The day is done…and you want to relax. You need a place—a certain kind of place—where they know you and you know them…where you can take the edge off. A place where the lights are dim, the music swings, but it’s never too loud…and you don’t even have to tell ‘em when to make it a double…where the skirts are tight and the necklines plunge. You say, “No such place exists!” Ah, but it does…it’s the Sunset Lounge. Step inside the green door…have a seat at the bar…
Boy, that was weird. That was the weirdest remix of our open I think I've ever heard. It is 08:00 on the East Coast. It is 05:00 on the West Coast. It is the July 23 in the year of our lord 2026. Season 17 episode two and another milestone because 775 times you have been welcomed to the clubhouse podcaster, one stop shop for all things sports entertainment, pop culture, and pro wrestling right here at Sunset Lounge DFW. Welcome. My name is Rob. I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast. And, yeah, 120 yesterday? No. Thank you. I'll stay inside and pay a bazillion dollar power bill I have to pay next week. But I am not alone. You're never really alone. You never walk alone. Just remember that, kids. Boom. There we go. Oh, now now there we go. Now we're skating at full strength. I'll handle the camera, sir. Sometimes you don't. I'm just saying. That way over there is my cohost and a man who really wants to talk about a movie he saw last night, but he can't yet. That is very true. That that is very true. It was excellent. I look forward to us talking more about it when we get closer to release in a month. I know. I know. At the bottom of your screen is the official fact checker of Sooner Gator Productions, that thing. And he's back from being on assignment, and he actually gets a chance another chance to see the movie that he didn't watch with us last night because they're doing another screening that he probably should go to. Would recommend it. Who knows? His momma call him Don Ford. I'm a call him Don Ford. What's up there, haircut? Well, first off, you never walk alone because you always say, I know it's a new name, but you can always walk with Elias or Elijah or Ezekiel or whatever his name is for that time of the thing. But, hey, first off, new buck the other Bucky shirt, Margaritaville. And on the back, brisket sandwich in paradise. I like that. I like the idea of brisket sandwich in paradise. That does play well. Right there. That's good eating. They they Buc ee's it is well documented on the show that I'm very picky when it comes to brisket. You're not alone there. The only time Buc ee's ever let me down was I went I bought a chicken sandwich, and I got in the car, and it was a brisket sandwich. Oh, no. Because they put it in the wrong place. But it was so delightful. Don't get me wrong, but I wanted a chicken sandwich. It might be the only place that does barbecue that I go for the turkey first. Now let me was the was it labeled wrong or just in the wrong area? I don't know. I just there was a thing there, and it said chicken sandwiches, and I grabbed the first one, and I checked out, and I got in the car, and I'm like, that ain't chicken. And maybe somebody got the chicken sandwich, didn't care and put it oh, I don't want it and just put it back wherever that could happen to. But I gotta say something. Nine years, fantastic faith forward. Love you. Congrats. Sup. She survived nine years with Don. Yeah. What she's still doing with Maya? Does she implode on the tenth year though? That's what we need to know. Well, that's when that's when the warranty goes out. See? Exactly. What about Let us We actually believe it or not, she likes the the show to to catch a smuggler, and they do a lot of shows at South Padre and, actually in Nuevo Progresso, people coming in. She always wanted to go there, so we might just do that maybe year. Just go down Don't they have great soup? And then go to Nuevo Progresso because that's a soup thing to do in Mexico on the border. Because all you do is you walk in. It's all I know. He's just gonna keep going. I'm just gonna keep talking about soup. We're now in hour nine of Don's elaborate scheme to go to South Padre when Alex made a great joke, and he just drove right by it and just stepped all over. Well, it's Don. He doesn't know how to be funny, but he knows how to kill funny. You talked about Progresso when Alex said great soup. Progresso is a soup. It's is it? Oh, wow. You poverty ridden person. You need some cultured soup in your life. And sometimes chunky chicken noodle soup. That's you need some solid progresso in your life. Been on the planet this long and never heard of progresso soups? It might require reading. There is that Oh, maybe I was there. I don't even know. Let's dive in boys because football is life. You. What I don't care what anybody says. That match Sunday was fantastic to watch. It was nerve wracking. It was one of the very few times I was glad we didn't have band practice so I could get home to watch the championship. Yes. That game that match and a lot of people are like, oh, you know, the extra time. And I'm like, no. Y'all don't understand. Spain had to win the game an extra time because the last thing they wanted to do is go to penalty kicks. Oh, no. They did not. Mm-mm. Nope. Nope. If it wasn't for Argentina's keeper, that might have been five nil in in regular time. That might not have even gone. That wouldn't have gone to extra time because, like, I think they got, like what? Argentina get one shot on goal in right in regular time? None. No shots. I know they got one shot. That that's what happens when teams who shouldn't be in the finals get bumped up to the finals. I said it. Yeah. I agree. To be perfectly honest, I think they still would I think Spain, as talented as they were, still would have won in penalties even though Argentina has a great record in that because Simone was keeping on another planet this entire Man. Tournament. Well, boys, as you know, we had a contest here at Sunset Lounge DFW, a pick them, tournament for the World Cup. We have our winners, Becca sent that to me, winning with 240 points. We wanna shout out to Bethany Onanobi. Great job, Bethany. Good job. Good job, Bethany. And we remember, guys, we're on we're on the the Facebook page for Sunset Lounge now too. Know what? No. No. This is this is soccer. Could you say the name again? Bethany Onanobi. And we always soccer has those great oh oh oh, no be. Oh, come on. That's victory. That's a win. She's great. In second place, with a total of 232 points, Jessica Jessica from work. Yeah. You know what? She knows she knows football. She knows it inside and out. In fact, I got the clearance to talk about she was gone for two weeks from work because her kid is that talented of a soccer player. They were going to different tournaments in July, and all I could think was how many heat strokes? And the bronze medal. No. I was not set a point total on this, but it doesn't matter because football is life. Football is life. I came in third. Gradually. There you go. Had Spain all the way, baby. Yes. You wanna say this about the championship. I wanna say this about the cup. What they're doing in the next cup four years from now, it's in three countries again, which I like. So that way you could multiple regions, multiple countries. Don, you definitely wanna put a pin in that because there is some rumblings that might not help that happen in four years. So let's not get ahead of ourselves. What? They might Let's let's not get ahead of ourselves. Off air. Off We'll talk off air. Okay. But I do I do like they went to 48, but do we go to 64? There is talk on that. I think 64 is It's gonna happen. It's it's gonna happen now that you see how much money can be made with water breaks. And that is the answer to all your questions. Exactly. Yeah. I do like 48. 48 good. I'm not against it. It's just, you know, it's funny because there's years of games that already set you to the teams that are in the World Cup. So And I I have to sit corrected. I a couple of weeks ago, was talking about when the women's are next year. They don't go Yes. Correct. Year because if they win every other year, the women would interfere with the Summer Olympics. You can do that this year because the men don't interfere with the Winter Olympics. But the interesting thing is this is also the first time in football history that the men's World Cup champion and the women's World Cup champion at simultaneously are from the same country. Alright. Alex, it is your time as we get into our AFC North preview. Don comes back just for his division. Well, of course, he does. But, let me go ahead and jump into this. So, Don, what you missed was I did a quick overview last year and based on the point totals for if you got the over under correctly, who had the closest, don't bury. Well, he's not lifting his head up anyways. But I'm listening. But you get a point for the over under, the point for being the closest of us to the correct number of wins for the team. And if you got it exactly right, you got a bonus point. How many points do you think separated first from third in our show? Six. It was one. You and I tied at 34. Rob got 35. Wow. I am the winner. So we averaged among us getting more than a point per team in the NFL. So that should tell you a lot. But I will say the AFC North was a bit of an albatross for me last year because Lamar Jackson being hurt doesn't help because I had them going very far AKA winning the Super Bowl. Whoops. The steelers continued to do nothing but win more than they lose under Mike Tomlin and having another 10 win season, but being the only one to get through. But I will say Rob had points on every team but the steelers, and none of us did well on the steelers for last year. But we we we had some solid, predictions, some good stuff to go off of. We're gonna have some real interesting things to talk about for 2026, but starting with the Baltimore Ravens, I just wanna get the number of wins out of the way, gentlemen. If you're good with starting on that on each team, it's your deal brother. Alright, so the other thing we have on this one, Don, is because it's too early for the win totals from the Westgate competition that we usually use. We are using Sharps analysis, which are the best statistical, evaluators of football on this planet and possibly any other. So for the Baltimore Ravens, that number is 11 and a half wins. I think they're gonna win 13 this coming season. Gentlemen? Don, go ahead. 12. 12? Okay. That's just barely over. Rob? I've got them at 10 wins. That's fair. So the the big thing with that is Baltimore consistently has problems with injury, and last year was another one where a bunch fell apart. Yep. And they finally gave up on Harbaugh and the staff, which apparently had been a struggle prior to the season. So that's why it wasn't a big surprise for some people that he was let go along with his entire staff. But now we have the Jesse Minter era. And our offensive coordinator happens to come from Ben Johnson. So this could get real fun in the same way that Todd Monken elevated Baltimore, but he's now in Cleveland. So we're gonna get to him in a little bit, but the crazy thing is they lost almost their entire interior offensive line. Oh, wait. No, it was the entire interior offensive line. All three are new. So there's gonna be some continuity. If they do well because Baltimore knows how to coach those positions up, you're looking at a possible situation for Derrick Henry. Because he has been breaking the mold every year. But your record for most rushing yards per game at age 32 or older, sixty 5.1, might be just barely over half of what Derrick Henry averages for his career, but this is his year 30 two season. And with him having to go with a new line, new offensive coordinator, new scheming, but it is Ben Johnson. So there's a little bit of a what do you believe? Do you believe the system or do you believe it's gonna fall apart because it's new? I tend to lean on the side that it's going to be better because Lamar Jackson had his worst year. He had never been worse than first outside of one season in rushing for quarterbacks, and in that season he was second. Last year he was fifteenth, so that's gotta change or he's gonna be hurt again, which kind of nullifies everything anyways. But the big thing is that the Baltimore defense was atrocious, and that's where most of their injuries hit. If you look at the games lost or significant time lost among their 11 defensive starters, eight of them missed multiple games. That's an insane number just for the starters, but they also bring in Trey Hendrickson. Shout out FAU. But that's your flashy signing. For me with the new coaching staff, I think the big thing that's gonna help, Kaleis Campbell, not signed, you know, the former mayor of Saxonville, but he is gonna be that player coach because he's been around forever, and he's still been productive as he's been used. He's the one that created this model for Miles Garrett and the aging pass rushers. Yvonne Miller was in there as well that made them more effective by like, okay, it's an obvious running down. I'm gonna go chill, grab a Gatorade. I'll be back in a minute. And it seems to have worked for every team. But they have two big games on their schedule, and I will tell you right now, even though I have 13 wins for them, half of their losses are gonna be in back to back games because their two biggest wins or excuse me, their two biggest games against in division rival with Cincinnati and then immediately against Buffalo. Both of those games, they have an o they have a weak disadvantage. Not a week like WEAK. They have a week WEAK worth of days in preparation disadvantage in back to back games in both of those. It's going to be bet the other side in the middle of the season and then bet on Baltimore everywhere else. Well, but you also when you're looking at the schedule, here's what works against Baltimore the deeper the season go. Mhmm. Like you said, Cincinnati, Buffalo, then you've got Jacksonville chargers. Panthers, you get a little bit of a breather on. But the Panthers were good last year. I understand what you're saying, but I like to finish. Then you've got Houston, which also could go either way. Here's the other part. That's week 12. Week 13 is the buy. So you're looking at after that, it's not gonna get any prettier because their their home stretch of the season hosting Tampa Bay, Steelers twice in three weeks with Cleveland shoved in the middle of it or twice in four weeks with Cleveland and Cincinnati shoved in the middle of it. So they've gotta run the division in the last four games of the year after just going down a murderer's road just to get to the buy. And that, you know, those division games are always so tough. Oh, yeah. Can I I actually wanna change that to 10 if I can? I wanna Absolutely. Yeah. The with the I forgot about Harbaugh being gone. I'm sorry if the new coach No. No. No. Yeah. Jesse Minter, you know what? He's a young guy. Baltimore's Yeah. Something all of their new coaching staff are young guys. So it's it's going to be an experiment at the least, which is why I think Kaleis Campbell is such a big signing for them. Yep. If the minus 10 and a half I'm sorry, Don. Did you have anything else? Just barely under. So Oh, no. It's 11 and a half. So you you were you were just barely under. I still want But it's eleven and a half. With the new coach. No. No. No. You're at ten. Yeah. You're getting 10. Yeah. Alright. So arguably the biggest disappointment of last year. Oh, boy, Cincinnati. Not only are you a terrible city, but your team did not do well going six and eleven and a historically bad defense. Historically bad. Like, I I have to read these verbatim. I hate looking away from the camera, so I do apologize. But they became the first team. We we picked on the jets last week about being the first team to not record an interception for the season. Cincinnati has something that might be almost as bad. They are the first team to score 37 or more points in back to back games and lose both. 37. Know why that's even more embarrassing? One of those losses was to the Jets. So if you look at that, it's like, okay. Maybe that's just two really horrible games. And to borrow one phrase from LA Knight, nah. Because the first nine weeks of the season, they gave up over 33 points a game. Okay. We're still not at the worst of it. If you look at the eight straight weeks where it was at its most abysmal, they gave up more than 27 points per game and 350 yards. So even if you try to say to bend, but don't break, no. They didn't show up, let alone bending. It's been bad. But they have made some decent moves in the off season because, you know, I'm a big fan of sexy Dexi. I I will miss him on teams I root for. But they also signed Jonathan Allen, who has been a great run stopper. They also have Boye Mafe to replace Hendrickson, which is a really good signing. But between Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen, you see that Cincinnati is like, okay. We know the teams in our division are gonna run. Let's put the biggest best bodies we can in the middle, and that's a smart move. However, Cincinnati's offensive line has done nothing. They didn't improve it. They didn't do anything. And you might think, oh, it's good to have continuity. Except allow me to tell you the craziest thing. Joe Burrow has faced the fourth least amount of blitzes through the last four years and yet has been sacked significantly more than any other player. If you think that that's just it, I wanna try an experiment. Gentlemen, would one of you like to count to three just a little bit moderate pace for me? One, two, three. Stop. Where I said stop is when Joe Burrow gets hit a 148 times. Less than 2.5. A 148 times Joe Burrow is getting hit. If they don't figure out something on this offensive line, he's the next Andrew Luck. He was already talking about it last year of tired of getting his butt kicked, and they did nothing to improve that. Now all that being said, Cincinnati had some injuries to deal with. Their defense is definitely gonna be better because it couldn't be worse. And they have the third easiest schedule because of that. So with their number being set at nine and a half, I actually have them slightly over at 10 wins. Don, how many wins do you have for the Bengals? Oh, not even close. Oh, I don't think so. You said nine and and it Nine and a half is the number. Yeah. And last year, they were what were they? Six? Six and eleven. Five and five and twelve? Oh, wait. Hold on a second. Wait. Am I looking let me go back. Oh, yes. Five and eleven. Five and twelve was Cleveland. Okay. Six and eleven. I'll give them because the division could be so screwball y. Yep. I'll give them seven wins, that's it. Okay. Seven. How about you, Rob? One from last year. Outside of four primetime games. Mhmm. Actually, three primetime games in an overseas game. The international. Yes. They have one game where they're not playing in the early set. Mhmm. To anything. Bengals fans don't fall for the rope a dope because you're probably gonna have a pretty strong preseason. Shout out, Sandy Callahan. Lions, bears, eagles. And that eagles game, they're gonna not be playing anybody. Nobody will. Not that week. Bengals fans don't get caught in the rope a dope because you hit the ground running after that. Because your host in Tampa Bay, you're at Houston, you're at Pittsburgh, you're hosting Jacksonville, and at the dolphins before the buy. This is a break even they win six games this year. Oh. I, you know, I I I love it when we're separated and further apart because it means one of us is gonna look good, probably two, and I'm gonna look like an idiot again. But speaking of looking like idiots, lot of people are bagging on the Cleveland Browns after the Miles Garrett trade. You want the hottest take? Go for it. I think they won the trade. I think it was great. I think they could have gotten more had they just pulled the plug a year earlier, but Miles Garrett is an all time pass rusher. There is no denying that. But Jared Verse is really, really good and a pro bowler both of his first two seasons, and he's five years younger. Plus they got picks. I mean, it's it was the perfect marriage of the Rams saying, let's go for it one more time and getting this big star, and Cleveland saying, let us get your star and some extra. So I think they actually did well, but it's not gonna start this year. With their number being at six and a half, I think they're gonna match their total from last year at five. Don, how many wins do you see for Cleveland? Sima Cinci, six. Okay. Rob? In Alex's least favorite state in the union. By far. Outside of one Thursday night game, every game they play is in the early set. Every single one. Isn't every team required to have a Thursday night game? There used to be. Not anymore. Oh, okay. I thought it was still a thing. Because we talked about this last season because I was like, this team doesn't play on Thursday nights, and it's they changed it. I think Amazon was like, don't make us have everybody. I actually agree with Alex at five wins. This is a break for them too because this is gonna be atrocious to watch. And I bet you just a slight nod on that one. We all have it as under, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if all five of their wins are them having, like, two defensive touchdowns and winning 17 to 10. Because despite how bad they were, that defense was top five in almost every single category, but a couple. And they're in the they they don't hit the buy till week 11. Mhmm. And I'm just gonna say this. I feel bad for the people at Cleveland because they fought so hard to get the team back, and it's just more of the same. I feel bad for him. And then they got a con man for an owner. Yeah. I said it. Yeah. I agree. But the big thing that hurt Cleveland on defense despite how well they played was fumble luck. Now teams typically have about a fifty fifty on recoveries. Cleveland recovered half of theirs. They only recovered a third of opponent fumbles, which is a very steep drop. So that should probably improve with a younger defense and a little bit more. We have to carry this team possibly. But there's one big thing. And in the AFC North, how important is it to stop the run? That's what they do. That's true. They couldn't do it at all. Now one of the big numbers that they love in these new statistic ages is yards until contact on running plays. Mhmm. Not only were the Browns dead last in the world at this, there have been four forty eight defenses. Defensive units since 2012. Cleveland ranked 448. They're So number one. They're opposite of number one. Well, you can reverse it at worst. Yeah. But I mentioned that they might have to do it all on defense. Well, the most important position in any sports, I believe, is the quarterback. Would you gentlemen agree or disagree with that? Most important, yeah, period in sports. Exactly. Don, do you agree? Very important, but not don't sometimes the most important sports, no. I think you might be A very, very, very key role. Extremely key role. Okay. So the the magic number for qualifying quarterbacks is 200 drop backs or 200 pass attempts depending on what statistic you're looking at. Last season, there were 38 quarterbacks that reached this threshold. Dylan Gabriel was thirty seventh out of 38. Shadoor Sanders was 38 out of 38. And you would say, well, Deshaun Watson's coming back. He's gonna have a shot. Spoiler alert, the year before that, there were 40 quarterbacks that reached this threshold threshold, and Deshaun Watson was fortieth out of 40. That offense is going to either run a lot with Quinshaun Judkins, or it's just going to hit the line in front of it or have turnovers. I suggest they start recruiting Arch Manning or somebody because they're gonna have to draft the quarterback next year because the every narrative I see happening after this season is, man, that defense was so good. Too bad the offense was the worst of all time. Yes. I said it. Even with Todd Monken, one of my favorite offensive minds at head coach. I mean, you can only do so much with broken toys. Let's be honest. So, Don, you know who that leaves us with. Yeah. You wanna start playing renegade? Because you might as well do it now. It ain't gonna be Oh, mama. Ow me. Okay. That's what you got. So I still think this defense is gonna be the best in the league. And I say that after how much I was just praising Cleveland. I expect Cleveland to be number two, and I expect Pittsburgh to be number one. Because Patrick Graham is a phenomenal coach and has had success everywhere he's gone, no matter how much or how little talent he has had except last year with Las Vegas, but that was its own dumpster fire. But he is your guy running the defense for the Steelers because Mike McCarthy couldn't even spell defense. And they've been overly lucky in one score games last year. It was insane how positive the one score game record for the Steelers and the turnover differential was. That's gonna come back to the mean. So I think it's going to be a good defense, but I don't think the team is gonna be good. I feel like there's a crash coming if only for the karma of everybody who was complaining about Tomlin. Yeah. I'm looking at you. But the other thing is they added receiver options as if they're gonna open it up. With Mike McCarthy being their is is Mike McCarthy their first offensive minded head coach in, I don't know, ever, Don? You would know better than I would. Yeah. Because I Knoll? No. Coward? Nope. No. He was more of the defense at the time with did what he did, but not offense. And basically, that's before it's been born, it's only been those three coaches. You know what I'm saying? And every one of them has a defensive background. This is the first time that they've hired an offensive head coach. I don't know if this is breaking news or not, but I just saw in the worldwide leader, the Raiders have for at least Diego Pavia already before The Ravens. The Ravens. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. The Ravens. Well, when when when you're a head case and four feet tall, it's not really gonna work outside of Andy. But switching to or, like, drafting Jeremy Bernard, who is really good, bringing in Michael Pittman, who might be the best possession receiver in the NFL right now. Plus you have DK Metcalf's athletic ability, but he has his own issues. They may shift to a more pass heavy approach and try to flip the script on the AFC North. But I don't think that'll work because Aaron Rodgers was once the greatest quarterback on the planet. At one point, he was the guy. I believe the kids would say he has been cheeks since he came to Pittsburgh. And if you want statistics to back that up, he has been significantly worse than both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson as a stealer. This crash is coming, and most everybody sees it. The number is set at eight and a half, so it's pretty much baked in to have their first losing season just like it was last year. Only this time, I'm thinking it's six wins. Don, what do you think as the ever optimist Pittsburgh fan? I say they win the division. Because of the new coach. My prayers were answered. Tomlin is gone. God. You hate Tomlin so much even though he's done nothing but win. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a Switzer. Yeah. Oh, don't worry. We got we got one on that too. Nothing with it. But I need to have the low double digit of 10. 10 wins. Okay. So one and a half over. What do you think, the or Rob? They've got one nontraditional game this year. I think they sit pretty with the buy in week nine. I I wouldn't say that this is a tough schedule, especially since you're playing most of the NFC South. You're playing that entire division this year. But I do agree with Don that they will win the division, and they will do it by a game over Baltimore. So I think they win 11. Wow. Man, I love that we're disagreeing. I really am. I'm trying to find the exact statistic on the schedule because you're looking at, like, Cleveland and Cincy have the third and fourth easiest schedule. And I apologize. I did not mark Pittsburgh's down. But the other thing, if we wanna drop back, you mentioned Switzer. We know no Switzer has ever built anything for themselves. Travis Switzer is your new offensive coordinator for Cleveland. Have fun with that. Oh, interesting. The Steelers are actually a bottom half. They have the eighteenth strongest, strength of schedule. So they're actually in the bottom half, but right near the middle. Interesting. So, you said 11. Correct, Rob? That's correct. Oh, the AFC North might decide our competition for next year. But that's what we have wrapped up on the AFC North. We're gonna get into one of Don's favorite divisions next week or the week after depending on how scheduling works with the AFC South so that we can hear Don talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rob, you have a look. In the studio, I'm watching this, party animals Indianapolis clowns game. By the way, they're in Boston. Ah. This is currently at bat is a guy that's from Guinea, West Africa. He doesn't have a stance. He is in the batter's box in a full split. Okay. So he's trying to walk. And now and now the catcher's, like, laying, like, on the on his side with that play girl pose. Draw me like one of your French catchers. Now and now the batter has gone into his feet or on the other side of his head. This is You know what I just realized? Did we talk about that a pseudo friend of the show is now working for the clowns with Fisher? Not for sure. Sydney Akeem, formerly of the WWE who we made friends with in Vegas. Formerly Reggie. Yes. Is he is now their acrobatics instructor. Amadou is this guy's name. He goes by one name. Madonna. He walks out with his arms behind his head crossed over holding the bat. It it very wheels off. Very wheels off. Let's get into some baseball talk boys as we get into standings. I'm very excited this week. In the AL East, the, Toronto Blue Jays are still terrible. They're 12 and a half back. They're three back of Baltimore. Baltimore currently three back of Boston. Red Sox are four and a half back on the Yankees. Tampa Bay now holding on to a two game lead in that division after a rough week. In the AL Central, the royals are still terrible. They're 12 back, not as bad as Toronto, but they're close. They're five and a half back on Detroit. Tigers two back on Minnesota. Minnesota now three back on Cleveland, and the Guardians are a game and a half back on Swiss. In the AL West, law, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Orange County, California, American, North America, Earth, Milky Way, Universe Multiverse. They're 10 and a half back in that division. They're two and a half back of homeless vagabonds. Homeless vagabonds are six back of Houston, Houston, Houston. Astros now a game and a half back on Seattle who now have a half game lead or half game trail of the rangers after the rangers just blew one up last night winning 10 to one on, Cooper flag night. They were doing a special Cooper flag ranger jerseys last night. In the National League West, the Colorado Rockies. Don't put a pin in it, boys. What? No. Oh, just wait. Just wait. They are currently 24 and a half back in the division. They're two back of the giants. Giants now, seven and a half back of San Diego. Padres are three and a half back of Arizona, but the dodgers still have an 11 and a half game lead in that division. Things in the NL Central start And are also the betting favorite to acquire Tariq School. Did you also realize that as of yesterday, there were only six teams in the American League over 500? What? Yeah. No. I didn't. That's a thing. In the central, the reds are 16 and a half back. They're five back on your beloved pirates. Don, this this this division is starting to open up a little bit. Is it now? Tied with the cardinals, but you're both four and a half back of the cubs. The cubs now seven back of Milliwaki. Milliwaki's got 64 wins. And now Who just made one of those low key moves that they always do at the trade deadline getting Lance McCullers. The Mets. Oof. Garbage. 17 and a half division nine back on Natinals. Natinals and Miami are tied, but they're four back on the Phillies. Atlanta now with a four and a half game lead in that division after whomping on the rangers over the weekend. I Reiner said something about it the other day on YDC when he had Kalashaw on because Kalashaw got to see them when they were when the Braves were still in Milwaukee. He talked about it a little bit. Yeah. And, yeah, Ryder's not happy. So, boys, time to play North America's favorite game show, and I purposely just kept it moving because I wanted to throw you off a little bit. What is the run differential for homeless vagabonds? Oh, how about that? Not even in the division. You know what? I'm gonna take the minus 100 right now. Don. Homeless vagabonds? Homeless vagabonds. Did not expect that. The a's, Don, is the team don't have a home. Oh, okay. You've been on the show. Right? Yeah. I heard the term. I've you did a 100, which I was gonna say, but, you know, Colorado, you know, you let me down that you're not just losing horribly. I feel hurt that you're actually starting to get some runs. I'm gonna say negative actually, I'm gonna go lower since it's a new team. I'm gonna say negative 75. Oh, that could bite me. You would both be under for Colorado. Alex Really? Just without going over because currently, the Colorado Rockies have a run differential of minus one zero one. Oh. Well, they're not the game. Homeless vagabonds. Let me let me just put you in this in in this perspective. Homeless vagabonds are currently two games in front of Law. Okay. That not a big jump. Law has a run differential of 58. Homeless Vagabonds are currently six back on the Astros. The Astros have a run differential of minus 45. Homeless Vagabonds are currently forty three and fifty nine. That's a four twenty two win percentage. Eight games out in the division. Mhmm. Twenty and thirty at home or whatever wherever they're whatever. Who would They're too dohub. Twenty three and twenty nine when they're the away team. Two and eight in their last 10. If you were to take laws run differential 58. And double it, you still would need six more to get to the minus one twenty two that homeless vagabonds currently have. Don, we were way off. A couple weeks ago, it was, like, 90. Well, you know what it really is? The all star break. No. It's it's these random games they're playing in Vegas where it's a 100 degrees, and they're getting outscored by 16 every game. I think that's Danny's coming a 100 just a cup of 90, and and then they had the all star break. Don, you're whining. I need you to chill. It's bad. Let's get into TV and stuff we watch this week. The one thing I will say coming up next Friday, if you have Hulu and or Disney plus, the, ESPN Jeopardy with, Joe Buck kicks off next Friday. He had a whole category today about his favorite calls. Nice. Because tomorrow is, the mothership's season finale. So Jeopardy! Will go into dry dock after tomorrow until right after Labor Day. Anything you guys watch this week of note? I have actually been movie intensive. Don, do you have anything TV wise? The only thing that that's from the last is, the season finale of the Vampire Lestat on AMC. Oh, is that by the way? It's Faith loves it. You hate it. We're both kinda should we even start next year? Oh, wow. Is we finished this year. Was still kinda really I it's we may not be like, who cares next year on this one. Oh, wow. Yeah. I think that's the first time he's brought one up that he's been like that too. Yeah. And and Don usually has really good TV recommendations. So I I put stock in that. Yeah. Thank you. Let's talk about that ABC, Hulu, ESPN, Fox, FX, Disney plus conglomerate. Season fourteen of Futurama will kick off August 3. Nice. As long as there's never a Jurassic Bark episode again, I'm okay. Season three of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is set for November 20. I know Alex. I believe that was announced today. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. And on the other side of the coin well, actually, we'll we'll do this, and then we'll go to the other side of the coin. They're also doing a series based on the comic series afterlife with Archie. This is the Archie comics kind of a dark they're doing a a animated series that's gonna be for Halloween of next year. Wasn't wasn't that what Riverdale was? It's I think it's a little darker in Riverdale. Oh, thanks. And now to the other side of the coin, they have gotten rid of good morning football. Oh, there's there's a lot of those kind of things going on right now. And people that have been laid off this week in the first one in the middle of the show. Yep. First of all, shout out RC. I love Ryan Clark. I'm a huge fan. First inside the NFL. Now this. I like the guy, and I hate this for him. You know what? Kudos to him for coming out where people were like, oh, they yanked him off TV. He said, no. I got the blurb or the notification that I was no longer employed. I asked them if I should leave and they said, yeah, you probably should. And he said, well, thank you for allowing me a gracious exit. And it you know what? Classy move by him, not the company. Cam Newton laid off. Not a big loss. David Lloyd. Yeah. Bart Scott. Big one. Stefania Bell. That that one not that one just flat out pisses me off. I'm not gonna lie. Charles Davis. Ugh. Tom Pellacero. That one was I wanna say a word that starts with bull and ends with a different word. And Carl Ravich. That's a middle finger. And McAfee's about to get paid. Well, that that's already did you see the other rumor about college game day? I know that all I know the only only other McAfee thing I heard this week is his album drops later this year. Yeah. No. Allegedly, there are rumors that your college game day is going to become McAfee and guest. Oh, no. That would be very sad. Oh, look at Fisher doing a doing a, doing a vignette. Nice. But yeah. No. It's $60,000,000 a year for McAfee's show to be licensed and then them to do that. And man, they really don't want me to watch stuff. I almost said the other way. Apple TV plus has said the morning show is gonna end with season five next year. I need to tell my wife about that. She likes that show a lot. Netflix has already renewed tire Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black for season four before season three drops. Cool. And in a baller move by Netflix, I'm I I am giving Netflix props. I'm giving them their flowers here. Over 70 of their kids and family programs is the first phase of this project. They are going to be putting ASL interpreters on doing this. This is the second time this has come up because if you've seen Minions and Monsters, there's actually ASL representation in that film. Shout out to my friends from Blue Sun interpreting who I love dearly, Lael and Jennifer. But not What's ASL? American Sign Language. Oh, sign language. Okay. Thank you. So over I think it was 73 was the exact number. They're starting with their kids and family programs. So, a lot of people are saying they prefer having the ASL interpretation because it diverts less from subtitles, and it tends to go a lot faster so they can keep up with the dialogue better. So shout out to Netflix on that. And Prime Video is rebooting Robocop series. But before we get away from that, did you see the other cool ASL headline? Go for it. Well respected animator Josh Staub has created an ASL kind of duo lingo with his animation. I believe his biggest stuff was the the Wreck It Ralph movies. I think he worked on Frozen and Frozen two as well. But he has specifically made an animated ASL teacher that he has insisted he will never sell so it stays free. So to look that up, I know the the character's name is Oscar, but it's called Smalltalk, an original animated series created by Disney veteran Josh Staub. So Smalltalk ASL will be an a tie in learning app available to teach you ASL while you go through. And Prime Video I'm very interested in this. As a series. Interesting. Got that for you. TV on DVD and Blu ray this week. There's a season one steelbook of the apothecary diaries. This is an anime show. Season one of the paper will be available as we're about to kick off season two. They're doing a 70 anniversary complete series Blu ray for I Love Lucy. Oh. Gonna get Kelly Kitchens on the phone. Absolutely. We had stranger things the complete series. It's coming. We start movie news on a very on a down note for me personally. This past weekend, we lost Kaylee Hoddle at the age of 18. For those of you that may not know her name, speaking of ASL, she was the deaf girl in the Godzilla versus Kong movies. She I actually interviewed her at Greater Austin Comic Con a year or two ago. Absolute she lived in Austin. She was in she was in Maryland, had gotten a car wreck. She was not driving. Just nothing but a delight. Just a kid just trying to live her best life with everything going on. And, friend of the show, Matt Frank has done a limited edition lithograph that all the money will go to her family. Good. Who Matt Frank is. He is the number one guy for doing Godzilla art right now. If you see the Gamera box sets that Arrow video did, He did those. He also with friend of the show, Roberto Pedro, did Pedro did the, did that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles box set that I have. We wanna say the best to her family and friends. That one, I I woke up to that, and it just, man, it it just started my kick back. Oh, I I saw that one, and I had I saw somebody immediately reply that, hey. This hasn't been confirmed or anything, and it was like, okay. There's hope, and then news outlets start to pick it up as this tends to go in our modern circumstance, and it's just you never wanna see something like that. Stuff we watched this week, I don't have anything new. But, Alex, you said you were movie intensive? I seem to be, going into horror a little bit lately as I have finally watched Obsession. Oh. And holy, this movie's good. I'm I like normally I'm the guy that likes to bag on horror because I see it coming or different things like that. This relies on almost zero jump scares and just creep factor from Curry Barker. It's amazing. It's incredibly smart. Incredibly well done with such a limited cast. And Indy Novaret is going to be a bleeping star. She is amazing. Don, I know you join me on the horror aspect. If you have not seen obsession yet, it is on Peacock. It is must watch. Is it? Okay. Yeah. I'd be game on that. It is it is brilliantly done. There is a horror themed pizza place in LA. Mhmm. And they have the the wish thing as a The one wish willow? Yeah. That as an appetizer. That's just like a pull apart mozzarella stick and spread it. I'm reading the, MDiv, thing or whatever. So I I know we can't talk about the movie from last night yet. Correct. To think. I feel like there was something else I watched, but obsession was so so good. I was completely blown away. Right. Don, anything for you? Yeah. Two. One is we saw Is God Is. You watched it? Yeah. You were warned. Yeah. You were warned. Yeah. What'd you think? Different? Weird? Definitely different. It is. Yes. Some stuff you didn't see coming and just it's kind of one of those kinda, you know, let's just kill people kinda thing or kinda weird violence, you know. I could see the reasoning, but, you know, is there betting movies out there? Yeah. Is it gonna make my bottom list? No. Is it gonna make my top 10? No. So K. Wasn't that bad. The other one, believe it or not, which Now I loved it for the record. I loved that. Yeah. Yeah. It it's it was just kinda but I I I I like the point of what they did. And what's what and my thing was what was the truth? They're giving both side or what have you. Mhmm. The other thing is one that it was just on MGM that just premiered with your, buddy, Liam Neeson, Cold Storage. That's on MGM? Okay. I really wanna see this. Yeah. Basically, it's about like outbreak, but add some craziness. Let me know when I can put my ears back in. Yeah. No. It's yeah. I'm I'm not I'm not going from anything from the trailer or whatever the the description from the MDiv. But there's some just put this way, some fun, you could say. They make it interesting, you know? But it it bugged the fantastic Faye Ford so bad. She did this would make her bottom 10 list. Put it this way, if she had one. She because she's just that kind of mentality of let's do what's smart sometimes. And she goes, why don't you do this? Why don't you you know, just thinking, why aren't they doing the smart thing? You know? So it frustrated her. So I I would recommend it. I had fun with it. Just put it that way. Alright. Yeah. Real quick on that though. I did go back. There was one other one. You I think, Rob, you had seen this even though it kinda fit the horror mode, ready or not. I have not yet seen the sequel. Yeah. I know it's Okay. I haven't I didn't see the sequel yet. I still needed to watch the first one. Oh my god. It is so much fun. I can't wait to watch the sequel. I love the first one. I really It was great. Trailer talk. We're going alphabetically. Disney just knows how to make people talk Because the new Avengers Doomsday trailer dropped this week and people are losing their minds. I'm already in. I don't I don't need to see any more trailers, but this trailer was pretty dope. I am not gonna lie. I did not like this trailer. Oh, I loved it. I thought it I thought it looked sloppy, to be honest. I'm still gonna see it. I'm still excited for it, but the trailer did nothing for me. I dug it. Also, the trailer I saw for Behemoth. Behemoth. Yeah. Well, it depends on who you are. Behemoth is a proper pronunciation. It is. I'm just saying. It's phonetical. I forgot what it's about. Pedro Pascal as a cellist. Oh, yes. That this was the teaser for that. Mhmm. I'm interested. It's Pedro Pascal. I'm gonna watch And it's in Urartu. That's true too. The first Clayface trailer, full trailer dropped this week. Mhmm. This is body horror, and I'm out. And I'm assuming it takes place in the Matt Reeves universe. It does. But no. No. No. No. No. No. No. Did I mention the word no? I You say no. I am actually way more interested in this because I love the idea similar to what they did with the animated series where you would have maybe a more action oriented and more detective oriented, a more kind of romance at times, between Bruce and his many flings. But I like the idea that we can have this, and I know we've abused the term cinematic universe all over the place but having this cinematic universe where we can do different types of films, different types of projects especially with, like, the penguin, which was so dramatic on top of the action that and detective work that the movie was, and I loved the movie. The penguin was a great continuation. I am looking forward to Clayface. Saw the trailer for Digger with Tom I still don't know what I'm looking at. Let's just say it had to be a red band. Oh, it absolutely did. Otherwise, you'd have no audio in the entire trailer. Close to it. The words are shots fired? Depends on which shots you're talking. That's Inarotu, isn't it? Inarotu? Yeah. Yeah. Then he Alejandro G. Inarotu. Yeah. So who did Behemoth? Allow me to look that up. I also saw a trailer for a movie called The Incomer. Have you seen this? I have not. No. It's an indie film from Europe about a guy who's sent to this island to basically repo land from this couple. It looks hilarious. And the good thing there the people that come to the island, they're called the I I feel mad at myself. Go ahead. I I I'm mad at myself. It's Tony Gilroy. Oh, okay. They did behemoth. Incomer looks very funny. Mayday. Have you guys seen this trailer? I think I have. Or at least a teaser. It takes place during the cold war. Oh, yes. I have seen this. I cannot stop laughing at the trailer. Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh. What else do you Because when you want somebody to play a Russian, you hire Kenneth Branagh. We have the mongoose, the latest from the Liam Neeson's. Have not seen this. Chiclas is in this. I'm game. Basically, he's a guy that gets framed, and he has to make it to the mongoose, but he just keeps taking cars. Sure. So it's Liam Neeson's grand theft auto. It's, it's fast and peculiar in particular. It's fast and particular. And touchback, this is a faith based movie about a guy who gets injured in high school, and it's it's kind of like remember that baseball movie with, Jim Belushi? Like what? No. No. No. That's, oh my god. Quaid. With Jim Belushi where he wakes up and what if his life had been different? Oh. This one I don't know. It's the it's the same basic premise. So he wakes up and he's in high school again. Ah, I I apologize. I thought you were talking about Dennis Quaids, the rookie where he gets another shot. I that's on me. I apologize. Wanna remind everybody here in the Metroplex coming up, man Monday and Tuesday nights at 9PM at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium is the big Harry Potter drone show. Nice. So make sure you go check that out. There's gonna be a lot of really cool stuff they're doing like a pre show with people in costumes and stuff, and I love drone shows. So go for it. The Cinerama Dome in LA, as we know, has been having its own set of issues over the years. It has now been bought by Sony and will be operated by the Alamo. I don't know that that's a good thing anymore since the new Alamo has not been great. Got some news from Taylor Sheridan's Call of Duty movie. Oh, really? It's gonna take place in the modern warfare universe. That that's the easiest thing to shoot. Plus, it is the richest story in those video games because once you get into black ops, it gets really weird. Or if you go back to world at war, it's not really deep. But the modern warfare even if you just go through, I would recommend looking up on YouTube for just the modern warfare cut scenes to watch it like a show. It's actually some really incredible acting voice acting and writing. Coleman Domingo is teaming up with Robert O'Hara for a live access action, princess Tiana story. It is not the princess of frog, but it will be the princess and the frog adjacent. Yes. So Yeah. I I didn't see if it was supposed to be before or after, but that was one thing that Coleman Domingo made sure to clarify. And we put call you got Coleman Domingo. You have me. Pretty much. Yes. We talked about Ryan Reynolds early. He has confirmed that we are getting a fourth Deadpool movie. He said there's some other things that he wants to explore with the character. So I have faith in the Ryan Reynolds. Remember the movie Longshot a couple of years ago? Is that, Charlize Theron? Yes. Yeah. The Longshot. Yeah. What was that about? She was a It was a political movie, basically. He's in talk to direct the sequel to Days of Thunder. Is Tom Cruise gonna be in that thing? Yep. Yeah. It worked for Top Gun Maverick. It you know what? As much as I doubted Top Gun when they first announced it, Maverick proved it for me. I'm gonna let him run with it. And speaking of that, Glenn Powell announced to work with Richard Lanklatter on a Gluegarig biopic. You know what? They put up a side by side. That's pretty solid casting. So what? Is he gonna be in the senior league or something? What? Probably will be mentoring. He's going back to the prior thing. Oh, He's probably gonna mentor a younger driver. Or he's gonna be Duvall. I was gonna say, like Bobby Duvall did for him. Bobby Duvall. Honestly, if if if it's really what we think it could be, we should just go watch f one. But I have faith in that team to give us something new. In movies and theaters this weekend, friend of the show, James Faust has some buddies responsible for a movie called bad counselors. Ah. So go check that out, this weekend. We also have a horror thriller called Cruel Hands that hits theaters this week. And a mother and her son hide out in an abandoned farm on the run from an abusive husband taking place during the twenty nineteen brush fires and emerge as emergency service struggled to track down the missing family. They it begins to uncover that not as all as it seems. Interesting. Also this week, Hadestown, the musical goes to the big screen. So if you haven't seen that, you have a chance to watch it in the theater now. We also have something that I believe, even though this is listed as a comedy horror mystery, if this does not wind up on how did this did this get made, I will be sad. It's called haunted heist. You mentioned this very briefly on a prior episode, but did not go into detail. It's directed by Lil Rel Howery. Okay. I'm in. I don't need anymore. I don't need anymore. Four strange friends reunite at a house where one plans to find a valuable antique by robbing it. However, the haunted house's ghosts forced them to overcome differences to survive. Tiffany Haddish is in this. Brett Gellman is in this. Oh, there's nobody else I really recognize off the bat in this thing. Also this week, Her Private Hell, this has been getting a lot of Sophie Thatcher is in this. This has been getting a lot of traction. We've been getting quite a few emails on this one. Yes. Hypnotic unhinged thriller with an original story promising of plenty glamour, sex, and violence. Sure. I I have watched the trailer. I still don't know what I saw. Well, because it's Nicholas Winding Griffin. Uh-huh. You mean NWR? Well, whatever. Also Motor City with the Richton. I I I need to I need to text somebody and ask, hey. Why? Why didn't we get to see this already? Let's see here. It's nineteen seventies Detroit. John Miller falls for a local gangster's girl. In retaliation, the gangster enacts a frame job to send the innocent man to prison. Life ruined. Miller plots a revenge campaign against the man who took his girl away. Ben Foster and Woodley are also in this. Ben Foster is the gangster. Yeah. And Pinocchio unstrung because we go back to Oh god. No. Movies on DVD and Blu ray this week, devil wears Prada two. Okay. I think it's already streaming on Peacock. I believe it is. In the gray, which I've been wanting to see. Same. So, the aforementioned is God is that Don talked about a little while ago. Lupin the third, the movie for the immortal bloodline. You're into that. Mortal Kombat two also coming to streaming next week. I already own it. Pressure, which okay. Oh, sorry. Was just remembering pressure. Four k upgrades for comeback to the 5 and dime Jimmy Dean, which is a movie I think from the sixties. End of watch gets a four k upgrade. Really? Explorers, which is a a very underrated film from the eighties. We're getting Kill Bill, the whole bloody affair this week. Already available on Peacock. You're getting I know Alex are gonna really mad about this, and I apologize ahead of A limited edition steelbook for Overlord. I'm not gonna be mad about that. It just means I have to go buy the limited edition and give you my four k Fair enough. And force you to watch it while I tied up on your couch. Also the classic pillow talk, it's a four k upgrade and a four k limited edition steelbook for South Park bigger, longer, and uncut. Nice. Arrow Video does their release of in the mouth of madness this week as well as limited editions. The outfit looks cool. The So real back on the Peacock kill Bill. Did you see that thing, Alex, of the He saw it in the theater. I reviewed it, Don. Yeah. That's why I thought you did. Yeah. Yeah. Is there was there a lot extra more in there? Well, if you go to my review at stolenwatermedia.com That's still our website. Me talk about it all the way through. Okay. But the outfit looks really cool. It's moved from the seventies. Is is that the one with Dylan O'Brien that released on Peacock a few years ago? No. This is from the seventies. Oh, okay. I wonder if that was remake. They're doing a no. It's not. It's completely different movie. Gotcha. Okay. And, and they're doing a limited edition of short and green. Oh, boy. So you got that going for you. We do wanna remind you to go to the new website, stolenwatermedia.com. We just talked about it a second ago where all the shows are. We're actually live on the page now every week there too, so keep your eye out for that. And in the meantime, this. The other part of this show is the cheat podcast where we talk about all the things in the world of professional wrestling. Don's gotta go. We'll see him next week. I'm Let it out. By the way, next Wednesday we're we're gonna be at, we're gonna be doing a little bit of a on-site next Wednesday. So be ready for that. And couple weeks later, we're gonna be doing our fantasy draft. Don, we'll talk about it later. Alright. Later. Alright. So before we get out of the movie talk, I wanted to touch on one thing. Everybody who keeps saying, oh my god, they cast Liam McIntyre as Wolverine. No. That was for the video game. That was not a movie thing. The only thing of note from Impact last week was that Mila Moore is now part of order four because now that Tessa Blanchard's not there anymore, they had to do something other. See space, fill space. It's kinda the TNA thing at times. Saturday night's main event was a thing. Oh god. It sucks. And new women's tag team champions and fatal influence. The right call. Then the cat was cat. I see what you did there, Dan Hausen. I like the reworking of Lyra's music. It is solid. And I with it. I I can see her being more comfortable as this character because of how much experience she has doing it. It's really it's really helping her pop. Like, he's already become a favorite to win money in the bank according to multiple people. Did you watch Iron Man by chance? Unfortunately, I did. What was going on with Wade Barrett's mic? I I think it just kept getting dropped out. MSG and these older venues seem to have audio issues, but Wade Barrett also teased something else during that that I had been talking about, which is the Rock Roman at Mania thing. Because he started teasing the MFT's, which I said as the mercenaries for Rock, he he kinda teased that. And Aldis versus Gunther is official for SummerSlam. As we all saw coming. And I need people to go and look up Nick Aldis. This isn't just a one off for some guy. Yeah. That guy I think he actually held the NWA's world's championship longer cumulatively than anyone else. Sweet Charlotte. Oh, yeah. I hope he has his gambler trunks and everything. I really, really do. Tripleah has added an event to WrestleMania week called Eternal Glory. They're gonna be doing tons of events stateside too. That's the rumor because they're trying to get ahead of AEW in that rumor. But Chic Tormenta has left Triplaya. Yeah. So She'll she'll wind up at the crash, or they'll wind up at the crash. Well, but, you know, I would say she's going back to Wow, but we don't have it on our local anymore, and I'm not Yeah. Going to another service to watch stuff. Announced today, starting on Monday, WWE radio is coming to SiriusXM channel one fifty six. It's gonna replace the nation twenty four seven. They're saying they're gonna be doing audio simulcasts of their programming. For instance, Vic Joseph and Booker T are going to do a separate commentary track for SummerSlam with them. They'll be Dino, I like the idea of an alternative track. That is not the duo I would go for. We did it first. Daily talk shows, official double double double double e podcasts, and, busted open will stay there. It'll be the morning show. Of course, it will. So, SmackDown, Somebody's watching the show. And we might know who it is. Yeah. And I really thought that four way is gonna happen. I really thought You know what? You had me sold on it. I was like But that's great that's great storytelling. That's great booking. This was me just like resisting urge to reach for phone in case Alex not watching yet. Yep. And I I luckily I was watching. I got caught up to live because they did another out of sequence Braun Strowman that did my DVR didn't catch. Shall. Nothing really on raw, dude. It was a rough episode of raw for me. I feel like we're in a holding pattern that we usually see leading up to, like, Survivor Series where it's like we're telling two stories, the rest are thrown together. And you're still manger coming in a over a week. Yeah. But allow me to also say this. Have they even given us two nights worth of matches? Not yet. Have they given us more than one? I mean, I'm looking forward to the latter match. Absolutely. Sadly, it's happening, but I am looking forward to that. But what I'm saying is is I could tell you why those tickets aren't selling. NXT had a couple interesting notes. Mhmm. Tony D blocking the mist was kinda cool. Gotcha. And then enter Santana. So here we go. Bone nasty. Let's go, Mike. Nothing for collision or dynamite. Yeah. It's on the top of the week. We wanna shout out Athena who has now passed Roman Reigns modern day championship record. Which means she is now free to drop it to Maya World. And last week's episode was two thirty eight. But the line of the night, though, the kingdom, the OGK had a match. Mhmm. Matt Taven hits a ring, and I'm Matt Taven. And then Mike Bennett gets to the camera and goes, I'm not Matt Taven. I'm his best friend. That's pretty good. So and that's really that's really Well, you you have the other wrestling headline that you said you would do, but I don't know if you have done it yet. I don't know. Did I? Club? Oh, you and I both have purchased club WWE memberships. Yep. And the official goes live on the thirty first. So we we do have a leg up. We do have if we see anything that makes it worthwhile or whatever, check out our socials. Did you see they have posted a picture of what the founders pack is going to include? I did see that. And one of those is a $100 on its own. Yes it is. Now should be should it be what I hope it is? We're gonna find out.
