Season 7, Episode 27, 377 times. This voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse podcast, no matter how you listen, whether you're live on your stream, whether you're one of the many who listen on our archive, or whether you subscribe on your favorite podcasting app, or just glad you're here. Welcome.
My name is Rob, I'm the executive producer of this particular program, and for those you play in the home game, we are now into the fourth week of the year. It's almost a 12th of the way their kids, and we're all still holding on. But I'm not alone for this particular episode, joining me across the desk as he tends to do is my co-host, and a man who had just had to put his glasses on to tell all the kids to get off his lawn.
He is chat. And somehow they made my hiccup stop. Don't ask me why.
I'm not here to judge you. To his left, one of our two special guests this evening, and a man who always welcome on the show, and he's gearing up for some very big things in the future. We're going to talk about hearing a little while.
He is Steven Zimmerman. Welcome back, sir. Hey, thank you for inviting me on and everything like that.
I'm hoping everyone's enjoying their 2017 so far, and I'm looking forward to the future ahead. He's coming up. We are going to talk about it.
His left is a man who is currently the reigning and defending bullpick champion after winning 12 straight out of the gate. Nobody could catch him. He is not calm.
He is Mikey Crack. Welcome back to the show, sir. What is up?
Man, you just ran away with the thing. Nobody could catch you. And the one guy that was supposed to show is like, now I don't want to do it.
I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it.
If anybody should be good at this, it's going to be this guy. We always start every show with corrections. We're calling them corrections and follow ups now.
A couple of follow ups on the Dumbo live action film. Tim Burton will be directing and Will Smith's character is going to be a father of a family that befriends Dumbo to teach him how to fly. Okay.
Moving on. The last Ringling Brothers show will be in May, so it's not going to make it here before they fold it. And so we were talking about the death of Snooka last weekend, and there's one person we forgot to talk about in his lineage.
That would be his daughter, to me now. We named everybody else did y'all not get choked up at the little, you know, Twitter feed that they showed at the end of the day. That was great.
And then at the end, her holding his hand in the hospital bed, that was beautiful. And from one of our iTunes exclusives this week, we are talking about James McAvoy who's in split. We'll talk about hearing a little while.
I mentioned that he was in taken. He was actually in wanted, not taken. So I had to correct myself on that.
Let's get right into some NFL talk right off the top of the show because that's really what we're in the middle of. If you missed the headline on Thursday, the writers have submitted the paperwork to move to Vegas. But if the move happens, the earliest it will happen is 2020.
I'm assuming because of them building the stadium. Okay. Because it can't be, it can't be any kind of paperwork because the chargers are moving next season.
Yeah. And boy, can we keep forgetting to talk about it? I don't know if you know about this about the chargers move because that stadium is not going to be ready till 2019 for them to share with the Rams.
Oh, I know where they're playing. They're playing in a 30,000-seat soccer stadium. Yeah.
If they can't feel that place up, they're about to lose their starting quarterback. They've got a little bit of a reason. They don't want to play in Los Angeles.
So he's out. I don't really don't blame a lot of them for not wanting to do this. But I'm going to drag them there kicking his cream in apparently.
We know one team headed to the Super Bowl as of right now because that game has completed while it was completed by half time. But the Green Bay Packers. Sorry about your bad luck.
Wow, they ran into a freight train known as Atlanta. And really, it's like you guys were running a little bit late for the game. But I texted Mikey.
I was like, really, this game's going to depend on who's got the better online because both of these secondarys were garbage today. And Matt Ryan just on fire. Green Bay didn't have a ground game either so that you got to keep Aaron Rogers off the field to make that game.
And Atlanta just picked them to pieces 44 to 21. Atlanta has two thirds of the over under on their own. Let's see if if Pittsburgh can beat up on these paths.
And right now, this game's very competitive. Yeah. Neither I mean the the weather is probably not helping the passing game for either team as it is raining currently in Foxborough.
I trust the lady on Bell a lot. Go. Go Pittsburgh.
So we're going to see how this goes. Don and Don, I'm sure is glued to his TV said. This is whenever the sewers play, he's very superstitious.
That's probably why he's not here tonight. So he's glued to the couch watching the game. So we'll keep you updated as the time goes on.
Some television headlines for you. I just lost my page. There we go.
Fans of this is us very interesting move this week by NBC. Not only renews them for seasons two and three, but a minimum of 18 episodes in each season. Yeah.
I think the cast found out that the one was the last award show that was held. The Golden Loops. I guess it was.
It was like at the post party. The producer pulled the cast to the side and somebody was running. I don't think they've had the saga words.
I think that Mandy Moore was running her cell phone or doing Facebook live or something. And she got the bombshell dropped on them when she was talking all of her fellow cast mates. They were seeing the episodes of season minimum.
I mean, that's that's something that you'll hear every day. Mikey, you're in both our wives are really into this show. It's a pretty good show.
It's not a bad show. My wife is starting to dabble in this show a little bit. I think.
What I've seen, I've liked. It's it's really it's a lot of flash forward, flash, backward, flash, forward, flash, backward, but I mean, very, very selective on the shows I take on. I've the only student in the new show that I've taken on this year is Taboo.
And I'm still not sure what to think and there's only 8 episodes and there've been two. So, I'm intrigued, but I still want to know. I mean, I like that the day or last night, but in the air.
No, there's only been two episodes. It's the last two, two days. Oh, it's two days.
Chapter three is this week. Okay. Okay.
All I can tell you is things are about to get really, really real and things are about to come to a head. And it's pretty much Tom Hardy versus the world. Right.
At the end on that. The 1820s world. But it's got a really kind of neat supernatural twist to it that I can't quite figure out just yet.
The ending of the second episode makes you go, oh, right. But there's that. If you're a fan of the flash possible spoiler coming in three, two, don't say the one.
Rick Cossenett returning to the show. If you remember who he was, he played Eddie Fawn. So Iris's fiance coming back.
Really going to throw some wrinkles into the mix. Okay, spoilers are over. So if you've unmuted yourself, you're fine now.
Let's see what else we have going on here. ABC and the BBC have ordered M-A-M-C in the BBC. I'm sorry.
After the night manager did as well as it did picking up three golden globes. They've actually now ordered a limited series based on another one of John Locard's novels. The spy who came in from the cold.
Haven't we already done this? I think we have. But they're apparently redoing it.
I don't know if it was theatrical or if it was a series, but I want to say it was theatrical. And I want to say it was fairly recent. I don't think it was fairly recent, but like within the last five to ten years' recent is what I'm thinking.
Take a look. So are you a fan of the Jerry Seinfeld? No.
Yes. Have you heard that news this week? What news is with that?
He has an extra foot. Ladies. No.
Netflix has acquired the rights to comedians and cars getting coffee. There's crackle series where he has basically people getting cars with him. Like President Obama didn't episode where they just he could see like Jay Leno he is a bunch of different cars.
And so they just grab out of his cars and it's kind of an interview show of them driving around the getting coffee. It's very, very popular. Picture the car karaoke thing that Gordon does without the singing.
All the conversation none of the singing. Spy who came in from the cold was actually done in 1965 with Richard Burton. Okay.
So I think you're right. It was not recent. So let's see.
Something older than me. Yes. You are waiting with baited breath for the CBS app only Star Trek discovery.
You're gonna wait longer. God. It's been delayed again past May, but they have cast James Frane as Spock's father.
So you're going for it. I think they're going that right. Does the name Roel Renee mean anything to you?
Not to me. He's a little sister. God.
He's the director of Death Race 2. He will direct the two-hour pilot for Inhumans which is apparently going to be an ABC show that's not going to Netflix. I'm going to Netflix.
Okay. But the two-hour pilot will run for two weeks in IMAX before it airs on ABC this fall. I'm still trying to play.
Oh, it just finally clicked in. Who you said is playing Spock's father. I just realized who that is.
Tell her first one. Mikey. The tutors.
And he was the guy that played the Galavan on Gotham. He was also in Toronto, like I see. Yes, he was.
He was Jeff Bridges, the evil Jeff Bridges is a little toti. He was a guy that was as real. He was in the count of money, Christo.
He was in the smash hit reindeer games. Also in the lone ranger. He's also currently on Orphan Black.
He's also Theo Galavan on Gotham. That's what I said. Yeah.
He was Galavan on Gotham. He was also in a true detective. Oh, I don't watch that.
You really did hate that It was it was terrible. It was now they're talking about with vinyl having done so badly. They're talking about a third season, but I haven't heard anything like they're seeing a what?
True detective. Because they thought vinyl was going to be their winter show and it failed so miserably. And the producers of American crime story are working on a mini series based on the Lewinsky scandal.
So you got that. Oh god. You didn't hear about that.
Like last week they're doing two seasons next year of that show. Oh, what show? American crime story.
They're going to be doing the aftermath of Katrina and the Versace murder. But they're doing two seasons next year because they're not going to get it done for this year. Well, they kicked a lot of tail it during awards season after.
I think the first of those made in America is better because it's a documentary. So TV on DVD and Blue Ray this week Sherlock series four and great that that's even here. Attack on Titan complete season one all together on DVD and Blue Ray this week.
Yeah seasons one of two of Hooper man if you remember that. Oh my god coming this week. When that Danny Coleman?
No that you're thinking that was John Ritter was Hooper man. Okay. Why?
Because they can. The adventure time islands many series coming to DVD this week. And but why?
And something called crime scene cleaners season two. How did season one guys? I don't.
Oh no because beauty of the beast. I don't make up the news. I just remember.
Okay. You are listening to the clubhouse podcast where live every Sunday. Seven Eastern for Pacific.
Yeah, she is. That is Emma Thompson playing bell. We're watching some brand some some more of the new trailer from Beauty and the Beast currently being shown during the AFC Championship.
It looks gorgeous. Any come? Who is playing Beast?

Wow. They very obscure reference. Well played sir.
Enjoy your stay in hell Mr. Zimmerman. So Dan is Dan Stevens.

Kevin Klein is playing Maurice. Oh, her father. All right.
But Dan Stevens. Let me get you a crook on him. That's the wheels are completely off at this point.
This is the tame show too. And the wheels are off. Gee.
He was it. You're going to be the guest about the guy that shows up and it's up holding the family hostage. He's also on the Downton Abbey.
He played Matthew Crawling. Oh, that's a pretty good job. I want to say they got the directed the guest.
He is also leads about to be in Legion. Okay. Okay.
I think he's the main guy in Legion if I'm not mistaken. But when they've been running like a like crazy, you know what that is. It looks that's Professor Rex's son.
If I say it looks X from X been related because there's an X in the middle of the yellow. No. I mean, let me take a look.

All right, we're going to skip POI this week because there's something that's kind of in, I want to talk about, but it's not really POI related. So we're going to, we're going to how you define POI, really. Technically, but I think we're all going to agree on the importance of this.
Well, we are, we are talking about it's greatness. Yeah. I'm going to try to get through this intact.
So if I have to take this a little bit slower than normal, you're going to have to understand. We talked about this on the show the last couple of weeks and yesterday was the ride for Dalton. Dalton is my nephew.
He is his entire life. He's had MS and doctors didn't think that he would make it to double digits and he's almost double that now. He has a special chair of it.
He gets around in. He can only move his head in his hands pretty much, but he's a great kid. Amazing sense of humor that I, that I always, I love talking to him.
He's very cognizant of everything and about three weeks ago a young man that I like to call me young man. He's only two four months younger than me. But I call him my brother because we just got sick of people saying no to people.
Assessive. We were really, he can't Harrison got wind of his condition because he needed a new bed and it's a special kind of bed that he can move around in because when he sits lays in one bed too long, he tends to get bed source, which causes extended stays in the hospital, which means higher medical bills and not everything that's covered by his medicare is Medicaid. So my brother can get wind of this and if you know anything about Dalton and his family, they were, they were a family that kind of took me in when I was an adult orphan for lack of a better term.
I spent holidays with them. We went on family trips together and things of that nature. So I'm very, very close with his family and they have a go-fund me out there.
I should go to go-fund me and look up, I believe the hashtag is bed four Dalton, but you can look up Dalton, few trail, FUT, R-E-L-L. It's how you spell his last name. D-L-T-O-N is his first name.
Ken got a wind of the need and organized in the last three weeks. He got his brothers together from the Southern Dogs, where he motorcycle club. A lot of, if almost all of the Southern dogs are either current or former law enforcement or firefighters and they all got together and they had a poker run yesterday.
Over 60 bikes showed up. A couple of them have maniacs. Although they had a very, very busy day yesterday, a couple of them came by for about 45 minutes, shaken hands and kissing babies and taking pictures and signing autographs.
They made sure to sign a picture and leave a shirt for Dalton because Dalton gets there till later in the day. Friend of the showed Dave Scott and his wife brought up their Jurassic Park jeeps and we've got a lot of pictures of Dalton with those and other people taking pictures with the jeeps. They needed about $2,500 to get to the goal combining that with the, what was on the go-fun me.
We had that goal by like six o'clock. Wow. And the event went to almost midnight.
Some great bands came out. Deception. I want to say I, no, I'm going to screw that up.
Let me see if I can find the text message because I don't, I don't want to screw it. Powerflower was one of the bands that came out. Let's see.
I got them right here. Deception powerflower, the last frequency and interact were the four bands that donated their time to come out and hang out with us yesterday. I want to thank Lori Johnson for coordinating all of the bands and all of that good stuff.
All the great people at the brick tavern. This was, can't ask me to come out and do a little bit of DJ work and MC the event. We were out there from quarter to nine in the morning.
I left at 11 o'clock that night just because I had hit the wall and still had to eat dinner and come home. With everything that's been going on in our society lately and so much of vitriol and venom that people are throwing in each other. Events like this helped me remember that humans can be awesome and it was something that really, it kind of renewed my faith and humanity a little bit yesterday because we've all been seeing everything that's been going on and there's so much darkness but to see a light in the darkness for that his dad was telling me, Rick was telling me that that was really the first time Dalton had been out of terror for anything besides a doctor's visit in like two years.
Wow and everybody, I mean and when I say everybody, I'm saying every person whether they were part of the event or just were people that hung out at that particular tavern that paid the $10 cover just because all the money went to him. They had a fifth they had a the guy that won the poker run. It was a $100 cash gave them money right back in.
Wow the people that were second and third place that won gifts certificates for the tavern. They gave those back a lot of people like I want to say the guy that won the 50-50 drawing he gave a chunk of the money back to see people at everybody was going up and spending time so the one lady like entered like interfered with whatever I'd say interest but put herself in the middle of the first band set and was like look I want to talk to all my sisters out there. I just went to the ATM pulled out money and I'm gonna see you talk to that boy you're going to be back into the pullout more.
Like it was. It was a special moment and I was telling Rob before I got on show. I was at an establishment, it was about 10 30 o'clock at night, 8 o'clock at night, I'm at an establishment and these guys were one of these bike vests and everything like that and stuff and they were like yeah they were just kept talking about this awesome event that was going on in Saxony and you know I put two and two together because it's all on social media that yeah I was kind of all over it.
That Rob was hosting this doing MC in this event and these guys were sitting there was like yeah we did the we did the ride for Dalton thing and everything like that and it's it's a powerful message that was sent across because I was probably about 40 minutes away from where the event was held and these guys were all the way from over here and they're like yeah we just came from it. It was a very, very important thing and it was it was a wonderful thing to see because it didn't matter what time of the day it was or where was that? You still had people talking about it.
It's nice to see things like that and like you said it's it's a gray dark area in this world right now and a lot of things you know you can tongue and cheek everything and you gotta you gotta look around but it's nice to see that you know humanity has a has a bright spot and everything like that and it was a wonderful thing and it wasn't even just the southern dogs there were probably six or seven different motorcycle clubs represented here that from all different walks of life and everybody's hanging out and having a great time and friends of the show that it came out people that weren't even affiliated with clubs that just rode their motorcycles came out and they were interacting with everybody and it was just such I'm exhausted but I would do it again in a heartbeat because of who it was for sometimes you'll stay up 48 hours to make it for the right message you know whether you ain't lying and I really did and I just want to thank everybody if you and if you still want to give or get involved go to go fund me just put Dalton's name in Dalton futurel and there's a couple of different go fund me is one they're trying to they're trying to get a new vehicle because they're they're last van broke down and they're specialty vehicles that they have to have to be able to transport in places clarify the spelling of Dalton F U T R E L L look those up and just help this family out there they're having a rough go of it but they're I mean to see his two sisters right there with them all day long whatever whatever he needed they were there when when Rick and his wife trend were kind of shaking hands and kissing babies with everybody that came through the door because they all wanted to meet the family the girls were just picking up right where they left off and it that is family people that it's family aren't just the people you're born into family are the people that have your back and are there for you regardless and for everybody that came out and everybody that's going to continue to help out I can't say personally enough thank you it was I'm still freaking out about this life affirming it's humans are just awesome sometimes and if if we could just have more of this and less of that it's just it is amazing how much better things will be spend spend that energy that you're taking and you're using to tear other people down and take that energy and lift people up for the love of God and like I was telling people earlier sometimes you can't live in the currency of likes you have to enjoy other people around you just smile a bit and just take it all in because while you're nose deep in your social media and you're more worried about this this currency of of likes there's people who are actually trying to like who you are as a person and just smile enjoy walk down the street shake someone's hand just just do those small things and it makes a whole difference in the matter of one day to a week to a month to a year just do it just just just try it it was amazing and I I do it all over again heartbeat so thank you again and and I don't want to spend the whole stuff show talking about this but you could dig well be sure that we were going to talk about it regardless of what we were talking about tonight remember because this was an amazing event we had so much fun and thank you to Ken the man I don't know how he did it and he won't take the credit even if you talk to him he'll give the credit to everybody else but I said it in Facebook last time I'm going to stay again right now I'm giving him the credit because I can he's my brother and I know how much to work he put into this and he crushed it so thank you again good job that being said let us get this thing back moving again we're going to do some music news for you because we are

have groups of former players doing like their own commentary during the game live there's going to be two different panels one will be Brent Barry Grant Hell and Derek Fisher the other I knew we found out the other day at Grant Hill is was married to R&B Superstar Tamia yep didn't know that until the other was or still is okay so are and the other panel will be Greg Anthony Kevin McHale and Richard Hamilton let's do anything for you yeah yeah I mean this this was announced I want to see Jalen Rose Chris Weber I want to see those guys like Gary Peyton Sean Kim Sean Kemp and all 12 this kid just 12 Sean Kim who has an entire NBA team of his own but no that they're going to be this is an experiment they're going to be on five different Thursday night games I don't know that it's going to do anything but I'm all up for something if you can do something different if you can bring something a little bit different to the NBA is going to need all they can because at this point the NBA might be the worst professional sport in North America well this is this is the first time in a wrong time that I've said about both the NBA and the NHL that I'm just I'm just not ready I can watch the NHL though because there's enough diversity there where it's not one sided with with the NBA it's um which who do you want oh we've talked about this I said the only team that could be any kind of surprises the Boston Celtics with you know Isaiah Thomas I really say that's the team to watch out for other than that the NBA is literally a golden state versus cats. Lavy on Bell has exit in the game.
Oh no. Right injury questionable return. He was talking about Lavy on just a man of the guy.
Lavy on Bell is the best running back in the NFL and then Jay and Jay is second and and you know and David Johnson from Arizona those guys are game changers and I feel like I like Daniel Williams a girl loving him but that's a whole different dynamic I feel like Lavy on Bell was the game changer in this game because knowing that does have a ground game what they do. All right let's go to your NBA stand stand standards there are none uh you're standing he likes in the eastern conference Atlantic division the Brooklyn nets they're nine and thirty. There's only one team that's close to that too.
We'll get there they're 19 games back there seven and a half back on the six are so the six are for the first time in a long time. They're two and a half back on the nicks the nicks are eight back on Boston Boston is two back on Toronto every team in this division is on a losing street between the this the five of them two or six of there are an eight game losing street this particular division. Derek Rose show up for the losing street I don't know if he's even shown back up but he wants Max money he wants five years 150 million.
Yeah he won't be from who he would be in the ball boy. She'll say China maybe in the central division Millawoke is three games below 500 but they're ten and a half back this is a tough division to be in by the way Millawoke is lost five in a row they're tied with Detroit they're both a game back on Chicago Chicago is a game back on Indiana but Cleveland running away with the thing because they're eight and a half up on the Pacers because they're Cleveland in the southeast division Miami still sucks we are three back on Orlando. No no no Hassan wideside talk here.
But we've won three to row but we're still 14 and 30. We're three back on Orlando Orlando's six back on Charlotte Charlotte's a half back on the bullets the bullets are two and a half back on his hands but I do like the new logo for Washington I'm a fan looks good because they're I mean you can probably just put the first syllable in that game a little bit closer hungering on but hello in the western conference. The first one in the Pacific division Philanix is almost halfway to 500 but they're 23 and a half games back.
I just want to take a moment in time because I'm listening to these scores the Mavericks are no longer the worst team in the NBA. Thank you. Goody.
There uh a half game back on it was it Mikey was talking out earlier about how the Mavericks were killing the Lakers. Phoenix at 23 and a half back there a half game back on the Lakers right now. And by the way the final score of the Laker game 1 22 to 73.
God. Oh the Mavericks what a game. By all those 50 good Lord the Lakers are three and a half back on Sacramento Sacramento Sacramento is 12 games back on the Clippers but the Clippers are still nine and a half back on Golden State who's who are writing a seven game win streak.
Your Dallas Mavericks 15 and 29 and they're 19 and a half back. They are two games back on Nolan's. Now one's a six back on Memphis.
Memphis is seven and a half back on Houston. San Antonio's been winning three on a row right now. So that's your question conference right there.
And in the north west division the Minnesota timber wolves. Yeah you're so pretty bad 15 and 28. There are three and a half back on Portland Portland's a game back on Denver Denver is six back on Oklahoma City but Utah's writing a six game win streak about that Utah.
But Utah jazz because when I think jazz I think it's all like city but they're three and a half up in the division. I think I think of Rodney Dangerfield and my five wives. Is our themes and I just obscure references that nine people get and I'm one of them.
Yeah okay. Tonight's theme tonight's theme. Any show that involves me.
That's a running game. That is fair. Let us get into at this point.
We got to we got a curve it around just a little bit and get into it and just we're going to do one in tomorrow and we had a couple of baseball pictures die tragically overnight. One for Kansas City and one for my beloved braves. So we're still getting details about that but the one I want to talk about tonight at 61 did not know that he was battling cancer.
The great Miguel Ferrer passed away this last week. If you don't know who he is you might want to run a check. Very accomplished director as well.
Not a lot of people know that. When he was on crossing Jordan he directed a handful of episodes of that show really. You know but when your parents are who they are.
First of all your dad is the first Hispanic actor to win an Oscar and a leading actor Oscar and your mom is Rosemary Clooney which makes your cousin George Clooney. He was in Robo Cop Iron Man 3. I mean this guy has got skins on the wall.
He's a voiceover. He was Slade Wilson in the team titan series. He was in Twin Peaks.
He was on NCI LA. He was his last big project. He was an adventure time.
He was a vandal savage on young justice which I'm so ready for season 3 on Netflix. They just announced and get it done. He was in Beverly Hills, Chihuahua, three.
Everybody's got their history. He was on desperate housewives. He was on the protector.
He has a ton of voice work. He's also the voice of a particular campaign on a particular ad campaign. You heard of all the time.
But I can't think of what it was for. He also was a voice on Jackie Chan adventures. If you remember that particular series.
I remember that never watched it. I mean this was this is a guy. If you don't know who he is, you'd see a picture of when you'd go that dude.
And didn't did not know he'd been fighting cancer. But people said well he was George Clooney's cousin whatever. They were really close.
They were really, really close. So we want to send our best to his family and friends as well as the two pictures that passed away this weekend. I mean, but I still were so ahead of 2016, you know.
So we're okay. But again, Miguel for that wouldn't took me completely off guard because I had no idea. Yeah.
And my boss got the got the notification right before I did and he looked at me with that look and I was like what and he and all of a sudden my phone went off like, oh, that's what you're talking about. He was like, yeah, that's not see that one coming. So our best is family.
All right, gentlemen, let us combine pop culture worlds as we talk a little bit of pro wrestling. Your first WWE Hall of Famer names this week has Vince continues to laugh at TNA because Kurt Angle and apparently he didn't know until about three hours before WWE announced it. He got the phone.
He didn't tweet about till about five o'clock and what did his tweets say? Said I'm finally coming home. Hashtag.
It's true. It's true. It's true.
And that the video package they did for him was amazing. That was probably one of the better ones I've seen and they did it with such class. You know, the guys come back and, you know, Vince or H, they don't they don't like it that much and they eat it.
Angle have always gotten along really. And honestly, I will say this till the day I die and unless someone shows up at this point, but the two greatest wrestlers with all time. Number one Brett Hart.
Number two Kurt Angle. Not a bad list of beyond. Did you see who, because we also have rumors of DDP going in this year, revishing Rick Rude going in this year, have you heard your strong rumors for your female inductee this year?
Yeah. Miss his edge. Really.
Beth Phoenix is your rumor for the women's win this year. Beth Phoenix and then the second one, trotting behind her because you can't knock the pioneer ship, but the number two is China. Yes, I've heard those rumors as well.
And I think, you know, if you don't want to, because people are going to sit there and ask, ask, ask, and then they'll dig deeper and dig deeper. You just might as well throw China in now. If you really worried about her, other career path, you throw her now.
Everyone's like, oh, yeah, but it's amazing. But Sunny's in. So your focus is at that point just wrestling because you're sitting there like, oh, China, wrestler blah blah blah.
If you sit down and drag it on, if you were like, who's this China, everyone keeps talking about the kids are going to search? But you know, I'd be okay with both of them going in this year. You could put them both?
Totally okay with that. Chris Jericho signed a new deal with WWE, but please be advised that Fazi is recording a new album and he says he has three Hollywood projects in the works currently. Um, so I hope I hope they're not a time soon, because rumor will be, I was just looking at my phone early on when we're talking about picks.
Well, we'll get to that when that time comes, but yeah, Chris Jericho, yeah, you made the list. Did you hear what he did this week? Speaking of the list, uh, he got a kid to, uh, he had this guy is trying to act to scroll to prom, and he does a video form where he tells her if she doesn't go to prom with him, she was going on the list.
Yeah, I'm sure that convinced her. Uh, Lesner not scheduled for Fassline. So not sure what's going on there.
Injury report this week, Darren Young has hyper extended his right elbow during the main event taping. So he's out for a little while and to Jerry out with a knee injury as well. Poor Jerry.
If only you were talking to him and you know who, uh, congratulations to Trish Stratus. She and her husband now have a daughter that was born last weekend and they need Madison Patricia. That's a pretty name.
I'm a fan. Sounds like someone on the food network. Wonderful.
Oh, yes, we just have now the title. Regent thoughts by Steve Zermon. That was so out of luck.
Field. I was not expecting that. Okay.
Um, but uh, where was I? Interesting. Michael Cole news this week.
He is going back to the frosted tips. Oh, God. Uh, he is rumored to be interested in going back behind the scenes and leaving the announce table.
Good. That he wants to work with up and coming announcers instead of being in front of the camera. And I think that'd be great because I'm a huge fan of Todd Phillips.
And I think if Michael Cole has my resume on SmackDown this week, I don't know as much as I'm not a fan of Michael uh, Michael Cole. I think he could teach Todd Phillips something. Todd Phillips could take the ball and run with it.
Because the rest of the announced teams other than Austin areas during the 205 live stuff. He's so great. Those guys are horrible.
And Corey Graves is actually good on NXT, but on role. He's one of the worst. It's because he has to be like over the top heel guy and he doesn't have to be in my opinion.
And I've never understood what he knows a lot. And just let him do what he does. But he's like an NXT.
He's awesome. Everybody prepare yourselves. The iPad is in the studio this week.
Thank God. So raw, raw notes. What the heck are we doing with Sami Zayn?
Trying to make make me grow up to him. Although I still like his team. So why are we, or we're turning him into like this crazy person?
Like, I don't get this. He's it makes no sense. He's Daniel Bryan meets Santino meets um, is that going?
Let him just be him. He's got a great personality. Let him be I do want to say respect to that crowd Monday night when they did the angle Dale because they played this theme and everybody did the use suck.
You suck. So I was like, it's good to see people know in the old school. Yeah, at least they they caught on because sometimes there's some of those guys who come back and go like Uh-huh.
Who? Uh-huh. And people have been asking who's going to induct him.
A lot of people have said he, I think he said he wants Austin to do it. You know who I think should induct him? The guys that invented and go Angle, but Edge and Christian do it.
Edge won't do it. Um, if his wife's in, he's got to be there. See, I feel like Angle wants the highest profile guy to go in because his guys aren't there.
He's an Eddie and Ben War guy. You know, with them being there. And now Vince has all but one of TNA's whole of favors.
The only one left is Gail Kim and she just went in. Oh, she'll go in two years. Watch and maybe I would just slow on the uptake, but did you notice the way Sammy's aimed trunks are laid out?
The the trunks look like there's zigzags, but if you look at it, they actually form his initials. Yeah. Just notice that for the first time this week.
Maybe I'm just a little slow. It's been that way forever. I guess it may have.
I don't know, but I just noticed it this week. And uh, Stephen, did you watch closely when Rollins went to pedigree strobe and did you notice anything strange? They got reversed out over what the setup because the the size difference between Rollins and Stroman is fairly significant when he took the arms when he hooked the arms he had to jump up to get strobe and it's it.
I didn't know it. I did I didn't see that because I remember the when he hooked the arms, there was something strange. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't jump to set it and I was like, oh, probably shouldn't have done them finish around.
So interesting, R08's news. Donovan, diejack, maybe done with the company. Ho.
The guy that prints Nanna's been with lately. The real big dude, donovan, diejack. Oh, again, who and people, people who people have people have asked you know the WWE interest at a parently WWE is adopting a policy of not looking at anyone under an ROH deal until at least 60 days after that deal expires you know who are so much show at the rumble despite all their deals that they have on and I'm just saying they might be a broken commodity boy T and H trying to get them walk down big time but apparently they're gonna be they're gonna do the match with the young bucks yeah they're not under any contract right now they are literally just real and they could walk to WWE with those T and A titles and T and A will be stupid because and we talked we talked last week about the fact that the benefits are also working without a deal they're deal expired December 31st who cares for them though that's a big deal Keith Lee also out he signed with WWE but Shane Taylor resigned yep so interesting there also Keith told me a couple of weeks ago he was like a he's keeps from here and so you have he keeps from sending Tony O but he's always in town and him and I we talk quite frequently just being Pokemon people and Dragon Ball Z people and we'll talk all the time but Keith was like you might want to watch our OH in the next four months and so when he told me that and I met Shane a couple of times Shane's awesome and those are two mountains of him eggs that but the only problem I have with Shane is that his ass won't pay a damn bar tab but I appreciate that Shane if you're here on this asshole anyways he's he but hold anyways but no no but Keith said watch our OH in the next four to five months and I thought that program they had with War Machine was great it's gonna look awesome and War Machine's actually another Arlington base team you know they're they're a really good team also also resigning with our OH this week they're an answer Bobby Cruz and Adam Hangman page assigned a new deal with our OH as Bullet Club worked itself into more and more of obscurity new Japan has a new English commentary team I don't know I think this is just for their streaming services not the stuff that JR's doing but Kevin Kelly and Don Callis has reemerged to work with TNA so you got that don't we don't Don West Don Callis no Don Callis who is like the he was a he was a valet for a while TNA is officially out of their separating themselves from Marty Bell former knockouts champion and Anthem apparently restructuring the company and we'll be dropping the TNA Lego label and just going back to impact wrestling that impact wrestling logo though look show I can't stand it like the little ego and it looks like a parting or terrible and apparently be prepared because we're about to overhaul the US and icy titles again but they're saying they will not resemble the other singles title so they can't they can't let them they can but don't mess with the icy title that's the look leave that one be I feel like if you're gonna go to the icy title and switch it up make it you know flip it between the two designs they have don't don't sit there make another one the US tunnel yeah you can change that a little triangle pizza pizza shaped horrible Americans like we're saying I just I don't like that they're duplicating the Velthamil Shows trust me that's Lauer will be at the commentary table next Sunday for a rumble yes finally so that's gonna happen I told Mike I told Mike he has to commentate you he has to show he's gonna be at the Spanish and I'm Mike he just do the same oh my god yeah I mean deals the ascensions getting an an overhaul and there look there was a preview of they're gonna be wearing kind of like masks and they showed a piece of one on Twitter looks kind of cool but I don't know that we can they buried them so bad I don't know that we can not recover from that AJ Styles Jonesboro not a good town for WWE this week Mike he knows all about Jonesboro AJ gets his bag stole because people said Rob he wasn't like somebody rolled up on him he was performing and somebody stole his bag that had seven seven thousand yen in it a thousand dollars cash it had his Xbox one a small screen TV in it so he's got and then Orton gets into it with a fan in a gym who keeps trying to take pictures of him all he's working out nor kind of custom out and then went on a Twitter random about it but other people were saying no he was really cool I was like kind of too late Orton's already caught out there that it actually happened so there's that I actually sent Steven this picture the other day in chat I don't know if if I showed it to you or not there's some new Funko pops coming out next month and did you see what did you see what they were label Steven I don't think of it they're gonna be wall greens exclusives all right wall greens still business me get you a bigger picture you can see a bigger version of it well Mr.
Clown it's true you page B.K. in fame that cane is just adorable okay with anybody said at least they had the good outfit on can I just like have the mask doesn't all cover his entire face but they will be available in the middle of next month as a wall greens exclusive so those will probably be I got some new Funko pops in the mail yesterday I'm very excited because I got a gift card from Amazon for Christmas so I spent it on Thursday and summer okay somebody's listening to the show because we're gonna talk about La Lucha Dora here in a minute but summer away sends out a tweet because it was my my prediction was wrong but her tweet said wait a second I thought I was La Lucha Dora or Eva Marie somebody is listening to the show second week in a row sir I'm just saying somebody's listening to the show that's scary thought that did you see who's a girl Dora turned out to be no Mickey James really she is officially on the roster now I read she was backstage and I was like okay so but like three weeks ago I was like that's this how they're gonna bring Eva Marie back because she can't be on her own she needs to be somebody's sidekick no because the the way I saw it was it's either gonna be it's either gonna be Eva Marie or it's gonna be Mickey James I was like you don't have someone Russell NXT announced the next day they signed a multi you know appears not the next day that took a minute to happen it was it was it was a week it was yeah it took a few days because they were offering and she wasn't responding there for a minute I'm not sure what was going on and that match with with Oxa is up for match of the year wait for San Antonio brother I remember me versus Oscar we've got something we got to do that days I'm not trying to make sure we're home before he makes to take over starts but uh in SmackDown notes did you watch SmackDown Steven yeah are we just telling Ziggler to act like he's high what happened in the king's court it's like let me tell you something wall there it was weird I think people I think the way Ziggler's booked and one the couple times I met him in the last time I met him before mania we were you know I actually got me and Brian actually got to spend a couple minutes with him we were we spent about a good half an hour with him just talking we were talking Cleveland Cleveland Brown football and everything like that and he was like yeah I want to go heal the problem is they don't like the fact that he is high high octane because if he gets going on the mic and he goes high voltage you know how old shot Michael's was how yeah how old how old Austin and old um another great heal okay even the rock is heal like high voltage where they can sit there and go full speed and just start you don't want to do like no we want you to be ominous I mean he's like he's like I don't want to do that but he has to do it okay it's okay to have a heal be over it's okay that's what the attitude you're always built on and see I feel like like I was we'll talk about it here in the next couple minutes with the with the rumble segment but I don't understand why they're slowing him down because if you really want to push this guy to the moon or at least make him decent to make money off of you let him go full octane I agree I would let him go high speed rip people up not pull a punch and he did a great job with with Jerry but the slow tempo like you said it was we all but I'll tell you what sir Ziegler and Lauer they went there Lauer Lauer's like showing all his footage and he goes really Jerry I got some video footage I'd like you to see oh flashback October 2012 when he lands the elbows on him that people think triggered the heart attack that put a wall or in the hospital you want to know who they that they with there wow you want to know who created Lauer did he really Lauer said look I they're both they're not the one from this week okay Brown Brown's fans and everything Lauer said I want this angle to get over and I want you to be a top heal so I'll do whatever I can do wow and Lauer and a lot of the a lot of the old guys are the same way you know Daniel Bryan's not an old guy but him is management now everyone's the same way they want Ziegler to do something and Lauer's like I got perfect and it really turned you heal because you know when you turn a heal against Kali Stoen Apollo Creed or Kali Stoes seems to be the guy that everybody wants to turn a heal with slightly who cares about either of those guy there jobbers that best yeah at best and and Ziegler's like you're not gonna get any heal heat for that so here you really want to get some heal heat you want to turn full blown heal I know thing of two about he's like here you go and we talked about the neck a couple of the things real quick Moranolo Moranolo Moranolo he really literally in the very last like one of the shows said Alexa Bliss was treating Becky Lynch like quote Cruella's aville treated Dalmatians I hate this guy really I really hate this guy at least he's better than Byron sex that ain't saying by Byron sex alone that ain't saying that's a former gator great we talked about that we mentioned earlier the rumble Steven will be there guys well I don't quite a few members the Empire will be at the rumble hoping that you'll well the week after next is Super Bowl so we're gonna take that week off because that game's gonna be going under the show but the week after that is gonna be a elimination chamber so let's have a question yeah just a few people coming over and I have a big deal if you want to come over we're going to join us and then but the week after that is gonna be a elimination chamber so what I'd like to do is have you back for elimination chamber to talk about maybe some of the things that we didn't see because you were at the rumble and we're watching it either here we haven't heard anything back from Henderson Taphouse yet I don't know if we'll be there or not but if not we're still gonna do the pre show and it is an hour earlier next week because the paper view starts at six o'clock central so we'll be on an hour earlier with our pre show next week this will be a four-hour paper view so stagger off the river walk all the way there we have fishbow margaritas and woo cinnamon buns all lined up from here so we are looking forward to hearing your report from that event because you and a bunch of the people a bunch of our friends are gonna be down there so about 15 of us I'm sick of remember the rumble let's leave that alone yeah and what I hate is that they keep showing the alamo on the remember the real quick NHL news let's give you your standings boys did you see what happened here stars this week no Mike did you see the footage of the fight no one of your younger guys got to a fight and I can remember who they were playing you all right the other guy took your took the stars guys helmet off and yeah start beating it with his helmet yeah somebody got a little bit of a fine but in the eastern conference at Atlantic division my Tampa Bay lightning is terrible they've lost three in a row they are 16 points out of first place but they're tied with the the sobres and both of them are a point behind Mike he's beloved breadwings which we don't know why but Detroit is a point behind my beloved panthers for this two back on Toronto Toronto is a point back on brash and Boston two back on Otorua and Otorua is nine points back on the Montréal Canadian you know what I really really would like the origin of why Mikey roots for the red weight back when me and Chad were playing hockey video games Dallas did not have they were so the North Star at that time so he followed the penguins and I followed the red the best two teams back in the back back in the day as as I thought once it's not like I'm old back in the day was penguins and red wings so those were the teams that we just liked and so when Dallas came in in 93 he became a star span and I remained you just kept it real I just kept it hundreds I like the red wings now like stars like me wrong but this is the team that I originally followed because we had no team in Dallas what do we know about the red wings red wings sock there we go okay but they were the ones that invented the octopus right yes because you had next they have heard two different stories I have heard that the octopus is because of the original eight teams but I've also heard that originally you had to win eight games in a playoff so when the Stanley Cup and I don't know which one of those is true I shall look that so you got that now we also know there's another division in the eastern conference my video with that division is called I don't love a much repellent division oh is that the ice cream that's knee-potted but very nice track the New York Islanders with 46 points they're 20 points out but they've won three on a row they got that going form there are three points behind the devils jersey is tied with the Carolina hurricanes I got it right I haven't missed that one yet this year both of those teams are a point behind the flyers filly is 11 points back on the Rangers the Rangers four back on Pittsburgh Pittsburgh's a point back on Columbus Columbus is two back on the Washington Capitals hey by the way I found out why where did it start with the octopus okay go ahead sir and it actually did start with the what the red wings I knew it was Detroit but was it because they had the big at the Joe they had the big octopus in the ceiling having eight arms the octopus symbolized the number of playoff wins necessary for the red wings to earn the Stanley Cup back in 1952 there you go you look at it at the same Wikipedia of age I am yeah Pete and Jay who's a motto brothers and storners into Detroit's eastern market hurled an octopus into the rank of the old red barn okay the teams sweat the maple leaves and Montreal cadadians on a route to winning the championship as well as winning the two with the next three championship sounds like a Korean barbecue of yeah and tasty in the western conference central division in a division that has no eastern or western uh the Colorado avalanche were very very sad that they're 35 37 points out of first place they've also lost five in a row they are okay your Dallas stars are not in last place and you can be happy with that however let me tell you that your Dallas stars right now are 19 points ahead of color okay so you're not gonna worry about the basement anytime soon but there are point back on the winner peg jets when it peg three back on St. Louis who are tied with Nashville but both of them are 12 points back on Chicago and Minnesota's only two points ahead of them in the Pacific division the areas I can't get used to Arizona coyotes I can't do it they have 34 points they got more than Colorado but they're 14 back on the kings the kings are two back on then cover who are a point back on Calgary who are nine points back on Edmonton who are tied with Santa Jose Santa Jose is one four in a row and they're only a point behind Anna Stein how can there be three Canadian teams specifically specifically how's that possible I don't know that makes no sense to me it's like the fact that okay see is still in the northwest division of the NBA but but Drake it's like who is Drake rooting for this week all right gentlemen let us move on I believe it's time for movie talk we ready okay fair enough let's do it box office numbers from our friends at box office mojo dropping out of the top ten this week the bye-bye man drops from four to eleven yeah three point six million dollars two weeks twenty million dollars it was a seven point four million dollar budget passengers drops from ten to thirteen this week two point three million dollars five weeks ninety four million to one hundred ten million dollars budget that doesn't include promotion that's bad an underworld blood wars drops from nine to sixteen this week the sequel nobody asked for one point seven million three weeks twenty eight and a half million thirty five million dollar budget number ten is last week's number eight so the decline for sleepless has already begun three point seven million dollars two weeks fifteen point two million dollars friend of the show of Patricia Nichols actually wouldn't saw this film and I went

seen this film do not spoil it for the people that do not want to know because there's a very interesting twist to this film um it made my eyes fly open when you said it uh when I went and saw the founder Don went and saw split and Kevin was there I saw Kevin the next morning and Kevin's like I didn't sleep well last night this movie messed me up so and if you listen to our iTunes exclusive the

about that here in just a little bit what is going on here people thank you all right so one of the big stories from this week if I say unfrozen caveman basketball player who am I talking about Kevin Kevin Garnett no no god west coast west coast um clippers Kevin Griffin you got the last one like Griffin like Griffin Kevin Griffin apparently has his own movie studio he has his own production company right now and he is teeming up with the creator of blackish Ken LaBaris to remake white men can't jump oh good guys because that needs to exist I can't go back and watch the original because it's so dated well the original though was really good though and it's time like I like I like watched a few minutes of it I was like this is so dated I can't yeah great soundtrack another we talked about soundtrack earlier great soundtrack I don't know how you put it into modern day time I don't either but but I mean it's a great movie but beyond that it would be like trying to watch it in living color now oh I'm saying it's food to stop with the letter Q Billy we do have a distributor for the two-poock biopic all eyes on me it's a lines game it's going to just be good uh release date will be June 16 so they're feeling very very good about this film to release it in mid June is that dot counts birthday very nice have you seen the trailer yeah Steven have you seen the trailer for this thing oh no actually I can't after the show look up the trailer for all eyes on me this kid is nailed it to buck he nailed it's scary as much as a kid that look I don't know is it the same guy they got straight out of compton I don't think so I don't know it's it's frightening how much he looks like did you watch the trailer I asked you to watch before the show no I never could okay Steven have you heard of a movie called colossal yeah uh dot com might what if you heard of his new movie coming out called colossal it's with Anne Hathaway and she's kind of a down on her luck single girl and apparently in Seoul South Korea a monster is attacking the city and what they find out is the monster which is a Gojira type monster is a manifestation of her so you're watching the trailer and you're hearing the reporters like why is this monster always looking down as it's destroying cities and you see her just kind of walking so one night she's watching the TV and she's moving her arms and the monsters doing exactly what she's doing and she's like oh my god so the end of the trailer they've got she's like no visit they're like you're full of it whatever she's like no pull up some news footage that's live and she starts doing this weird dancing and they're like she's like what is it doing they're like it's dancing she goes yes but how is it dancing and they look here and they're like oh my god that's her she doing the Elaine dance kind of think she's like if it's braggle furniture Jim braggles sent me this at a text message and I watched this trailer and I went oddly enough I'm in on it's it's got it in our wheelhouse that's what like when you ask me I'm like it's sci-fi comedy so I like it's a quest it's like a modern day attack at the 50 foot woman kind of sorta but she's but she's but it's like an avatar of her it just watched the trailer okay it'll make more sense when you watch the trailer uh Warner Brothers even I don't know if you heard this another attack on Titan reference Warner Brothers developing their own live action attack on Titan film um wait so so is it going to restart because of the first two-part special bomb or like I don't know they just want to do their own version they want to do an Americanized version of it American I don't know if you can Americanize that but James Franco and he could be younger he could be the chick with the jetpack there is going to be a new spider-man animated feature coming in winter of 2018 Miller and Lloyd are involved and I from what I understand Miles Morales exactly that's going to happen and then we found out Friday as Dwayne Johnson announces that black Adam's gonna get his own film I thought that was always the plan no he's the villain in the shazam film yeah black Adam I just I thought that was always the plan though that he was gonna get his own film they just announced it this week that it's gonna happen I don't know how I feel about this um if Suicide Squad can get their own film why not black Adam they'd really got to be careful it's all I'm saying I'm just saying following that that path of logic that's my key doing over there why's he got to be Adam why's he got to be Adam why's he got to be Adam you idiot okay so moving you releases this week because everybody needed this to happen resident evil the final chapter is happening oh he sure it's the final chapter we hope which is all that thank god it's over a movie that we will be screening on Tuesday night a dog's purpose which is under a little bit of scrutiny right now the premiere got cancelled and Josh Gad is looking for people to look into this we'll be giving you our review later this week also reviewing this week from us but we will be seeing tomorrow night the new Matthew McConaughey film gold based on a true story I love gold it actually looks kind of good it's very wolf of wall streetish so also a movie called I am Michael this is going to cause controversy I'm Steve it well he is Michael well I don't know that this is his story Quinto let me let me pull this out I don't want to get this wrong because this is this is kind of wheels off James Franco and Emma Roberts are in this and Quinto is in this as well a gay activist and magazine founder is saved from his homosexuality after turning to God oh boy oh precious so I hope this is a here we go kind of thank god oh boy also brace yourself the daughter starring Jeffrey Rush Nicholas Hope and Sam Niel this is a story of a man who returns home to discover a long buried family secret and who's attempts to put things right threatened the lives of those he left home years before apparently this has been on the on the shelf for a couple of years and finally getting released it's the end of January always a good sign so be it be advised DVD and blue right new releases this week in furnote didn't this just come I got the end of this is like an october I think the light between oceans which dawn screen and I I don't know if I can look that far back and see which one that is US Indianapolis men of courage starring action film star Nicholas Cage what happened to him I saw what happened to the death of Superman I know what happened to him limited collectors addition three disc blue ray of the man who fell to earth this week with the bowie the late I would think a faith based film called I'm not ashamed and criterion collection does the sixties film black girl this week I wish I would do a little less obscure stuff really too tech talk let's get to it's hulu will be offering offline playback very very soon they haven't said a timeline but they're going to be where you can just download the show and watch it when you're not connected to the events oh that makes sense can't leave more numbers or services don't do that a couple of switch announcements for you ultra street fighter two will be on it yeah finally set a platform other than ps4 that lands three will not be on it badlands what's badlands it's similar to like red dead revolver but like modern day esk borderlands is it borderlands I know it's badlands okay badlands it's no it's its own game and some news on mario cart eight deluxe sputumes on it but not no new tracks though alright deluxe mario cart I heard I heard two new tracks every new every new thing is going to be on the battle system but they're going to have at least two to four new tracks okay because the the headline I said there weren't going to be any new tracks but there will be like you set a revamped battle mode new characters new vehicles I love the new characters oh I like that they're doing a smart steering feature for new players to learn how to use it yeah oh no I think that's that's really good form because I have a lot of friends who are like they don't want to play against me and they're like you're jerks on my own that's fine well they're also now doing the ability to carry two items at the same time yeah oh yeah it's like like a carry over from the arcade game like double dash yeah um now the the tracks that I saw I know where you're going with it they're splitoon based I wonder if that's part of the battle system or the the new battle mode oh yeah they have they have paint and everything including for the battle mode so I'm wondering like are we not getting new tracks to race on but we're getting new tracks to do battle mode on maybe okay okay and uh tech ins release date may have been leaked a screenshot was put up that said your tech your new tech and it will be May the 28th but the official announcement's coming this week I hope it's bad in that last one and Halo Wars 2 is finished and ready to go release date is February the 21st did you ever play the first one statement were you ever Halo Wars oh no I like Halo period I I can't stand call a duty by I love me some Halo I'm not good at it but do Halo I'll take Halo over and call a duty well Halo Wars is nothing like Halo Halo Wars is more like Starcraft Command and Conquer it's it's what Halo was originally supposed to be in the first place before it went first person shooter it was created as this format okay so they finally did it with Halo Wars and then that company was local actually uh I can't think of any of the studio but it was a Dallas-based studio it was our last game before they folded oh yeah Steven any Nintendo information that you want to get or that you can give us at this I remember you said if you want to give us what you can but I know some of it a lot of it is just pricing you know you got your joycons and everything and stuff like that new joycon if you let's say you lose aside panels on the on the switch on the on the game pad you know those are going to be about fifty dollars the pro controllers are going to be about sixty um everything's kind of up in price because I they're taking a big gamble on it thinking that this is going to be it's going to be the mecca of gaming for at least the next three years what is your thoughts on the two 99 price point how it jumped I'm I'm okay with I mean there's an average price it hits the market just fine my fear of it I thought they were going to over price it they marketed it great but because they didn't do that with the Wii U so I figured they were going to you know over market it and then over price it but the two 99 being 300 bucks I feel that's a fair actually a great price for what it is because you think about it's a tablet a console a 3DS it's it's it's multiple things that you could have in one and I I feel that's an amazing price for it you got to buy you got to you got to you know stick your stick your toes into the water a little bit and try it out but the one thing I think that heard some a little bit isn't the fact that the library it doesn't have anything the first opening you know they have no launch towels and Zelda well it's something Chad brought up last week on the show that I wanted to ask you about is in the marketing of this we're seeing a lot of places there's a there's a game stop near where I worked where they're like look we're going to have 35 of them and it's first come first serve so reserve yours now is are you is there are a lot of places that are experiencing that are they're just companies that are making small orders to try to avoid flooding the market no what they're doing is they're basing it off of the the micro NES system so that was kind of the the NES classic the NES classic they they sat there and they're like all right we're going to put we're going to put a 200 out see how many people buy it was sold out in a minute they want to do that with with the switch just just to get a touch and go because it makes it a little more better and it grows more money because the the way the world is now is if you can't have it you want it more I don't know but are but are is the plan we're going to release some and then we're going to release more because I think part of the thing that make it's making people gunshot was you did an initial release but then it took forever you for you to make more of them and release more of them is there a more timely timeline this time oh yeah no no no they have they actually have they have a full set market like the Wii U right now they have a full set market but what they want to do is to see what the pre-sales are and like you know like you said some of the place will only have 35 a lot of the places especially in the Dallas market Dallas is really fickle about buying things okay and and like I can go to Santoni on go to Jersey I can go to New York and they're sold out in the matter of minutes Dallas you can you can have a touch go everyone Dallas no matter if it's 150 30 or whatever they're all sold out all over the place targets best buy game stopping thing like that and I think the switch is going to exceed expectations because people are going to want to buy it that's March 1st is your release March 3rd okay March 3rd which is a Thursday or a Friday okay Thursday and I feel like it's it's genius the way they're doing it because I feel that they actually that is a Friday oh it is all right well I feel like if they through all of it out without doing the pre-orders and stuff like that and just said hey we have you know four million consoles out for sale it would plummet but if they make it an exclusive thing people want to fight for the exclusive right so the color controllers things like that so but the but the timeline is going to be a little bit more aggressive of more availability for oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because because the way they want to see it is see how how well it it test out so if they say we're only going to have it available for a week it's pre-orders and now that's what worries me so they're going to sell all their pre-cells and then have nothing in stock other than their pre-cells it was the thing when Nintendo the two highest game the highest selling game consoles and all of gaming history are the 3DS and the Wii I think Nintendo is okay with what they're doing and they marketed this and they didn't market the Wii U no they didn't yeah I think that really hurt the Wii U a lot yeah but but the Wii U was just a stop gap they even said it was literally just a test it was a stop gap it was a necessary step they get to the square because all of the switches a combination of every Nintendo game console that it's been made pretty much they took elements from all of them so the Wii U was just stopped gap you know here hold you over shut up shut up I love that system the Wii U is still one of my favorites this time right here with you I really when Chad brought it over here that one day I was a big fan of it we we played it every other night we played last night last night Margarita night so it's it's a great console but anyways I think they're trying to market it the right way and everything like that and I I also feel like because you water died they're also trying to be financially responsible because they have shot their load where they made too many consoles and sell some of them hard to wait and the Wii the Wii U was part of it where they're like oh we just we we overhauled it and we didn't see that coming and nobody understood what it was when they marketed it because they didn't market it well and this is why they're like we're only gonna have this amount available but we have more made like the amount that they had made was last October and it was like astronomical like it was more than like the Xbox and playstation 4 but then it's only a third of it is available to purchase right now at launch date so excuse me so that's what they're trying to do is just see how it goes see how it is and with it being sold out everywhere right now on pre-order sales it'll be available in about in about a month after it does make me kind of sad though just knowing that Zelda Breath of the Wild is the last scheduled release for Nintendo on the Wii U that's it that's the final curtain call for Nintendo on the Wii U good game to go out on but it did the same thing with Twilight Princess that was the last game cue game before the Wii U shooting yeah anything else that we need to talk about in tech talk um uh uh i'm not supposed to complete talk about it but i mean it's already out but Nintendo Switch is getting a Pokemon Sun and moon third game that's gonna be on the console and i'm going to play I would expect nothing less and here for me that's it before we get a tech talk to plug it again what's coming up in March uh March 4th um Collinsville Illinois next to St.
Louis Missouri it's about 45 man drive it's um Pokemon regionals all be a part of the juniors division commentary team for the VGC tournament for the video game championships i'm not going to be a part of the trading guard tournament but you know you can meet me out there i'll sign your Pokemon cards or whatever you guys like doing before all right is it is it only going to be on twitch or is there going to be other platforms will be brought just on twitch because it's regionals it's you know it's you kind of have to dig into it if it's nationals or worlds they they expand a little bit do it on youtube live and all that and all that stuff but it will be on twitch twitch dot tv slash pokemon twitch dot tv slash nintendo just look for me and you'll see my handle and all sorts of good stuff and you'll see Justin Flynn wearing the world heavyweight haul while we're the WWE F attitude or belt and we'll have an undisputed match uh LVGC at five o'clock on Saturday so yeah and we'll make sure that we're plugging that each and every week leading up to it's because we always like to get we we always talk we're always about shameless self promotions so if we can do that we will and this is a pokemon community despite these guys we are a pokemon community i play pokemon rumbley pokemon shuffle very thank you very much but but this is a pokemon community because i only finish night in in worlds in 2013 for a reason all right streetlights on so let's get to the list we end every show with a list and i is no exception it is my turn with the list wait what's up you better watch it how did i know that was coming by the way 17 nine new England okay so i was thinking this week i've been having a lot of talks this past week more than normal with people about music and how music has evolved in it's purchasing state how you can really we used you said to buy a whole CD and it will be like two good songs on it but we now live in an era where if you want one song you can get one song indeed so i got me thinking of can i name my top 10 albums from my lifetime that i can still put on listen to all the way through not necessarily 10 CDs i take to an island but 10 albums that to this day i can put on listen to all the way through from track one to end of track last track and still greatness to me you have my attention number 10 is one you know of but haven't listened to enough of it is the self title album from christian musician rust half okay now did you listen to that whole album or is it just i still believe uh you'd have to give me some of the names of some of the tracks on there i'd have to read that don't have it right to me the best album he ever recorded rust half 4 million with the imperial is a very old school gospel group branched out on his note owned it a lot of great stuff uh i love this album it's again his version of i still believe from the lost voice soundtrack is phenomenal he is such a great voice number nine total four this is the album that has both rosanna and africa as well as uh i won't hold you back one of the very first albums i ever purchased with my own money on vinyl really i still have my copy to this day sitting over your left shoulder uh this to me was their best album i'm a huge total fan i love a lot of their stuff uh mickey i'm gonna say out of bounds um but it's one of those albums that takes me to a specific place in my in my childhood and i have such a special place for this album in my heart and it's just amazing straight through number eight we go to the year of our lord nineteen ninety two as dc talk releases their third album free at last this is far in a way the best album they ever recorded a lot of people were referenced jesus freak that is not dc talk to me this album is dc talk to me this was an album that where their their stuff stopped being cheesy because my best friend in florida riko when i we talk a lot because this is one of the groups that we really dig and those first two albums are tough to get through it's kind of like picking up bobby browns king of stage you're gonna pay for it and then you're gonna pay for it that's the way their first two albums were but they were popular because they're one of the very few christian hip hop acts at the time but with free at last they really kind of came into their own they do a really cool song where they they sample uh jesus is just all right from the dubie brothers and kind of put their own spin on it there's some really strong themes on this album that i'm a big fan of and this is also kind of where everything changed for them because jesus freak would come after this and things would go nuts out for them so that's the way they kind of matured you could say that artistically this is really matured number seven you see the t-shirt on wearing and i didn't do this on purpose i just realized i was wearing this t-shirt tonics first album lemon parade 1996 i believe was the year uh actually yes because last year was the 20th anniversary and the reason i have this t-shirt was they went back redid the entire album acoustic and it's at i'll obviously Mikey it's really really well done i actually you're on his wheelhouse now they had a what the music version of a go fund me and i pledged fifty dollars to help them complete this album so i got the t-shirt i got a signed copy of the cd and i got a digital download of the album dude it's real it's the entire album and it's it's got it's good a little parade inch here to we're both really good both but and even the the the the the self-taught about that take me as i am on it great but wasn't very music friendly i'm a huge fan of these boys always have been if they if they ever come to town again i'm there because they're just you know they're amazing and lemon parade is one of those rare albums from the mid nineties that beginning to end every track on that album is strong my actual favorite track on that album is mountain because it starts out real kind of mellow and then it just hits you clean the face about a minute in and it's really the lyrically they know how to write musically they rock your face off and this album did not get nearly the love it should have like had three singles you had uh if you could only see or no yeah if you could only see um open up your eyes and soldiers daughter was actually a single but didn't do as well as I thought it would um the title track is a heartbreaking song but it's beautifully written number six another one of my favorite albums from the nineties gin blossoms new miserable experience their first album it's a little dated when you listen to it but it's still amazing as an album uh this was the album that gave us hate jealousy this was the album that gave us found out about you uh there were three or four singles off this album uh they also did a country song at the end of this album and the the chorus basically says you can't call it cheating because she reminds me of you somehow i don't think that would hold up in court but okay great it's it's it's a lot of fun the guy that wrote most of this album was the one that uh removed himself from this moral coil shortly after it's released so when you go and you listen to congratulations i'm sorry there is a drastic difference in the song writing qualities because it's none of it was this guy number five i think another one of my key favorites if i'm not mistaken counting crows Augustin everything after really you didn't like this album no i'm out of the there they're their first album huge fan and i like this album because every song is so different from the rest of the album it's not necessarily a different genre but the songwriting styles are different whether it's perfect blue buildings and it begins Mr. Jones murder of one round here there's a reason that i'm out of a counting crows fan which is like to hear that reason you know it tonight one of our themes has been secret origins of Mikey so let's do it i was a graduate assistant at Sam Houston State and they rolled through town to have a concert they're on campus and this is much many years later yeah it was my responsibility to take care of the band to get what they needed prior to the concerts they had a you were there liaison yeah i had to get some of the things that they had on their lit their requirement list their writer certain certain liquors certain foods and the guy was just a big d i've heard that and i've heard that i mean you see when he was had dreads back in the day that's all i'm gonna say a little patchouly going on there yeah i've heard that about adamdoritz but i just i i can separate myself because that album is just so good i've never been a fan of that band number four probably got another guy that maybe has a little patchouly stink to him Chris Robinson and the boys of the black crows shake your money maker that first album was strong in 1990 even the follow-up southern harming a musical companion also a very good album that kind of fell off after that for me but this first album is to me is a more complete album than southern harming a musical companion was uh this is the one that has hard to handle and she talks to angels and jealous again and twice as hard and other things you know uh uh you're welcome internet you went there uh number three we go to your wheelhouse sir and i know you're gonna argue me into the ground because you and i have this discussion quite often yep but my favorite prince album is diamonds and pearls i love this album 1991 big booty girl oh no they really weren't i'm in a pearl weren't i'm sad but from from the opening track thunder all the way through live through love i know you hate Tony M and you have every right to because do the logic is sound i can separate it i love this album i can roll with you until we got to juggated and then shhh yeah i like the way juggated ends check it's funny to me um i live i live i live listen to live for love on a lightweight juggated it would take me a day and a half to listen to it four times but the live version is amazing money don't matter tonight one of my favorite albums but didn't despite direct that video yes there were two versions of it but insatiable come on oh i'm at it i can't argue with there are ladies right now listening to this show and i mentioned the name insatiable they're pregnant right now that's what that song is yes the title track was in your first wedding set yes it was uh stroin is a fun song to be for sure it just comes off as a throwaway track it's just it's kind of one of the thing the high point of it is the guitar um but get off we get off we get off the first single right get off was released on his birthday of that year and the album followed in October so it had a heck of a lead time which and he would even do the VMAs before that album huh he did the VMAs and he did an appearance on the Arsenio Hall show that same weekend that was one of his best television appearances ever you haven't you videotaped and you haven't someone yeah i've got i've got it on several formats actually uh number two also from that era James Taylor new moonshine i figured there was gonna be a Taylor appearance on that was the album that made me appreciate James Taylor he has this cover of Sam Cook's everyone everybody loves the cha cha cha on that album which i'm absolutely adore there's a song called like everyone she knows that destroys me every time i hear it um and when the king actually covered one of the songs on that album called like got the stop thinking about that uh which has one of the greatest former lover songs i've ever heard written where he says i wonder who'll be loving you next some fool will be writing bad checks i love a good somebody somebody done me wrong song he also has a really good cover of the water is wide on that album which is amazing again this was the album that made me a James Taylor fan that made me go back and listen to the stuff in the seventies number one from my favorite Christian music band of all time white heart nineteen eighty nine the freedom album what they did not know is after they would release the album the world would change because within six months of the albums released the Berlin wall would come down and communism would fall and so everything was timed perfectly the best album they ever recorded one of the best concerts i've ever been to was on that tour i've still got the i have a shirt archive in the toy box that sits in the closet here in the studio my tour shirt is in there it's a nineteen ninety the year freedom um this would also be the last album that Tommy Sims would play bass with them on and he had already left the band by the time the tour came to our town so i never and Tommy Sims is one of my favorite bass players in the history of ever and so i never got to see Tommy Sims live but the guy that that replaced him are a lawyer i'm also a big fan of play with Jeff Moore in the distance play with Steven Curtis Chapman as well uh this album no matter if it comes on the iPod number one it's a stop down number two nobody bothered me for the next four to five minutes because i'm not i'm not going to take my earphones off to listen to you because i'm listening to something from his album the i remember when i heard this this album the first time back in the day you go your Christian bookstore and they'd have a bunch of demo cassettes that you could just put into a little awakman and you could sample it before you bought it uh reco and i were already fans from their previous uh two albums and the way by by Babylon starts it just grabs you by the throat says this is your life for the next forty five minutes and i remember hearing the end of by by Babylon and taking off the headphones and rewinding the tape and looking at reco and going you have to listen to this and he looks at me it's like i have to i'm like you have to and i put the headphones on him and he got through by by Babylon and was just like what just happened here i'm like this is a purchase today uh is it is one of my favorite albums of all time it captures a time in my life that was very crucial to who i am today uh by a group of guys that i'm a huge huge huge huge fan of uh anything that you guys they've just come to mind for you guys oh yeah oh yeah y'all go ahead i'll go last well uh there's a couple about prints alone the gold experience purple rain i like both of the gold experience i can't say i kill us to all through purple rain to me i didn't put purple rain on my list because that's a that's a given well because to me that's where it all started that's it again it has to go on but that's just one of those albums that's just a given period um and uh other than prints i would have to say Michael's dangerous dangerous was such an amazing album that i think a lot of people overlook yeah Michael uh George Michael's faith may he rest in peace and depression modes violator oh nice violator was yeah that was the violator is the the the depression mode album now there are people that i know that you know that are like much deeper depression mode fans and most people but and they would probably argue this into the ground but that is the album oh yeah period end of statement it was there i know that they would did a lot of people would say that music for the masses began their crossover someone's even early on that with people or people but violator is where they truly crossed over because they were going a little bit more guitar heavy on things i remember the first time i heard personal jesus no enjoy the silent oh god and i was like that that song will change your religion yeah that that that that that that album just gave me goosebumps from from start to finish yeah i don't think i have 10 i think i only have four or five that's how i go him yeah no i have a rancid indestructible i have Metallica's master of puppets master of puppets as you see the new book that's out about that no they released a new coffee table book that's about the making and touring of that album because that was Cliff Burton's last album it's i when i get a little bit of money that's actually what i'm buying barbed wire for a belated burger yeah i'm i had to look at that one uh you know uh nauseous ill magic oh brother you ain't lying and then my favorite band of all time and the first the first album they came out with but block parties silent alarm wow go ahead get into the crate very nice that is the best the best hands down album start to finish for me personally and i can i have a damn my iPod in my car i was listening to one of the songs on the way here that that album does not get old i could be 13 years old and i could be my age now i could be 25 or 26 years old and it's still the best of my ever heard that defines great music for me is at least me no and it's every time block party is still my band wow nicely done best album ever mighty i'm gonna couple um getting back to prince there's two prince albums that i can listen to i guess want to start to finish yeah go ahead the one on the right no it's one on the side of the times uh yeah i should have yeah that's another one of mine too i know my boy i know he's a huge fan of that of that sometimes in gold or or two of the albums that i i have on repeat a lot for me gold had a couple of points roe just kind of like a like what i'm just i'm not a fan of another level holding head that's off of parades i thought that was on no that's parade that's off of the out of the sharing mood sounds okay i'm not Billy jack b is one of the songs i heard from that album uh incubus both of oh i figured that was coming there first two albums were strong yeah STD anything by STD there's a couple of stone tip of politics core or purple are you a like purple and i like for those of the two that i i listen to quite a bit after that they started to fall off they kind of did there one song of theirs i could listen to on a loop is interstate love song yeah i love i don't know how the how we got to this segue but but think of it all those band right there i don't know how it because it doesn't relate but the clash lending calling look at this column is constantly one of those currently constant people list i'm a big fan of the clash i love the clash i love that album that is good i think there may be one track i don't like but just one or maybe two but that's a good one i don't know how STP maybe things that mic anything else those are the one
