Welcome. We are live right here on you stream. Whether you are listening on our archive or whether you subscribe on iTunes, we don't care how you listen.

We are just glad you are here. My name is Rob and we want to send a special shout out here in just a moment. But in order for me to do that, I have to introduce the other person in the studio with me.

A man that is to my knowledge at kind of a relaxing weekend. He is chat. Welcome sir.

That is still not very well rested. Really? So you said something about fighting them some insomnia the other day.

Did you have been sending me text? I'm like what is he doing up? I know.

My sleep schedule is just completely turned around. I got to get it. I'll pull it all night and try to reset the clock and it is just not working.

Well, I guess it is the 14th of August and we have to send a birthday shout out today. Pretty much as I have been all weekend. It is Madeline Mars, 16th birthday today.

They're party and up at the pool up there up in the Savannah area fills youngest and chin and youngest of course because it's her both for parents and had a little surprise for. Flue her. Flue Shannon's parents in to celebrate whether this weekend and we got a surprise or at work.

It was a good time. Had a great time within this weekend. They're still whipping it up up there in Savannah.

So happy birthday Maddie. We love you. We have some corrections actually this week.

Two of them are on me and one of them is kind of sort of in a way on you. 11 2263 is on Hulu. You were right on that.

For some reason I thought the Hall of Fame for the NFL was an Akron. It's in Canton. It's in Canton.

And Ramie Mallock is playing the Dustin Hoffman role in Pappy on with Charlie Hunnam playing the Seed McQueen role. I did some digging. Okay.

Okay. But I did find it. Newsmen's basketball USA defeating France only by three.

Ooh. This is getting a little scary out there in the old Rio. We got a whole Olympic segment coming up later.

Stay right where you are. We're going to have some fun and we always start with the caring of the NAS. No race this week.

I don't know if I want to get people the Olympics. I think that's got to be what it was because I don't remember them or maybe it's just two dogs on hot everywhere. I don't know.

I'm not saying that. Hopefully we're going to hit some rain this week though. Keep things to tell me.

I saw like Wednesday the highest like 82. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Oh my god. She's got let that be a thing. Something tells me that that's not the end of the triple digit weather but.

So let's go ahead and just give you the official points updates. They were unofficial last week. They're official this week.

Odd man out right now is Casey Kane as Trevor Bane. I'm going to man drive a car. He takes into the number 16 spot 15 and 14 are the same with Kyle Larson and Jamie Mick Murray Austin Dillon the new sheriff in town.

He drops to the 13 Chase Elliott attorney at law. He jumps one to 12 Ryan and new men jumps one to 11. Six times six times six times six times six times six time six time six time six time spring cup champion Jimmy Johnson drops three spots to 10 Matt Kenseth up one to nine Martin Truex junior state steady at eight.

Denny Ham one jumps two to seven. Let's see six through three of the same. Joe with again.

Oh Carl back flip Edwards Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch. As your top two as we said last week's switch places Kevin Harvick down one Brad Kezzelowski leads by nine points sir nine. Nine.

Dox favorite number. So did you remember whether we're next to our next race is from last week's show? I do not.

It is this Saturday the racing on Saturday this week at Bristol Motor Speedway. It is an evening race. Does this right any of this ring a bell to you?

Fagely but don't ask people to take a risk. It is the best pro shops and are a night race. That's actually the name of it.

If you can't open your eyes and see that the sky is dark it will be eight o'clock Eastern on your local NBCS and affiliate now this I believe technically you could call us what they refer to as a day night race because the because the sun doesn't set when the race starts you'll play part really always part of it during the day and part of it under the light because right now we're still the sense of setting about 815 830. So I'm pretty sure you could consider this to be a day night race. I just call it a desk race or something.

Well because you race longer than desk I'm just saying you'll give if that's when it starts you know just saying all right let us keep moving and get into a little bit of the TV talk because we are a one stop shop for all things pop culture. Stripping kids we got a lot to talk about this week. First of all congratulations to Zoo have you watched any of this show?

No real interest in it CBS is given it season three didn't even know there was a season two. Yeah I thought this thing just started. Wasn't it just something like the animals and they come to life for something what to do with that?

It's it's like you take the the walking dead and mix it with the strain with some where a wolf is a minute. Wait hold on hold it up still out and it more news that's going to make you go really big brother renewed for seasons 19 and 20 you know that they've already like killed this and resurrected it and it's in its motherland of the UK like twice now it's like it keeps going away and coming back there's okay we're done with it okay we're done with it and honestly I could still care less about this show it just does nothing for me. Right Donovan though renewed for season five I know so many people that love this show and you're not one of them.

It's not that I don't love it I've just never watched the episode but it sounds like it would be something that would be up my alley given to the cast is yeah if nothing well and just a concept of it where he's just like a fixer it's just it looks real and I you know it's it's huge with a lot of people that I know that are better into such things he's a fictional dad that will not let him get out of that hell and it's had some amazing guest stars on it it's just insane you kind of think you kind of think that they see this is their boardwalk empire just set it a modern day set it modern day boy I don't know that's a pretty big shoes you know how big of a fan I am of the boardwalk empire because they've already tried out their hand at a true blood and it didn't go well so we have released the debate schedule first debate going to be I believe September the 26th some Monday night there will be one presidential debate then a vice presidential debate and then two presidential debates the last one will be at the end of October in Vegas the late show will go live after the debates they announced that this week so Colbert will be live after the debates are over that's what he's been doing that's what he was doing at the RNC and the DNC so apparently that's that particular formula seems to be working for them season six of American Horror Story didn't ready come up just rushes in the chat room good is good to see you sir drop by your work last night you weren't there um but you know the guy probably got to have some time off everyone's in a while yeah you can talk into the microphone that would be amazing I'm have you is this your first week I'm just yeah yeah I'm really tired bro you got to cut me a little bit but Sarah Pulse and will be returning to American Horror Story for season six and another news water is wet she seems to be like the only one that keeps coming back every time well and she did American crime story too because remember she played Marcia Clark and did a darn good job destroyed it absolutely um we have some premier dates for a couple of showtime shows home land season six will start January the 15th again another show I didn't realize it'd been around that long and billion season two don't as a big fan of this show don't love season one season two will bow on February the 19th so get ready for that arrest is the doesn't work weekend so there that would be why I didn't see all right what else oh about this we're gonna which um you know how my big fan of the season you know last year they did the season with uh Notre Dame yes I will not be watching at this year let me guess feel free does it have anything to do with a seminar or hurricane the former okay I cannot I won't do it I respect Jimbo Fisher as a man and there's a coach but I from an ideology standpoint I'm out just saying I don't know how many meltdowns there this year don't if it gives you stress and you don't need to be watching it no I won't give me stress it's just by idea on my ideology no just saying yeah if it gives you stress then you don't need to be watching it uh the CW no longer developing the series for Friday the 13th or a little women they're out wow rust just uh wants to know if you saw that he message you about game of thrones live oh I must have missed that one is it the orchestra because I know Hodor was in town last night DJ in downtown is that what you were talking about rust that that was like that was the grave of thrones yeah but I've heard they're going to be doing a live or orchestral two or two oh that I'm in I don't know if it's coming to town or not but I think that's what rust is referring to I heard about that a couple of weeks ago forgot to put on the run sheet um this Thomas Gibson thing it's getting weirder and weirder so she's what we know Thomas Gibson who I will always remember as Greg from Dharma and Greg he was directing an episode of criminal minds which he also stars in this year things got a little heated between him and an assistant like a lighter producer and he allegedly kicked them like physically kicked them he leaves the set apologizes they suspend him now he's fired he's on the show but now I read right before the show that he's now lawyered up so this isn't over sir and and seem like I read something that was connected to Shamar more getting like some some of his property stolen by somebody on that show I'm really I'm like what's with all the actual criminal activity on criminal mind it's well played well played sir like there's some actual freaking courtroom drama happening on that show HBO developing a biopic for drug lord Grisselda Blanco this takes place in the 80s if you're heard who's playing her Grisselno so are they basically trying to compete with Queen of the South this is going to be at like just like a biopic it's not going to be a series but I mean but it it sounds like it's the same stinking premise I'm like you know what I'm saying is look up a picture of this lady and go are they doing her a favor they're doing her a huge favor she's like 180 or something like look at the dude that money balls based on when they got Brad Pitt to play him have you heard this SNL deal this week no three people gone not of their own volition anybody if no we start with jod rednitsky I don't know if you remember he did a he did a bit on

interested in this for Empire season three I know one of them and I'm which one the Mimi all right Mariah carries one uh French Montana who's with the kids at the close in the hair but could I

back in the day never watch that show I know you were a huge fan I'm I'm awaiting the day it becomes available on on some kind of DVD or blue right it's not no wow I think there's some issues with some of the music rights they use on that show that's how usually works well I could guarantee I guarantee you it's not the theme song because that was food fighters and Dave girls not that dude so we have found out this week that the new new series Star Trek discovery which bows in January is going to have a female lead in it yeah I saw that so I'm interested in that and Amazon has green lit their

name to add asner moving on I love anime and the complete series of dead like me I think this is a show that you should really check out this was about six seven years ago oh I remember it was Jasmine guy Ellen mute was in this and they're all reaper they're like grim reapers wouldn't it like the the promo photo was the the hood of the grim reaper the blue gun yeah yeah and in the very first episode the way she dies apparently when you're when you're a grim reaper the way you die becomes your nickname as a reaper then she like have it like airplane there was a toilet seat okay so she's toilet seat the also we know it's check this show out this is one of this is your homework check out dead like me because I really think you did it how many seasons there run uh two or three now very many and that's the dog on chain all right let's talk personal ventrists POS stands for personal ventrists it is a segment we do on this show where we take a person or an entity and we debate their greatness or lack thereof as we are listening to the clubhouse podcast or one stop shop for all things pop culture personal ventrists belongs to me this week and I want to talk about something that happened right about a week ago right about this time it was the Hall of Fame we've heard about these stories all week long how badly this was handled apparently like even the league didn't tell people to the countdown clock war all the way down that it already bought souvenirs and concessions and I'm like oh yeah the game's not going to be played I want to give an altered it plan and I mentioned it the last week but I think we should talk about it a little deeper it's the Hall of Fame so you have people getting inducted you know do you see or you had Brett Favvara amongst the rank Marvin Harrison that's why the cults were going supposed to play the packers what would stop us from taking the Hall of Fame game and making it the proble I was wondering that myself because they're probably watched with equal amounts of enthusiasm you'd have to move it of course because you can't do the pro ball in August and you know I'm sure it's probably still pretty cold and acronym February but why couldn't we take the Hall of Fame move it not moving the actual Hall of Fame but move the game do it the same week and you do the draft okay and construct something in acronym that you can do because this whole traveling the draft failed bit last year failed bit that was from the stories I've read as soon as Chicago had their pick you could have fired a cannon through that place and I hit a soul oh I remember seeing the coverage of it and I'm like wow that place emptied out I've got I've got friends and relatives that live up there to like yeah this is the scene around here seems like a lot of money was spent for not a lot of a lot of investment not a lot of return on the investment why can't we just because it should be end of April snow should not be a problem in Ohio no it ought to be pretty dark on nice because August just about anywhere sucks yes be honest in this country we're almost halfway through it and I'm ready for Labor to Weekend for more than one reason and we're gonna talk about something that's gonna happen next month that has never happened in the history of the show coming up a little bit later but you know do it the same weekend as the draft maybe play it maybe go back to the whole weekend being the draft instead of doing round one on Thursday do the Probow on Thursday do round one maybe even round two on Friday and then you could still wrap it up on Saturday if you really wanted to so you honestly think doing the Probow on Thursday would be the best course of action rather than on Sunday you're gonna get the same ratings regardless of when you play because nobody's gonna watch anyway well but you're more likely to get in on a lazy Sunday than in the middle of the week but if you also put you know end of end of August or end of August end of April again you need to make the the Probow a flag game anyway they should they should not be tackling in the Probow no somebody's gonna break a hip play it as a flag game and I still don't mind the the school yard pickup thing they do I still think you should be NFC versus AFC especially if you're gonna do it at the whole fan but I think that's just a better way to do it it's gonna be beautiful out you know and if you're gonna do a game it's for the fans and I've said this a billion times don't do it in Hawaii that's not for the fans that's for the players let's just call it what it is because I don't know about you but I sure as hell can't afford to spend a few days in Hawaii in February talk about peak tourism season I love how they say it's a free vacation for the players yeah because they can't afford it otherwise anybody the players can the fans can't no no I'm just saying how they refer to it as a free vacation for the players I'm like really and they get kind of check for it so they're paying they're getting paid to do suck on that but I just just more of the disconnect because that thing last week was a debacle did you ever say I never got to look at the I didn't have to damage I'm pat back pat McAfee now has a podcast which is called the pat MacAfee show a comedy podcast for America is it America or America is wearing like a tank top that's the American flag and there's like an eagle superimposable ironed lords it's it's typical pat MacAfee he is really become your leader you know I'm a huge fan I'm a huge fan of MacAfee just because he's just he's so goofy he's fun the man owns a wrestling ring okay but we should hate the guy but you just oh no you can't hate MacAfee I want a MacAfee jersey I'm saying it right now I don't want a MacAfee they're not very cheap well I might have to go to if we got any members of the empire in indie that can go to like Walmart and give me one of those $30 or cult jerseys I will reimburse you I don't they don't have to be fully stitched but like you know you can get like $30 like cheap both jersey type things at Walmart even though they didn't happen for the dolphins when I was down there which was weird oh I just man this thing was such a debacle and and MacAfee really goes through he's like they told us we were they they knew an hour and a half before but they were not allowed to tweet they weren't allowed to do anything that's shady what were they what were they hoping for that everybody that just maybe the paint would drive I don't know are the paint would not be a gelatinous mess anymore I this was the weirdest thing to me it sounds so jerry jonesish and they said like Tim McGraw played a concert there like the week before and it was fine all the Tim McGraw paint is logo in the field oh I don't know but they said the center of the field it was so bad because apparently one of the problems was in astro turf they have he's like little pieces of rubber that work like soil right that they whatever they were rolling on the field was actually sucking all that up so it was just the turf and they said it was like coming on content that's a gather at a fell that's pretty stupid I get you for four months a year that's it and you know what I'm gonna say check McGee I agree with this has been the longest offseason I've lived through in years I know it feels like the it feels like the Super Bowl was like ages ago and it's it's absolutely driving me crazy thank god we had the Olympics this year because we got something to keep our minds occupied but just something to throw out there just think about it NFL and if you do it I'm not gonna take credit the logic is everybody will know that somebody's listening to the show but you won't you you won't take credit for because that wasn't gonna give you credit that's a fair point you'll want credit but you won't get it but let's I mean let's just just try and see what happens I mean you move the the Pro Bowl one year and that turned into a debacle because you decided to do it in Miami and February which is one of the worst rainy seasons of the year but let's just not even talk about that let's move on talk a little bit of Major League baseball Prince Fielder retiring this hard week after actually heartbreaking speech and everybody I've talked to anybody that didn't say it was a wonderful speech and the of course we talked about this couple is a weird thing same exact number of home runs as his old man wow how weird is that I've seen this due to house he's from your neck of the woods oh it's really yeah he was on some episode of I wanted the the cribs no I want to say it was the one on animal plant is it tanked oh this is he's two guys it build oh that will go so tanked thanks and he's he's got some crib like down in Florida that looked absolutely ridiculous and because my Marlons can't seem to catch a break Jean Carlos Stanton who we talked about last week he's out for the rest of the year with a great entry so there are biggest offensive weapon done it just kills me that I I had tickets to a Ranger game and it was scheduled for two days after Prince got hurt oh wow really and he has hands down my favorite play on the team probably for more than a couple of obvious reasons but like because you know you know we've relocated to that same neck of the woods where the what the stadium is and shortly after uh Jill's not relocated there we were going into um a Walmart and he was coming out of it oh really I mean walk right past it's not like that and she's like what you know I do you know you are sir totally freaked me out and he you could tell he was trying to like not be noticed he was he was very Prince Fielder well he you know he's he's wearing a you know a shirt that's at steel all the bases and and he had a Ranger cap on it as he walked at he kind of pulled it down over his face as he walked fast as all your bases are belong to I was like holy crap all right so let's talk standings shall we let's do we get over right screen here American week east Tampa Bay 47 in 69 not doing well they're 19 games back they're on a one game one streak though they are 13 and a half games back on the Yankees who now the Arada era is officially over they got to play third base for one out um really I thought they were going to let him do I know it happened and I want to say something to my beloved marlins I'm hearing chatter you leave that man alone oh they are not I'm hearing chatter oh please I am hearing chatter and it does not make me happy I will disown my beloved marlins if they sign him they will they will that day I'm saying it right now I will pull a rob with Terrell Owens and the cowboy's if they sign him and I may not turn back that that will be one of the worst mistakes they will ever make Yankees are four and a half back on Boston Boston is a game back on Baltimore Baltimore now within one of Toronto who is now has the lead in that division just recently because Toronto's one two straight and Baltimore's lost one in the central minnesota twins 24 games below five under sir yeah it's August you might want to win some things I'm just saying they're 21 and a half back they're four and six in their last 10 they are nine and a half games back on the shy socks who had a little bit of a tussle with my marlins this weekend Chicago a game back on the royals by the way the royals are now 11 back in the division remember they won the world series last year sir Kansas City is six back on Detroit Detroit now five back on Cleveland Cleveland is on a four game win streak they are seven and three in their last 10 if Cleveland stays on pace I'm going to put an over under right now in the month of September 72 is the over under for number of times that major league is shown wow I'm just saying I can't really argue with you in your particular division sir the AL West in the basement right now law the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Los Angeles County California American North America Earth Milky Way they are almost 20 games below 500 sir they they they are on a 10 game losing streak and it probably started right after they played the Rangers because they they won the game I was at 10 game losing streaks sir there's 16 games below 500 on the road and there are only three games above it at home I'm sorry no they're three games below 500 at home my bad they are 19 games back there three games back on Oakland Oakland is 11 and a half back on Houston Houston's a game and a half back on Seattle Seattle right now even though they're eight and two in their last 10 there's six games back on your Texas Rangers but this is about the time of year that you did Ranger fans start to get a little nervous every yeah not every year but more often than not let's go into what happened where's the rest of the which is where we're in a constant state of let's just wait for the other shooter drop in the NL West the Arizona Diamondbacks are 21 games below 500 they're 18 and a half back they are two back on San Diego San Diego's five and a half back on Colorado Colorado now 10 back on Misty's beloved Dodgers the Dodgers are a game back on the Giants right now so a lot going on there in California in the NL Central Cincinnati they are 20 games below 525 and a half back they are four back on Millawoke Millawoke 7 back on Don's beloved Pittsburgh Pirates Pittsburgh a game and a half back on John's beloved St. Louis Cardinals and St.

Louis now 13 back on the Cubs the Cubs when they lost earlier today that ended a nine game win streak for the Cubs friend of the show Marcus Blake a big Cubs fan again this is the time where Cubs fans starts to get a little nervous too and in the only division that matters the NL East you sure about that you always say that are you sure if it's only on the matters to me I will I will be a brave fan until I die okay which might be sooner rather than later at this rate 30 games below 500 there's 26 games back you understand that means if they go out of 26 game win streak they might be close to first they need a 52 game swing to to take first place in the division right now realistically I don't think that's gonna happen well because we've only got like 45 games left in the season team makes me want to drink they're 12 and a half back on Filly four games back on the Metz the Metz are two games back on for who is now my beloved marwin's but the marwin's now eight and a half back on the nationals the nationals are killing it right now all right take a deep breath what is going on here people doing some math doing some math doing some math I think we may America's favorite game show maybe back intact as I'm looking through numbers yeah it is by a long shot all right let's do America's favorite game show what is the run differential for the land of race was I in the bathroom just now where at the bottom of the wall that affects a little too hard on that Chad 124 all right Russ we're gonna wait for you in the chat room and jules or wait for you as well Chad says minus 124 as the run differential for the Atlanta Braves we used to be good we really did like we used to be somebody consistently it wasn't like it was fluky this team is terrible this king this this team is the they are the Charles Barkley of major league baseball because the terrible it's a bunch of knuckleheads the Atlanta Braves 44 and 74 we have a win percentage of 373 Russ says minus 112 or 18 and 39 at home sir wow we have over twice as many losses at home as we have wins on the road 26 35 at least we're closer yeah on the road we've lost two in a row I can't wait for road games where we're 500 in our last 10 Chad you were closest without knowing over the run differential for the Atlanta Braves minus 136 wow it was across the 130 mark get it together Atlanta you're killing me small I don't have a lot of stress in my life you really don't need to let that bother you as much as it does but how can you let the team be this bad how can you do how can you wake up in the morning and go you know what I'm good because if you didn't we'd be winning games because Jerry Jones has been doing it for 20 years so I don't let it bother me anymore but because I know there's nothing I can do but she's

back in 2020 he's done honestly i hope he means it a lot of people are saying me look at it i mean you hate to say dude he's 31 but i mean to to me when the when the swimming competition start it kind of gets to be a little tiresome but see i haven't watched all of the covers well i just it's like my wife has been all about it i mean and i and i know you know i've got no room to talk because like you literally watched him compete in one event and then 30 minutes later get right back in the pool to compete again yeah and i know no one's holding a gun to his head and making him do it but no wonder his metal counts so high because you're yeah but you've got 23 of them are gold but i'm but i'm just saying you know if you're the best at what you do then when you've got six or seven events a day that you can compete in six six out of seven yeah those are gold metal i mean that's a lot of them present but he's he's starting to be not so humble about it did you see the picture of when they were in um it was like i want to see it was like 2008 where he was posing with one of the kids from north carers from from south caria he was like posing with him as a fan and that kid beat him in one of the events wow that's pretty neat my favorite picture right now that was the picture of him and Simone Biles yeah yeah because i suppose somebody's a little tall and somebody's not i posted that one and i put my own caption i said giants come in many sides but yeah i did see that Simone Biles killing it and i am killing and she's got a chance for two more and i am so proud to say that i actually have a personal connection with that girl really yes please do tell i have no worth it i thought i posted this uh when i posted that picture um uh i served in the united states navy issued it with a gentleman named William Biles that her father that's her cousin okay fair enough but he live in Vegas wow he's that's his cousin that's awesome he actually reached out to me a couple weeks ago you follow my cousin i'm like who's your cousin he goes Simone i'm like someone but that's your cousin that's pretty dope dude he's like oh yeah we're all we're all psyched i'm like well no kidding she's only the best in the world uh Serena and Venus Williams both out a lot sooner than we're connected yeah uh australia not only France but australia both giving the US men's basketball teams a run the women in and then there was the debacle from friday i actually watched the entire second half of the women's uh match against uh the women's soccer match against Sweden and i watched the first extra time you lost the match yeah that's not called cowardly that's just called well i but no like it's got what what hope was saying and i'm not defending what hopes all those said by any stretch but it's what she was saying is they they were pretty much just they were they were been doing a victory formation to get to the extra time they weren't really pressing the ball as much as they could have yeah you protect your lead well it was tied well um and and they've done the same thing yeah you know then she goes out on twitter and just says yeah i'm not good at losing losing sucks that doesn't excuse you being an idiot no you're better than us and you you need to be setting a better example and then you had this your image is skating on thin i said the Swedish coach who used to be the american coach who apparently has had issues with both hopes solo and i don't i never remember that got the girl that got the hat trick in the caraly Lloyd and called both of them uncutable one point i love that what the what the coach said what tweens coach said when they said what do you know what your reaction she goes i don't care she's going home i'm staying in real or they're going ahead of the beach i'll let's talk about some crazy stories from these a language because we said going in there was going to be a lot of instability uh my favorite story so far and i'm not even going to bury the lever to say over the top the kayaking story all those poor your eye acting down a river and you hit a sofa you hit a sofa that we we can't vet the lake we can't run the river bulls sonar and go hey there's furniture under the water we've seen the water condition in this country we talked about this is so far exactly no one of the many reasons why they were not ready for this deadgum thing we had the silver judo medalist who was mugged and robbed after the ceremony for the love of god not in here about this and there was a joke told about that today that i will not repeat which ask me after the show it was not by me uh guy broke his leg in one of the events and the paramedics drop him on the way the ambulance um lily king shut your yapp what is this this is the girl that's ragging on everybody saying that if you've ever been pops for drugs the swimmer that you should you should not be allowed back in ever let me say something hunt you had better not even taken a sprint for the rest of your life because if there's this little eady bitty amount that you test positive for you are going to just get destroyed and get fired everybody so shut it yeah that'll start done won't be none and you've got the other girl whose name escapes me who's killing it too and she they're they're wondering if she's she's got a full ride to stand for she's 19 Katie let that get yeah that you know they're they're wondering is she just gonna go pro or is she going to you know stay in college I would hope she would probably stay in college so she's got something to fall back on once she's done the rest mentions Ryan locked in two other american swimmers robbed in a taxi this morning Australians athletes are being banned from even going to the beach to avoid incidents all the injuries in the cycling events oh my god down bad one the dream team winding up at a brothel three members of the team that they were going to a spa wound up in a brothel and somebody's like don't they have a spa on the boat they're hanging sure was it I'm just saying this is what I'm reporting uh the diving pool turning green yes which then turned the water polo pool green because they didn't have enough of the right chemical and see a limpace again you are not ready you weren't ready you never got ready you weren't ever close to being ready quote from Tom Griswald how great would it be if somebody had just peed in the pool and turned it full clean not that's so sure actually how to pop up a couple of you on social media say that too the media shuttles you hear about this on Thursday no the media show gets hit by gunfire on the way to the game oh my god members of the media suffering laceration's they're lucky that's all they got I can't make this stuff up we knew this was coming I mean it was enduring fencing a fence or dropped his phone during the match dropped his phone his phone was in his pocket of his fencing uniform dropped out during the match this is a mess there are such great stories in these Olympics that are getting overshadowed by crap literally in some cases see I caught the pun before it could get too far away from uh we have such amazing stories coming out of these Olympics and and everything that everybody talks about is all the horrible things and our granted we have not hit my over under for international incidents yet thank god but we're only halfway there kids yeah when are the closing ceremony uh next week I hope it's not the same not as summer so I'm hoping that it can close on us I want to say it's going to be like Monday or Tuesday okay let me should probably google that real quick just to be sure because god knows I've been wrong before I love how how a local news outlet put up a stat about how many metals Texans have won yeah I do like that and it eclipses like certain some countries it does like some major players at that too I'm waiting for a Google to come back uh not to tune our own horn much but I did buy that pretty darn funny they started last Monday um closing ceremonies are next Sunday night during some sorry about that sir give it so there's that second mayor they're going to replay it at least twice before 430 in the morning all right deep breath because we got to go to into uh in memoriam because we've got three huge ones this week last week we didn't mention this because we weren't exactly sure what had happened but NASCAR race or Brian Klauson got into a wreck during the race and passed away last Monday morning at 27 mm apparently it wasn't a major major wreck but it was just one of those things freaky incident uh totally rattled the entire NASCAR community um I mean because I read something about it like they had mentioned it but it wasn't it was very general terms um I'm trying to pull this up right now so we can see it I also read that he was an organ donor that apparently he's his because of that he's already saved four lives wow oh there it is it was pulling it up right now I'm sorry I spilled it wrong it's born June 15th 1989 sir that was like the week before I went into the navy competed in 200 races including the Indy 500 so he even did some open wheel stuff too it's born in Sacramento California uh basically races whole life and the NASCAR Xfinity series he ran 26 races over two years he ran three races in Indy car as well had two top 10s in the Xfinity series he had one one pole uh he was 0 and 0 in Indy car three time USAC national midget series champion three time USAC national drivers champion two time turkey night grand pre winner two time USAC national sprint car series champion non-winged driver of the year in 2013 one of the up and coming rising stars out there our deepest go out to him and his family also ESPN loses a huge giant John Saunders at 61 for those of you that don't know much about John Saunders he was actually Canadian not a lot of people knew that but if you ever heard them talk hockey the only person on that network that knows more about hockey than him it's Melrose I've heard story after story after story about John Saunders and how the consummate professional Jay Donday tells a story about was Jay or is really on a remember tells a story about how in his ear he was doing some coverage and they told him the throat of Saunders but they wanted him to finish his thoughts but he didn't realize that so he just threw it to Saunders and Saunders wasn't ready but just that quick he was back on God all star defenseman in the Montreal junior leagues really the scholarship and played hockey at Western Michigan from 74 to 76 and you look at the guy and you would never guess in a hundred years he even played hockey much less than he was much as he did his brother also played what a hockey at Western Michigan with him attended high school in Montreal played for played hockey at the University of Ryerson University from 76 to 78 and then he went into broadcast joined ESPN in 1986 when did they go in the air? 79 okay hosted the sports reporters he also did some NFL prime time work a lot of college football in 2008 he was hosting the 7pm a sports center during the NFL season he was also the he did the television play by play from the for the Toronto Raptors from 99 to 201 and it seemed like I also read that he had just recently signed like a long-term extension with ESPN.

Founding board member of the Jimmy V foundation and I do not know even at this point because the Wikipedia doesn't say for sure but we still don't know what he passed away. I don't know a COD yet Russ said he was actually watching Hannah Storm and she just couldn't announce anything but we lost Stewart Scott last year we lose John Saunders this year you know Tom Jackson and Chris Burman are retiring this year. Bob Lee I think has retired because I haven't even seen him outside the lines lately.

Bob Lee and Chris Burman were the only day one is left on ESPN. John dropping and then yesterday for those of you that don't know a lot about Chad and I and yes the Star Wars thing is the Star Wars thing but a dear friend of ours is one Peter Mayhew the man who played Chewbacca and almost all the Star Wars films half of the last one. We love the Mayhews we're such fans of them and kind of a little bit of a heartwarming I don't know if I told you this but friend of the show Jen Rome sent me a Facebook message because I haven't seen Peter and Jean forever.

Yeah he was at a show last weekend she was there apparently she dropped my name and they just lit up and we're like oh yeah he didn't come up here and I haven't picked her with us. Oh gosh and that made me feel so good. His best friend which you know when you think about it Peter Mayhew 7274 depending on what convenience store he's leaving.

His best friend was Kenny Baker who played R2D2. Who three foot six maybe like he literally fit inside R2D2. Kenny Baker passes away yesterday at the age of it was a 81 that was 80 don't want to say it was 80.

I thought I saw 81 but it got clear to 80. Yeah let's just put it that way. All accounts I never got to meet him but I did buy all accounts quality human being.

Some of the artwork that has come out in the last 24 hours has astounded me. A friend of mine actually put on Facebook a picture of the autograph he got from Kenny Baker and that just I mean you've met him so I mean you can speak to more of this and I can oh he's he's one of the nicest most accommodating people you'll ever want to meet it. It was it was troubling to me that I'd heard about his health getting getting worse and worse like he couldn't make the premiere for episode seven.

He'd been pretty much a wheelchair bound and his lungs are really in that shape and I was like this is not good. I just when when I heard about him not being able to make the premiere I'm like that we're we're probably going to do a countdown on him. So I was just fearing the worst one.

Our deepest go to Kenny's family. Our deepest go to the Mayhew sweet sweet man. He will be horribly horribly missed.

Okay let us get the wheels back on as we talk to me and I fell talk. The preseason is on sir don't really know if it's the best way to put it with the wheels back on some scores from the weekend by the way first episode of hard knocks aired this past week. I had to wait a couple of days to watch it because I had my DVR set.

We were good to go. Oh did I mention I recorded it on HBO Latino. So that did not go well for me.

Yeah. Captions. Well I only had to wait another day but it's the rams this year and you know how like when you watch hard knocks and you're like dude see my dual man make a little noise this year.

No. Jeff Fisher's got a long road for his first year back and because you know he played for them when they were in LA. Yeah.

I think that came up yesterday. Almost had their first preseason loss last night and then the cowboys remembered they were the cowboys in the fourth quarter. A good buddy of mine actually had a post up like and I think he did it at the end of the third quarter.

How excited he was man this is the first road to the 17. No. And then he's coming right below.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

And that's not what damn press got looks good. Yeah he did. Cowboy fans can breathe a little bit easier at the quarterback position if Tony Roma goes down.

Any problem. He all press got looks good. I can't I can't deny that.

Yeah. But they lose 28.24. Right now San Francisco in the second quarter is up 10.7 on Houston.

Other scores around the league this weekend. Atlanta over the Washington football team 23 to 17. My Tampa Bay bucket here's 17 to nine to Phil's Philadelphia Eagles.

The Patriots 34 22 over the New Orleans Saints. The jets get a win over Jacksonville 17 to 13 Carolina goes down to Baltimore by a field goal. And let me get something out about this whole Carolina thing.

Carolina intercepts the ball runs it back for a touchdown. Cam new ton gets a little happy on the sidelines. The touchdown gets called back because for excessive whatever excessive silver.

Don't give him crap about this. It's the preseason. He knows better now.

But it means it's fight through it. It means nothing. Let's see.

Chicago decides they're going to host Denver and lose 22 to nothing. The dolphins. My dolphins baby.

What happened to your cowboys is the exact opposite of what happened to my dog. Really. They were on the giving end of the thriving.

27 to 10 but it came back to do it. Struggled early but one big. 30 to 17 to Troy beats Don's Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Bengals lose by a point to the Vikings Green Bay 17 11 over the Browns. Big beating of the Arizona Cardinals by the Oakland Raiders. Raiders win 31 to 10.

Seattle gets a squeaker. 1 point over Kansas City 17 to 16. The Indianapolis Colts also squeak went out at Buffalo 19 to 18 and Tennessee over San Diego 27 to 10.

We're a quarter of the way to the regular season. That's all I'm saying. And we're at less than three weeks from college.

And what two weeks away from the release of the next Madden video game. You're a guy. I really don't know.

I'm really don't care. I'm just happy the football's back. You've got a great system for it.

That's what really sad. This is, this is the, I'm to the point I've been so starved that I was almost tempted to watch preseason this weekend. And you know how I feel about preseason football.

Yes, it's big and of having Madden games like I used to be so starved that I would look up the schedule of the opening of the season opener and put those two teams together and just sit back and watch Madden play against itself. Because it was getting to look so good. I'm like, I can fake it.

Oh, ready for my ball. You have to hold on. I did it again.

What'd you do to my pets in the other room? And you enjoy the music. Who the heck am I supposed to vamp with?

They're having technical difficulties. Please stand by. They're having, we're having a mental breakdown is what we're having.

We're counting down the seconds. We got to put, you're going to have to put that thing on like on a chain on your wrist like like a, like a briefcase. Yeah, but it's hardly the first time ever.

What's this? The first time ever. But I think I've been doing really well.

All right. Let me pull up my notes. Because it's time to talk pro wrestling.

We're in a heck of a delay because I just walked into the living room. Well, hello Jasper. Is the first time Jasper's ever been on the show?

I think. Really? Hundreds usually the one that didn't hear.

One of the battle cats usually the one that here running this. Yeah, but today it's Jasper. He's waiting on his mommy to get home.

All right, big news when the world of professional wrestling this week. Joey Styles gone. A lot of people think there might be some heat there.

Apparently he did an interview last a week ago Friday and let some things fly that WWE led to maybe his firing because the interview was gone the day later. Ooh. So, right back and talks with New Japan pro wrestling.

You know that he's getting 4,500 bucks on a parent's for independent fees. Really? That guy?

And if the promoter doesn't have a good reputation. 5 grand. Okay.

And we found out this week the cruiser weight title is returning to raw. Because raw is going to be the home of the cruiser weights. Which makes me wonder what are we going to do?

What is SmackDown going to have that raw doesn't? Because that seems like an unbalanced scale. Are we going to have a hardcore title on the raw?

Or it's just going to give Stephanie something else to brag about. So talking about raw a little bit. You know, Jericho still gets it right everyone's in again.

He referred to to Enzo as a hip hop rabbit. I'm sorry, a hip hop hobbit. Interesting when Seth Rollins was in the ring.

He tried to get a cheap pop to get people to boo Roman and they didn't. Yeah. The shot was not as cheered as I thought it was going to be.

And Cole wanted to new word this week. He said that the bodily boys did a move and they said it was classic deadly boys. Cole learned a new word.

I'm proud of the man. Your tongue is about to poke through your cheek. And you did see that we had the Russev Lana reenacting of their wedding.

Oh, a cake fast 2016. Direct quote from Michael Cole. This could be the first time we celebrate a wedding after it happened.

Well, you kind of did one after the first half in 20 years ago. I'm not just saying. Maybe want to check the record books, Michael Cole.

Will you marry me after you've already divorced me? And you know, you should look at this isn't binding. And anyway, please don't this isn't binding.

And I'm not sure, but I could have sworn I heard want to say they were going to recite their marriage vowels. I was in front of the stove at the time. I'm like the heck did she look at so I'm not the only one.

Yeah, I was like, but it what? I was so say Jack walks out. I was so confused.

I was so sure she said vowels either. I'm like, no, no, no. And am I not paying enough attention or did Roman Reigns' beard grow really fast?

That hmm. Maybe he normally grooms it and he just decided not to groom it as well. I was like, got kind of lumberjacky for a quick kind of wiring and unruly as he just going for a crazy run.

I guess we found out how to get him back over. Because that pop was huge. I'm telling you that's I figured that's what I said it last week.

And I'll say it again. Maybe just maybe the US title is where he needs to be. And you can work him back into the world title picture, but I'm sorry, the universal championship figure.

You puke in your mouth a little bit a little every time you say that. I just want to hear it say. Well, I mean, what could their parent company is?

What could it be? She's parent company is. Yeah, I didn't even think about it.

I just realized that just now. And Peep of Diddy Daddy is the executive music producer for 2K 17. Actually, actually wouldn't that wouldn't that be the Comcast title rather than the universal title because they own the whole ball of wax.

Yeah, but still it's a parent company of the parent company. Yeah, but still. Yeah, what was the purpose of that?

Because he's the executive music producer for the video game. Because he was, I know that you and I were talking about this is going to be a beating. He was on that episode of raw for all of about 97.

They probably cut him a check for 15 million dollars. Do you see there's a power shift at TNA? No, Billy Corrigan is now the president of TNA replacing Dixie Carter really running day-to-day operations.

This came down Friday. How do you go from? Running a slip-shot wrestling organization that is like watching a dumpster fire rage out of control.

Well, you saw that they're getting the king of the mountain title now gone. No, didn't. Lastly, he has now merged it with the world title.

It will be called the TNA grand championship and their treating championship matches like MMA where they'll be judged rounds and I might do. Oh, for the love of God. I almost cursed.

That's why I almost cursed. Have you ever seen somebody try to throw an anchor underwater? That is what's going on here.

Today, the day in real underwater shot put. That's TNA! I mean, if you listen to the show a couple of weeks ago when we were doing battleground and Steven Zimmerman front of the show was out of town and at his hotel he was able to get a TV that got impact on him.

He texted me that night and went dude. This really is that bad. And he was a TNA proponent.

Yeah, he was a mark. He kept me involved in the TNA and he's I can't even, I can't even make excuses for this. You can't defend this trick.

It's horrible. But did you see who debuted this week in TNA? No.

Aaron Rex. Who? You might know him as Damian Sandow.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good luck with that, D.

And Frenchy has said that WrestleMania may be his last match. Because what better match to retire on than Shaquilla? Come on, Frenchy, you're better than that.

You're my boy! God. This industry makes me want to drink come down.

SmackDown notes. I have now determined that he slater is the Danny McBride of the WWE. Just, I will do anything for the network.

Kind of guy? No. You look at Danny McBride's characters.

Like Eastbound and down and vice-principals. That's he slater. And I thought I would do a count of the bad metaphors that moral renal uses, but that would just be exhausting.

Oh, nobody has that kind of time. We'd have to do a special edition special edition. Like you know, because I used to do the counts of brothers and dudes that Hogan used to do.

At least that was phenomenal. Yeah, it was funny. It was a deal with a great drinking game.

The weird thing is if you go back and you watch his work with Showtime Boxing and Showtime MMA, he still did the radio vomiting thing, but it was good. This just isn't the fit from, this isn't a fit for me. No.

Maybe I'm in the minority and maybe he's testing through the roof, but not in my house. He's not. But I'm telling you, I don't know what is the lesser of two evils between him and heal wrestler announcer guy on Corey Graves.

I get Corey Graves is another one. When he's not heal announcer guy, Corey Graves has great. He's great.

He's good. When they were just doing pre-shows on the paper views, I'm like, I can totally get behind this guy, but it's so forced and so unneeded. I've hated JBL doing it for years.

I never liked it when Lawler did it. The commentators don't need to pick a side. Back in the day, it worked because it was what it was.

That's just move on to movie talks. I can bring my blood pressure down. Let's talk box office numbers, dropping out of the top 10 this week.

We have three films drop out of the top 10 this week, nerve after one and a half weeks has already dropped out of the top 10. And I'm interested in this film. It drops from 8 to 11, 2.7 million dollars, three weeks, 33.1 million dollars probably going to be okay.

Ghostbusters drops from nine to 12. They are predicting a $70 million loss on it. But they're still talking secretly.

No, no, no, no, no one likely. Really? Yes.

Okay. This week, 2.3 million dollars. Five weeks, 121.7 million, 144 million dollar budget.

But when you put all the other stuff together, that's probably where the 70 million comes in. Yeah, the 50, the rule of 50. And I sage collision course drops from 10 to 13 this week.

It's 58 million four weeks. That's barely half of its budget. But again, I think internationally, it's going to carry it.

Yeah, 305 million worldwide, you're going to get another one. That's going to have these. Dropping from 7 to 10 this week, a movie that where I was talking to Shannon's parents this week, I'm like a touch of what they were in town.

They loved lights out. Said it was a genuinely scary movie. I've heard good things.

And not your wheelhouse. 3.2 million dollars, 4 weeks, 61.1 million dollars, 4.9 million dollar budget. They're going to be okay.

Nine lives drops from 6 to 9 this week. Honestly, God thought that was going to be one of the ones that you said it was going to drop out of the top 10. 3.5 million dollars, a 44% drop off.

Two weeks, 13.6 million dollars. Florence Foster Jenkins, they've used an eighth place, 6.5 million dollars. I do not have a budget on that.

Start track beyond drops from 5 to 7, 6.8 million dollars, 4 weeks, 139.7 million dollars, 185 million dollar budget. They could be crawling across the finish. And I enjoyed this film.

Yes, 71 million international, 211.3 worldwide. So you're still probably at least 20 to 30 million from from being in the black. That's a shame.

Secret life of pet drops from 4 to 6 with 8.8 million dollars, 6 weeks, 335.9 million dollars. You don't know what you've seen this? I haven't seen it yet.

My sister saw it. She loved it. I haven't been talking to anybody that didn't love it because you're getting a sequel.

75 million dollars. I'm unbelievable. Bad moms drops from the bronze medal, the fifth place this week, 11.5 million dollars, 3 weeks, 71.5 million dollars on a 20 million dollar budget.

Not bad. Jason Bourne drops from Silver to Ford this week, 13.6 million, 3 weeks, 126.8 on 120. How is it?

You just loved this one. Day viewing in the bronze medal this week and I'm a little worried Pete's Dragon. Yeah.

Or as we like to call it, iTunes exclusive number 227. 21.5 million dollars. 65 million dollar budget.

Go see this movie. Please do. Day viewing in the silver medal position this week.

So did not win the weekend. But sausage party comes in second. 33.6 million dollars.

Did you see the budget on this? No. 19 million.

Really? And that thing had a long development cycle. That thing was like in developmental health for like a decade and winning the weekend with a 67.3% drop at the box office.

Yeah. This is what we were talking about. Suicide Squad does win for the second weekend in a row.

But our question was how was it going to hold up in the second weekend? Because it really, I mean sausage party would be the only thing that I think would challenge it. But it still can be two separate audiences.

43.7 million two weeks, 222.9 million dollars. 175 million. I wish I still wonder if this film would have been better served if it came out after Justice League.

At the beginning of the summer, rather than the end? No, after Justice League. Oh, after Justice League.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

That this this film might have been better served after Justice League. Because then you could have introduced some of the characters in Justice League. Yeah.

But we might have to do an entirely different discussion on this film another day. Yeah. All right.

Let's get into the movie headlines. The guy, if does it any Andrew Adamson? I mean anything to you.

Andrew Adamson. Sounds like a director. He is a director.

Director of the first two Narnia films. Okay. He will be handling the live action curious George for Universal.

Is this a property that we need? Hey, they did pattington. They've done that.

That was lightning in the bottom. I'm just saying there's no way that I'm saying it right now. There's no way that they can pattington curious George.

They've done pattington. They've done the little prints. It's like everything old is new again.

Oh, and then we know that. So I don't see why not. I mean, you could take a swing at it.

Whether or not it succeeds is anybody's guess, but you can't blame it for trying it. Warner announces that the man of steel sequel is back on because they're desperate to try to write that ship apparently, which they should call spoiler alert. I wonder how many people are screaming spoiler alert right now because they saw BVS and live in a cave.

And that's what drove me nuts about the Justice League footage they showed at San Diego. It was like you didn't show Clark at all, but you put him in the group picture. Yeah, morons.

Probably would have been better if it was just a silhouette or something or just something without us. We talked about the Rihanna earlier. She and Anne Hathaway have joined the cast of the All-Female Ocean's Eight.

And Hathaway. So you know, I'll see it. We found out that the villain for Aquaman will be Black Manta.

Makes sense. And did you see who's now announced that he wants the role? And I'm totally on board.

And if they don't get this guy, they'd better get somebody pretty much more awesomeer. Michael, Jai, White. Oh, heck yeah, as Black Manta, are you kidding me?

I could just hear him underneath that mask too. Oh my god, that would be amazing. And he's got the fighting skills.

And he's been in the DC universe before. Enough with the cloud. Dude, yeah, I'm do this.

Yeah, do this Warner Bros. And speaking of your Aquaman Jason Mo Moa in talks to play the crow in the remake. Does this interest you?

I don't know. I mean, I mean, Alex Proyus has said there's only one crow. Yeah, I mean, which I get it for, but you know what, you directed the film.

So you've got a bit of a bias. But Mo Moa, I'm, I am unpredictably intrigued by this. I mean, I'm assuming we're going back and telling the Eric Draven story again, or are they going with different, but I haven't heard either way.

Does the other two crow films were involving completely different characters. It was not engraving at all. The TV series did, right?

And which by the, I'm in on this. You know what that guy was, right? It's bad.

The guy that played him on the TV series. He's your guy. He's the, the chairman on Iron Chef U.S.

Oh, that's what somebody did tell me that. He's Mr. Alec cuisine.

He was, he was the girl. He was in that brotherhood of the wolf film back in the 90s. Brad Pitt once David Fincher for the World War Z sequel.

Okay. So I'll get ready for a lot of rain. If that happens, ready for, get ready for a World War Z to look like the sequel to seven.

The lovely and talented Mrs. Irvin has returned from her road trip. So she is home safely.

I thought she was going to poke her head in here. No, she's going the other way. She's got to put down her back and stuff.

Okay. Uh, do you need an interview with the vampire remake? I liked the first one.

I wish they could have done more with the follow-ups. Could I interest you more if was thought is played by Jared Leto? Really, that works.

A rock star vampire. That works. Hey, just saying that's out there.

And I'm sure my daughter just had a nuclear meltdown for assuming she listens to the show. Wow. If she knows about this, she's probably losing her mind.

The Scarface remake now has a director. His name is Antoine Fuqua. Okay.

And remember, this is going to be more about the Mexican drug cartels. Okay. Because remember, the original Scarface had nothing to do with the remake that Pacino was in.

Right. So, I mean, you can you can change the story because they've already done it. Yeah.

Bad boys three now titled Bad Boys for Life. Now, push back to 2018. January of 2018.

Not a good sign. Oh, no. No, sir.

But you saw what also the January release next year is this return of Xander Cage. So, that tells you everything you need to know. Yeah.

Because that trailer looks terrible. I think I think at this point though, anything can happen. Okay.

So, good news, bad news situation. Okay. When Captain Marvel gets me, which we know who now is being played by Brie Larson, which when you look at this iteration of Captain Marvel, it kind of makes sense.

I love that picture for my cramming the book into her face while she's sitting on her couch. They're changing the origin story. Okay.

Because they don't want it to have any green lantern comparisons. Which makes sense. I understand.

I'm okay with this. Yeah. That's understandable.

So, because it's easy to do that. Exactly. Of the young Han Solo trilogy is now casting for Lando Calarician.

Interesting rumors. I am hearing of Donald Glover. Make this happen.

Wow. Make this happen. I don't ask a lot in this life.

Hashtag Donald Glover for Lando Calarician. Now we officially have the Kyle Chandler rumor official to play cable in Deadpool 2. Kyle Chandler.

Isn't that the guy from lights out? I don't know. You're going to make me look like this.

I thought he was on the walking dead, too. I was good thing I liked this song. I really feel like I shouldn't know this.

Oh, that's not who I thought it was. He's in the wolf of Wall Street, he was in zero dark 30. Oh, he was a coach on Friday night life.

Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He's right about this one.

He was in he was the. So, who am I thinking of? He was the cheesy silent film star in Peter Jackson's King Kong.

I'm thinking of the guy from Don't Breathe. That's Stephen Lang. Yeah.

I'm thinking of Stephen Lang. I think he would be a better better. Oh, yeah.

He was the one that was campaigning for it. Yeah. He was in Avatar.

Mick G wants his next film to be the reboot of Masters of the Universe. Mick G needs to sit down. I like Mick G.

I like Mick G 20 years ago. Stop it. Let's talk about moving new releases in places.

You get movie new releases this week. Ben Hur get ready. No.

Get ready. No. No.

No. Okay. No.

War dogs this week. And you're out on this. I'm intrigued by this movie with Miles Teller and Jonah Hill, where they turn into the youngest war weapons dealers in history.

This seems incredibly predictable. See, like we've seen it a dozen. Coobo in the two strings, which will be screening this week.

Very excited about this. That looks good. Imperium.

You saw brief images from this trailer. This is Daniel Radcliffe, where he plays a federal agent that goes undercover in a ring of Neo Nazi skinheads. Good Lord.

This trailer looks going to be a polarizing film, you think? I mean, just slightly watch the trailer after the show. Okay.

The trailer looks really, really, really good. Okay. And this thing and he's not the only person whose name you would know in this.

Let me pull it up for you. Of course, I was not prepared because I never am. D.

D. D. D.

D. D. D.

D. I just like Tony Colette is in this. Okay.

Let's see who else. I can get this into scroll. Tracy Letts.

That's a name I recognize. Sam Tramel is in this. Hello, son.

Apparently one of your cats wants to be involved. Come here on a face. Also Kings Glade, Final Fantasy 15.

I saw the trailer for this. It doesn't look bad. It looks like I'm going to be a lot of fun.

Yeah, but we've gone down this road with Final Fantasy before and it didn't end well with spirits. But this one looks does this one's more medieval. This one looks kind of cool.

So also Morris from America. This was a movie that was screened at the Dallas International Film Festival this year. I did not get to see it.

It's got Craig Robinson in it. Basically, it's about the romantic and coming age of misadventures of a 13 year old American living in Germany. He's a young kid in school and he kind of brings hip hop to his friends.

It looks really cute. I just didn't get to see it at the Dallas International Film Festival this year. And have you seen this thing for a tale of love and darkness?

No. Written, directed, and starring, or actually screenplay because it's based on a book. Screenplay Written, directed, and starring, Natalie Portman.

Really? Let me get to the official. This story of his youth set against the backdrop of the end of the British mandate for Palestine in the early years of the state of Israel.

The film details a young man's relationship with his mother and his beginnings as a writer while looking at what happens when the stories we tell become the stories we live. She speaks the native tongue. Yeah, she was born in Jerusalem, completely subtitled.

Basically, she protects him from the horrors of war by helping him imagine stories about things that are going on around them. It's pretty intense, dude. Wow.

Looks really, really good. She kind of getting back into black swan territory. A little bit, a little bit.

DVD and blue and new releases in places should get DVD and blue right new releases this week. The Angry Birds movie. Wow, that came in quickly.

Mercifully so. God's not dead too. I have the first one on my DVR.

I haven't watched it yet. Better get you better get better get you checkbook ready for Tuesday. Little thing I like to call Raiders.

The story of the greatest fan of film ever made. Finally. Yes, sir.

If you have not seen this documentary, I don't care who you are. I don't care where you come from. I don't care who your mom is.

Go to your local store and buy this blue right or DVD on Tuesday. It's called Raiders. The story of the greatest fan film ever made.

We saw this last year at the Dallas International Film Festival. It is amazing. And these guys need support and pick up a copy of bad kid begins while you're at it.

Yes, basically three guys in the 80s as kids spent six summers doing a shot by shot video remake of Raiders of the Lost Arc. And the story behind it and they go back to film the one scene they didn't get to film as adults. You'll laugh.

You'll cry. It'll break your heart. It'll lift your spirits.

Go see this documentary. This is the textbook definition of chasing a dream. And it's wonderfully done.

It's wonderfully told. And in the last 10 minutes, don't move. Yeah.

It's all we're saying. Also this week, I am JFK Jr, which was a documentary that aired recently. I believe Spike was carrying this.

You also want to get this checkbook ready, Chad. Shark and Stein. It's DVD and blue right this week.

That'd be a crytarian collection does in Ingrid Bergman in her own words, which aired on HBO earlier this year. And now this last one, I'm deadly serious. Get your checkbook ready.

Because a movie you've been waiting for hits at least DVD if not blue right this week. Okay. The ladies of the house.

Oh, finally like this week. So shout out to our friend, John Wildman, who we've had on the show many many times. He has been working tirelessly to get this thing down.

Also want to send a shot out to the John and his wife, Justina. They're doing the Texas women's film festival. Yes, this coming weekend.

And we want to wish them all the luck in the world. We're looking very much looking forward to how that goes. We're having a big party disco in Donuts to open the festival.

Got some great movies out there. A friend of the show, Devon Pike. It's helping them out.

So we want to shout out to Devon as well. Check them out this weekend at the Texas Women of Texas Film Festival. So I make sure we see a hello to them.

Uh, tech corner this week. Real quick. Who Lou is now pay only?

Really? Yes. 799 a month for to just be on there with commercials.

I think it's like 999 without commercials. So you may as well spring for the extra two bucks. Any other tech corner stuff you have this week?

There's been a glut of like HD remakes of like classic 16 bits. Yeah, I saw you, I saw you pose that today. Be careful with that one.

Uh, you're some of the golden eye thing. Mm-hmm. Look score just, I had a buddy of mine who clicked the link and his anti-virus and anti-malware would not.

Really? Yes. So be very, very careful with that.

I've already, it's it's already installed and running. Okay. It requires you to have something you got to run it through steam.

So you know it's legit. Right. Uh, and you have to have something that uses that source engine.

So something like half life, half life to team fortress or something. It requires that to be installed on your computer to run it. Okay.

Uh, so it's basically just a mod conversion for that game. And it is mind blowingly gorgeous. Uh, recently, uh, they did a a PC remake of the Game Boy Classic sequel to Metroid Metroid 2.

I remember it and Nintendo quickly clamped down on them and hasn't removed it. Oh, really? Yeah.

Um, and I did a little digging and I found that some group of fans have done something similar with one of my favorite 16 bit series of all time, uh, streets of rage. I didn't read about that this week and have done a a beautiful job on on bringing that over to it with with mods. They've got a mod where you can actually put them into a TMNT four turtles in time.

Nice. The turtles are gone, but like blaze and Alex, everybody's from the streets of rage series is fighting in their place, but the music is all intact. It's pretty dead game impressive.

But that's what I got for decor. All right. Well, it's time for the list and you've got the list this week.

We end every show with a list and it's chat, sir. Well, we've, we've kind of been going through this, uh, this, I don't know what you would call it a crisis recently where films that we've kind of been fans of have just been getting ravaged by critics. Okay.

Uh, more specifically in the DC comic universe, I think we all know what I'm talking about. But there is a long and storied history of films that were embraced and beloved by audiences, but the critics just absolutely despise. So I came up with the list of about, well, came up with a list of 10 of them.

There are several examples, but I just, I've jotted down 10 that were of note where they had a great commercial response, but or just we're just loved by fans, but the critics just completely eviscerated them. Um, number 10, we kind of mentioned the upcoming sequel to this one a few minutes ago, bad voice, too. I buy like that voice.

No, I'm saying the fans did love, but the critics just did not have anything good to say about it. Uh, number nine this could, it should come as no real shock van wilder. That thing's got a call following, but boy, the critics were brutal on this thing and a horrible sequel.

Um, yeah. Uh, number eight, a movie that I've never seen, but it kept coming up on these lists. And I know you, if I'm pretty sure you're a fan of this film, Emperor Records, I love him.

Yeah, and I want the soundtrack, too. Yeah, the list is going to go quick. So just, uh, number seven patch Adams.

It was one of those movies that made you kind of feel good and it was kind of melancholy, but people thought that Robin was kind of out of his depth in this one. Uh, number six, cure the ticket guys to go, oh, two writer, proff too, writer. It up, I think, up to, I think, up to Tron Legacy, it was these, no, up to Prince of Persia.

It was the most successful video game based film ever made. So I made a ton of money, but boy, um, I'll Lord, I just realized I put something down here twice. Um, I've got to call an audible real quick, uh, Boondock Saints.

Really? Yeah. I don't know anybody didn't like that movie, but again, uh, the critics just eviscerated it.

And I know it's, uh, has a brand new cult following just for the mere presence of Norman Reedus in it. Uh, number four, another film that I have not seen, but you have pretty much been bashing me over the head to watch at some point equilibrium. Yes.

I hope this thing really pays off, because you have really been selling this thing all over. It's a really good movie. It's not going to melt your brain.

It's just a really good movie. And it's one of, uh, bails earlier efforts in that genre pretty much. Uh, number three, a movie that I've always been a big fan of Tommy Boy.

Yes. If you, if you need a good road trip movie, are we just need a good movie to just have fun? It's, it feels like a sequel.

It's got a card candy cell. To me, this thing is always felt like the spiritual sequel to Plane's trains and automobiles. Uh, number two, I'm out on this one, but I know you love the broken lizard guy, super troopers.

Super troopers is wonderful. They're doing it's sequel. Can't quite figure out why they're doing a sequel when they, is they like every time they do a movie, they pick a completely different area to pick on.

You had, like, what, you had the club dread. You had the slamming slamming slamming slamming. And super troopers is wonderful.

And the, the one that really killed it for me, beer fast. They're fast. Doss, boot, doss, boot, doss, boot.

And the number one example, because it's had about eight bajillion sequels that critics hated audiences love and they keep coming back for this. Saw. I mean, it's arguably the most successful series on this list because I'm not going to argue because I'm not going to argue because I'm not going to be watching you.

No, no, I'm out. I can't. I, you and I've talked about this.

I don't do the torture porn genre in horror. I'm out in horror in general. And that's just like to the next level.

Well, you, you, you, I think there are certain aspects about the horror genre that you can, you like your next, uh, I didn't enjoy that, it takes a special kind of film. And again, those are the guys that are doing Blair Witch. And I'm out.

You're next. The guys that did your next are the guys response. Oh, I mean, guy wasn't, but I'm out.

So I really, really hope that film delivers. And it's coming out next month. Yes, it is.

All right. Well played, sir. Thank you, sir.

All right. Well, to the plugs and get out of here, shall we? Right.
