering his index finger now. So it's kind of like a
closed okay symbol, but he's holding it and he's going, brother, brother, right. Cena's doing the
whole bit. And I was like, that is the most subtle thing. Because he's giving me those. He got
Daniel Bryan and you got CM Punk and John's, he was like impersonating Hogan, but you could see
him channeling Hogan. I don't know who finally realized how just let that man do what he does.
Thank you. There's two things I have to bring up.
Please, Jim. They piped in crowd and noise on that raw, you could tell.
There's this like T and A it's that bad with a chance. And we're going to talk about that when it
comes to T and A in just a minute. The other thing which I brought up earlier, they're in Austin,
Texas. And did you hear that comment about J.B. Colt when Daniel Bryan was wrestling and goes,
you know, Daniel Bryan's hearing like the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys,
biggest game of the year, and he's not even going to be there. The Michael Colt goes,
something to affect. I don't know if you heard this. I was, I know what you're talking about.
Daniel Bryan gets full and off a stage and all that stuff. And he's back to three days later
wrestling. And Tony Romo can't even make the play out, then make the game for the further Cowboys.
It's like, okay, you're in Texas. You're in Austin knocking the Cowboys. And this is called
real life. This guy has surgery and you're going to knock the guy for, because he has back surgery
and you're going to complain that he's not in the game. But that didn't even shock me. That's just,
that's then trying to be there. It was called you're in Austin. They're actually oversold that.
He definitely oversold that. Don't run, run, then, uh, Daniel Bryan fell off a thing in three days later.
He's wrestling, like, Tony was on to a mattress, on to a mattress. My goal. He had back surgery.
You don't go play football a couple days later. So, if you like watching wrestling on television,
get ready to hear this.
But only if you watch ROH. Because AJ Styles will be at the next TV taping for Ring of Honor.
Because apparently the negotiations were back on, but now they're back off again. Good Lord.
I mean, what, uh, TNA AJ me?
That's what I'm saying. He's going to be with ROH, because the negotiations were back on with TNA,
but now they're off again. Oh, they're off now. Okay. I thought they're going to strike a deal or they
struck a deal. Uh-huh. Oh, they didn't. Nope. So your theory may be true. It could happen.
Vince came on the phone now. If that wasn't enough,
if that wasn't enough of an indication to you, the TNA is circling the drain.
I submit to you the resignation of this man.
Jerry's done. So, Dixie finally just pushed him out or... He just quit. He resigned.
Were they in bed on TV and he were in a half? Yeah. He was supposed to be the leader of Ace's
at Ace. When the guy that founded the company is saying this is church, done, I'm out.
And apparently, there was a group interested in buying the company headed by country superstar Toby Keith,
but with Jared leaving, that hose the deal. Wow. Let that sink in.
Hmm, there's a knife on the counter. I wonder if I should cut myself with it.
What I see's doing a great job of it. What a calamitous mess she has turned that company into.
Now, in an interview this week, bully racers that his current dream opponent would be CM Punk,
which I think apparently, Hayman told him, you two with a live mic would be gold. Yeah.
But he wants to be in TNA because that's the best business decision for him. Okay.
What? Because you get coupons for free concessions at the Universal Studios. There's a CC's around the corner.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Versus a Phil B in business.
And somewhere, debons hang him out. Going, yeah. Keep going, homer. Keep going.
Legends concentrate. Hey, fans, can I get a Legends contract, please?
Let's talk TNA, shall we? Go have to. Rockstar Spud.
Who is the executive something or other to Dixie Carter?
His theme music. I mean, I know you're supposed to be British, but if your name's Rockstar Spud should
theme music be something less, I don't know, Lane. I feel like it should be eating a full five
course meal of fine dining restaurant when he comes to the rate with a crumpet. And he's shorter than
Tass. Who has we know from last week's episode is five nine. Is that possible? Well,
we've got a horn spawn. You know the sound effects of people play that it sounds like three
people doing. There's like, you mean, like, Rod did on that's what TNA sounded like on Thursday.
And Rod did on Monday. Worst and wrong. I know that. Worst and wrong. I know that. I agree.
Like, do your god. Well, that crowd was probably so worn out because it's probably the six
hour of taping your watching in a row because they filmed this Thursdays episode when what three
four weeks ago. And you haven't even seen AJ yet. And so we have to have these three or four
different segments that show the rise of Magnus, the rise of Magnus. He's been with the company
for more than five years. Do rise as faster if it's made in Antarctica.
Yeah. Do so's rise better than you did. Hey, they're in a better place. And he's the world champion.
And did you watch impact on? Yeah. Did you notice the really bad soap opera music that
played underneath the bully right test mockers like, I didn't know I said, I'm going to
watch. I've got halfway through. It's like, you also just hear this. Oh, yeah. I was like, what?
Yes, and to the hour and your wife and your wife says leave the crumpets a load. Yes,
and to the hourglass over the days of our lives. I was just waiting for him to go.
I mean, I'm already. Just be done with this thing. Oh, I'm saying. He dumped her like a
girl. And so after the main event, Jeff Hardy cuts a promo and says that was his last match in TNA.
Well, it's probably taken time off and by the time he gets back, they'll be out of business.
That my daughter says until there's more light in this darkness. And I never, I never thought
I would say this so mark the date. Please let this be real and let him be a surprise and
trinch into the rumble. I never thought I'd find myself saying that about Jeff Hardy.
Come home, son. Lights on. Calm down. I don't even know if you consider it home anymore.
Fair point. So Chad, take a deep breath. Is this going to hurt?
There are still not cleared to return to WWE. What else are you going to pick?
Well, I thought I had my shovel cools theme, and if I don't much better sound.
I'm sorry. Yeah, fair point. She has not yet been cleared to return. She left for a while to
hangle some family issues, but apparently something else has happened. And nobody's saying what it is.
So she's out. No, and no is why except people in the company. Where's she in?
Quick NFL updates. The Broncos have earned the top seed in the AFC playoffs. The Seahawks clinched the NFC West and they're on the top seed in the NFC
Close
Be right there with you in a few hours. I'm sure
Almost made history for those of you wondering about mysticos and she's not sent Cara anymore. His contract will be up a week from Friday
Junior worried that the guy who's playing some car right now. No, no, not the use to the gut. No, it's illegal right now
But mysticos who was the originals in Cara his contract ends January 10th
Did any of us catch the fact that all of a sudden he has a bunch of tattoos on him and they seem like they've been there for years
Yeah, but knows what old tattoos and new tattoos look like
I know that
Also there there is talk and they talked about this a little bit on Smackdown of unifying now the IC and US titles
Is this something you'd be interested in?
They did it once before then they brought the IC back. They have they interviewed both Cody Rhodes and
Dean Ambrose Dean Ambrose is quote was as long as they make a really nice belt for me to wear again
Funny admit it sir. I know you don't like him, but that's a funny moment
But you know it's gonna be the IC title. They're not gonna get rid of the US title
Although I like the you I
It's already got rid of one bell of the unified champion, but let's see why would why wouldn't you just keep both belts and make them both worker belts
You've got one tag you only one set of tag belts exactly. It's not like back in the day
My hero still hasn't got a belt. He's been there for two years. He hasn't got the IC belt or anything. So, but speaking of Cody Rhodes. I don't know if you guys read this story
Love this theme song
WWE does a show at MSG this past week Cody Rhodes moon salt off the top of the cage
Apparently the footage is out there on YouTube. Why would he do that because he's Cody freaking Rhodes brother
Didn't he just get married
Make her in development
And the dude is mad athletic. He's just a bad heel
And unfortunately, he's probably gonna be the one that turns heel very soon. Yeah, I know
And then that they'll kill the very gold dust. Yep, that's what I'm afraid of gold dust looks better than he's ever looked
I think gold dust gets the winner WrestleMania
But he's still gonna drown in mediocrity if he gets separated from Cody really to me. This is the reason
Dustin came back
Because they both want the match
Why wouldn't Dustin pass the torch to him?
See my guy read something recently where he said he will never wrestle under the name Dustin again. Yeah
But why wouldn't he want to pass the torch to his little brother?
This is the best possible scenario for both of them on multiple levels. They get to be tag champs together
Two two guys that really as kids Dustin is 16 years his senior by the time Cody was born
Dustin was almost in the business
Do you think about that?
Cody has never had a day in his life that he remembers where his brother was not in the wrestling business
And now they get to time to spend together bond together as brothers
Travel together as tag champs
And then you get to have one of them turn heel and they get to wrestle each other
This and I'm okay with with you to me you didn't have to turn one of them just say you know what?
We're not tag champs anymore. What is going on?
We'll turn it off
Don't even turn one of them heel
Yes, but I'm saying just let him go what I'm saying
But you know that you know the rules. There's got to be a he a especially wrestling man. It's got to be heel versus face
Not always but in this age
Let's talk smack down
So Kane comes out in the beginning and he books this match
And then he and he shouldn't be allowed to blow up the ring posts in a suit. He just looks weird. It looks stupid
And I don't even know how to talk about this next story down. Did you watch SmackDown?
Did you notice anything about Orton's promo
I
Fast-forwarded it the him walking down the ring
Let me give you a paraphrase version of Orton's promo
And I want you to tell me where it goes wrong
Randy Orton it was a big 2013 for you
What's 2014 gonna bring well Renee young
I've already done everything
I'm better than everyone
So maybe in 2014
I'll enter the Royal Rumble match and win it
And then go to WrestleMania
Sit in the suite because I don't have to defend my title
And as I'm sitting in that suite
I'll write my acceptance speech for the next night when I'm inducted into the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame is before WrestleMania
Thank you
It's the night before
Sir
Who is does he have a handler?
Can we get cue cards?
Something for this man
He sucks man. He has just gotten worse and worse and worse
And to me he was never all that great on the stick to begin with
And always happened to him
And they had a week and a half to edit it
I'm just like
I give up
What is wrong with that man?
I'm sitting in my couch and I'm like
You know my math isn't real strong
And it's not like they just started this
I mean you know when I take the pen and kind of bounce it off the microphone
You know Vince had to be like oh god
So you had a triple main event in this deal
Where you had
Mark Henry
Versus Roman Reigns
You had Biggie Langston
Versus Dean Ambrose
And you had Seth Rollins versus John Cena all back to back to back
Okay
I implore you sir
When you get a moment go back because I guarantee you they're on YouTube watch these three matches
Roman Reigns and Mark Henry
He does
He's doing the Superman punch
You know what that is
Okay, you know how he cut it
He got down on one knee and punched the glass
Sorry story
It was subtle
And if you didn't know if you would have never have caught it
And I was holding on hold on and I rebounded
I was like okay that was cool
You know we see the Hans Zimmer score
And Seth Rollins versus John Cena
Dear God sir
That is that match alone is living breathing proof of why you brought him into this company
That that arena was on fire
Of course it ends in the screw job, but
Seth Rollins Holland dude
And I mean home with them
Oh yeah, he did it was a great match
I've got and I've got respect for Seth Rollins
Now the other guy in shield that you seem to have
I don't know you have a rage for it
I don't know you have a rage for it
I like all three
Dean Ambrose has just got a big bag and nothing for you
He's he's so melodramatic in the ring with his facial expressions he oversells everything
Everything
The other two guys just work
But Dean Ambrose has to mug and act like he just got shot by a Barrett 50 caliber rifle with somebody hits him
It's so stupid
Okay, okay with it
Just think he's a snare
But I'm telling you those were three great matches all three of them were good even even
But that's nice for a chance even Ambrose put on a good match with Biggie Langston
And it was the last half hour of the show
And all six men were at the ring
So with one of them was wrestling the other four the two were wrestling the other four were outside
So when one finished we went right to the next one
Because I was like don't turn this into a six man tag
And they didn't all three matches went as one on one matches
So I can honestly say and I don't think you'll back me up in this three rocks on matches
Oh yeah, that's good for change for one to this because it's been really really
Medial
All right, let's move on shall we because we are your one stop shop for all things sports and entertainment let's talk a little
When we're gonna do the
Oh, yeah real quick tribute to the troops was on last night
Dude
It was in the hanger
I think go back to the other music for a good son
The entrance way
Was the back end
Was it a C2
Is that what it was done?
Were they huge bombers
And you're like all those kind of cool and then they took a shot from outside the arena
It was the full plane
They had backed a plane up to the hanger
And they walked into the plane through the normal entrance and then walked out through the bay doors
There was like a little as tiny jumbo tron blocking the view and then they came through
And the ramp was a runway that they walked down to the ring in
I got to see this now and could if your Daniel Bryan retire right now
Because at the end of it when they all came out the divas the roster everybody
Everybody but Damian sand out because he'd been punched out by the big show
Including coal and JBL we're doing the yes chant
And I mean every
Bach D
Yes
It was cool
Now could I have done without Jeff Dunham?
I already did it
He was I always liked Dunham
I've been a huge Dunham temper a long time he's kind of nailing it in for me now
I'll say the other reason I have a dinner fence because of this guy
I love Dunham
But
Dautry was good
They did that new waiting for Superman
I didn't know that was him
But he was good
It was a good show
Yeah, but I'm surprised that a USA is not doing it to our version
Oh, they're not going to do it
I looked through my guide I couldn't find it
Well, I think one thing of what's funny what Dunham is when they're about to close up and here comes Frenchy
Yeah, Frenchy did walk out
Yeah, Peter and Frenchy guy
Because Frenchy had the main event with Damian Sandion
Let's talk about three minutes
So, there was that

The sequel the raid two releases March 28. It will premiere its Sundance

It's just a lot of people in a poster just looking bad A

The raid redemption is

Also chat. I want your opinion on this next story
A movie originally that was called Amityville the lost tapes now being just called Amityville. It's not a reboot
Oh, is it a found footage thing, but it's it is, but it's not
It's set for January 2nd 2015 and it takes place after the original film
Where an ambitious female television in turn leads a team to investigate the happenings in the house in New York
I didn't recognize any of the names
I do remember that it was an action figure
It's voiced by the actor who impersonates Woody Allen on the ship somewhere in America tonight
Booker T is like somebody finally got me off the hook
For the bit I worked it
No, I'm not talking about the promo. I'm talking about
GI Bro

He got me the war game set
Did he?
Yes
I'll say I'm Don John, I did like it
I thought it's you did see it
Yeah, he saw he was in the street
Won't you uh didn't you go to the screen yet?
Yeah, yeah before not one
But not with the ally
I'd read anybody but okay
A very it talks about a guy who loves to his adult entertainment but it's that way
All right
Little tech talk chatting is anything
I mean, we talked about the thing I wanted to talk about earlier
I think we covered it all right
Street lights on because we got other stuff take care of too
We need show with a list
And it is the last show with the year
2013 if you can believe it
I can't
And also if you can believe it next week
This show is the first show is
Fifteen months old god
Thirty six and fourteen
Three, no, they do that right now thirty six
No forty two months old
Three, six
Something like that
Public school now shut it down Rob just shut it down
That's where we're waiting for what happened is hand
And so something that I don't know that we've ever done on the show is just a list of thank yous
And so I thought what I do is I do ten thank you's not not the top ten but definitely ten
Because this is the time of the year that you're expressing your thanks and some of the people on this list
I don't think get enough things
Number ten
I think the lovely and talented Mrs. Irvin
I said it when we got when we had an anniversary if you used the guy said that she accepts me for the man that I am
But she encourages me to be the man that I want to be
She knows that if it's Sunday night they're going to be people in her home
Locked away in a small studio
Doing this show for almost four and I almost three and a half years now
And the fact that she shows patience
And she doesn't yell at me for having all these people in the home
That's just you know she gets me
She truly does which is why she got me given Smith to Pepper 40 and James on the Bob get Irish
Amongst other things although by the way the book that would that I got her
Told score was it good good my wife and even my mother-in-law was like well played
It's it's my wife's a huge downtown downtown Nabby fan
And I found a book that's downtown Nabby re-enacted by cats and it's called Down and Tabby
I'm a genius thinking of how to the how did the other gift go to the
That way wins that way ran out and got that oh she's very very happy good. It was very heavy
But I put it together as soon as we got home
No, no, what you get down down Abby oh her mother yeah for her mom her mother was very excited
But you know the the documentary it comes with it comes to the documentary about the house
I'm just like don't watch this until you watch everything
I guess there's major spoilers and I've done it
Number nine I want to thank myself for being a shy kid
You were a shot. No, this is this is an absolute true story and you guys know that I don't do a lot of
I don't get real vulnerable on the show. It's it's not something I'm very good at but
Even and to an extent to this day, but when I was a kid, you understand, I'm an only child
so
I didn't
Social interaction wasn't something that I was ever very good at and into this day
I'm not if I'm in a room full of people I don't know it scares the crap out of me really
Very true story. Wow
I would never because I have serious
There's a reason I choose radio
You know, I have serious self esteem issues. I always have
I could tell that I'm being being a shy kid. Now, once the ice has broken
It's very hard to put it back together. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, but
Being a shy kid forced me to kind of
Find other ways
To not be socially awkward kind of up your game and other areas and so to speak and what I found
And I can even tell you the moment that it happened
I was in the second grade and I had gotten a book from the library
That was sketch sketches for kids that were written by the people who did the electric company
Oh, wow, that'll do it
And I'm telling you, if you've somehow find this book at Royal Palm Elementary's library
And you pull the original card, it's going to have my name on about 140 times
Because there was one sketch that was like a new show
And the sports reporter
Was Howard Cowbell
Howard Cowbell was the very first impersonation I ever did, you know, the first voice
So that kind of taught me how to at least have some form of an outlet that I could talk to people
Right, which is what would lead to things as life went on
That's what everybody on the Super Bowl is one in simple
Yeah, because that's at my core
That's who I am, I always have been, I'm a simple man
Number eight, to the University of South Florida
And I say that because number one, I applied to two colleges
The University of Florida and the University of South Florida
Florida did not accept me
Still a fan, it's not their fault, I was an idiot
But South Florida accepted me and
And I had been doing little DJ things here and there
Nothing major
But what I was at USF in my second semester
I was allowed to do a Friday morning radio show
And it really wasn't radio
Because we didn't broadcast on the radio
We were part of the cable system
So you had to watch channel 30
We had all these really bad 1991 computer graphics
On the screen
And it was WBUL
And it was, we called it the morning zone
It was every Friday from 6 to 10
Nobody listened
My own girlfriend didn't get up until nine o'clock
But my next or neighbor Maddy landing
Who was a friend of mine to stay on Facebook
He co-hosted the show when he could get up that early
And it really, that's where the bug really really bit me
So there's that
Number seven
To John Houser
Yes
And not for the obvious reasons
And I don't even know if you know this story sir
Circa
Let's call it 1996
Now we'll call it 1997
I had started spending my Tuesday evenings
At a small
Then low key sports bar called Sports City Cafe
Think I've been there a couple
And I can't try to tell Doc to come with me
Do karaoke night
Because Doc and I've been friends a long time
I know Doc's in a band
And so Doc and I aren't lunch
I'm like you got to come with me
He's like just answering me one question
I said sure
He said who does the karaoke there
There's some dude named Greg
He's like long hair glasses
Yeah
He goes dude he sings in my band
I don't like you shut your dirty mouth
He's like no
His name is Greg Drew
He was I'm coming tonight
Don't tell him oh geez
I said okay fine
So I go because back then you had to get there early
And I mean early just to get a table in the bar
Because it was the only night they did it
It was the institution
So I got there
Doc gets there about a half hour for the show
Greg's setting up
Doc says don't say word
Okay fine
Greg's setting up
And he kind of looks up
He does that double take thing
That Chandler Bing does so well
And Doc's got the Doc smile
And it's because of which we've all seen
Yes
And it's because of that moment
Him introducing me to Greg
Who already knew me as a regular
That legitimized me with Greg
And that's what got me started working
It's for city
I know I didn't know that
True story
And if it wasn't for Doc
I don't know that
I would have made a career out of it
For the better part of a decade and a half
Probably not because that was a heck of a break to get
To number six
And if I if somehow this lands in his lap
I will probably pee on myself
To Kevin Smith
Believe it or not it's true
The man legitimized podcasting
To the masses
Yes
Now there are other people
Jimmy Pardo is one
Who Mark Marin is one
Adam Corolla is one
There are some guys that are podcast legends in the business that are out there
But Kevin Smith is the guy
That convinced me
After Chad
We talked about the head and shoulders for about a decade
No, no, no, no, no, no
But
The made me think you know what?
I could probably do this
And
He's been my leader since 1995
Let's not get it twisted
Which had nothing to do with podcast
Not at all
I don't necessarily agree with some of the things he's doing now
But he will always be very very special to me for a number of reasons
One of them being
The true model for what we do
Every week
Absolutely
You want to blame somebody?
Blame him
Number five
To everybody that has been in this studio in the last three and a half years
The list is long and distinguished
Some never made it to the air
My mom
Who actually sat in here for about a half an episode
Really
Yes
Very early on my mother's actually sat in here and watched
When Cody coded a close to the show with me
My buddy James Harding
Who sat in here
Once and then we'll have to get him in here again
To Lou who's actually been on the show
Yes
You know
Very special day
It's a great episode
You all know who you are
And if you don't just go back through the halls and the history of this show
When we started doing in studio guests
It gave a greater level and a greater
Just sense of
Naturalism if you want to call it that to this show
That makes it what it is
Legitimacy
Kind of in the same way
Number four
To Foxon Hound
To Big Dawn
To Misty
To Cody
To Dawn
That's just like a five-way tie
Foxon Hound
Thank you guys for
Almost three years
Letness come do this thing live
It hasn't always been ideal
As a witness to about three weeks ago
But they've really they've opened their doors to us
They let us help them build
The Empire and the Foxon Hound audience
To what it is
Couldn't be happier
Big Dawn is a guy who early on
They're not racetalk39x.com
Early on gave us a lot of wisdom
On how to get this thing rolling
I want to say
Maybe not
But Big Dawn he's
Every time you see him post
Somebody says live in the dream
Because that dude is
Yeah
And every once in a while
We can catch when the when the planet's
Align right and he's in town
We have him on and he
He's amazing
Love him to death
Misty who helped us out
Very very early on
She's in California on vacation
Right now
I believe she got to go to Disneyland
The other day
Did she?
Yes
And
Love her
She just had a birthday
She really kind of helped us
Get things moving early on
And gave us some great ideas
And I wish we could see her more
And I've told her she's overdue
For a visit to the studio
And she agrees
And she does have tickets to
Russell Mania 30
So she has agreed to be on the post
Russell Mania show
Her and Diana are both going to be here
And they're going to talk about their
Russell Mania experience
So I'm very excited about that
Oh, again
Did you read this one?
Uh
Cody
The original co-host of the show
Don't get to see him as often as I like
To but you know he's a family man
But every couple of years he must have moved
Farther and Farther away
I don't know what's going on there
What his daughter is beautiful
He's got a great family
Love his wife
You know his stepson is great too
He and I've been friends for many many many years
And
We've come a long way from
A small mixer with two mic inputs
And a 45 minute show
That ended up last again hour and a half
To where we are now
And he was an injured part of that
And to the man sitting right across from me
Don't afford
A guy that we've known a lot longer than he thinks we've known him
Pugs
Back from the days in Pugsley's library
When
Gosh, I missed that place
How do you do?
Who somehow just decided he was going to get in
His himself and snared in this bit
After we started doing Fox and Helen
Sir, I can't thank you enough for everything that you do
This year
For the show itself has probably been the biggest year yet
2014's probably going to be even bigger if we can get some of the things pulled off that we think we can do
Number three
To the Justin Timberlake of this show
Who we also met at Pugsley's library for the first time
Six and a half years ago
Our sister Charlotte
I know she's dealing with some some pain issues right now
Just graduated college so proud of her
Amen
She has provided some of the most wheeled off moments on this show
You think
Who really
I don't know
I can't imagine what my life would be like
Without her part of it
I don't even think about that
She's one of my favorite people
And
Then I tell you the text she sent me that night that she was babysitting
I thought she wasn't allowed to watch any Hitler movies this time
And so she said tonight's not Hitler, it's North Korea
She should be okay with that
Because communism's better
Lord
She's
And number two
To the man who sits to my left
A man who has finally got his due on Facebook the other day
That was a long way
By the way, have not missed a day
And there are two days left in the year
And there are four people left
We're going to finish on time
Not this show
But that project, well
You had to do some shoe horny in the last couple of days too
No, by the way
You're calling him Christmas
Do you change your name or something
Maybe it's Montana
Kind of
Okay, Montana
We're talking about later
Okay
It's hard to believe it's 17 years ago
That's
No, was it that long ago
It's 97
It's making up on 17 years
It was just it was a summer release
Yeah
That I went to a screening of spawn
And met him and his cousin Mikey for the first time
And we just got to talk in
And the next thing I know
I'm at the due to house plan in 10 to 64
Yeah, that's all
It's South Park Rally
That's where I almost broke my leg on an icy step
Don't
And
To this day, he's one of my closest friends
And a man who helped me create the idea for this
Kind of let me go where I wanted to go with it
And was patient enough to just stick with it
And now he's in the chair
To show isn't what it is
Without shoes there
It's just not
Thank you so much
Other than that, it's me on the solo adventure
And I don't ever want to do that again
I don't know
I've jumped in my car that night
And number one
To the Empire
Without an audience
We don't need these microphones here
We're not comic bookmen
We don't get to be on AMC
We don't get to be on iTunes lists
It would be great if we could
But
If we get to talk to one person every week
Or if I have a meltdown
And that podcast has a spike
That's why we do it guys
We do it because we like to hear from you
And hear how this show entertains you
You know we know how we entertain ourselves
I mean we were here we know we've done this for a long time
But we've been friends longer than that
But without the Empire and without your feedback
And some of the friends that we've made over the last three and a half years
Without you guys
It's not worth it like it is now
You know it's worth me
Taking the time
Writing the run sheet
Doing a playlist
Making an RSS feed
Uploading it to iTunes just so you can listen to it
Wherever you are
Not necessarily just having to stream it through your phone
You guys make it worth it
And to hear you guys come up to us at live shows
And say hey man what you did last week
That was funny or
Dude you're seriously adding your mind
Stop
That makes it worth it
Yes
That being said
We're all in one room
So let's do this
Don't ask for this music
Before we begin I want to make a vote tonight
A vote?
Yeah
That we officially make this
The official theme on the podcast for the Hunger Games
It has been
I mean officially I want to official
The official sanction on this
It has been for a long time sir
Well I mean we always play a boot
Officially officially
But
For begin others
I want to thank you two guys
And
For let me in
Sir it is our honor to do so
Absolutely
And I appreciate you and Charlotte
Everybody on the list
But there's I have to thank Gary Murray
Who helped us on
You know roads of something
Yeah
We have to thank everybody
Galer Smith, Kelly Kitchens
Everybody at Alight
We have a lot of great friends
Yeah
This year alone with the show
And I couldn't be happy
I mean I'm looking at the RSS feed right now
And looking at episodes
414 and 415 from Dallas video fast
And we're meeting how much as
As worn out as we were how much
But we add that again
But
Start off this is kind of
To Chad
It is gift exchange time
Yes
That's where we're playing the same
Keep the thing going
Because for your present this is going to be
That's fine
What'd you do?
What'd you get?
This is an audio medium sir
Oh, I'm sorry
I know what you were getting
Because he did
Oh, I got to the heartbacks

So after the movies right?
Well I don't read these two

It's fair point
Well hold on

Underneath my Christmas tree
There's one wrapped gift
If you'll grab that for me please

We're not just playing music
That's the one perfect perfect
All right
So don you got to get your gift from Chad
Go ahead and close the door again
Ah, the sound of the clicking
Metal chair of our studio
Do I begin?
They'll speak
No, it's not a way
What do you get to?
I could not resist this
Oh, he did tell me about this
He got himself one of those two
Yeah, dude
I've been looking for these things forever
American stuff burgers
Oh, you could stuff your burgers
I know you're from the region where the juicy Lucy originates
And it's one of the best things ever
And you're a burger nut
Just like me
Stuff's American stuff
And if I'm not mistaken
Donald do some cooking on
Yeah, yeah

Cooked the middle of the vice president of the United States in 92
Really?
Yeah
But can we recue this song?
Yeah, I'll cue as soon as I go

Yeah, that's fine
How can you do that?
Now, do you're gift?
Okay, fair enough, fair enough
We have to do some remodeling in here
Okay
Okay
Told you last year you didn't believe me
At the rumble
Me and Brittany Palmer go way back
Loyal member of the Empire
Listens every week
Well, that's what we talk about every week
And although we missed one of the exclusives
But she, she appreciates you talking about her
And she still has feelings for you
You know, it wants to be the lovely and talented
And this is her minor stance
There is already one already
And yes, there is
She's like, but, you know, she still has feelings for you
But doesn't really play up
Fair enough
Fair enough
Then we get the, oh, is it the new calendar
Did she sign it this time?
This one's me
Shut up, dude
Did you know about this part of this idea?
Did you know about this part of this?
Yes, I did
I got to read it
That it actually says to Rob the clubhouse rocks
She actually this is
On the calendar people
The clubhouse rocks
That is funny
That is funny
And the exo exo is for still
Her feelings for that is funny
That is genius
He told me that I'm like, oh, he did
It's good enough that I've got it from Kolkavanna
But I've got it from Brittany Palmer too
That is awesome
We have to read decorate
Yeah
December's coming
We have to get a photo copy of that in color
Just to put that part on the white
All right, so done
For yours
It's not going to be here till Tuesday
Not problem
Because I was hoping to buy it yesterday
And I couldn't find it
But I gave you a printout
I was six pages of it
I don't know why I promised it
But this is what's coming for you on Tuesday
To the house
That's why I want to play hungry eyes
Because I don't know
Yeah, she has them on a cover
I'm going to go on it
No, are you serious?
Yeah

No
Tell them to tell the people she got

Dude
So if you want to drop by next week
And pick it up, it'll be here for you
Yeah, well I'm just I just ordered it last night
And I'm like no, it'll be there Tuesday
Oh wow
So I was surprised
Especially given with UPS's been going
Did you see they had a 650% spike in business on Monday
Well, did you see how many extra people they had to hire?
Oh, yeah
For that one day
Five hundred the day after
Good
All right, to both of you
Very Christmas
And same to you sir
Same to you
Thank you for the gift, guys
All right
I
Looney tunes Christmas wrapping paper
Which I'm a fan of
That was very carefully selected
And by the way, I wrapped all my own gifts this year
Oh
Did I'm all
British descent had to do these
My and my wife was impressed
My wife was impressed by the wrap job I did
I'm incapable of it
So
Oh
Yes
I'm making sure that the lovin is talented
This is everything
Handles this
It is a it is like a waffle iron
But it makes soft pretzels
And if you know me and I do
I'm a soft pretzel
Fan
Fan
I tell you
I don't think you're going to need the lovin
I think you'll be able to pull this one off on your own
Does it come with the because if I have to make this stuff
It comes with the mixes
Oh, does it sweet
And then you get you get the
Finish strong here sir
Now
This is the gift from myself and a lovin
And talented Mrs. Irvin
When you open it you'll understand
Which Charlotte is getting you is in
Tomb with this
Okay
Okay
By the way, Chen has a sand head on
For the people
No, I said that when you're going to
Okay
Damn
Tell the people I can even see what
I know there's a delay
But I know that my wife is going to make a
B line for the door
It's about a 5 second
7 second delay
Because jules
We now have a so-to-stream maker
Oh no
Well they had a curing already
And this so-to-stream
Is one of the greatest inventions in the history of ever
You sir are fricking awesome
And it comes with one bottle
And you've got a little sampler pack in there too
And
And it comes with one
But the canister is not going to last you very long
So you want to buy an extra one
You have to lay the 30 bucks out for the canister
But you can only pay 15 on the exchange
A hard pounding right
So I passed that through the wife
And she said yes that you can make that happen
So it's the same exact one that we have
Oh my god
So I know that it's the good one
So we get to make the sounds of
Flatula in center
It does it makes a great farting noise
And you make it
And they don't endorse this show
But I love so-to-stream
So
Alright we're already running way over
