At My Mom's Basement, I said, why don't we check in? Why don't we do a little mini
Mando Award season episode, check in with the listeners. If they want to spend some time with
us over holiday break, we want to spend some time with them. I feel like we have, we've been
teasing these awards all goddamn season. We might as well, you know, come out with them.
And we haven't been in the basement since the announcement with the,
how they're breaking down the whole book of Boba Fett and all that kind of
stuff. So it's kind of,
No, we haven't yet. So for people that don't know,
the book of Boba Fett is a separate show.
It's not going to be the Mandalorian season three.
We're going to get the book of Boba Fett in December of next year.
And then in 2022, we're going to get the Mandalorian season three. We're going to get the book of Boba Fett in December of next year. And then in 2022, we're going to get the Mandalorian season three.
It's going to be a while until we get the return of Din Djarin and who knows
where baby grow is. Check this out, Clem.
I actually from mama Fox got my first baby grow Funko pop.
He's got the little frog in his mouth. I love it.
Well, the unofficial, or I guess the, the first award we'll do,
this isn't even the award. So this is the one that they you just see tweeted out which i feel like they do oh yeah
carpet yeah the red carpet yeah the good awards are getting tweeted out i feel like they they
only do like five awards on award shows i sound like an old man saying this but uh the winner of
christmas 2020 was clearly baby yoda he was under countless christmas trees i think uh someone asked sienna
what your her favorite gift was which included a bike mario kart circuit which is you could do
like real life mario kart around the house and it plays on your switch i was gonna ask what the big
like gift for them was that was so they each got a bike so that was kind of the big gift and then
aj got like a little ipad that he can use it's like a kid's ipad it's not a real ipad but she
said baby yoda and it was just a little you know the 20 use. It's like a kid's iPad. It's not a real iPad, but she said baby Yoda.
And it was just a little, you know, the $20 doll I got from Costco that I could have bought
a thousand of to, you know, try to mark up on eBay.
Exactly.
And AJ calls her baby Oda.
So it's ODA, baby Oda, baby Oda.
Doesn't even know who old Yoda is.
And just an absolute, I imagine a lot of people listening probably got it like I
did. I got it for my kids. It was really for myself. I even got myself a big baby Yoda,
like supersized pillow from Costco. It's one of those marshmallow pillows and he has the big old
black eyes. So easily the Christmas present of the year, I'd say is baby Yoda. Totally. I got
baby Yoda for not only my youngest niece, who is not even one yet. She was born in March,
the end of March. So it's like, she don't know what's going on with baby Yoda. But I was like, listen, her
first baby Yoda has to be from uncle Rob. How could it not be? And then I got it for Luke and
my niece, Harley, and they were going crazy over it. My brother said that it was one of their
favorite gifts and that they were going to learn the value of sharing this weekend because there's
only one baby Yoda. So they were like tucking it in before bed they put a towel over it like it was a blanket i saw videos of them unwrapping presents
the next day christmas morning and they were like come on baby yoda you help us unwrap this one and
they were playing with them like that oh it warmed my heart christmas was actually pretty friggin
awesome this year would have been nice to be with family and like be with everybody we saw them
through a glass door like
we stood on the front steps we watched them open their gifts i chilled with my mom i didn't get out
on my pajamas all friggin week club it was pretty good week for me that's all the weekend they're
basically like the little kids on that little forest planet and they're all playing with baby
yoda just in the same kind of way i love that and that is something they will learn parents out
there parents to be future parents whatever you give your kids like the family gift i remember
we got mario kart was a family gift once when my brother and my sister were young with me
and like you have to share and the parents will just take that shit away for you that is the best
way to share and another great thing christmas oh seeing the joy in a child's eyes when they
get to get their presents you get to weaponize santa that's the real reason christmas is awesome go to your room go to bed or else no santa's santa's not
coming and the other thing about it is you really get to like trick them into loving stuff like
you know oh yeah they'll love yoda baby yoda because he's so cute then they like star wars
you get them giant stuff they become giants fans yeah you eat some aj today was eating pretzels
about a thousand pretzels and watching the giants i'm like he's gonna associate the giants with junk food junk
food tastes good the giants taste good and it's just all that you know kind of stuff so do whatever
you got to do to make your kids love your stuff like the stuff in the basement good good all right
so we are gonna do some awards i know we teased that we would have some special guests on this one
i reached out to a few people we We should have planned it better. Holiday season, people are spending time
with their families. Listen, no fault to them. Before we get into it, I have a special ad read

They're updating on us.
Stay updated.
MMB this week.
My mom was nervous about that.
I think she fucking crushed it.
I think she's a natural.
I think you just got Wally pipped by your own damn mother i don't know if that's possible i
think she's gonna have to read every the three cheap people are gonna see that spike it's stonks
it's the stonks meme right there and go use the mmv code so everyone knows like mama fox is the
draw here i mean if she's available for pod fathers we got a few ad reads coming next week
so we could definitely use her help i said said, listen, it's the holiday show.
We're doing like a holiday break Christmas thing.
Why not?
I just spent the week with my mom.
It was a fantastic week in Jersey.
Why not incorporate her?
Why not invite her down to the basement the first time ever that she's been in the basement right there?
We had to hide the stuff.
We had to hide the good stuff from Mama Fox.
Even though she knows about the 3G and stuff, it's like we can't have everything out there.
It's still our nerdy stuff. i'll shout out mama fox uh that's
beautiful man i love it she crushed that all right let's get into the awards clem so the way this is
gonna work it's not uh you know like the oscars where we have accountants counting votes we didn't
put it out to the nominations and we don't have the academy voting on it basically we wrote down
a bunch of categories i'm gonna say them and we're gonna talk the Academy voting on it. Basically, we wrote down a bunch of categories. I'm going to say them, and we're going to talk about them.
We're going to decide the winners off the cuff, kind of loosey-goosey.
Have fun with it.
First up, this is a big one, Rookie of the Year.
Wow.
I'm going to add in a little music after every one to make it dramatic.
You know what I mean? Make it sound like the Oscars.
Who do we think? I mean, there's a lot of options.
I think Boba Fett's disqualified, right? We can't call him a rookie.
He's a rookie to Mandalorian, but not to Star Wars.
I was thinking the same thing. Like Boba Fett, Ahsoka, I think.
So this is tricky, though, because there are a lot of people.
Like Ahsoka could be a rookie to me. She's not a rookie to you.
True. Because I was kind of thinking she was a rookie.'s kind of thing of bo katan's kind of a rookie but
are they are they i i think they are a rookie because i do think um the like for the for the
for mando's sake it's technically it's rookie style boba live action too that's different boba
we've seen live action before those other two characters we haven. And we heard the Spurs technically in season one.
It's like when you get the cup of coffee at the end of September,
usually you're still eligible for rookie of the year the next year.
Like I think Mike Trout, he batted like 28 at-bats the year before his rookie year.
Then he comes up, he crushes it.
We're going to disqualify Boba from that just because it's, I mean,
we're going to fucking get Boba.
So I'm down with that everyone but basically boba and then anyone who was in season one because we
got some you know the some cast reappear uh do you have a nominee let me lay out some options here
okay okay cob vanth yes the frog lady yep bo katansoka, those are obvious ones. Is that it? Who else can we name?
Let's see.
Or as Rookie of the Year.
Dark Troopers, just throw them in as a big group.
They're definitely on the list.
I'd say they're all there.
The first thing that comes to mind for me is that Ahsoka showed Mando the way
to get Grogu onto the seeing stone,
which later got him to Luke, which saved the day with them.
I think it might have to be Ahsoka for that reason.
You've mentioned the butterfly effect before.
Every little thing has to affect it.
I feel like because of that, it might be Ahsoka this season.
Okay, so my first thought was Bo-Katan,
because she comes in, she wrecks shit when she's on scene.
We've seen her do it, you know, a couple of times.
However, I will say this.
Mando kind of just fucking steals the show in the finale, right?
He gets the goddamn dark saber.
He saves the child by himself, all that kind of stuff.
The way she like looked at him, she's like,
you just took my fucking sword, dude.
So that kind of like hurts you.
She got more screen time too.
I will say that. She got more screen time than Ahsoka. She got two episodes. Yeah took my fucking sword, dude. So that kind of like hurts you. She got more screen time too. I will say that.
She got more screen time than Ahsoka.
She got two episodes.
Yeah.
I'm almost skewed.
She has such a cool name.
Like Bo-Katan.
Like I just want to give her every award.
It's like Bo-Katan wins, you know, all these awards.
I'm going to say, you know what?
I think Ahsoka just because I feel like Ahsoka, it's like, she's also just flashy.
She has the two lightsabers.
That final battle scene was very cool.
It was in the – what was the name of the person?
The regent?
No, not the regent.
The magistrate.
The magistrate.
I don't know what the hell that word – I forgot what that word means already.
Everything about that episode was just so cool looking.
And in the end of the – like she gets into the reason why that finale,
obviously the big scene with Luke at the end, that all gets put in motion by ahsoka so yeah i think ahsoka's
our rookie of the year she gets her own show as well so it's like it's like a rookie getting a
big contract you know we signed her to a one-year deal it's like whoa big over performed on that one
get your own show congratulations rosaria dawson ahsoka rookiesoka, Rookie of the Year. There it is.
I don't know if you saw, by the way,
they put out that behind-the-scenes documentary on Mando,
and there was a great shot of George Lucas talking to Rosaria Dawson on set.
She's in the full Ahsoka Tano gear, and they're just smiling.
They're chuckling.
Pretty awesome to see.
That was the same thing as when the picture of George and Baby Yo went out,
and she was, like, right out of the picture of picture of that right so that's very cool how in the documentary they show favreau
taking that picture like and the way he did it i was surprised george wasn't almost like
whoa careful because like he put baby yoda in george's arms and immediately just took his phone
out and was like i'm taking a picture of this yeah that's so fucking awesome um yeah i think
has to be the answer though it was
not like there that's the thing as we've said a million times like these episodes they're very
independent of each other it's kind of these little one-offs there's not like a real time
for someone to really make a case for themselves to be a rookie of the year or something like that
so she hit on that one in that one episode we love dancing ahoka. We loved it. Oh, she actually treated Grogu right.
I think Mando might have learned a thing or two from her, too.
So you have to give credit to that.
Yep, rookie of the year.
Congratulations.
All right.
The next award, I think this is going to be an obvious one for not only the listeners,
but you and me both.
Moment of the season.
I think we got to go to the finale.
Luke Skywalker's arrival.
How could you not?
An absolute uh i mean
that's just the moment that might have been the moment of mandalorian outside of the baby yoda
reveal all right all right i'm gonna i'm just gonna call him baby yoda i'm not gonna apologize
anymore i think john favreau said like yesterday he's like you could call him baby yoda i don't
i my fucking kids are calling baby yoda like my brain can't do two names when people in my house
are saying another
name, little G man, girl, Google, little baby grow, all that stuff.
His reveal I'd say was probably the moment of season one.
So it's kind of bookends it. And then Luke's, uh, you know, at the end of,
at the end of season two, I, I, I didn't realize this at the time,
but the parallels between Darth Vader's rogue one scene and Luke's attack on the Dark Troopers is very,
there's a lot of symmetry there and all that,
which is just fucking awesome.
So I think that's a slam dunk.
Is there anything else we could even put like in the mix for that?
I was going to say, if not for this, what would we talk about?
I think I would go personally,
Boba Fett when he first gets the armor back on
and it's like the return in the tragedy, the Robert Rodriguez episode,
he just fucking wrecked shop.
I thought that was really cool.
The Krayt Dragon, them taking that down in episode one.
Pretty cool when he goes inside, blows it up from the inside like that.
Yeah, I'm with you on both of those.
And the only other thing that-
What else would we put up there?
I mean, the fight with Moff Gideon was kind of sick.
The Ahsoka fight was kind of sick.
But like, I wouldn't, you know, you can't even compare those to Luke's arrival.
That was one of those, like everyone was talking about it the next day.
I had to show it to my mom.
It was like the first thing I did on Christmas break. I was like,
I'm going to explain the entire plot of the Mandalorian to you just so I
could show you the final 10 minutes of this last episode. And when she did,
she said, Oh my God, Rob, that looks like Mark Hamill.
How did they do that?
Yes. Double. We got real mama mama fox we got fake mama fox she's all over this episode this is let me tell you what i did a damn good job selling her on the mandalorian code because
when he popped that fucking lid off she went she was shocked i'm gonna say the only other
actually the when uh boca 10 and everyone like when they came in
and they just wrecked shit that was awesome as well as the um I actually it's crazy this is my
favorite Ahsoka moment of the season was in the beginning when they like I said they use like the
Star Wars in the dark kind of a method so but like again that like we're just comparing apples
to oranges and the orange is the biggest fucking
orange in the universe. And it's Luke Skywalker.
Does he get the R2 include all that? Like the emotional moment, the music,
everything about it was just perfect. Couldn't have been perfect.
All right. This is another obvious one, but I'm glad to give this one out.
I'm excited to give this one out. I'll actually do you the honors.
This is the fraud of the season. Who are we giving it to, Clem?
Giving it to Moff Gideon.
Goddamn F word.
He's the fraud.
It's tough.
It's a tough look.
I saw someone said that I would say Moff Gideon. Goddamn F word. He's the fraud. It's tough. It's a tough look. I saw someone said that I would say Moth Gideon.
Or you said that.
I mean, you're not wrong.
Again, my brain is just wearing down.
My brain has aged like seven years just since Christmas break started because these kids are up all hours of the night.
They're fighting with each other.
They're not sharing like they are supposed to.
We're yelling at them for everything. they don't want to go to bed so i'm gonna call this guy
moth gideon at some point in the next year or two so that kind of sucks that it's a self-fulfilling
prophecy but it has to be big old fucking fraud right yeah i mean he was a fraud especially
now i liked this moment in the context of the show but if i put myself in the show and if i'm like
that's my superior if
that's moff gideon i don't like this when luke shows up and he's like oh fuck this this is like
the biggest enemy we've ever known he tries to kill himself you're a fraud you had the dark saber
and you're not even willing to like show up you're not even willing to show face fraud i'm with you
the only thing about him is he does know shit he actually does know a lot of things and i still
don't know how he figures all this stuff it can't be just cameras and everything but he does know shit he actually does know a lot of things and i still don't know how
he figures all this stuff it can't be just cameras and everything but he did know a lot of stuff
about that so i'm kind of like made the dark troopers is he like the steve jobs of the empire
ah that this kind of this kind of you're i'm starting to get off of this fraud
now too that's the case the the biggest thing about moff gideon is i almost feel like i'm giving him
too much i almost gave him too much respect season one because gus fring is such a great villain
yeah if it was anyone else i would have never really feared him so i guess that that was like
the perfect casting choice by them um he was previously an operative in the imperial security
bureau whatever the fuck that means. The secret police.
Okay.
That's what that means.
I don't see anything here about,
let's see,
let me just control F Steve jobs.
Nothing about Steve.
He's not,
no,
his Wikipedia doesn't say anything about being the Steve jobs of the
empire.
So that's not in there.
But yeah,
that's it.
This was also the whole thing about the blood,
just the way he explained it. It's like, I whole thing about the blood, just the way he explained it,
it's like, I just wanted his blood.
I just want, I'm like, dude, shut the fuck up.
Moth.
I'm calling him Moth Gideon for now.
You know, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It's done.
He's Moth Gideon.
Moths, they're fucking, they just go to the flame.
They go in your house.
You just whack them down with a newspaper.
They're fucking, they're weak.
They're terrible.
You think they look cool,
and then they end up just sucking Moth Gideon.
Biggest fraud of the season.
Go off, King.
All right, the next award.
This one's going to be fun because this one's not as obvious.
I don't even have one in my mind. Well, I sort of have one in my mind, but I'm open to challenges.
This one, we're calling it just most underrated.
I think this could be open to anything.
I think, you know how we've been saying the Beskar armor could be something,
the flamethrower could be something.
I think this could be open to anything.
Could be a person, could be a thing, could be an object, could be a vehicle.
It's a good question.
Most underrated of the season.
You know what my head initially, what comes to mind, it's Migs Mayfeld.
It's Bill Burr's character.
Oh.
Most underrated.
I know, you know, quickly we've forgotten about that episode.
Everything's captivated us in the finale and whatever.
That was just part of the journey.
It was a damn good episode.
Damn good sit down with that guy that shot Batman's parents.
I like when he shot that guy.
I like when he gave Mando the helmet back and he's like,
I didn't fucking see anything.
So he was definitely underrated.
Fennec Shand, I think up there.
She was by Boba's side side saved everyone's ass a couple times
right sasha bank's character kind of sick she did that jetpack assisted ddt ddt all right bob i got
the answer for you i i something there's something about just saying things are underrated and
overrated i just have always loved doing it's just one of those easy things because you can't really
this day and age on twitter or, you know, sports especially,
this stat says you're right, this stat says you're wrong,
whatever the fuck it means.
Underrated, overrated, you really can't prove it until, like,
everyone just talks about it so much they become underrated or overrated.
I think we have the answer.
We probably called him underrated at some point on this podcast.
Ludwig Gorenson.
Oh, man. The guy who did the music. That's think a layup right when i when i said most underrated that was exactly who i had
in mind and the fact you didn't say him makes me think he's a little and you love him jeff d low
i love the guy i know loves him even how about this trent is a fucking ludwig stand because i
showed him the disney
gallery episode it's on it go to disney gallery it's season one episode seven it's all about the
music it just opens with him like he's sitting in these weird wool like aztec warrior suits and
he's playing a flute and it's just the most ridiculous looking trent's like i love this guy
i want to start dressing like this guy he has the best fashion sense he's got the best music we talked about the finale music gives you chills i love that moment in episode one where
mando first strolls into uh cop vance little town and there's like the acoustic mandalorian theme
there's a little aladdin vibes with the tuscan raiders boba fett's theme is sick when he first
shows up clem that was maybe i can't see you topping that for the rest of the
podcast as far as a pick that was just so on the money so dead on it's ludwig gordon that's got it
was i threw an alley to myself though i mean like i knew who i was taking for that and then when you
said you knew what you had an idea i was like shit if he gets this that would be good but it
actually is even better because he is so again any as soon as you're like the music in this is good
and for the most part you know i know like the diehards will get into it but then a lot of people
be like oh shit like the music plays every time and i love we've talked about i love how they
remixed the mandalorian theme which just the main theme in itself is awesome and then they really
did it a bunch they subtly added it in with different you know based on the vibe of the
episode the way things were going it always did that so huge theme like the techno that you pointed out that was so sick i mean
yeah he of john williams it's pretty fucking impressive yeah and that's the thing the biggest
shoes and we said it it wouldn't it wouldn't have been right if john williams did the score for this
because it's it's not star wars those are two different things john williams just star wars by doing this it made it different which by
the way john williams when i found out he did home alone the other day i was like of course he did
it's fucking that's why this movie is so good it's the he's like the fucking insulation in your walls
you don't think about it but the reason that the house stays warm because john williams just
insulates your goddamn movie and just makes it so fucking good so you have macaulay culkin you have john like and then even like little guys like john
canny john hughes is the man obviously everyone else fits their roles perfectly and then uh john
williams just takes you home and uh ludwig killed it with this one so you know i'm not a i'm very
much not a cinematography guy or any of the shit that goes into it but uh if you care enough about
the music to look at the musician i think the guy fucking did his job.
So I wouldn't have known his name unless I had looked it up before we went on.
It's a great call.
It's a great call.
Can I also do one more here?
Of course.
I forgot to throw you this one.
Let's go most overrated now.
Now, this is different than fraud.
Different, yeah.
Different than fraud.
Different than fraud.
Fraud is just one boom.
You're a fraud.
You say it to the person's face.
You point at them. Fraud. That's what I say to Moth Gideon. I don't even call him by his real name. I one boom you're a fraud you say it to the person's face you point at them fraud that's what i say to moth gideon i don't call him by his real name i think
he's such a fraud most overrated i'm gonna give you my nominee i have one in mind again that's
the only reason i brought the category up then you got to be the dark troopers i thought you
were gonna say that i don't know if they're overrated though they kind of fucked mando up he killed that one and then if not for luke i don't know if i could call the dark
troopers overrated i feel like we haven't seen enough from them it's like they never got a chance
to shine games yeah yeah that's true they never really got a chance to shine they got like cut
the ribbon i mean the one time that they were like really deployed they fucking got baby grow
took him up to the ship you know yeah they Yeah. They, they have to prove something.
Let's just say that. Is there any more left? Like,
do we know what the deal is or like, is that all,
is that their whole budget was used on those dark troopers and they're just
gone forever. I feel like that's going to be a problem if it is.
So that was one. Um, Hmm.
Who else can we say was in the overrated camp? I mean,
Moff Gideon, he's Moff Gideon's already the fraud of the year.
He's the fraud, so yeah.
I don't know if we could double him up on that.
I don't want to call the Krayt Dragon overrated.
I thought the Krayt Dragon brought the heat.
Brought the heat, yeah.
Had that acid-spitting venom.
That was kind of sick.
I'm going to say Magistrate, maybe?
Magistrate a little overrated?
I don't know, Bob. i was expecting a little more i don't know how the fuck is she running that whole town when she had like i mean i guess she
had like the henchman yeah the guy from the friggin michael jackson video i mean if you
can recruit the guy from the michael jackson video you kind of like own the land anyway
yeah that episode was really fucking cool too with the game of thrones shit wasn't it that was that was a sick episode the samurai stuff they talk about
that a lot on the gallery episode like the uh the documentary they put on disney plus man i think it
oh i think i know who it is i just have to remember their name let me look it up i'm
gonna look it up here what was the name of the guy oh dr mandible overrated dr mandible fuck that guy put us on like a crazy goose chase and wound
up with the spiders on a planet i mean fuck that guy i said it i think in our recap i was like if
we come back and we find out dr mandible is fucking you know slinging dick slinging rock
whatever it may be and he's a fucking he's a baller then i'll understand never heard from him again no proof that he invented the mandible claw so it's another
strike he just sent us on a wild goose chase it was a bunch of a wild spider chase gave rob
nightmares for weeks so uh most overrated um like again you're fucking you're the mandalorian you're
taking sit downs with a guy named dr mandible like where's your phd sir show me the piece of paper before i call you doctor yeah yeah we got to see
the phd we'll take back the overrated if you show us the phd all right callback of the season
figure this could be a callback or an easter to anything. It could be the pod racer from episode one when we saw Cobb Vanth riding it.
It could be a Boba Fett thing.
I mean, I think the Boba Fett returning might be too broad of a callback,
like that tease at the end of episode five and stuff.
I don't want to just give it to Boba Fett's back.
I'm going to give it, I'm going to give a nomination, at least,
to the after-credits scene from the finale.
The Jabba's Palace callback.
I did not expect to see Jabba's Palace.
I did not expect to see Bib Fortuna, especially with, like, that Kenner staff.
I loved that.
It geeked me out seeing what we talked about last week, like that angle where you could see the silhouette of the person coming down the stairs, their shadow, before you actually see them.
I loved that as a callback. silhouette of the person coming down the stairs their shadow before you actually see them i loved
that as a callback and then another one i'll bring up is when boba said something tells me they might
recognize my face kind of calling back to the fact that he's a clone i love that as well yeah my first
two things i thought of were one the face line and then and the i like the voice right i know the
sound to you so it's all kind of like i liked how they said i was the clone and then and the i like the voice right i know the sound to you so it's all kind of like i liked how
they said i was the clone and then the jetpack getting two different like shout outs where it's
shooting everything down it's basically the call boba callback of the season award i'm down to just
i mean that's the thing is that's kind of bullshit is the job the jabba's palace was an all-time
moment and it does get overlooked when you say that moment from the finale everyone knows you're talking about luke and it does so i want i think he deserves the award based on that
give us some recognition yeah yeah that year they fucked up and they like didn't nominate
argo they didn't nominate like uh ben affleck for best director so they gave argo best picture
yes that's the perfect way to put it so you you win callback of the season. And in addition to that, I have another surprise award for you, Bob,
that I thought of.
Let's hear it.
This is the least sus character.
And there's only one nominee, and it's Boba Fett.
We fucked up, Boba.
We apologize.
It's the apology of the season.
It's like the lifetime achievement.
Go up, talk for as long as you want on the podium.
Tomorrow you got the time.
Yeah, like you can go up on stage.
You can do the Kanye West, you know, fucking fuck Bob Fox, fuck Clint.
No, that'd be more of the Suge Knight.
If you don't want, you know, your podcasters all up talking shit
about one of the hero characters.
Like, fucking, we fucked up Boba.
We drafted Mando.
We drafted Baby Gro.
We fucked up.
We're sorry.
We apologize.
You're not sus.
We're sus.
Least sus character, Boba Fett. And how much is he going to go, like, there's no way he's going to be sus. You know, we're going we apologize you're not sus we're sus lisa's character boba fett
and how much is like there's no way he's gonna be sus you know we're gonna be rooting for him
he's gonna be the anti-hero i'm sure but i don't think he's gonna be sus he's not gonna backstab us
he's gonna be a good sus we're gonna be on boba's side we're like yo let's suss the shit out of this
yeah you're right we want to be on the slave one we don't want him to exclude us from that ride so
listen we fucked up boba that's on us everyoneinging. Every time I say the word sus, let me just assure you,
I have not used or said the word sus in any other walk of life other than
when I'm on this podcast.
That's not true. Clem says it. I heard him say,
we were in five guys the other day and he was like, bro, this waiter.
So sus this one, this is a big award. The best episode of the season.
We had eight episodes.
I thought the finale was amazing.
I thought the tragedy was amazing, where we really got to see Boba Shaw
in the Robert Rodriguez episode.
I loved the first episode of the season
with the Krayt Dragon.
I loved even the Ahsoka episode,
the Bo-Katan episode,
where they take over the freighter.
Blaster to my head,
I think I still have to go with the finale because the way everything kind
of meshed together the way it built to that moment in the end made it feel like a wrestlemania main
event to me where it feels like you can encapsulate all of the emotions of the entire show in just
one episode like that's what a good wrestlemania main event does for me where you could show it to
someone that hasn't been following the storyline and they get it they're like oh yeah that's what
the finale did for me it's like grogu is in trouble we're risking absolutely everything
to get him in the hands of someone safe just to get him to safety risking life and limb breaking
the code if you have to i gotta go finale personally would you challenge that would you say
i don't think so i think there was a better episode so when you sent me the list of the um awards here
and i saw this one i i did what you did i do it fucking all the award writers do and they're like
how do we not give the mvp to lebron this year and they try to like work backwards from there
right like that's what it feels like it happens with all these awards and i was like all right
how do i not give it to the rescue and i'm going back through all the episodes and trying to figure it out and i think the tragedy was up
there because it like gutted us right and so short too like the the fact that it's so dense they fit
so much in like 28 minutes sick it's like the easiest most rewatchable thing ever i'll toss
that on in half an hour i see boba fett do everything i ever wanted to see him do kind of
fucking sick but you
gotta notch it down a few points because it'll give you a heart attack every time you see baby
grow getting taken up exactly and you just feel like shit at the end of it um the marshal was
actually the other one i was thinking of because it's just like the rescue where you have like
that oh my god moment where you see the boba you know alpha for the first time and then it changes
on you it's like oh that's not him and the whole stuff with the crate dragon i really loved what
they did with the tuscan raiders and all that stuff um and obviously like the pearl and all
the little like nods they gave to the fans and stuff like that i appreciated um but i mean the
rescue was all that and then just on a much larger scale none of us thought they were going to go
like that right we didn't see luke coming we. We all thought it was going to be like an Empire kind of bummer of an episode.
We guessed everything but Luke coming.
Yeah, exactly.
And we got, you know, baby girl in good hands, all that kind of stuff.
He gets the Darksaber.
It was like they gave us everything we were hoping for,
but it didn't feel cheap.
And if anything, it just felt like a real nice surprise so i mean we could try to fight you know fight it for saying different things
why i don't really think there's anything else that really touches maybe other than those three
episodes but i think the rest you you gotta give it to it at some point it's the ride like you said
the wrestlemania main event is the perfect way to put it i I'm sure every year when they were ranking WrestleManias,
they were trying to figure out a way to not have WrestleMania 3 be number one.
But it's like, no, Hulk and Andre are at the top.
You had Steamboat Savage, and it's like that just –
and it had the massive record with the attendance and shit.
It's like, nope, that was number one, and it stays number one,
and that's what the rescue was in this sense.
So I think it has to be a lock.
Talking about these episodes, it really makes me want to go back and watch the whole season like i've gone back and watched season one from
the start just in one sitting a few times where you start at episode one you watch the entire
season and you're like man that was like the longest star wars movie i've ever seen i can't
wait to do that with season two because i thought season two was hands down better than season one
like i loved season one don't get me wrong,
but I thought they just really took it to another level in season two.
Off the top of my head. And this is not a knock on season one.
It's just basically a knock on my brain.
I can't remember like much of what happened in season one.
Like I remember, you know, a character here, a character there,
and I'm sure that's kind of how they did it where you met that character.
They went through the thing.
And then obviously everyone teams up in the finale and everything goes on when we face off against moth gideon um but two i feel like there are
those moments where it's like those big heavy hitter blows out there and it is a different
level so um you got to do that you just got to do the fucking i love that the street rewatch
what would that be that would be so it's eight episodes times about a
half hour it's like a four hour give or take a while yeah yeah i love that that's a great idea
imagine doing season one into season two doing the whole thing i mean i'm like i'm i'm threatening
myself with a good time here throw a free tea and you just fucking float through it man no problem
at all yeah you're right promo code mmb um all right i'm gonna spring a
surprise one on you here and it's not even going to be an award it's going to be an induction
because this is you know how sometimes in award shows they're like we we're going to give an
award to a dead guy and recognize him for all of his uh contributions to society contributions to
entertainment we didn't have an award show last year and i feel this guy is worthy of an award
i'm actually going to give out two awards here into the my mom's basement mandalorian hall of
fame ig11 and queel i would like to put both of them just hang their jerseys in the rafters
you know we respect you here in the basement we respect everything you did for the child
like clem says the butterfly effect you helped get the child we respect everything you did for the child like clem says
the butterfly effect you helped get the child into luke skywalker's hand so wow ig11 there it is
who gets the first like slide like who is it so they're obviously in black and white do we do the
droid first because he like technically wasn't alive and he has like a family and stuff like
that big emotional yeah it's like oh man quill forgot about him. And they show the grave side by side that Mando made for him
with this little hat.
Yeah.
A good guy.
And, you know, hell of a moment with the meme.
He had the line and everything.
I have spoken.
I know.
Like, people, how quickly we forget that was such a meme.
It sucks, too, that it didn't stick around,
that like obviously baby girl couldn't talk
and Mando has his delight. I wish someone could have like adopted that as their own little thing just to kind of keep the memory going. that it didn't stick around that like obviously baby girl couldn't talk and mando does as this is
the way i wish someone could have like adopted that as their own little thing just to kind of
keep the memory going but like we just said season one i when i said i just remember characters those
are the two characters that came in my head there wasn't even you know cara dude and carl weathers
it was just those two guys because i don't know they they just had like awesome moments on the
screen um and the growth that was like the first real growth of Mando we saw,
was how he, like, viewed droids differently,
which was really cool to see.
IG-11 first person or droids to see him without a helmet.
He was a child.
That's right.
And so they go up in the basement.
We have a little Mandalorian section here.
We didn't do it last year,
writing the wrongs of the committee's past.
They're going up.
Are they in black and white in the Hall of Fame,
or is it in color in the Hall of Fame?
I think in the basement, we hang up like action figures just by the pegs.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
All right.
Perfect.
RIP and peace.
Love you guys.
Thank you so much.
All right.
The Clutch Gene Award.
Getting back into Season 2 here. Who, the Clutch Gene Award. Getting back into season two here.
Who had the Clutch Gene in season two?
I didn't really have a name that sprung to mind.
It's like, oh, it's got to be this person.
So we're going to have to do some brainstorming here.
We're going to have to do some digging because, all right,
so Mando has his moments, obviously.
But he comes up short more than a few times.
He gets saved a lot, yeah a few times he gets saved a lot
yeah yeah he gets saved a lot he he loses baby he just straight up loses him all together every
time he has to get out of it he's using baby yo's name as like a way to get people to help him out
he does come through with these little side quests that get him there but at the same point like he
does fuck up a lot we he lost the mandalorian as his name this season we
took it away from him and became a mandalorian but that's tough to make that's a you don't that's a
clutch gene issue there um starting to think about bo katan starting to think about some of the stuff
she did now it's tough that when you talk about clutch moments she didn't get the dark saber at
the end that would have been clutch for what she was going for,
but she overtook the freighter, right?
Her team, not her personally, it was Sasha Banks,
but her team got baby grow back
from the sea creature that ate it.
She landed the shuttle into that little hangar bay.
Bo-Katan, I think she's a nominee.
Luke Skywalker coming in at the last second,
kind of clutch.
That's big time clutch So Bo-Katan I actually kind of like that idea too
Because I think there's also a chance
Like the only way I could
I could like
Take the fraud of the season away from Moff Gideon
Is if like
He did this on purpose
He lost the Darksaber on purpose
Knowing that he was going to get saved by the Dark Troopers And he knew if he went in He lost the Darksaber on purpose, knowing that he was going to get saved by the Dark Troopers.
And he knew if he went in there with the Darksaber,
if Mando went in there with the Darksaber,
Bo-Katan and him were going to have friction
because of what that thing stands for with the Mandalorians.
But she does come...
That's the thing is,
Baby Gro just gets fucking swallowed by a goddamn sea donkey
and she sends people in there and they get it out.
So she's on the list.
I think Luke's on the list.
I think Boba's on the list too.
Boba's on the list.
I was thinking Boba, yeah.
A bunch of times.
Ahsoka, I mean, she just has one episode.
So it's really tough.
One episode, yeah.
I mean, she tells them the name,
but that's the something I would say is clutch, you know.
Fennec Shand.
I think Fennec Shand had a couple moments too i'm you know what i'm
just gonna throw it out there humor me i'm just gonna throw r2d2 in there baby yo wasn't ready
to go c's r2 c so we're gonna throw r2 on there as well um i'll let you give him a nomination i
don't know if i get uh all right so yeah i'm gonna give him a fifth place vote that's all i'm gonna
give him so i think it's between two people all right actually no three do we know who came up with
the plan for the chase into the rescue i think it's boca tan i i mean i would have to go back
and watch but i think it's boca tan i think if that's the case so i was i'm i'm between luke
and boba for all the reasons i think they both came through a bunch.
But it's like I'm kind of working off that.
I feel like they're going to win all the other big awards,
so I don't want to just make it a Luke and Boba show here.
So I kind of like the idea of Bo-Katan,
if she's the one that actually came up with the rescue plan,
to give it to her.
All right, we're going to give that one to Bo-Katan.
Congratulations, Bo-Katan.
The Clutch Gene Award for Season 2 goes to her. This one's a fun one. all right we're gonna give that one to bo katan congratulations bo katan the clutch gene award
for season two goes to her this one's a fun one the baby yo moment of the season now we didn't
get as many big ones this year as we got last year last year we saw him lift the mud horn we saw him
heal carl weathers we saw him save the mandalorian against the inferno trooper he didn't use a ton of
the force this year he used it more for like joking comedic moments the macaroons and class him puking on himself him reacting to being called grogu some
cute ones what would we say was the baby grow moment of the season i mean him using the wires
what was like the biggest baby grow meme this year oh i think i could be wrong had to be the cookies right it was either the cookies or eating the
eggs it was the eggs the eggs was a big forgetting how big that was i mean he got canceled he got
yeah he got canceled kids culture 2020 the outrage army came for baby girl's neck which is something
i don't even like saying it makes you sick to my stomach but Is this wrong, too? Is he like a murderer for eating frogs?
I got the funko pop of him eating the frog.
Are they not cool with the eggs but cool with the frogs?
I don't know.
I always thought he was funny when he would eat the frog.
A little gross.
Is it all right?
Do you think PETA's thought about going against Baby-O,
or are they just like, we're not touching that one?
They'll fight any battle.
Yeah, I think they're assholes.
They would go after anyone.
And I'm all about animals. Don't get me wrong i'm listen save the animals my mom's a vegetarian
i think i want to be a vegetarian one day i just fucking love steak chicken too much right now
but i i feel yeah so i feel like if it has like a pulse it feels kind of weird if you're eating
it alive right so i understand that but my kids like they got their baby yoda toy and it like sienna's
like he likes to eat frogs and it has a frog right there that i mean you can't eat it but you just
like act like he's eating it um apparently here pita did go after um they said don't let the
innocent appearance fool you baby yoda is nothing short of a genocidal maniac and we'll see to it
that he answers for these crimes meat is murder is what
they said so that's the official pita statement they also said vegan vegan yoda was so they're
saying yoda the actual big yoda back in 2018 was a was a vegan which i think that might be bullshit
i don't where's that from you don't know that that's from pita.org this is right yeah they
just made that shit up there Is that a rep time?
I thought asshole of the season was a shoo-in,
but now we got a new nomination, PETA.
Big time.
PETA just throwing fucking making shit up out here.
I think we'll have to say his moment of the season.
All right.
First of all, let's just say this.
Every moment of Baby Yoda is a moment of the season.
We love him every single moment he's on screen.
Our heart warms.
We took him for granted, I feel like. We got him every week, and we were like, oh, it's great. Baby Yoda, we love him every single moment he's on screen our heart warms we took him for granted i feel like we like we we got him every week and we were like oh it's great like baby
yoda we love him but now he's like gone and it's like did i take baby girl for granted he's just
gonna be like got like gone too it's gonna take two seasons two years until the bando comes back
if he's even in that and then if he's in any of these other shows or movies or where the
fuck comes out like we don't know when there will be no shortage of merch though i'm sure we'll see
him on the aisles of targets and walmarts and toy stores everywhere pre-pandemic disney was going to
market the shit out of baby yo post-pandemic disney they just might be in like like oh yeah by the way
he's in avengers the next event he's in spider-Man. We're even going outside of Disney for this stuff.
We're throwing him everywhere we can.
He's in Frozen 3.
I think – so my first instinct was The Wires when he's playing with a thing
because I almost felt like that was like a baby group moment.
But I think the eggs has to be it because that was a big –
I remember it was a big thing on Twitter for like a day.
As the world was ending around us.
You know how Time Magazine, it's like sometimes they give person of the year to the most controversial it's just like the person that made the most
noise that year it's the eggs that's who we're giving it to this year so we're gonna give it to
uh season or episode two baby yoda eat the eggs all right up next this one's a fun one this one

Back to the show.
Clem, I think this one is just as obvious as MVP,
just as obvious as moment of the season.
For me, the I've got a bad feeling about this moment of the season
was when those fucking spider eggs started to shake in episode two.
I mean, there's been a lot of i've got a bad feeling
about this moments the dark troopers coming in baby grow getting taken up into the ship
nothing made my skin crawl quite like those eggs shaking um i don't see you shook very much and you
you're into all kinds of fictional stuff here you you're you're like you live the life of like the hero
against the bad guy you hate the bad guy you don't even want to hear the bad guy side of things
i've never seen you as shook as when those fucking spiders came out and you weren't alone there was
plenty of people out was kfc the sea of arachnophobia too yeah yeah he was one of those
people yeah yeah so i saw a bunch to talk about it and as someone that doesn't have it but again
i don't like the little thing where i feel like it's i feel like they would be crawling on me for weeks in that razor crest cockpit all
that kind of stuff tiny ones that made their way in there oh i hated it all of it very much and you
get kind of the vibes of the uh the the empire scene when they're on the the fucking rock and
the little fucking what do they call that fly into the window they're sucking on the power the snorlax uh yeah i don't even know star wars fans are gonna be like
how the fuck do you not know it's empire so so yeah i'm with you that is a very much a bad feeling
about this you knew once you saw the frog lady's tracks going out you're like oh shit's gonna get
fucked up so the fact that came to fruition that was very much a very star wars yeah i've got a
bad feeling about this so i think that's a lot i think that's a lot right all right thanks for giving
that one to me i mean that was just nightmares for for days when i do my mando rewatch we might
skip that scene in episode two all right thank you to hello fresh for becoming a new sponsor of
the show and presenting that award all right clem asshole of the season there's a few assholes this season we had not just one but many pita like we just mentioned we had in the finale that shuttle pilot
that was like i fucking saw alderaan blow up it was fucking sick i'd celebrated that guy was an
asshole moff gideon was a real asshole the dark troopers were real assholes moff gideon's little
i didn't like moff gideon's a little servant, by the way. The little person that was always
telling Moff Gideon shit.
She's a very Empire-esque face
where you're like,
look at you,
asshole.
They did a good job
casting Empire people.
Like,
you look like you'd work
for the Empire.
Yeah,
oh,
I mean,
think about the guy
that shot Batman's parents.
Asshole.
I wish,
oh,
how good would it have been
if there was like a cut,
a deleted scene
where Bill Burr goes,
that one's for Bruce Wayne.
I completely have committed to doing the Bill Burr voice.
Cause I've never tried to do it in my life. So guys, I know it sucked.
I didn't know where I was going when I started that.
I can't wait to listen to that one back. I don't know what accent.
It was a tattooing accent. We'll just call it.
Sounds like Alec Guinness more than anyone yeah uh i think that guy is holy shit i mean big time asshole and i i think i know where we're
gonna end up going with this on this asshole i have to say we have to throw this one out here
too because we're just talking about frog lady huge asshole here's the whole reason we had the
i got a bad feeling about this moment of the season came out.
And she's fucking bitching and moaning about her stupid eggs.
Shut up.
Frog lady.
Went for a dip.
I know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like it was just a fucking, and she was the pits.
Oh, let me bring up an underrated asshole for you.
That fucking guy on Carl, whether grief, grief, cargues crew.
That was a spy.
He fixed up the razor crest. He was a spy. He fixed up the Razorcrest.
He was a spy for the First Order.
Asshole.
I was going to say, I thought about him during one of our, when we were talking about these,
that guy had a chance for underrated.
He even could have won most underrated.
He played a big factor in, you know, in everything considered.
Ludwig was fucking, he's just, you know, conducting an orchestra, writing some fucking sweet tunes don't get me wrong the melody you know tells the fucking thousand tales however
i was like fucking devastated as i was coming to realization that we have a goddamn tracking bug
on us and i was like motherfucker this i think they blew up the razor crest because they're like
listen they're not gonna find this tracking but just blow up the whole fucking ship which was
devastating without the the my mom'sin shirts are collector's editions now.
Because RIP to the Razor Crest.
And it's not only the Razor Crest.
I've been saying, buy the shirt to commemorate a beautiful friendship.
It's like, remember when Mando and Grogu were together every week on the Razor Crest?
That's what that shirt is now.
Do we put the Razor Crest in the Hall of Fame?
Was it good enough to make the Hall of Fame next year?
We've got to wait until next season.
Yeah.
It's like Cooper's time.
There's a little waiting period.
I like that.
Only season one got inductions this year.
I like that.
Yeah, so that guy, low-key asshole.
I think, I mean, we know, though.
There's one real asshole this season.
There's a guy that looked Cara Dune straight in the face and said,
see you're
from alderon did you lose anyone buddy still to this day i can't believe it i can't believe it's
one of those things when your friend says something so cringeworthy in front of people
and you still just you shake every time you think about it that's what this is every time i think
about this guy saying and hell we're gonna see like she joins him at some point so i assume in that rangers of the new republic show
he's gonna he's gotta be in it he like offers her the thing i think maybe we'll see like her
joint it's kind of sudden you know how it was like he offered it to her she was like no and
then the next time we saw her she was a part of them i think maybe that show will see like the in between where she decided
i'm gonna go for this i could see that that guy is definitely the guy when the waiter's like you
know enjoy your dinner and he says you too and it's just like yeah come on like he actually
calls the teacher mom and you're like oh no dude he's the worst he's such an asshole he's such an
and then that asshole makes you think of every
other asshole i've ever met who said something like that and i'm just like you fucking asshole
asshole of the season asshole of the season i mean easily easily all right two awards left
we've got the least valuable player i have someone in my mind i'm gonna throw him out there kind of an obscure character here
and that would be the uh calamar from that planet that we've hired to fix the razor crest that just
did a fucking horrible job a squid all over it he was wearing the the uh knit sweater kind of cute
it was funny um i feel bad calling him the least valuable, but he really didn't do a bang-up job.
I mean, the next episode, immediately,
they had to go to Navarro and fix it up again.
Straight-up mail time to the fullest.
That guy did not give a flying fuck.
I feel like other people really did put in an effort.
I can't think of anyone else that just didn't have any effort.
I'm going with – I don't know what his name even was.
I'm going frog guy.
Frog guy, I was expecting, again, this is going back to fucking Dr. Mandible.
I'm thinking, all right, we're going to be frog guy,
and he's going to be this fucking underlord or this, like, you know,
big swing and dig at the cracker factory, to quote a phrase.
And it was
just literally a frog guy who just had his little fucking eggs there and i'm like this guy is so
not valuable i guess i'm with that he's like ned flanders like huh this is you yeah there's nothing
to your story and also how about this star wars in a land where every character is a wikipedia page
longer than my wik Wikipedia page will ever be,
how does Frog Lady and Frog Eye not have names?
I was thinking about that during the documentary.
Like, they just called them Frog Lady and Frog Eye the entire time.
They never thought, let's give them names.
Frogman.
Here he is.
Frogman.
Let's see what's about Frogman.
This is what it is.
His Wikipedia has two, three sentences. Three three sentences one of those is talking about his name
is frogman let me tell you that's not a valuable player right there not a valuable player lived
during the new republic era he found a home on the moon of trask where he told his wife to come
doesn't say like come we need to save our oh i'm sorry four sentences when din jar and successfully uh succeeded in transporting his wife to trash frogman was very grateful and shook jaren's hand
wow what a fucking important character this is later legacy to leave however bob we have to
the closer of this all later frogman and his wife looked after grogu as a favor to jaren when he went
on a mission they just stared at him they didn't kill him so that was a good thing yeah true but
like not valuable not valuable at all his four fucking descriptions we didn't need that we
didn't need the frog man there frog lady could have watched grogu just fine yeah exactly and
he shouldn't be frog man just frog like he's just i don't know fucking frog unidentified frog
species and species he's male he has orange eyes and his I'm talking about. Fucking frog. Unidentified frog species is his species.
He's male, he has orange eyes, and his skin is glaring blue.
That's all they have for you on the entire Wikipedia, like you said,
that has, you know, blood types for characters at some point that are like background of background characters.
Frogman, worthless.
LVP.
My vote for LVP.
I'm with that.
I think it's fair giving him LVP.
And that brings us to the final award of the evening.
This is the award that inspired us to even do an award show because we were
talking throughout the entire season about what an MVP,
the Mandalorian's best guard armor was this year. And I think this is a,
what do they call it? A shoe in. I think this is a shoe in.
This is, this is Patrick Mahomes two years ago, Lamar Jackson last year.
I think this is, this is unanimous between me and you on the panel.
I guess if listeners, I guess, want to submit their own, like, ballots,
they can tweet us, you know, at Robbie Fox, at The Fund Report,
who they think, if they think someone other than the Beskar armor should be MVP.
And let's just say Beskar, too, because that includes the spear.
Yes.
All that shit.
Like, Beskar as a metal, as a material, MV fucking beat.
Nobody saves Mando's ass more than the Beskar.
If I'm playing a Star Wars game in the future now,
and like there's something where I can buy or something I can get,
and it's Beskar, I'm like, that is better than a fucking lightsaber,
basically, in my mind.
So give me the fucking Beskar.
It makes the entire Mandalorian, like, species or whatever, just that much more, like, awesome in my book, give me the fucking best car it makes the entire mandalorian like species
or whatever just that much more like awesome in my book because that's their thing it's kind of
with the in a weird way i associate the mandalorians with the valyrians from game of thrones where it's
like they have their magic and their dragons and like the best car and they're obviously like
they're i guess all their little tricks in their suits or whatever. It's kind of their version of the magic.
I kind of associate, I don't know why,
but those two kind of run hand in hand in my mind.
So, I mean, every single episode we're like,
fucking Beskar does it again.
The Beskar, there was never a time where it was like,
man, Beskar came up just a little bit short.
I know.
Every single time.
25 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists,
and a fucking W at the end of the day.
All you can ask for is free armor.
We could go back.
It must have been the first episode of the season when he went into that Kraytragon,
us being like, shit, that Beskar armor is pretty for real, huh?
And like you said, every single episode, we just came back to that point.
We just came back to saying Beskar armor saves the day again.
Ahsoka attacks him in the woods.
Beskar armor there.
Moff Gideon, he fucking doesn't suspect the biggest one-two pull trick the book moff gideon hits him with the dark saber punch dance best car armor was
there for him so that's obvious to the dark trooper when it was punching him in the face a
thousand times guess what let's go armor didn't even scratch that thing looks pearly as ever and
even boba fett has some best car armor as well painted that thing up hell i'm throwing that in
that counts no you have to because this is it when we were like oh boba's gonna come back all this stuff
last season going into this season it's like oh god they're bringing boba like how are they
gonna do it gracefully um he was wearing the mvp on his body when he got swallowed by the sarlacc
that's how fucking good best car is he can't fucking come out the sarlacc's ass or get eaten
by a krayt dragon and then come out of the however boba got out that best car i want to say is like 99 of the reason why he did it
so and now this season i have no problem believing that just because this shit is that good so in a
weird way it like made shit from 1983 makes sense now how the the actions how the events led to
today so i think i think that's a layup i think
it has to be the best car and then the spear even fucking mr muff giddy muff gideon smartest man in
the universe doesn't know shit about best car though so again he stays under the radar with
muff gideon's fucking radar so there you have it those were the mandalorian season two awards this
