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…
It is 08:00 on the East Coast. It is 05:00 on the West Coast. It is the October 15 in the year of our lord 2026 season 17 episode fourteen seven hundred eighty seven times. You have been welcome to the Clubhouse Podcast, your one stop shop for all things sports entertainment, pop culture, and pro wrestling. Welcome. My name is Rob. I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse Podcast, and sometimes I wave my hands in the air, and I just don't care. And I'm upgrading equipment tonight, so we'll see how this goes. But I am not by myself. We are skating in full strength that way. Oh, I gotta be a lot closer now. That way for me is my cohost and a man that even though we hung out on Saturday night, I don't... I feel like it's been like a month since this song. He is Alex. What's going on, man? It has been a really long week. That's like, I feel like I have full luggage under my eyes. I am still exhausted and burnt. I cannot wait to rest. And the official fact checker of Sooner Gator Productions is a man who just keeps changing his alliances, and I don't know why. You may know him as Nick Bunu, but his mom named Don Ford. I'm a call him Don Ford. Hey, man. This might help. Yeah. You forgot to unmute him. I I don't... That actually a... Is that still a Chelsea? That's a Chelsea. It is. This is the new... This is this year's jersey. That's what it is. Okay. This is the one that they're And now he's frozen. What? Oh, you still have me, right? Yeah. Okay. We just have Don in freeze frame. If he was tossing a hat in the air, you know? Yeah. Let me just go ahead and go back to the solo on me while we Yeah. Let's let let him catch up. Let's get into it. College football this past weekend. Let's talk about it because it... I I gotta remember to look here and not here. Here. Yep. Not here. Here and not here. Okay. College football this past weekend, another crazy weekend. I mean, Iowa wins big. BYU edges out against Iowa State. Indiana beats Nebraska by a field goal. Yeah. Well, Nebraska's been playing good. They've been playing well, sir. That's fair. I was just trying to be in, colloquialism. I do my... Oh, I think we've got them back now. We do have them. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like that play out very much. Let's try that one. Okay. Mizzou over A and M as that free fall continues. Oklahoma State beats up on UCF. Always a good day. Yep. North Carolina upsetting pit. Yeah. What happened? I thought they had a chance this year to make the top 12 to be one of the sacrificial Belich had some video on the pit offense. That's why. Oh, did he? Okay. Alright. South Florida gets whooped up. Not believe that Rob just let that slide by. You're gonna move it. Florida gets whooped up on again. Yep. By South Carolina. By the way, speaking of South Carolina, get ready. I believe it's this weekend is the release of the thirtieth anniversary of Hootie and the Blowfish's second album, Fairweather Johnson, and you can preorder now. And it does come with their entire unplugged performance that was done on the campus of the University of South Carolina. Very much looking forward to giving that a spin. Notre Dame all over Stanford. Houston beats Kansas State, Mississippi all over Vandy, and all is back to normal in the world. UCLA upsetting the Oregon ducks. Mhmm. As as the the chaos of the top 25 continues. Tennessee beats Arkansas by a touchdown. Ohio State all over the terps. LSU upset again by, you guessed it, Kentucky. You gotta listen to me, people. Never look past the University of Kentucky even in football because they have... They are notorious for ruining your day. Trust me. I know. And it seems to always line up with when the basketball team is disappointing, which they've done for, like, three seasons now. So the football team is having the Randall Cobb year. USC over Penn State. Georgia does beat Alabama for the first time in the regular season in, like, six years. It's been a minute. Yeah. Utah over Kansas and Boise State cracking it back into the top 25. They beat Fresno State by a touchdown. But let's talk about Saturday afternoon, boys, right down the street in our fair bird. Yeah. I had that feeling. That's that's why we brought it up. I brought it up last week. I'm like And we were all in agreement. It... It's the records that don't matter, but I did have Texas, which was wrong. I mean, Oklahoma was getting seven and a half in that game, which at the time made sense. Of course. Because number one team in the country. Oh, wait a minute. As Oklahoma intercepts on the final drive and then kicks the field goal to win, this game is as close as that score says it was. I mean, if you look at the record of how that game progressed, nobody was running away with this thing. No. Not at all. Were at a local establishment for a live event. And, while we were waiting for them to get it working, I walked out into the lobby and saw the score, and I was like, I'm I'm sorry. What? Mhmm. I walked back into the theater, and I was like, Oklahoma's driving. It's late in the fourth, and they're only down seven. Alex immediately fires up the feed on his phone. I was watching the Yahoo updates on mine. It... I mean, this thing was I will say Rob's was about thirty to forty five seconds ahead. Oh, was I was was I that far ahead? Yes. So I thought I was closer because I looked I will tell you there is a new level, and I am doing this for humor's sake, sir. I want you to acknowledge that first. Okay. There is nothing better than having your closest friend reading what's happening to the game you have money on in front of you and being so excited about you losing without him knowing it. Fair enough. Yeah. But I don't hold that against you. You were excited. I'm not gonna yuck your yum. These teams, they circle this every year on the calendar. Oh, they they iron this into things. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's no different than, Ohio State and Michigan at the end of the year. I I respectfully say that is that is secondary to this because you need a neutral site. I get the home and home aspect, but until there is a neutral site for the big game, quote unquote, it's just another big 10 game between rivals. Now the the thing about this one is that there is and has always been that neutral site that they both migrate to. And so we're... And just so we're clear, still a great game to watch. Absolutely. Especially when you don't have a rooting interest. Mhmm. So, let's get into the NFL last Thursday night. My upset of the week. You called it. And I I still took Tampa Bay in the points. We all had Tampa Bay with the points, but Don did say upset of the week. Yep. So you got that going for you. We had the game in London on Sunday morning where there were eight injections before the ball was even kicked. Before I was awake, to be honest. As as Philly does not cover. Oh, no. They did. They covered because you got the plus seven and a half, but the Jaguars are the last second field goal. When... I I was on three wide this week, and I said this was the week of teams snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. What a finish. Oh my god. What a finish. How do you not just kick that out of the end zone? Patrick And my favorite part, did you see the pettiness from Cam Little? I don't know. I didn't. Okay. Do you remember where this game was beyond just London? I mean, specific. Wembley. I believe this was Tottenham. No. Last week was Tottenham. This week was Wembley. Okay. Cam Little came to the podium after the game in a Man U jersey. And that was a mostly Philly crowd, so there was some vitriol there. Packers back on track. How do you like that offense where it's like just chuck it 60 yards every spring? Was a happy sportsman this weekend. Yes. He was. Well, he's had a rough go this season. Giving one and a half, and they didn't need it as they beat Chicago 31 to seven as a wise man once said they are who we thought they were. Let's see. Texans all over the titans. Mhmm. As everybody has been. Oh, goodness mercy. But that's just two bad teams. Bengals beat the dolphins, but not nearly as bad as I thought they would. But, actually, I wanna go back. Houston has not nearly been as bad this season as it appears by record. If you look at the underlying statistics, they are actually the bet... They were going into the game as the best o and four team ever recorded in stat track era. Now they are one of the best one in four teams in stat track era. Dolphins only only lose by a touchdown. That game wasn't that close. That was a lot of garbage time. That was a backdoor. Yeah. But not nearly the beating I thought it was gonna be. No. No. Not not at all. But So There was also the surprise active of both Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase. So Raiders, now they are who we thought they were as New England opens a can on them and puts 45 on them, with Drake May and four touchdown passes. Yeah. We're gonna see how many Josh Allen gets this week. And hello, Fernando Mendoza. It's all I'm saying. Vikings all over the saints kinda sorta in a way. The jets By Minnesota standards. The jets are two and three as they beat the browns by five. Don, your steelers are back. They're back, baby. Give him three win by 12. Yep. I'm gonna come back to this game because Okay. We're gonna be talking about this next one for a minute. Broncos all over chargers that are charging. Lions all over the cardinals as everybody expected them to be. Yep. Have such awesome unis for such a bad team. Their color rush is probably my favorite Ali. No. This one I have to own. I thought Arizona was gonna try and keep up because Detroit's defense was bad. Everything was bad for Arizona. I can't take credit on everybody to thinking that. I said Niners Hawks was gonna be America's game of the week, and it was. What a great game. San Francisco plus three. I did hate it because they win it outright. I I I hate that it ended on that botch of a review. Ravens beat the falcons by a touchdown. Lamar Jackson supposed to be back this week. Maybe. Hopeful. And Bills Rams goes to overtime. Yeah. Josh Allen now passes Priest Holmes in rushing touchdowns and is staring Eric Dickerson in the face. Mhmm. This is the world we live in. Dude's built like a fullback. They kept saying it on air, and they're not wrong. You're the MVP. That was a fun one. You're the MVP till somebody tells you otherwise. Well, technically, he wasn't the MVP last year. Getting back to the craziest game of the week. So it's so dumb. So dumb. How do I say this? I'm a need you to Google time management, clock management. Because... Oh, I think I've got another hole in my roof. Oh, jeez. Jalen Daniels. Jayden. Oh, yeah. Jalen's the one that plays for Tampa. Tampa. See, this is gonna this is gonna drive me to the brink multiple times this season, and I'm just telling you. You have been in this league for longer than a cup of coffee. You know how overtime rules work. I don't... This was terrible clock clock management by the head coach who's not known for not choking things away. Look at the scoreboard. It's all you gotta do, bro. Like, this was such a debacle. I'm watching this on red zone, and not only did red zone play it back, like, four times, they played it back with the audio multiple times. So you couldn't live What are they doing? The giants get away. Cam Scataboo is happy with a tie. Yeah. I mean, they played that, like, four times. This And then I'm on my couch going, am I... Is this happening right here? And I didn't see who it was. It was either Chigakonkwo or one of the linemen in the locker room. They were like, did he know you... That you guys didn't have timeouts or whatever? He's like, yeah. That's all we talked about in that huddle. I have no idea what happened. And it's like, oh, that's not a good endorsement from your teammate. What a power down. And and the giants were getting three and a half. Yeah. So that's a win, kids. Let's move on tonight. I got one question. Yes, Don. On that OT, like, you look at the, Ravens game where they went to OT and the Ravens got the ball first, got the touchdown, but there was only, like, two minutes left in that OT period with only one possession. Do you think that the team who gets the second possession should be able to finish that run even if it goes over the ten minutes? No. No. No. Okay. No. No. Because if you think about it, there's two ways about it. You win the coin toss, and a lot of teams are deferring so they know what they have to do. So Ravens and any run strong team should do this. This should be their methodology. It was a brilliant decision. Run the clock, burn time, get as far as you can. I guarantee you that a 100% of NFL coaches would take a nine minute and fifty five second drive where they just kick it and win it and be done. A 100% of them would do this. If the program taught us anything Mhmm. Run the ball, control the clock. Yep. Tonight about to kick off right now. If you're watching us live, and you should be This is gonna be my favorite jersey matchup of the year. I'm just saying it. I mean, they just did a thing in the pregame where... I mean, look at this, the the end zone doing the whole thing within. Oh, man. The entire throwback. We are in Denver as the broncos are taking on the seahawks. Right now, Seattle giving them two and a half. I don't understand that because the broncos are playing consistent football. See, and to me, I think the seahawks are a definitively better team even with Sam Darnold not being good. The Denver broncos, as much as I thought that they were gonna get better on offense with Sean Payton, they're not there yet. They were still meh last week. I don't think two and a half is enough. Give me Seattle. I I'm not gonna take Denver with the points. Mhmm. I just... Number one, I have Bowenix in both of my fantasy leagues, but I'm not starting him on either one of them. One of them I might be, but the other one, I'm starting Patrick Mahomes because reasons. You'll see why in a minute. But one of them, he did really well. And the other one, Gruber's beat me like a drum. He beat me by, like, 50. I'm not kidding. I'm not joking. So I just... My gut tells me, give me Denver plus the points. Don, what you got? And what's the point you say? Two and a half? Two and a half. Yeah. Since this is in Denver, in Seattle's at sea level, and this is so high and being in that in the in that stadium there, that home field means a lot in that stadium. I'm gonna say I'll take the donkeys on this one. I'm on the island, but don't worry. Both of these teams are used to being high, Don. We're back in Wembley again. I mean, I... Yeah. I think last week was what? Not him. This week is Wembley. Yeah. So... Yeah. It was Tottenham, which is why there were so many Philly fans because Tottenham and Fulham are rivals. Jags are owned by the Fulham owners. That's why it was the noted. Texans, Jaguars in Wembley, 08:30 central, Sunday morning. Mhmm. Jacksonville giving two and a half. I I said this on three wide this week, and I stand by it. If week one has taught us anything, it's the team that's in the city longer tends to have the advantage. Jacksonville's been there for two weeks. Give me Jacksonville minus two and a half because they're they're chilling at the crib, basically. Ouch. Very true. And it's a great point that they are... Have stayed England side, so to speak. I wanted to take Houston. I like the move to get Marvin Harrison back with his college quarterback, but he's also gonna have to get acclimated to the offense. Jacksonville is playing well. The only thing that could possibly save Houston is if Jacksonville is still on a high and looking past this week. I don't think they will. I agree with Jacksonville minus two and a half. Don. I agree with what Rob was saying. They've been there for the last week. They're accustomed to the time change, everything. When they get back from The UK, they're gonna have to adjust again because they've been there so long. But, I think that they have the advantage with the Jags being there. Mhmm. Bears falcons starts the afternoon set on Sunday. Chicago's giving one and a half. Again, I don't trust the falcons. I don't. I gotta look up here. I don't trust the falcons. Give me the bears minus one and a half because even if they win by a field goal, I win. Alex. That's an interesting way to put it. Kayla Williams should be back. Michael Penix is dealing with a rib injury. Chicago's defense after getting lit up in week one has been much better, especially on takeaways, but Atlanta has looked really good. Give me Chicago. Don. This is a tough one, especially when, like, what happened with the falcons last week in the OT and everything like that. I just don't trust them. I'm gonna take the the bears on this one. Alright. Cleveland Stadium hosting the Ravens. Lamar Jackson currently day to day with the ankle. I think this is a bounce back. I think that the browns just... They're they're gonna browns. They're gonna do what they do. Baltimore giving three and a half. I'm not saying it ain't enough, but it's gonna be enough that the that the ravens will cover. Alex. Yeah. If I was betting on this one, wink wink, I would be jumping all over the three and a half to try and get some value out of Lamar to potentially being back because the Ravens actually looked pretty good with Snoop Huntley. They did not look out of their depth. It was one of the reasons they wanted to make sure to keep Tyler, keep Huntley because he knows the offense because he has some of the same skills as Lamar. Obviously, not to that level, but give me the Ravens at three and a half before the number goes up. Denver already with a sack. Two. Already, yeah, now two in a row. That first... That nobody even touched that dude. Yeah. Alright. Don, got You know you know me in the division game. This is gonna be close. But with that point spread, I just think that Baltimore being four and one, I think they'll have the edge on this one even though it won't be close. I'll still take them on the points. The Tennessee snooze fest continues. Titans coming to town. Indy's giving them seven. Just give me Indy because I'm not... This this is even worth going into a a a shallow dive in. Give give me the colts. See, the titans have started to come around on defense with the influence of Robert Sala and some other coaching, additions for the titans. They're not there yet. It's the fast track at Lucas Oil. I I like the colts, but this... If it... This would be like Don calling for the tie. I feel like this is spot on to be a push. So if you're asking me to pick a side, I'm gonna take the titans and the points. Don. This being this high, I'm gonna say for the rest of the year, I'm gonna do my upset of the week, and I think this is the upset of the week where the titans actually win. I mean, it's... You're not putting yourself too far out there, but it's far enough that I'll give you credit for it. Yeah. That's a that's a full touchdown. That's a fair that's a fair pull for an upset of the week even though It may not be. I really do hope he's wrong this time. That might... I could call this my episode of the week where titans actually win. We'll we'll put it this way. My wallet Oh, yeah. Really? He's wrong. Yeah. Wallet. What? Gillette Stadium hosts the jets. New England giving seven and a half. If you asked me this two weeks ago, I'm tempted to take the jets with the points. After last week, Drake May is starting to get the wheels moving. This team is starting to look like something that could give the bills fits by the end of the season. I don't think this is a blowout, but it'll be enough to go, oh, JETS, choke, choke, choke. Oh, and Alex has been on the camera the whole time. I meant to go to a three shot, but that's okay. I was just curious. Oh, did you hit mute? Okay. Yeah. No. I actually agree that I think it's going to be the Patriots, but this screams at seven and a half with the hook. This screams like it's looking for a backdoor cover because Vrabel is not one of the guys that likes to put his foot down. Yes. Drake May has looked infinitely better the last couple of weeks than he did the first three, but the jets don't look terrible at seven and a half. I'm gonna take the underdog in a division game. Don. You know, I know it's patriots at home, but they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Mhmm. I'm just gonna say, do you what? I agree with Alex on this with the line being seven and a half. If it was three, no way. But seven... Yes. Yes. I agree with the hook was on the other side at six and a half, I'd probably flip it. Saints go to MetLife Stadium to play the NL East leading giants. NL East leading giants. You know what I mean? The NFC. Even though baseball's dead to me at this point. That is also fair. I can't... I don't know. I... My brain has been offline all week. Giants are giving one and a half. I I think that the bookmakers on this are underestimating the New York giants and overestimating the New Orleans saints. I am still not convinced. This is the best one in... Or it's the best fooling one in four team in the league. I am still not buying Tyler Shuck, the man who really likes his oysters. But I would say give me the Giants minus one and a half. They're at home. They're starting to roll a little bit even though they got away with one last week. Number one, you play who's in front of you. Number two, you take what they give you. Give me the Giants minus one and a half, Alex. The real reason you have a close line on this is because the Saints have been bad except for the fact that they run a ton of plays and they only need to pop one because they have electric playmakers. The Giants have been trying to grind out teams and successfully so in most circumstances. One and a half is too low. I gotta take the Giants even though I... Can we just acknowledge that the New Orleans Saints are one and four, and the team they beat was Baltimore in Baltimore with Lamar Jackson. Because a broken clock is right twice a day. Yeah. I'm with you on the giants at 1.5. Don. Yeah. It's a sweep on this one, especially since they're at home and Seattle's... I mean, New Orleans, the saints are just having that something that happens wrong all the time and not going in their favor. It just doesn't swing their way. So, yeah, I'm... I I agree with you guys on this one. Take the giants. Panthers go to the link. Give me this game four weeks ago, and it's gonna be all over about the crying. Carolina giving the eagles three and a half, which I believe is one of the biblical signs of Armageddon. Yep. But you know what? Give me the panthers. The eagles look terrible. They are... The e... The Philadelphia eagles are in disarray. Yeah. I... This this might not even be fun to watch. This won't be this won't be pleasant for Philly fans. Check every Philly fan at the door for batteries because you're gonna need to, Alex. Well, on top of it, this number is only gonna get worse with the Hertz news today with him being out with a superficial blood clot that has migrated from his calf. So he is out. They have Tanner McKee, who is not terrible as far as backups go, But Carolina has been showing me something, and I feel like I almost have to apologize if I was more willing to admit I was wrong, but I'm not. Carolina's gonna cover this number. It's it's gotta be ugly. You know what? I just think something's gonna happen where eagles are just gonna turn it on again. So I'll take the eagles at home since they are at home. If it isn't Carolina, heck, though. Respect. Acknowledged. Raymond James Stadium. Your Steelers are coming to town, Don. Oh, no. You're giving us two and a half. It ain't enough. No. Dallas was looking past Tampa Bay and got stung. Simple, plain, end of list, end of statement, end of line. Steelers haven't been the Steelers defense as we have seen outside of a few plays against Cooper Rush, and I still feel like that should count for half. But it still doesn't matter. But Jalen Daniels, despite showing a lot of playmaking ability, is still an undrafted rookie and was undrafted for a reason, probably mistakenly. But he's... He wasn't supposed to be something big. This is a game where the steelers defense should feast, and I like them to cover. Don. If I'd say my heart, I'd take the steelers. If I'd said my head, I would take the buccaneers. And this week, I'm gonna take my heart and take the steelers on this one. I think that might be your first taking the steelers of the year. I don't know. Maybe I think it's number two. Rams hosting the cardinals. Oh. The only double digit line of the week, and this has not moved in two days. Yeah. Chris is gonna be angry. 12 and a half. I am not sold on the Rams. I stand by this. The Rams will win this game. Will they win it by two touchdowns? I honestly don't think they will. I think they'll win it, but give me the cardinals plus 12 and a half for the first time this season. Alex. If you were asking me to system bet, it's the cardinals all day because of its being such a large line. After what happened on Monday, I think we're going to get the fire of this is our last shot. This is going to be the best the Rams are gonna look all season. And I bet they win by three touchdowns. Don. You know what? I just see something wrong on this where I think the Rams have had this, but they still keep on. So I think with the spread being that high, I agree. I'm taking the cardinals. That's just too high of a spread with the points. Chargers charging early this year, and they're gonna continue to charge as we are in the late set as they go to Arrowhead. Chiefs coming off the buy, giving eight and a half. Give me Kansas City all day long, Alex. This was already going to be bad for the chargers, but Andy Reid is one of the best coaches ever, if not the best coach ever coming off of a buy with extra time to prepare. There's a reason that the chiefs do well in the Super Bowl when they make it, and Andy Reid is a mastermind in preparation. But if you want a fun one, look up on social media for the still hasn't won feed because they keep posting the same picture of Justin Herbert and Madison Beer from preseason and just keep posting, yep. The chargers still haven't won a game since this happened. Don. Yeah. That... It's... I already gave my upset of the week, so I'm gonna have to take the chiefs. Yeah. That's why. Get ready to see Justin Herbert in a cardinals uniform. Bills finding out that the autumn wind is a radar. Buffalo giving four and a half. It ain't enough. This this team is rolling. And and the the the Vegas decline has begun, Alex. You think Drake May looked good last week? I get that the raiders are gonna be at home, but in the Doomba, that is a fast track. Josh Allen may have seven touchdowns this week. Give me the bills. Don. Okay. The fantastic Faye Ford, her first draft pick in fantasy was Josh Allen, and she's making some points off him. And I think she... It'll make it... It'll be a happy week for her due to my wife, so I'm gonna have to take the bills. Sunday night football. The Dallas Cowboys go to what soon will be the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Green Bay's giving them a point and a half. Did you not watch what happened this past week in the frozen tundra and in Arlington, Texas? Give me Green Bay all day long. It's that simple. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize this minus one and a half is like manna from heaven if you're a gambler. Alex. What you really want in this one is the over. There is going to be points galore scored in this game. I agree with the small line that it's going to be Green Bay because just look at their offense when they were like, oh, Chicago can't stop the pass. This sounds like another team we're about to be playing. Hey, Jordan Love. Go chuck it 50 yards every time. And for Green Bay. And for the record, that over under is 53. Don. And I'm still taking the over. You know, I I... I've been saying this year, I think this is one of the years where Cowboys just are going to implode with that what happened last week. And I think it's going to even take a little bit longer to get off that that slump they're in. I I cannot take the Cowboys at this at all, Green Bay. Monday night football this week, football team goes to the undefeated Levi's Stadium occupying San Francisco 40 niners. Niners giving seven and a half. It ain't enough. This is still one of the two teams I believe in in this league right now. Mhmm. Rock Purdy is already at almost 1,200 yards passing at this point. Christian McCaffrey is almost 300 yards on the ground with five touchdowns. Mike Evans reminding people who Mike Evans is. Mhmm. When you're hearing Tom Brady reminiscing. Yep. Mike Evans on that game last week, this ain't gonna be close. This might be over before the end of the first quarter. Give me San Francisco minus seven and a half. With an over under a 51 and a half, are you kidding me? They they might score that on their own in this scope. And I mean the San Francisco 49ers. Christian McCaffrey has actually not been very good this year, but he is scoring when they get in close. Mike Evans. Oh, man. Do... Am I gonna be sad the day he stops playing? Because there is just something about the best receiver on the planet while you're learning the game, still doing it at this age. He might already be the second best niners wide receiver of all time. And I'm saying that as a career compendium, so don't come at me unless you just wanna get stomped. San Francisco is gonna win this by double digits. And Alex saying McCaffrey not having a strong ear, he's still averaging almost five yards a carry, if that tells you anything. Don. It's gonna be a slaughter fest. There's... No. No. The the the football club is gonna get spanked. Just remember, you can't spell slaughter without laughter. And before we get out of NFL talk, we would be remiss if we did not talk about the passing of the great Mike Ditka. One of the... A lot of people don't remember the the amazing tight end that he was in his playing days. Almost coached a perfect season except from one Monday night football game. It's a Revolutionized the tight end position. I mean, pop culture icon. I mean, and a lot of people... This is where it kinda gets to me a little bit because a lot of people say he became a pop culture icon after the super fans. I'm sorry, my friend. He was doing commercials long before that's that first sketch ever aired. People knew who Mike Ditka were starting in about 1983. If not earlier. Yeah. I mean, really on a on a mass scale because, again, a lot of people don't remember his playing days. They only remember his coaching days, which makes sense. But the man, he he loved the game. He coached the game. He's got rings. Mhmm. I mean, 86, heck of a run, and I'm here for it. God bless you, sir. And and there's something to be said. You you have the greatest of all time. You have most touchdowns, most catches, most, most, most, most. But when you're the only guy to do something, Mike is the only person to ever score a touchdown in a Super Bowl and coach a win in the Super Bowl. The man revolutionized a position that was just considered an extra lineman. He was the tight end that changed that. And if you want a really interesting one, go see when Will Ferrell was on Rich Eisen telling the story about how tough Ditka was. Like, I'm not gonna do it justice, but when it's a story about how tough you are and Will Ferrell plays it straight because of how crazy it is, that tells you enough. Don, anything you wanna add? Yeah. Because put it this way. He hits... Had that image. And, again, they think him as, you know, being on the shoulders after the Super Bowl and all that as a coach. But, you know, he was an icon, and he was a player with Dallas and won Super Bowls and even before and and everything else. But the thing was is that when... Even as an announcer, he had that upfrontness of I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. He'd say these guys are gonna get spanked. Mhmm. You know, he was upfront about it. Well, I don't know well, it might be a tough... No. They're gonna get spanked. And that's what a lot of people liked about him because he was He was direct. Yeah. He was direct. He was direct, but kind. He didn't have to be mean about it. He just had to be factual. Exactly. And there's a lot of great stories that also came out about this. The other one, did you all hear the story about the cheerleader? No. I'm not sure that I did. So during his heyday as the Chicago bears head coach, he's sitting in first class. A mother and a roughly three year old daughter come through, and she stops to look at him, sees his mustache. He's being nice to the kid, And he looks at the the mother. He says, that's a really beautiful little girl. And she goes, that's nothing. Watch this. Hey, honey. Who's the president of The United States? Little girl just goes, Mike Ditka. Years later when he was coaching the Chicago Rush, yeah, that that little girl was one of the dancers for the team. And when he made sure to introduce himself to every member of that staff, she told him, you're never gonna believe this, but this isn't the first time that we've met. He remembered the story. Oh, wow. He remembered the little girl that thought he was the president. And she's like, that's so crazy. And he goes, are you kidding me? I've been using that story for forty years now. My my favorite moment of the super fans was Ditka versus a hurricane. Hold on. The hurricane's name is Ditka. It's my... It just... That and the Michael Jordan in the hula skirt. Mhmm. Stuff. Stuff. Stuff. Stuff. Stuff. Rest rest in peace, sir, please. Television talk stuff we watched this week. I am three episodes behind on John Oliver. I'm one episode behind on have I got news for you, and I have not sit sat down to binge the rest of 10 lasso. Gentlemen. So the two things that finished, and I don't believe I was there at this point last week. So lanterns, excellent finish. Totally pays off a lot and shows a pathway. I'm trying to be vague just to not spoil. And oh my god, Ted Lasso. Oh, that finish crying, joyful crying. Okay. And... Oh god. I can't wait till you get caught up so we can talk about stuff. Don, what you got? I got two episodes left of live. I'd like to call him Theodore Lasu. It's just my nickname for... It's a it's a respectful nickname I like to call the guy, but I got two left. So I'm almost there. I know what you're saying. The other one is the war on, I think it was HBO. HBO. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. I could see some stuff happening. There's been two episodes. We got those two on there. Started to watch it. I don't know. The first episode was okay. Second one's kinda getting... So possibilities. Do you do you see it as possible setup for other angles and Oh, yeah. Of course. On this one, yes. Okay. I didn't first one started was a real good step. The second one that's kinda going, why are you going this way? Who knows? But but the reason I ask is sometimes we see that where something starts strong, and then it's where are we going? Yeah. And you can either see there's kind of a light or you're just like, oh, they only had one, but they wanted series. Yeah. We'll we'll see. I don't know. I'll give you a time. Give you a more. Getting into headlines this week, ABC, Disney plus Hulu, ESPN. They have canceled daredevil born again after season three. To be fair To be fair. The reports are that it's not necessarily being canceled as much as it's ending, giving hope to the MCU and possible other team up projects. Fair enough. The Bob's Burger holiday episode will debut December 7, so be ready for that. I still maintain no show does holiday episodes as well as Bob's Burgers. But nobody does holiday episodes overall better than Lettertony. Individual holidays. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. They are now... Because they're not gonna give up on this thing. Disney has committed to this thing, and they're not giving up. You're now getting an animated adaptation of Artemis Fowl, which I didn't think it was that bad. Wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. Well, when you pay a bunch of money for something, you're gonna ride it until it bucks you. They have given Ryan Coogler's x files reboot a series order. Good. And in more news that just makes me shake my head when it comes to Disney, Just because it worked for pirates of the Caribbean does not mean you need to make a series out of spaceship earth. What are we doing? You cannot make a series out of God's golf ball. I I... You know, I have a real hard time fighting with you on this one. I want to fight with you because spaceship Earth has such a near and dear place. A great plot. But But there's I don't know what you do. History. Like, literally. Like, honestly, it feels almost like they're gonna try and recreate doctor who based on... If you know anything about the ride, they're gonna try and recreate doctor who in some form, and it's gonna fall flat. CBS Skydance Showtime. They have renewed Avatar seven Havens for seasons three and four, and they have officially announced that Frisco King is going to kick off December 18, and they have said that, Stolen will make an appearance on that show. Yep. So, HBO Max, TBS, TNT, they've decided that you're getting a limited series that starts shooting next year. Five episodes. They're bringing back girls with the original cast. Watched that episode. Neither did I. And NBC Peacock Universal Telemundo, rumors are swirling. SNL is off this week and next week, and then you'll have the Halloween episode. But the rumor is that the dis... That the November 7 episode will be a milestone because the... Your rumored host is the. Oh. Mhmm. And he would be the first digital creator to host SNL. That's the rumor. That's... It is not verified either way. I I will say he... Yeah. D r u ski. Yeah. He's he's been on WWE programming. He he has he has been very popular. He has been very controversial in certain aspects, but very funny. I'll give him that. One of the few people who I said, am I supposed to know who this is? And has come to earn some of my respect. It's a thing. TV on DVD and Blu ray this coming Tuesday, season one of the agency, if you watch that. Also season one of heated rivalry. Also season one of untamed. Also season one of The Walking Dead, The Ones Who Live. You can get a two pack of seasons one and two of Shrinking this coming week. I recommend that. Season two and the complete series for The Sandman that Netflix did. Season three of the morning show, season five of Abbott elementary. And I'm saying this specifically because it was still this then. Seasons twenty seven and twenty eight of South Park, because they haven't seen yet. Adventure Time, the complete series. The complete original series of the Brady Bunch. Love that The complete series of regular show. Oh. Not much to talk about in movie talk this week. If I can on the... On TV before we leave that, what do you think is gonna happen with Troy Aikman at the end of the year? Because they're talking free. He's gonna go somewhere else. You think so? He will leave. From what I'm reasoning, even he and Joe Buck are getting into it backstage. Oh, okay. Whether... There... There's no evidentiary on it, but that has been the report. Yeah. Okay. So do you think next year some other network will grab Somebody's gonna give him a contract. He will be on TV. Yeah. Honestly, there's a genuine chance that that he and Mike Tomlin swap places. Okay. No real movie headlines to talk about this week. We'll just get into your movie new releases. We've got Street Fighter this week. Lot of positive. Street Fighter. I hate you. I'm reading mixed reviews. I'm gonna go because I want to see this movie. I'm just not in the popcorn bucket. That's Giles head or his hair. Honestly, the only thing I've seen is people calling this a lot of fun, but there's also a level of me going these are influencers who aren't thinking for themselves. Do you have a note about what was possibly broken during a conversation between two characters? No go ahead. It crosses over into the other side of this show while discussing with a talentless hack who's also in the movie Cody Rhodes allegedly said in the response to the question, what do you nerd out about with the words, well, I'm in x men. Oh. And honestly, the role he is rumored for, I am not happy about. Go ahead. Because he has a hard time getting past his lisp sometimes. And allegedly, he is cable. Okay. Physically, absolutely suits. But I feel like Cable needs to be more deep voiced and gruff. So I don't know if I like that one. If you had a blank slate knowing comics better than Don and I combined and then 10 times over, who would you in the X Men universe... Who would you have Kate, Cody playing? I thought you're going the other way with it. I don't know. He might make a decent havoc, but I'd have to think about that for a bit. The outside the box one for me was Sabertooth just because he's a big guy. But, again, gruff voice. Well, if you have saber tooth talk, you know, you could just have him be animalistic. We also have you can't leave this week. This is a horror film. A search for a missing friend turns into a supernatural nightmare. In a dark forest, an abandoned cabin hides an ancient evil. As night falls, friends must survive pursuit, escape the shadows, and uncover the truth before it's too late. Did that just come from chat GPT? Good lord. Sounds like it. Yeah. Also this week That was clogged. Yeah. Another horror film we have called Crawlers. Sean is very excited for this. I'm not talking about, the donut. Tenants at Paradiso Palms apartment fight a deadly spider invasion while the cunning building manager might be their only hope for survival. No. Shaw is beyond excited for this. Oh, wow. Hard pass. Also this week, we have the four hour Elon Musk documentary, and the Angelica said they will have it. And there is a ten minute intermission built into it. Okay. Well, that that you'd have to. You also have a movie that was showing down the hall when we were at a screening a couple of weeks ago called trust me, I'm a doctor. This is a story of doctor Sandeep Kapoor whose life is turned upside down when he is implicated in the death of his former patient and model, Anna Nicole Smith. Linda Hamilton, Abby Cornish is playing Anna Nicole Smith, Cal Penn, Elon Gold. I'm intrigued. It it it does have some almost appeal to me. We also have Tazza, the song of Beelzebub. This is a... The third part of a trilogy. Mhmm. And then this... The the movies that we have covered at Stolen Water Media dot com this week. Don saw the new production of sense and sensibility. They had a thing at the at the movie theater last weekend where it was like a... You could walk up to this screen, and if you get your profile, it would give you one of those old timey silhouette things. Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay. I mean, the book's 150. So Yeah. Jane Austen, it's... It it it follows the core plot. Next, I didn't hate it, but if you want us to read the full review, go to stolenwatermedia.com. Stolen website. Website. Read what I have to say about it. And then there's this. Yeah. The highly anticipated you can see everything co directed by the guy who directed primetime. The the heavily memed you can see everything. This is a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. This is a lady that was embroiled in con... In controversy about a decade ago. Mhmm. This is two hours and fifty seven minutes. Oh, three hours. However, that's close enough, Don. I have to honestly say fully worth it. You have been off air. You have been positive about this. I was sitting next to a friend of the show, Mark Walters at this screening, and we were both like, man, this is gonna be a slog. And the first half of it kind of is because it takes place just over a month before she is scheduled to report to prison in Bryan, Texas, which for those of you that don't know is not too far from College Station or AMNH. It's the federal prison. At the halfway mark, she checks in. I was black. Yeah. At the halfway mark is when she goes to prison. Wow. So I was like, what what what what are we gonna do for the next hour and a half? Because this was supposedly the story of of what's enough to it and the things. And then it cuts to the next scene and takes a turn. Mhmm. That is nothing short of poetic. To the point where this was a press only screening, there were probably, what, would you say, Don? 20 of us in there? Yeah. Somewhere around there. To the point, including myself, multiple people were literally outlawed going, in the name of all things good and holy or something like that. Yeah. And then that took this from lower middle of my list. It shot way up. This film is bat guano crazy in the best possible way. If you can't handle the runtime, wait to watch it at home so you can pause it. I... When I had... When my eyeball started floating, I think I timed it pretty well, but this thing is fantastic. I really am looking forward to seeing this. I have told you before I do not know anything about this. I am wildly uninformed and all I wanna do is avoid spoilers for this. You have to because... And that's why I'm saying, like, none of it's in the trailers. Avoid spoilers on this film at all costs because the directors... You know, sometimes you get when we go to screenings, there's a little video message from the direct one of the director that's actually in it. His name is Nathan Fielder. He's not the guy that did prime prime time. That's the other guy. But he literally says, we know that you're here to watch the film. We know you're probably gonna write about it and talk about it, but do us a favor and don't don't ruin the experience we think you'll have in this film. And we... Was like, okay, whatever. We all know the story. It is what it is. And then I was like, oh, I get it. Mhmm. I mean, this... I almost want... Alex, I almost want you to wait till I can watch it with you. You have said that. And I want to be in the room when this moment happens because it's not telegraphed Mm-mm. On any level. Like, if if I I don't feel like we should talk about it anymore. Just I'm just saying. If I had told you, you'd be like, you're a dirty, filthy liar. Like, that's how out of left field the turn is. But in the... I mean, it... It's brilliant. I I can't say enough good things about this. Movies on DVD and Blu ray this week. If I if Yeah. Don, please. Hold on. If if I can. Go ahead. This will be spoiler free. Is that even him being on the camera in the beginning, which is in the trailers, breaks a lot of rules. Right. Because it's a documentary. This film, put it this way, we do viewer and voting at the end of the year for our... The North Texas Film Critics Association. We do. Unless there's something bomboozled that comes out, this will easily be my best pick for best documentary. Hands down. I could see this winning the Oscar for best documentary after the year. I I can't say that I disagree with you. Yeah. But, yeah, this thing, holy Oh, yeah. Movies on DVD and Blu ray this Tuesday. We have the brink of war thing. Interested in that. Eli Roth's ice cream man. It's a re... That was a quick turnaround. Hadestown, the musical, which I'm kind of interested in because I don't know enough about it. I've heard good things. Yeah. The Olivia Wilde movie that was out of theaters pretty quickly, I want your sex, is available this week. I'm actually interested in legend of the white dragon. Sadly, yes. Yeah. JDF's final film. Mhmm. You're getting a four k steelbook for the new masters of the universe this week. Nice. One night only. Mhmm. And then the the Seth Rogen over your dead body, which I had no desire to watch because, again, it doesn't look like there's anybody in this film that has Seth Rogen did that? I thought he was in it. And and Jason Siegel. Oh, is that Siegel? Okay. Yeah. No. The invite is Seth Rogen. That's right. Four k upgrades this week. You're getting a steelbook for Abigail. Okay. You're getting, a steelbook for the forty fifth anniversary limited edition for American Werewolf at London. Wow. Barbarian gets a four k upgrade. Nice. Blue Beard, old school, kicking it old school Blue Beard. It's a four k upgrade. Thirtieth anniversary of the cable guy with a steelbook. Oh, I feel so cold. A four k upgrade for the pirates of Penzance, which I have actually watched in a theater with Rex Smith and found out about four hours before it, it was the first time he watched it in a theater ever. All I have is mega force playing in my head, but only you get that. That's right. And, the 2,000 scary movie gets a steelbook. Arrow Video is releasing their limited edition for future world, which is the sequel to Westworld. Mhmm. Which I'm... I have Westworld. I might have to get this indicator does Lucky Luciano as a US limited edition. Oh, okay. The sinful nuns of Saint Valentine. That sounds like it's family friendly. Criterion collection this week, four k's for Christian f. The complete Kubrick set drops this week. So... And that's every Stanley Kubrick film ever. Like, 27 discs. That's lot. They're doing the four k of silence of the lands this week. Okay. So get ready for that. And you should also get ready for this. The chief podcast is the other part of this show where we get you into the world of professional wrestling. Gentlemen, let's get involved. Shout out to Baron Von Rashke. Did you see this, Alex? I did not. Baron Von Rashke has now set a record. He worked a match and won for Dreamwave Wrestling this week, and he is the oldest male wrestler to compete at 86. I'm I'm gonna be totally honest. I didn't think he was still alive. I'm not gonna say I didn't agree with that. Yeah. BFG was a thing last Sunday. My first thought when I started watching BFG was That's the shortest anyone's ever had a TNA career? I... Well, no. I was going to... Well, there's that. There's a vault on every side of that. Yep. For those of you that don't know, it's Max Castor. Look it up. I was actually gonna watch this after red zone was done for the day. Mhmm. Because NFL always takes preference. Always. Don't worry. I have TNA plus. I can watch it later. But it goes right. There's no countdown yet. And I was seeing stuff on Facebook from matches at, like, 05:00 eastern or 05:00 central. And I was like, I guess preshow's already underway. I I guess their their hall of fame for thirty minutes was their preshow. That would make sense. Because the first match I watched was at the beginning of the show, and it's one thing I saw a reference on Facebook. So, I don't know how I feel about them calling Eddie Edwards the veteran saint. That was kinda weird for me. I'm kind of at the point where everybody named Edwards in that company can just go away. And I like Eddie Edwards. He's one half of one of my favorite tag team in the last twenty years. Mhmm. And we almost hit the other one with a car. And literally every belt that was on the line changed hands. The only belt that was not on the line was the women's TV title because that's only defend... Defended on impact and and by elegance or whichever one she is. H. H. Yeah. She was in the call your shot gauntlet match. Mhmm. So you have a new x division champion in amazing red who said in his hall of fame speech, you know what? I'm gonna get in on this. Yeah. New knockouts tag champs in Zoe Serrano and her partner, the the debuting Shayna Baszler. Mhmm. So interested in that. Ben Bishop shows up in the call your shot gauntlet match. As expected. Did you see the most wheels off entrance in that match? No. It gets announced. Very, very classical music begins to play. Okay. Ray Holt stands up. Oh, I did. Yes. And immediately gets eliminated by two and Okay. I didn't I didn't see the entrance, but I saw his entire time in the match. Well, he stands up and he's saying, things... Everything changes right now. TNA is going to be overrun. I will be a dominant champion. And then he gets in, gets out, goes back to the desk, and goes, man, this is one heck of a match we're witnessing right now. It was a gorgeous moment. Wins for the third time in a row. Because who else is going? Well, he says he's going to now go after the tag titles with Avery Styles. I think we all know where this is going. Of course. Yeah. I don't like the name of the order four way match. Yeah. It's like... But you get it. Yeah. But I was like, isn't that a spaghetti order at Skyline Chili? No. But we have done, I believe, the meta four way. Yeah. But that doesn't sound like a way you order spaghetti at Skyline Chili. Yeah. You don't order anything at Skyline Chili unless you're a big fan of diarrhea. Jason Hodge wins that match, gets the international title back. Yep. It was actually a decent match. Well, there's talented people involved. Indi Hartwell is your new knockouts champion. Very happy. Very excited for her. Saw that coming. A blind man saw that coming. Yeah. Of course. I really thought if the Max Caster thing lasted longer than an hour and a half. Yeah. My thought was he joins AJ Francis. Right? Like, it's the only logic. Logically, yes. Matter of fact, Matt has broken 2,134 tables during his career. I really hope that that's an accurate number. We now have three of six as Eric Redbeard shows up to help them win the tag titles. Mhmm. And because Nick Nemeth doesn't know how to put on a banger, he and Leon Slater go crazy as Leon Slater wins the world title. I also love that they were so excited to rewrite that bit of TNA history. And I just... I thought BFG was a good show. It's their mania. Yeah. No. No. The BFG usually is good. But I... Did you see the rewriting that Leon Slater's win does do, though? Not for sure. Who he replaces as the youngest champion in company history. Was it AJ? No. We were there. Tessa? Yeah. And on impact, your matter of fact was Matt has won 32 tag team titles during his career. Still somehow that seems low. Money in the bank was a thing. Yep. Tiffany two times. Are we just... Are we copy paste Almost all the worst decisions possible. Is this just gonna be... I I hope it's not copy paste from her first win. Right. But I'm also not delusional in this category. Yeah. That's some great new people at that show. A couple that was sitting next to us. They're following us. Mhmm. But let me let me... Do you... I just don't see Tiffany two time make it. I don't know why they put it on her. I could see penta a 100 a 100 times. Yeah. That's one of the few... That's one of the good decisions. Get there before. But I'm just saying, but you're saying not a great show. The the only way that Tiffany winning is a good place is if we wind up getting your first women's briefcase on the line in a match, and she loses it to a better option. Not because Tiffany is not talented, but this does nothing except for telegraph the crap out of everything. Yeah. I I didn't see. I... There could be some other people besides her. Why her? Anybody else in the match? Yeah. Well, now because they took me two time. It's a great little thing. You know what? This is your fault, Don. This is your fault because you first brought it up with the whole Bailey two belts thing. And and the thing is I I hope that she's the first one moment to cash in and not win. Well, I made an observation Yeah. Mhmm. During this plea that I don't know that anybody else has. I forgot to research this. I apologize. I'm 97% sure I'm right on this. The women's money in the bank match is the first money in the bank match where all six participants are NXT call ups. The one here this year? Yeah. And four of the six were called up this year. Blasked legend. Yeah. JCJ, Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez. Give me the other two. Tiffany. I named Tiffany Stratton. She's the first one I said. Don't I'm sorry. Sorry. I I would... Who... I didn't hear who you listened. Did you say JC Jane and Lola Weiss? Lola Weiss is... It was... Is five. Who was six? Solaruca? Solaruca was six. And if you take both money in the bank matches, 75% of the 12 participants are NXT call ups. Like I said, I am 97% sure I'm right on this. I think your total is probably the highest ever too. Live wins clean, which was unexpected? The women's money in the bank in 2022 was all NXT call... Or all NXT women. Give me the list. Liv Morgan Uh-huh. Alexa Bliss, Oscar. Okay. Becky Lynch. Uh-huh. Lacey Evans, Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi. Oh, yeah. There you go. So it's never been done with the men's, I guess, which would make sense because you've always gotta have... I mean, Kofi did what, like, seven in a row? Well, the... No. The... I think the record is Kane who did seven, so there's that. Obafemi continues his dominance. That was actually a decent match. That was exactly how a Haws fight should be booked because Bronson Reed does not look weaker coming out of it. He looks just a step below Obafemi, which does wonders for him as well. Penta wins the men's in a great match. Mhmm. With the dumbest spot of the year in my opinion. I think the women's match had the better spots overall. We're glad Tiffany Stratton's okay. We're glad multiple people are Yeah. Surviving. So, I love Penta's briefcase. If you're a Club WWE member, you get $50 off. Did you see core... Baron Corbin's response to it? Uh-uh. So they posted on social. Baron Corbin just replies with, good luck getting that through TSA. Well, here's the other thing. What? It's just because it's pyro, Don. Settle down. I know. Club Club WWE. I was gonna go look and see how much the briefcase was, you know, for science. Yeah. Have to have a fanatics account and then link that to Club WWE. Ugh. This thing is a debacle. On multiple levels. The only thing this thing has felt like was cool was the win. That's it. That's the list. Yeah. Every other piece is... Actually, I'll show you right now. Hold on. I showed it on air when I showed the the piece of the Yeah. Thing. But I I... With the men's money in the bank match, the leading up to your big Jevon Evans spot, was anybody else wildly disappointed by that? I'm gonna get to that here in a second because I had a realization x night. Okay. Go for it. Alex and I were joking that after Punk and Owens went through the wall that they just decided to just hang out under that chair and just like, hey. Where are we going for dinner? Yeah. They were like, just go go finish the match, boys. We'll be over here. New women's tag champs on SmackDown? Yeah. Let's go on that. Here's my... Here was my revelation on Monday night. The the medical vehicle spot that Jevon Evans had at money in the bank, they went to commercial and I went, wait a minute. Was that just an ad for the slambulance? Because it looks exactly the same. But the other problem you have is they had the high angle as it's being driven in. And Rob and I at the... Almost the exact same time just look at it and go, that roof is gimmicked. And then you have the absolute most stupid situation of the tallest ladder we've ever seen used in a match arguably. And it's like, yes. Let's climb it at the edge of the ring well away from the briefcase. There's only one way you make that work, and that's if he realizes it's too far away and tries to rock it over while grabbing the briefcase and then swinging back because he's pushed. Just climbing up and going to the ambulance just makes Javon look like the dumbest creature on the rock. And and jumps with all of his might. Because he realized he was coming up short. And it... And there's so much padding in it that when he lands, his feet are still sticking out. Well, that stupid on top of stupid. It was the worst gimmicking since we saw the first blood and deaths. And Yeah. The... This... Well, there literally should have been Looney Tunes sound effects over that. It was so dumb. And at the end of Raw, enter Carmelo Hayes as part of nine four six after he blacks out his social media. People were wondering why he was off television. I thought this was good booking, and it looks like war games just got done. Yeah. And I absolutely agree. But did you see the real world story regarding this? Go ahead. Allegedly, Royce Keyes specifically asked to add Carmelo Hayes. Yep. Called h himself. I hope this is real and not just something set up for unreal because that's really intelligent. And let's also be honest. Royce Keys is one of Cody's closest friends, and so is Carmelo. And I still stand by. I think you're gonna have your first intergender war games this year. You think so? I really hope not, but I see where you're going with it. Do you think with, The Misses? With Naomi? Yeah. Mhmm. I believe this. Wrestle dream is this weekend. So you're gonna have both Usos having a counterpart. Yeah. I'm still fuzzy on this whole clockwork carnage thing. You know what? I'm... I I do it too much. But here's the other part about it. Think about it from this aspect. Rob, no offense, Don. I know you're not gonna know this. Do you remember the Port St. Lucie fan man? Vega. So for years, mister fan man in Port St. Lucie, Florida got so much foot traffic because he installed the sign to his store upside down. So people would come in and be like, hey. You know your sign got installed upside down? And he'd be like, oh, thanks for pointing that out. Let me show you some stuff on a discount. And he did it for the rest of his life. The fact that Clockwork Cartage is this crazy with this level of talent almost feels like a mister fan man booking because you have to watch wrestle drink to try and understand it. Winter is coming is set for December 9 in Monterrey, Mexico. Oh, that's a good book. At Arena Monterrey. Couple of injuries. Anna Jay is having shoulder surgery. Unfortunate. Ouch. Rumor is currently that Jamie Hayter is injured, but they're not saying what it is. Although they're now part of, United Empire. Mhmm. The birds. And the only other thing really that I took away from AEW this week is that Cope said last night he's retiring next year. That this is his last year. Okay. No. No. This is not his last year. 2020 Oh, he said 2027 will be his last year. Yes. Said retiring next year. But there was nothing really on In my defense, work is making me do a lot of 2027 things. I am losing track of time. Remember, luggage. There was nothing really of note on any AEW programming for me this week. There just was there was one thing of note. Okay. A vignette. I think we all know who that is. Yeah. But I'm also super excited about that. It was a cool vignette. I thought they did it well. And I'm excited because you know how much I I love that individual that we will stay spoiler free about. But I like the way they did it. I thought it was cool. I do too. That... That's why it was big. See what you did there. Uh-huh. Mhmm. Anything else, boys? Just... It... Wrestle Dream feels like it's too soon after a previous pay per view for me. I wanna watch it, but, man, I I like that they're fleshing out the card well. WWE feels like it just hit its holding pattern because... Well, are we going to mention the location change that is rumored? Not until we know more. Okay. Situation is so strange right now. Well, I I I kind of wanted to just so I could put something into the Okay. Go ahead. Put Crown Jewel in Mexico City. Fair. Also wanna remind you to go check out 3 Wide at Scout every Tuesday night and then beer thirty sports o'clock. By the way, if you're one of the first five people and you get there and you use the password, football, you can get a free drink, or you can get free valet. And if you don't get the free valet, you get half off valet. It's pretty awesome. And there's always great football talk during three wide at Scout, and it does go out live. Scout is an amazing place. Nice. They have a they have a breakfast place there called Overeasy that's open all day. Oh, wow. I didn't realize because I I was on the show this past week. There's, like, the little counter that you've got, like, get in a hotel. Like a breakfast bar. But but but but kind of like that whole... It's just there's a cooler there, and they reach in Ah, yeah. Behind it, because I guess it was curtained off last time I was there, behind it's like a full blown diner style restaurant where they have, like, the counter where you order and the kitchen's behind it and all the things. That's cool. There's a window. There's not a kitchen back there, but it's just cool. But next Tuesday and every Tuesday until the the Tuesday after the superb owl, also wanna remind you, if you want somebody else to do the work, that's America. Go to Dudley's on... For football. You cannot beat the food. You cannot beat the atmosphere, and you never know who might show up there. Not saying. Just saying maybe maybe there will be games of war. You know? We don't know. We kinda know, but we don't know. And one thing you know, deviled eggs, good to survive on, especially a series of eggs. Yep. So make sure you check it out. We got some more stuff coming very, very soon, and I'm I'm working on our next series. Can you hear me? Tap it on the desk. Maybe it's a cinematic series. You don't know. Maybe, maybe it's a street of people named Brad that I may be working on something. You don't know. There's a QR code over here. Nope. There's that. Oh, no. I got it back to the other brand. Hold on.
