Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members in the basement, noise in the basement. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement. Yeah, yeah. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by 3C and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox. With me is my co-host, Clem. And we are here for a nerdy news and mailbag edition of the show. We were talking about what we could do.

I initially had a guest lined up for this week. That got canceled last minute, so I hit up Clem last minute. He was always gracious enough to pick up the phone and be like, yeah, let's talk some nerd news. Let's answer some questions from the basement. So here we are. We've got a ton of items. Clem, how are you doing? Doing good. We have AJ running wild right questions from the basement. So here we are. We've got a ton of items. Clem, how are you doing? Doing good.

We have AJ running wild right now in the basement. So this is literally his mom's basement. He's running around with his dad down here like an idiot. We're doing good. We're doing good. This is like we're currently in the two different timelines are merging right now. It's like the Loki timeline just ended. The Wood of timeline has not begun yet. And we're kind of in that little couple week break but

i feel that's the thing is when we do those recaps you forget like those things that takes you know a good chunk of time just to get all that stuff done and then you editing and all that stuff and we kind of like hey settle down there kick my little loki over here um We have like, we kind of sometimes like lose focus on being able to like cover all the other nerd stuff. So this is a good way to kind of hit the reset. Yeah, absolutely. I've got a ton of topics. Let me do the ad read to kick us off. It's 3C, you know, I'm you love them. They are the best in the business. They invented the industry of Delta eight THC, and they are continuing to run the industry. I swear by this stuff. I've got my three cheap pen right here. This is my pen. Honestly, all of their

products are better than the last. I hear great things about the cookie. I hear great things about the brownie. I hear even better things about the cereal treat. And man, I am so into cereal treat esque things right now from the fruity pebbles. I'm adding to my frozen yogurt that I'm ordering at like midnight every night now to actual cereal. I'm just a cereal fiend right now. I feel like maybe Coley Mick being on the honkers with him is rubbing off on me right now. So I think you've got to get yourself a cereal treat street cheese bar. And you've got to get some gummies. The gumchy bar, and you got to get some gummies. The gummies are timeless.

They're the fastball down the middle. Yep. They're the 98 on the black. And I remember when I was first talking about the cereal bars on Podfathers, and I remember, I think it was Chaps was like, oh, Clem, like, what did they have to make you say cereal bars instead of like Rice Krispie bars? I go, no, it's more than just Rice Krispie treats.

You have your, you know, your Fruity Pebbles kind of mix and all the different things i'm like you can't just say if you just think rice crispy you're missing the entire other the full collection of it if you may and like you said the i mean obviously the reason we're all going to the three two we want to get that good feeling that full body feel all that kind of stuff but big man large just likes the brownies he just eats them as a dessert at this point and then obviously everything that comes along with it is not a bad thing, but it's just one of those things that it's like, you know, sometimes you have the edibles and you're just like, Oh, like you're just fighting through it to get through it. Nope.

Now with the three G good product from top to bottom eating, feeling, eat good, feel good, play good. I guess that's like a new thing. That's like the bloggers version of Dion's phrase right there. Yeah, absolutely. Go to 3chi.com right now use the promo code MMB if you're 21 or older and get yourself some delta 8 THC this stuff is the best in the business all right let's get into the news topics Clem the first one is very much in my world I don't know how much this interests you, but it was a topic that a lot of listeners were asking me about. It seems that AEW may be loading up on talent. In the span of 24 hours this week, we found out that they are allegedly in negotiations with CM Punk for a

return to the ring. CM Punk has not wrestled since Januaryuary of 2014 he has not even teased a return to wrestling since then and we learned just 24 hours later that allegedly daniel bryan has signed an aew contract people think he may debut at the upcoming arthur ash stadium show in new york i'll be at that show with brandon walker i believe so that would be amazing for me. People were saying, what do you think about this? I, man, I don't know how Vince McMahon counters this right now, because those are the two biggest organically built baby faces that people would associate with the WWE in the last 20 years. Probably they brought a lot of people back into the product. They brought a lot of people that strayed away from it back into the product. So I think they're maybe two of the most must watch people in wrestling.

Once they're in that company with freedom. I mean, CM Punk is the most must watch commodity in wrestling with a live microphone in his hand right now. So, man, I think it's crazy. And AEW is putting on great show after great show after great show people are going home happy the wwe is pissing a lot of people off right now between the peacock deal the actual product that's going on they're bringing goldberg back you know and putting them in the title match again it just feels stale it feels like a cycle the wwe landscape hasn't changed very much since cm punk left

which is crazy because that was like seven years ago and the attitude era lasted like three years so when you think about like how fast the business used to move and how quickly things used to change and it's been roman reigns for seven years you, and he's doing the best work of his career right now. He's tremendous right now. Like, don't, you know, do away with him now. But it makes sense why both people CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, Bryan Danielson, I guess, would go over and sign to AEW where they're going to get more freedom. They're going to get fresh matchups. They're going to get creative license over their characters so i'm excited i'm honestly as a fan those are two guys that i would put my personal favorite uh mount rushmore if you will so i'm very excited for that and it's gonna really make me like you know i've always been an aew wwe guy it's gonna be hard not to be a AEW diehard now. And so I was a diehard wrestling fan. I mean, I started when I was a kid back in the Hulk Hogan days, and then I came back from the Attitude Era,

and I missed the entire CM Punk, Daniel Bryan. That was after I had stopped watching, which I always find it. It's just one of those funny things how wrestling is one of the few things in the world where people just stop watching for years, come back. It's like, oh, when did you start start watching when did you stop like that's just a conversation you have with people it's like a completely normal thing i find it so funny it's like imagine people just stopped watching like i stopped watching marvel you know in phase two came back in phase four though that doesn't that just doesn't happen it's just it's a very funny

thing but i mean we've talked about this in the past with how we always root from dc to be better so then marvel has to be pushed to be better. And even though Feige obviously does a great job, competition always breeds that kind of stuff. Totally. So this is, I think, a good thing for everybody involved. I think it's a good thing for AEW. I don't know. Like, I never know what to think about the WWE product because I don't watch it just based on the Twitter uh you

know whenever there's a pay-per-view or something on or something big happens I can gauge the you know temperature of the fan base and usually everyone's pissed I don't so you told me Roman Reigns is like kind of like hot right now I just know everyone has hated him forever so the fact that he actually has a little bit of momentum going that shocked me um they finally turned him heel that was the big thing for like six years. He was just pushed as this kind of generic baby face that everyone didn't like the character didn't change at all. Nothing about his character changed.

And then they finally turned him heel and he's showing so much personality. Paul Heyman is his manager. He's like the tribal chief. Now he's a completely new character. He's with the usos who are his real life cousins like it's a really really good character and it's sort of the thing where fans are like we fucking told you so we told you this seven years ago that if you just turned him heel he would be fantastic so it's it's bittersweet it's like oh we told you so yeah and now that these two guys who i know everyone

loves and i know that i think o'brien has like a lot of physical issues right and that's part of the reason why he did yeah yeah and then cm punk i think him and vince had an issue i know you want to do like ufc and all that kind of stuff so are they both coming into the uh aw physically and like mentally healthy and all that kind of stuff is that i think so yeah and like over the years has been very like hasn't for the first few years that he was out of the wwe wouldn't even talk about wrestling wouldn't even like refer to wrestling his career at all wouldn't tweet about it much and there he kind of had a weird relationship with wrestling over the past six months 12 months 16 months he's tweeted about it more he's appeared on wwe television in like an analyst role so it's felt

like this might be coming it felt like his relationship with wrestling was being mended so i think he is mentally in a very good place for this. Okay. So in that case, like, and I mean, we'll see, we never know how it's all going to pan out, but I mean, I've asked you a bunch of times, cause I do think I said, I think I have at least one more run as a wrestling viewer ahead of me, at least. And I, again, I love when, when I'm into wrestling, I'm into wrestling. I was going on like the, Oh God, we have some construction going on upstairs.

I don't know what you can hear. This is like the old Bob Fox apartment thing. So yeah, I'm going to get back into this. Like I'll, I'll definitely get back in at least one more time as diehard fan. And then if I, you know, I have two kids, if they get into it, I'll probably just always, you know, be taking them to the shows and watching the stuff, buying the pay-per-views for them, all this stuff that my parents did for me when I was a kid and this might be the thing that kind of dials it up whether aw kind of becomes like a legitimate 1a to the wwe is it it's not that yet is it it's not literally like wcw wwe or back in the day was it was it like wars are we talking wars right now bob i think this could make it a real war right now the, the ratings in the WWE are still high,

but AEW is putting up some surprising ratings week in and week out where people in the industry are even like, whoa, we didn't expect AEW to be doing this well this quickly. So I think with the addition of Bryan and Punk, we're talking about a real war. Wow. Okay. So in that case, I think with the addition of Brian and Punk, we're talking about a real war. Wow. Okay. So in that case, I think this is, I could see this definitely leading to, you know, the next,

I don't want to say golden era for the WWE, but an era where I think they're going to have to be better and be more creative. Listen to the fans. Like you guys said, with the Roman reign stuff. Right. And yeah, I think it's, I think it's going to end up being a good thing. I've asked you, cause I've asked you a few times in the last couple of i was always like so when do you think like the next you know golden era when can we start being like all right the wwe is hashtag back and you're always like when vince leaves and i don't know if this is gonna push vince out or maybe have him you know give more you know control to i guess triple h is the next guy who would be kind of the dude in

charge but um i do think this is a good thing for wrestling fans. And even if that doesn't happen, a, the AW product is probably going to improve. And then you have kind of a, you're picking the letter. You have Brandon F Walker with the wrestling podcast covered it all along the way. So I've choked this up as a W for wrestling fans. And then as a former wrestling fan, that is a potential future wrestling fan. Again, I'm excited because I think I said this on the pod a while ago in the beginning of quarantine and the lockdown and all that stuff. I turned on WWE network. Remember it was like free and they let it,

had to be free for everyone. I turned it on and watched like an old raw from, I think it was right after one of the WrestleMania's and Sienna just was locked on it. And she's like, what is this? Like, you know,

it was stone cold and he's drinking beers and acting crazy. And she, it's just one of those things that just like hits your brain. You know what I mean? I think every time, the first time you see wrestling, it just hits a nerve of the human psyche that has still not been like figured out, but it's just, it's the reason we all become fans. Right. So hopefully this signals a new era for whether it's AEW, WWE, or a little bit of both. And a war is good for everyone involved.

When Dave used to go to battle with all the different sites, that would be some of the best content we put out. I mean, Dave, all Dave's wars, Dave versus Goodell, right? It's like there's always something. So same with, and that's why I think in the end, going back to the nerdy stuff,

Marvel and DC, if DC could ever just raise its game up for a few movies in a row, I think it'll be good for the winners in the end of the customers. Hopefully James Gunn kicks that off with the Suicide Squad. Jeff D'Lo, Ken Jack, they saw it. They said it's great. Really? So thumbs up from the LCB boys. I didn't see that.

Awesome. Awesome. I thought you were going to say hopefully James Gunn gets into the wrestling writing game. So, I mean, I know my Vince Russo, like i'm talking like i was deep into the weeds of wrestling back in the early 2000s so i'm a diehard guy so fucking good let james gunn cook vince if you really want to take away ew i guarantee james gunn can make a good wrestling product bring james gunn in all right the next news item this one is loki related we found out from the loki director kate heron and the editor i forget his name that there was

a cut scene involving chris hemsworth i believe they brought in chris hemsworth to do this where loki turns him into frog thor as a frog And there's like an extended scene where it's not just a little Easter egg in the void. They actually had Chris Hemsworth turned into him. I can't believe they fucking cut Chris Hemsworth out of their show. I love that Hemsworth did the voice, too. It's just one of those things like it's like when you find out Vin Diesel's Groot or Bradley Cooper know, Bradley Cooper's rocket and the fact that they kept Thor, except he's doing, you know, this fucking Adonis basically is acting like this little frog. This is when I get mad at hearing the deleted scenes or the Easter eggs that never have all that know like a loki that i don't know if the word serious but it like it would have been a little bit of a hard left turn but i mean we can't i

can't i came my pants when i saw the thanos copter and that was just in the background right so it's like listen you can't do it every episode you can't even do it every series but like hey just like have some fun with it like i think the Internet is at the point where and the way the fan base is. I think everyone, if they want to learn more about it and stuff like that, you can learn more about how the history of the Throg character and stuff. And it's just fun. Right. It's just like that would have been such a great moment. It would have been probably one of the top five most memorable Loki moments. And it would have been something. And that's not a knock on Loki at all. It just would have been so like, wow.

Everyone would be like, what the hell is going on? And then you find out about Hemsworth. So, and then that was the other thing is there was a King Loki scene. Did you see that, that they had cut along the way? I believe it's the same scene. Oh, that's right. Yes. I think it is. I believe that scene was where he turned Hemsworth into the frog. Yeah. And again, you're going back to the, you know,

and that's the best thing about these Marvel shows and movies, the whole MCU is they'll take a line that Thor said, you know, eight years ago and bring it back. And when he turned me into it, when he turned me into a frog, that was my very bad Chris Hemsworth. I wasn't expecting to be doing a Chris Hemsworth impression today.

So I love that. The other thing I blogged, this one was the originally missed minutes it was supposed to be like the the finale was supposed to be a much longer interaction with miss minutes loki and sylvie and basically the entire episode was her going back and forth promising them stuff uh giving like a glimpse of what loki would be like as a ruler and then there was gonna be a fight scene with miss. Minutes. Listen, that bitch is sus.

I don't like her. Haven't liked her. I thought she was sus from day one. I just think that would have been really weird. And then Kang was going to come in basically maybe post-credits or at the end of the episode or something like that, or He Who Remains or whatever. We would have met Jonathan Majors at some point.

I'm happy they scrapped that, even though, like, as I just said, there's some things that could have worked as like as I just said there's some things that could have worked as like a quick minute there's some things that would have just been a little too much do you kind of feel the same way about that absolutely and I wanted to bring up we didn't get a secret episode this week but we did get it behind the scenes I know we did get a behind the scenes featurette and it was an hour long it's on Disney plus under the assembled tag and it was an hour long. It's on Disney Plus under the Assembled tag. And it was great. And the director, Kate Herron, actually says, you know, we felt like most Marvel finales have or the third act of a Marvel movie has this big battle. And we felt like we could do that in the episode before our finale and then treat our finale like it's really like an episode of our show where we deal with it by talking about

things and we have a big conversation because that's more true to the show of loki that's what the whole show has really been so i think them putting a conscious effort into that and thinking hey let's just change let's divert from the path of most marvel movies let's not do a big cgi battle let's do that with a life in episode five kind of like game of thrones did if you think back to game of thrones like the episode before the finale would always be the big thing and then the finale would be the dust settling on that so i thought that was great and i wanted to recommend everyone check out the behind the scenes thing um our boy waldron gets a ton of shine in it he does all those talking head interviews and one of them he said like i feel like most people expected this show to be like quantum leap meets marvel and we wanted to like divert their expectations i was like this motherfucking talking about kevin he's talking

about kfc uh it's your boy it's your boy kfc over here uh that's funny man i saw the i actually saw it this morning when i was going on for bad batch i saw the uh assembled i was like what the hell is that and then i forgot that I saw the camera in the back. I'm like, oh, that's right. I still haven't watched the WandaVision one of that, too. So I got to check all those out. Really good. Yeah.

I love that style where the penultimate, you have the battle. And then, like you said, the dust settles. Because, again, the Thrones penultimates took your breath away. But I always love the finale because that's like the shit you're getting into. That's the drama that's like the the stories and you're you're laying the roots down for the the future you know battles or stories to come so i love that shit so i i i hope i do hope we get more of that in the future i hope they don't think we need to have battles and whatever to end uh because i feel like you're you're reading a comic book the battle

isn't the last page the battle is you know three quarters of the way through and then you have to like you said have all the dust settle and all that kind of stuff so i do hope we get more of that in the future uh because there's a lot of shit coming up yeah um two things that came out today that i just wanted to shout out ted lasso season two Clem and I are both Ted Lasso guys you're right you've watched the whole series I became a Ted Lasso guy way too late to the game way too late I Kevin had told KFC had told me about it like weekly I'm like you know fine I'm just gonna watch like one episode see how it is and I just smiled the entire time I absolutely love Ted Lasso I cannot I think it's my most recommended show because it's like you think

it's gonna be one way I think it's gonna be like a typical sports show because it's my most recommended show because it's like you think it's going to be one way i think it's like a typical sports show because it's about a soccer coach sudeikis and it's just like a good fun makes you feel happy which i think we could all use after the last year show we actually i just uh we just launched some merch in the barstool store so if you're a ted lasso fan go check it out i'm gonna go tweet it out after we're done we're still working on one other shirt for it but huge fan i gotta try those biscuits i gotta try those biscuits i'm thinking what is the most i was almost gonna write a blog about it like what's the most delicious fictional food you want to try like there's there's like um again the uh like a lot of stuff in uh willie wonka like the stars berries the real everlasting gobstopper obviously the biscuits and ted lasso. I mean,

Turkish delight is a real thing. Turns out it's really not all that great. The wardrobe, like I, it was built up to such a crazy high, you know, height in my brain. I don't know if there's Harry Potter of any weird food.

I haven't, I'm not a Harry Potter guy. Me neither. I got one in my brain and this is more my generation than yours, but the Kby patty from spongebob has been so built up that i would love to try a crappy patty that's a good one that's i or what about the pizza from ninja turtles cartoons oh yo that cheese was so melty cartoons the good well the good burger i guess they sell the good burger now but i feel like

that's do they really maybe it was just a pop-up restaurant that they had but uh the kids got into a good burger on vacation they watch it and they're i never thought i'd hear my kids say welcome to the good burger home with a good burger i'm like what do you guys think that's what like i was a kid back there so uh yeah that's it you know what that's we're gonna we're gonna put that as the first thing on the YouTube video. Comment with what fictional food you want to try most, because there's definitely a million that I'm missing that we're missing that I'm not thinking of right now. But I feel like there's a few that I was always like, man, I need to try that. Willy Wonka, like there are so many cool ass things in that. But there's definitely a lot more.

But anyway, Ted Lasso. Amazing. If you haven't watched Ted Lasso, it's on Apple TV+. Go watch it right now. Every episode's a half an hour. There's 10 episodes in season one. You might be able to finish it in one night. You might get so hooked that you're like, all right, I got to finish the entire season. It's a feel-good show.

The whole family could watch it. It is amazing. Cannot recommend it more. Season two is out today. I haven't checked it out yet, so I can't say could watch it. It is amazing. Cannot recommend it more. Season two is out today. I haven't checked it out yet, so I can't say anything about it. Another thing that came out today is Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe Revelations animated series, part one of it. So I believe there's eight episodes total. The first four came out today. It's getting a lot of good reviews. I talked to Large a while ago and I was like, hey, when that comes out, you want to come in the basement and break it down with me and Clem.

And he was very down. So I got to talk to him before. What if comes back, we may do a basement episode on that new masters of the universe series. So just wanted to shout that out, maybe put it on everyone's radar, watch that. And we'll have an episode coming up on it in the future. Uh, I had no idea it came out today. I'm stoked again. I, again, I think I told this story in the past, but I was a diehard He-Man as a He-Man fan as a kid. I had a little sword in my back and I would just do by the power of grace. I have the power. And I just do it like the, you know, the store,

the backyard, wherever I was. I remember one time I was talking to my grandma and I was like, Mima. And she's like, what? She's like, don't you do that? I go, Mima, I got to do power. And I'm just in like the middle of like Sears or wherever. And I'm just screaming as like a little four-year-old kid. So I loved He-Man growing up. I'm really excited when someone like Kevin Smith has it in their hands, you feel like, you know, it's definitely in good hands and let's get the big man in, give him a three-cheap brownie and we'll go on our way. I like that a lot. And also, is that Netflix?

That's Netflix, right? Yep, Netflix. And I will say, I understand everyone with Ted Lasso because I was in the same boat. If you're like, man, Apple TV+, like, what the hell is that? Just get the seven-day free preview. And it's going to be – and honestly, it was one of those shows you don't even want to binge because it's such a delight. We, like, spaced them out. Like, once once every night or so we'd watch one or two. It's one of those kinds of shows you're going to want to do with that.

But if you have seven days, if you want to just, you know, rip through it, rip through it. And then the new series just started today. But I would at least just get that free trial and see if I'm not going to see if you like it. You're going to like it. And then see if you want to pay $5 a month for the Apple TV going from there. But the large, large coming in the basement feels well overdue. So I'm very stoked for that. I also got to ask you about this one because this one I just blogged about and it's not as nerdy, but it's a comeback.

Another throwback MTV Cribs coming back. Really? That's exciting for me. Me too. And I had no idea. My wife told me about it. She was watching one of the old Jersey Shores. It was from a week ago. And it was, the Cribs has, it's like been an announcement that's been out there forever. And based on your reaction, my reaction, and the reaction on Twitter right now, nobody had a fucking clue.

So MTV, I don't know where you're advertising. They're advertising during ridiculousness because that's the only thing playing on MTV. So no one has any clue what's going on except for a bunch of 60 year olds who apparently are the only people that watch ridiculousness but yeah mtv cribs coming back i i never understood why it left like as you have you ever met someone who's like i didn't really care for cribs everyone's like no perfect background show you just like do whatever and you just look up you're like oh that looks cool or you'd laugh your ass off i i i'm stoked for it i'm really excited to have mtv mtv cribs back in my life i think about like playing sick from school and watching mtv cribs like with a blanket over me

on the couch like like a bug in this room jesus just a marathon viewing like the perfect mindless marathon viewing is is mtv cribs right there so i mean we i remember we did a barstool cribs at some point yeah like a few things yeah there's some there's some pretty funny ones out there the final news item this was one that you actually wanted to talk about and i thought was great as well mark hamill came out and he said that he does secret voices in every single star wars movie at least since the dis acquisition. And I think he's done some, maybe he did some stuff for the prequels. I'm not sure, but it was just kind of a cool thing where he's like, oh yeah, I'm secretly in every Star Wars movie. I love this story so much. And like, the thing is we can talk about the Star Wars movies in general or the sequel trilogy,

all that kind of stuff. But there's just something so wholesome about Mark Hamill being in all the movies. And it actually makes me like them a little more. Just the fact that it was like, it's a little Easter egg out there. Cause like, you know, obviously Harrison Ford was like this, you know, it has become this whole other star and there, you know, throughout the different trilogies, different people have come in and out, but like Mark Hamill just feels like the glue of Star Wars, right? It's like, he never hit the heights of Luke Skywalker ever again, even though

it almost would have been impossible to, but it's like, I don't know. He just seems like a good dude. Obviously you met him and it was just one of those things that just made me like a little happier that that's a thing in the world. And if they could have him in, if they could have had him figured out a way to put them in every piece of star wars content put out basically since 77 which would have included a whole lot of cartoon stuff um i i would have loved it too i just think that guy like for all the shit that star wars has gotten everything that's right about star wars is mark hamill and listen i love george lucas you know the boss man and all that kind of shit that guy ruined fucking star wars he brought it into this world that he could take it out like the prequels are absolutely awful and it kind of got us onto

like a really bad track that is our our twitter fan sw prequel stan oh no thank you man i was just thinking too i was like man me and prequels are uh me and prequel stan are on like a good relationship right now i just like put a a lightsaber through his heart with that one uh but it's like like how could you not like mark hamill like anyone who doesn't like mark hamill that guy might have like the most like i don't know what the word is like the approval rating i feel like his approval rating it has to be like unanimously 100. agreed we can get into questions now because we got about a dozen of them. We have a ton. The first comes from our guy,

Liam Crowley, and this is more directed towards me, I guess. He says, if you're booking AEW, what feuds do you put Brian and punk in first? Personally would love to see punk versus Ricky Starks for slash team Taz for a brief TV program before a pay-per-view match with Eddie Kingston and Brian against anyone from POC to Omega. I think with see what's tough is with Brian.

I want to see him against Kenny Omega right away, but the hangman Adam page program with Kenny Omega is going so well. Like the, the build to that is going so well that I don't want to put Brian in the way of that. So I would open Brian up with someone. I would actually open Brian up with Team Taz and put him against that whole faction. So you put like the underdog story and you could build him up against Brian Cage so he could have that massive David versus Goliath match. And I would put Punk against, see, it's another one where I want to put him against MJF.

But the MJF Jericho storyline has to wrap up. Punk could go against Eddie Kingston right away, I suppose. That would work out. Even Jon Moxley. I know they had some matches in the past and we want to see fresh matchups, but that would be a good introduction one. This will be my answer to it, which has nothing to do with AEW or anything else is this will be my rebuttal for the WWE. You told me that Goldberg is they brought him back. Vince, don't do that. I don't know what's going on, I don't know if Goldberg has changed Over the years, I saw people saying like Put the belt on Bill, LOL As like their Twitter things, I was like, oh they must

Like just be kidding about actually bringing Goldberg back Didn't realize they're actually doing that Don't do that, that is, I'll tell you from just someone Who like might get into it If I see Goldberg on my TV, I'm turning it right back off I didn't give a fuck about Goldberg Basically, I didn't even really give a fuck About him when he was undefeated, I was never Really that big of a guy, I was also like a die about Goldberg. Basically, I didn't even really give a fuck about him when he was undefeated.

I was never really that big of a guy. I was also like a diehard WWF guy at the time. But yikes. Well, they keep doing it, Clem. They brought him back in like 2016, like 2018. And every single time, he's immediately put into the title picture. And everyone's like, stop making him a main eventer we don't want to watch him in the main event we want to watch like good matches in the main event long

matches in the main event so it's we could go on all day about goldberg poor vince probably like like vince had the fear of god put into him by goldberg back when he was at wcw and they were really crushing and ever since, he just has him. And he's always that 10 out of 10 in his brain. Oh, God. It's not good. It's not good. All right.

This one comes from Nick Giacobbe. He says, you can create any Disney plus show or movie for Star Wars and Marvel, but it cannot be an A-list character. So like no Luke, no Vader, no Wolverader no wolverine dr doom etc which are you choosing mine would be darth plegas or a knights of the old republic movie series and a show about the daily bugle or one with cord and meek i love cord i love meek so that obviously uh hits close to home i would love to see that it's a a good question. If we're doing one from Star Wars and one from Marvel, what would you like to see, Clem? So I'm pretty, my, my, my first two answers,

like the first two that came to mind are both things that I think are coming out. Cause I, my guys are 2D2 and Baby Groot, but do we both have those definitely coming out for sure? Those, yeah, those are, I think we get droids is like coming back, right? It's like an R2-D2 C-3PO animated show. I think R2-D2 can be a solo one, a solo Clem creation. And Baby Groot is getting an animated show on Disney+. So yeah, that is coming. Okay, so to not cheat there and use that,

I am going to choose one that is coming okay so i'll to not like cheat there and and use that i am going to choose one that is like i think this is the way you introduce him and then you can then take that to introduce basically all the crazy and it's gonna this would probably have to be some point next year or even further but with a lot of stuff going on in space but if you can introduce his character give a little bit of backstory and then have him touch all the weird shit we're going to be finding in deep space. Give me some Silver Surfer. I don't think Silver Surfer is A-list, right? I mean, I think some Silver Surfer fans would be mad at you for that, but I would say no. Oh, I hope prequel standards and a Silver Surfer fan too.

I'm really going to piss him off. I mean, Silver Surfer, like he obviously gets the people going and stuff like that. But I mean, he's never had his own movie, right? So it's like that's I'm kind of i'm just trying to go based off of that but i do think to have him kind of be the guide to the really heavy shit that's going to be going on in space could be fun and then you're touching galactus fantastic force shit probably some kang stuff all that um yeah silver surfer is my marvel answer. All right. I've got two answers. I thought you were going to go Lobot in Star Wars. First of all, I was like, I really think.

Lobot is my answer for Star Wars. Yes, he is my answer for Star Wars. For my Marvel answer, I'm going to go with a Randall Park office style detective show with Agent Wu, Agent Jimmy Wu. Yep. You've been like kind of putting a little Wu vibe out there with this, I feel, back when he was on WandaVision. I dig that. That would be fun.

He's so deluxe. Like that was, I think, a big problem with the second half of WandaVision is like Agent Wu kind of like disappeared from our screens for a while there. Yeah, he was so great. Yeah. Hopefully we get him back in Ant-Man 3. You know, he was brought in in the Ant-Man movies. So hopefully we get more Agent Wu uh ant-man 3 he you know he was brought in in the ant-man movies so

hopefully we get more agent blue scott lang interactions and for my star wars answer i'm gonna make prequel stands day here and i'm gonna say i want a pod racing show where you treat pod racing really seriously i loved ford versus ferrari i think that's where this is coming from in my brain. But give me like F1 is such a hot thing right now. Give me a pod racing version of F1 drive to survive, whatever this show people love, like in a fictional sense. Dude. Redeem it. F1 is blowing the hell up.

And I don't know how it just kept going, but it just keeps going up and up. The stock, it's like GameStop. I'm like, this is still doing its thing still doing its thing i'm like hey good for them i'm happy for all the fans uh it's just a real trip to see from the outside looking but okay bob you came like you came correct with that one that's a that's a good answer um i'll get you know what i'm giving prequel stand basin boy of the day just because i'm i'm looking like i'm not looking to get the i feel really bad about what i did i'm not looking to get i feel really bad about what i did i'm not trying to get on his bad side again this one comes from dylan caraballo he says which dormant comic book franchise should get a proper revival slash reboot for me the technology is good enough now for a well-made spawn movie that would be insane i think that

might be coming also cast michael B. Jordan as Spawn. It's a good casting. I have an answer to this that is like very easily coming to my brain. It's the Rocketeer. I was such a Rocketeer fan as a kid. I thought that was such a great movie. It's actually a Disney superhero movie, which is rare. And it was directed by the guy who went on to direct Captain America, the first avenger which we just passed the 10-year anniversary of i think this past week so shout out to that that's a great movie uh both time period pieces and i think a new rocketeer could work is it all right if i say i didn't like um the rocketeer i just didn't i just i just didn't dig it and i think i like it mostly

based on nostalgia to be honest yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. First of all, the Spawn one's great. And I remember Spawn was massive when it was really cooking back when I was younger. I mean, the Spawn is the answer. Another one that comes to mind that I feel like you have to get with all these things. You could get like the right, like James Gunn takes any of these franchises i'm like that's gonna be a fucking hit at the black at the box office like i'm interested if something like dick tracy could work just the way like if you're going like a throwback or you kind of modernize it there's a

lot of different ways you can go that movie like i feel like if i watch it now i'd be like wow that got really wild and just thinking my little kid brain processing everything on the big screen when it happened. I'm going to make a I'm going to make a prediction right now. So it's July 23rd, 2021 in the next 10 years. So we have until July 23rd, 2031. A one of these dormant movie comic book, one of these dormant comic book franchises will be the number one movie at the box office. So it's going to take down marvel it's going to take down dc like it's kind of like like you said i feel

like dc if dc can get some um you know w's here after the suicide squad they build it up they kind of be the they're they're the renegade you have dc versus marvel and then it's kind of the ecw someone's the spot you know someone's going to come out of nowhere and they're going to get the number one spot. Kind of like when ECW, they would have their moments where they kind of just would like shock the wrestling world every so often. I'm making that prediction right now.

Put it in the books, July 23rd, 2031. We will have number one at the box office. It's not really like too hot of a take. Like what did Kevin say? Didn't Kevin say something like, it was like 10,000 to one John Mellencamp will win an Oscar or something like that. So this is my version of that. It's really not too crazy, but, uh,

I feel like that could happen in the next 10 years. By the way, speaking of winning an Oscar, I don't believe he won, but I know that Al Pacino got nominated for an Oscar for Dick Tracy, which is kind of hysterical when you think about it. Really? Yeah. Before we go on, I want to tell everyone about one of our sponsors, Bare Bottom Clothing. I've actually got right here, my bare bottom pants. They're a little wrinkled because they've been in a pile, but these are the pants that I

wore at that press conference. I keep bringing up the press conference. I was wearing the cuts shirt and I was wearing the bare bottom pants. My know, my full wardrobe now is my mom's basement sponsors because these sponsors are the truth. They're the best. They really are the best joggers that I own. They're so comfortable. They're so versatile. And right now you can go to barebottomclothing.com and use the promo code basement. You'll get free shipping on your first order.

You can get a ton of stuff here. You get two made for summer, lightweight tech tees and a a pair of stretch shorts for under a hundred dollars. I mean, it's 2021. Let's keep the shorts above our knees people, right? Maybe not the Tyler O'Day length that he does like the two inch inseams. They've got the five and a half and seven inch inseams. Those are great designed to transition from the couch to the gym, to work, to play, or whatever you like to do. And you can give back. They've donated over a hundred thousand pairs of shorts to children in need. Starting this summer, they will be donating a school lunch for each item sold. So

think about that. You're buying yourself a pair of pants. You're buying a kid a school lunch. That's good karma for you. Go to barebottomclothing.com. Use the promo code basement. You will get free shipping on your first order. Great stuff at Bare Bottom Clothing. You got to do it. We're getting back to the real world. Come September, I think everyone's going to start wearing pants again. In the office, people are just wearing mesh shorts.

And I don't know if that's the new style or just that we work in a fantasy job where you could just show up as if you just strolled out of the gym or or just woke up but like bare bottom it gives you the nice clothing that's still comfortably because we're all going to be slowly transitioning to real and i think like the uncomfortable brands and stuff like that that's gone that's gone the way of the dodo 2020 killed all that shit so uh shout out to bare bottom good clothing and good cause. Can't go wrong. Double doozy. Absolutely. I love this question from Michael J. Fats. He said, if you were to rewrite now, bear with me here.

You got, I had to read this a couple of times. Maybe it was my three G brain to really comprehend it. Okay, Bob, Bob, give, then give me like five minutes here. Cause you know how my brain's been late there. I'm ready. He says, if you were to rewrite the star Wars saga in the manner that the MCU was with episodes one through nine serving as Avengers style movie. So he's saying, imagine the Star Wars universe is the MCU and every like actual episode is a big tentpole Avengers movie. He says, which movies or shows would you want to fill the gaps between those movies? So I would love to see a Luke in between episode five and six, a Han and Chewie between four and five, maybe a Tarkin

origin, stuff like that. Immediately what came to mind for me, and this is cheating a little bit, is the current comic book storyline, War of the Bounty Hunters. I would love to see a miniseries, like a Disney plus min mini series of what happened in between episodes five and six where boba had to get han's body to java and the bounty hunters that stole it from him etc etc i would love to see anakin and obi-wan build on their relationship in between episode two and three i feel like by three that would really make the betrayal hurt more i would also love to see ahsoka brought in in any live by three that would really make the betrayal hurt more i would also love to see ahsoka brought in in any live action way that would be cool between episodes four and

five i would love to see luke honing in on his skills even before he meets yoda i feel like that would be cool like becoming more of a man and less of a farm boy yeah the the luke to see where he gets to in hoth where he's able to you know make the lightsaber move and all that kind of stuff right i mean there's every time he had the jedi like luke after six and then because that was the coolest thing about seeing him in mandalorian absolutely this is the dude fully i'm at my uh you know he's fully operational at that point. That is a fully operational battle station. I feel, and it's such a cliche answer, but if this like entire question is like a porterhouse steak,

between episode five and six is the fillet of it. Like there's just so much there. The boba where everyone's trying to get Han in the car, but like you said, everything they do to get into Jabba's palace and all the plan goes on there. You have Lando as a chess piece and a character, which Lando could Lando Star Wars. Would that be

acceptable as an answer? A Lando Star Wars show for the previous question? Because that was my other answer. It's coming. Oh, that's right. It is coming. I forgot. Yeah. Hell yeah. I just got stoked about that. I forgot all about that. Look at that. You willed it into fruition. Here it comes. It's like, yeah, I created life like Darth Plagueis basically.

Yeah, man. I honestly like we're at the point now where I forgot everything that is coming for Star Wars because we get all those plans basically solo and the sequels wiped from existence. And now I don't even remember what's back um i'm trying to think of like so the sequel trilogy is tough because i really didn't didn't love it but if if you know what i would like to see from the sequel trilogy the knights of ren yes but they i get so angry because like there was so much cool shit that i thought was going to come in that sequel trilogy the knights of ren being one of them and it just never ever happened uh let's just ignore the entire loop skywalker training facility storyline in between uh six and seven as well but yeah i think like and i guess you probably got a bunch of this in the clone wars and different

cartoons and stuff like that but the entire like the build-up of anakin his friendship with obi-wan and just like him becoming so powerful i'd love to see the background of the Jedi Council seeing this build up anything with the Emperor and all that there's that's a great question Michael J. Fats good Twitter guy good Twitter guy that's a name that I know very well so it's a great question um this one is pretty easy to answer we talked about it briefly I think on the Loki finale podcast. This one comes from Jason. He says, what are your thoughts on What If based on the latest trailer?

I think me and Clem are both stoked about What If. I thought the animation style was super unique. I feel like I've never seen anything like that in animation. I think the storylines they picked are very cool based on the little snippets we've seen. Looking forward to seeing Chadwick Boseman's final performance. That's going to be bittersweetweet but obviously powerful in a in a cool way so i'm really excited about what if i think we're going to do recap episodes for every episode yeah uh the the trailer just got me more excited and it was one of those things that it is such an interesting franchise that i really didn't know which way it would it would go and we still don't know because trailers are made to

look awesome, right? It's like if a trailer is bad, the movie or whatever is completely fucked. This is also though my first real dive into like a cartoon having, it's not even canon because it's what if and it's kind of separate, but having like something that's really drawn

from a franchise that like kind of matters to something I love where, cause I've never got, I didn't even get into Clone Wars, Bad Batch. I'm just getting into now with you and Ken Jack, but even that, like, so this, that's the first, I guess, ever time I've had to get into that. And I will say that it's, it's much better than I expected. I didn't think I was going to like having to get into the cartoons as much. But the technology is so good. The production value is value is i mean just everything's so good that it's an extension to what they can do and uh i mean again what if it was x-men was my go-to i would read all x-men i really wouldn't i mean this is in terms of back when i would read

comics i really didn't delve into a lot of the other stuff avengers a couple spider-mans here and there i'd read a you know maybe a superman arc but uh what if was kind of my like it was like a good snack like it's not a meal you're not gonna get you know fulfilled off of it but you're just gonna have a good time for a little bit and i to hear kfc kfc fucking was watson poetic about what if so i love that that we have another person out there that was like me in that sense um but there is nothing in that preview that didn't get me more excited. And based on for anyone out there, that's kind of like me that never got into the cartoons and Star Wars or anything else.

Trust me, I do think that there's going to be I do think it's going to weave into the MCU very well, not just as much the what ifs, but any future because they're definitely going to do a bunch of other cartoons in the future. And I think that stuff will touch um different movies and shows potentially and i i do think it's going to be good uh and they have some fucking cool ass storylines planned so uh they did say there's the possibility that this weaves into the mcu like for real that there are actual connections so that would be crazy someone said that maybe captain Captain Carter comes into the MCU in some kind of multiverse way, like Peggy Carter as the Captain America. So says since end game, it seems like every franchise, including star Wars has rumored to been dabbling with the thought of time

travel to correct movie timelines. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you think this is a gimmick? I think this goes franchise to franchise and is very simply. If you do it right, it can be a very good idea and it could be a great way to do fan service, nostalgia, them going back to the first Avengers movie in Endgame. Brilliant. So great.

If you do it wrong, you can fuck everything up. It's high risk, high reward, I would say. So do I want them to go back and recorrect everything in Star Wars as a sequel, Stan, myself? No, not really i like everything panned out the way i think it could have in star wars um especially now where you don't have carrie fisher i don't think harrison ford's coming back it's tough but i'm okay with time travel as long as it's done right i guess time travel is number two on my list of things you could do with star this is talking star wars not mcu time travel the fuck out of it go back and forth basically became the conqueror and change it however you want because the number one thing

i would do is just refilm the prequels refilm the sequels and do it right put feloni in charge and let's do this thing right we have the the original trilogy of Star Wars, which is, you know, to the point it's so beloved that it almost like hurts the other movies. But in my personal opinion, again, this is only the personal opinion, prequel stand cover years. I only think, I think if Star Wars was, you know, a free throw shooter in terms of the three trilogies, it's under a 50% shooter in terms of good movies. I think there's probably four of nine that are actually like I consider movies that I truly like say are good movies. That's under 50%.

So you're breaking my heart. I know I don't like doing this. I'm hoping the next question is going to put us back together. Hopefully it's not an odd. No, it will. The next question is definitely going to bring us back together. It's an X-Men question. So.

Oh, beautiful. So yeah. Wipe those motherfuckers off the books while you're at it. Redo season eight of Game of Thrones. I'm all for redos. Cause you know what? Everyone's like, always like, Oh, you can't redo it. Yeah, you can redo it. And then the first franchise that has the balls to redo something that was completely fucked up, everyone else would be like, shit, we should have done that with our franchise. But again, like, you know, the actors are too old or, you know, taken it's it's it's it is tricky i will say but

uh i i like come on man game of thrones has all these like new shows coming on no one has any fucking interest because they botched it so badly are you would you i'm kind of interested in the game of thrones shows oh i am too i too. But everyone's saying they're not interested. But if they're good and like people are saying they're good, the critical, you know, claim is good. People will come back, but it's going to be very hard. But if you heard tomorrow that they were redoing season eight of Game of Thrones, would you be excited?

Yeah. Yeah, me too. Yeah. And I can't ask that for the Star Wars question for the obvious reasons, because you're like, no, I love them. I love them. Yeah, I would feel so weird if they said they were redoing Star Wars. But I did get the idea while you were answering that question. Maybe one day we should remap out the sequels and prequels of Star Wars, like in a different way, like what they could have done, like something like that. That could be fun for the podcast, for a blog, something like that. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. And also going back to that question from before about in between star Wars movies and stuff, I could just use a thing. We're just,

we get to connect the dots a little more about how R2 D2 and C3PO always ended up where they did. Cause that kind of just takes you through it. But there is, I guess, some part of you that like their journey being completely like, cause they're like the one thing that keeps the timeline together basically it'll be funny just be like oh they just appeared out of nowhere and this is where we are again so they rumored to appear in kenobi as of this week so fingers crossed we might get a little bit of your boy r2 the next question comes from matt landmesser he says who do you want to be the first confirmed mutant in the MCU?

That's a loaded question right there. You know what? I'm not even hoping for like a professor, like a big time one, Professor X, Magneto. I think that would be the obvious way to go, but I'd almost like to be someone who's a little less like i don't know if the word's well known but prestigious i guess so it'd be like in like the back like i'm i'm all for in the background of one of the future movies where you see like a little baby that's you know they're in sokovia or something and there's this little baby made a middle and it's little baby colossus right there and colossus has kind of become bigger than i feel like he was back in the day because him and Deadpool. Deadpool, yeah.

Yeah. So, but I'd be fine if it wasn't, you know, Wolverine, Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey kind of a thing. But if they kind of started small with, you know, a tier two, three, four character, and then we are like, oh, the mutants are coming kind of a thing. I think I'd like to see someone like beast like let us let us meet and it's tough because we all know his name's hank but let us meet like some character named henry or something and let us not realize that it's him and then one day like he does something wrong in the lab and bam the mutation happens i don't know i don't know how you'd introduce him but i've always been a beast fan so i like that in general though like you said

like you know even if it's like uh with iceman and bobby you're just calling it i mean no one's thinking bobby drake and whatever so i i would kind of like a very slow even if it's just it all happens in the episode or in the background of a movie or something like that and they're just like oh shit that would be fucking i hope and again in five you we trust i just hope whatever they do with this like i i hope that that there's an entire white word just devoted to how they're going to get the x-men there's a million different you know potential things then they're just crossing off and being like we're going to get one that's going to really be a treat for these fans because it's such a it's such a unique um situation situation there and where they get to kind of choose how they're going to be like, it's like a present for us and they get to like, give

it to us. So I hope they do it the right way. I know they're going to do it the right way. I just hope they do it in a unique way instead of just like, you know, a typical way. Yeah. I'm with you. This next one's for me. Sorry.

It's a selfish answer, but it's from Murph. He says, do they do Flight of the Valkyries or Final Countdown as Danielson's AEW theme? I think it has to be Final Countdown. Tony Khan, please shell out the licensing money for that song. Clem, if you're not aware, I assume you're not. Daniel Bryan would come out to in the WWE, like Flight of the Valkyries, like that general. On the indies, he would come out to the final countdown. A very awesome entrance that would have the fans like banging on the barricade like people were so into it. And AEW has been shelling out a lot of money for real songs as wrestling thieves again, which is amazing.

So I really hope they shell out the money for final countdown that would be amazing be honest bob tell the truth tell the truth i'm gonna go my will smith on you right here did you write that dog that that question and you asked if as if it was from murph your dog be honest bob did you just want to answer that on the podcast there because i know it's a real murph. All right. So, so we're, so we're hoping for flight of the Valkyries. Is that what you said? No,

we're hoping for final countdown. Hoping for final countdown. Okay. Cause the whole crowd would shout. It's the final countdown. It'd be amazing. I'm going to hold for that for you then as someone that won't even see it happen live.

But if I see that on the timeline and you're like, Oh my God, they're playing final countdown. I'm rooting for you. I'll pick the other one just as you know if so i'll one of us will be right but i'm hoping i'm rooting for you the quick little story when i was at disney this is before kids uh went down with uh two couples that were really good friends with the six of us we went to thunder mountain and honestly not even drunk just you know young kids we had like life in us still this is back before kids crushed our collective souls we have seven or six and a half

we have another kid on the way um one of one of the couples so before we like got our our like souls crushed we went on to Thunder Mountain and we were just going ah thunder and we just were doing that we're just having fun just a couple you know again just just six kids having fun in disney not being crazy and what happens the line the entire line just starts chanting thunder good and so we go on that we go on thunder mountain the roller coaster we come back and we're like all right let's go do that one more time that was fun we get back as we after we had left we come back the entire fucking line of or the cue whatever you want to call it is singing thunderstruck and they're doing the thunder and the lights are

going on and off when the you say thunder and i couldn't believe it i'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it was the most fun it was like for an hour straight thunderstruck was just being sung by the people waiting in line so it was just one of those weird things so to hear that for dang o'brien with final countdown you know with a bunch of crazy wrestling fans must be an awesome experience absolutely i'll send you a video of him at like ring of honor that'll put chills on your arms it's pretty awesome awesome next question an awesome one from dominic he says if you could pick any variant to see in the future of the mcu who would it be example tom cruise is iron man john krasinski is captain america etc etc i have an immediate

answer because i saw this before and i admittedly thought about it a little before we went live i would love to see mark ruffalo's smart hulk interact with a real lufarigno variant of the hulk that would be cool that would be cool i mean obviously we're discounting loki gator because we're we're hoping it's coming back asap hmm give me uh wow wow i'm looking at my funko pops and i'm just merging people together give me bruce willis as thanos john mclean my favorite hero of all time with thanos either my first or second, depending on Hans Gruber, I didn't give him a moment, villain of all time, merge them together

and just give me John McClane as Thanos, which, whoa, just blew my fucking brain. Imagine him appearing out of a portal. Welcome to the party, pal. I'm looking at my Alex Trebek one. Can you imagine if Trebek was in the MCU, man? I wish Trebek was in the MCU. That would have been awesome. Would have been amazing. Damn. Next question from James Ryan

Goldberg. He says, you are writing a Marvel versus DC movie without using any comic books for help. How do you connect the two universes and what's the plot line? So in the comics, Clem, they actually did a Marvel versus DC storyline. I got this explained to me recently where I think a villain or someone that was like above it all brainwashed both sides, Marvel and DC, and sent them to each other's universe. And they put them on a task to gather like that universe's greatest gem so in the dc world it was all the marvel heroes trying to collect the mother box the green lanterns ring etc etc in the marvel world it's all the dc heroes trying to collect the infinity stones the gauntlet all of that they eventually get it all dark side puts the infinity gauntlet on he snaps and it doesn't work because we find out that the gauntlet the stones only work in the universe where they come from

something like that i mean that kind of happened to loki right like it was a different thing so i the stones were in the draw same concept if i were writing this i would have spider-man discover the multiverse in some way which i guess he's kind of going to do in No Way Home. And he's going to fall through it, like, by accident. And the New York multiverse is going to be layered right on top of Gotham City as Batman is stopping a break-in. And he's going to see Spider-Man and his entire spider gimmick think it's this new villain in Gotham City. And he's's gonna beat the bloody pulp out of spider-man and then just as that happens aunt may comes to check on peter in

his room she sees oh my god through a portal peter's a bloody mess she knows that he's spider-man already or something so she pulls him up and then batman has just ignited a war that he doesn't know that he did and he goes tells tony stark and now boom hero's got a clash that the way you just explained that is probably the most gruesome and that's saying something way that anyone has ever came themselves because i guarantee you were calming yourself as you were thinking no i love spider-man i don't want to i don't want want to see Batman beat the shit out of him. How about this? How about we have Spider-Man and Batman meet, except it's just Uncle Ben and the Waynes

both getting killed at the same time. Basically, because they die every fucking three years anyway. You could even have Deathstroke or someone that uses a gun from that universe be the one that shoots Uncle Ben. Joker kills Uncle Ben. Joker kills Uncle Ben. You could have know someone that uses a gun from that universe be the one that shoots uncle ben oh joker kills

uncle ben joker kills uncle ben oh you could have green god like who would who would kill uncle who would kill the wains in this scenario who's like the trade-off which spider-man the punisher there we go boom perfect okay that could work i'm gonna go a completely different route and it's i think we're both clearly you're going with you know two of your go-tos, right? With Spider-Man and Batman. I'm going with my go-tos. And I mean, I don't really have much of a go-to in DC, but I'm just going to go just give me the two James Gunn franchises. The fucking guardians are out there. Suicide squads doing their thing.

They somehow end up in space. They cross. We're talking universes, multiverses. I don't know how it's happening. It's going be entertaining it's going to be funny and the guardians are crossing paths with the suicide squad and it's just going to be a delightful romp the entire time so that's how i'm going to go and get those two universes and then from there and then at some point obviously the x-men come in so that's all i'm asking of course yeah yeah yeah at the end the post-credit scene you get the you introduce the introduce the X-Men. Credit to us not bringing up Mephisto one time in that entire scenario. I mean, you know what though? I thought about when we did the, what variant would you want to see in the Marvel universe?

I thought about saying Joe Pesci as Mephisto. Moynihan Loki. Moynihan Loki. Moynihan Loki. That's a perfect one. Before we do our final question, I've got to tell everyone about HelloFresh. I have been cooking HelloFresh each and every week, week in and week out. I get some of the HelloFresh things that say Hall of Fame recipe on them.

They actually have a little tag that said like this one is a Hall of Famer. I think I got like a Italian sausage and chicken over spaghetti. That was recently a Hall of Famer this week. I just got a cheesy chicken with a side of mushroom because i got the cheesy chicken before and it was so good yeah i went right back to it hello fresh is honestly like my favorite thing going right now i get excited when the package arrives put all the ingredients in the fridge they sent even like they send a little special things they sent us a cheesecake this week which we weren't expecting so it's like you get a little special things. They sent us a cheesecake this week, which we weren't expecting.

So it's like you get a little surprise. And they cut out the stressful meal planning, the trips to the grocery store. It's 28% cheaper than shopping at your local grocery store, 72% cheaper than a restaurant meal without sacrificing the quality. If you go to HelloFresh.com slash 14 Robbie and use the promo code 14 Robbie, you'll get up to 14 free meals plus free shipping. That's the promo code that I use. That's the one that I'm using every week. I just put in my meals for next week. If you get this, don't forget, you got to put in your meals every week because I actually forgot and they just sent me two random meals. Thankfully, HelloFresh is so good. We made

both the random meals, loved both of them it was like a i think a shrimp spaghetti and a meatloaf with the meatloaf had a sauce on it that made it taste like it was almost just eating a big meatball it was like an italian tomato based sauce it was amazing i couldn't recommend hello fresh anymore clem also got hello fresh he's also a guy that swears by it so go get your HelloFresh we're dying right now I don't know if you guys heard heard and at all during the episode but we have some construction going upstairs the kitchen's being renovated so we're gonna have like the one thing when we moved in the house like we're gonna do the kitchen at some point eight years later

like crap we better do the kitchen now we've been stuck inside in the pandemic this whole time and we finally got it done and I am just dying to get cooking in my kitchen and this is the god's honest truth you guys know i don't lie to you we are getting hello fresh as soon as the kitchen's going to be ready we get the countertops on because we have all new appliances all new counter we have so much more room now and like i said it's great for us as parents because we don't have time to just go out to the grocery store we have the kids with us they're pissed off they're screaming the whole time young professionals like like my guy, Bob, you're working, you're grinding, you're putting YouTube videos together. They get you, they save you this trip to the trip to the grocery store. They make it

cheaper than going out to eat. And the best part is, is what I love. You don't have to search around the grocery store for like, you know, uh, scallions or something like that, or the, uh, shallots. I have to get shallots for like my, uh, my chili recipe and I can never find them. And then if you get them, they have like too much, you have like, you know, just shallots. I have to get shallots for like my, my chili recipe and I can never find them. And then if you get them, they have like too much, you have like, you know, just shallots, just sitting in your refrigerator for like a year. They give you exactly what you need. Nothing. You don't, it's the absolute perfect way to do it. So I'm dying to try the HelloFresh because again, the wife and I, the kids are slowly driving us crazy, but it's like a nice little project to do. I guess if you're by yourself or if you have like someone else, it's like, oh yeah, that's right.

We do love each other. It's just, we forgot that we could actually like talk together because the kids have been driving us nuts. The Clem kitchen is going to be a hello fresh factory. Once it's all done. I love it. Our final question of the episode comes from one of our guys, Jake Bass. He says, what is the one action figure or toy that you always wanted growing up but never got?

Mine was SS4. Maybe I should say the Super Saiyan. Maybe Super Saiyan 4. I wasn't a Dragon Ball Z guy, so I don't know that. Gogeta action figure. I probably said that wrong. Two people are going to get it. You nerd.

You fool from Dragon Ball GT. I have an answer that came to mind right away. And it's when he says like the one you always wanted growing up, but never got. It's interesting. I never got this, but I also never really asked my parents for this because I felt like it would be a ridiculous ask. It was the Lego Death Star. That was the biggest, like craziest set. And i was so into legos for so long but i was never like putting the lego death star on my birthday list or my christmas list because i was like there's just no way it's a quote family guy there was just no way um i don't want to say i was spoiled growing up but like i usually get the action figures i would

want that's the thing he man was so goddamn big in my life i had like a hundred of those he man figures uh my mom actually in this we have now we started this with aj my mom would buy um the ninja turtles because ninja turtles were the hottest thing in the streets back when i was growing up and if i would just like take a nap she would just give me a ninja turtle which is like we don't do that with goes potty, he gets himself like a little like matchbox car because he's obsessed with cars. But it is good to like bribe your kids out of your stuff if you need them to do something. And potty training is the big thing for us with him.

So I never really like, I never really like had a figure that I could never get, but it was the, the villain base. I guess it was the Skeletor base from He-Man. And it had like the little microphone. It was like purple or whatever. I always had Castle Grayskull going up, but I don't know if I ever really asked for it. I might've asked for it and they're like,

oh yeah, maybe like ask for Christmas. And I probably just didn't do it. But I would go, I remember going to other people's houses and they had it. And I was like, that's the coolest thing ever. And they'd set up booby traps in the lair, Skeletors lair whatever it was so that's probably the one thing that like if you said like that was the one thing i missed growing up i definitely missed it and i also while we're talking action figures i want to say so i was when i was talking about uh x-men coming

back i think you would you had said something about someone potentially bringing back x-men right and i was saying they got to bring back the animated series uh cartoon that's what it was you were saying they should bring it back as a cartoon and i said let's just bring back the theme song and someone's like the x-men toys is what did it for me and the x-men toys i'll say pound for pound were the greatest toys you know growing up i think those were the most detailed coolest looking toys and looking back now that's a huge reason that and the cards which super producer vc always mentions those are the most detailed, coolest looking toys. And looking back now, that's a huge reason that in the cards, which Super Producer BC always mentions, those are the two things that really got me into X-Men outside of the cartoon and the comic books, which is crazy to say looking back, because I don't know how big all that stuff is for kids now, especially the cards. the x-men cartoon on disney plus like super into it loves the sentinels loves like all of that stuff the the entire dark phoenix saga like he is gonna grow up thinking like no i swear by the cartoon we started going on ebay and getting him the 90s uh x-men action figures because we were

like those were the best action figures have to get him those so he has the like almost the complete set of the 90s x-men action figures like the true good ones the gambit with like the vinyl uh jacket on the vinyl coat that comes on and you know the ice man that has the like slide of ice and all of that stuff so we were like we got to do it right god damn it i'm gonna go on ebay once this is done and i'm gonna go spend a lot of money on old X-Men figures. As I'm spending, you know, thousands upon thousands on a renovated kitchen. And I went online and I bought during the pandemic, I bought an old Hulk rules Hulk Hogan action figure because that was my go to back in the day.

Everyone that was speaking action figures. You go to the school. Someone would have the ring and then everyone bring in their figures and you just like clash them at the lunch table which was probably blue ring was it the blue wwf yeah yes so uh and i the whole kogan and i hated it as a kid because he like his arms lift up and he wasn't really like it wasn't a fun uh these guys yeah exactly he just did the little like body slam body press more than anything and i never liked it growing up because i was a hulk guy and i always wanted him to have a different action, but now it's like, that is childhood. So I got that in the mail.

I was like, Oh, nostalgia. So I'm going to go on. I'm going to go by. I always remember the archangel figure was fucking dope. He like, he had the silver wings. He had little missiles. He could shoot out. Obviously got to get my guy Wolverine.

I have to like as much, I. This is a, okay. This was, this was a separate question. Do we have time for another one more like what is one character you hope they nail more than any other character with the x-men got my answer came to mind immediately it's a character that is my favorite x-men people trash on them all the time it's cyclops people say he's a pussy people say he's a simp for gene gray i want them to make cyclops badass so that was that's my answer too and it's i think it's it's a big internet thing now is a lot of people are asking for the cyclops and i wanted to see if you said the same thing because i feel like it's been a very common thing is cyclops they need to nail

cyclops in the new one i have no doubt in my mind they will um and again i like the actor who played him in the x-men i just didn't like the way they did the character the cartoon he's fucking jacked but he wolverine does kind of just pitch him all the time and like take his girl but i hope they nail cyclops the guy's the leader of the fucking x-men right so yeah i do hope that they they absolutely crush it so i'm with you but i was just thinking like even that's like a cool-ass action figure growing up was the cyclops the coolest that coolest. That's why he was my favorite. Cause he's got the visor and he clicks it. The shit comes out of it. Like for a kid. Oh my God. Cyclops was so bad-ass. And then I grow up to learn that I'm a nerd for liking them. What the hell internet?

What the hell is a simp? Like that's what I would have been saying. Yeah. All right. This has been a great episode. Clem, thank you for joining me next week. Come back. We may be with large if we can fit it in in the next week. It'd be fun to do a Masters of the Universe show. This week was just news mailbag. I hope you enjoyed it. And in a few weeks, we'll be back with what if.
