music
It is 7-0-1 on the East Coast.
It is 4-0-1 on the West Coast.
It is the 13th of August in the year of our Lord 2017, it is season 8, it is episode
5, 408 times chronologically.
This voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse Podcast.
We're so excited that you're here, whether you're live on you stream, whether you're
on our archive, or whether you subscribe on your favorite podcast app.
We don't care how you listen, we're just glad you do.
My name is Rob, I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse Podcast, and if I seem
a little excitable today, it's because I am.
We got a lot to get to, we're going to go around the room.
Both Don and Chad are on assignment this week.
Don is on his way to San Antonio, so I want him to be very, very careful and be very,
very safe.
He's got a two week stint going down there, but he's going to send me his summer slam
predictions for next week's show, and we're going to say it right off the bat.
We're on an hour early next week, because it's a major, so the major starts early we've
got to be on, so we'll be on at six Eastern three Pacific next Sunday for summer slam,
but we'll talk about that a little bit later.
But I'm not by myself, I wouldn't put you guys through that again, I wouldn't put myself
through that again.
You want to go back and listen to the solo adventure, it's back there, some work will
find it.
To my left, sitting in the co-host chair is the lady of the house, and she's here, she's
hanging out, she's having a good time, and she's bailing me out for talking to myself,
she's a general welcome friend, and to her left as we go clockwise around the room.
I'm trying to think of the last time this dude was here for a whole show that wasn't
a WWE pre-show, and you're going to have to dig pretty deep into the crates to find
it.
But he is here, bailing us out, he is the ginger ninja, Andrew Beckham is here, welcome
sir.
Great to be back.
Great to have you back, sir.
Always an honor to have people, early May, it's got to be, it's been a while, it's been
a while.
So we've got a lot of corrections or updates from last week's show, so let's just get
into it.
Michael Fishman played DJ Tanner on Roseanne, we couldn't think of his name last week.
Carlos Barnard played Tony Almeida on 24, he's joining the cast of Supergirl this year.
The new Ravens Simone show was called Ravens Home, so good luck with all that, Jamie Alexander
stars in blind spot, we couldn't think of that last week.
I couldn't remember who opened for Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie, his name was Tarin
Wells, T-A-U-R-E-N, very much enjoyed his set, he's a gospel artist from Texas.
When what is making a profit, what is in the black, not in the red, I screwed that up.
And the actor I was trying to think of in the review of the only living boy in New York
if you've listened to that already, Dino, I couldn't think of the actor that played
Uncle Buster at the Great Bill camp.
So we do also want to send a quick update.
I know I said that we were going to have two spotlight episodes come out this last week,
we did have one with Jason B talking about Donovan, go check that out, it was a, we talked
for almost an hour and a half, it was a great episode.
Make sure you're going to DonovanTheMovie.com so you can find out everything you need to
know.
I still don't want to talk about the cool thing that's coming because it's not here yet,
but when it does, I know I've showed you, I don't know that I've shown Andrew what we're
talking about.
I'm very, very excited about where things are going for that and I don't want to give
anything away yet, but remind me after the show and I'll show you what I'm talking about.
We're supposed to have an interview with James Venhouse from Night Owl Society.
He had some issues over at the house, he's his air conditioner went out and it flooded
his house, so we want to send our best to James and I hope things are going well, but we
are going to reschedule that interview.
It's going to be a great interview because next week, you know I'm sorry, this week,
this Tuesday, Night Owl Society, the trade paperback releases.
So all three issues in one volume if you haven't read it yet, I actually got my stack of issues
right here. I'm only missing one of the, and I'll have all of the covers from all three
issues.
I was going to say I'm trying to be very careful because I see them here and the protective
covers being properly respected.
So James, James will be here very, very soon.
It won't be this week because I will be out of town.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning, first thing for Ohio and I will be out of town until late
Friday night, but we will be on the air next week for Summer Slam, so be prepared for
that.
I believe that's all I've got for you.
So let's talk NASCAR and luckily NASCAR has finally come up.
So today was the pure Michigan race.
I don't have it on because it's not here.
The pure Michigan 400 from Michigan International Speedway today.
Here are your top 10 finishers.
Kyle Bush starts in sixth, winds up in 10th.
Jamie McMurray starts in seventh, winds up in ninth.
Number seven, Chevrolet.
It looks like Chevy dominated this race, Toyota book ended it, almost book ended it.
Toyota's got three, four, it's got one.
Austin Dillon, the new sheriff in town, starts in 17th, bumps himself to finish seventh.
Chris Bussier, anyone, anyone, no, Bussier, Bussier, like I'm the first one, he's like,
if he's listening, he's like, you're not the first person I ever do.
You're not that funny.
But you know, you can't pass up comedy when it's that obvious.
He's in the number 37 Chevrolet.
He starts in 20th, winds up in sixth, Trevor Bane, sounds like he should be in the Marvel
universe.
It does.
It's a really good name.
He starts in 21st, winds up in five, and then he's the lone Ford driver in the top 10
in number six.
Ryan Hello Newman.
He starts in 25th, winds up in fourth in the number 31 Chevrolet, rookie Eric Jones in
number 77 Toyota starts in eighth, winds up with the bronze medal, Martin Truex Jr.
I don't know what this, oh, he won his, he won stage two, I guess they're tracking that
now.
He starts in eighth, winds up in the bronze medal, Martin, a martin Truex Jr.
I'm sorry, starts in 13th, winds up in the silver medal in the number 78 Toyota and
Kyle Larson, attorney at law, wins the race in the number 42 Chevrolet.
He starts in ninth.
Toyota top 10 start and he finishes the race, winning it.
Let's get you some points updates.
Remember points updates are always going to be a week behind with the way they're doing
it this year.
It's very, very strange.
But let me pull that up before you're real quick because I'm a little bit running behind
on my data.
All right.
So remember, we're only taking, I think I want to say it's the top 16 in the chase.
So just the odd men out right now that are all within 30 points.
Ricky Stenhouch Jr. is 10 points behind Ricky Daniel Suarez.
Suarez is nine points behind Eric Jones.
So right now Eric Jones is, he's got to, thanks very much for that.
He's actually the one holding on.
He is, let's see, three not 12 points behind Ryan Hittin, Newman, Newman is 18, excuse me,
18 points behind Kurt Bush, Bush is only two points back on Joey Langeano.
Langeano is 36 points behind the stone, Ryan Blaney.
Blaney is actually tied with seven times seven times seven times seven times seven
times seven times seven times seven times spring cup or whatever they're calling it.
The monster energy cup champion Jimmy Johnson.
Johnson is 31 points behind Clint Boer.
I feel like he should be a really good hunter.
Boer is, let's see.
21 and 10 31 points behind Matt Kenzith.
Kenzith is 18 points behind Jamie McMurray.
McMurray is 10 points back on Chase Elliott, the new sheriff in town.
The new sheriff in town is, let's see, 25 points back on Denny Hamlin.
Get him with some hash browns.
That's 10 points behind formerly Chad's favorite race car driver.
But he's not anymore because we were saying his name wrong for like two years.
Because we used to say Brad keselowski and we were like Mike Wasowski.
It's not the same as Frank.
It's Brad keselowski.
Keselowski is a, he's got a big mountain to climb.
He's about 60 points behind, he's about almost 70 points.
Says 67 points behind Kevin Harvick.
Harvick's 10 points back on Kyle Bush.
Kyle Bush is seven points back on Kyle Larson.
But Larson is 129 points back on your leader Martin Truex Jr.
We're getting close to the playoffs, kids.
Next week, let me tell you where we're at.
To do to do to do to do to do to do to do next week, we will be actually Saturday night.
We'll be racing at the in the evening for the Bass Pro Shops NRA night race at Bristol.
That'll be on your local NBC proper not NBC sports network.
That'll be a 730 Eastern race.
That's why they're going to race it under the lights.
And then there'll be no Sunday race next week.
And after that, we're going to give you the next couple of races because we're going
to be taking a couple of weeks off coming up.
Not until Labor Day weekend, we're going to be off.
And then stay tuned because at the end of the show, we will be off.
We'll be off the week after that September 10th, but we're not really going to be off.
There was not going to be a new episode, but we're going to do something that I've been
promising you guys for about four years that we're actually going to do.
Stay tuned because we're going to tease that because I'm not going to tell you what it is.
If you may have figured it out, if you know us well enough, but yes, so I decided today,
we're going to do that.
I just have to get my stuff together to do it.
So September 9th, that'll be a Saturday night race at Richmond for the federated parts,
400 Labor Day weekend, Sunday, September 3rd at 6 o'clock, Easter, and it will be the
Bojangles Southern 500 at Darlington.
For those of you that don't know, Bojangles is a chicken joint kind of equivalent to the
Popeyes chicken.
I prefer Bojangles.
Bojangles, I think, has a better flavor than Popeyes, but that's just me and better biscuits.
That's also a name and a song too.
Yeah, Mr. Bojangles.
But I'm a big fan of the Bojangles.
So you got that going for you.
And then Sunday, September 17th at Chicago Land will be the Tales of the Turtles, 400.
Oh, yeah.
Could we kind of a slow race, I think?
Yeah, very.
Okay.
I wonder if there's going to be any.
You see what I did there.
Yeah.
Any rabbit?
I wonder.
You could be.
I never know.
I never know.
All right.
Let's get into some TV talk.
Russ is in the chat room.
Good to see you, sir.
Hello, Russ.
We can always rely on Russ to be in the chat.
And the chat room's working for the first time in a month.
So we're very happy about that.
Thank you, you stream for getting that done for us.
Let's do some TV talk.
A lot going on in TV land this week.
And Netflix announces that season two of the crown, if you're a fan of that show, it's
going to debut December the 8th.
It was announced today.
Oh, good.
I never saw the first.
Never watched the first season myself.
But just because we don't watch it doesn't mean that the Empire doesn't.
Right.
But they have canceled Gypsy after season one.
That did not.
I blame myself for not watching.
Glow has been renewed for season two.
Great show.
Yay.
I still have it in my queue.
Maybe I'll take some time to watch that this week when I'm up in Ohio, because I
won't have access to my DVR.
But I am caught up on all my shows.
I have two episodes of the Defiant ones left to watch, and I have keeping up with the
Joneses.
That's all I have on my DVR right now.
And last night's HBO premiere was fantastic beasts and where to find them.
I didn't record that from my wife because my wife's a big Harry Potter fan.
HBO has renewed insecure for season three, and ballers has been renewed for season four.
So that's so I'm kind of in and out on this season.
It's kind of a weird season for me.
But the problem is it has to follow Game of Thrones.
Yeah.
Game not going to spin.
So good.
We only have three episodes left at the season, and it's driving what you're crazy.
But they're all supposed to be like over an hour long.
Well, the next two.
Yeah.
The next tonight's I think regular length next week is an hour ten, and I think the
finale is almost an hour and a half.
So good.
So and plus I won't miss anything because I'll watch tonight's episode and then I'm flying
back.
So I'll be back.
It's going to be late, late, late Friday night.
So speaking of which we do want to apologize to our friends at the Women's Texas Film Festival,
we're not going to be able to do the show there this year just because Don and I are both
out of town and we couldn't pull everything together in time.
But we love John Wildman and everybody and his lovely wife, Justina and everybody that's
involved with that film festival.
We're just not going to be able to hang out this year.
Don's going to try to go just to go as a fair goer.
So Don's going to represent us.
But we love those guys and we're so sorry we couldn't do it this year for you.
CMT has renewed Broken School Challenge for season five.
So Austin's still getting work.
Yeah.
Good to know.
Congratulations, Steve.
Still making money.
Showtime CEO David Nevin says that a season and that I guess you could call it season
four, but season two of the revival of Twin Peaks is unlikely.
He says he's still waiting on a call from David Lynch.
I just couldn't bring myself to this thing.
I haven't watched it.
I've heard such mix.
The front of the show, Devin Pike is really digging it.
But it took a minute to get into it.
Yeah, he said it's going to be people like because I was like, I'm going to have to go
back and watch the first two seasons.
He says, actually, you don't.
He said, this thing is going to be like one really, really long experimental film.
And I've already watched enough Terence Malik in the last two years to last me for
a while.
Yeah.
Don't binge it.
Watch one.
Give yourself some time.
Watch the next.
But that's David Lynch, though.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Wild at heart maybe wanted to throw something at the end of it.
It just got it.
It's such a bad film.
But it's also Nicholas Cage.
And oh, God.
He's so weird in that movie.
Wait.
Just that movie.
Well, he's extra.
If you've ever seen Wild at heart, there's this weird wizard of Oz tie into.
I totally saw the weird good witch.
It's like, oh, he fainted.
Didn't make my brain hurt.
He tapped into his inner ultimate warrior.
I will say, though, that there is a line that I've stolen from that film that has become
ingrained in my vernacular to say someone's hotter than Georgia asphalt that comes from
that film.
Yeah.
So.
I wait.
That's a good saying.
I hear you say that about me.
Yeah, I'm just kidding.
That would be awkward.
That's what I'm just kidding.
There's certain people in my life that have transcended that level.
Yeah.
Well, it's like, it's like you, Sharla, my friend, General Lee, Jen, formerly known as
Pope.
It's just, it's just so far up above that.
It just, yeah.
I need to find someone who's age appropriate, single, straight, financially independent that
can say that about me.
There you go.
We're putting it out there.
Yeah.
I'm always putting it in there.
It's there.
It's there.
Showtime is rebooting the L word.
But apparently they're ignoring the series final season.
I don't know.
I never watched this.
I can't tell you.
But apparently the last season kind of got the rails a little bit.
I don't know.
Fox is in talks to Revive King of the Hill.
Why?
I don't know.
Because Mike Judge wants money.
Yeah.
Okay.
And they're talking about, and I don't get this.
And I wish Don was here because actually, I don't because Don would freak out.
Russ says they're rebooting SWAT.
Really?
Hmm.
I like that movie.
Same old.
No.
But they're trying to reboot 24 as a non-CT.
You serious?
And that's so stupid.
You know, that's the point of 24.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't get it.
I don't, I don't get it.
You know, let's reboot ER, but it's only for non-emergency situations.
We do realize that that wasn't even a first show called ER.
There was a half hour ER with George Clinton.
You know, I never watched ER.
I think I watched, I watched it when they did the live episode.
Like did this the only episode that you'll ever watched.
Yeah.
I never got into it.
I watched the half hour back in the day because at the time George Clinton was on it.
And then I watched the other one because George Clinton was on it.
What I think George Clinton in TV, I think of that wonderful mullet he had when he was on the facts of life.
When he was the handyman of the facts of life.
Oh, no.
I don't know about that.
Wow.
It's such a great mullet.
Oh, such a mullet.
Yeah.
The Universal Remote Group and I talked about, and I can't remember the name of it.
It was a TV series.
He guest start on where the guy was a cop who got injured and then he became this vigilante writing his motorcycle at night.
And I don't remember the name of it.
Is that Spencer for Hunter?
No, no, no, no.
This was like a short run.
Didn't last long.
You're making me look this up because I happen to know now.
But yeah, it was George Clinton.
George Clinton just guested on it as a friend on two episodes, but it was around the time of facts alive.
And it was.
Okay.
Why is my.
Yeah, it was just.
My internet does not like me right now.
I have to know what this is.
Look at that.
That is a very.
That is a very good mullet that he has.
Oh, that mullet from that to life is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life.
Oh, it's because.
Oh, yeah.
No, I.
He's.
Andrew has a picture from the show pulled up and I'm remembering why I ever thought George was.
Oh, yeah.
And that expression on his face is brilliant too.
I'm scrolling.
Centennial.
No, he was.
I was his first gig in 1978 when he was a village extra.
Yeah, I know.
I'm street hawk.
Yes, street hawk.
1985.
He was in one episode called a second self.
I think it was a two part of there.
And the ER was eight episodes in 84 where he played Ace.
He was only out a few.
I thought eight episodes as all it says.
But yeah, I remember him being on that.
He was on crazy like a fox.
He was George Burnett on the facts of life.
So you had that going for you.
Yeah, it was nice.
All right, let's see.
Where are we at?
NBC rebooting the monsters?
This is the second.
We tried this once as a TV movie because it was going to be a theatrical film.
And it was so bad they showed it on TV and nobody still watched it.
Was that mustard go home?
Yes.
And it had Angelina Jolie.
And why can I now not think of the man who played grandpa wants to do the transvestite
military comedian stand up.
I'll think of it later.
But there were rumors of a freezer reboot but they're now saying that's unlikely.
Where would they go with it?
That's what I wouldn't understand.
So I don't know if you've heard but Fox's next live musical is going to be the musical version
of a Christmas story which we saw a year or two ago here in our Fairburg.
Maya Rudolph is going to play Ralfi's mother.
Really?
It's not a bad musical.
There's some things they compress and there's some things that they leave out which kind of
Bums me out.
But it's pretty good.
It's still a pretty good musical.
We really enjoyed it.
I think I want to say it was a year before last we saw it.
At the...
I want to say it was at the wins?
No, it was at the wins.
It was at the...
No, it was at the musical fair park.
Oh, okay.
Because I took my picture with one of the original leg lamps that they had in the case in the lobby.
That's right, I remember that.
It's good times.
Did you ever see Rudolph?
I did.
We saw Rudolph last year.
Yeah, did you like that?
That's our Christmas story.
It's kind of six and one half dozen.
And we're seeing the Grinch this year.
Okay.
If we get a press night of that.
So that's going to be at a blah, blah, blah, blah, at musical...
No, at the wind spear.
Oh, wind spear is better.
Yeah.
Yeah, musicals doing Irving Berlin's White Christmas this year.
Okay.
That's going to kick off their season.
I always dream of those.
Not last year.
You can dream all the only one.
We're getting one last year here in this town.
American crime story Katrina.
Sarah Paulson will be in it.
Oh, played by Marsha Clark in the OJ thing.
But they've changed the source material.
It's going to be based on a book called Five Days at Memorial.
And what it's about is it's about Memorial Hospital in New Orleans.
Okay.
That they lost power.
And there was a huge controversy that some terminal patients were euthanized.
Because of it.
Really?
Yes.
And she's going to be playing one of the main characters, one of the doctors.
Okay.
So that's where your American crime story comes from there.
Carl Urban, who played Judge Dread in the last Dread movie.
Yeah.
He is actually in talks to be in the television series.
They're doing mega city one based on it.
Wow.
He announced that last weekend at a Comic Con.
I want to say, I can't remember which one it was, but he was there.
Where are we at here?
And in huge news this week, coming to a TV near you in the fall of 2018.
David Letterman returns to television.
No way.
On Netflix.
It's going to be an eight, a six episode show.
He's going to have a single guest that he's going to interview.
And there'll be some street pieces as well.
Cool.
I don't know if he will be trimming the beard or not.
I hope not.
Because that beard is glorious.
Yeah.
If you've not seen pictures of Dave in recent months.
And he grew that thing pretty much overnight.
I mean, it was like he aired his last episode.
And then two weeks later, he was photographed out jogging.
And it was like a ZZ Topian quality.
It was very strange.
Yeah.
You know, we've saved it for that many years.
I guess it just.
That thing.
It was amazing.
And if you saw him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, he'd actually cut it back
a little bit, but it's still there.
So that's going to be coming to Netflix next year.
I'm sorry, Jen.
I figured out who it was.
Eddie Isard.
Oh, Eddie Isard played grandpa on that.
He was he was in the TV.
Really?
Yeah.
All right.
TV on DVD and Blu-ray this week.
The Blacklist Redemption season one.
Did I bet they canceled that, didn't they?
Are they getting the second season?
I don't think they are.
I don't know.
Season one of Bull.
We were talking about earlier.
Riverdale hits Blu-ray and DVD this week.
If you haven't seen it.
I know it's on Netflix.
Start watching now.
Thought my Christmas list.
Love that show.
Billion season two.
I know Don's a huge fan of that show.
Let's see what we got going on.
Legends of Tomorrow season two.
Police story season two from back in the day.
Blacklist season four.
Murdoch Mysteries.
That's a Canadian show that Christian's going to be.
Guess starring on this coming season.
Season ten of that show.
Rodas final season available to you this week.
A premium box set of food wars.
The complete series with the original movie of Sheena Queen of the Jungle.
Do you remember that from back in the day?
Oh my gosh.
I can remember that one.
And something called WTF.
And that's not the Mark Marin podcast.
It's the world thumb wrestling federation.
Wow.
This is a thing.
This frightens me.
I just want you to know this frightens me.
So you got that going for you.
All right.
Let's get on to POI.
POI sends for a person of interest.
It is a section we do.
Russ says they could do a Kojak reboot and cast Dwayne Johnson as Kojak.
They've actually already done that.
And it was Vingrains and it was terrible.
Yes.
Yeah.
On the monsters thing.
The one we're talking about is the 2012.
They called it Mockingbird Lane when they did it.
It's terrible.
Eddie Isard did play a grandpa.
Okay.
All right.
So POI, person of interest.
It's a segment we do on this show where we take a person or an entity and we debate their greatness or lack thereof.
What I want to talk about this week is a headline that came out either Wednesday or Thursday.
Because we were just talking about Netflix.
Disney announces that in 2019.
They're going to be doing their own streaming service and pulling everything off of Netflix.
Netflix announces today that they're in talks with Disney to at least keep the Lucasfilm stuff.
Let balloon.
I don't think this is a good idea.
Like it's going to work because it's Disney and Disney makes everything work.
But I don't understand why wouldn't you let Netflix do the work.
Yeah.
Right.
Like just say here, you can show our stuff.
We don't have to do any of the heavy lifting.
You're going to do it all and you're going to cut us a check.
Because it's money and control.
Why should they share anything further than they have to?
And they can control what's out when kind of like with how they release the movies and they take some of them off the shelf for a while.
They have the full control of what's out there.
Is the pool getting too diluted?
That's my thing.
Well, it's almost heading toward because people are pulling away from cable and satellite service toward an individual, create your own package.
You subscribe to what you want and you don't have to pay for these things you don't want.
Yeah, but that's not the way Disney wants to do it.
They're using the actual company that put together the model for WWE Network to do this with.
Right, but you'd have to subscribe to that channel to get access to this.
Right, but CBS is doing the same thing.
Right.
Where you have to actually have to pay them to subscribe to their app.
Everybody else is saying, look, if you've got cable, if you've got an account with Cox or Time Warner or Uverse or Direct TV or whoever,
you just log in and you can watch anything you want for free.
Except for CBS, who owns Showtime because it's Viacom.
Right, but I don't have cable or satellite anymore.
I'm strictly what I subscribe to, what I get through my root care.
Right, and which is fine, I get that.
But, especially for local stuff, even with the Disney thing, if I'm paying for Netflix,
I just don't see the point in them branching off at their own because at some point,
this is going to get fiscally unattainable.
Right, and until it gets to that point, everybody is going to try and get their piece of the pie
and then they'll all come back and play nice again.
But how many people actually pay for that CBS app?
Not many.
And there will be people just because they have kids that pay for the Disney.
Right, and CBS is doing it because they've got exclusive programming.
They've got the spin-off of the good wife, the good fight.
I think that's what they call that.
And Star Trek Discovery, they're going to show the first episode on CBS
and then it's going to go to the app.
This doesn't make enough sense to me to do it.
And I should find Netflix when you don't have to.
But I carry CBS, which is how I found the Guardian.
They've got the classic Hawaii Five O's that you can watch on there, the Originals.
But I enjoy that I can sit there and say, okay, these are the shows I want to watch.
I can let them stack up and boom, I can binge watch in a weekend the whole season.
And I'm current on my show versus Netflix that it's on there for a bit.
And then it's gone.
Or Hulu where you have to have the commercials.
Or it just, it gets to be too much of flipping from channel to channel.
It's one of the reasons I gave up on the cable because I had all these channels.
I never paid any attention to you, but I was paying for it.
So this way I can pay for just what I'm going to use and not have to have a whole bunch of extra stuff.
I'll be interested to see though.
Again, from a price point standpoint, because my part of my problem is.
I would go to direct TV now right now.
But they don't have a DVR service.
Like they have what they call a 72 hour look back.
So anything that's aired in the last 72 hours, I can go back and watch.
But part of the reason I own a DVR is that I can fast forward commercials.
Exactly.
So if I'm going to watch like tomorrow, again, I'll be on the road tomorrow.
If I want to watch tomorrow night's preacher, because it's on AMC, I have to watch it with commercials.
It won't let me skip the commercials.
Right. And if I want to upgrade my Hulu, I can watch a preacher without the commercials.
But if I don't want to pay another, I don't say it's like 13 bucks a month.
So you haven't without commercials.
Yeah. And it's like, I've got the CBS without commercials, because that made sense for me,
because that's where a bunch of my shows are.
Right. But see, I don't have, I don't think the, I don't know that I have any shows on CBS right now.
Even with discovery, because my other problem with it is Star Trek Discovery in England
will be on Netflix in England the next day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because they don't have CBS in England.
And like with my CBS, as soon as it starts to air, I can watch it.
It's in my, it's in my CBS app.
I just, I don't get it.
It doesn't make any sense to me, the business model.
I can see you're going to make your money, but I'm with you.
It's going to get to a point where the pool's too deep and nobody's going to be buying anything.
It's like, well, let's just go ahead and put it all back together.
So we can all play nice again.
I just don't feel like this is going to be, again, Disney's Disney.
And they're going to make it work because they're Disney.
Right.
I'm going to be there in three weeks, you know, for, for not a joy.
And you better say hi to Goofy for me.
If I see him, I'm a high five of them because Goofy's my boy.
That's right.
But the problem with Disney is it's all one thing.
It's, it's very, you know, you're stuck in this little silo of this right here.
At least with Netflix, you can, or on your roco, you can go to whatever you want.
Right.
I mean, there's Netflix is going to be a variety.
Who is going to be a variety of, you know, you're going to have comedy action drama, adult film,
kids films, Disney's definitely more family oriented for a large portion of it.
But then they'll also have the WWE stuff.
They'll have, well, WWE is its own deal.
Russ says he wonders if that's going to affect the ABC shows when Disney leaves.
From what I've seen, most of the content is going to be Disney and ESPN.
ABC has not been brought up as part of the deal.
Which I thought was very interesting.
Yeah.
But I mean, yeah.
From what I've read, it's, it's Disney, ESPN.
Okay.
Because I don't know if they've been able to stop the bleeding with ESPN yet.
Now, this isn't supposed to happen until I want to say 2019.
Because they, I remember they had those huge layoffs earlier this year.
Because ESPN is hemorrhaging cash.
Yeah, they are.
Right now, hemorrhaging cash.
You know what?
I didn't get to watch it because I wasn't home.
I haven't been home all week.
I mean, every night I've had events this week.
It's been insanity.
But I've heard from people that said it was wonderful.
And I think they should do it more.
Even that's just a bit.
Oh, yeah.
Because you've got enough networks now.
I think any Friday the 13th would be perfect for an Ocho.
Yeah, do as an Ocho.
But you could even have the Ocho.
Yeah.
There's so much fringe stuff out there like ESPN used to do because they didn't have the rights to anything.
You really want to show, you want to shoot the wheels off.
Go back and look at a programming day from like 81, 82 from ESPN.
Some of the stuff they were showing because they didn't have rights to any of the big sports.
It was insanity.
They started in 79, 8179.
That's what I used to watch that was when they didn't have any rights to the.
Yeah.
That's what I used to have fun watching it.
Once they got the rights to the big shows.
Well, we've brought up on this show that I was watching ESPN 2 one night.
And they were showing back when ESPN 2 first came a thing in the early 90s,
where they would show AWA wrestling, which is out of Minnesota.
Minnesota also wear the Minnesota north stars used to be before they became the Dallas stars.
Well, one Friday night, I'm watching classic AWA wrestling.
And who is your ringside reporter?
But one Ralph Strangis was doing AWA wrestling.
Really?
Who is your Dallas stars now?
And I was like, that's Strangis.
Oh, my God, he used to do wrestling.
This is amazing.
So, and Christie Lee, who's with the Bob and Tom show, she worked for ESPN 2 for a while,
doing a lot of like the dirt bike racing and stuff like that.
So I don't know.
This thing's going to be weird.
I want to say Disney's talked about this before and abandoned it,
because there was a while that Disney pulled all their stuff from Netflix,
along with Stars Encore.
How is this going to affect their relationship with them,
because a lot of that stuff you can get from them on demand too.
So I don't know how this is going to affect that relationship as well.
Yeah.
But it's a thing, and we're going to be keeping an eye on it for you,
because that's what we do on this show.
Let us keep moving on, because it's time to talk NFL.
I was going to say real quick on Netflix.
I love that movie so much.
Yes, and I haven't been home this week, but I was going to watch it today,
and then I realized I wasn't going to have enough time to watch it and get here on time.
So I have not done so yet, but it is on the must watch this week.
And that will not be affected by the whole deal, because that's universal.
Well, no, but it was because it's sing and it's one of your favorites.
I love that movie so much.
I don't know why this is locked up on me.
Hold on.
The NFL page on Yahoo is not behaving itself in any way, shape or form right now for me.
So as we get into the NFL,
Roberto Aguilio let go from a Tampa Bay Buccaneers after missing a bajillion kicks.
Yeah.
He's been picked up already by Chicago.
Wow.
The bears.
Exactly.
So good luck with all that browser.
All right.
So it looks like the pages stuck on NFL, but we're going to go ahead and go through the scores.
I had this problem earlier this week too.
Couldn't get any news on the NFL for the longest time.
Okay, so now we're going to let's try it again.
I think I just I think that's the page just got stuck.
So let me try to pull that one up again, because it was NFL week one.
Hello, preseason week one.
Here we go.
Here's your scores.
Score scores.
Score scores.
Talk.
Four scores.
Yeah.
We have more than four.
Carolina over Houston, 2717 Minnesota beats Buffalo by a touchdown.
My dolphins got a win.
Beaton and Beaton, Atlanta.
Yeah.
So our third string can be their third string.
Yeah, right.
Praise lost again today.
Man.
I mean, what?
What?
Jacksonville beats New England.
Let me ask you a question.
Don and I were having dinner at a at a local eatery as we were getting ready to go to a screening
Thursday night for Logan Lucky.
Look for our review coming later.
We'll not be doing audio on that because Don and I both built out of town, but you will get
written from us on Wednesday.
Nice.
Just wait for the written.
It's all I'm telling you.
Okay.
And they did, because NFL Network likes to show all the preseason games.
They had a live look in.
What is Tom Brady doing in pads in preseason week one?
No idea.
Tom, come on.
Let's be real.
Yeah.
The only football you were seeing in that game is the one you're going to be playing catch with
with Gronk on the sideline.
You weren't playing in that game, Tom.
It was a fake out.
Like, even if like there are other two quarterbacks, if Garoppolo went down, you're putting the
kicker in.
You're not, you're not playing in that game, Tom.
12 was not going to be active in that game.
Lead by example.
Yeah.
You couldn't even hold it in.
If Garoppolo has to be in pads, first string has to be in pads.
No.
Tom Brady can do whatever he wants to do.
Yeah.
Baltimore all over the Washington football club by 20.
Denver beats Chicago by a touchdown, Cleveland over New Orleans by six.
Oh, Matt King's tuning in.
Thank you, brother.
Nice to see you.
Checking in with us.
This is where we're just, oh, we're doing all this stuff.
Okay.
Oh, apparently, Russ says that Ralph Stringes was also a contestant on Press Your Luck back
in 84.
Really?
Also feature at one time.
Jenny Jones talk show host was a contestant on that show as well.
Oh.
I love that show.
Now it's just called a whammy.
Cleveland over New Orleans by six.
Green Bay beats up on Philly 24 to nine.
Don's beloved Pittsburgh Steelers beat up New York.
20 to 12 Tampa Bay loses.
Go figure by by a beat by 11 San Francisco beats Kansas City by 10, the Jets over Tennessee
by four.
Boy, Barnburner 7 to three there.
LA beats Dallas 13 to 10 Arizona over Oakland 20 to 10 and Detroit beats Indy 24 to 10.
Tonight, you're going to have coming up here in about 20 minutes.
You're going to have Seattle visiting the charges.
So you got that going for you.
I have to relay some of my work shoes.
I can't watch any game.
To a preseason week to slip on by the way, my dolphins will be hosting Baltimore.
That's going to be Thursday night at seven Eastern also Thursday night Buffalo at Philadelphia.
Somebody's going to get their first one of the preseason on that game.
Tampa Bay will be visiting Jacksonville long road trip there.
He very well.
Minnesota will visit Seattle Carolina at Tennessee.
This will be into Saturday at this point.
Kansas City at the Bengals and Indy will be at Dallas.
So you got that going for you.
New York will be at Detroit on Saturday night.
Green Bay at Washington.
Green Bay at Wisconsin.
Yes, Green Bay is in Wisconsin.
Also Saturday night, New England will be at Houston.
And then LA at Oakland, Chicago at Arizona, Denver at San Francisco.
And then next Sunday at Atlanta at Pittsburgh, New Orleans at the charges.
And the Giants will be at Cleveland.
Oh, that's a Monday night game.
Boy.
Barnburner Monday night.
Yeah.
Giant's Cleveland.
Did you hear about the Sammy walking straight?
Yes, he's finally out of the AFC East.
Yeah.
I thought he was going to try to play for every team in the division.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He's in Tennessee.
If I don't mistaken, though, he's with the, the, the, the law, the Rams.
Oh, gosh.
Try it till you like it.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, at least he's out of the snow.
Yeah.
But you're in.
I'm also in for the Rams.
Yeah, exactly.
Bravo.
All right.
Some music news.
Let's get into some music news at this point.
Let's see.
Bruce Springsteen.
You heard about this.
He's going to be doing an eight week residency on Broadway.
Nice.
Wow.
It's going to be just him telling stories and playing with an acoustic guitar.
Preview start October 3rd.
And then the run is from October 12th through November 26th.
They'll be doing five shows a week.
I need to win the lottery.
Tying into the book that he just released.
I believe the book is actually called Born to Run.
Okay.
It's a thick book.
Really?
Like, you could kill a mule with that book.
Wow.
So Springsteen will be at the Walter Kerr Theater on Broadway.
So look at that.
Also read a very interesting story today.
New at Cliff Burton is original bass player from Metallica who died in an interview with
his father this week.
Apparently he's still getting all the royalties from his and he goes to see the band play
and he loves Lars to death.
Apparently all the royalties he's been getting for Cliff Burton's stuff.
He's been giving to Cliff's high school for a scholarship fund.
At Castro Valley High School.
That's cool.
Apparently he was very, very big into education.
I think that's awesome too to see.
Let's make the legacy live on.
Yeah.
I'm good with it.
Cliff was a great bass player as well.
So I thought that was kind of cool.
Sorry.
I wanted to put that out there.
Yeah.
Because I can't.
It's my show.
I can do that.
Music new releases this Friday.
Because remember music coming out on Fridays now for about a year.
Somebody called ASAP Ferg.
Probably not the same as the ASAP Rocky.
It's the ASAP that spelled the same way.
It's $8 sign app.
Ferg.
Does still thriving ghost poet.
Does dark days and canopies.
I'm going to take a guess here and say this is a Texas artist Ray Wiley Hubbard.
It sounds like it.
Tell the devil I'm getting there as fast as I can is the name of the album.
I may have to look for that one song.
If it's not Texas, it's definitely from the South.
It's still not my two favorite country music songs of all time are.
If I can't be your number one, the number two on you.
And from the notorious cherry bombs.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long.
That's an actual song.
Really?
The notorious cherry bombs, which is Vince Gill and a lot of the guys from pure
prairie league did an album a few years ago.
We can eat you Ray Wiley Hubbard is a Texas singer.
He has been alive.
Spouse is Judy Kay Stone.
That's a lot.
Wow.
That's got to have three names.
Yeah, you did.
Go to your music.
Soider and snake farm, screw you from Texas.
Conversations with the devil.
Oh, yeah.
Called that Thursday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Chicksinger, badass rockin.
Yeah.
He looks kind of like he's been kind of like a horse that was a road heart and put away
all ready.
Yeah.
And an interesting duet album this week.
Shelby Lynn and Allison Moore released an album called Not Dark Yet.
Oh.
So the career is not over yet.
Well, speaking of over, we're going to get into in memoriam.
That's old.
Yeah.
He's a.
But he's still kicking himself.
Any.
But into in memoriam, big.
One big death and another big death that you may not know is a big death.
Uh, Glenn Campbell passing away 81 this week.
He'd been fighting Alzheimer's for quite a few years.
Uh, Russ and I were actually talking quite a bit on texting about this this week.
And he asked me if I had a favorite Glenn Campbell song.
And I couldn't pick one out.
I mean, a lot of people will default to rhinestone cowboy because that was the big hit.
Um, I'm not sure that that's my favorite song is.
I like Southern nights a lot because it's kind of a beat.
Right.
Which is a line.
Which is a line.
And they were actually debating that locally here the other day of if that is that truly a great song.
I like by the time I get to Phoenix.
A lot.
Great song.
There you go.
Galveston.
Great song.
Uh, was born in 1936.
In Bill's town, Arkansas.
Uh, let's see.
Do, do, do, do, do.
Uh, he'd been, I mean, he's been been been married.
Looks like four times as eight children.
Uh, his father was a sharecropper of Scottish and threat ancestry.
He was seven of twelve himself.
The bear, the family, the family lived on a farm.
Um, said he picked to help out.
He picked cotton with his siblings as he picked cotton for a dollar twenty five per hundred pounds.
Oh my god.
And he said, so to give you that in perspective, if he said if you worked your tail off, you could pick 80 or 90 pounds a day.
A buck twenty five for a hundred started playing guitar at the age of four.
Hmm.
Uh, most of his family was musical.
He said, back home, everybody plays and sings.
It's kind of the bit.
Yeah.
Uh, let's see.
Continue playing guitar in his youth with no formal training.
He developed his talent by listening to radio and listening to records.
Drop that at school at the age of fourteen to work in Houston alongside his brothers, installing insulation and later working at a gas station.
At the age of seventeen, he moved to Albuquerque to join his uncle's band.
And he also appeared on his uncle's radio show and also in local children's program.
It's where he met his first wife.
And in 1958, he formed his own band called the Western Wranglers.
He said that they worked six sometimes seven nights a week.
Wow.
And you can read more about his story as well.
That was, as Kevin Smith would say, it's a huge bucket of win.
But I know he's suffered for a long time, especially with his Alzheimer's.
And so we're glad that he's not suffering anymore.
Also, kind of a passing that's fairly close to me.
And I do want to take a minute and talk about, um, darling Ewing.
It's hard to say in this day and age that you have a friend that you've known your entire life.
Sarah Brown is that person for me.
I have literally known Sarah as long as I can remember.
One of the coolest memories I have as a child when we still live in Iowa.
There is a picture.
There is photo evidence of this.
And I'm not afraid to admit it because you guys know shame left to me a long time ago.
There is a picture evidence.
I had to have been two, maybe three.
Sarah's family lived in a farm in Iowa.
Darling was her mother.
And there was pictures.
And I still see this day can't tell you why it happened.
But there's pictures of us sitting on the front steps of their house.
At a cute little farmhouse.
And I'm not kidding you.
And I say we were eating hard dog food.
Couldn't tell you why we were kids.
It happened.
Years later, when I was,
just as I was trying 16 because Sarah and I became pen pals.
And if you know anything about me, I'm terrible with the mail.
So us losing touch is completely my fault.
She found a postcard that she sent me for my 16th birthday.
And I still have that postcard here somewhere because I sent her a picture of it.
Of two kids sitting on the front steps of a porch that I swear to God down to the outfits.
Look just like the two of us without the dog food bag on those steps.
Down to the outfits.
It's creepy.
We've also talked on this show about when my old man and I reconnected about seven years ago.
He actually found her on Facebook.
And we reconnected.
And we've talked over the years.
And we actually got to spend some time together when I got to go back to Iowa a few years ago.
And when the old man passed,
her whole family came to the service, including her two sisters and her parents.
And so I got to see Darling.
This was about three years ago.
And then to find out Friday morning that she had passed away, I had no idea that she was ill or anything.
So I didn't want to take a couple of minutes just to again send my deepest to the entire family.
Nothing but great memories of her when I was a kid and getting to spend some time with them in the town they grew up in,
which was even cooler because the old man was buried with a plot with his parents.
And a small town called Seymour.
And we had lunch there that day.
And I'll never forget this as long as I live.
This little itty bitty restaurant on the town square.
I mean, this is old school, small town brother.
Like, let me tell you how small town this was.
It was homecoming weekend.
The homecoming parade happened while we were having lunch.
And I kid you not this literally happened.
My wife was there.
The people that worked there were like, guys, homecoming parade, we know you're good for it.
We'll be back in a minute.
The restaurant emptied completely, including the people that worked there.
Wow.
For the homecoming parade.
And then we all came back and finished lunch.
It was the coolest small town thing you've ever seen.
Awesome.
I remember ordering their special that day was a pork loin sandwich.
And if you go to Iowa, pork is what a pork and corn.
That's what they're known for.
It's the thing.
Ordered a pork loin sandwich for five bucks that came with fries.
I kid you not.
Think of a Kaiser roll kind of about the average size of like a burger you'd get at Wendy's.
That kind of a size roll.
This thing looked like a quarter.
A physical 25 cent piece in relation to the size of the pork loin that it came on.
I had to fold it over in half just to get it to as manageable to eat for five bucks.
Wow.
And we had the greatest lunch that day getting to reconnect with them.
It was one of the coolest things I've gotten to do in a long time.
And so again, I just want to send my deepest to Sarah and her family.
She leaves behind a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful legacy of family that has always been wonderful to my family on both sides.
So we want to send our deepest out to you guys because I love y'all.
And it's a little bit tough for me to get through these sometimes.
So love you all.
Oh, good mercy.
The other death this week in Hollywood, Haru Nakajima passed away at 88.
And you may not know that name, but you've seen him in one way shape or form.
He was the original Godzilla.
Wow.
In the movies played a lot of characters like that.
There's actually a really famous photo of him wearing the Godzilla suit from the waist down.
And just with suspenders from the waist up smoking a cigarette.
It's kind of a neat little thing.
But I wanted to make sure we mentioned him as well because that's another big part of my childhood was watching Godzilla theater on the weekend.
And they said that suit weighed 280 pounds.
Oh, my gosh.
It was a heavy.
Yes.
I mean, you got to figure the tail alone had to be 150.
Right.
And I mean, I don't even know where that for more than 20 seconds at a time without dying.
Right.
Like just sweat just everywhere.
One of the greatest weight loss programs you can ever have.
Yeah, exactly.
You'll be a Godzilla monster.
It was, I think it was Michael Keaton once said that sitting in the Batman suit is one of the best weight loss programs you'll ever have.
Because you sweat half to death in that thing.
So you can imagine the stuff.
And thanks, thanks Russ for your support there in the chat room.
So that's where we're at.
And we also lost Barbara Cook this week.
She was a known Broadway star.
Oh, that's what I did here about that.
She won a Tony award for Music Man at 57.
And I also saw that where was it?
Brian Murray, who had been an NHL coach for a long time.
Yes, coach four or five NHL teams passed away yesterday if I'm not mistaken.
And there's some other names that the Empire may or may not know,
but those are the primary ones that are going to be.
It's like man, in memoriam is feast or famine on this show.
Well, we'll have nobody or we'll have nine people to talk about.
It's very strange.
And I don't want to be disrespectful to anybody,
but I am seeing those that are in their late 70s into their 80s.
It's not the 20s and 30s like we had a run of.
And it's not that I want to see anybody go.
But I'd much rather someone that's had a full life and had a chance to live out their dreams.
Oh, that was the other one.
That was the other one.
The world's oldest man finally passed.
That was the other one.
His name was, where was he?
Yisrital Kastal.
He was 113.
He was born in 1903.
Good mercy.
And he was a Holocaust survivor.
Wow.
Yeah, he died Friday.
Very full life on that man.
All right.
Let's get into some major league baseball.
Kind of get us out of this a little bit.
I guess back on track.
Baseball standings.
Hey, look, the Marlins won today.
And the Braves did win today, sir.
So you can go pound sand.
No, I was just making fun of it in general.
And we beat the Cardinals dug on it.
That's right.
American League East Toronto is five games below.
Let me see about that division.
You're five going games below 500.
And you're 10 and a half back in the division.
That's a very tight race.
And you're a game and a half behind Baltimore.
Baltimore's a half game back on my beloved race.
And I don't have to double raise anymore.
There are four games back on the Yankees.
Now Boston is now four and a half up on the Yankees.
Boston's nine and one in their last 10.
The acquisition of Crystal has just made them a lot of people.
Crystal is setting the world on fire right now in the central division.
The White Sox are 25 games below 500.
I think we can safely say right now that they are out of it.
Yes.
Because you've only got what?
Five weeks until the playoffs at this point.
Six weeks of the playoffs.
So they're 18 games back.
They're seven back on the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers are six back on Kansas City.
Kansas City is a half game back on Minnesota.
Minnesota's four and a half back on Cleveland.
So again, let's not start putting Major League into heavy rotation yet.
Although I love that movie and we were just talking about that movie the other day at lunch.
I love Major League.
It's one of those movies that can watch on a loop.
And we were talking about, I don't know if you know this, but there's a line.
There's a scene in the trailer that didn't make the film, but they redid in the sequel.
So if you remember the scene of Major League where they're all the restaurant and Charlie Sheen's
wearing the suit.
But he's got the sleeves ripped off because I feel like a banker in the trailer.
He's acting all moody and barrens your says, you know, that ball would have been out of
a lot of parks.
And Sheen says name one.
He goes, Yellowstone.
That's not in Major League, but they used that in Major League too.
Really?
Yes.
That's cool.
I love Major League so much.
That's why it's the best color man in the business.
It's a fun series to watch.
You can't say that.
I don't even listen in any way.
Bob Euger is a great American.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
The rally cat cardinals.
I forgot about that story this week about the cat that got loose and then they won the game.
And now they can't find the cat and the cat.
And how do you get a cat?
Like the lady, some lady came and said, oh, yeah, that's my cat.
How did you bring a cat to a baseball game?
How did that happen?
It was in her car, I think, or there's been some story where it was in the car.
I've been in places where the cat or the dog are in the car while the people are going
and doing something.
You should go to prison.
Yes, they should.
Especially in August.
You should get an animal in the car.
I rolled up to Scarborough at one time and somebody had their dog in the car.
And I went and told the Frank A.
Yeah, that dog known hunt with me.
I live by the tent.
I live by the tent.
I live breakfast this morning and I always back in wherever I go.
It's just easier to get out.
And I look over to my right.
And there is a dog that is sitting like a human being in the car.
I did about a quadruple take before I realized it was the dog.
And you know what?
The dog didn't drive car.
Yeah.
Dog didn't drive stick.
Yeah.
Just like in the AL West, the Oakland athletics.
They are 14 games below 500.
They're 20 and a half back.
They're five back on your Texas Rangers.
They lost today.
Who are trying to?
They're going for that second wild card.
See?
Like really?
Now you're going?
Sure they are.
The Rangers are now game and a half back on Seattle.
Seattle's two back on law.
Law is 12 back on Houston.
Houston is just.
I still can't get used to saying your American league Houston Astros.
I can't.
I can't.
Now.
Especially when you're not so bad at the NL.
I'll show you the difference in the American League of the National League.
Yeah.
So they're torching the AL.
Yes.
All right.
Now in the National League West San Francisco Giants are 14 games below.
Sorry, they're 24 games below 500.
And they're 36 and a half back right now.
You are out of it.
They are four and a half back on the Padres.
The Padres do the Padres are 14 games back of Arizona.
Now that's bad enough that an Arizona is now tied with Colorado.
Misty's LA Dodgers are 18 games up on both of them.
Yeah.
So you've got to be what?
Two weeks away from walking the division?
Probably.
I mean, they're getting close.
They've won two in a row.
They're eight and two in their last ten.
In the central division, the reds are terrible.
I was kind of hoping to go see a game while I was because I'm going to Ohio tomorrow morning.
But I'm two hours from Cincinnati and I'm two hours from Cleveland.
So going to a game is probably not going to be on the very expensive Uber ride.
Yes.
Well, I'm going to have a rental car.
Okay.
But still, you know, that's two hours there.
Two hours back.
I got to teach the next morning.
Right.
Probably not going to happen.
No.
I'm just saying.
Let's see what else we have going on here.
Okay.
So Cincinnati's 20 games below 500.
They're 13 back.
They are nine games back on Don's Pittsburgh Pirates.
But there's only four games separating fourth to first in that division.
So Pittsburgh's four back.
Milwaukee's two games ahead of them.
St. Louis is only a game ahead of them.
So the Cubs only have a one game lead in that division.
Still not buying the Cubs this year.
And in the only division that matters to National League East, the Philadelphia Phillies are terrible.
They are 29 games below 500 right now.
Yeah.
Oh, that reminds me another immemorial, Darren Dalton.
Oh, yeah.
Two of them.
Yeah.
Don Baylor of the next morning.
Two huge baseball deaths.
Like right after we got off the air within 12 hours.
Yeah.
Oh, let's see.
So there are nine games back on my beloved Braves.
God, my Braves are terrible.
We're 11 games below 500.
We're 17 back in the division.
They're a game behind the Metz.
The Metz are now two and a half back on my Miami Marlin to apparently have new owners.
Really?
Apparently this group involving Gida has bought the team.
So Derek Gida, now a member of the ownership of the Miami Marlin.
I guess he's spent enough years in New York.
He's like, yeah, I'm just going to go into Miami because that's I'm telling you.
It's in somewhere in the New York Constitution.
When you're done here and you're old, you move to Florida.
It's just the way we go.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Rust does point out that the Houston Texans are in the AFC.
So that's weird.
The cold on the joints.
I can see going for the warmth in the sunshine.
But yeah, Gida is part of that group.
Wow.
That's amazing.
And at the risk of making an error on the show, I think.
Do you know how Carlos stands here?
21 home runs and 40 games.
He's torching it right now.
I think he's now got the franchise record that stood for now 21 years.
Yeah.
Not surprised.
I do much longer.
How long he's going to be there?
I love Gene Cross.
Yeah.
I'm a huge fan of the dude.
I don't want to see him leave my Marlins.
But dude, go play for a contender.
Yeah, exactly.
And whoever gets him, there's an automatic favorite.
Yankee's on the net, too.
And the Marlins are now 13 and a half back on Washington.
And Washington's starting to beef up that bullpen.
Yeah.
I don't like the Nadinals.
And I can't tell you why.
Just beyond the fact that they're in my division.
Like if they weren't in the nationally yeast, probably wouldn't care.
Right.
It's kind of like the Patriots.
If the Patriots weren't in the AFC East, I might not care as much.
But the fact that they're in my division, it's like, well, why aren't the dolphins better?
Well, at the end of the day, we got to play in the division of the Patriots.
Who cares?
Exactly.
We accept the mediocrity because at the end of the day, we have to play in a division with the Patriots.
I don't like the Nadinals for no other reason, but they're in my division.
Right.
It's just as simple as that.
That's it.
Like, Philly, nobody likes Philly.
Let's be honest.
Unless you're in Philly.
Or you're eating.
My church is home churches in Philly.
And every week, we have to watch them talk about the eels.
I feel bad for Dallas fans.
I do.
Because you got to deal with them.
Yeah.
We have to deal with them because we live in this town.
And I love our people to block church in Philly.
Yeah.
Big announcement coming very, very soon about that.
I can't talk about it yet, but it's coming.
Big announcement coming.
I'm waiting on one phone call to be able to say I can make this announcement.
Because I now have gotten three three of four of five are committed.
I'm waiting on one more committed.
And if you know me and you can do the math, you may figure out what I'm talking about.
But I'm not talking about it yet.
Right.
His eyes are twinkling.
Oh, I'm very excited about this.
I'm very, very excited about this.
So, but Washington right now running away with the division.
So let's look at that wild card situation that's going on.
Your division leader is right now.
If the playoff started today.
Yeah.
All right.
Right now.
Law in the Yankees.
Have your wild cards.
Because your division leaders are Boston Cleveland Houston.
The Yankees have a two game lead.
Law would have it.
But here's the problem that you have.
You have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven teams within four games of one of those wild card spots.
You've got Toronto's four back.
The Rangers are a half game ahead of them.
The Rangers are a half game behind Baltimore.
Baltimore is a half game behind Tampa Bay and Seattle.
They're both a game behind Kansas City.
Kansas City is a half game back on Minnesota.
So this and even even if you go deeper down.
Detroit and Oakland are within four and a half games of that whole pack.
So this is by no means anywhere close to ready to go.
The AL wild card is still, I mean, laws one six in a row.
So you're going to have to do some work to get there.
But still, even after winning six in a row.
They're only a half game up on Minnesota and a game up on Kansas City and two up on Tampa Bay and Seattle.
So the Yankees, I mean, they're four and six in their last 10.
So it's not like they can rest on their laurels either.
No, they can.
Now in the National League, your division leaders are the Dodgers, the Cubs in Washington.
Dodgers are getting scary, bro.
I'm just going to say it.
Well, when you harvest me Rob, that's all I'm saying.
Right now your wild card owners are Arizona and Colorado.
They're both in the same boat, 65 and 52.
Now, if you only go, because this is going to be a little bit steeper,
because you've only got four teams within eight and a half games.
Right.
And those four teams, Miami's eight and a half back.
They're a game behind Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh's two back on Millowaw K. Millowaw K's a game back on St. Louis,
but St. Louis is still four and a half back.
Right.
So this has got a little bit more of a margin to it, but not by much.
I mean, Chris, once you pass Miami, the Mets are 11 back at Lannis, 12 back.
San Diego's 14 back of Cincinnati, 16 back, 16 and a half back.
San Francisco, 18 and a half back, Philly, 21 back.
So you're not, you're getting a bigger margin once you get past Miami.
Right.
But that's still a hell of a margin to be back, even at eight and a half.
And they don't have none of those teams have pitching to just actually dominate.
And by the way, before we get to America's favorite game show, the Dodgers,
they're run differential plus 208.
Not surprised.
Right now.
You want to talk about torching people.
And the Yankees are to plus 111.
That's the closest team to them right now.
Nearly 100 away.
Yeah.
The Dodgers, I mean, not only have they, they've beefed up that pitching staff,
they're playing serious offense.
Yeah.
They, I'm not one that's going to make a lot of predictions right now.
But brother, watch them.
If they can keep this momentum, because baseball is all about momentum.
If they keep that momentum moving.
Oh, dear.
I mean, I mean, the Dodgers and Yankees right now, they did the best out of the trade deadline
four way.
Yeah.
Did they, they're like the world on fire?
I'm not willing to call it for the Yankees yet because they're still in the wild card race.
Right.
But I'm never willing to count them out either.
It's like Duke.
You can't count them out.
Exactly.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's play America's favorite game show.
What is the run differential for the San Diego Padres?
They have the worst run differential in Major League Baseball.
Them in San Francisco go back and forth.
So we're always going to pick the worst.
So we're going to give Russ a little bit of time in the chat room because Russ loves to play this game along with us.
It's America's favorite game show.
Because we can only play it with hockey and baseball.
And baseball.
Yeah.
Because really those are the only you can do.
You can do it with the NFL, but the NFL season's so short.
Right.
And you really don't, who wants to do it?
Basketball.
Nobody really cares.
Yeah.
Speaking of basketball, a couple of pretty good ESPN films episodes this past week.
They're not 30 for 30s.
Okay.
But they're films.
But they did announce.
August, I want to say the 24th is when they will air the next 30 for 30.
And it's about Dallas Carter.
Oh, really?
If you know anything about Dallas Carter, they were the team that the team in Friday night lights beat in the semi or lost to in the semi finals.
Yeah.
Not the finals like the movie says.
But there's actually been a couple of films about it, which I've not heard good things about, but this is a documentary.
And there will be a 30 for 30 podcast that will coincide with some of those interviews.
Oh, cool.
Cool.
So, all right.
Russ has officially given his prediction at the run differential for the San Diego Padres.
He has said minus 130.
Gen.
Minus 112.
Andrew.
See, 117 just resonates in my head right now.
All right.
So the San Diego Padres are 51 and 66 right now.
That's a 436 win percentage.
They are 32 games back in the division.
But again, they're in a division with the Dodgers.
So you got that going for you.
There are two games above 500 at home, but there's 17 games below 500 on the road.
They're on a two game win streak.
They're three and seven.
And they're last 10.
The closest without going over is Russ.
The run differential right now for the San Diego Padres is a minus 155.
What?
No.
Okay.
So for them to catch...
No, let's put this perspective.
For them to catch the Dodgers who have the best run differential in the league.
That's a 363 run turn around.
And see, I have to laugh because every week that I pick a high, like a 120 or a 130,
they're down at like 110 or 115.
And I go for 112 and they're up high again.
I just...
I'm not quite there with this game yet.
I'm getting there.
All right.
You're listening to the Clubhouse Podcast.
We're live every Sunday night, 7 Eastern 4 Pacific.
Next week we're going to be on an hour early.
Because next week is Summerslam.
It's the major.
Live from Brooklyn.
We're going to be on an hour early because the pay-per-view starts an hour early.
So 6 Eastern 3 Pacific.
We will be live with our predictions.
We'll talk about the week that was in our sport.
Point totals are getting a little creepy.
You got to get back in the game, brother.
Yeah.
I miss a couple of...
The wheels are falling off for you.
Yeah.
So what we're going to talk about how we did at the last pay-per-view at Battleground,
we got through it.
I can take of that.
We'll talk about...
We'll get our predictions in for you.
Always a fun show, especially when it's the major.
Battleground for everyone indeed.
Oh my god.
And then we got an interesting little break.
Yeah.
You got like a four-week break for pay-per-views after next week.
Yeah.
It's kind of weird, right?
So yeah.
Which didn't used to be that weird.
Yeah.
But it just is now.
All right.
So let's talk about professional wrestling as we combine both of our loves of pop culture and sports.
Rick Flair hospitalized yesterday with what they're calling heart-related problems.
His management is saying, quote, it's some routine monitoring.
But then wanted to thank everybody for what they've done for them in the last couple of days.
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
Just say what it is.
You know?
I don't want to imagine a world without Rick Flair in it.
I can't do it.
Yeah.
So...
And there's a lot of things it could be that aren't extremely severe.
Yeah.
So we hope that Flair is going to get well soon.
It's something like a nose hanging on my hair.
It's driving me crazy.
I hear hanging on my nose.
Wow, man.
A nose hanging on my hair.
Yeah.
It happens to me.
I do not see an extra nose from the hair.
It's just driving me crazy in this show.
And I can't figure out if it's inside the nostril or if it's a mustache hair, it's doing it.
I can't figure out it's driving me crazy.
Speaking of old and feeling old and getting old, did you see the anniversary that happened on Friday?
Yeah, I did.
I saw something, but I forgot.
20 years ago, Friday, boom, boom, was the advent of degeneration X.
Yes.
I still got a couple of DX shirts in.
I think they're in my shirt archive.
When they came back and they did the little miniature versions of them on the shirt.
I got one of those.
Oh, yeah.
I want to say it's in the...
There's a mirror.
Let me see what's going on here.
Nope.
Still can't see it.
Oh, no, there it is.
I got it.
But I'm going to have to...
I think I just got it.
Okay.
I think we're getting out.
See, now that there's a head lady at the house, there's a mirror in here.
I have a very small nose or anything that irritates it.
It just irritates it that much more.
Yeah.
But yeah, 20 years ago, DX.
It's mind blowing.
Yeah.
And that's when they refer to this.
You can refer to this as degeneration X.
Yeah.
And a road dog put up a nice little tweet on Friday, thinking Sean and H were bringing them
along for the ride.
I'll just never forget when they became the new age outlaws.
If you can ever find that episode, go back and watch Raw, because JR had to serve it up
on a platter like twice before one of them was like, oh, yeah, that's what we should
be.
It was just like pay attention.
And it was Billy Gunn.
I was like, Billy, pay attention.
He's serving you your name.
Right.
So...
Is that a match with the burikwas at the time?
No, they were doing commentary.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And Billy Gunn were doing commentary.
And JR says something on the order of, where do you guys just some kind of new age outlaws
or something?
And it just kind of fell flat.
And so JR said it again.
And Billy Gunn was like, oh, yeah, that's a great thing.
That's what we'll be called.
It was like, pay attention, son.
Pay attention.
But Scott Dawson from the revival injured again has a ruptured bicep tendon tear at a
house show.
Surgery is going to happen, but everybody is saying like, this is just one of those things
that happens.
Like, it couldn't have been prevented.
It's nobody's fault.
It's just kind of one of those freak injuries.
But they just got back healthy again.
Yeah.
And I love the revival.
I love the whole no flips just fists thing that they're just brawlers.
I love these guys and now they're on the shelf again.
Okay.
So is it like apropos to their name, like, hey, it's a revival, kind of like a revival.
You know, it's like a week long.
I don't know if it's a weird thing.
They wrestle together for a week and, oh, done, because we all know Vince hates tag
teams.
And I don't know why.
We have a chimp quick healing.
And then he'll get back in the ring.
Yes.
But they're saying could be up to six months because your main tagging, it's a bicep
tendon.
Right.
And I'd rather be fully healed and push it, take the time, because we know they listen.
Okay.
Somebody listens to the show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And speaking of biceps and injuries of their, it's ill.
I do need to send a shout out while we're talking to the people at Baylor rehab and Irving.
I've been having some shoulder issues now for about nine or ten months.
And I finally just manned up and went and had an MRI done, which that's a whole different
story for a whole nother show.
Again, everybody's been wonderful, but just my MRI experience.
Yeah.
There's some tech now.
We can put a man on a moon, but we can't make an MRI, too, that'll fit it, dude.
Like me.
We're going to get it out of different show.
But it turned out that I've just had some inflammation in my left bicep and it's just
wearing tear in my left shoulder.
Yeah.
So I went through five weeks of, first of all, can my insurance people get it together?
No.
No.
I'm not saying anything bad about quantum, God bless them.
They, they okayed me for 20 visits.
Right.
Well, the person that put it in put 20 visits over an eight day period.
I'm like, what am I moving in?
What's going on here?
So I was, I started getting rejections from my healthcare provider.
We're not covering this.
Like, no, you said it was okay.
Oh, wait.
That's these other people.
So I had to call quantum back and they're like, yeah, this isn't right.
We're going to fix this.
So they'll like ignore anything else you get in the mail.
We're going to stretch it out to August 30.
If so, if anything comes in, you're going to be fine.
Because they, they okay me for 20 visits.
I only need a 10.
Right.
Yeah.
But the people, Natalie was my therapist at Baylor Irving and she was amazing.
I had to see her twice a week for about five weeks.
And she, she showed me all the different exercises I needed to be doing.
And she said I exceeded the goal she set for me.
So my last physical therapy was this past Monday.
So thank you to everybody over at Baylor Irving.
They did a stellar job from the people at the front counter to her to it.
It's, it was a great experience.
She kicked my butt on more than one occasion.
Oh, yeah.
But she did a great job and everybody there was nothing but wonderful.
So I want to send a shout out to them.
And I'm glad I don't have to go to physical therapy anymore.
Because five o'clock on a Monday and five o'clock on a Wednesday in Irving.
If you know anything about Dallas geography.
That means you get to go back to working out before long, too.
Yes.
I'm very much looking to try to get back to the gym and getting, getting my workout back
on.
I'm going to try to do it this week in Ohio.
I don't know if it's going to work from here or not.
We're going to try real hard.
Maybe they'll be in the hotel or not.
Oh, there always is.
But I just, I'm saying at the four points, which looks like a great hotel.
Oh, man.
So it's, and it's right by the office, which is even better.
The rock.
I don't know if you've seen that Brahma Bull tattoo update.
No.
Oh, my, because we all know the Brahma Bull that's he got because he's a tourist.
He thought for years it was because his first wife worked for Maryland, not the case.
Yeah.
He's had it covered really it, it covers from his elbow up now.
And it's more of a Brahma Bull skull from a profile and every piece of it has symbol.
It took in three sessions to get it done.
Go to his Instagram because I don't want to screw it up, but there's, there's multiple
levels of symbolism to the tattoo.
It's really impressive, like it's really impressive.
I actually saw it and read all about it today because I'd heard about it, but I just
have time to go look at it and then I saw his Instagram post today.
It's really cool.
Yeah.
What they did with it.
Like, it rivals, I mean, it will never be the size of the one on his right shoulder
because the one that covers his entire right peck that goes down his arm.
His tribal, yeah.
Well, it's not just tribal.
It's the story of his family lineage.
Thank you.
Yes.
The Usos have the same thing, but it's really kind of cool when he talks about there's every
piece of it has symbolism to it and how the eye of the bull represents energy or manas
what they call it.
And depending on where the light hits it, it looks different.
And like the horns don't point out, they point forward to symbolize him continuing to
push forward in his career.
And the cracks in the skull represent the pain that he's gone through.
It's really cool.
It's a great post on Instagram, so check that out.
Let's talk about Rod just a little bit.
Spoiler running behind tonight.
And of course, we ran late last week because we were, we had some friends on the show.
And speaking of such friends, happy birthday, D.
We're very happy that you had your birthday today and we're sorry we couldn't get up to
Oklahoma to see you for your birthday.
D. Rich, who was on last last week, her birthday is today.
Did I not turn the thing on my keyboard on my iPad is not cooperating.
We're having technical difficulties, I had to recharge the keyboard last night because
I don't have to charge the keyboard like once every three months and it had been way
more than three months last night as I was took because I got through raw and smackdown
yesterday.
Like that's how busy my week was really and it's going to be like that this week.
Unless I can figure out a way to watch it at the hotel.
But they have apparently they have a grilled cheese restaurant in this town of know me
too.
There will be multiple visits there.
I've heard wonderful.
It's called melt.
Yes, yes, I will.
I won't be there.
Yes.
All right, so let's talk raw.
I don't have any smackdown notes this week.
Smackdown was horrible.
It was all I deleted it like oh my 27 minutes.
Like I got through the opening segment like that was okay.
But the raw opening segment this week was one of the best opening segments of raw
they've done in years.
Yes.
First of all, the miss was great.
The miss on fire.
He's on fire right now.
Thank you.
Secondly, Heyman Paul Heyman gets better every and I didn't think it's possible.
Like I've been a fan of Paul Heyman's for 30 years.
I love the danger of slides like he'd come out with his quote cell phone and it was just
like a basic cordless foam that you had at the house in the 80s.
And he did do sold it.
Like you ever want to listen to a really great story of a great career in wrestling.
Listen to Paul Heyman's story.
He was a guy that like literally fell into the industry just always happened to be in
the right place at the right time and knew how to play the game.
That's who Paul Heyman is.
I love how Lesnar is starting to get a little bit more animated now and even though he's
not cutting the promo, you see him running his app and he's selling the crap out of it.
That whole segment worked on like when miss said when my hand goes up, your mouth shuts
and Heyman's okay, it just drops the mic.
I was like, here we go.
What an amazing segment to start raw.
This ends up things getting weird because knowing what I know about what's going on backstage,
that's getting weird.
But you know what?
And somebody had a sign, although one of my favorite sign was, hey, Miz, only women's belts
are white, which yeah, because he's got the intercontinental belt.
But I do like that intercontinental belt.
I like that.
It was good.
Thank you Cody Rhodes for bringing that back.
By the way, apparently his wife has debuted in R.O.H.
And she came out in the polka dots.
Really?
Yes.
And she said people online loved were so happy that she did it.
Because she's like, I was a little scared because I, you know, Dusty's my father-in-law.
Right.
You know, and he is lighting up R.O.H.
Dear God, he's lighting up R.O.H.
I don't know what, I don't know if it's because he was held back in WWE, but I don't
know what he's doing, but he is lighting R.O.H. up and I'm loving every minute of it.
But anyway, we'll get that here in a minute.
There was a sign in the crowd on Raw that I was, I saw it and I was like, thank you.
And it simply read, don't boo Roman, boo creative.
And I was like, thank you, Toronto.
I don't know what it is about Canada that they just get it.
Well, no, that's just what they do up there.
I mean, they've had to stew for, for how long did they have him.
They're just well educated.
And I will say this about SmackDown.
As much as I love Miz as a heel, Kevin Owens is neck and neck with him.
Yeah.
He really is.
How Kevin Owens just turned on Canada was brilliant.
Like he brought up the Montreal screw job and then was like, but you deserved it.
I was like, oh my God, I love this guy.
Yeah.
I love everything about him.
He's one of my favorite heels in the last 10 years.
But that's all the notes I have on either show.
Actually, the chair throw was just awesome.
Yeah, you sent me that today.
I love it.
And I just, I like Roman.
I'm an apologetic about it.
It's just like with Cena.
All the dudes is doing is what the company wants him to do.
And I understand the hatred, but it's kind of a mark thing.
It is, but I give Cena a pass because he made his way into that role.
Roman was just like, okay, I'll do what they do because I look the part.
But that's what the company wants him to do.
It's, but you know, you know, that's why I don't have a problem with Roman.
I like Roman.
He will never be loved like H or Stone Cold or the rock because he doesn't put any of his
personality into it.
Give him time.
And I like what they did with Dean and Seth, another seven, eight years.
Where Dean held out the fist and Seth backed away from it.
I kind of like where this is going.
Just get the shield back together, put all three of them together.
Why?
Because they were great together.
Who are they going to wrestle?
Don't say the Usos because as soon as they come on a show, that's the other show.
Oh, yeah.
Remember, they're all on roll.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Thank God.
Oh, although I did like to bid with New Day this week, that was kind of cool or they kind
of reversed the whip.
Angelina love has asked for and been granted her release from GFW.
Really?
Again, but again, you got to remember her baby daddy, going to medical school to become
a doctor.
Right.
Because remember, she is with the Davey Richards.
So, Mazel top to her.
Matt Sidel was injured at the latest impact tapings.
Apparently, he said he doesn't want to work heal.
He doesn't want to work heal because he's always super excited to be there.
Leo Rush is now headed to NXT.
I am reading.
His sitting Arouj did not last long.
I don't know.
To me, he was good for Arouj.
I don't know that unless there's something I'm not seeing from this guy from a personality
standpoint, technically, he's good.
And that's something that you have to, like you're a big H fan, so you'll have to trust
him because he's probably seen something.
H has an eye and I'll trust him, but I don't know.
Again, technically sound, he just doesn't have that effector for me.
Right.
He can have an effector, Bobby Rude, depending on Saturday night.
I'm ready for that match.
Him and Drew Galloway.
I never thought I'd be a Drew Galloway guy.
Or Drew McIntyre now.
McIntyre, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if you heard this in the show last week.
I wanted to saw a Nickelback a couple of weeks ago.
The first band on the car was a band called Sultan's Harvest.
They did Drew McIntyre's original theme, the first go around.
And they did the theme song for Bray Wyatt Undertaker at WrestleMania 2.
Really?
You're very much enjoyed their fun work.
Found out after they got off the stage, their drummer passed out from Heat Exhaustion.
Not surprised.
You're playing a show in Dallas at the outside at the end of the set.
Well, Chad Kruger at one point said, I think we're just going to rename this the fight
the humidity, too.
And he's like, give it up for Sultan's Harvest, and something goes like, oh, I just found
out their drummer passed out from Heat Exhaustion after the set.
Wow.
Let's see where we at.
drummer slam, not getting a Blu-ray release.
Apparently WWE Blu-rays not selling as well as they would hope.
I'm two WrestleMania's behind.
I accept responsibility for that.
So, because I've got every WrestleMania since 20.
But with the network out there, why do you need to buy the DVD?
Because I'm a Blu-ray.
I'm a conceitist.
But see how many?
And I'm also a Blu-ray staff.
How many people are snobs of Blu-ray and a completist?
And he also wants to support what he loves and buying the Blu-rays and the DVD.
And it also has the Hall of Fame on it.
So I have to have the Blu-rays.
Oh, yeah.
That's true.
And I like to say, I've got every WrestleMania since 20, at least on DVD.
So I like to say I'm too behind.
I didn't get, I don't have, yeah, I don't have, well, I might be three behind now.
I know I've got 30.
I don't know if I have 31.
I know I don't have 32, because I was here.
I don't have that one yet.
But they're on my wish list.
All right.
Let us get into some movie talk and talk some box office numbers.
Interesting box office numbers this week, as we get into this.
Dropping out of the top 10 this week, wore the planet of the apes drops from 9 to 11, $3.7 million.
Five weeks, $137.3 million, $150 with the budget on this.
I heard it wasn't that good.
I'm hearing polarizing things.
I'm hearing people that loved it, and I'm hearing people that hated it.
So Detroit drops from 8 to 13 this week, three weeks, $13.4 million, $34 million budget.
This movie is too long.
It's too long.
And it's what, what number for those that subsided?
Let's see.
This would be iTunes exclusive 307.
We've released a lot of stuff this week, because if you look at last week's episode,
including last week's episode, this will be our sixth show released in seven days.
So a lot of shows.
Rob's a busy man.
One of them we've been holding, actually, there'll be another one that I have to release
today that I thought I had up, and I don't.
Do I have that still on the notepad file?
Okay, we're going to have another, we're actually releasing two tonight, because we've
got another movie that released this weekend that I couldn't release until late Friday,
and I haven't done it yet.
So, it brings me bare, that'll be seven shows in eight days.
Now that one we've been holding on to since March, to show you how long ago Don and I saw
that film.
Right.
I will say this, kind of give you kind of an overview of our Briggsby Bear review.
The less you know going into that film, the better off you are.
It's an incredible film.
Kyle Mooney was actually here Friday night in our Fairburg for a screening of it.
It's an excellent film.
Don't read anything.
Because our review is incredibly spoiler free.
Don and I really had to kind of navigate a minefield to review that film, but go check
it out for sure.
All right.
So, I think those are the only two dropping out of the top 10 this week.
In 10th place, dropping from 7th place, the movie I was going to try to go see yesterday,
but I just couldn't get out of the house.
Atomic Blonde, another 4.6 million dollars, three weeks, 42.8 million dollars on a 30
million dollar budget.
I have heard nothing but good things about this film.
And it's the same guy that directed John Wick.
So, debuting in 9th place this week, we talked about this quite a bit last week, the glass
castle.
Yes.
Which I've been wanting to see and I missed the screening because I was at a different
screening that night, 4.9 million dollars one week.
That's the first opening week.
As I said, it debuted there.
Kidnap.
Drops from it, 5 to 8, two weeks after this week making 5 and a quarter million dollars,
two weeks, 19.4 million dollars.
This was a 20 million dollar budget and it added 40 theaters this week.
Wow.
That would be iTunes exclusive number 308.
And maybe people are listening to the podcast exclusives.
Three words, suspension of disbelief and I'm leaving it at that.
Okay.
That's all I need to know.
I will say this.
If you checked out our friends at the movie brothers, two different reviews on that film
between theirs and ours.
So also do want you to get out there.
The movie brothers are some of our favorite people, the movie brothers, B-R-U-T-H-A-S.com
is their website.
They have a YouTube channel, the youtube.com slash the movie brothers.
I was fortunate enough this week to be able to take both of them to go see a documentary
called Step iTunes exclusive number 310.
I was so happy that I was able to get them both in for this screening.
I was worried going in that I was going to oversell it.
I didn't.
Good.
Good.
Because you saw this at...
I saw this at Dallas International Film Festival this year and I could not wait until
I could get them to this film.
It is now available.
You can see it here.
I believe the magnolia is showing it.
It's showing at the parks at Arlington and it's showing somewhere up in Plano as well.
I will tell you, it's not in the top 10 this week, but I will tell you right now, go
see Step.
If you are a parent, if you are somebody that was a member of a fraternity or a sorority,
if you have any kind of rhythm to you that you've done anything with, whether it's dance
or whatever, this movie works on so many levels.
It's in my top 10 of the year right now.
It's that good.
You will laugh, you will cry, you will cheer, and I will just say this from our review
as well.
Don said, it's the first time that he's been to a movie with Faith where she clapped at
the end of it.
Oh, wow.
So go see this film, but it's not the top 10.
Spider-Man Homecoming drops from 6 to 7 this week, $6.1 million, $6 weeks, $300, it's
past $300 million domestic on a $175 million budget.
Full strip drops from 4 to 6, $6.5 million, $4 weeks, $97.2 million, this budget was $19
million.
Wow.
The emoji movie, boy, they got some rough publicity this week and I'm not even going
to tell you that story.
You can go look it up, it even got mentioned on the, because you know they're doing a weekend
update summer edition every Thursday night this month.
Let's just say I got mentioned on there and you can go let them tell you about it.
Yeah.
It just from 3 to 5 this week, $6.6 million, $3 weeks, $63.6 million, $50 million budget.
It is not in the black yet, because remember, you got to double it for marketing.
And I've heard that this kind of upsets me, the dude that's the lead in it, I can't remember
his name.
He was the guy that played the best friend in Deadpool, they're saying that he's becoming
quite a pain to work with.
You know I can see that, it's Jay, Jay something, something dark tower drops from the gold
metal to fourth this week, $7.8 million, $2 weeks, $34 million, this was a $60 million
budget.
It's got a long way to go.
It's getting destroyed.
Was it, was it that, have you seen anything?
I haven't seen it, the movie brothers lambasted it.
TJ Miller, that's who I was kind of thinking of, debuting in the bronze medal, the nut job
to nutty by nature, iTunes is exclusive 312, made a nice little chunk of change this
week, $9 million.
Done Kirk still holding on to the silver medal, $11.4 million, $4 weeks, $153.7 million,
$100 million budget.
And continuing in what has been a horrible August at the box office, last weekend I think
was the worst box office weekend for the year, winning the weekend this weekend, debuting
at number one Annabelle creation out, you know, creepy dolls out, not for me, but it wins
the weekend, $35 million, people are so excited about, but dude, $15 million budget, yeah,
so it's already in the black, yeah, exactly, that's what these low budget horror movies,
they're the thing right now, they are hand over fist, make money, I like my heart beating
at the rate it's beating unless I'm in a workout class, I have said it, I have said it
on the show a million times, I refuse to pay somebody to try to make me pee on myself,
that I live by a code, I have policy, yeah, unless it's with laughter and maybe, maybe
I'll let you know, you made me laugh that much, and I saw a movie Thursday night, it made
me laugh pretty hard, and we're again, you'll have to wait until Wednesday to find out
about it.
And then there is a, we can talk about it off air, but I can't talk about it on there.
There is a quote I learned this week, what's that, peeing in your pants is like friendship,
everyone sees it, but only you feel it.
That's true, that is true, yeah, if you do it right, exactly, yes, I'm just saying, yeah,
there's your numbers, there's your numbers, all right, so I've got a few headlines to
talk about this week, Alfred Woodard has joined the live action Lion King, she will be
paying Sarabi, Simba's mom, that cast is rounding out nicely, although I still think the
new day as the hyenas would be perfect, because they've been lobbying for it, but it's been
cast.
And your favorite female?
Oh, I'm bringing Paul, you put her anything, she's universal, people understand it, Katie
Holmes has been, Katie Holmes, who will be featured in Logan Lucky, it's coming out this
week.
We'll talk about it, we'll talk about it off air, because I'm telling you, just the trailer
alone for that film, that good, I'll put it to you this way, I'll put it this way,
Daniel Craig West Virginia accent bleach blonde hair.
To see that man say the words, I am in car, Sarabi, dead, we'll talk about it off
air.
Right.
Katie Holmes will be starring in the big screen adaptation of the secret, I have so many
questions right now and none of them will get answered, exactly, I know what they're talking
about, but how is that, I thought it was more like a self-help book, it is, I don't know
how they're making it, I'm saying, it wasn't, wasn't that part of Ryback's bit for a minute
that he'd read the secret, and it changed his life two weeks, and it's an Oprah thing.
Lionsgate wants to make more Hunger Games and Twilight movies, oh, lovely, they've said
there's a bunch of stories that can be told, they just need to sign out from the authors,
they're done.
Yeah.
Quit, quit doing these little spin-offs of this side character and that side character.
If they needed more story told, more books would have been written.
Star Wars can do it because Star Wars can do it.
Yes, Star Wars is, I guess, the ayatola for all of those type of films, and you will
never be that.
You just never will be.
Those last 200 games films were not great.
Catching fire was amazing.
I loved catching fire.
I didn't even know that the second, because that last one was two movies.
Yeah, I didn't even know that the sequel had come out.
Coming gone, brother.
Yeah, I didn't even know it was really out.
And I know what made a big deal about it.
I went because my sister's a huge fan.
Yeah.
You know, I love my sister.
Right.
So we went, and of course I buy them all from my wife, because my wife is a huge fan.
She has all of them.
Not that great, buddy.
Yeah.
Not that great.
Well, I saw the first one.
I enjoyed the first one.
I loved the second one.
And then I saw the very last one of the second half of the last one, and I was like,
oh, okay.
I may have seen it and just forgot all about it.
I don't know.
You may have blocked that out.
Yeah, I've seen parts of the second one.
Like I loved catching fire.
And I like, because catching fire, we went and saw that the Alamo.
And if you don't know about the Alamo draft house, they do a custom pre-show for the movie
you're seeing.
And somebody, and when we went and saw catching fire, they actually found a YouTube video
of somebody that had redone the first film with cats, and it was just hilarious.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Batman V Superman, done with kittens, which is one of the greatest things that's ever
existed in the history of ever.
And speaking of cat videos, coming up at the end of this month, friend of the show, Bart
Weiss, who runs Dallas Video Fest, is doing for the second time in two, the second annual.
He does a weekend where it's nothing but cat videos as a film festival.
Wow.
And it's happening in the end of this month.
So we'll be talking about that.
No, we'll be.
I don't know if you're aware, but Kate Wanchett has done a movie, a biopic.
It's called Lucy and Desi about Lucy, Lucy O'Ballon, and she's playing Lucy O'Ball.
Amazon has gotten the rights to it.
Nice.
I'm a big Kate Wanchett fan.
So I'm looking forward to that.
I'm an Amazon Prime person.
And it might go to Amazon Studios, who is Amazon's finally getting the wheels on the thing.
Yeah.
As Andrew and I know, there was a time where if you saw Amazon Studios, it's like, oh dear,
here we go.
Yeah.
Oh, but they're really starting to get the wheels on it now.
They're starting to get better about the movies, the films they're picking.
And I like the new intro where the book opens and the thing is like very game of games
of throny.
Yeah, it's very.
We're speaking about 20 minutes from games of thrones and the Sony silver and black, which
is the team up film of black cat and silver, Sable now set for February 2019, that was announced
today.
Okay.
Just don't screw this up because I love both of those characters.
And they kind of teased black cat unknowingly, maybe, I wouldn't say unknowingly, it was
pretty blatant if you know what to look for in Spider-Man Homecoming.
There's a girl in three different scenes that walks through who has stark like silver
hair and is always wearing black.
But they never said her name is Felicia Hardy, but okay, hi Felicia, it's all I'm saying.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Moving to releases this week, we've already talked about one of them Logan Lucky comes
out this sat this Friday.
Let me just run this down for you, Daniel Craig, Channing Tatum, who continues to convince
me why I'm not allowed to hate him because he humbles himself so much in film.
Adam Driver, playing Channing Tatum's brother, really, oh wow, Katie Holmes, Kyle Riley
Keio, you all know who she is, that is Elvis's granddaughter.
The dude that played Pam's boyfriend in the beginning of the office, he's in it.
There's some NASCAR drivers in it in NASCAR and non-NASCAR roles.
Oh wow.
Seth McFarland.
I think you're written off.
Because what it's about is it's about a group of people that get together and decide
they're going to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
It's during what turns out to be the Coca-Cola 600.
But I can say what it's about.
It's out there.
I just can't give you my review until Wednesday afternoon.
But again, we're not doing an audio for that because Dan and I are both out of town.
But our written's will be up Wednesday afternoon.
I mine's done.
I'm waiting on his.
So again, we'll talk about it off there.
The hitman's bodyguard this week.
I will not be at the screening.
The screening is Tuesday night and Dan and I are both out of town.
But this movie looks hilarious.
Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson.
Do I need to say anything else?
No.
If you've seen the one sheet where they parody the bodyguard, it's brilliant.
It's another one that I really want.
And you have to see the Red Band trailer for it.
The Red Band trailer tells you everything you need to know.
And if you have a movie with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson, of course there's going
to be a Red Band trailer.
For those of you that don't know what that means, whenever you see a trailer normally
there's that big green screen that says, this has been approved.
That's called a green band trailer because it comes with a band around it.
Back in the day, because it's all digital now, I was a projectionist in high school.
I know these things.
It would come with a band around it that would say, a Red Band trailer is a trailer that
can only be shown with rated R movies because it's got language and things like that.
I remember the first Red Band trailer I ever saw was for CB4.
It had nudity and language in it.
Oh, wow.
I remember it very, very well.
Also this week, a movie called Shot Color, a newly released prison gangster is forced
by the leaders of his gang to orchestrate a major crime with a brutal rival gang on
the streets of Southern California.
This has Jamie Lannister in it, Nikolai Custer Waldo, I'm totally screwing that up.
Lake Bell.
We have a Lake Bell sighting.
Wow.
John Bernthal from the Punisher.
You played the Punisher on Daredevil, soon to get his own series.
He's also in another movie coming out this week called Wind River.
iTunes exclusive 309.
Good movie.
Yeah, you were there.
Yeah, great, great film, by the way.
Second place all time on the watch gauge.
An hour five.
Jeffrey Donovan, Amari Hardwick also in this one.
Benjamin Bratt is in this one who I'm a huge fan of.
Once at one point, almost Mr. Julia Roberts also a movie coming out limited this week
that goes wide later this month called patty cakes.
If you need to spend some money at the theater and you don't have the kids with you, put
this on your radar.
Yeah, this is not part of the miss patty cake realm.
If you have children and go to house of faith things, this is a very different.
This is a Jersey girl version of eight mile with a sense of humor.
This is what closed the Dallas International Film Festival this year is where I saw at
Fox Searchlight had already bought it.
The lead, okay, she plays a Jersey girl.
The lead is Australian and she had never wrapped before.
And it's brilliant.
My review is going to I got to find out when I can publish my review.
I will tell you this.
Her character worked in a pharmacy and the rapper to her or the singer to her rapper is
a young man of Indonesian descent.
And at one point like he's giving her an intro as she walks in for her shift and then
she grabs the mic and refers to him as her Deepak Shakur.
At that moment I went, this movie is going to rule.
So be a look for that when it's somewhere near you.
Also a movie called Dave made a maze.
Dave and artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career builds a fort
in his living room at a pure frustration only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls
booby traps and critters of his own creation.
If Nick Thune is in this Rick Overtitt is in this Adam Bush is in this.
This looks weirdly cool, so I'm saying, so you got that going for you, DVD and Blu-ray
this week, Alien Covenants, not a bad film, not a bad film.
The wall with the John Chena, Juan Chena's movie, with him and Quicksilver, that they
played that I missed the screening for that.
How to be a Latin lover, I actually want to see this.
This is the same guy that was in, instructions not included, a friend of the show Raymond
Garcia loved this film.
And one of the one sheets they parody 50 Shades Darker, Chuck, which we've also seen,
this is about the guy that inspired the character of Rocky Balboa.
We have Shriver crushes this.
And I believe, wasn't that Kate Blanchett that played his lady friend in that?
It was.
The criterion collection does hopscotch and mean time this week.
All right, a couple of tech corner deals here.
Let me get it.
I'm going to use the right mouse, there we go.
We've already talked about the Disney thing, Spotify is now on Xbox One.
We heard the rumors last week.
It is officially a thing.
And Netflix has purchased Millar World, Mark Millar's company.
The graphic novelist, the guy that brought us kickass, Kingsman wanted, and other things.
Netflix has purchased his company, yes, and by the way, New Kingsman next month.
Can't wait.
That new trailer is awesome.
I will buy you a pair of super big baggy pants so you can sneak me into that.
I love the first one so much.
I loved the first one.
And one of the very few instances where I like the film better than I like the graphic
novel.
Yeah.
Because that's very rare.
Yeah.
I don't think I've ever actually said that.
But the first one was such a surprise, great film.
I think I saw it three times in the theater and bought it the day it came out of me.
Yeah.
I pre-ordered it off the Amazon.
I think the last time I did it like that was red.
That was surprising.
The first red.
I don't like the second one.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's get to the list.
We close every show with a list.
This is no exception.
The list this week, as we talked about earlier, I am headed out first thing in the morning.
I'm on a 7am flight to Columbus, Ohio, where the highest of the highs all week will be
84.
Jellis, very much looking forward to that.
Surround on the ends and high in the middle.
Yep.
Oh, hi, yo.
I haven't been there since I was about seven, spend some time in Dayton when I was seven.
I haven't been there since I was six.
So I saw Empire Strikes Back.
I haven't been there in nearly 34 years.
So I will be chilling in a town called Westerville right outside of Columbus.
And then I'll be back for a couple of weeks.
And then I'm taking my vacation over Labor Day weekend.
I'll be gone from September 2nd through the 11th.
I'm going for Bama, Paloza 2017.
I didn't think it was going to get the travel this year.
But some friends of mine have been so wonderful that I'm taking Labor Day week off and they're
like, you know, you're going to have to enjoy with us anyway.
Why don't we just fly it down the weekend before and you can spend the weekend south Florida.
And I said, yes, please.
So I thought since I'm doing a lot of traveling over the next few weeks, I'm an experienced
traveler.
My mother an experienced traveler.
She's kind of passed on some things down to me.
And I'm going to pass those things on to you.
So this week's list are going to be my top 10 travel tips.
Okay.
Okay.
Number 10, if you're flying, get to the airport two hours early.
Yes.
I'm probably going to be about an hour and a half if I do this right because it's a 7 a.m.
flight, which is like, I got about four.
And it's about a 45 minute drive from here to the airport that early in the morning.
Yeah.
Because you got to get through security.
You got to get everything done.
Yes.
Number nine, get a luggage scale.
Because there are there are weight limits.
Two luggage now.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Any more than 50, 50 pounds.
You either got to empty it out or pay a huge fine.
I'll, you know, I'll never have that problem.
Well, some people do.
And if you think it's close, be prepared.
I try, I sit usually between 25 and 30 for a week's worth because I got to have, you
know, work clothes and then like, I don't want to be in my work clothes when I'm done
working.
Right.
So I bring a couple of extra outfits for that and shoes really, it's shoes that are
the heavy.
Yeah.
I bring the shoes on the plane and I got one pair of shoes in the bag like I have to dress
for the office.
So I'm going to be dressed for work with my dress shoes and my tennis shoes will be in
the, they're already actually already in the suitcase.
Well, spoken right there.
When I can get the cats to not lay on the dog on thing.
Yeah.
They want to go with you.
Oh, they just don't want that to leave.
Number eight, have all of your confirmation numbers handy?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
In my phone, I've got my flight confirmation number and I have the American Airlines app.
So I've already checked it on the app and I have the little thing in my, in my Apple
wallet so that I can do that.
Also I've already got my, in my calendar, I have my flight app and my flight confirmation
number, my rebel car and confirmation number and my hotel confirmation number because
they're in my laptop, but I'm not, my laptop's not going to be open.
You know, I'm not even going to turn it on until I get to the office because otherwise
it's just a beating.
And it doesn't hurt to have them hand written down just in case of the inevitable battery
wore out or something.
Yeah.
I can honestly say though, our, the website we use at work concur, they have a mobile app
which is awesome because not only I can actually take a picture of my receipts and it automatically
attaches.
It's, it's an amazing app, but I'm couldn't be happier about it.
But just for the average traveler, if you put a handwritten copy in your pocket in your
wallet, you're better off than trying to scramble through your phone if you're not remembering
where you put it.
Number seven, unless you absolutely have to have them by your chemicals when you get there
or just use the ones the hotel provides, unless you have specific needs that you have to
have them, like, just don't carry them with you.
Like I can go get a trial bottle of Perth Plus that'll get me through the week when I
get there.
You're talking grooming products.
Right.
Anything like, you know, I mean, like, bring your prescriptions and what.
Yeah, I was like chemicals.
I usually want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know the hotel can get me my, you know, prednisone or right now, but the first
pictures are one thing.
But the stuff you need for your toiletries and whatnot, like, I'm going on a two-hour
flight.
And nothing I need to, like, see me were like, well, what if they lose your luggage?
Everywhere has CBS.
Yeah.
You know, I, I, I will probably even pack away in my prescriptions.
There's a Walmart.
So that's a worry about it.
Yeah.
And I usually can get away.
I mean, if it's a, even if it's a two week, I can get away with the travel size.
Yeah.
It's allowed to carry on it.
If I want to be brand specific.
And by now, you should know what you're allowed to bring with you.
It drives me nuts because you hold up everybody else.
And you can buy Ziploc bags that are specific for flight travel that are the right size.
They even have the airplane torn on them.
And it's size and it plus, as a side note, know what's big enough to bring on the plane.
Yeah.
I know you don't want to check your bags in some case and I get that.
But you're taking up room for other people stuff too.
I bring one bag on with me and it fits under the seat in front of me.
So that way, I'm not worried about overhead bin space because if you're in road,
two, and then you store your carry on above the seat in road 30, you're really going
to annoy me.
Yeah.
Because you're messing with my time to get off the plane.
And what happens is the ones that are in road 30 are putting it in overhead instead of
taking it all the way back.
And that's got to get stopped because it's supposed to be the space over your head.
Yeah.
And there's even a little guide there that tells you kids that fits in here, you can
get on a plane.
Yeah.
Like, it annoys me when people bring instruments on a plane.
But I get it like, you're going to have your guitar.
I can roll with you because I know guitar players, but it doesn't mean it's not going to annoy
me.
Right.
Number six, if you're going to eat out as you do when you travel, go to places you can't
get it home.
Mm hmm.
I am, I am seeking it out when I go on the road.
So I'm going to get to that once in Spain.
I ended up being Wendy's lot, but I was 16 so do it once to see the differences between
here and there.
Right.
Don't make that.
You're every meal.
Go go to places.
It's my aim because when people come to visit me here, I'm going to take you to places
you can't get to.
10 50.
We're going to go to 10 50.
That's going to happen.
You know, we're going to I'm going to take you to places that are exclusive to where I
am.
If people come out here from home, I'll take them to Waterburger.
Oh, yeah.
Because you can't get me water bringing in Tallahassee.
Can you go farther than that?
You know, I'm not going to take you to Jack in the box.
I'm sorry.
But you know, go to places you can't get to.
That's why I'm saying I can't wait to go to melt because I can't get that here.
I know there's grilled cheese places.
I'm having trouble finding them.
There's one over in the state farm complex.
Right.
But that's not convenient.
You know, I want to go to places I can't get home.
Number five, act like you've been there before.
This is some of my mother taught me when I was very, very young.
If you're going to go to Spain, you're going to go to Mexico.
Do yourself a solid.
Avoid the following type of phrase.
Where is the bathroomo?
Avoid phrases like that.
Don't insult the people that are there.
If you don't know how to say the word, try to figure out something that will get you
to the word, whether it's an action or a sign or you draw something on a piece of paper.
Do something like the more you try to act natural, the less chance you're going to have
of somebody rolling up on you.
You know, it just, it wears me out sometimes.
I'm just like, guys, stop it.
Many, many years ago, I got to go Shaperun trip to Germany in France.
And I found out like three months before I was going, that I was going on this trip.
It was, I was subbing in for a teacher who had a family emergency as a Shaperun.
I didn't have time to learn French or German.
Most of the Germans want to speak English with you anyway, but we got to an area of France
where they can be a little bit, all these Americans or all these other people come here
and they don't learn.
And I approached the lady and I was talking to her and I said, please forgive me.
I learned three months ago I was coming to your country.
Yeah.
That's not enough time to do, to give due respect to your language.
And more often than not, they'll work with you if you're just polite and have respect.
She would, she would only speak English to me and not to anybody else because they knew
a year ago they should have had time.
I didn't and I showed respect so she'd speak English with me.
Well, and you also live in a world where you can have apps that'll translate that stuff
for you.
Yeah.
You do now, yes.
We didn't have that then.
Right.
I'm just saying like, you live in a world where that happens now.
There's no excuse for it.
Do your due diligence.
It's easily accessible.
That's, that's the key.
Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Just do your due diligence.
Number five, number four.
Google local customs.
Yes.
Again, it's so much easier to do now.
Like no certain, like you can put it in a, you can put country culture.
And there are websites that will tell you, do this, don't do that.
Wear this, don't wear that because if this happens, this is going to happen.
Right.
You know, it's like little things like some of my mother taught me when I was little.
If you're ever in England and you're going to give the peace sign, don't ever show
them the back of your hand.
Like if you see Kingsman, he does that when he's running away from the thugs.
He shows the back of his hand to him because what that is is back in the day, Churchill
used that as a victory sign and he always put the front of his hand towards people because
he put the back of his hand to Germany.
That's an insult there.
Yeah.
And so then it's a subtle thing that a lot of people catch in that film, but that's what
he's doing.
It's like you're giving him the finger, basically, just look it up.
Number three, if you're going to go out, only bring what you need, especially nowadays
because everything's in your phone, your phone's a camera, your phones, you know, your
GPS, your phones, everything.
Don't take a bunch of stuff out that you don't need because especially if you're taking
mass transit, I see this at Disney all the time.
You get these people that basically bring a condo with them and they get on the bus
and now I can't sit down because all your stuff's taken up 19 seats.
Take what you need.
It's better for you, which ties into number two, respect your fellow travelers.
If you're on a plane, before you lean your seat back, say something to the person behind
you.
I had somebody almost break a laptop of mine in half because I had my laptop on the
tray table.
They all of a sudden just said, they're going to lean all the way back and it compressed
the space to where my screen was.
I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, can you put that back up for one moment so I
can get my laptop out of here?
Respect your fellow travelers.
Don't bring the smelliest dish you've got in the airport on the dog on plane.
Right.
And respect your space because I've sat on a plane where parts of me that are on the top
have been rubbed for a good part of the flight because the guy had to have his arms out
because he couldn't put it keep his arms to himself.
And I'm fairly claustrophobic as it is, which is why I always have to sit on the aisle.
Respect that time.
Respect that time.
Respect that time.
Respect that time.
Respect that time.
Respect that time.
Respect that time.
Yeah.
And keep your shoes off.
Oh, God.
Don't take your shoes off.
If you have sweaty feet, keep your shoes off.
I'm weirded out by people that wear flip flops on the plane.
I'll do them to get through security, but then once I'm through, I'm putting on my other shoes just because I don't want because I'm
Respecting and don't want to hassle while I have to do the check of every night. I do that when I go to Arizona
I've gone there like three or four times in the past six years and it's just too hot. It's too hot here. It's too hot there
I don't care. I will wear flip flops. It freaks me out. It does. It's too loose. It freaks me out. It just does. Yeah
And women's flip flops can be fashionwear whereas men's typically are not
it just
And number one, and this could be one of the most important things you can do when you travel
When you get back
Give yourself an extra day to decompress
When I come back from Florida, I'm flying back on a Monday. My plane gets in at about noon
I'm taking Tuesday off
Because you need it. Sometimes you need a vacation from your vacation
Just so that you can get your head right like when we went on our honeymoon
We flew back on Sunday. We were back to work on Monday. That was a terrible decision
Yeah, because we were both exhausted
Yeah, and that's why I'm passing this on to the people to listen to this show because you know
We're in that time where people are traveling and with school starting earlier and earlier we're destroying the tourism
In Indianapolis, they started two weeks ago. Wait, what? Yeah July 31st in Indianapolis. That was the first day of school
But then are they okay? Are they doing that for snow purposes or?
But you're still killing everything because you're not giving people enough time to schedule vacations because you're getting out at the end of May
Well, they're also changing wind different areas have vacation
So not everybody's trying to hit Disney at the same time and you know
It's this three month run when nobody can go into the park because so they're trying to stagger some
That's why even here locally they'll stagger some of the vacation days of the teacher in service days
So that businesses aren't hit
With all the sudden all these teenagers running around
And you're also jacking up your power bills at all these schools, too, because it's still too hot
Yeah, and there's one thing I didn't hear on there, but please make sure you're saying please and thank you
Absolutely, that's every day no matter where you are
Well, I understand but sometimes you can get very very frustrated when you're traveling
Yeah, and remember that when someone goes wrong. It's not the person you're talking to is false
No, and they're trying to do everything in their power to help you and if you say
I acknowledge that I'm frustrated. Please don't take this personal. Yeah, I always say I know this isn't your fault
Yeah, I'm just and I'm I'm a fairy
I'm pretty much a Zen master as it is when it comes to this stuff and I'm gonna say look
This is as long as we can get to here. Yeah, I'm cool. I get it like I understand that did you I number one
This isn't you didn't personally do this it's like I was talking with my health care with quantum earlier
I know it wasn't that person and that person was transparent with me
This is what happened. This is what I'm gonna do. We're good. Oh, yeah, and if you know something like a cruise
Travel the day before not to where you land at hour before you have to be on the boat
Yeah, I take your time
Yeah, people miss their flight and then their mad because they didn't make their crews make sure you've allowed the gash
Yes, yes, get there and playing at time because I'm a you want to get that early? Yeah, I'd rather get there that early and
Maybe sit down and have some breakfast. Yeah, sure. I'm you know, I'm gonna pay a little bit more because I'm at the airport, but I
Would rather pay that little bit more and know that I'm not gonna be flying into the gate because I can't bring the food with me
You know, let me sit down at a McDonald's and have a MacGriddle or whatever
I'm gonna pay a little bit more of the convenience, but I'm gonna be on the plane on time
I'm gonna be what because people you know
I've got people that are saying they know that when my plane lands and
And I've got meetings accordingly and my my old director is gonna be on the same flight. I am now graded
He does day trips all the time because he's got clients all over the country like he's day trips Vegas
And I don't know how you do that and survive
Because you're losing two hours and you're getting the two hours back. It's weird
But he's got me that's like I said you're gonna be in first class. It's okay
You've got more frequent fire miles than God at this point like I get that. I'm gonna be in row 27
I'm cool with that
But you're doing respect to the people you're dealing with to get there early
So that you're on time on the plane and if the plane's like that's not on you. No
No, and it's not on the person staying there at the ticket right
Yeah, you know the pilot and it's not the mechanic that found the problem that wants to keep you safe
It's also it is your fault when you decide you're gonna bring 19 other things on the plane and they're gonna tell you
Yes
Yeah, if you're gonna bend the rule
Try to bend the rules and it doesn't work. That's on you. Yeah, and if they think you've imbibed in adults or chemical enhancements
They do have the right to tell you you can take the flight
So and remember everybody has cameras now exactly now. I'll film it. They would just basic decent respect because a long way in this country
And we need we need to bring that time back
This respect each other. We're all gonna get on the plane. We're all gonna get there together exactly read your boarding pass
And I'll tell you what group you're in and go with that group
Yeah, it's not that big of a problem
No, the person in the back row is it gonna get there any later than the person and now I will say about that
We can put a man on the moon and we can't figure out how to board a plane properly
Two jet ways one on the backside one on the front side you get everybody on and half the time
Done and same way with D boarding a plane
Oh my god, and a minute feels like a lifetime when you're trying to de-board a plane
I'm gonna be in row 27 those ways. Yeah, like you've got an exit right in the middle of the plane put a jet way on there
Let's get this done. Yeah, so that I can get off the plane now granted
I'm still gonna wait for my luggage, but I'm out of the open at this point. Yeah, you're not compressed like a starting
You get 90 people that have to walk back towards the plane because they're they're in row two and their
Loggages in row 38
Just let's figure that one out. Yeah, let's all get together as a people and figure out how to get a second jet way out there
So we can get people off on and off the plane quicker, right?
Because you can do that now in 30 minutes that way. Yeah, you know if you're not gonna board the plane till 30 minutes before a flight time
right
And I'm gonna say it when I get sat down a little jet thing up at the top that bad boys on full blast and it's gonna
Write it my head. Yeah, cuz he gets so warm on those planes. Yeah, all that body heat and all those people
Daddy
Please wear your deodorant again, respect your fellow passengers
exactly
don't bathe in perfume
And if I get lucky which I'm not going to because I've already seen the flight but like last year when I flew to Florida
And there was an entire empty row right across from me and that flight it came by and said the other two people that were in my row
were together
She's like hey, you want to scoot over? You better believe that do yeah, having that entire row to myself on a three-hour flight
Greatest day ever yeah
Because at that point I am gonna stretch myself out put my back up against the window and the two together good to G.O
Brother
Appreciate it because they had a little bit of room. They could be together
They could and they had though you can have an empty seat between you so you can stretch out a little bit and everybody gets two armrests
Exactly, that's great. Mm-hmm. Well see for me once I'm on that plane headphones are on
Headphones are on and I am drowning out the world
Oh, no, they can see it
Still won't you yeah, because I'm gonna have my earbuds with me tomorrow my my soul republic seven come back in yet
But because I had the ones I got for my birthday
I just send to the because they weren't charging. Yeah, but I've got my other ones my Sony's and I'll be
They'll be in no problem
But I will say those news those new solar republics. I've got my in-law got me for my birthday the true wireless ones
They don't even wire to each other or
The only thing I wish is I wish they had a longer battery life, but three hours is a pretty good run
It is and it's yeah the fact and they don't connect to each other
They just sit right inside my ears and they I mean, I had to turn these down
They're so loud really they're great. I mean, I'm a huge solar public fan
I have like four different pairs of public headphones. Yeah, they do agree and they're very underrated
so
But that's the list
We're running a little bit over so let's get to the plug so because it's time to watch Game of Thrones
