And I said, oh, that's right. I have a beard in our little – if you guys are going to subscribe to the YouTube, take a look at the YouTube, just do it for the graphic that Triggs drew. It's incredible. It has me as the Falcon with a little beard. So I was like, you know what?

I can't shave the beard. We just got a brand new graphic here on the beautiful YouTube. So this YouTube is life-changing because my life is different now. The butterfly effect is going on. My life has changed. I now have the beard

and whatever the next six weeks will bring to us will be because of this. So shout out the YouTube page. I'm very excited for this. Yeah, so if you're a first-time listener or viewer because of the YouTube page, we're new to YouTube, but I'm very excited for this. Yeah, so if you're a first-time listener or viewer because of the YouTube page, we're new to YouTube, but this is not a new show. We've been doing My Mom's Basement for a few years now.

Me and Clem break down everything nerdy from The Mandalorian to WandaVision to the MCU shows. We're huge fans of it all, and we're going to break down Falcon and the Winter Soldier for you. If you're interested in all that stuff, you could find it on the backlog in our podcast page. We've got every Marvel movie that's come out for the past few years. you. If you're interested in all that stuff, you could find it on the backlog in our podcast page. We've got every Marvel movie that's come out for the past few years. We've done commentaries for some of them. We've done breakdowns for some of them. We've done Easter egg lookbacks. We've done so much. So look back. There's some evergreen episodes in the My Mom's Basement archive. And before we get into things, Clem, let's tell the people about our presenting sponsor, 3Chi.

3Chi, if you're not aware, is the greatest company in the world. They make Delta-8 THC. What is Delta-8 THC? It is a federally legal cousin strain of Delta-9 THC, which is found in marijuana. It's the psychoactive element found in marijuana. This company, 3Chi, takes the Delta-8 found in hemp. They combine it with CBD, so you get the medicinal effects of marijuana. It helps with anxiety. It helps with, God, for me, my inflammation in my back.

It helps with sleep. And they make gummies. They make tinctures. They make vapes. Any product, every product you could imagine. And 3Chi is just the best, the best in the business. So if you go to 3Chi.com right now, use promo code MMB, you can get 5% off your complete order.

I swear by this stuff. We've got a ton of listeners that swear by it. So check my Twitter. I'm sure people will tell you that this stuff is the real deal. You got to use it responsibly. You pop one gummy. My mom popped two by accident. It wasn't a good idea.

She was seeing a lady that looked like Alanis Morissette whispering to her in her dreams. 3Chi is the real deal. I swear by it. Again, that's promo code MMB at 3Chi.com. Oh, Mama Fox. You never know what she's going to be mentioned in the podcast. Good, bad, or there's really something bad, but good, great, or better.

And that story, Alanis Morissette, Bob? Yeah, she said, for the story, my mom didn't know it was THC, people. And I told her it was CBD. I didn't even know it was THC at first. This was the first shipment I ever got of 3G. And it was a good lesson learned for the both of us. You got to take this stuff responsibly. She took two gummies.

My mom, not a THC user of any sort. And that night, she said she saw a woman who looked like Alanis Morissette whispering to her in her dreams. It's just one of those things that it's just I'm just so happy it's it's something you could just get through the mail it's legal and this like this crazy time that we're living in it was like a match made in heaven so shout out 3G uh Barstool approved through like every podcast from the youngins like Bob in the mom's basement to the old people like large and everyone in between like me. I just like calling large old. Richie is a crowd favorite here at Barstool. Truly is.

It's unbelievable. It is. So Clem, do you want to get into the Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Let's dive in, baby. Let's do it. All right. First impressions. I'll ask you before we even dive into the episode and spoilers, everyone.

Spoilers. We're going to go into everything on this show. So right now, if you don't want this show spoiled, get out. We'll give you a few seconds. All right. They're out of here. Clem, what were your first impressions on episode one of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Okay.

So this is, this is, we'll set the table for the the podcast how i think it's going to go for the next it's six episodes so that was something i didn't realize until the other day um this is going to be much more a bob fox show than a clem show i could just that's just how i think it's going to work based off of the um you're you're a cap guy right and this is this is caps these are caps boys his his like best friend growing up and kind of his uh what's the word i'm looking you're a Cap guy, right? I'm a Cap guy. These are Cap's boys. His best friend growing up and kind of his, what's the word I'm looking for? The guy who's passing the baton to you, right?

His successor down the road. His protege, yeah. Yes. And I think I was kind of more the WandaVision going into it. And even though I'm not a WandaVision guy, I kind of like the idea of that whole thing. I'm also not an action movie guy, but I have to say this shit is fucking cool. It's,

it's cool. It's just like, this was supposed to be the first show of a Disney plus, right. With the M in the MCU. And I felt like I was watching a movie basically throughout the whole thing, especially the action scenes,

but even just the way everything's shot. And I'm sure there's like lights, camera, bar stool, big brain words for it. I felt like I was watching a movie for like 45 minutes or so. I couldn't agree with you anymore. I actually described the first episode as sort of the first 15, 30 minutes of a Marvel movie extended. It felt like they took a Marvel

movie and just said, all right, we're going to give everything a little more time to breathe. We're going to show you a way more grounded side of the superheroes than we've ever seen. You know, you thought Ant-Man was a grounded side of the MCU. All right, now we're talking to bankers about loans. Like, we're really getting into it with the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. But, I mean, it shouldn't be surprising to anyone listening, if you know me, you know I dug this show. I am a cap guy, as Clem said. These are my guys, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So So this was right up my alley. I thought I would like it, and I did like it. From the opening action sequence, which lasted 10 minutes on,

and it also featured George St. Pierre, which the world's colliding once again. You know, couldn't have gotten any better for me this episode. And let's call out your boy GSP because that's your dude, right? It's like Conor McGregor is like your lord and savior. George St. Pierre is your dude. I am a huge GSP fan. I have a jacket of his hanging up in my room. Like the sole MMA thing I have hanging up in my room is a GSP jacket.

You have a piece of a man's clothing hanging up on your wall. That's how much you love the guy. So just to put that in every brain right there. He said that, uh, and these are always like the way things come out and reasons like that. He's like the fan conspiracy theories off of the Falcon winter soldier can maybe even Trump Wanda vision. So that was the first like thing.

I'm like, Oh boy, here we go again. I'm not ready to do this. Oh, George, you can't, you can't do this to us.

Like, and, and listen, I love you. You just said to the people how much i love gsb i'm like gsb you're not a big enough figure in the mcu to be talking that reckless because then we're going to start looking up like oh like remember when it was like elizabeth olsen's a huge star wars fan so that luke skywalker you know like couldn't have just been a throwaway like i don't want to find out oh george cnp is like what comic books he read when he was a kid or something like that so it's crazy but um i mean it's just good to be back in the basement that's the bottom line here and this is six six months after endgame is when this all takes place is what correct right so let's dive right into it we open with sam in cap's room i believe i mean this was at least what we thought was Cap's room based on the early images we saw. People thought this would be Cap's funeral.

We saw pictures with Falcon holding the shield. And I said, myself included, is this going to be Cap's funeral? I don't think it is that. I think it was alluding to what we saw later in the show. But we just get a flashback, a vocal flashback to Endgame where we hear Steve say to Sam sam how does it feel he says it feels like it's someone else's and we hit the marvel intro hypes you up every time we've talked about it it's like pavlovian at this point you hear the marvel intro the adrenaline starts pumping

you're like i'm in for a ride i'm in for a treat and a treat we got in the first scene as well an amazing action sequence to start um we have the falcon in an airplane like kind of a aircraft carrier we know he's going to dive out of it based on the way it looks and they say make sure the laf does not deliver on their threat and get vasan so there's a hostage or a sergeant of some sort that we got to get he's being taken away by someone called the laf and we have a ground agent called torres i don't know what his first name is. I think it's Joaquin. I think he's Joaquin Torres.

What did you think about the way this was all set up? All right. So we're going to start very low. We already talked about the conspiracy theories here. Let's just – this isn't a big one, but LAF, clearly laugh. This is clearly the introduction of the Joker from DC into Marvel. So that's clearly going to be the ringleader of LAF.der cut of course it's snyder cut week they said worlds collide everyone loved that jared leto scene so um i'm gonna be interested to see falcon suit

because like i felt like we were doing the same kind of uh things with the different like he did the the red wing is the name of the little guy that pops out it felt a little mando right it felt like we were getting some crazy little things so i want to see different bells and whistles i don't want to see the same i felt like we got the same bells and whistles like three times over but if they can make him basically like a flying james bond kind of a thing that could be cool i just don't know like i felt dizzy during some of it i don't know did you feel dizzy at all i know not myself no oh god damn it i just exposed myself as being like really i was i was really like i was all fargo clam over here yeah exactly again this was like the movie thing everything was so like vibrant and loud and

everything uh and the flying squirrel suits fucking awesome those were yeah that was a sick idea i i also like this i like like that Falcon kills people. I like that he caught bodies, like, first five minutes. And, like, it wasn't like these guys were, like, just hitting into the rocks and, like, you didn't know if they died or not. He was throwing dudes out of helicopters without parachutes, exploding them. I like a guy that kills, you know? And I like a little bit of blood. Batman, if that's your thing that's cool but like i want to have my heroes kill kill bad guys so there's less bad guys

to worry about in the future yeah so sam catches up to this plane he looks into the cockpit he realizes oh my god the pilot's already been killed someone's in there there's a funny scene where this guy who's taken over the the plane a pirate of some sort looks at him and sees him and he gets spooked sam drops back he gets into the ship red wing kind of um does the the lightsaber thing from episode one where it like fries the metal around it and allows for him to go in through a door and i read online which i had never known this red wing in the comics is an actual falcon who he has like a telekinetic sense with really i mean you could see why they changed

it in the marvel cinematic universe i don't know how well that would fit it would be more of a like groot rocket raccoon thing where like maybe we would understand them and or they would understand them and we wouldn't but um i thought that was kind of an interesting thing they get into a big fight and shoot out on the plane the pilot even even gets shot. So the plane starts going down. Everyone jumps out. We got to see GSP. I think his name is Bartok, Baratok, something like that fight Falcon, which I thought was really cool. Someone wrote in and they said, I thought it was funny that GSP fought the Falcon, even though he never fought the Eagle because Khabib was known as the Eagle, which just great wordplay by that listener. I'll put the tweet up on the screen and give him the shout out, but that really made me laugh before.

I enjoyed that. We got to see Falcon hold his own against Bartok after we saw Captain America have to challenge him. And actually, you know, they had a very hard fought back and forth. Yeah. The,

the whole thing with the, the Falcon being Red Wing or whatever that he talks to, it was kind of like, I felt like it was a weird relationship with the robot and I'm a bird guy. I would love to see like a fucking actual bird doing crazy shit, but it would be really, really tough to like explain that one away and make it not seem like extra corny. Like those things just don't like animals just don't play in movies unless it's like completely ridiculous, like air bud.

Right. Yeah. And especially some of the CG animals that are weird, like that Harrison Ford movie, animals just don't play in movies unless it's like completely ridiculous like airbud right yeah and especially some of the cg animals that are weird like that harrison ford movie uh was it like call of the wild or something he's got a cgi dog you see the behind the scenes stuff he's like petting a human's head the whole time it just makes me feel a little uneasy every time i see one so as soon as falcon starts getting the better of gsp he hops out of the plane with a bunch of his comrades they have the squirrel suits the wing suits like you said and they start going down like through the canyons falcon pulls the parachute on a few he kills a few helicopters swoop in red wing even

takes a few out they double team the helicopter together which was dope red wing like took the blade off and falcon pulled that guy out like you said no parachute gsp wants to get to the libyan border here and i'm not going to call him by his name by the way if anyone gets mad at me call him gsp he's always going to be gsp to me so gsp wants to get to the libyan border in this helicopter he wants to take vasant past the libyan border because he's like no way falcon can get past that even torres on the ground is saying hey we can't go past that we got we're gonna have to call this mission off falcon hit some fucking batwing booster on his bet on his uh backpack goes through he he grabs vasant through the helicopter very cool scene right before they

get to the libyan border gsp escapes in sort of a darth vader episode four way it just goes spinning out and you're like all right we'll see you again soon. This was a 10 minute long action sequence. I just rewatched the episode before we started recording. And I looked at the little time scroller afterwards and we were at the 10 minute Mark by the time this was over. So just kudos to Marvel for putting millions into this. I can't imagine how much it would must've cost, but it really kicked the show off with a bang.

Yeah. The basically when you start with the little marvel intro screen and you know the comic books and all that kind of stuff you get my blood pressure up through the roof and then they just kept it up for the first 10 minutes you know like i didn't get that like all right and then you're kind of waiting for the story to get going they just kept that shit revving i appreciated it so this So this is it. I said, I said, I think I said it on like an end game, Infinity War, whatever. And I said it earlier in this episode. I've just never been a Falcon guy.

He's just not what I, either of them, either of these guys. I've just never been a Falcon guy. When he went through the helicopter and took the dude, like that's when he became my Falcon. That's my president right there. I love that shit. And I'm kind of interested to see which character i like like more out of the two of them because i think they're both pretty much low on my list uh but both guys got some points this episode uh but that was just a sick sequence when he just threaded the

needle yeah and he's just so fucking cool this is the other thing too um our boy welker the the merch king of barstool he's like i never I never realized Anthony Mackie or he's like, I never realized Falcon was Papa doc. Oh yeah. I go, I go, Oh shit. Like I just,

I've just always saw, I've seen him as Falcon for so long now. I was like, of course he's Papa doc. I call it, but that was a long time ago. You know what I mean? I mean,

you were probably like four when that movie came out, right? I was super young. Yeah. So it's crazy that, that that was him. And he still looks like he's like the same age he's like four years older now at most and he's i mean anyone who saw

the interviews he did on barstool super awesome likable guy you know what i mean so very funny and he comes off just as likable as sam wilson does in this show when he would and i mean what we could we could i'm sure people who who listened to it or they saw the the social when when kfc radio when they were talking about how the sex scene in 8 Mile was the most realistic sex scene because she lubes herself up before he goes in there and it lasts like five seconds. He's like, now that's a sex scene I can identify with. I'm like, Anthony Mackie, relatable dude. That's my guy. So we catch up with Falcon and Torres on the ground in Tunisia.

They're chilling. They're fixing Red Wing because Red Wing got shot in that whole battle. And Torres has a line where he's like, listen, since you joined the Air Force, like we can't keep up with that stark level tech you've got. Someone comes up to Sam. They say in Arabic, oh, thank you so much for saving the world. He's like, oh, no problem. You got it.

But he says it back in Arabic. Torres is filming the whole thing. He's joking with him. He's like, oh, you speak Arabic over here. I was getting a little sus of Torres immediately. Right. Because I'm like, why are you filming everything? It's kind of the weird, like you got your phone out at the superhero. It's the whole thing. Until I read Torres in the comics eventually takes up the mantle of Falcon and serves as his sidekick. So that gave me a little bit of comfort.

Obviously they could throw us for a loop in the MCU and keep us on our toes here. Never underestimate Kevin Feige, but that gave me a little bit of reassurance. He then see something on the wall, kind of like in a Pokemon go ask way of a handprint. And he's like, that's the flag smashers. This is a group, a cult that formed when the world was blipped. They think the world was better during the blip and they want the world to be unified without borders.

So that's kind of the way they get people in to join. And this is a setup for the show. I mean, these are the people we're going to be going after. So this is kind of a problem, Bob. And this is a problem for I think it's going to end up being a problem with me and you. It's going to be a problem with me and the show. I think I like the Flag Smashers. I think I like, I like,

listen. You're going to buy into this propaganda episode one? They, like, they target me like this guy has lost his mind in the last year in quarantine. I'm like the mind that is ripe for the picking for these kind of people. Listen, they have a cool fucking logo. The fucking palm on top of the world. Like, they got the world by the fucking balls and they're saying things are better in the

blip so they kind of are thanos people too and i'm a thanos guy like i'm just telling you i can feel the old me coming out right now so i'm a little worried about that um but uh i was sus too it's like always the most pure of heart people i I'm the most sus about, even though after WandaVision, after we know Hayward was sus from, from like the minute we saw him. And then he was shooting kids by the end of WandaVision. I think the what's Taurus, the guy Taurus,

he, I think he's going to be, I think he's going to end up being all right. But I would appreciate that. If like all these people, they, they know, they think they know everything that's coming.

Cause I read the books. I think you're waiting in the entire series for a fucking Mephisto to show up and he never shows up. So I would appreciate a couple of less when you think they're going to make a right turn, all that kind of stuff. Torres now asks Sam about captain America. He says,

so where's Steve? You know, have you hit him on the moon? Is he hiding on a secret base on the moon? There's some crazy conspiracies about it. And Sam doesn't give it up, but I thought this was very interesting because going into the show,

I was like, all right, we're six months after after endgame what does the world think about captain america do they know he's old do they are they confused as to like he wasn't young two seconds ago and now he's like it doesn't seem like they know much they didn't really give much up but it seems like everyone's just kind of thinking about him like where's captain america been i don't know maybe he's residing in a log cabin where only the Avengers know where he is. But it doesn't seem like the audience in the MCU, the actual characters in that world, they're any more clued in than we are. I hope we get at some point in this series, either they make up a story and they stick with it or we find out like the resolution instead of just being like, oh, that super

human that saved the world a few times. Yeah, he, you know, he's just still missing. I'm going to put my balls on the table. That's the first prediction of the series. We're going to a moon base. There is a moon base. There's a moon base. And you know what? Falcon doesn't even know about it. Nick Fury, he has a fucking moon base. We've already gone to other galaxies. Of course, the moon, it's almost like silly that they would even have a moon base because it's so close and obvious. We are getting a moon base by the series finale. Series finale.

So this could be a multi-season show, right? So series finale. There's a moon base. We're living on the moon. Barstool has a place on the moon because we fucking landed on it. We own it. Hashtag dollar sign pen. Let's go.

I mean, the moon conspiracy could be a reference to a comic book called Original Sin, where Nick Fury is actually imprisoned there and turned into like the Watcher. And then I think the Winter Soldier has to take over his duties as like fighting the aliens as a part of SWORD. So who knows? Could be a reference. Nick Fury could be on the moon. Your, your reference there or your prediction there could come true. And let me just say this.

I hate, hate, loathe anti-moon landing people. That was a victory for the United States of America. And we work with a couple of them. A couple of people I like, we got KFC, we got Karabas,

all these people. If you don't fuck, if you don't think that we landed on the moon, move to another. Go to a country that hasn't landed on the moon. Go to Russia. Go to Russia. China landed on the moon. They put their flag there. China put their flag there like six months ago. No one knew

it was during Corona. That was an act of aggression. That was basically putting their flag right in America's eyeball. It got me so mad. I'm so proud that we landed on that loot. And anyone that says anything different, I'll fight you. Captain America would fight you if he wasn't dead or on the moon base right now. What do you think Captain America thought when he woke up and found out that we made it to the moon?

That must have been one of the things that surprised him the most. Come everywhere. So much built. That probably is like the first thing they told him. And he just emptied in his pants. And he's like, his dick was probably still frozen. I feel like that's one of the last parts of you to be unfrozen. You know when you microwave something and some parts you bite in and it's still frozen?

That's America's dick. America's ass is already frozen. And there was cum everywhere when he came out of the womb. This YouTube has gone off the fucking rails. There's just something about this crap. Welcome to the show, folks. This is my mom's basement. Sam is off to Washington.

We don't really know why yet. Don Cheadle is there. We see War Machine right away, kind of casually. They cut to him. They don't make a big deal out of it. I enjoyed that. I didn't know he was going to be in this show, so just seeing another Avenger is very cool. He's sitting in the audience, and Sam is kind of doing a presentation of some sort.

We see in the background, oh, he's at the Smithsonian and then he put two and two together. Oh, he's donating the shield to the Smithsonian. He said, you know, this shield feels like it's someone else's. He's not accepting it. He's not going to be taking on the role of Captain America, the mantle. He's just going to donate this. And he thinks that Captain America was a figure of hope

and now we should look at the shield in a museum and let that inspire people immediately roadie's like dude can i talk to you what's going on why wouldn't you be captain america fucking captain america said be captain america so you gotta be captain america he's like i don't want to be captain america i think that was sam's thing it's you know a lot of pressure to take on the mantle just not my thing they come to an agreement where roadie's like all right i can't fucking force you to be captain america and that's that we get now get a flashback sequence this flashback sequence was crazy it featured like a jump scare basically you see children go or children teenagers going

back to um their hotel their rooms after a lecture and the winter soldier's arm just fucking burst through a wall grabs one of them he starts shooting people we get a hail hydra and there's one kid and he's like fiddling with the keys at the door and he can't get the keys in turns around he tells the winter soldier i'm sorry i i didn't see anything i didn't see anything boom shoots him right in the face winter soldier don't give a fuck crazy Crazy. Your boy, Winter Soldier, just killing fucking innocent-ish people. We're not really that sure about that. It's not what he was my boy. I would have loved if his dream was just like he forgot his locker combination,

which is like he has a big test that he hasn't gotten to the class all year. He wakes up in a cold sweat. That's something I can relate to, not just murdering a fucking bunch of people. Going back to the Smithsonian, first of all, that, like, museum government guy, sus as fuck. Putting him on the bus, very sus. Just, like, anytime you're a part of something

that just doesn't feel right, and just, like, the way the shield just came in, and then immediately, like, you said it perfectly, Don Cheadle, my wife's like, Don the shield just came in and then immediately like and you said it perfectly don cheeto my voice like don cheeto's in this show i was like hey just like a casual like cameo right now and listen i love don cheeto war machine we're cool all that stuff i need higher than like a tier three or four character on this i need to get like a tier i need a tier two character i'm not gonna ask for tier one cameo i'm not asking for hulk to come in and i'm talking

like hulk i'm not talking banner hulk is tier one banners tier two a strange even i can live without we're not gonna get spidey obviously or a 20 star flashback i need a tier two guy in this um but it almost feels like roadie was like dude it's like when you don't pick up the scenes like the uh vibes the girl's giving when she's flirting with you and then you get home you're like oh shit like he was asking me to be captain america right now he wasn't talking about this shield being someone else's i i that was that was a rough look for our boy sam right off the bat and uh then but the other side of it is is cat is that really captain american captain america shield because bob there's this old um i don't know if it's a short story a book let me tell you it's called the ship of

theseus and it's a matter of if that shield is still Captain America's shield, if Captain America's not there. Boom, one for one. You're going to work that into every podcast, I'm sure. And after this flashback sequence, like you said, we find out that it was a dream. Winter Soldier wakes up in a cold sweat. He's like, holy fuck, I had a dream the other day

that I left one of my favorite coats in a cab, which that's a shitty dream too. It's like, oh, man. And then I woke up. I opened my closet, and I was like, oh, yes, the coat's still there. I've had it for years. You don't want to lose a coat you've had for years. George St. Pierre's coat's still on my wall.

Thank God. Someone else's coat. Imagine George St. Pierre's having a dream. He's like, I had this dream that my jacket was on Robbie Fox's wall. It was a dream, George. Yeah, for real. And Bucky goes to therapy now. He cut to therapy. He's talking to his

therapist and she says, like, have you been having nightmares? You seem weird today. You seem off today. He lies to her. He says, nope, haven't been having any nightmares lately. She knows that he's lying. She's actually a great therapist. I don't know the actress's name. I'll find it out for next week. I really

liked her. I think we're going to like her character because she came off as more of a, it's like when Tony Stark went to, or not Tony Stark, Tony Soprano went to therapy, but more of kind of a hard ass this lady was because she was like, I was a soldier. I've seen dead bodies. I know what it does to a person. And we find out via her that Bucky has been pardoned.

She says it twice to really hammer home, like to all the people that are like, how the fuck would this guy be walking the streets? She's like, he got a presidential pardon because he saved the fucking world. And to be honest, I think that's fair. Aren't rappers getting pardons left and right for just like being

rappers. Bucky Barnes should definitely get a pardon in that case. Anybody that was on the battlefield and end game gets a pardon. Anyone that was on the battlefield and end game or infinity war, which I think would be hard to like get dusted back. And then like all the wizards are like, Hey, you're coming through this part.

Like, nah, I'm good. I sold it and I disappeared for five years. I could understand if they did it. But yeah, I think, I think if you were in a battlefield against Thanos or any of the

children, Thanos instant part, instant party. And it's like the Armageddon guys, no taxes, never have to pay taxes again for the rest of your life pardon for whatever crimes you committed and I'd even give like you get three misdemeanors for the future you have a little bit of fun because what's the point of living if what's the point of being free if you can't live right so a couple Avengers PBA cards they say PBA but it's got the Avengers A on it and then you have three there's like a hole punch there's three holes you can't live right so a couple avengers pba cards they say pba but it's got the avengers a on it and then you have three there's like a hole punch there's three holes you can punch it's like

oh there's one you just got that like you shouldn't have parked you know in front of a hydrant and then you wait for two more down the road ant-man uses up to his speeding he's like come on guys like i didn't mean to he's like god damn it i want to do something more fun than that um bucky tells his therapist that he's been making amends with people he said i just recently made amends with a former hydra pawn that i helped get into office so she's been abusing her power ever since we cut to this we actually see it happen she's talking to some guy in a car she threatens him with blackmail of some sort and he rolls up on her with this fucking RC remote, basically turns her car into a remote control car, backs it out of this parking spot 60 miles an hour,

parks it into another parking spot right away, and he just rolls up on her. He kind of threatens her for a second, and then he reads, like, I am no longer the Winter Soldier. My name is now Bucky Barnes, and you are part of my efforts to make amends. And I thought it was really funny.

We cut back to it. I hope we see more of these. He has a notebook that has more names in it. will say helmet zemo's name is in that notebook very important we know he's going to be back in this show i'm a fan of him i'm excited for him to put that fucking purple ski mask on when he does we're gonna have to get the purple ski masks because that's just a dope villain look in the comics like the fact that they're bringing that in after doing the civil war stuff, oh, perfect. But I thought this was cool.

Superhero therapy. And, like, you got to nail the therapist roles for shows because, like you said, Dr. Melfi is, like, the gold standard where you think of. I just started watching Billions, and there's a psychiatrist in there who's, like, very believable. Like, she just acts like someone you can kind of, you know, tell too and she would give you like the perfect stuff back and it makes these people like crush their jobs and this this like the way this story was told where bucky's kind of having fun with her and you don't know he's just gonna straight up murder someone blow up the cars i think everyone thought they were gonna blow up the car first then i thought he was gonna shoot him or just straight like choke someone out but the way he did it all with a smile on his face and like the way he kind of like redirected you every single

time that's the kind of shit that i love about marvel that's what separates marvel from like the old superhero movies where they kind of lost their soul as they kept making sequels to everything on like 20th century fox so yeah i was i was a big fan of like this kind of storytelling this is my kind of marvel here the therapist calls him out for not trusting anyone she checks his phone she says you haven't been responded to sam's text messages i'm the only person you've called all week this is pathetic he says uh i just want peace he's like after the fighting i just want peace she says that's complete and utter bullshit they go on this back and forth and we cut back to brooklyn now we get a scene just like bucky's introduction scene i'm sure this was on purpose where he breaks up the fight between those bullies and Captain America, Steve Rogers.

Here he breaks up an argument between a guy named Unique, like Monique, but you for uniqueness, and Yuri, who we meet. One of the most lovable, wholesome characters in the Marvel Universe immediately. Just one of those old men that you see right off the bat and you're like, I want to give that guy a hug, help him cross the street. What a twist, because at first I'm like, this is your guy. I'm like, dude, we've all had the point where we need a little extra garbage room. If it's after Christmas, I have a thing full of wrapping paper. You just put

in the neighbor's garbage and hey, vice versa. You guys ever need it? So I was a little upset that you were there, but then I was like, oh wait, you're like the nicest person in the world. Salt to the earth with a heart of gold unique unique isn't anyone in marvel right because i feel like that's a name i've heard of before but maybe i'm thinking of something else no i don't think so maybe you're thinking of monique but with a u for the uniqueness there we go like i'm on you know i didn't explain that to everyone uh but yeah we definitely got

some good like you kind of like right off the bat, you're like, I'm rolling. I'm riding with your, you know, through thick and thin. He's our kind of guy. And I like it didn't just start where I like how he was just being an asshole to start everything off. And then again, yeah. And going back to New Yorker, he's a, he's a hardened Brooklyn old man.

Exactly. If you're in Brooklyn that long, man, you have to, or you'll, you'll basically like get eaten by another fucking Brooklynite. That's just the way the city goes. It hardens you up. Kind of like you said with the names though, I like how with the names and then there was like, even the, I don't know if this is jumping ahead or if it was behind the book where it has like, you can kind of see what's written down,

like the commands and stuff like that. That is what TV is perfect for. You see that in the movie theater, it's just, you blink and it's gone. You's gone you can pause it now you're like oh and apparently some of those names are hydra names and obviously zemo and all that kind of stuff i like how they can kind of have some fun with all the if i saw like s storm or fucking i was oh my god like don't you come everywhere yeah marvel don't get fucking cute with me feige all right? I gave you the fucking pass with Boner. Maybe you bring that back for it to mean something. But don't get fucking cute with your little names, your little freeze frames. I don't want to see, like, you know, fucking X.

I don't want to see Xs everywhere. That's basically the bottom line. Well, did you see there's apparently the name of a town that was used in X-Men comics in the credits? Did you see that? Oh, God, no. This was an Easter egg. Yeah. I saw it right before we started recording. So I forget what the actual town's name is. I think it was a town outside of Singapore that had been used in X-Men

comics and you could slightly see it in the end of the credits. So, you know, they're, they're doing it again. Clem, we're doing the Ellis, Ellis Avenue, Ellis Island. Could it be Magneto? Is it going to be Fassbender or McKellen? Is it going to be Mephisto at the end of the show or what you know we're going to just go down the vortex can you put into this uh in the youtube now can you put the the the title uh mephisto and the winner mephisto that was the best meme i saw from the end when i've hit wandavision because that's basically what this is going to be like by By episode three, I will be buying every single fucking thing that could lead to another Marvel franchise for sure.

So Bucky takes Yori to a bar. He immediately plays even better wingman than Falcon. You thought Falcon was the best wingman on this show? Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. It's Yori because he hits on the bartender on Bucky's behalf. He's like, hey, you should go on a date with my friend here. He'll take you to bingo. And Bucky's like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry about my friend.

He's so embarrassing. She's like, don't be. I'm fucking down. Which was like, oh, Bucky, little 160-year-old man, get some, Bucky. Have some fun. Have a fun Friday night after five years of being blipped away. And for that bartender, go get you some after five years of the world being blipped away. I'm happy for them.

Do you think Bucky's dick works? Because, I mean, a 160-year-old man, I mean, there's a Roman out here. Yeah, he might have to be a Viagra guy or Blue Chill, whoever wants to sponsor the podcast. You guys get to us. We have plenty of Bucky dick jokes. We're going to hold out to him this week. We're going to let everyone, Roman, if you want to get in with the ED, all that kind of stuff. I'm sure he could still shoot out some swimmers if it happens but to get to

that point it might require a little bit of assistance if you want to you know help out speaking of that swimmers I love that that line half the fish in the sea just were blipped away like that that was a real fucking problem is that you know you're even though I guess it would kind of remain the same 50 50 and then goes down to 50. Like if you're seeing someone or there's just chaos and every like facet imaginable, which kind of makes me feel bad for being such a, um, a Thanos guy. So I saw a tweet from, I think it was from Tori Fox, who does a star Wars podcast. And she said, imagine your husband or wife is blipped away. You devastated and like three years later you're willing to give it a shot again you date for a year after a year you meet someone you spend a

year with him you're like oh my god i finally found someone we're going on five years since the blip happened and i'm finally happy again and then your partner comes back it's like uh-oh now i'm in a weird situation that's a disney plus show waiting to happen that's probably the origin story for the guy who founded flag smashers he's probably like my whole world is fucking let's go back to the blip i i'm gonna make you fall in love with the flag smashers by the end of this he was he was the he was the friend that didn't get the girl and was always like i know her so much better than the boyfriend does the boyfriend came back and she ditched the friend to the side.

He started the flag smashers. I buy that completely. Oh, there's probably so many dudes that were in like relationships. They couldn't find an out in. And then the blip happened and they're like, oh my God. And then they just fucking skedaddled. They just ghosted, just moved up. I figure everyone just moved to Florida.

Florida just being overpopulated. The entire world had half the population and florida was just people on top of people by just hiding from their past lives i absolutely love it the blip was the perfect excuse so yori starts looking at something that they they were served i don't know if it's sushi or something and he gets sad and he's like that my son loved that he was killed and the worst part is you know we never knew what happened to him i never found found out what happened to him. The police said it was just wrong place, wrong time. Bucky is sad, and you start thinking, oh, no. Was that maybe his son?

We cut to Louisiana, though. They don't let you think about it for too long. Sam goes and visits his sister, Sarah Wilson, and his nephews, who he mentioned. I thought this was kind of a funny thing, having a nephew myself and two nieces. Like, his nephews were babies when the blip happened, he came back and now they're fully grown kids which is like such a weird thing to even think about the this grounded stuff like that um and they call him uncle sam which just so perfect chef's kiss amazing i read online that sarah wilson his sister exists in the comics and has only appeared like four or five times since the 70s solely for the nephews to call him uncle sam i was gonna say

because i did the the point to the screen the part of time in hollywood that's exactly me i was like said oh my god i picked up on this little easter egg they called him uncle sam but that was apparently right there for everyone to see so not it wasn't as much of a home run as i thought it was they talk about selling the family boat the sister wants to sell the family boat it was their parents sam does not want to sell he's very sentimental he's against it he said we can't sell a boat i'll figure it out i'll figure out a loan for us he gets interrupted by some guys at the dock being like hey sam you're back what are you going to save the world again i loved seeing him talk to these people at the dock being like, Hey, Sam, you're back. What are you going to save the world again?

I loved seeing him talk to these people at the pier. Just seeing a superhero interact with the civilians, kind of like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, your old school Christopher Reeve Superman, where you want to root for that guy. You're like, yeah, he's a member of the community as much as he is a superhero. I would love to be friends with an avenger and just bust

his balls or you ask the questions like you know like this thor you know blah blah blah like you ever see him shoot lightning out of his hands or something like that like ned from spider-man basically yeah exactly yeah exactly i mean even it's it's funny too like i like when when he first left and even before like when he first became falcon they're probably just like he's into some weird shit he has fucking wings now i don't know what's going on and then it's like you know obviously end game happened if any war happens that end game happens and it's like oh that guy saved the fucking world you know what i mean and he's probably just i would just be asking questions about the avengers the entire time it's like now my friends who when i started working at barstool

five years ago they're like what's the name of it again and now they like they tell me for like hours oh well when dave did the pizza review or did you see what Dave did in this? And I'm like, oh, yeah, I saw it, guys. Like I live on Twitter and it is my – it's like a company I work at. Of course I know. But it is kind of funny to see the progression as time goes along. I get that all the time. It will be the biggest Barstool story of the week.

And your buddy from high school will text it to you um a week later and be like bro have you seen this and you're like listen i love you but i live on the internet like of course i've seen that we cut back to brooklyn bucky arrives for his date he arrives with flowers and she's like oh this is so old-fashioned which is i mean so great he says when she says wait how old are you just flat out says out says, I'm 106. Doesn't lie. She even says, why are you wearing those gloves? And this was my favorite moment of the entire episode, Clem. He said, because I have poor circulation. You know who has poor circulation, Clem?

This guy, Raynaud's disorder. We got a superhero repping for the Raynaud's community. Even though he is appropriating our culture a little bit, even though it's maybe not true that he's got cold hands i would imagine the vibranium gets a little cold he could be an honorary raynaud's member as long as he's spreading the good word that hey sometimes people's gotta wear a glove inside what's the color what's the color of your bracelet raynaud's because like i think it's like a like a light green maybe i i would like that yeah kind of like the baby yo color i got this baby yo bracelet kind of for the forest luck everywhere i would love that seafoam green that grogu color i got this baby yo bracelet kind of for the forest luck everywhere i would love that sea foam green that grow goo color i i can take that um it'd be funny if we made those like

reynolds disorder like bracelets like live strong oh my god i would love to make this so the flowers move was sweet but i'd have to ask the girl and the girls listeners maybe a singular girl the girl listener the one girl that's listening to this podcast right now, is that a move that you like? Or is it like, this guy's coming on a little strong, like it's flowers too strong. Maybe roses are too strong.

Cause it means love. This is the kind of stuff I've been thinking as a guy. And then I just be like, I can't fucking bring flowers. Cause I don't want to bring the wrong ones. And it means one thing. And then she takes it as another, it means love,

but I don't want to say I love you on the first date. It means friendship, but I I'm putting myself in the friend zone i'm getting anxiety just thinking about i'm so happy i'm married i don't have to think about these things but again the guy is 106 i kind of like the whole you know fish out of you know 100 or 80 year old water kind of thing that he's kind of going through that we don't have with cap anymore i i really dug that the circulation thing was cool and um their their activity hanging out at an empty bar and playing battleship they play battleship i know i love board games i'm such a board game guy i've mentioned to like my

mom recently like i would love to get back into playing board games like let's let's take out the scrabble board every once in a while and play scrabble it's just such a great activity that's gone away with phones we just now take our phones out and scroll them on Twitter. Bob, I am maybe the biggest board game guy you know. I absolutely love it. I've thought about making my own board games here and there a couple times. And I put a note, like, what would be the best board game for a first date, do you think?

Ooh, that's a great question. Let me just say this. Battleship is a terrible game to play on your first date do you think oh that's a great question let me just say this battleship is a terrible game to play on your first day not a good one you got to do that you got to do the words like the f4 like you got to communicate in between all that shit yeah i agree i'm a big fan of blockist you know blockist are you blockist guy no i'm not a blockist guy this is kind of an obscure game i feel weird bringing it up because people are gonna be like what the fuck say a normal game dude but blockus is a game where it looks like you got a bunch of tetris pieces the

board is a square and there's usually four players you could play with two though and you could each have two colors and you have to cover as much of the board as possible with your pieces you can only connect them via corners it's a fun game i feel like that would be a very fun first date game i don't know what do you think uh so like the first thing is you always think Monopoly, but those are always too long. It gets on the math. It was, you know,

yeah. If you could like start a game of Monopoly and then just like kind of casually play it. Cause like Monopoly does lend itself to good conversations. Every time I play Monopoly it's, and it's never as much as you talk about Monopoly. Monopoly is the king of talking about it, but never actually playing and definitely not finishing it,

but you just get so much like good conversation out of it but that wouldn't work again you're doing money you have to keep track of the properties it's a bunch of shit and it's like a thousand hours long um mousetrap is another thing you just never set it up you would just fucking have it there and just sit there you probably have pieces missing um my pick was guess who because i feel like it's a crack i've never heard anyone be like i just don't like playing guess who i've only heard you know it's 4.8 stars on the amazon reviews of games it's fucking great it's it's always fun it could definitely lead to something like this looks like my you know grandpa tell me about your grandpa blah blah blah blah there's a

lot of ways you can go with guess who so that would blur with it if your date has green eyes you see characters with green eyes you're like do they have pretty green eyes oh ravi casanova you start throwing a little slips in like that we could give you tips bucky call us up we'll be just as good wingmen as yuri yuri i also love the idea of bucky actually being on a dating site and like trying to like do all that on his and by the way this is a guess this is a prediction right now i'm putting this on the predictions you will see him he has deleted calls from his phone because he knew the woman was going to look at his phone i'm telling you he's gonna do some tricky shit the uh the psychiatrist and she says you only called um sam i'm telling you there's gonna be a call back to that he's gonna delete stuff to so you don't know what's what he's been

doing interesting i don't hate that know what he's been doing. Interesting. I don't hate that theory. Maybe he's been doing maybe making amends with people, being a little too violent in some of them. Who knows? All right. So Bucky gets reminded of Yori's son by his date. She's like, man, he's really been rough since his son died. The worst part is he doesn't even know how.

It's just really, like, really hitting him in the face with it. So gets upset he goes to yori's house he opens the door he sees this the shrine to his son kind of a nice little tribute to him and this registers it confirms for the audience that this is what we were thinking he gives him money for quote-unquote lunch he's like i owed you for lunch before yori seemed to be like the fuck he seems like a weirdo now do you think it's going to come to the point where bucky has to fess up is he going to tell yori i killed your son i feel like yori's going to be like the last on his amends list at some point and it's just it's going to have to somehow come out one way or the other um it'd be terrible if it came out like where he's not saying it you know what i mean that's that's where it really gets gets sticky but the the line too about you know what you know if you if you're you lost your spouse

you're a widow if you lost your parents you're an orphan what does it mean you lose your kid i'm like yo marvel i did not sign up for this disney plus 7.99 a month i'm paying for i don't i can see this on netflix i can see this on fucking, you know, HBO. I don't want to hear about my kids dying on fucking Disney plus. That's just fucking dark, man. The mouse has gone too far right now. And listen, this is someone that was so happy when he heard that Deadpool was going to

be rated R because they're not fucking Disney-fying it. I don't need to hear about kids dying. And like, I know the kid was like in his twenties. It's still a fucked up thought. All right. And you know, might've deserved it might have worked for hydra i don't know some light treason we're not really sure what he did but fuck man that was messed up marvel i'm also interested to know like does the world know the winter soldier at all like after he was framed for that bombing in civil war did they not put out like pictures of his face all over like the fucking winter

soldier on the loose do people not know him is that why he shaved and cut his hair now i i just don't know how much of the world knows about winter soldier he was hiding in wakanda for years so you assume you know not much and then he got snapped away while he was in wakanda he came back so he's been gone for a while but i was just curious like will anyone ever recognize him as hey aren't you bucky barnes from the fucking museum that's a good point the look does help because i wouldn't even like think of it but yeah like when you see that face whenever like something crazy happens in the world and there's a face you don't forget that face easily but this guy i mean it looks like he might have like maybe lost a little weight obviously he doesn't have the giant robotic arm just appearing out there.

So, I mean, the other side of it too is like, there's been like, well, since civil war we've had Thanos came. So an alien invasion, half the universe disappeared. Then they came back. So like, he's lucky that he has been, yeah, wiped down. He's like number five on like the most wanted list just on that shit. And then plus whatever other stuff has happened in their little neck of the woods where it's like oh there's this

place called wakanda that exists that's fucking mind-blowing in itself right so there's a lot of ways you can go with that we cut back to louisiana here we see sam and his sister about to leave for the banker's appointment and they have these pre-made meals now let me recommend to everyone listening to this show or watching it that if you're in the market for any pre-made meals.

They have the recipe of whoever and each family member cooked the best. They took that recipe. This is Aunt Susie's recipe. This is Grandma Bess's recipe.

This is, you know, Grandpa's. That's what it tastes like. It tastes like a meal you would get from the best cook in your family. Exactly. We just give away taglines like it's nothing. That's just what we do. Back to the show. We now go to Switzerland. Poor Switzerland. Exactly. There's, we just give away taglines. Like it's nothing. That's just what we do. Back to the show.

We now go to Switzerland, poor Switzerland. They, you know, they never get involved in any of these wars and we got some crazy shit going on in their country. Torres is there. He's undercover. He sets up a little camera in his shirt and he's live streaming or

recording in some way. He's at a flag smasher meetup. So you see a mask being handed out i believe the woman handing the masks out was aaron kellyman who played enfis nest in a solo a star war story when you know the enfis nest takes the helmet off at the end i couldn't know who she was the ginger girl so i'm pretty sure that's her i think she's cast in their show so she hands out a bunch of these masks like you said it's cool logo they got fucking cool masks deal with it oh that's cool um and some guy jumps out of like either a second or third story window he jumps from a high high

height throws two bags in the ground two giant duffel bags he starts walking away with him chaos erupts in the streets just complete and total mayhem he hands the bags off he sees cops messing with somebody he fucks him up torres goes to arrest me he's like i don't know what my jurisdiction is but you're under arrest and oh man that was a bad idea he got fucked up beyond belief this guy has what appears to be super strength in some way or superhero strength he slammed torres down and then he stomped on his skull really brutal really violent um this show has a bit of an edge to it compared to the marvel movies i feel like the the flag smashers this kind of like i was

like all right guys like do your thing and it's not it's i shouldn't be like it definitely seems like something if i saw this on tv in real life it would scare the living shit out of me yeah but it just seeing like it all come together i'm always like a sucker for seeing a plan to come together when they opened up dark knight like that and you saw the entire joker all come together. I'm always a sucker for seeing a plan come together. When they opened up Dark Knight like that, and you saw the entire Joker plan come together, and the music in the background, and it's making you just uncomfortable enough where you're a little scared of what's going to happen next.

And then I was like, well, we're on a fucking ride, boys, and this is going to be a blast. And this was kind of the same thing, where you didn't kind of see, instead of the chaos of the whole entire scene, you get to kind of see everything get set up, and then the aftermath of it all going down and again they could have them slam them on the ground shoddy had superhuman strength whatever but the kick in the head that was a little bit

extra and i appreciated it i don't think they'll probably do that in loki obviously they didn't really do it in wandavision that kind of like extra edge to it but i like that they could turn it up a notch in a show like this where it could kind of give you an idea especially like let's be honest i think the kind of people we're dealing with are going to be the kind of fucked up people that would do that in real life you know it's going to be absolutely savages yeah this felt very like james bourne mission impossible the whole show kind of had that vibe to it which which i really dug we go to this bank the bankers like do i recognize you from somewhere did you play for lSU? Where do I? And Falcon is so funny. He sent credit to Anthony Mackie for this scene.

And he's like, come on. And he was like, oh, you're fucking Falcon from The Avengers. He's like, yeah. Point out that he's not a main hero. Because he's like, aren't you like, why are you here asking for a loan? Like, aren't you one of those big heroes? And the sister's like, nope, he's not one of those guys. So they point out that there is a tier, tiering of superheroes in this universe.

And then we get a question asked that I've been waiting to get asked forever, my entire life, really. He's like, how do you guys get paid? And credit to the boys. This is a show where they answer all of those questions, you know, constantly. But we've never got it in DC or Marvel. He's like, how do you guys get paid? Is it like like you know did stark pay you my condolences he says even and anthony mackie more or less says they don't it's

more there's goodwill the world gives them goodwill they give give them everything for free all the time which kind of makes sense you would imagine there's some sort of uh pension plan for superheroes through the government or something but i don't think there is based on him needing a loan tell you what we got a question about this later but like someone's got to step up someone's got to help the falcon he's got enough rich friends right this is a bad look for my dog tony stark this is a bad look it's a bad look like you're in charge of the avengers and then with the avengers comes all like the you know next tier guys who are kind of in the avengers or you know like it's kind of like with Barstool, right?

It's like you had the main bloggers and then you have like, you know, the part-timers. Like when I started out as the next guy, White Sox, David did the White Sox. Like everyone had their own little thing. And we were kind of like, you know, in, but it's like, if I needed help with something, I'd ask Kevin. And then Kevin would ask Dave, I guess, if I ever needed to be paid.

And you would just think like, Tony's kind of the portnoy of this all you would think he would have taken care of the people if they needed it it's a bad for a guy was more money than he knows what the fucking possibly do with right like it's a bad look for my dog tony stark it's a real bad look i did not enjoy this scene because it kind of comes back to him you got to set that up tony you gotta you gotta feed the dog so they'll run for you he gotta feed the dogs they gotta feed the dogs and all the talks of loans. You gotta feed the dogs. You gotta feed the dogs. And all the talks of loans, it was like, I thought we were going down

fucking the Trade Federation from Phantom Menace. I knew you were going to say that. I knew you were going to say that. I know you so well at this point. I know you so well. I knew you were going to bring that up. I still don't know what APR stands for. I am an adult with two cars that I'm paying for and a fucking mortgage. I don't know any of this financial shit.

I mute people who tweet out stock symbols because I just feel so sick of when, except for Ben, except for Ben, of course, of course I, I follow people that tweet dollars. I've been,

it just, I hate finance and all that kind of shit. And it's luckily it just got to basically the point where the, the banker was just a big fucking clown is what he was. He was such a clown. He was saying like, why do you have no income for the past five years? And it's like, hey, buddy,

were you not here for the fucking past five years? Because there was a big thing that happened. Again, we said this at the end of WandaVision and I'm going to say it again. I want to see, if you're making a show with someone who was blipped, I want to see where they came back. Now, there's still time to do that down the road, but I want to see Falcon and Winter Soldier when show with someone who was blipped i want to see where they came back now

there's still time to do that down the road but i want to see falcon winter soldier when they came back from being blipped i know you don't have to like fucking have all the people around to get all the cameos you could have them just in wakanda you could shoot it somewhere with a green screen and be like this is wakanda it says in the background but i want i like seeing people come back from the blip and seeing their reaction to it all. But this is kind of like with the dating apps or the, I'm sorry, the fish in the sea. Like what the fuck?

Like did banks do like, and now like, you know, all the resources you probably could get a loan without even trying during those five years. And now like you could be a fucking superhero where a guy wants to take a selfie with you. And then you don't,

you don't get a, you know, the human torch was denied a bank loan. That's a real fucking thing that could have happened in the MCU. The Human Torch could have been literally denied a bank loan straight out of Ron Burgundy's mouth. What a fucking role we live in. All because of Thanos.

So no loan. He doesn't get a loan. They go out and they argue over the boat some more. It seems that he really doesn't want to let this go. I've seen some people on the Marvel Studios Reddit speculate that the fact that he let the Captainica legacy go so flippantly may may come into play here might may be a factor where he's like holding on to that because he let that go you know he's like let me hold on to the one thing i have left that's sort of in my

identity he facetimes with torres goes back to the house facetimes with torres looks at the flag smashers and they say you don't think he could be uh and they're like let's just drop it you think they're they're just saying superhero you think they're saying super soldier what do you think they're implying that the the main flag smasher could be yeah they're very like they they want you to draw your own conclusions by the way i think they're they're saying uh super soldier yeah i think that's what they're they're saying which could be cool i know that the flag smasher is a villain in the mcu or not the mcu just the marvel universe in the comics he's a captain america villain very famous one so i'm curious to see whether or not they go that route and

they're like this is the flag smasher and he has his people or if they're like nope we've turned that villain into a cult kind of the idea and this is just the leader of it in some way. I think that'll be interesting to see. Yeah. I like the name Flags. I'm like, smashing a flag? It's fucking – it's an act of war essentially, right? Kind of dope.

That's the anarchy sign. That's like rock and roll, punk rock. Yeah. They're really – I'm doing everything to not become a flag smasher over here. People already tell me. They're like, Bob, you look like one of those Antifa fucks. You better not wear black too much. And it's like, well, now I'm going to be labeled a fucking flag smasher. By the way, do you think that they had a little chirp at the Proud Boys when he was like, is that just what they do now?

They name themselves stupid things. Is that a Proud Boys joke? This was wrapped before the insurrection, but imagine if it wasn't. This is not good that we're on YouTube and they're just going to see us be. We're talking about Proud Boys, China. You're like, well, we're going to become radicalized. They're going to see us. And by the end of this, we're going to be actual flag smashers.

We'll be wearing the fucking masks with the face and the palm or whatever the fuck it is. This is another prediction I'm making now. Sam, when he becomes Captain America or whatever, takes the shield and does it all, he's going to go back to that bank and instead of putting down his ID or a credit card, boom, shield on the table. Give me my loan, motherfucker. I like that prediction.

We end the episode with a news broadcast that interrupts this FaceTime call. It might have been right after the FaceTime call, sarah walks in and she's like you're gonna have to watch this it's this fucking guy in the news this sus looking government motherfucker being like well the world has its heroes but america now needs its heroes so we are reintroducing to the world captain america and out walks some weirdo looking captain america's ears are sticking out his nose looks all weird no offense to that actor but like the fuck he looks horrible no if it's actor he's the goofiest looking asshole i've ever seen him it looks like with a party city advertisement for the captain america costume it's the you know we have captain america at home and

this is captain america at home uh it kind of looks like Gabe from The Office. I don't know what he is in Silicon Valley. It was just a tough look for everything Captain America. I didn't see one meme using that picture, and I'm kind of disappointed by the internet. I know we have the Monday spoiler thing. I was going to say, maybe people are still like, we don't know. We're feeling out the spoiler vibe or whatever. Yeah, I feel like that definitely has some legs to it so hopefully that'll

be used and again i didn't know if wandavision would become a meme show and like agatha basically lived in my timeline for an entire week her winking it still is on my timeline right now i just got tweeted that today so uh i i appreciate that we do have the meme that came out of this. That was like the biggest takeaway for me this episode. Did you put in the questions or any of the comments about the guy who tweeted the wrestling thing about what that was like? Yes, I did. Okay. Of course.

Come on. That was a great one. That was a great – he nailed it. We'll get into some questions. And do you have a sus list? Have you prepared a sus list? I have a sus list. All right. So let's get into that. Let's get into the questions. And do you have a sus list? Have you prepared a sus list? I have a sus list. All right.

So let's get into that. Let's get into the sus list. Okay. This right now, this is the beginning of the sus list. And it is also known as the Hydra list because everyone is Hydra until you prove you aren't Hydra. And then you are more than likely Hydra than anyone else because that's how Hydra works. Dude, I just watched The Game with Michael Douglas today. Have you ever seen that movie?

Yeah. Oh, my. Talk about one of those, like, who's in on it, who's not Hydra works. Dude, I just watched The Game with Michael Douglas today. Have you ever seen that movie? Yeah, yep. Oh, my. Talk about one of those, like, who's in on it, who's not in on it. Mind fuck. Now I'm really skeptical about everyone being Hydra. That was a good movie, though. Very good. Nobody's seen that.

It's David Fincher, I think. It was, like, a movie he made in between Seven and Fight Club. It was very, very good. Were you at a 3G movie? Were you experiencing that under 3C? Of course it was. I think that's the way to go if you're going to do it. If anyone needs some 3C recommendations,

the game is this week's recommendation for that. So, The Hydralist presented by 3C as well. Number three on the Hydra. We'll start from one. Wait, did I start at one or three? I used to start at the bottom. Yeah, yeah at the bottom number three on the hydro list military guy museum guy government guy who he is the guy who is the captain america he's like he's in a few

scenes and every time you just like your stomach turns after he's done talking after something happens that guy says fuck hydra Attili fucking dies. Fuck you, government guy. Number two on the Hydra list. This one's going to come back to bite me, and I'm going to feel very bad about it. Yori is on the Hydra list. What? You walked away. I thought you made Bob walk away. I'm telling you, Bob. What?

You walked away. I thought you made Bob walk away. I'm telling you, Bob, it's too good to be true. Yori is too pure of heart to be in this show right now. I love Yori. He has a dead son, which actually, as I say it out loud, it's kind of fucked up to say, and I'm throwing him on the Hydra list. But's like hey i was just doing the family business i got caught up dropped my keys and i got fucking blasted and then when yori finds out he's gonna feel guilty because he turned his son to hydra

bro tell you what there's not a name there's not a name for parents that have lost their children but that name is not sus oh god yeah that's fucked up it's i mean i it still isn't as bad as when i called sparky sus and he died the devil you thought he was maybe mephisto yeah a legitimate devil uh but i do yori's in play right now again yori's just too fucking not i mean look and the way he treats you unique too like there's some fucking anger inside that man granted it's probably because his son was murdered in cold blood nonetheless though hydra if if we're just gonna like think nobody's hydra and all the only the bad guys like who shoot at kids like hayward or hydra then hydra would never

become hydra it's they're so fucking good good. You have to look at the person that you never expect. However, number one on the Hydra list is the guy you always expect, and it's your boy, Bucky Barnes. Fucking sus. Fucking Hydra. I'm just saying this just because I can't trust this guy. He's always going to be on the Hydra list. He's not truly number one, but I'm just saying right now,

I will never trust the Winter Soldier because he killed Iron Man's fucking list. He's not truly number one, but I'm just saying right now, I will never trust the Winter Soldier because he killed Iron Man's fucking parents. It's fucked up. He's my friend. So was I? I thought I was. Let's get into the questions. That sus list was

sus. It was sus in its own right. All right. The first question we got here is from Quinton Coldwater. He says, does Pepper have an obligation to the rest of the Avengers in terms of supporting them financially? A $50,000 loan for Stark Industries should be a drop in the bucket. And I think Pepper may get canceled if she tries to start a GoFundMe for Falcon. She might become like a Kylie Jenner situation. I was just kidding i was gonna say about it too fifty thousand dollars it's like someone has to pay these dudes and like

if you're a superhero if you if again if you were on that battle if you were on that battlefield like that's a hundred grand in itself like fucking everyone from wakanda hundred grand i mean the people like yeah we live in the best place in the world. I don't need your shitty money. Like money is no use for me. But like all the superheroes, 100 grand instantly. If you want to have something like – Sam's just trying to get a fucking – someone who can fix his little robot. That's all he needs.

They need a Wakandan battle stimulus check. Exactly. If it was 2021 and this was real life pepper would definitely have been called out on twitter would have trended would have become a whole thing and i i you know i love my dog tony stark she's the mother of morgan stark cutest kid to ever be born in the world i think i would have to have canceled pepper by now it's just it just ain't right it ain't right our next question is from our guy cameron ramos longtime listener who writes in all the time. He says, do you guys think we will get any more Avenger cameos in future episodes?

So I thought this was the fun opportunity to speculate on which future cameos we can get. I'm going to go with one that people may say is obvious. People may say is a reach. I think we're going to get Steve Rogers. I think we're going to get old man Steve at some point. Chris Evans coming back as Captain America. I know there was that report that said that maybe he signed a deal to come back in some way.

Maybe it just leaked that. Maybe he'll be in the show. I don't know. I'm going to go with Steve Rogers himself, Captain America. I like that one. I feel like the way it came out, it was like, seemed like it was just basically confirmed, and then they kind of muddied the waters

of how Woody, he wasn't going to return to be Captain America, but he could appear as like a cameo Captain America. That's a good one. I'll go hmm. Again, I like, I'm trying to think higher than Don Cheadle. No offense. Don Cheadle, the actor.

Awesome. War Machine, the hero, not so awesome. I'm going to go get a little weird with it. A offense. Don Cheadle, the actor. Awesome. War Machine, the hero. Not so awesome. I'm going to go get a little weird with it. A guy, diehard Cap guy, today dies. And plus a movie coming out in a couple years. We'll go at it, man. Little Paul Rudd, like Paul Rudd shows up on screen. You'll be happy, right?

He had the fight with Falcon, right? Yeah. So they've got history there. He said, you know, please make sure Cap doesn't find out about this afterwards. I like that one. I love Paul Rudd. So I'd just always be down for Paul Rudd. Our next question is from a Christian quarantine.

He said, did anyone get the same feeling to the new captain America at the end? Like when the WWF brought in the fake razor Ramon and diesel after national hall went to nitro. God, that's a good tweet. Yes, that's exactly what that's like.

They look just as shitty. They look just as rose art to You know, the Steve Rogers Crayola As you could get That was the perfect tweet That tweet was made for the basement It smells like the basement If you just smell that tweet, it smells like my mom's basement

So yeah, bravo, I'm gonna give that tweet of the week right there And the final tweet The final question of the week Is from Kevin Kelly, he says Bank managers mephisto hey we're not done speculating on mephisto in the mcu he's coming he's coming he'll be here i'm trying to think like greed is the root of all evil the root of all evil is the devil boom mephisto confirmed if you just guess everybody being mephisto eventually we'll be right. What do they call that in school?

Isn't that a math thing? It's like guess and check or something. There's a method to our madness. This is our hypothesis. A multiverse of madness. We have a hypothesis that's an educated guess, and then you check it out, guess and check. It could work out. Yori, potential Mephisto as well. Old devil is old.

Mephisto, potentially. I can is old. Mephisto, potentially. I can't back that one. All right, Clem. This has been a great breakdown. Episode one breakdown.
