This voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse Podcast Live every Sunday, 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific. We're happy if you're listening live. We're happy if you're listening on our archive.
We are also happy if you subscribe on your favorite podcast app to the show. Welcome. My name is Rob, and if you do the math over the next 21 days, you will be getting 5 editions of this show.
We're going to talk about it here in a minute. But I am not alone, Chad, still out on assignments, we're hoping to have him back very very soon. I'm pretty sure we will have him back very very soon, especially with what we're going to talk about here in a minute.
Joining me in the gop, the co-host chair tonight, a man that I honestly cannot remember the last time he was in this studio much less on this show, because his schedule used to suck his bat as mine used to suck. But now he's kind of on the same schedule as me. He is one of my dearest friends in this world, and very very soon he gets to change his status on Facebook.
You may know him as barbed wire. He has returned. Welcome back, sir.
How are you doing? Man, it is a good day. It has been, I believe, the last time I was on was episode 316.
You've been, you haven't been, at least to a paper for you since then? No. Wow.
That's four, almost four and a half years, dude. This is middle of season 7. Wow.
Oh, it was number, not season 316, episode 316, but that's still all, that's still over a year. Yeah. Wow.
Yeah. Good mercy. Well, then you were overdue.
Yeah. We might have someone else joining us here in a little while, I don't know. We've been, we've been booking on the fly a lot lately, it's like late 90s WCW on this show.
Yes. Latelys. We start every show with corrections or updates.
We have a few from last week. I was misinformed on the return date for Preacher. It returns in June, not July, so get caught up on season 1.
The national video game news museum is actually north and east of the star, not south and east. I got, I get a little confused up in that section of town. And the Star Wars land is opening in 2019, not 2018.
I saw a promo the other day for. That's the other reason I figured that one out. All right, we start every show during this time of year with NASCAR talk.
And if there's one guy that I'm going to have NASCAR talk with, that can actually help me make sense as some of this, he is in the studio. We were at phonics this week. That is correct.
Oh, for the camping world 500, qualifying completely threw me off when I saw that on the guide. I was thinking trucks because there's the camping world series for the, it is. That's a fair point.
Yeah, there's a lot of things about NASCAR that are confusing right now. You're top 10 finishers today, but I, we were talking about this last week. I do like how they, they have something called the Delta, which shows you how far they are behind the person in front of them, yeah, which I think is kind of cool.
They also have their best speed and their best time on the, on the website. Still confusing this year. You're top 10 finishers in the number 11 Toyota, the man did you get it.
He's a dente at a, at the denies with a side of them. Denny ham one can get him with a side of Supreme Council six times, or no I see seven times seven, seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven, time six times seven times seven times seven time seven time amigos sprint Cup chain or now and they're even the sprint cup as the monster industry. stopping after the car.
He's just a champ at most. Jimmy Johnson, defending grading. In the number 48 Chevrolet comes in 9th Eric Jones.
You see, from Houston? Eric Jones? No, not him.
In the 77 Toyota, he comes in 8th. There's a lot of names in here that I've never heard before, especially on this particular circuit, Daniel Suarez. It was not a song by Gerardo.
And I never mind. In the number 19 Toyota comes in 7th. In 6th number 44 to Kevin Harvick, Brad Kezalowski in 5th of the number 2 Ford, a name that we don't say very often on this show comes in 4th today in the number 17 Ford, Ricky Stenhaus Jr.
Yeah. What's the last time we said his name on this show? We've said it before.
I know we have, because I know that name in the bronze medal in the number 18 Toyota, Kyle Bush, obviously, no suspension involved after last week, no penalties, little, maybe I think it was because it was the week of 316 that they just weren't doing well. Speaking of, at the beginning of the pre-race show, they showed the whole fight, everything. JR was announcing.
Nice. As it should be, right? Let me just say about that fight.
If we're going to have two teams fight, we need them in different color suits because how do you know you're even punching the right guy? Probably one guy like kicked another guy and ran away, it's like, come on. Russ is in the chat room, good to see you, sir.
He says it will always be the Winston Cup to him. Of course, because that's what it's always been. In the silver medal in the number 42 Chevrolet, Kyle Larson, and winning the race by 31 hundreds of a second in the number 31 Chevrolet, Ryan, Newman.
His best speed was 130.8 miles an hour, his best lap time, 27.5 seconds, it's pretty great. Well, yeah, I was actually, what's that track, at least a half a mile around? No, it's one mile, so it's a mile, so, you know, it's not bad.
All right, so, I'm to the point that we may not, points aren't updated, are the points always a week behind? Is that the problem that we're having? I don't know.
I don't keep up with them through that throughout the week. Because yeah, because right now they're saying it's updated to the last week's race, to the cobalt 400, which is Las Vegas Motor Speedway, so that would have been last week. Because they've got mathematicians meticulously doing, I don't think they do because if they had mathematicians working on this, it might make sense.
Like, I feel like I'm not a fan of the scoring system now. So are we now top 12 get into the chase? Or are we still top 16?
Top 16, I believe. Okay, so let's go on the bubble right now, within, let's just call it within 15 points of the 16 slot right now. You've got, you've got kind of a log gym, because 16th right now is 7 times Spring Cup Champion Jimmy Johnson, not that Jimmy Johnson.
So within 15 points of him, you've got four other guys. Well, actually five, if you want to go within 20 points of him, Eric Almerola's three points behind him. Eric Jones is eight points behind him.
Paul Manard, yes, that family is four behind him, and six behind them tied or Matt Kenseth and Daniel Swarez. So you've got a log gym right now, but, and it usually is at the beginning of the season, there are huge swings in the position, especially with, with all the bonus points. I tried to use my phone to figure it out, and the lady inside my phone was like, don't even try, don't even ask me because I can't do it.
In 15th right now, Clint Boyer is four points ahead of Jimmy Johnson. He is tied with Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. There are all three points behind Trevor, Bain Trevor, Bain is only back on Ryan Hiddly, Newman by one point.
Let's see, Newman is four behind Casey Kane, Casey Kane is tied with Kurt Busch, who are both 14 points back on Jamie McMurrey, McMurrey Furblack, four back on Kevin Harvick, is four back on Ryan, they call him this stone, Bainy. Bainy is eight points back on Joey Langgano. Leggano is 18 back on Martin True X Junior.
Martin True X Junior is 18 back on Chase Elliott. Elliott is seven back on Brad keselowski, and keselowski is six back on Kyle Larson. And then there's playoff points, but I just don't have time.
And to make it even more confusing, is all the drivers that have had that have won a race, they can tank for the next 20 weeks, as long as they stay in the top 35, they're still in the chase. Which means they can play for the Philadelphia 76ers or the Wakers, which is kind of nice. Very confused by all this.
Okay, so next week, we're not going to be on air on Sunday. We're going to talk about why here just a minute. But next Sunday, we're going to be at the Auto Club Speedway, which is where California.
California. California is a two mile track for the Auto Club 400. Oddly enough at the Auto Club Speedway, so that kind of works out.
And then after that, we have the STP, not the band, the oil additive, the STP 500 at Martin'sville, and then the week after that, will be the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 here in Texas at TMS, and then of course, the week after that is Easter, so they won't be racing. After that, the 23rd will be the Food City 500 at Bristol. You're saying, Rob, we're talking about a lot of races coming up.
Usually only do one. Stay with me. Okay.
Let's talk some TV talk while we're at it. So it's a really interesting story today. Netflix is going to be testing out on certain series of theirs, a skip intro feature.
Where if you don't like the two-minute opening credits scene, when they're going to pull that out of there, so you're going to go straight into the show? Yeah. It doesn't bother me all that much.
We do that on that 70 show. We got the whole season on DVD, and if you just skip once, it passes all the singing intro. I just, I don't know.
I don't know. I got that big of a deal to me. Well, if you're band-watching, the intro kind of gets, be eating.
Oh my god. Daredevil. I just think that intro is so cool.
I could watch it over and over and over again. And yes, I am still stuck in the middle of Jessica Jones. There, there, I might have some time off coming up.
So if I do, because I'm caught up in all my shows, really, I have been, I have been diligent because, and let me tell you why. They, in December, they opened a gym at my office building. So about a month ago or so, ish.
I mean, I was the first person in the door that they've opened the gym. I've been working out at least three times a week, sometimes four, sometimes five. Well, about a month or two ago, I found out they had a pretty good Wi-Fi.
Let's struggle with first, but I think they got it under control. So now I have a system. I go to the gym, I go to the gym in the morning.
So my alarm goes off in 430. Get up on the road by five. Jim opens a 530.
Our, my treadmill has this little touch screen thing. We're, so I can pull up and watch TV on the treadmill. So I pull up channel 11, so I can watch my, I don't put the audio one, but I just pull up channel 11 on the treadmill, so I can get my daily headlines.
And then I, whatever show I didn't get to watch the night before, I queue up on my phone, because I used the Wi-Fi, I don't use my data. So I use my phone, stay with me. This is almost as complicated as the NASCAR point system.
But I use my phone to cover up the clock from channel 11, so I can't see how long I've been on the treadmill. And I have a little button that clears the countdown clock. And I watch my shows on my phone, which is helping me keep up.
Cool. It's, again, it's complicated. And TV's gonna be kind of a big theme tonight.
But it works for you. Yes, it's, it's my, it's, it's my system. I don't even know.
I, I feel like I'm, I'm a borderline info marshaling right now. But it's working, because I'm caught up now. I got a little bit of lax this week, especially with wrestling.
And I had to burn through raw and smack down in the last 18 hours. But we got it done and we're caught up. So we're good.
I don't know if you heard this story about SNL. No, for the last four episodes of the season, starting with Jimmy Fallon on April 15th, Chris Pine on May 6th, Melissa McCarthy is hosting on May 13th. We all know it's gonna start that show.
And the season finale on May 20th will be Dwayne Johnson. We're not sure if he's promoting fast, faded the furious or Baywatch. I can't remember how the release dates are working on on those.
Uh, faded the faster, friendly fate F8. Yeah, is the, is that right on the same time? It's April 17.
Okay, so it'll already have been out so he'll be probably pushing Baywatch at that point. Russ says they just don't make TV things like they used to. I agree.
Yeah, we're going to talk and that's going to come up as we talk about POI, but it's going to be live in every time zone. Wow. So the last four episodes of the season, if you're on the west coast, SNL will start at eight thirty.
Wow, prime time. So there, I think this is kind of neat because you're you're not worrying about the take delay. And everything's on time for the entire country.
Just now for us, it doesn't affect us in the central time zone because we watch it live at ten thirty. Yeah. So yeah.
And there's one more episode coming up April 8th. I can't remember who the host was and I couldn't find it when I was rushing through trying to find everything. Speaking of SNL, in August, there's going to be a four episode half hour series that's just a weekend update.
With Colin Jost and Michael Chay. So we can update the wheels have been kind of limping a little bit. They've been wobbling a little bit.
But this has been this season has been one of the best they've done in a while. Over as a whole, there's been some stumble. They've had plenty of content.
And this task is solid. They're occurring cast is solid. I mean, I miss guys like Jay Farrow.
But you've got to I mean, Kate McKinnon is running things right now. I mean, she's just amazing. Leslie Jones has really up to her gain.
A big fan of 80 Bryant. Sessley. Sessley strong.
How are you doing? Beck Bennett. I mean, as long as there's a Putin, this guy's got a job.
I mean, it's been a really, really good cast this year. And I've really been impressed with what the show this year. Also NBC News, they have renewed shades of blue for season three.
Never watched an episode. Never even heard of it. It's that JLo thing.
Okay, you put her on anything. I'm pretty much out with this one. Yep.
I've always been that way. And now that she's dead, even erod double out. Yeah, even with movies.
She's in it. No, I ain't watching it. I'm less, I mean, if I'm going for one of our vendors, I'll go.
But not by choice. Not when she's not when money's involved. I'll just put it that way.
And I like the Ray Leona. She's in it. Sorry, brother.
Obviously, might not watching the show not hurting it because they just got renewed. And TV has said for season three of screen the series, they're going to reboot. So, I mean, I think they're going to reboot the series or reboot the movie.
I don't know. But again, never watched an episode. So, FX has renewed Legion for season two.
We'll talk about Legion later. Put a pin in that. Okay.
Sci-Fi has renewed the expense for season three, which I have heard very, very good things about. I've heard this show is really, really good. And they have renewed 12 monkeys for season four, which will be the final season.
Season three, though, is going to air entirely over three days. Wow, between May 19th and May 21st, they're showing the entire season three of 12 monkeys. So it's just going to be round the clock 24.
Well, I think it's doing like they're doing like four, four and three to like 11 episodes. So, but they'll be done in blocks. For fans of Azizan, sorry, master of none returns the Netflix on May 12th.
I've heard good things about the show. He's funny. My one of my favorite stories he tells me tells the story about how it's cousin gotten a Twitter beef with Snoop Dogg.
It is one of the funniest things. Ballers season three has a premier date, July 23rd. So, Dwayne kind of in hanging back a little bit.
He's back in full force. So, Alec Baldwin is going to get roasted on a spike TV special, so I just spiked TV picking up the mantle of the roast. I think they have.
And it wasn't, no, that was common. It's common essentially. But you know, it's Viacom either way.
So, and let's just say next week, you'll get my thoughts on his new film. That I screened yesterday. So, Ryan Murphy, this is the guy that pretty much owns FX right now.
He's the guy that created American Horror Story. He's a guy that created American Crime Story. He's the guy that's done a few.
He's now doing another series for them called Pose. It's going to take place in mid 80s New York City. Nice.
So, Lord, we know. If I see you're going to do a cameo, don't be greatness. But it's, I want to say it takes place in the world of fashion.
Because that tends to be closed, but they, they're not talking too much about it. TV on DVD and blue right this week, insecure season one. This is an HBO show that I've heard good things about.
Master of none. We just talked about season two. And to Netflix starting to release their shows on DVD and blue right, I'm kind of interested in how those sales are.
Because I'll pay 10 bucks a month and I can watch whatever I want or I'm going to pay 30. I don't know. It's kind of weird dynamic.
But Master of none season one this week, season three of Batman, the brave and the bold. I enjoyed that show. It was a little tongue in cheek.
It got a little cheesy from time to time. I always thought Dietrich Bader was a good voice for an animated Batman. He's no Kevin Conroy, but different kind of a flavor.
With them releasing him on DVD that helps people like me. And because I have no internet. Oh, okay.
I thought you guys got that up and run it. No, it's not available where I live. Okay, but the last episode of that show is really, really cool.
I'm a big fan of the final episode of that show. The complete collection of the television version of the untouchables available this week and WWE 24 WrestleMania Monday. I don't know if you.
Oh, so you can even get the network right now. Can you? Just streaming on my phone.
Oh, okay. If you haven't watched that, watch that one. It's about to lead up to last year's WrestleMania.
Okay. It's really, really well done. I was really, really impressed by that.
All right. You are listening to the clubhouse podcast. We are live every Sunday night, 70 certain four Pacific.
Got a big announcement coming up in just a few minutes. So stick around for that. If you haven't figured it out yet, you can check out our website, www.theclubhousepodcast.com.
Find out everything that's going on. We've got some new written reviews up this week. We have for you Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
And let me tell you something. If you haven't looked at box office numbers yet, I believe it. Just hold on because it's coming.
Oh, boy. So some of the things that we've been writing lately. We've got some more stuff coming up for you this week.
Make sure you're following us on social media. So you're getting everything we're talking about. Our Twitter handle is at clubhouse show.
Everything else is the clubhouse podcast. All three words in that order. Are you going to wind up somewhere else?
You can follow me on social media. Pretty much everything is at yes. That Rob Irvin that is built ERV.
I and I think my post from yesterday is one of the greatest posts I've had in a long time. I posted something from Buzzfeed that I almost fell on the ground laughing at. By normal pillows for this show is Chad Warwick.
You can follow him pretty much anywhere at Chad N.P. G. 69.
I'm at Barbar 74. We got right in row 72 in the chat room. The official fact checker of this show is Don Ford.
You can follow him pretty much on any social media. You can also email him for information on how we can come to a live show which we will be doing this coming Saturday. We talked about this last week.
We're going to talk about it at Nazium tonight because I could not be more excited about this. This Saturday first go Texas were coming to you. We're going to be live on the air from the Texas pinball festival.
If you have never had a chance to attend this and you live in North Texas do yourself a solid. This is going to be located at the Frisco Convention Center, which is right next to Dr. Pepper ballpark where the rough writers play connected to the embassy sweet type.
40 bucks will get you in on Saturday. Now you're saying it's a flop 40 bucks. Trust me on this.
You will make that money back. This is actually kind of a bargain because once you get in. It is the entire Frisco Convention Center.
It is not a section of the Frisco Convention Center. It's not a room. I mean this thing if I were to equate it.
I mean it's a full blown probably three or four ballrooms connected together. It will be filled with pinball games from the 30s until today video games will be in this room. There's food trucks that were out there last year.
I'm sure they're going to be back this year. There's a swap meat if you just want parts for things. They're going to have vendors out there.
One of my favorite vendors VR cabs. I've no doubt is going to be there. These guys are amazing.
These guys will custom build you a pinball machine case that they put flat screens in and a PC inside it. So you can have like 80 pinball games that you can just cycle through and they're dead on. Like you will be able to see actual pinball games that you can compare their video version to the actual machine that will be there.
So I could get the Metallica pinball machine for a fraction of the cost. If it's available. Yes.
I don't know if it's a fraction of the cost because I mean these things they're a little steep but totally worth it. But there's last year they unveiled. Two years ago when I went they unveiled both of the rest of the WrestleMania tables, which was both legends and the WrestleMania itself.
I'm amazing. Last year they unveiled the Game of Thrones pinball. The amazing Spider-Man pinball and the Ghostbusters pinball.
So I've got a feeling. I can't base this on anything but there's a brand new Jetson's table that I've seen ads for on Facebook. I'm hoping they have it because I will play it and everything's on free play.
Once you get in you don't need any cash. You can play whatever you want. Everybody's real respectful to each other.
You play and you move on. Sometimes you can team up with other people and play two or four player games and I'm telling you you're going to find pinball and video games that you're like I don't even remember that until just now when I saw that. I mean last year they had a Mortal Kombat.
Somebody had taken Mortal Kombat X and turned it into a cabinet game that came with headphones that were Dolby surrounded them. This thing it is one of them that they have tournaments every year so you can sit back and watch people play. It's one of the coolest things I've ever been to.
I would be going even if I wasn't going to be doing the show there. This is my third year in a row attending this thing. It is and you can you once you pay to get in you get a wristband so you can come and go all you want that day.
Oh, that's cool. So if you want to go because right where it is is like right in the middle of everything. Stonebriders right there is a ton of restaurants like it's a last year they had food trucks.
So you may not even have to leave the grounds to eat. Right and it is amazing. Elvira Mr.
So the dark is going to be there. Sam Jones who played flash Gordon he's going to be there. There are rumors.
I have heard rumors fairly substantial rumors, but rumors nonetheless that somebody is going to be there and I don't want to jinx it. But if we can get this person on the show I'll tell you off air. If we can get this person on the show, you will probably see me lose my cool.
Not in the level if it was Steve is not Steve Borden. Let's just put it out there. It's not staying.
If that had happened just shut down the show because I'm useless at that point. But this would be a pretty big get and I think there's a greater than zero chance that it can happen. Is it on the level of John Landis?
No, no, no, no, no. And this person would say I'm not on that level. But it would be still be a pretty big get and I would be excited.
And when I tell a bar buyer this off air, he'll understand because he's known me for many, many, many, many, many years. He'll understand why this would be a pretty cool thing to have. So I'm going to be reaching out probably tomorrow or Tuesday to see if I can make this happen.
So if you can't join us at the Texas pinball festival on Saturday, we will be live next week's show. So next week's show will be on Saturday from 2 to 4. And it's going to be one of the coolest things we've ever done on this show.
We're it's such a big deal. We're going to be doing the show from the hallway because it's loud in there. Oh, I'm sure.
I mean, that's how that's how crazy this is going to be. I'll give me one second here. There are a lot of pinball machines that I can remember growing up.
And I'd like to see again. And I guarantee you you've got a better than zero chance of it actually being there. Do you remember the Conan pinball machine?
They had it last year, like double the width with a ski ball ball instead of a steel ball. Yeah, I mean, I played, I played some of the stuff last year that I was just like, oh my god. And these, these tables are pristine.
Really? They had a guy last year that was building a table during the show that was a spinal tap electronic table. Was it black?
Yes. It is some of the stuff there. It's amazing.
And they like to have all of the old school video games. It's come join us. Here's the deal.
I'm going to be there all day. I am getting up crack it on on Saturday, loading the gear in the car. And I'm headed to Frisco.
I will be there when the doors open. And I will probably be there at 11 o'clock at night when they shut the doors. They're going to have to kick you out.
They're going to have to. At Friday night, they're open to open the morning. Really?
Saturday. I believe 11 and then Sunday, it's like nine to two thirty, I believe. Let me get you the official numbers on that.
I mean, because I'm telling you, I can't talk about this enough. When we actually got the green light to do this, I was over the moon. I hung up that phone.
And luckily, I was sitting in traffic. All right. I would have run my car into something.
And I want to say the quick shout out to one of my co-workers, Sean Dan. It's he's the one that kind of orchestrated this for me. Not realizing what a fan I am.
Right. It's going to be Fridays from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Saturday from 10 a.m. to midnight. And then Sunday, 9 a.m.
to 2.30 p.m. Here's your crisis. If you want to go to just Friday, it's 30 bucks.
Just Saturday, it's 40. Just Sunday, it's 25. The whole weekend for 65.
Wow. Also, we had their special kids prices. 15 for Friday, 25 for Saturday, 10 for Sunday, weekend for 40 for the kids.
So this is a family friendly thing. I'm telling you, I cannot say enough about this thing. Yeah.
I could sit here. We could do an entire podcast just about how excited I am about this. Because this is what we talked about this last week.
They're sewing t-shirts. And you know, the come and get it with the cannon. And it's still there.
They have one that says come and flip. It's got a flipper and a pinball. I may buy that.
That may be a purchase. I don't know. But come join us.
This Saturday. If you're coming out, let us know. We may have a meet up and then hang out.
And we'll go play some pinball together. And then we'll do the show. And you guys can hang out.
I mean, again, it's a whole day for 40 bucks. And I guarantee you, it will pay itself off. 60.
Well, 40 just for Saturday. 65 for the whole week. If you want to do the whole weekend, 65 bucks.
I mean, I just don't know that I can make it up there for Friday night. Yeah. Because Saturday is going to be.
I'm going to be there all day. Yeah. So let us know if you're coming out.
We'd love to see you. And that's just one thing that's coming up. And we haven't even gotten to the other thing.
And that's coming here in just a minute. Because we need to get into POI. POI, to do, do, do, do, do.
I'm responding to something here. To do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do. OK.
Good. POI. We're going to talk about kind of ties in what we talked about in the net flex.
and it's in the TV block. It's, we talked about, it was Netflix doing the skip intro thing. I was having a conversation with someone, this last night I was having this conversation.
It was last night of this morning. And we were talking about one of my favorite new shows, my guilty pleasure show right now. And my guilty pleasure show right now is Riverdale.
Thursday nights on the CW, it's, it's the Archie gang, but it's got like a Twin Peaks vibe to it. It is. Remember when you, when you first started talking about it.
Dude, it is so much better than it has to be. And I can't stop watching it. So I was talking to someone I was like, dude, get caught up.
You know, I think episode six is next week. I think they're off this, they were off last week. They're off this week and they come back next week.
Cause they don't want to compete with the tournament. And this person I was talking to was like, well, you know, they haven't done the, oh, say it lunch is a matter of fact. I was talking to a friend of the show, John Contherin, and one of his daughters.
And she was like, I rather just watch it all one time. I'm like, are you kidding me? And she's not on the way to week.
And so I want to talk about binging TV shows because to me, it's a double-edged sword. Cause just this past Friday, Iron Fist dropped on Netflix to very, very mixed reviews. And I mean, very mixed reviews.
I've talked to people that have said, this is nothing but a televised turd. And I've talked to people that are like, you know what? I'm kind of digging it.
And Iron Fist, I'm a huge fan of the character. So again, I'm still stuck in the middle of Jessica Jones. So it's good to be a minute.
But I don't know if releasing an entire season at one time. First of all, it's not a season. Right.
You should do what they do in England. It's a series. Right.
Series one. There you go. Yep.
I get that you get the instant edification, but I also kind of like the fact that, oh man, I don't know the way the other week, so you're watching the episode. Yeah. Cause for people that, it's no, well, document on this show, the huge game of throwing a fan.
Love game of throwing. But I've talked to people that are like, no, I just have to wait to the seasons of where I can watch it all together. I'm like, no, but that.
That spacing between the episodes is so like, it builds it up and you're, you know, we always have game with our own talk on Monday at work. Like, okay, here's my theories. Yep.
But it's not. I wish I, I'm glad I don't get to watch it all one time because I like that plus you can plan things. Like, what are you doing on Wednesday night?
Well, we watched this show. Exactly. I have shows every night.
Yeah. I don't have no more Friday anymore. Just go ahead.
Well, right now we've only got two nights. We were watching, did you see the series, the season six on the history channel? No, I did not.
If we're good things about it, man. I thought people talk well really well about it. It was cool.
I will tell you what, probably my favorite new show with the season was taboo. And yeah, taboo was dope. I've got it all on DVR.
Haven't watched an episode. Dude, all I'm telling you, I'm telling you because you have all eight parts on your DVR. Yeah.
Don't just say, I'm going to sit down and watch the first one because you're going to watch the whole thing. Taboo is one of those shows that you fire up and you go, I have no idea what's going on here, but I cannot stop watching. Because every, I mean, it's a full hour show.
Yeah. Well, so with commercials, it's an hour 15 and hour 20. But you get an hour of programming.
And it's Tom Hardy. Yeah. And it's Jonathan Price.
You know, say, and that's why I wanted to see it. It's, it's some of the most gangster stuff I've seen in a long time. Especially when you get to that last episode and his entire plan on ferals.
You're just like, oh my God. And it's like I said why I posted my watch the first episode. They helped put the F and FX.
I'm just telling you now. Yeah. Be prepared.
And that has been, I've noticed that the cable channels have been less, especially FX. Yeah. FX has been pushing.
I mean, they've pushed the limit since the shield for me. But my other thing is like, did you watch the American Crown Story People versus OJ Simpson? Yes.
When the mother F bond dropped, I was like, what, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah. Like it literally freaked me out because it's commercial TV. They're not supposed to say that.
See that coming. Now, I still think OJ made an America was a much better series. The documentary shows is amazing if you haven't seen it.
But I just don't know that I'm okay with binge watching things. Because first of all, I can't. What I've realized is I'm good for one episode of a show at a time.
So what I have to do, like with Jessica Jones, I'll watch an episode and then I'll go watch something else and then I'll watch an episode of Jessica Jones because my attention spans getting shorter. And you've already made me sit through 56 minutes. I need a palette cleanser.
And so now that I'm getting caught up on my DVR because I got movies and stuff I'm watching, I can now go back to that, but I still have to have a palette cleanser of some form. Even if it's like a half an hour or something on boomerang. Right.
I need to reset my brain. Yeah. And I blame JJ Abrams for this.
I really do. Because his shows get so cerebral that I can't. And again, I get kind of squirrely.
I can't do like 13 episodes of a show in a row. No. No matter how good it is, I can't do it.
By the way, guess what comes back tonight? Into the Badlands. No, I know five essential tonight on AMC.
Did you ever watch this in one of that? No. Six episodes do get caught up.
Really? It's a post-apocalyptic feudal kung fu series. Oh.
And it works. Dude, I can't even explain it to you. Oh, again, that would be an entire podcast.
It's one of those shows that you're like, I need to find the comic source material. There isn't. It was a creative last year as a six episode thing to just kind of bridge between walking dead and fear when fear the walking dead started.
And the ratings went through the roof. It's awesome. And it comes back tonight.
And I've got like, there's like a whole circle of us that are like, we're talking about this tomorrow. I was flipping through the channels the other night and just it was on. I keep seeing it on the guide and I'm like, okay, I'm going to see what this is about.
And now I've got to watch all of it. That's that. Billions.
You know, Don, Don, Don, Don's, it stoles that show. I've never watched it. But for good things.
Right. Now they're showing season two. I want to jump into the middle.
I want to see season one. And I don't have internet. So I can't get it on demand.
Oh, yeah. And that's why I watch it on my phone. I'm on demand is its own POI.
But we can kind of tie that in here. My problem with on demand is it's not, it's not always on demand. Right.
Sometimes you're only, you'll get sporadic episodes. Well, sometimes you'll only get like the last two or three episodes. Another thing with on demand, which I'm sure I know it's different POI.
But we can kind of go buy it with you, verse. This says, you can get all this on demand. Well, I want to see this.
No, that's not on demand or up already paid for or you just have to get it from like iTunes or something. Yeah. You know, I just, I can't binge watch.
I can't do it. I know people that can do like my wife got this fast and loud. She's at like 15 episodes back up right now.
And one of these days, she'll decide it's time and then she'll knock it out the day. That's our Monday night. I can't, I just can't binge watch stuff.
And part of it's my OCD, if I see multiple episodes of anything on my DVR freaks me out, yeah, especially when it says, six new, because it's kind of like, when I start watching raw, I'm like, I'm committed to this for the next two hours of my life. Did they cut it to two? No, it's still three, but I don't take the cameras.
Oh, sorry. It's still a solid two. Yeah.
You know, and it wears miss something. Where's the out? I can't do it.
I don't understand. Like, I respect people that came in, and part of it to me is the time commitment, too. Yeah.
Where I'm just like, I never thought I'd see this day, but I'm like, there's so much other stuff I could be doing right now. Like, I was driving around yesterday, and I was like, there's a time in my life, where I would say, yeah, I'm just locking myself in a house all day, because all I want to do is watch TV. I'm not at that place now.
I'm like, I got friends I can visit. I'm hungry. I want to go do this.
Yeah. I'm still going to watch this. It's weird.
That's why we usually have one or two shows, and that's it. And they usually come on either at eight or nine. So I get home at three.
We're usually out in the yard doing stuff. Are there any shows? Because Jen and I don't have this anymore.
But are there any shows that you watch that? I think they call it like binge cheating or something, where you have shows that you watch together, but if you watch it before Christy does, like, she gets mad at you. No, no, we don't.
Jen and I used to have certain shows that's like, look, we watch this together when it happens. Game of Thrones was like that in the beginning. Yeah.
But then she gets distracted. Now if she's busy, then we'll just DVR it and then watch it together. Now, do you have shows that you do that, but you, you're like, look, I need to watch it.
You don't have shows that you have to ask permission of him. We still haven't watched this because we can't wait on you. We don't have that many.
There are certain shows that we do watch, but we, but our schedules are so out of thing that we can't. Like, I have to say, hey, have you watched SVU yet? You know, I think that's one of the few that we have that we share.
We don't have a lot of shows that we share in the morning, which is kind of weird. Because we used to have a lot of shows that we're like, look, have you watched this yet? We get to something DVR.
Yeah. Because I've already watched it. It's okay.
We have the fast and loud or street outlaws on Mondays. Face off on Tuesdays. And then we were watching six on Wednesdays, but now that's over, we got to find something else.
Yeah. I mean, taboo's over. Legion's about to end.
And then everything goes on the stretch run in April. Yeah. Which I can't get ahead of myself.
So usually on Thursdays and Fridays, we're looking for a movie to watch. Oh, really? Yeah.
Well, I don't know what to show that you could probably listen to that would get you. It's a suggestion. I'm just saying.
I need to learn how to spell. All right. Let's move on because we're way behind schedule tonight.
Let's talk some NBA talk, which are also going to combine with some college basketball talk. Did you see this Russell Westbrook thing from Thursday night? No.
He's driving down the court. It's one of the crazy things I've ever seen. And he's at mid court.
And he hits this bounce pass across. That goes between the defenders legs. Which I watched it about 16 times.
Like, I'm watching this like this a Pruter film. I'm like, how is this in the physics? What it looks like to me is he was trying to pass it behind the guy.
And he didn't time it right, but it went clean. Bounce right through the guys legs to his guy who drove and took the basket. That's the coolest things I've ever seen.
I do want to say if you're bracket resembles anything left. I question you. I question your integrity.
Because we've had a couple of huge upsets. It was weekend. I saw.
I saw today just today breaking news in big red letters at the bottom of the aspen. I mean, let's look at today alone. Let me get to the, okay, finish games.
Michigan takes out Louisville. That was a number two seed gone. Yeah, that was the breaking news today.
Which at all state, almost beats Kentucky. Kansas blows the door. So if I'm Michigan state, Rhode Island right now, almost half time, they're only down seven to Oregon.
Then getting out of the first round was a shock to a lot of people. Right now, North Carolina trails aren't can saw by two. Like the first day everybody was like, you know, there was only like people would say there were two upsets, but they weren't upset that they didn't surprise anybody.
It was day two when the wheels fell off of everything. And then yesterday when Villanova, yeah, I almost had to put Villanova in, in memoriam because they had to have blown 60% of them because I had Villanova winning the whole thing. I had Villanova winning the entire shooting match.
I'm telling you. I'm watching this happen. I know that wasn't the game I watched.
I was watching out North Western. Almost beat was it Gonzaga? Yeah, thanks so.
I got my brackets around here somewhere. But I mean, North Western was like, they could win this thing. Oklahoma State.
What happened there? This, it was just like, I mean, I think there's a lot of people that had just, they were kind of let down after day one because it just wasn't. Day two was when things started really kind of moving around.
My gators are in the sweet 16. I didn't have them past 32. You know, a lot of people had Miami going farther than the first round.
Florida State going farther than the second round. This entire tournament coming up tonight. You've got USC Baylor.
Baylor. I still don't buy Duke South Carolina. Get ready.
Because people want to talk about Duke. Duke has been in turmoil this year. But Duke is like the Yankees.
Just get to the postseason. Yeah. And then we'll just go, we'll run wild.
Yeah. And then Cincinnati, UCLA, Cincinnati surprising a lot of people. I don't want to say I want UCLA to lose.
But it sure would be nice not to hear balls dead talking anymore. Stop giving this guy airtime. Seriously.
I could have taken Michael Jordan 101. Oh, really? With your average of 2 points and 1.3 rebounds a game in your 1 year and a NBA career?
We're just booted out there. All three of my kids on a bit one billion dollar shudio. You don't even have to give us all the money now.
100 million dollars a year. One of your kids is still in high school. The other ones in college.
It's called illegal dumbbell. Stop giving this guy airtime. I can't believe I'm doing it.
We're going to play for anybody but the lakers. You don't have that choice. Oh, but I was just putting it out there and you were shot up.
I mean, come on man. Wouldn't it be funny if the lakers like we don't want to. I think we're certainly going to position to be like that.
Yeah, sure. Speaking of which, let's go to some more some standings right now. In the eastern conference, the Atlantic division.
Brooklyn who took a 7 point loss to your Dallas Mavericks today in their own house. 13 and 56. You have a 30 and a half back.
I'm just going to say it. They played 66. They played 69 games.
There's up two weeks left in the season. They are out of it. Yeah.
What? 13 games back on the 76ers. A team that defines the word tanking.
And at this point, though, don't be even if they lose out. I don't think that they can get the seller back. They're a game back on the next boy.
The next bad this year. And my manager is a huge next fan. This is going to rough go of it for him.
The next are 13 games back on Toronto. And Toronto's three and a half back on Boston. In the central division, the Chicago Bulls, four games below 500, but they're 13 back in the division.
They're a half game back on Detroit. Detroit's one back on Millawoke. Millawoke is a game and a half back on Indiana.
Problem is, Indiana's 10 back on Cleveland. And Cleveland's four and six in their last 10. That's right.
Thank you for reminding me, bro. For us, we're going to get to it. Let's see.
In the southeast division, the Orlando Magic 20 games below 500. They're 3 and 7 in their last 10. They're 17 and a half back in the division.
They're 5 and a half back on Charlotte. Charlotte, four back on my Miami Heat Miami is three back on Atlanta. And the Washington Wizards still getting it done.
They're 5 games up in the division. For a game show, there's not a lot to talk about. That's the problem.
Everybody's keeping it tight right now. Let me take a look. Yeah.
In the western conference, the Lakers, the aforementioned Lakers, 19 games below 500, lost four in the row. They're 35 games back dude. They're two back on Philanix.
Philanix is five back on Sacramento Mentos. Sacramento Mentos is 14 and a half back on the Clippers. And the Clippers are 14 and a half back on Golden State.
In the southwest division, go up against their 13 games below 500, but they're 24 and a half back. There are two games back on your Dallas Mavericks. Dallas is now nine and a half back on Memphis.
Memphis, eight back on Houston Houston. Now five back on San Antonio. I'm out.
We're going to get back here. San Antonio and Houston have both clinched playoff spots. And Golden State has clinched the division.
In the northwest division, the Minnesota timber wolves. Because they're on the northwest. They're 12 games below 500, but they're 14 back on the division.
They're three back on Portland Portland, four and a half back on Denver. Denver. I'm sorry.
Portland is two and a half back on Denver. Denver is seven back on Oklahoma City. And with an Oklahoma City on a five game win streak, they have closed the gap.
They're only two and a half back on Utah. Utah's lost two in a row. So that division's getting a little tight.
We can go ahead and play this week's game show. Let me just make sure I'm in the right place, which I am. What is the point differential for the Brooklyn nets?
This is not nearly as much fun as the one we do at hockey. But again, I'm not going to say anything. Barbara, what is the point differential for the Brooklyn nets?
One dollar, Bob. They've lost two in a row. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know that. Two ninety combined between the given up and scored.
They have a 188 win percentage. They're eight and twenty seven in the division. I'm sorry.
They're eight and twenty seven in home. They're two and eleven in the division. They're five and thirty five in the conference.
their point differential their minus 8.1 and that's the worst in the league so it's not like anybody's like drowning in point differential right now but it's I mean you're still 13 and 56 dude you've only won in you know in 70 games you've only won 13 more than me you know what I mean like put that in perspective for me I'm just saying all right so let's talk about the next few weeks before we move any further huge announcement it's been it's one of those things where the margin for error here is very slim but I don't ever want to jinx it it makes any sense yeah but it is official one week

fame coming up here in just a few weeks yeah that induction um I'm kind of hoping they do the same thing like last year what they did for Prince was over the end credits they played him at the rock and roll hall of fame playing while my guitar gently weeps which if you've never seen that clip look at it up it's over all over YouTube that dude destroys that guitar solo and as did the guy we saw recently we wouldn't saw let it be but Chuck Berry passing away at 90 he will be horribly horribly missed a guy that I don't know that we talk enough about when we talk about greats yeah but he should be recognized as such that being said let us move on a hell hell rock and roll brother you in line let's do some NHL talk your standing says we're getting ever closer to the Stanley Cup playoffs in the eastern conference Atlantic division the Detroit wed red wings you're 21 points out of first place you are out of it there are three points behind the buffalo's sobrays the sobrays are three behind my my four to Panthers and yeah or turn around the trail and my my beloved four to Panthers are four behind my beloved Tampa Bay Lightning and they have just melted it down in the second half their two points behind Toronto Toronto is three back on Boston Boston is four back on Otorua and Otorua two back on the Montreal Canadian oh what is the other division in the eastern conference barbar um the eastern eastern will be the metropolitan in the metropolitan division we have two teams that have clinched their playoff spots but none of them are New Jersey because New Jersey with 64 points is 36 points back I think they might be out of it they might be out of it they're eight back on the Philadelphia Flyers who are tied with Carolina the Hurric Kings Carolina both of them are six back on the Islanders are fifteen back on the New York Rangers Rangers six back on Pittsburgh Columbus and Washington have both clinched playoff spots with a hundred points of peace Columbus is on a four game win streak they've been they've played really good hockey this year and they're the quietest team that nobody's talking about like they were one game from tying the all-time win streak record in the NHL um like 16 and a row or something in the western conference central division that has no eastern or western uh Colorado avalanche you know we might have to play a game show with them just say that because not only are they in the seller and Russ get ready not only are they in the seller they are 23 points behind the next team from them and that would be your tell the store yes Dallas is three back on Winnipeg Winnipeg is twelve back on Nashville whose tie with St. Louis they're both in eleven back on Minnesota the wildest five back on Chicago Chicago is one four in a row and in the Pacific division the I still can't say Arizona coyotes it just doesn't it doesn't roll along the tongue well they have 61 points or 30 points out they're four back on then cover Vancouver is 10 back on the kings the kings are nine back on our eleven back on Calgary Calgary only a point behind Edmonton who is two behind Anna Hime but Anna Hime is four back on say alright Russ you're ready because we're going to play another game show right now and it is how many points do the Colorado avalanche have Russell give you a minute to get caught up because there's a delay but barbed wire how many points do the Colorado avalanche have 14 14 is the official prediction from barbed wire I will tell you this they have more wins than that I don't know if Russ is going to get in in time we'll get him just another couple of seconds here but the Colorado avalanche they're on a one-day losing streak right now there are three and seven in their last 10 on the road they are nine 25 and one at home they are 11 22 and one and done two I'm sorry they have a 93 gold differential minus one they are 44 points out of first place currently Russ says 61 points Russ is too high they have 43 points right now you know what I'm okay with Colorado avalanche failure I'm just saying alright let's keep it moving we got into this arresting talk because we are definitely running a little bit behind what did you think about your choice for the warrior award this year at the Hall of Fame I have not seen it does the name eracle a grand mean anything to you I don't believe so I'm almost there eracle a grand is a god that I had actually talked about at my job for the first couple years of my company I ran the training program and I would always tell them I would gather my team around every evening and we would do some announcements and one of the things that we would talk about because I'd always do like a quick lesson of the day we would bring up eracle a grand was a player from army and in a game in 2010 against Rutgers it was a he was a punt return and he just got nailed lost all feeling from his shoulders now I think I remember that this is a guy who is never giving up he is still going through a year later he actually led the team back out on the field in his wheelchair he is he is actually a part of the same foundation that was founded by Christopher Reeves in his wife okay they sports illustrated named him leading his team out on the field I actually you know what I don't want to screw this up I don't remember if I try too hard but actually I think he played for Rutgers and they were playing against army if I can get this to work never let it say that we're totally organized on this show let's see eracle grand play he played for Rutgers and in May 2012 the bucks actually signed him to a symbolic contract nice because his coach at Rutgers was the coach of the bucks at that time sports illustrated named that moment where he led the team out of the field as the moment of the year in sports the the story that I read all the time I still had that issue of sports illustrated in my desk at work the end of the story he tells he says here's the deal I'm gonna walk again and when I walk again I it's hard for me to get through this I'm gonna go to the exact point on the field and I'm gonna lay down and I'm gonna lay there for a second and then I'm gonna get up and walk away that's nice that is your warrior award recipient for this year and I could not be more excited because I'm a huge fan of this guy it just congratulations Eric look around you more than deserve it we did find out a couple of the inductees for the Hall of Fame this week are you ready any of these I know of two but those are two they've announced so one chain is inducting the curtain go really an inducting Teddy Long the APA nice so you got that going for you speaking of WrestleMania ESPN has announced that they will be doing live sports center for WrestleMania at WrestleMania Orlando well that's cool so and there is a R&B performer named Tenashay I don't know who I believe it's a she will be performing America the beautiful at WrestleMania this year that's now become a thing I guess I got Wikipedia but I should probably just use let's see Tenashay is a she so I got that going for me she's a former model let's see she got she was bored but I was in the college she was always she was a voice in the polar express got that going for you and she was best new artist to the B.E.T.
Awards in 2015 speaking of WrestleMania only 161 tickets remain the probably sell out the citrus bowl there whatever they're calling it this week rusev out after having sold shoulder surgery they haven't said how long and boy have you heard the story of the week about page and it's getting worse really earlier this week it was announced by a group known for hacking things if you remember a few years ago much of celebrities had their phones hacked as part of this hack it was exposed that they got page a bunch of risk gay pictures to say the least there have now been two sex tapes that have surfaced this was before her Alberta Rio this when she was the son and ex-tee one of which was an of all is a allegedly involving Brad Maddox who she was dating at the time another one allegedly I'm hearing the name Xavier Woods being thrown around also apparently there's also another tape that has surfaced with Alexa Bliss who's your current SmackDown Women's Champion and some pictures of former Deva Katelyn may have surfaced as well respect to her family though her mother came out and released the statements had looked this was done illegally we support our daughter this should never have happened normally we wouldn't even give this airtime but it's out there we're not I'm not even promoting where they are you go find in yourselves but I'm gonna tell you something I say this for awareness and this is the reason we cover the story we're doing it for awareness I want people to be aware that these people are these kind of people are out there and I hope they're found and I hope they're prosecuted the full success of the law privacy is privacy yeah and it's not like you can go oh sorry my bad one something's on the internet it's on the internet forever forever never ever never never ever ever yep so I really hope that the company doesn't I hope the company rolls with her on this and it and it's not like she's been the model employee I'll be the first to tell you that but I think if she released them herself it would be one thing right she has no control over somebody else releasing things that they stole exactly and I hope these people were found I hope they're prosecuted the full success yeah that's why we cover it we're not trying to be TMZ we're not trying to be sleazy but this is a story that's out there and I hope the people that have found and found quickly because there's one guy I think I don't know if it's the same guy but the guy that handle a couple of celebrities he actually was arrested and he's serving 18 months in prison which is about 30 years too little in my personal opinion but if this is not the same guy let's find him and get him behind bars period and a statement yep let's talk we're a little bit um are we a critical mass with him and I think we have been for a while I kind of feel like your paying lessner a butt ton of money learn to cut a promo dude yeah and there's good up what that felt funny up again you're still not getting me interested in this match I don't care what you do you're rehashing the worst match in rental mania it's straight yeah yeah that not even stone cold Steve Austin himself could rescue without putting stunners on both of them do we learn nothing from survivor series and the rumble and fast lane I respect Bill Goldberg always have always well and I respect Lesnar to an extent the guy's a freaking nature yeah like I'm okay up target will do be the riser backs like you've got this young talent you've got to let them run with it yep I mean I'm all about moving that belt around a little bit because I really feel like oh once had that a little bit longer than he should have because I like it when he's a little more hungry going after the belt but dude we're two weeks from WrestleMania and I haven't talked to one person that's excited for WrestleMania really I haven't even given it a thought other than when I when I realize we're two weeks from WrestleMania you know what my thought process is because we'll have to do the pre-show an hour early yeah it's a four hour paper view if we're lucky because if you remember last year it was almost five yeah because Rocky took 30 minutes I just it's not gonna be capital punishment it's not gonna be that really the only thing that I'm interested in is the Hall of Fame and they're doing that Friday night yeah cause NXT takeovers on Saturday yeah so we'll be on the air at the Dallas International Film Festival during the Hall of Fame so I'm have to watch the Hall of Fame on Saturday after I go to the movies so there's a couple movies I want to see so then I have to come home watch the Hall of Fame and then watch NXT takeover fun you ready for WrestleMania the next day the things you put yourself through for the empire but we do it because we love to do what we do we do it because we love this thing yeah you know sorry we've been doing this for almost 70 years I'm also starting to wonder if Strowman is actually the plan for Undertaker at WrestleMania because Reigns calls out Undertaker HBK shows up as it's like look dude you really don't know what you're kidding to yeah and so then Reigns goes to leave and he's attacked by Strowman I'm starting to wonder if they're gonna sort of the booking here the other thing that scares me though is that they turn that into a three-way dance because Mark just can't go like he used to yeah but if you're Mark did you just go put those two fight what is what does me at WrestleMania do for you anymore was it last year's WrestleMania year before where he just laid out for half of the match because it was a three-way no that he didn't that was in a three-way that was the um that was the cage match where Sean was the ref okay yeah oh are we oh no we're not there yet stop it and did you see Reigns new t-shirt no he comes out the end of raw you know limit any course he tosses the crutch unzips his hoodie and it's the Reigns logo the circle logo and above it it says king slayer I'm like I want that shirt because I'm just I'm so done with with ancient stuff bullying everybody like yeah can we just not do this anymore right like at least with Shane he's just kind of there on SmackDown and it's more about to show itself where Ross more about the struggle between Mick and Stephanie yeah and it starts and I am sorry to wonder if it's going to at that Triple H match is now going to be a tag match or it's going to be Mick and Seth versus Joe and H now remember if it happens somebody's listening to the shell just saying it I'm putting it out there because I am the smartest man why yep that's Ross alluded to earlier on the child just saying LAX has returned to impact wrestling with Conan the whole airport no the tag with homicide angel or T's Mike drastic and angel rose but no Hernandez you don't have Hernandez in LAX how are they still floating they had the best ratings they've had like six months this past week well I did flip through and see that they're back to the to the ring they've had the six I didn't bring back for a while well I don't but I don't get that channel so I couldn't even tell oh my he lost can he sing is going to be on the bachelor ret from our OH did not know apparently he's a former chip in Dale's dancer oh boy so you got that going for you which is nice did we were you listening when we talked with the whole conundrum with the bachelor in the bachelor ret yeah yeah yeah I wouldn't know who fumble that because I'm telling you the internet would crazy how did you announce the bachelor ret should I be eliminated from the show yeah yeah Leo Rush allegedly headed to NXT so the guy that wins the top prospect tournament last year is now going to NXT I like the guy I just don't know if he is WWE material yet like he's he's a high fire he's quick you've got a great style to him he just doesn't have that X factor for me so we're going to see how that works out uh NXT speaking of which we'll be head back to the UK and June so all members of our empire over in the UK get ready those tickets are going on sale very very soon June 5th in Aberdeen June 6th in Manchester June 7th in Leeds and then wrapping it up June 8th in Brighton for NXT another NXT headline saidric Alexander now out five months with a right knee injury another former ROH guy Jason Jordan half of American Alpha got married this weekend so miles will talk to those kids and Jack's Wagner has been released originally they weren't going to release him but they went ahead released him so he is now free to hang out in Oklahoma I guess no notes from SmackDown this week just because it was a good show but there was nothing that like made me go oh that's not worthy there's a lot of replies man because of the whole AJ attacking Shane they replayed that like six times and it was weird because I guess they were running out of time because Shane comes out with the microphone and says AJ wants a match for WrestleMania he's got it out like they cut it in it now crystaly knows best but again how is it SmackDown's live and they still know how to end on time and rockians end to figure it out and why I mean this last week raw winds like 314 really I remember they used to do that a lot I remember when they announced Rocky is the host for WrestleMania and I had it that that show went almost 345 I kept having luckily I was watching it live and I kept having to extend it out wow come on get it together do that regularly get it together raw so I'm saying all right let's get into movie talk we're almost caught up box office numbers from our friends at box office move yeah dropping out of the top 10 this week make scroll down just a wee bit 50 shades dark darker drops from 10 to 17 six weeks 114 million 55 million dollar budget and Lala and drops from nine to 12 this week 530 thousand dollars but it's okay it's made 150 million dollars on a 30 million dollar budget so they're going to be dropping from 6 to 10 this week before I fall the emo groundhogs day one million dollars three weeks 11.3 I don't have a budget on that John Wick chapter two drops from eight to nine have you seen this yet no but I want to we're gonna talk about it here in a minute yes break all we're going to do it I know he's going to be listening he's like you better you know one attraction okay one point two million dollars in six weeks it's made almost 90 million dollars and I think the budget time was on this was like 40 really hidden figures drops from 7 to ammo cost more than that ten such a family you're buying hidden figures another 1.5 million 13 weeks 166.6 million dollars 20 have you seen this film yet nope I would love to for amazing one of my favorite films last year the bellco experiment as it has been known office space meets battle royale I wouldn't saw that yesterday oh what do you think what's the point really not that great buddy well I mean the whole movie yeah it's the bellco experiment but they never tell you why they're experimenting or it's just it's just a thing it's just a thing okay made four million dollars on a five million dollar budget they be using seven I believe it only goes five million the Lego Batman movie drops from five to six I love this movie so much have you seen it no oh my god the opening alone just it's a collection you just hear black oh great movie start with a black screen and he's talking over the logos it's like Warner Bros don't know what it is DC the house that Batman built that's right I said it Superman can I be broke it's big back of the movie starts back to the bellco uh the beginning of the movie took me back to 1985 with the Orion logo oh I was like really oh they got the right to update it I don't know bankrupt for so long but the Lego Batman movie makes another four point seven million dollars six weeks a hundred and sixty seven point four million dollars on eighty million dollar budget I'm telling you this movie's worth it it's really well done the shack drops from four to five not the biography of Mr. O'Neal 6.1 million dollars three weeks 42.6 million dollars I don't have a budget but I guarantee you it's it's making money now get out drops from three to four ninety nine percent on rotten tomato sir what 13.3 million dollars four weeks a hundred and thirty three point one million dollars this was a four point five million dollar budget wow Jordan Peel getting it done in the dropping from silver to bronze this week Logan 17.5 million dollars three weeks a hundred and eighty four million dollars ninety seven million dollar budget but you know what I stand by my review it's good not great I stand by that dropping from the gold medal to the silver medal this week Kong Skull Island 28.9 million dollars two weeks a hundred and ten point two million dollars a hundred and eighty five million dollar budget so this could get close okay so remember Kong Skull Island second place 28.9 million dollars okay um Micah Tarr Actari from the show Jersey Lucius dead at 28 just coming across from from Russ for the kids of the clothes in the hair I guess yes so we talked about beauty in the beast doing well remember Kong Skull Island 28.9 million dollars beauty in the beast 160 million dollar budget you want to take a guess at what it made since Thursday night 250 you shot a little high and that's fine well the reason why is because I want to take my oldest daughter to see it yesterday two forty five show sold out three ten show sold out four clock show sold out that's why we saw the belco experiment a hundred and seventy million dollars so with the rule of five or the rules are the rule of 50 which means you spend you have your budget but you add 50 million of it for the promotion they're only forty million from profit I think they might make it and it's good like I set the bar really freaking high and we walked in this theater it's good and also after Laurence Montague from the 1963 movie The Great Escape is passed away there's your traffic 170 million dude I thought 80 would have been acceptable yeah have to watch it 170 well that's like I was telling my daughter episode seven it's a Montenegna Montague episode seven wasn't sold out like this and people waited 30 years for that when did that original trailer come about for a row one for this no no for beauty in the beginning is about a year ago year the first teaser yeah really did the shot for shot side by side yeah I mean 170 no congratulations on that yikes I think they're going to be okay movie headlines this week or said Wells final film called the other side of the wind is going to actually debut on Netflix that he never finished before he passed away that was announced this week so did it get finished I think somebody else like but I'm telling Netflix is making moves so they're making moves just let me know in the next part of the season for the get-downs happening I loved that show that was amazing Edward James almost has joined the Blade Runner sequel so say we all really that was already finished I guess not play runner 2049 was announced this week but isn't that coming out later this summer they may be doing some restutes okay you remember no let's see also thought saw the first poster for the first dark tower film it is set for July 28th my best friends birthday and it's just pretty cool looking poster very impressed by that saw today uh aquaman is officially set for December 21st 2018 and the Batman has been in delay and DC's trying to get another movie up and running in its place but they're gonna put the aquaman against Han Solo I guess I'm not possibly probably the week before I think instead of right before Christmas maybe just oh yeah you know Dwayne Johnson's next action film has been set for July 13th 2018 it's called Sky Scraper things enemy of the state meets the towering in Furnown okay basically he's a guy who's a responsible for security and office buildings and I believe he goes to Tokyo because you know everything of Tokyo blows up and they have tall buildings yes and apparently something goes horribly wrong and he's framed for it that's what you're looking at uh venom has a release date really october 5th 2018 I didn't even know it was that same thing this thing is happening because Sony just doesn't care anymore it's like care more than Fox does that's right I've said it well good not great I stand by my review don't like it go Ponce hand I just people are just raking me over the coast how did I think it was the greatest new movie ever first of all you're grading on a curve it's Fox yeah I got two words for you fantastic four twice three if you count the stupid silver surfer one and it's not Deadpool Deadpool is the bar for Fox yeah nothing's going to hit except baby Deadpool too yeah again it's good I'm not saying it's a bad film and that trailer wait see we didn't see it the screening I just see I'm lying I just it's it's well done I'm a fan but I'm not putting it in the pantheon I'm sorry I'd like to see it it's worth a view don't keep me wrong but it's not something that I'm like if I don't see this I'm going to die no it's it's good but it's not great I mean it earns it's our rating in the first 30 seconds really the first word in the film is an F bomb and there's one scene I guess they wanted to make sure they got the R so there's one scene where there's boobies for just because they're there gratuitous yeah so you've already got the R I mean come on yeah again good not great but back in the day of PG 13 would have a flash ever once in a while yeah but now you can get an arv just for smoking real it's true story what true story if you're like right there on the precipice and somebody lights up a cigarette there you go that is a true story I've heard that story many times gosh let's see what else have we got here Henry Cavill has joined the cast of mission impossible six even though I'm still two movies behind mail an acumen because you know they're doing a movie based on the video game rampage right yes hard that mail an acumen it's going to be the evil head of the tech company that's responsible for the monsters mail how you don't Matthew Vaughn will direct the man of steel too all right don't know where we're going with that but you okay uh the god that had wrote the legend of Tarzan has been hired to write Sue Scott suicide squad too run away run away that movie was terrible but he did win an Oscar this is the world I live in yeah well this is the world of everybody gets a participation trophy we do lay there there's no better proof of Oscar award winning films suicide squad well they could put the sticker on the DVDs now actually I might change that I'm gonna put that there I'm gonna put that somewhere else apparently 20th century fox wants to remake the fly again that's happening again are they going to do that version or they're going to do the gold bloom version I don't even know fox just and we're not even done with fox yet let me just say that we're not even done with fox yet because we're the Scott wants to do four more alien films come on fox you're better than this like I know you're probably in a panic because you don't have Star Wars anymore but come on man and you're network renewed lethal weapon which I also don't get although I for people said it's good show I just can't do it I saw one episode I wasn't impressed Chad's enjoying it I'm just saying and okay we have to talk about this so friend of the show Jim Bragle had this epiphany and I think it's related to a a reddit thread he is of the opinion and this is really starting to gain steam on an Oliver stony in the level you know we're rebooting the matrix no we are he is gaining steam with his theory that John Wick is going to work its way into the matrix because the guy that directed both of the John Wick films because there's going to be three of them it was it was always intended to be a trilogy never directed anything before but he was a stuntman on the matrix and speed racer and Jupiter ascended just remake the third one leave the first two alone remake the third one had its issues too so he's of the opinion that they're going to end up merging together and I know if I go too deep then I'm going to start ruining the second one but a lot of his theory comes from the last five minutes of the second film and dear god if he's right I will never hear the end of it because see my thing is I am kind of poking the bear because I'm kind of feeding it because I've given him a couple of alternate theories that would still wind up that way but he may be a genius that's all I'm saying because the company that distributes the John Wick films summit in in Europe is also distributed by Warner Brothers who did the matrix films and then once that got out all of a sudden later that day that any connection there in was removed from Wikipedia so now it's turning into this black ops dark city kind of god if he's right god if he's right it would be a hell of a thing though you want to talk about blowin the wheels off something moving your releases in places you get moving your releases this week power Rangers I'm screening it Wednesday all right so you'll have my review Thursday night it looks decent it looks like the breakfast club with powers so I'm intrigued yeah and you put Elizabeth Banks and just about move banks how you know it you put her just about anything I'm gonna watch it little upset that she's not directing pitch perfect three but uh life I want to see that this movie creeps me out I'm out I'm a fan of everybody involved but I want to see if I don't want to do alien I sure is how I know this and I still haven't seen promethias so what the alien I mean you know what's gonna happen and when it's gonna happen and how it happens and but you know what I may take my boss has this theory that he's not a fan of horror movies but his wife is so she wants to watch a horror film what he does is he looks up the Wikipedia page and he reads everything so he knows what's coming so it's not as if I said you know what that's not a bad idea I am buying into this theory still I'm not gonna see it but I think it's a very smart man chips which I'm hearing very mixed reviews on I'm a fan of both of these guys yeah but chips wasn't a comedy show watch it now it kind of well it's it was a lot like my advice for man they took this way too serious like Wilson which uh don and I will be doing a little divide and conquer this week so he'll be screening that it's the new uh Woody Harrelson film yeah I saw the interesting trailers it's watching the trailer but I was it I couldn't really pay attention a DVD and blue right new releases in places you get DVD and blue right new releases this week you got little ones out there on the on the compound if you haven't seen sing no get this for the kids I love this movie it's I'll put it to you this way if you if you listen to our review on that let me see which iTunes exclusive iTunes exclusive 247 um Chad can't stand Taylor Swift this film made him enjoy a Taylor Swift song really it's it's a wonderful film it's funny it's got good heart you haven't lived until you've watched a yak do crazy towns butterfly and just stand in there come my lady come come my lady remember the flag and the little uh j-pop rabbits or whatever they are oh my god and it's one of those movies that show watch with your grandson and you'll you'll laugh too at stuff that he's not quite getting yeah go pick this up on Tuesday I'm telling you whatever the cost is if it's 25 bucks it's worth it it's a wonderful wonder my mom called me and told me how much she enjoyed this film really yes also this week assassins creed boy that took a bad at the box office miss loan with Jessica Chastain which I've heard good things about uh julyetta which is a foreign film I've heard good things about uh tower which I actually have on my DVR because they showed it on PBS this is a documentary about the tower shootings of the University of Texas okay uh I have people are going crazy this actually showed last year at the Dallas International Film Festival and I missed it PBS showed it I DVR it I haven't watched it yet but people are like a lot of it's re-imacted through animated sequences and there's people that that are taught that interview they're like I've never talked about this before and so it's really I've heard it's really well done a kind of murder which the movie that kind of came and went this is about a guy who has an affair but he's a Patrick Wilson's in this Jessica Beels in this and the girl that he has an affair with winds up dead it's kind of like a reverse gun girl I guess you could say or like the girl on the train in 1960s New York Walter Stackhouse is a successful architect married to the beautiful Clara who leads a seemingly perfect life but his fascination with an unsolved murder leads him into a spiral of chaos as he has formed a force to play cat and mouse with a clever killer and an overambitious detective all the same time rusting after another woman. Hayley Bennett also in this as well.
See the trailers it definitely looks creepy. Ben you're uh criteria in collection this week I wish she had was here because one of his favorite uh Peter Sellers being there being the criterion and something called multiple maniacs. It sounds like a kid's film.
Tech Talk this week let's get into it. Congratulations to the guys who made Horizon Zero Dawn this is an adult over 2.6 million copies. Wow and our friends over at that nerd show I believe they have their review up for it now.
I know they've been they've been working with it a little bit lately. Firestorm has been confirmed for injustice too so that roster just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Telltale these are the people that did the walking dead series of games right now they're doing telltale the Batman the next one they're doing will be Guardians of the Galaxy.
So get ready for that. Super Mario Run have you done learning to free your iPhone yet? Yeah is it any good?

All right I think we're almost caught up. We're still a little bit behind but let's get into the list. Again I've had to do both PLI and the list because you know Chad still went back and it's taking me a while to figure out what I was going to do for the list but I mentioned I tease this earlier and this is what we're going these are the top 10 shows I'm still holding on to and I'm not quite sure why.
You with me? Yeah all right so number 10 it's a three way tie. Arrow Supergirl on the flash.
I'm not sure why I'm still watching these shows. Season 2 of Supergirl has been rough to get through. It's gotten a little too cheesy.
The flash emo berry is wearing me out. You screwed up the abade flash point deal with its son and Arrow is just so all over the place. I did just once I want all of you to go I'm going to be the one to destroy you all over Queen and I just wanted to go yank the first yank gonna be the last.
You kill me the show's kind of done. I need to see W to curve this around. Now legends of tomorrow is actually doing really well for me.
This week's episode they travel and they're in World War II and they're they're going here for this thing pieces is the thing called the spear of destiny which can alter time and space. Well they're apparently they're going to be working with JR our Tolkien and the name of this week's episode is the fellowship of the spear. Oh gosh.
So and I like it because it's kind of rust it's telling us that ant man in the wasp has an official release of July 6, 2018. What I love about legends is it doesn't take itself too seriously and it's it's kind of having fun which is where supergirl was for a while and now they're trying to be too serious where they can come on. I'm going to stick with you because the geek in me wants this to be successful but you've gotta give me ammo when people ask me why.
Which leads me to number nine and I'm talking to you Gotham this show. Oh like when we talk about Fox screwing up continuity you can't screw it up any more than they're doing with Gotham. Like your average villain by the time Bruce is old enough to be Batman it's going to be 90.
Like it's just it's the entire last season and a half of Gotham has been it's like they've written themselves into a corner and they don't know how to get out of it. So they just throw more villains in. What's wrong with that?
I was at Jasper over there. They both want to be on the show tonight. I'm waiting on their mother to get home.
Jen's been down with Sandra parents in San Antonio this weekend so they're they're getting a little antsy. This mommy should be home anytime now. Like I love everybody involved in Gotham.
Just the writing is killing me. It just like I've got people that that are that are big geeks like me that have already bailed on the show and my Batman bias won't let me do it. Like I'm the guy that watched was that beware of the Batman that they heard on cartoon network that was like a man.
I watched every episode. So that makes me a glutton for punishment. Number eight and this might shock you.
This Simpsons. I don't know why I'm still watching this show. I never really got into it.
Like it has moments. There's moments that I watch so I'm like okay that's kind of funny. But that's all I'm getting right now.
Like family guys back on track. They only guys killing it right now. But the Simpsons it's just...
That's where I'm at. Maybe it's because it's been on since 1863 and then just you know I am a complete it. Number seven it's always sunny in Philadelphia and they're getting two more seasons.
They're getting for two more. Wow. And it's like they've run out of shock value but I'm still there because everybody they it's like they watered it down from doing it.
Like the league new into bail. The league bail and they may maybe one season too long but they still new into bail. But it's always sunny.
It's just like we're running on a stuff to do shock value. Number six Marvel's Avengers assemble. This is the animated series that Disney is doing.
It's so bad. The original like Earth's mightiest heroes are what they called it. That was awesome.
I was a huge fan of that show but they kind of kidded up a little bit. Kind of like they did with team times versus team times go. I can't even watch team times go.
I could barely other team titans with that style of it. But it's just this ultra-on revolution. It's not working.
Now they're supposed to be doing secret war next. You might have me back if you do it right. But I'm not holding my breath right.
Number five and we mentioned at the top of the show that you got renewed for season two, Legion. I have no idea what's going on here. Like I was watching it this past week and there's only two episodes left in the season.
And my wife walks it about halfway through and she sits down and we're one of the very few times we're actually having dinner together. And we're watching Legion and she looks at me and she goes, do you know what's happening right now? And I said I think so.
Spoilers if you haven't watched this week's episode yet in three two don't say the one. This entire episode takes place in his head. They're trapped in his head.
And it's just every episode is just trippy. Like 60s like the writers had to have hit an entire sheet of LSD and went okay dude here's what we're gonna have a dude right and he's trapped in the astral plane but his body's still in the physical plane but the only way his body can be preserved is if we put it in like a like a 1950s diver suit right and in the astral plane he's gonna live in a big ice cube that's gonna have an apartment in it and it's gonna be totally 60s out and he's gonna be played by your main Clements but he's gonna mention karaoke which really isn't gonna make any sense because they wouldn't have had in the 60s. Maybe they're it's a fox marvel property do I need to say any more maybe they want you to drop acid before you watch it and you might have had a kid that plays the main character is the kid that plays the beast and you're in the beast he's also on down Navi and if you are a fan of comics you know who he is he is professor x is son he is the one that usher's in the age of apocalypse but if you don't know that you see Legion and the oh has the ex in it and you're like oh it's no no it's not it's not an ex-man series also I have a theory on that show because Gene smart from designing women isn't it and she always wears some form of very light coloring I think she might be the white queen that's my theory I'm thrown it out there because your main Clements character who's her husband he's very white Kingish so I'm wondering if they're part of the Hellfire Club just go through I don't know haven't read but it's my theory and I'm sticking with it number four another show that just makes me angry marvels agents have shield what are we doing this LMD storyline was terrible I thought what they did with Ghost Rider was good but no no this LMD story is horrible and now they're all with like a dream state and in the dream state may works for Hydra and now grants back because they're in this dream shot up and the only reason I think I lose and I'm really holding on to the show is they do tend to tie it to the cinematic universe and I'm again I'm a completeist so I have to know everything that's going on and all the crossovers number three and NBC needs to get off their duff here powerless this show is bad for those of you that don't know about powerless powerless takes place at a branch of Wayne Industries that makes gadgets it's Alan Tudick Vanessa Hudgens Danny Pooody like it's got a good cast but it's so wacky smack it eater oh it's just god awful but it's got the Wayne name on it yep I gotta support it you're a completeist number two and if that hurts you this one's going for tomorrow number two and the list of shows I'm still watching and I can't keep rid of it I don't know why comic bookman wow I love Kevin Smith and he's he's really the reason I'm still watching now I have not seen yoga hoses yet fully admit that what takes me out of comic bookman is the fact that I know it's all staged because when you watch the end credits it says casting by like I watch it because number one is Kevin and I'll always support him because I'm a huge fan have been since 94 but they do like the people that when they do their pawn stars bit people kind of bring in some cool stuff so I can watch it from that angle like oh I haven't seen one of those in years that's almost I can almost every time I can call what it's going to sell for really because the person says it and then Walt gives his alternate I go that's what they're going to give it for I'm pretty I'm I would say I'm about 80% accurate I'm like just offering 125 and be done with it I want to see more cool stuff I don't care about the bat boat it's just so badly acted and number one and I don't think there's a person on the planet that's going to debate me on this the number one show that I'm still watching and I don't know why one order special victim's unit I have been I've been a one order junkie since 1991 we have got to call it we have got to throw in the towel on order SVU is just getting worse it's like how else can we screw up Benson here's what we're gonna do to learn like this this show is so bad and like every episode this year has just gotten progressively worse whether it's the acting whether it's the writing it just it makes me want to throw things but I'm still watching it because again I'm a completeist and I'm gonna see this thing out to the bitter end I have people that use that are just as big a law in order junkies as I am and they're saying to me why are you still with this why are you still doing this why do you torture yourself in this way it's just so bad is there anything you want to add any shows that you're not sure why you're still watching no because we really don't watch that many shots kind of fair that is kind of fair all right in that
