Alright and welcome to
00:27-00:32
Saturday Shit Show. I’m your host. You know we gotta do something about that name.
00:32-00:37
It’s not really the Saturday Shit Show anymore if I’m doing it on Sundays now.
00:37-00:44
We’ll have to re… we gotta work on the rebranding with that. Hey, I mean, you know for the longest time I did a show
00:44-00:47
that was called the
00:47-00:51
Late Night Hour and I wasn’t doing it late at night anymore.
00:51-00:55
Yeah, so there’s I’ve had issues like this before in the past with the naming.
00:55-00:58
So it happens in this business. What are you gonna do?
00:58-01:05
I like I said I am Brandon. I’ll be hanging out with you for the next couple of hours. We have tons of
01:05-01:09
new music to get to and we have just
01:09-01:14
tons of things to talk about. It’s gonna be a packed show here ladies and gentlemen.
01:14-01:22
But first taking us off with a new one by Ulterbridge. What lies within here on Helix Rock Radio?
01:23-01:26
Alright, we are kicking it off heavy tonight today.
01:26-01:33
People want to say tonight. I keep thinking about it last night. Of course Crown Jewel yesterday was of course
01:33-01:42
WWE moving that it’s been in Saudi Arabia for the last couple of years and now of course moving it to Australia.
01:42-01:49
Overall, I think it was much better than a Wrestle… was it Wrestlepalooza that they had I really enjoyed
01:49-01:54
Surprisingly if the match has surprised me that I enjoyed the most was actually Ripley and Eosky.
01:54-02:01
I don’t know particularly why I just I guess it surprised me. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was.
02:01-02:03
So I thought that was really good.
02:03-02:08
The women’s match I kind of thought Stratton was gonna go over
02:08-02:13
But they decided to go a different way with it. So that was a happy surprise there for me. Anyway
02:14-02:20
Obviously Rollins I didn’t think they were gonna let Cody win a second year in a row especially I’ve titled the only you know
02:20-02:23
Wrestle for once a year. So
02:23-02:26
Him going over Rollins on a big deal
02:26-02:31
And I’ll just another thing in his eventually will be Hall of Fame career
02:31-02:34
The tag team match. Oh
02:34-02:38
Was it really a tag team match? Well felt like a tag team match, but
02:38-02:42
Kicking off the night of course with the Street Fight. I thought that was pretty good
02:42-02:44
Like it was cool to see
02:44-02:50
Seth Rollins, I’m not sorry. Excuse me Roman Reigns with the cricket paddle. I thought that was pretty interesting to watch
02:50-02:58
Like I said overall I thought it was a pretty decent night John Cena and AJ Styles didn’t disappoint
02:58-03:05
I really think crown jewel. I know WWE says they have their big four WrestleMania Survivor Series
03:06-03:12
Royal Rumble and SummerSlam, but but I think if they I think if I was if I honestly
03:12-03:17
I think they should call it the big five because I think crown jewel is definitely on par
03:17-03:20
with some of their bigger
03:20-03:22
Big the bigger shows I really do
03:22-03:25
especially since they go
03:25-03:30
Pretty above and beyond. I mean they have special titles for that event and everything like that
03:30-03:36
I did like the opening scene where they were like, hey, we’re gonna get a home party
03:36-03:38
Bring the title
03:38-03:43
From you know showing them going to get the titles in Saudi Arabia and then bringing them to Austria
03:43-03:48
I said like that. I thought it was overall. I thought it was a pretty good event. I really enjoyed it
03:48-03:49
I really believe
03:49-03:53
It really is on par with some of WWE’s bigger shows
03:53-03:59
I really could see crown jewel in the next couple of years going two nights. I really could I hate to say that
03:59-04:04
But I could see it being a two-night event. It’s definitely on par
04:05-04:09
Especially well survivor series isn’t two nights yet, but eventually I think that will be too well
04:09-04:12
That’s coming up in November. Of course, we’re gonna have
04:12-04:16
My favorite match of the year any of you that have been listening to this to the show for a while
04:16-04:23
No, one of my favorite events of the year is the war games. I was a huge fan of WCW war games
04:23-04:30
TNA’s lockdown. It’s one of my favorite events of the year. I loved it when they brought it back on NXT
04:30-04:33
I was hoping they were gonna bring it to the main show and eventually they did
04:33-04:39
With survivor series. So like I said overall really great pay-per-view
04:39-04:43
Had a fun time with it. Buttymine came over watch it together
04:43-04:46
And then of course tonight
04:46-04:50
Sunday night here. We have of course TNA bound for glory
04:50-04:55
This morning we had Ring of Honor had an event on
04:55-04:58
YouTube which was online for everybody
04:58-05:02
You know, it’s really a great time to be a wrestling fan
05:03-05:08
The only thing that concerns me is there’s a lot of it right now
05:08-05:14
So it’s good for the athletes, but I hope it doesn’t hurt the smaller company since there is so much of it to watch
05:14-05:16
but I think
05:16-05:19
Everybody, you know has their own kind. It’s just like any of those late-night shows
05:19-05:26
Everybody has their own flavor who they like who they don’t like and I think that’s the same thing with wrestling now a lot of people say
05:26-05:30
Oh, okay, I either like, you know, WWE or like TNA or like a
05:30-05:35
WWE or like, you know, there’s there’s pockets of fans that you know, they like what they like with the
05:35-05:39
WWE obviously the biggest out of all of them and probably will always be but
05:39-05:46
You know TNA and and AW and Ring of Honor will ring of honors on by you
05:46-05:49
But you know, I guess there’s a lot of little promotion
05:49-05:52
You know a lot of companies now a lot of flavor a lot of places for people to work
05:52-05:58
Those of us that grew up in the in the 90s and early 2000s remember when WCW wanted a business
05:59-06:02
There was not a lot of places for wrestlers to go to work
06:02-06:05
It was a pretty tough time for wrestlers
06:05-06:11
I’ve talked to get people on this show and some of that who were wrestlers and they said once the WCW wanted a business
06:11-06:14
You know, there was really only one place to work
06:14-06:20
and that’s kind of why TNA was able to kind of really get a start and strive because
06:20-06:25
There’s a lot of talent and there really wasn’t any a lot of places in the work
06:25-06:28
And the indies weren’t a big thing back then either because obviously
06:28-06:35
You know not many people stayed on the Indies because there was you know some big companies to work for so
06:35-06:40
Like I said, it’s a great time like I always say it’s a great time to be a wrestling fan
06:40-06:44
Kick it off now with a dark remedy
06:44-06:49
Followed by machine six here on Helix Iraq radio
06:49-06:52
Alright new one by Chevelle
06:52-06:54
most of these songs have been playing
06:55-07:01
Are mega death and altar bridge and all that are all brand new this week a lot of a lot of new music
07:01-07:05
Really this week was released, which is good. It’s always you know, it’s always good
07:05-07:08
See it’s always in the summer that the six months of summer
07:08-07:15
Especially with a tour season and stuff of that are going on you always get bands that release, you know a lot more music
07:15-07:22
So so I also want to bring up the fact that I got the new switch to on Friday
07:22-07:24
My order finally came in for my switch to
07:25-07:28
Really digging it. I had I went from the switch light
07:28-07:32
To the switch to so I went I had a huge upgrade
07:32-07:36
Currently I am playing
07:36-07:41
Tony Hawk pro skater. I have downloaded Mario Galaxy
07:41-07:44
However, I have not played that yet and I’m looking forward to the new Pokemon game
07:44-07:48
This week coming up. So I yeah, I have finally
07:48-07:53
You know folks with my very busy schedule between the radio station work
07:53-07:56
And my other things I have going on my kids and stuff of that
07:56-07:59
I was going to get an Xbox or a PlayStation
07:59-08:03
But I decided a portable system was better for me
08:03-08:06
At least now I can plug it into the TV and play it with my kids
08:06-08:10
Or I could take it on the road with me if it were going somewhere or traveling
08:10-08:16
Which I I’m on the road quite a bit lately. So it just was a better fit for me for a new system
08:16-08:21
I can really honestly see the appeal of the new switch
08:22-08:24
especially from the screen standpoint and stuff of that but
08:24-08:29
Really, I am I really enjoy it and I like the fact that like I said, it’s very portable
08:29-08:35
Or if I want to plug it into the TV in the living room and play something with my kids I can so
08:35-08:39
It’s we’re really enjoying it right now wife and I have already
08:39-08:44
Got into a little friendly comp test of the Mario Kart and stuff like that
08:44-08:49
So you like I said, I’m happy to have it. I really strongly recommend it
08:49-08:54
But if you need something in the price point to switch light will get it done as well
08:54-08:59
So what you know, they have budget, you know, they have a budget system for people that you know
08:59-09:03
Sometimes can’t can’t spend that kind of money at least you have something to play on right
09:03-09:08
And switch light isn’t bad if I’m being honest with you if I mean I used it for a lot of years
09:08-09:11
And it definitely served its purpose. I played a lot of Tetris on that thing
09:11-09:14
I played a ton of Pokemon on that
09:14-09:19
So like I said, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the switch light. It will get the job done
09:19-09:25
But the only thing I will say I didn’t like about the switch light was I couldn’t plug it into the TV because my kids are always like
09:25-09:29
Plug it into the TV. Let’s play. I can’t on the switch light. So I will say
09:29-09:35
If you are looking for a system that’s just gonna be in your bag and you’re gonna pull it out to play the switch light
09:35-09:38
We’ll get it done if you are however looking
09:38-09:41
For something you could hook up to the television
09:41-09:47
I really would recommend then the regular switch or the switch to because you just cannot do that on the light
09:47-09:52
So but like I said, I got it having a good time with it. I forgot I haven’t played
09:52-09:53
Oh, I mean I’ve been playing in the light
09:53-09:58
But I have I really getting back into the Mario stuff and the Pokemon stuff especially now
09:58-10:05
That I’ve got the new one because those are the exclusives. So I’m really enjoying it glad I got this great piece of tech
10:05-10:09
To have a good time with so I know it’s a little pricey
10:09-10:16
But if you can know like I said if you do want something and you can’t spend all the money the light will get it done
10:16-10:22
New one now by aftershock my own invention new Rob zombie. That’s a
10:22-10:26
Freakin awesome song. I anything by him is always good, but I do
10:26-10:33
Particularly like just rob zombie himself. He’s just so freakin awesome and creative and stuff like that and
10:33-10:39
To go to see him still putting out new music. He’s had a very long career and a lot of different stuff
10:39-10:41
So good for him
10:41-10:44
So I do want to talk about we’re just talking about the Game Boy
10:45-10:47
The new switch, excuse me, but um
10:47-10:49
So this is just shocked me
10:49-10:56
There is an actual eSports contest that was sold online this this past week
10:56-11:05
It actually is in the Excel World Cup now. You’re knitting here that way. Yes Microsoft Excel actually has a World Cup
11:05-11:08
It’s actually sponsored by
11:08-11:11
Yahoo Finance and
11:11-11:14
Wall Street Journal
11:14-11:16
The winner gets like a hundred grand
11:16-11:20
second place gets 50 and third gets 25,000 but still
11:20-11:26
Those of you that think there’s no eSports you’re good at there’s even an eSport for Excel
11:26-11:29
There’s an export forever. This is a sport for everything
11:29-11:34
So if you think you’re good at Excel, this might be the place for you to go
11:34-11:40
So it’s pretty cool about this too is they had qualifying and then this past week
11:40-11:47
They had I guess the the winning round I guess people that lose going to the other round and then there’s three days in December
11:47-11:54
Where the world we actually be the finals and it’s gonna be held in Vegas and all that at the eSports arena
11:54-12:00
So yeah, those of you that think there are nothing, you know, if you’re good at Excel man
12:00-12:05
You never know you might want to get to excel eSports. I could not believe how big this thing was
12:05-12:09
It was shocking to me. I just wanted to share that because I was like, oh
12:09-12:14
My goodness people are never gonna believe this. There’s actually an excel eSports news to me
12:14-12:17
Kick it off on the new one now by
12:17-12:19

13:33-13:36
That was a new one by as I lay dying
13:36-13:43
So one couple things some of the things I want to talk about so the I think you ever use the
13:43-13:49
Framework laptops are pretty neat. They’re module laptops that you can take things in and out of
13:49-13:54
Apparently framework now has desktops and they’re all modular
13:54-13:58
I don’t know. I mean I understand the point of it
13:58-14:05
I don’t know. I think that if you can I mean, I don’t see the laptop I get because you can swap out parts of that
14:05-14:07
I think it’s a really cool idea
14:07-14:12
The the desktop I think it’s kind of silly only because I mean if you can swap parts like this
14:12-14:16
The module parts like this. I mean you probably could build your own computer
14:16-14:21
So I don’t know. I’m not a big fan of the framework towers because I think you can just build your own
14:21-14:26
but I mean, they’re not especially at the cost there they’re a little pricey but I
14:27-14:31
Do get the framework laptops because if you want say an extra ethernet port or something
14:31-14:37
You can swap it out with a module and you can have an ethernet port or if you want to swap it out for more USB ports or whatever
14:37-14:41
I mean, I do get the the framework portion of the laptop stuff
14:41-14:44
I do get that. I think that’s a great feature
14:44-14:47
But I’m the desktop I kind of I mean, I know they have module parts
14:47-14:50
You can just buy the modules and swap it out for other stuff
14:50-14:54
But I mean you can probably just build a PC rather than doing that
14:54-14:57
I mean, I think maybe some people like it. That’s fine if they have a market for it
14:57-15:03
I just think if you’re able to do that you might probably just build your own computer be easier
15:03-15:11
Instead of using proprietary module parts, but that’s just me so also – nothing. I wanted to point out talk about hardware
15:11-15:15
The rasp the new raspberry pi came out the other day and
15:15-15:20
Those of you that that aren’t familiar with those. They’re like little mini computers
15:21-15:24
They used to be like 35 40 bucks the new one the raspberry pi 2
15:24-15:27
Or say raspberry 5 raspberry 5
15:27-15:31
Plus it’s actually a keyboard now. So you can it’s actually a keyboard
15:31-15:36
And everything’s built into the raspberry pi into the keyboard. It’s kind of interesting
15:36-15:41
I will say 200 all the price points a little expensive. I think
15:41-15:44
for what you get
15:44-15:46
for I mean a little
15:46-15:51
Computer that’s I mean, I mean 200 is a base price
15:51-15:55
I mean you still got to get you know a hard drive and all that kind of stuff
15:55-16:01
I think 200 a little steep. I mean the 35 40 bucks 50 bucks even a hundred bucks wasn’t terrible
16:01-16:06
But now the new raspberry pi pushing over 200. I don’t know. I think that’s a little pricey
16:06-16:11
I understand they built it into the keyboard now so people can you know, so it’s a little bit easier for people
16:11-16:15
You just need a monitor, but I don’t know
16:15-16:20
I think that’s a little pricey for a little itty-bitty piece of hardware. That’s just
16:20-16:24
Me anyway, I guess if I’m gonna spend 200 dollars, I can get an actual decent
16:24-16:28
Piece of hardware the whole point of them is that they were cheap and they could fit wherever
16:28-16:30
200 dollars is not cheap
16:30-16:33
Especially not when it’s something that you’re supposed to be able to put anywhere you want
16:33-16:38
It’s like a little I mean this thing is is tiny. I mean it’s smaller than a steam deck. So
16:38-16:44
Let’s see. Well, I’m reading my email now from you guys if you ever want to send me an email
16:44-16:47
Again Brandon at rock radio dot live
16:47-16:50
Caitlin wants to know if we can play
16:50-16:53
the tribute to
16:53-16:57
Fawzi from Fawzi so she’s talking about crazy train
16:57-17:00
Yeah, I can put that up right after
17:00-17:06
My dying bride for you new one another one by Fawzi
17:06-17:11
Chris Jericho, I know like I said, he’s a wrestler, but if what Fawzi is is still a great band
17:11-17:16
I mean, I you can’t take anything away from him as far as that like people say oh, it’s because he’s a wrestler
17:16-17:18
It’s not because he’s a wrestler because he’s it’s a great band
17:18-17:23
So but so something else I got an email
17:23-17:28
That I wanted to talk about I love all the fan feedback again. I mentioned it last
17:28-17:32
Section but of course Brandon at rock radio dot live
17:32-17:39
Somebody’s said don’t forget to remind everybody this that this coming week is the end of life for Windows 10
17:40-17:42
It is as well as office 2019
17:42-17:47
So if you’re on Windows 10, it is time to upgrade to 11
17:47-17:50
You can buy the extension on your Windows updates
17:50-17:52
But I don’t know how many people are actually gonna do that
17:52-17:57
But like I said go ahead and do that a lot of feedback from last week’s show as well
17:57-18:00
Somebody asked me if I went down if I actually did
18:00-18:05
Go down on my game pass subscription. I did I went down to the to the not the minimum plan
18:05-18:07
But the the one above it
18:07-18:14
So it’s like 15 bucks a month now. I did that so much because my kids still use the they still need the
18:14-18:16
essentials for the
18:16-18:23
Play online on the Xbox and then plus two as well. I do use some of the Blizzard games on my PC
18:23-18:27
So yeah, I did actually go down. I was serious about that when I said
18:27-18:31
I’m going down to the lower version to cut my costs in half and I actually did that right before the
18:31-18:36
Right after the show. So I did do that. I didn’t just say it and not do it
18:36-18:38
I actually did change it
18:38-18:40
So I thought that was
18:40-18:45
You know somebody asking for the sound of silence. I can play that one next
18:45-18:54
Interesting thing I actually watched a new view with David dream and talking about how his regimen for when they were on the road actually having to
18:54-19:00
He doesn’t he has a really bad ass a reflux problem. So he can’t he can’t eat like four hours before a set
19:01-19:07
I can’t eat two hours for bed. He can’t have any spicy food fatty food fried food. Excuse me
19:07-19:13
You know, he has to use an acid. He has a quite a ridiculous an acid schedule and
19:13-19:21
Hydration schedule to all that to keep his to keep his voice going, you know, everything is I really give him credit
19:21-19:26
man, he’s amazing one of the best frontman I talked about his vocal coach the
19:26-19:34
And the his exercise regimen all that kind of stuff definitely truly dedicated to the
19:34-19:38
to the art of and to disturb so
19:38-19:45
Like I said, he doesn’t drink alcohol on the road. He you know, he’s very cautious about being around people who are sick
19:45-19:47
So he doesn’t get a cold
19:47-19:54
You know really just a great interview you find over on rock. I think it’s rock feed had it to really great any of you talking about them
19:54-19:58
Disturbed there’s like I said, they do everything live still
19:58-20:03
He said there’s a lot of bands that aren’t anymore or or or in touring anymore because they don’t
20:03-20:13
They’ve kind of just a lot of wear and tear so but they’re still going still making great music and have such a huge loyal fan base
20:13-20:16
Disturbed sound of silence. All right slipknot
20:16-20:22
One of my favorite bands and followed by God smack which was a request by somebody who emailed me
20:22-20:28
So I want to talk about a couple things quickly here because we’re getting towards the end of the show
20:28-20:33
But it’s very important to me to you know that pretty reckless
20:33-20:39
Taylor most and said that it’s going to have a pretty reckless Christmas
20:39-20:42
Pre-orders are opened or will open
20:42-20:46
Within the next couple days here and it will ship. There’s a limited quality of them
20:46-20:50
But pretty reckless is going to be putting out a Christmas album
20:50-20:55
Everybody else of course Mark Tramani from Creed put out a Frank Sinatra and a Christmas album
20:55-20:58
So all that is yeah important to me
20:58-21:01
And that’s not a forget of course
21:01-21:06
news that just came out recently is that we will be having
21:06-21:11
the no doubt will be taking residency over in
21:11-21:14
Vegas for a little bit
21:14-21:18
I’m not sure the dates on that just yet, but I check out their website
21:18-21:23
It’s kind of interesting to see no doubt actually doing a residency
21:23-21:27
There was questions if they were even going that you ever get back together
21:27-21:30
But apparently they are going to be at the spear
21:30-21:35
Doing a residency. I just got the so tickets go on sale on the 17th
21:35-21:39
And the residency will be from this May 6 to the 16th. So
21:39-21:42
10 days or so so there that’s going on as well
21:42-21:46
So I wanted to bring that up a slash of course saying this week
21:47-21:52
That guns and roses has a new album coming out. So we’ll keep an eye out for that
21:52-22:01
So a lot of just just in general rock news. It’s great to see, you know, some of these, you know, some new stuff coming out from these bands
22:01-22:05
Especially when you look at
22:05-22:08
You know, Aerosmith releasing a new you know coming out that new song
22:08-22:12
They’ve said many times that they’re they know they’re at the end of their careers and stuff
22:13-22:18
You know, but it’s great to see like I said guns and roses back together. They’re gonna do another album
22:18-22:23
It’s great to see no doubt getting back together. We’re it’s a very interesting time
22:23-22:31
Where you know bands and stuff get together. So or people can put differences aside people forget for years
22:31-22:39
You know that that guns and roses would never get together and finally Aerosmith kind of got involved Steven Tyler and said hey listen
22:39-22:43
Come on guys like you’re you’re just put it behind you
22:43-22:47
You know people want to hear a new album just just get back together and do it so
22:47-22:52
It’s great to see some of these people that people could finally put stuff aside and get out there
22:52-22:56
I mean look at Creed. I mean nobody ever thought they would ever see that again
22:56-23:01
It’s been it was over 15 years since they’re since they played live 18 years since their last album
23:01-23:08
But they got back together. So it can happen. You just you know, you do it just sometimes it just you know
23:08-23:11
If people want to see it sometimes you just got to do it, you know
23:11-23:18
Alright guys, thank you very much for hanging out with me here on the shit show
