If you can't, if you're like climb, I've never been to YouTube. I don't even know what the fuck you guys are talking about. You're living under living in another multiverse. Basically go rate five stars on the, on the iTunes or spot, whatever your,

your things are. We need to get those, those reviews refreshed a little bit here so we can keep the lights on in the basement, right? Absolutely, absolutely. So we got episodes one and two of Hawkeye. We're going to break him down this week. We had Jose Young's on earlier, so if you missed that, if you are interested in the comic book that this is based on,

I would say that's an evergreen podcast that you could listen to even halfway through the season and maybe pick up on things where you're like, Oh, that's what they must've based that on. And already we saw a lot of the stuff that he said come to fruition here. Like the tracksuit mafia, the bros, the pizza dog. Like there's a lot of stuff that they clearly took from the run that Jose told us about. So go check that out because we've gotten a lot of good feedback on that as well.

So shout out Jose. So Jose is permanently in the Rick Dalton phase where he points at his screen, the Leo DiCaprio meme every single time because I was doing it. And I don't know one one hundredth just based on like the 10 nuggets he dropped on this last episode. And I'm like, this is really as long as like we have an idea of what each show or movie, what arc they're going to follow, Jose is like the perfect encyclopedia because we knew, like I didn't really know what to go, like expect going in.

And every single time, like I felt like it wasn't too much for me to take in all at once, which is a good feeling because you never know with the MCU. So I actually wish we had him on for Falcon and Winter Soldier going in. Yeah. That was a little too much for me. He might have done a better job kind of preparing us for it. So definitely check out that episode if you haven't yet. And then the Eternals before you watch Eternals or again,

after you watch Eternals, because all this shit is going to be intertwined in some way with, I think this will probably be more of, like we said, Daredevil, maybe the Falcon Winter Soldier, I guess, will probably be more of, like we said, Daredevil, maybe the Falcon Winter Soldier, or I guess Captain America side of things, but like, you're gonna have Eternals, it's probably gonna touch a little bit of, you know, Doctor Strange, which gets into Spider-Man,

this shit is all, and then we got our, whatever the next Endgame is, and that motherfucker Kang is in everything, it's all gonna come together in one big ol' quilt, so we're in the basement, we're excited, we're fired up, like you said thanksgiving has has ended at this point in we're time traveling thanksgiving has ended yeah and we're going straight through we're gonna have this we're gonna have book of boba fett come uh recaps coming spider-man shit coming so

it's a lot of stuff coming up right now so subscribe leave the reviews all that good kind of stuff we love you guys well hopefully everyone had a good thanksgiving hopefully you're eating your thanksgiving leftovers as you're watching this right now and i wanted to say something that i'm thankful for you know thanksgiving it's all about the peace offering right people coming together i got something special i wore the iron man shirt for this show this is my uh i'm thankful for tony stark saving the universe. You know what Clem? No hostility here. Shit, what do I have on under here?

Big mom shirt. I was like maybe I saw, last episode I think I had my mom mom's basement shirt on underneath so that would have looked like a really big move. This looks like you got purple on like your little Hawkeye guy over there. Shout out to Trigg who drew us as Hawkeye and Kate Bishop here. Trigg the God. Trigg the God did it again. A man guy over there shout out to trig who drew us as a hawkeye and kate bishop here trig the god trig

the god did it again uh a man that size of me should never have a bow or arrow in his hand but i look like i can fucking you know take him down and bob fox has the flow going the man can encompass bob fox's flow perfectly that's how you know he's the god and again all right we're gonna do it here bob black friday sales stored, store.barstoolsports.com, 20% off, like, basically everything in the store. Our guy Trigg, if you're a Trigg fan, and let's be honest, if you're not a Trigg fan, look at these graphics. You better be a fucking Trigg fan.

He has the A through Zs or the ABCs of Barstool. Oh, yeah. It's like a kid's book, and, I mean, this is definitely podfather proof. It is just such a happy goal. You don't have to be a parent, obviously, to have have it but it's just one of those fun little books it has a little quirky like a is for apple blah blah blah it has a little rhyme with each one a plus stuff that is what i'm going to be hawking big time in this hawking on the hawkeye podcast we got my mom's basement stuff we got uh honker stuff we got you, you got team ZD stuff for the dozen.

There's so much stuff. I mean, the Owen, listen, if you liked our Loki recaps, light scammer, barstool might have the best ugly sweater. And it's not even an ugly sweater.

It's a beautiful sweater. The best sweater in the barstool sports store. It's Loki riding a sleigh and his reindeer is alligator. Loki. The design on it is out of this world. They got a ton of good stuff. There's a has Bola ugly sweater. There's great stuff.

So yes, Black Friday right now, if you're listening to this on release day, go now. And of course, we're going to do stuff for Cyber Monday. So tune into the whatever we do. I'm not going to say what it is. We'll tease it. I mean, we know Portnoy is a listener. We know he's a diehard bassist. I think he actually asked to get the podcast first since he owns the damn company.

So Dave, we took care of you right off the bat there so you can't come at me and bob on your twitter thing on monday tuesday whenever the fuck it's coming did you see that today where he tweeted out that thing yeah yeah yeah he tweeted out uh for people that don't know dave tweeted out a thing and he said um i love when employees complain their jobs are too stressful and they work too hard and they talk shit about the entrepreneur who worked their ass off to build the company. And now I want to work one tenth as hard as founder who build company on their own blood, sweat, tears with zero pay. And I was like, someone's getting in trouble right now, maybe even fired. And I'm like, and I'm working my ass off.

Did you see his quote tweet? So then I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm about to lose a friend here, at least here at least maybe multiple it goes by the way this tweet has nothing to do with barstool it's regards to the babies who were quoted in the business insider hatch job against april co i don't know that is and i did the old denzel washington like hand on heart like shit and i was writing a blog after i just written another blog as we were planning out the podcast i'm like yo i am fucking overworked right now in this fucking crazy company of ours so i was like shit but you never know what dave so dave you're listening black friday make sure you tell dave to tweet at him say dave the bars the basement boys have been fucking plugging black friday merch since the day before thanksgiving yeah that's

right let's waste no more time let's get right into hawkeye because as you can see above we got episodes one and two to start things off they were originally going to have crossover with book of boba fett where it was going to be the hawkeye finale and the book of boba fett premiere on the same day and they said let's not do that let's have you know a little space in between two episodes right up front i love that i like getting the double episode because you get more of a taste of what the series is going to be it's not so easy to judge it just based on the one episode i did think episode one was better out of the two which you're usually going to get out of a pilot like that they're going to throw more at the screen they're going to throw more at you and we start things off right off the bat with a tense scene

in 2012 new york when you see an overhead shot of new New York City and they hit that 2012 on screen, you knew immediately like, oh, that's not a good sign. Kate Bishop's parents are fighting at this point. We see Kate Bishop. She's much younger than Haley Steinfeld. She's not 22 yet. The invasion hits. She sees it out the window. And the way they shot this was so cool from the grounded level, like Jose said about Hawkeye, right? It's going to be a grounded show. This was shot from the perspective of a human being that could have witnessed that battle. Hawkeye winds up saving her with an arrow.

It was like a ship was heading towards her window. She's looking out. An arrow blows it up. And then she gets to see a scene from Endgame from her perspective. We kind of see it from her perspective as well. The way they shot it was so cool it might have been the most badass that hawkeye ever looked in his entire life and uh unfortunately her father passes away we could tell right off the bat um and jose even said it she had a very special bond with her father like they were very close

and at her father's funeral she asked her mother for a bow and arrow, which is a badass origin story. Like, the fact that she did it at the funeral, that's some cool shit. Metal? Is that worthy of the Bob Fox? Is that metal? That's metal. That's metal. Batman throwing the gun that killed his parents. Like, not quite that metal, right? But I want to know if it got the M word. So, M word approved by Bob Fox.

And, yeah, very grounded. And, like, you always, especially the. And like, you, like you always, especially the older, even like the older Marvel movies, it's like this bigger than life feeling with these superheroes and these villains, these aliens from outer space. I think you like,

don't think like if you're just Joe Schmo, me and you were recording an episode in like the podcast studios. And then there's fucking the Tachari are coming in and Loki's fucking jet skiing on motherfuckers and shooting stuff out it'll be like what the fuck is going on so it was very i liked how they they brought it back there and i hadn't even like it didn't even cross my mind you know that's now my dream by the way what show can we get into waldron can waldron write it into a show where we're recording an episode when the invasion hits gotta get it done waldron although some people may do the thing that

we'll see clint do in a second and be like they weren't even there in 2012 what the hell we'll get a comic book guide by somebody well actually um i hate to admit this but i my first note of the entire thing was i said kate's dad kind of looked like a 90s villain like he had that hair right he had that like vibe he did look like a villain there's something sus about him the goatee let's call it like the guy has a goatee so he's kind of evil like stuff like that it's uh kind of like evil cartman you have the goatee i'm gonna think you're evil but i all right all right be in peace i don't i i do are we throwing out the possibility he's still alive like he was under the rubble we never found him and they buried like air in that coffin are we throwing that out there now are we just gonna yeah we could throw it out there yeah

all right so i didn't think about it till you just said i will say i stayed up till three in the morning to watch this episode as one and two right off the bat took me zero weeks so i did watch this with a sleepy brain so you're gonna say stuff like that this episode and it's gonna like be like oh shit didn't even think about that i was wondering how the 3 a.m watching plus the 3g what kind of stuff you're gonna throw at me but i'm coming in a little fresher from a different perspective so i kind of like that's what you get in the here in the base you get two guys on different trajectories of life at this point vert i can never say any more vera formiga for media whatever the the woman who played uh tony's mom in the sopranos movie but more importantly i always

call her the departed the shrink from departed that's how i was always known her i didn't realize she was in this she feels almost like above this role like i i think of her as like this like i wouldn't say a-list actress by any means i don't think a lot of people know her name but she's like a fucking star actress i think she's awesome at what she does and i'm like yo the mom either is gonna play a huge like i the mom either is going to play a huge, like, I feel like the mom has to play a huge role just based on the actress. Oh yeah. And she kind of sucks.

Like we'll get into it, but like, what the fuck is her problem? Big time stink. Big time. And then the other thing was, how about our guy Hawkeye? Who like, again, let's be honest here. I think I called him the lamest Avenger. I wasn't even thinking, I was just trying to think of a word to get clicks i put in the blog as the lamest avenger i originally had most boring avenger people took offense to that but how about him

like the first time this girl sees him he has like his coolest moment of basically his entire time in the mcu he's doing the fucking like he said straight out of the movies entire time in the MCU. He's doing the fucking, like you said, straight out of the movies. He's doing the fall down shoot. Absolutely awesome. I almost, I want to go back and again, we're recording this on Wednesday. So we haven't had, I haven't watched like any of the breakdowns of the first couple episodes.

I want to know, did they take any, are there any, like you wouldn't see like Kate Bishop on her, like, like the little fancy porch or whatever she had looking at all this go down but i want to know if they took any of that where if you go back and watch it there is like a similar building in the background that would be a cool yeah i don't know if they went that deep into it

for like fan service but i thought that was cool i don't you know you can never underestimate feige and marvel never underestimate the hat man when it comes to fan service um we meet up with kate bishop modern day so she's 22 years old now she's in college she's with her friends and they they seem to have some kind of bet going on that she can't hit this bell with a bow and arrow and they're saying back and forth they're like is it the dangly thing that rings the bell or is it the the actual bell so she hits the bell with a bow from way far away it's like pretty cool but it doesn't make such a loud noise they're like that was kind of underwhelming she's like all right hold on and she gets this

new bow that kind of wraps around the dangly thing when she shoots it at it makes super loud noise they're like whoa that was awesome and then the bell tower completely breaks the the bell breaks off of it she's caught so it's a funny scene the way it's played because, you know, she's caught and she's like, oh, sorry. The guy's got the flashlight in her eyes. And then in the background, it's just falling and destruction. And then we go over to Hawkeye's family, Clint Barton minus Linda Cardellini. She's not here yet. It's Hawkeye just taking the kids out in New York.

And they are at Rogers the Musical. This is, you know, obviously a Hamilton parody. And you see all the Avengers there. There's a Hulk smash. Captain America's got a line about, I could do this all day. It is so funny. But there's a sad moment where he looks up at the actress playing Natasha. And he can't not kind of fixate on her.

And he turns his hearing aid off. He's got hearing loss, as we knew from the breakdown and from the trailers. And he goes to the bathroom and he sees some graffiti left by a clem i believe i believe that was when clem was at rogers the musical it says thanos was right uh the old heisenberg you got me like what can i say i i saw that and i'm and i do love that there is definitely just like in the world we live in even in the world where half the universe got snapped away there are the people who were like thanos was like this and i will say like in the world we live in now with all the different

like conspiracy theories it does feel like i would be looked at as like an anti-vaxxer i probably wouldn't actually say thanos is right out loud as people lost their like family members and closest friends to the snap but uh in this world where that didn't happen good work yeah shout out to multiverse Clem for fucking you know throwing it on a on a urinal I've never done actually I've done one graffiti in my life I wrote I wrote like ass or something on like a sidewalk when I was young you know yeah a little rebellious stage so yeah exactly that's it was it might have been dick actually I think I wrote dick dick or ass one or the other and not like a five star GTA wanted curse word but like a three star you know lets you know that whoever wrote that is a little edgy how about Kate Bishop like when I was in

college the cool tricks our friends would do like we had a friend who would do like dick tricks he'd do like the bird bath or he'd do like the bulldog or he'd make it look like a bulldog and the most fucked up thing shout out my guy boner i don't know if you listen to this man he's a barstool fan he used to fucking do the bookmark he put his dick in the book and just slam it shut and that was what like idiot guys would do to impress their friends in college. Kate Bishop is doing a fucking bow and arrow, shooting an arrow a hundred yards and threading the needle needles and then making a bell ring. What a fucking move that was. But the Rogers play was,

I didn't think it was going to be that in depth. I loved it. Ant-Man that's stolen valor. Like we love the troops. We respect the troops. I think if you're a superhero that like saves the world, that is a valor like we love the troops we respect the troops i think if you're a superhero that like saves the world that is a valor thing as well and if he's being lumped into saving new york stolen valor that's fucking problem scott wang it's up to him to tell people he was not

in new york on that fateful day in 2012 and if he was he sure as shit wasn't fighting against uh loki and thanos's minions so what do they call it creative liberties like nope sorry yeah i saw american idiot on broadway guess what they had some songs from 21st century breakdown on that show so you know what um you know what too ant-man definitely like if you're thinking of this now in like the uh in that universe ant-man is probably one of the guys who definitely after um the battle in Endgame and even I guess Civil War that guy just resonates and I know like in this they don't want to take a picture with him with the Hulk in Endgame and all that stuff but when you turn giant that is something that just

sticks in little kids brains so like I'm telling you Ant-Man action figures are flying off the shelves they have to be if they're throwing him in that way they have to be so uh we need a real life just like we need a medieval times with disney characters i need disney downtown disney to do a real life rogers the musical at downtown yes you're gonna get me and bob fox to go we're gonna love it we're gonna give it five stars or whatever we'll compare it to the greatest fast food that's ever been created that's how we review around here um but i need to see rogers the musical now i have to i need to lin manuel miranda get on it. Get on.

I know he's a Marvel fan. I know he's a nerd. Um, Kate returns home for the holidays. Um, her mom obviously isn't happy about the bell tower. She's like, I'm going to take all your credit cards away. All this. The mom mentions that Kate got her black belt at 15. She's like, oh yeah.

I remember that early tournament. We learned right off the jump, like, all right, this is someone accomplished in martial arts. She's good with a bow. They're kind of padding up her resume for us so we know what we're dealing with here and kate's confused at all the swords she's like what's up with all the swords in this apartment like that's kind of strange and then you meet the boyfriend who turns out not to be the boyfriend turns out to be the fiance who we don't we don't know that yet i I think his name was Jack. Was that it, Jack? Jack, yep. And he seemed sus right from the jump. That was my first note, and I was writing this as it was going along.

So I didn't see anything other than the first meeting, and I wrote he seemed sus. Jack checks all the boxes of the sus list. He has that kind of creepy mustache. He has the gray streak in his hair. And he's a fucking sword guy. Like, come on. he's the sudden like stepdad too you add that to the list it's almost like a disney um you know set up there with the gray streak like cruella or whatever like the stepdad and i i wrote in my notes right here right next to it all stepdads in movies or fiction are either

awesome or awful there's no in between so jack like right now he looks like he's going to be awful i guess there's a chance he can be awesome but by this like you don't like dabble in awful and then you're like he's awesome it's like the guy is like so wholesome and you're like please don't leave this guy for your like old husband or you know whatever it's like they either suck or they're great. And there's no way Jack is going to be great. So sus as a motherfucker. So sus. We go back to the Hawkeye family minus mom. They're out to dinner.

Hawkeye is determined to make this the best Christmas the family's ever had. He's like, this is going to be the best. We'll do what you want to do. We'll do what you want to do. We'll do what you want to do. We get to see the dinner's free for an Avenger, which we kind of talked about when we were doing falcon and winter soldier breakdowns like we were like i guess they don't get paid but do they have to pay for anything like if you see an avenger come into your restaurant you're not going to charge them they save the world so we actually got to see that like it's the little interactions like that

that i love from the disney shows because we probably wouldn't have time for that in a movie but it's the disney show where you get to flesh all of that out um and then at kate on kate's end we kind of go back and forth this whole episode she's at a charity event and uh she has an old man come up to her armand come to her kind of be a creep right away and he tells her why don't you dress more ladylike um at your mom's wedding she's like my mom's wedding what are you talking about first of all dress more lady like he can't be saying that in 2021 and second of all if you want better clothes bare bottom is on a mission to make the most comfortable made to last menswear around while giving back to communities where their clothing is made comfy season is here

stock your closet with comfort without paying the insane markups that you see at other online big box brands i love bare bottom i love the sweatpants and then the joggers and the hoodies from there. So get your boyfriend or husband or brother or dad bare bottom. If you're a lady and if you're a guy, get yourself some treat yourself, right? Treat yourself. That's one of the best parks and rec episodes. Everything is built for value. You're getting the softest and stretchiest clothes in the game for a great deal. And you're doing some good in the process for a limited time bare bottom is giving you an incredibly soft tech tea or

natural dye tea for free when you spend 150 i love these t-shirts these are like perfect sleep shirts perfect shirts that you could go out in shirts that you could wear on an airplane because they're so soft they're super versatile they're awesome their black friday sale has already started it's their biggest yet you can get up to 25 off site wide by going to barebottomclothing.com go to barebottomclothing.com right now 25 off site wide armand total creep total creep uh my my note is armand is a dick that's where i started then we have sus sus as it turns out not as. You don't have to worry about him, Sus-wise, as I thought I was going to have to. I'm going to put it out there right now.

That guy, Armand, has definitely funded a Squid Game. At least one has at least attended one and is funding multiple Squid Games. That guy is a creep. That's a good call. This is going to be problematic for as a parent, as a host of Podfathers, as just a human being.

We have to kill Armand Seven right now. That kid is a problem too. Anyone named Armand in general I think is a problem. And God, I hope we don't have a listener named Armand because they're going to – but you're just – you are a suspect. Did you watch The White Lotus? I did not. There's a guy named Armand on that, and he was a problem, an absolute problem. Well, all right. So if there's any Armand

listeners prove me wrong right now but he like they're all these it's like an oh a waspy kind of like just sus motherfucker I do not trust him in the least I hate him I actually hate him uh Hawkeye the never buying a meal I was like I don't know if he said this but do they you should get an Avenger card and it's like yeah you just put it on the table if it's not like a pba card yeah exactly and hey maybe there's a chance that like they don't recognize you or but it's like no it's like everybody everyone knows what an avenger card is it's a pba is the perfect way to put it bob i love that and speaking of which uh the whole i i cannot i can i'm trying to figure out which actual kid or if it's the mom that wanted mayo on their hot dog. Because the fact that the mayo on the hot dog –

I think it's the youngest kid. He said, how about mayonnaise? Yeah. Does he think that's acceptable or does he eat it or is he just an idiot little kid? Because I'm looking at the little kid. I'm like, do you – because like him and Armando – Are you a future super villain? Yeah.

Him and Armando are the same fucking sus people in my mind right now. Cause if you eat mayo on your hot dog, you're such a suck. And listen, if anyone who listens eats mayo on their hot dog, I ain't apologizing. If your name is Armand, I'll rebuke your ass.

You better watch out. But I, and the other thing, I don't know how much, how many people picked up on this. I love, love the way Jeremy Renner says, mama,

it reminds me of everygame every single time. He's like, hey, Mama. He says it like three times in this episode. And it takes me right back to being in the theater of Endgame, which is like my happy place. So, yeah, very excited about that. And, I mean, you probably did Rockefeller Center with the family growing up a lot, right, and stuff like that. They did a good job. It's very grounded.

I can almost like smell. We used to always hit Carmine's up. They used to have the great meatballs. It's one of those Times Square-y restaurants. We used to always hit Carmine's up. They used to have the great meatballs. It's one of those Times Square-y restaurants that it's like an Italian place that's good. You hit all the places. It smelled like the fresh nuts, the hot nuts on the corner. Oh, Bob, the nuts. Nuts for nuts.

Those goddamn things were so good. So good. So anyone who's ever done it, I mean, I feel like Trent would do that back in the day from time to time, probably with his family flying in from Iowa. So that just took me way back to family stuff. And I will say, as someone that would have watched this show before kids, I've been like, oh, that's so nice. The dad and the kids and it's just him. As someone who has kids now, I'm like, how the fuck is he going to survive?

Forget the tracksuit mafia and all this kind of stuff. I don't know how he survived just his own family flesh and blood that he loves. Well, yeah, later on, he just got his kids out of there he's like all right you know what this was gonna be a good christmas i'll see you at christmas later i'll be home for christmas like relatable um kate confronts her mom about the engagement she's obviously not happy about it and the mom is like just be happy for me can one part of you be happy for me and it's like you're the mom why don't you tell your daughter who had her father die in a horrible horrific accident that you're getting engaged horrible horrible uh parenting if in my opinion he's on the c-word watch with me right now oh wow she's on the c-word watch like again

i'm not gonna say it i'm not gonna say she's even close to it but it's like it's a watch it's not no we are on the watch yeah i'm with you i'm standing on watch with you me i'll take it i'll take the night shift um pete steps outside and she meets this one-eyed dog who we could assume is pizza dog that's what jose was calling pizza dog so uh pizza dog love it from the second i met it literally i took one look at it with its one little eye and i was like all right i love it um and then she walks back in she sees that creepy old guy arm Armand, yelling at her mom, which is like, what the hell? And they're in there. And he's like, I have powerful friends.

I know what I saw. Very, very strange. You're like, what's going on here? So we got a little bit of a mystery, a little bit of spy vibes in this show. And she then follows Armand into this secret society auction thing in a wine cellar in the basement of where this charity event is going down armand tells the fiance things are about to get very ugly and refer we could assume referring to kate's mom kate gets caught by she's pretending to be a waitress she gets caught kind of squid game-esque and ronan's sword goes up for auction right as she's caught so that's kind of cool

thing i didn't know how we were going to get that introduction i didn't know how the suit or the sword were going to be introduced but when they said this is the sword of ronin i was like oh shit again you bring up anything from endgame and i get chills i'm like oh shit endgame all right cool um and armand wins it after bidding back and forth with the fiancee of kate's mom and then the suit goes up for auction and as soon as the suit goes up russians blow through the as the suit goes up, Russians blow through the wall. They're looking for a watch. They said, look for the watch. That's all we care about.

Whatever. Jack steals the sword. The fiance's like, fucking, I'll take this. Puts it in his blazer or whatever. And then Kate steals the Ronin suit. She puts the Ronin suit on. She starts fucking people up, showing off that martial arts background. Huge action sequence in here.

The first big action sequence of Hawkeye. That was really cool. She escapes. She sees she sees the dog like actually taking down a criminal the dog's already helping out and she saves it by being hit by a car let me tell you what the dog running out to new york city traffic one of the most tense anxiety inducing scenes in the history of the mcu i i knew that dog was going to survive but still just seeing that that, I was like, I was like watching Frogger in real life. We fell in love with pizza dog right away. I yelled pizza dog. I yelled pizza dog just by myself during,

like, I'm just watching it all by my lonesome and I yelled pizza dog just because Jose and I have to look to see the, cause he is like missing an eye, right? He's missing his one eye. He's missing his left eye. Okay.

Yeah. Missing his left eye. Okay. Yeah. Missing his left eye. Ah, damn it. The pirate dog, the barstool pirate dog is missing the right eye. I think we might have to make some merch for Pizza Dog. Still an opportunity. It's something, right? I mean, it's pizza.

Dave loves pizza. Exactly. Yeah. Maybe we got to talk to Dave about it. You know what Dave loves? The Marvel shows. He's a big basement listener. Maybe we have the first ever My Mom's Bas dave portnoy collab yes um i loved that she when

she was trying to pass off she was the waitress when kate was trying to do that and she's like oh i know gary and then gary comes down such a gary move to just completely trying to blow my spot i'm gary and then he still gets bamboozled by the kid fucking Gary Just Gary being Gary They called it or at least in the close Captions they said it they called it the Ronin like this is the suit of the Ronin Yeah the Ronin sounds even more Badass big time

Chekhov's Ronin sword Right like that thing's coming back Big time also did you Get this at all when they were breaking through the wall I got die hard with a vengeance vibes oh yeah when they're breaking through the federal reserve you know i kind of thought of black panther when okay killmonger bust through to get andy circus out of the prison yep i could i could feel that too and then um i like just straight up forgot that like kate's a badass who's been, has a black belt at 15.

And I like as someone that knew nothing about her going into this, I like her whole story. And it's like, it doesn't feel forced. She doesn't have superpowers, but it doesn't feel forced that she's like super badass and can like fight all these different people. I hope people aren't jumping on the,

the Mary Sue train with her and calling her like a Mary Sue, like they did with Ray where they're like, Oh, she's just like perfect at everything. She doesn't have anything to learn because I don't think that's the case. And I'm glad that we're not going like full origin with it. I like that. We're just jumping into this story with an already bad-ass Kate Bishop.

Yeah, no, I'm with you on that. I also would have liked it. I, what else do you think they were, they were selling in that auction? Like,

I feel like a widow was going to be, I feel like one of those human trafficked widows i was waiting to see like you know another marvel artifact they sold a skull there was like some kind of ancient skull and i was like is there gonna be something from one of the movies that we recognize because that could have been cool but it could have been like a little bit too much fan service where you're like all right how did the ronin suit and something else from the mcu wind up in this one auction house yeah exactly it's just the fucking feige's like fucking house but i i i don't know if it's just because the first like i feel like that's a good way to go first episode as you're introducing all stuff just give the fans a bunch of shit that they like from you know movies they've seen before and then you might cut back on it when you're

actually telling your story but like making sense to like the way that she put the suit on and it led to the introduction of her and clint like that all kind of flowed and made sense and i assume this isn't how they met in the comic i i'm just guessing because it felt very endgame specific you know like very specific to the MCU timeframe. Clint goes back home and sees Ronan on the news as I was referring to, and he flashes back to end game. And we get to see that actual scene where he's kind of like, oh shit, I did some fucked up stuff when my family wasn't around.

That was, you know, in the words of loud Sean, that was a dark time for him. It was a dark night. That's getting like an old tweet or like a Facebook post from the past. And you're just like, oh God, except you like killed you know hundreds of people granted they're bad people right yeah nonetheless gang members and whatever but he just kind of took it upon

himself to be like the policeman for gangs and he flashes back to it and he immediately is like all right i gotta go fucking find whoever's wearing my suit kate brings the pizza dog back home she gives it pizza i assume that's where the pizza dog name comes from and everything she goes to spy on jack she finds armand dead looks like he was killed with a sword as well she sees a butterscotch in there monogram butterscotch remember that for later that'll come into play later and then she runs out and she's cornered by russians and you could kind of see where this is going she starts getting her ass kicked she's kind of holding her own but she is eventually like overwhelmed she gets into a car and then you see someone come and save the day it is hawkeye himself clint barton he unmasked kate

he's like going to hit her basically and then he's like oh come on you're a kid and she's like oh my god you're hawkeye like imagine that like it would be like mark hamill coming and unmas like, oh my God, you're Hawkeye. Like, imagine that. Like, it would be like Mark Hamill coming in on Mask of May. Oh my God, you're Luke Skywalker. And that is how episode one ends. I thought episode one was a delight. Just a fantastic episode. The score and the Christmas vibes in it made it so much better. Like, enhanced the show two notches for me.

There was Home Alone vibes in the score. Kind of, you could see they were inspired by that John williams classic so i really really enjoyed episode one i did too i my brain i don't know if you're in the same mode as me but since we're watching this right before thanksgiving and or people are gonna you know watch it around thanksgiving weekend i keep thinking it's thanksgiving weekend for them too but it's five days before christmas which they do keep repeating i think to like hammer home this is a big deal and i'm sure like hawkeye's on a time crunch to get back to his yes exactly they're gonna bring that up a lot it's gonna be like mrs mcallis are trying to get back to kevin i think we're gonna have a lot of homeowner references because i fucking love that

definitely and kind of like the uh star wars holiday special the uh plot line of that is chewbacca trying to get home in time for life day so I don't know if there's any holiday special fans at MCU but I'm one of them I loved and again the Russian mobster saying bro uh and we knew that was coming from Jose and it lived up that was very funny they call everyone bro hey bro hey bro and he tweeted me a panel today of them all saying that and it looked exactly like them all standing outside Kay Bishop's apartment, which we'll get to an episode too. Really? And yeah, I don't know.

I'm just, I, I, I'm pretty happy with it. For episode one, I was happy with, like you said, the,

the Christmas vibes and just the overall, like a good show, like a very well done show. It looks nice. It, it, it has some humor in it. And I feel like I'm back.

I felt very likable right off the bat. Reminds me of almost like Simu Liu is Shang Chi, like right off the bat. I was like, all right, this character is very MCU, very welcome into this universe. Like I'm very down with it.

I've been a fan of her since true grit. She's awesome. And true grit as like a child, like literally, I think she's like nine years old in that movie. And she got an Oscar nomination. Oh Jesus. Yeah. I don't know. I don Jesus. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know anyone. I don't know anything about her. But based on what other people are saying, they're like, oh, like, awesome. This is going to be a hit. So she posted like a nice Instagram to fans of the MCU. I'm so honored and thrilled to be part of your universe. Like nice little ode to the fans. She knows what she's doing as far as that kind of fan service goes.

Before we get into uh episode two i just want to throw two uh word from one of our sponsors liquid death ladies and gentlemen there is a new brand of water out there that looks like tall boys of beer as you can see here but it's actually mountain spring water and it's the best water that i've ever had i'm not blowing smoke up your ass either look at the merch they sent me first of all this looks like a band-aid little grim reaper on here The back says it's going to murder your thirst. It is going to murder your thirst. I've been drinking more water than ever, ever since Liquid Death started sponsoring the pod. I think it's something about the can. I like drinking cans of soda, big cans of green tea,

right? I crack one of these open. I finish it every time. I've been drinking more water than ever. So shout out to Liquid Death for making me healthier and a shout out to liquid death for making sparkling water as well. Cause you could use this as a mixer. It's amazing. The tall boys are also recyclable so they could bring death to plastic bottles. You got to love that. And to get yours get with free shipping as well on water merch like this, whatever, go to liquid death.com slash mom's basement liquid death.com slash mom's basement that's liquid death like that slash mom's basement or grab some at whole foods or 7-eleven you could show up tell the cashier you listen to the podcast they're probably not going to give you a discount but they might say oh cool try it out so this is the one thing about uh episode one that I can just tell is going to be a thing.

This is in my brain with those Russian mobsters and the bro and the seedy New York underbelly, which I do like that now, like the chickens have come home to roost for all the shit Ronan pulled back in the day. I did appreciate that. But our new Mephisto for me is Kingpin. I'm like, all right, where's Kingpin coming? Where is he? And if we go through these next five episodes and now four episodes without seeing Kingpin. I'm like, alright, where's Kingpin coming? Where is he? And if we go through these next five episodes and now

four episodes without seeing Kingpin, I'm going to be like, motherfucker. Because I actually know who Kingpin is. I like him. That guy tweeted to you that I kind of look like him. I could be in for Halloween next year. So I need my guy. I need the pin coming back. That would be good, especially if

Kingpin debuts in this. Sienna could be Kate Bishop and you could be Kingpin. Oh, my God. AJ's Hawkeye? Yeah, this works. We have a costume here. My wife could be the girl, the woman that's on C-Word Watch, which is a problem. And listen.

No, no, no, no, no. Listen, let me just say this about C-Word Watch. It's like, A, she's like a bitch. Let's call it what she is. She's a bitch. She's yelling at the beloved dad right off the bat. And I didn't realize Kate Bishop came from money either. Usually these characters don't come from money.

But she has that. And then not telling your daughter that you're getting married. And she had plenty of chances. It's not like she saw her and then it got sprung on her. You had some fucking dickhead named Armando. Armando tell you that your mom's getting married. I almost said this. We're just now just repeating that. C-Word Watch,

it's on. She's on watch still. We can't, because we can't listen. You've put some people on the sus list, such as Sparky. We don't want to have another issue like that where, you know, something could happen to her in the next episode. Promise you wouldn't bring it up anymore, Bob. You promise you wouldn't bring that up anymore. Shouldn't bring it up on the Thanksgiving

episode. Let's get into episode two of hawkeye picks up right where episode one ended actually like a little before episode one ended because we get the little repeat of that scene where hawkeye takes her mask off it's kate bishop she's starstruck because this is her favorite avenger she says that right off the bat like you're my favorite avenger this is crazy and hawkeye hits her with a joke that i've heard a thousand times. She's like, Oh, like I was whatever in the battle of New York. And he's like, Oh, like a year ago, like he makes one of those jokes where, or she says like, when I was a kid and he's like, Oh, what was that yesterday? She's like, God damn Hawkeye. It made me resonate with Kate Bishop a little bit. I was like, all right, I'm 23. She's 22. She gets it. She's going

to have to deal with people older than her. That I. That's like the, I love the old age jokes. You know what I mean? Or it's like, oh, you're the like, oh, happy 30th birthday. You say to like your mom after every year after she's 30 for the rest of her life, stuff like that. So yeah, I can vibe with that a lot. Clint walks Kate home. He gets the Ronin suit from her and he tells kate that the tracksuit mafia were the ones who attacked her she's like tracksuit mafia is not a little on the nose which i like that they point that out every time in the mcu like scarlet witch the way they name her uh even in the no way home trailer the way they're like auto octavius like that's your real name um so i like when they point out the ridiculousness of all that sometimes uh the

tracksuit mafia conveniently attacks at that very moment they throw molotov cocktails into her apartment very fitting for the tracksuit mafia the russians to be throwing molotov cocktails um they set the whole apartment on fire clint and kate escape but they leave the ronin suit there which is going to be a big thread coming back to this episode um they go down to the subway hit up a cvs for supplies and i loved this scene really showing how grounded hawkeye is like jose was telling us there's scenes where he's all bandaged up after avengers things and whatever says like are we going to get avengers supplies like awesome this is going to be great and they go to cvs for um q-tips tissues neospin, and rubbing alcohol, which I use to clean my bong. Same alcohol that I buy.

That's what they bought at that CVS just to heal up a cut. He teaches her, like, here's how to disinfect a cut. It seems like he's very used to this. It seems like all of the other Avengers are like, all right, let's go on to the next one. We'll go get Shwarma. And he's like, nope, I'm going to up my my cuts and heal up my wounds guys the uh the old one of us one of us all right like that's what i felt like watching that as well that would have to be a duane reed right oh yeah it's the only only place in new york city i feel bad at least back when i was in the

city just going to like like there's like there was like one cvs and it was right by where i used to work right by uh grand central in the city and i was like ah i was like i know when you're talking about i used to live right by it oh really oh that's right yeah you lived right there yeah you lived right there i love a cvs in holiday time by the way is that a weird thing no not at all not at all cvs is always always are a nine out of ten chris uh holiday season 10 out of 10 it's just something in the air man when they got the christmas music playing they get the whole christmas aisle you could walk through you see the stupid things where it's like snoopy playing a piano or something like i just like that and i always want to buy those i always want to buy like the junkie stuff from back in the day when it was i think it was macy's or something

they'd have like those things that you would never in a million years buy i think cole's sells a lot of that shit too jc penny is another one of those good holiday stores yeah there's something about department stores cvs and the holidays i love it and that's part of the reason why i love hawkeye honestly is they're capturing those vibes yeah yeah and is this the part where he she mentions like are we going to go to the avengers tower or whatever and he's like no tony sold that a few years ago which i don't see him fucking crying for tony the guy who ran the whole goddamn i bet he's not wearing a hawkeye shirt seeing the avengers tower like in the opening scene like kate bishop's apartment was like within viewing distance so you could imagine like she was looking at that out her window every day like

imagining what are the superheroes doing like you could see how kate bishop is a fan of the mcu in the mcu it's kind of yes that's a great way to put it and also i was also thinking this when he's at like cba or uh duane reed with some chick he just some like little girl he just met basically and i'm like or i i'm sure he's in a nice hotel but isn't it kind of weird to have your kids in a new york city hotel by themselves like they're they're still there at this point right i think it's the night before they leave and i'm just they haven't they haven't left yet his oldest kid's probably like what like 14 or so so i guess like he could be the babysitter but it just felt kind of weird that they're just that they're just chilling at

the hotel yeah it is it is kind of strange um kate brings clint back to her aunt's place she's like this is probably safest place he goes back for the suit he's like i i need to get this suit he can't find that he puts a firefighter's outfit on he you know scours the entire place can't find it and then he sees that the fire truck has an nyc larpers sticker on it so he's like all right so we're getting some investigating again kind of spy vibes there's a lot of that in this show and a larper did steal the Ronin suit and is posting about it on Instagram. This is where he sees it. It's like a guy posting a very funny video where he's like, everyone said, I don't have a new suit. Look at this new suit.

And it's just the Ronin suit. And it's like, oh, my God, dude, you're going to get killed by the mafia. It's like me when I didn't know who I was messing with with Khabib. Clint sends his kids back off to their mom at this point. He sends them all in the car. And he's like, I'll be back home for Christmas. I promise you. And they start showing Clint and the kids doing their mom at this point. He sends them all in the car and he's like, I'll be back home for Christmas. I promise you. And they start showing Clinton,

the kids doing sign language at this point, they're kind of starting to learn this new life. And they talk about the hearing loss. Kate brings it up at one point. She's like, how did that happen? And we flash, it's a very,

it's kind of played for laughs. Like they flashed to a thousand moments where it could have happened in the MCU, where he hears this loud bang. I think even the Avengers like tower bang was on there. The Avengers headquarters bang. And he's like, oh, I don't know. Who knows?

Too hard to tell. That was great too. Again, they're, they're like, they're tickling the nostalgia bone, but I was like, all right, I'm starting to like Clint more and more. And it did a great job. Cause this is a, this is more Jose stuff when he's like Hawkeye's broken down, he has hearing loss, like his body's starting to go on him. And you're thinking like a professional athlete, you know,

after like 10 years or so is when they start to break down. Like a superhero that's fighting against like supernatural alien beings, whatever the fuck it may be. That has to be like a three-year peak, right? It's like the fact steve steve rogers had super serum injected into him and at some point like you know it's like steve rogers base was like tom brady it's like thanks he only got better and it's like they say in football like the game slows down but that's when your body starts to break down but brady

thanks to alex guerrero has been able to like keep both sharpens attack fucking hawkeye not so much he is aging like uh milk outside right now you know and like you said it's like actually making him very likable it's doing what the other shows have done for their characters i never really cared about hawkeye before this show and i'm starting to care about hawkeye now it's very cool how they're able to do that with only two episodes as well like we're two episodes in and i'm like all right hawkeye's a good guy i'm into it jeremy renner's of course creating the role he always has been great for hawkeye so he helps that as well um news reports say that ronan is wanted for armand's murder it was done with his sword so ronan's wanted um kate says that her mom runs a security firm so she

should go there bishop security nobody in time square recognizes Hawkeye while he's walking her over there, which is very funny. They're like, look, a superhero. And it's just someone dressed as captain America. And then they're like, Oh,

well that one's dressed as you. And he's like, Nope, that's Katniss Everdeen. I was awesome. Keep walking. That was really funny. And they exchanged numbers and go their separate ways.

He says, let's say goodbye. If nobody saw you in this suit, if nobody has any connections towards you at this point, whatever, we'll say goodbye. Call me in the case of emergency she's like there's no way i'm calling you in the case of emergency i'll talk to you later basically we know that these two aren't uh leaving each other especially this early in the show and they don't even really play it like that her mom's fiance is in the office with her mother when she gets in there and she invites

kate to dinner she's like why don't you come out to dinner with the both of us we got off on the wrong foot she's like fine as long as i can pick up the pick all the topics for dinner conversation they're like all right sure whatever we'll see you at dinner clint goes to get his suit back from the larpers and they give him a really hard time about getting into the larping grounds so he has to register for the larp and he gets the guy to agree to give it back as long as as he basically, I wrote, puts him over in a match, uh, to use wrestling terms. The guy wants Clint to let him kill himself. Like, like, let me kill you in the LARP. That's the closest I'll ever be to being a superhero.

Clint's like, all right, dude, like whatever. And they do this little like stage thing where he eventually lets him kill him. He loves it. It's like, oh my God, old thing calls his wife. He's like, I'll, I'll be home in time for Christmas. do this little like staged thing where he eventually lets him kill him he loves it it's like oh my god old thing calls his wife he's like i'll be home in time for christmas i promise we get a little linda cartellini i love for going back to freaks and geeks fame and the nypd at this point calls kate they're very suspicious we skip to dinner she quizzes jack on all the swords she's not really trying to be subtle about this she's like what's up with the swords

she wants to fence with him and she proves to at least herself and her mom that jack is very skilled with the sword she's like how does he know all this about swords how is he good at this how is whatever weird scene tense scene it was a good um kind of parallel to the hilarity of the hawkeye sword fighting scene and then you got this one which is very tense and like oh this is weird that's actually i didn't think about that where it's like you have people who are all different levels of sword fighting right and some are trying some aren't they're trying someone's trying to die that's i didn't think about that kind of thing good good good observation there i gotta give you that one that one fucking blew me away there um it's kind of and with jack i almost felt like when you're playing against your kids and you're letting them score and letting them win and it's like just yeah you're a weird sword guy

you can't hide your sword guy vibes you're a fucking and she's saying the same thing she's like stop letting me win what are you doing she's getting so angry at him and i like how because if your kids know you're letting them win that's that's the word that's worse than just kicking their ass and something so i like that side of the thing i also liked the little the little side of this where it's like you got to see like getting into the larpers and you have to register to put your email you have to like he's like get my credit card reminds me of role models yeah and i said role models is such an underrated movie i haven't watched it we've definitely bring that up like once a year on the podcast i really have to watch that movie yet again.

But how has nobody at Barstool done LARPing yet? I know we had the King Richard's Fair forever ago, but that wasn't LARPing. How is not? And listen, I. Maybe we got to do it. I'm not good at video. I don't like being on video. But we have like we have fucking weird brains all over the place.

This goddamn company now, like send someone out there, get to the New York City LARPing. And let's get some fucking LARPing going on here, man going on here man larping and someone commented on our video with jose i forget the the name we'll shout you out if we eventually do this they said you should go to an archery place and do like videos testing your archery that's a funny idea we might have to capitalize on that i said after the pop punk show because i don't want to mess up the fingers the money makers um but after the pop punk show december I don't want to mess up the fingers, the moneymakers. But after the pop punk show, December 3rd, by the way, if you're in Connecticut,

come to that show, it's going to be great. Toad's Place. Yep. Yes. And get some good pizza. New Haven's like the capital of the world. And that's a Portnoy line,

not even mine. So you have to listen to the pizza guy on that. Also, how many sword murders, like how many sword murders are in New York? I looked this up. There was one like two or three years ago by a white supremacist and i feel like i've blogged at least like four different

sword attacks since i started working at barstool there might have been a couple in florida i think there was at least one in new york though but yeah sword murders pretty fucking rare in new york according to my research but if you have the citizen app the thing that lets you know if there's any crime in your area which i used to have in new york it'll let you know every now and then guy with the sword flailing a sword around on the corner you're like all right i'll avoid that corner oh shit i forgot i got my guy sam sam waterdale he got me the fucking thundercat sword i have the sword right now so wow you're sus oh i am sus i just put myself on the sus list what a guy i'm a sword guy fuck i guess i have to root for jack now i'm rooting for jack the rest of the way all right sorry i'm a sword guy fuck i guess i have to root for jack now i'm

rooting for jack the rest of the way all right sorry i get i didn't listen i didn't want to be a villain i do not want to do this aj at the medieval time show we were at was rooting against our black and white knight he goes i wanted the red knight to win and we go why because he's the bad guy and i'm like you really like bad guys he goes yeah he roots for bowser when he watches bowser and mario fight and i'm my nephew does that as well it loves bowser something about bowser And I'm like, you really like bad guys. He goes, yeah, he roots for Bowser when he watches Bowser and Mario fight. And I'm like. My nephew does that as well. Loves Bowser.

Something about Bowser. AJ was born the month Infinity War came out. It all makes sense now. Thanos, like he was raised in a house that loves the villain. So I have now made my son. My son is now becoming like a villain in my house. So this is kind of a problem. But it's all my fault. It's some Oedipal fucking shit that's like, you a villain in my house. So this is kind of a problem, but it's all my fault.

It's some Oedipal fucking shit. That's like, you know, in the stars, it's written. It's a great, I'm living a great tragedy and I'm a sword guy too. So fuck it.

Let's rock and roll. Let's go. You know, the first villain that my nephew really loved wasn't my nephew. Same way. He's a villain guy roots for villains and everything. Roots for Bowser roots for Thanos roots for Darth Vader roots for Kylo Ren. If he wants to reach for villains, right? The first villain Bowser. Roots for Thanos. Roots for Darth Vader. Roots for Kylo Ren if he wants to.

Roots for villains, right? The first villain he really got into was Vulture. He would dress up as Vulture. He would have all the Vulture action figures. It was interesting because it was like Michael Keaton is the one that the kid chooses? Like the dad of the girlfriend? Whatever. He loved him.

Couldn't get enough of Vulture. He put the jacket. It was actually so adorable seeing him with the jacket on because it had the furry hood and everything. It was pretty cute. Kids look so much cuter as villains too because you know it's supposed to be this evil thing but they have this like adorable cute face and it's so fucked that like your brother grew up with michael keaton as bad man the peak of the hero maybe it's just keen thing yeah yeah kate starts telling her mom everything she's like i saw this he you know he's crazy.

Jack walks in on it. He offers her a butterscotch in this moment, the same butterscotch that she saw in Armand's apartment. It's like he's not even trying to hide this, where it's like he's almost, it almost came off as a threat, where it's like, watch what you're saying, because you and I both know what's going on here. Hawkeye is at this point willingly kidnapped by the tracksuit mafia. Luckily, Kate was tracking his phone because her mom runs the security system and all of that. And there's a funny interrogation scene where the tracksuit mafia basically gets nowhere with Hawkeye. He's not giving him anything. And Kate Bishop comes crashing in through the ceiling.

They're like, where's Kate? He's like, I don't know. I've never met her. They're like, where is she, bro? He's like, I don't know i've never met her like where is she bro he's like i don't know you have no you know no leads here and then she crashes in right in front of him and they both get tied up uh the big russian there's like one big russian in the in the group he's kind of a more recognizable one he's got a goatee he's got the the haircut ivan drago style and he goes to tell a boss, we have them both.

This boss is Echo. This is who we were talking about last week with Jose. It is the deaf Native American hero in the Marvel universe. She is, I believe a hero, maybe a vigilante. I don't really know. It appears she's running the tracksuit mafia.

So is she doing a Galen Erso rogue one thing where she's sabotaging them from the inside? Or is she at this point a villain who might be a hero in the future? I don't know. This is a complete mystery to me. Bob, I've already pointed it all out. We're going to find out. She's, like you said, she's a hero, but she's kind of having to run it. And it's going to be Kingpin in the end because I'm fucking mephisto in my ass with kingpin uh that the cape bishop where she falls through that feels a little um i think that gives like a hey she's not perfect

like right yeah and even ray had like a couple fuck-ups along the way but i i did like seeing her just kind of she she's not good at sneaking around she wasn't good at sneaking around as a kid her parents heard her as they were arguing right it's like she's just a little she got caught with the bell tower yeah exactly exactly uh are we gonna hmm she's already on the c word list but do we put the mom on the sus list because this sword thing seems almost too obvious that maybe the mom somehow has like the swords like he hasn't has he claimed the swords i guess he hasn't but i think i think it's it'd be fair to put the mom on the sus list. Even for bad judgment from, one, dating this guy, two, getting engaged to this guy, and three, not telling your daughter you did get engaged to this guy. She's just got such bad judgment that she might be sus just for that.

Yeah, you sus by stupidity, basically, is how she gets on the list. And the butterscotch thing like that seems like almost too obvious of a smoking gun i know i'm red herring i'm throwing fucking literary devices out like a motherfucker right now uh but i like maybe she had the butterscotch from him but then she left it behind like i'm trying to like figure out how we could all cut the aha moment right i could see that being like him actually being like yeah like i was involved with this but there's got to be someone above that it can't be that easy it can't be this guy is the big villain like you said that would someone above him like

kingpin uh i don't know maybe mephisto is the actual one and we're too busy looking at kingpin we don't even see could you imagine it's mephisto in this show we're too busy looking for the kingpin we don't realize we're the mephisto in the forest or whatever the hell the saying is of that keep our eyes and ears peeled for you lena because we're going to be looking for kingpin we're going to be when i when we least expect it i think we're going to have a black widow drop into this show that and that's going to be when business is going to pick up in the words of jr uh butterscotch by the way like not as much like the worthers like i mean those are perfectly fine i don't mind them at all but if you have like a good ice cream a nice minute my my friend's mom used to always get carvel vanilla ice cream

with butterscotch on top an absolute delightful treat it's just such a basic thing and i don't think carmel sells butterscotch anymore it's such a bummer man butterscotch is fucking awesome and the that line they had the uh when the russians took them and they're like they turned they're taking all our warehouse and they're turning them into lofts like that's a funny fucking line where it's like the typical villain and you're just kind of poking fun at all the tropes of comic book stuff i hope like jose said like the comedy of this i hope things like that are brought in and just like making fun of tropes or like the mcu or something like that because that shit always plays with me and like you said echo at the end it definitely feels like

it would be too straightforward if she's just a villain so it feels like marvel always does a good job you know giving these characters rich backstories and it's never quite what you think so i'm kind of stoked to see how this all plays out yeah the butterscotch actually kind of looked like the three chi root beer taffy i'm not gonna lie that's what it looks like because they're packaged in the little like candy thing with the little two things at the end yeah it's like it kind of looks like three chi which is one of my favorite products by the way and we can't say too much about that on youtube because they ban us but whatever we can't say it on the podcast if you listen to the podcast you get the full thing um want to get into the sus list let's get into the sus Let's get into it. We're not going to do questions this

week because it's Thanksgiving week. I got family over. We got construction going. We'll get back to it next week and because it was a double episode this week, but we will do questions next week. So send them in on Twitter, whatever you have for Hawkeye and we will be back with that as normal. But for now, the sus list.

All right, the sus list. I mean, we kind of broke it down in terms of who like, who's on it. The question is where. I'm now kind of having to reshuffle in my mind due to the fact that I own a sword. Number three is because I did it after episode one. It said Armand. Clearly not too sus. Armand Seven, though, is on the list.

That little fucking, like, he's like a Joffrey face on him. And I'm not going to fucking, you know, I let Joffrey into my life, not knowing the kind of chaos he can unfurl. Armand's the seventh. When you fucking have the name that long, there's some shitty, shady shit going back probably to number one, if not number two or three. So Armand Seven. Yeah, look at arm on the third he must have raised arm on the fourth to be a bad guy and he must have raised arm on the fifth to be a bad guy and he must raise arm on the sixth to be a bad guy and that's arm on the seventh dad that's so much bad just bad being passed down generation to generation so that's

three number two is jack again the fucking stepdad can either go good or terrible. We're leaning towards terrible. It's just, it's too goddamn obvious that he would be like a villain, like the villain. I guess there is a chance. He's just like a Patsy. He's,

he's kind of like the uncle from multi from into the spider verse where it's, you know, Kingpin above him, but it almost feels like he's that level of villain, but I can't have him. Number one, because I have a sword in my garage. That's why we're throwing the goddamn mom.

Number one on the sus list. Looking back again, I see watch. I guess she's on the C word watch and Kate's dad was originally going to be on number one on the sus list. But like you said, it would be really bad luck if the guy's just a dead father

that left behind a daughter and left a widow behind, and he's number one on the sus list. So I have a hard time doing that. So we're throwing the mom. This is a worst case scenario. I'm throwing a potential C word number one on my list. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that. The tracksuit mafia is going to love this list, by the way. They're going to be like,

hey, bro, that's a good sus list. We're not on it bro hey listen i hate to say this but like i've always been a fan of the molotov cocktail it's like one of like it's a cool ass name in grand theft auto yeah that was one of my go-to weapons was the molotov cocktail it's like it's fucking it's like it's it's simplicity is what makes it so incredible. It makes it so fucked up. And the fact, like, I love them all. And then when you see it happen in real life, you're like, what the fuck? Molotov cocktails.

But, like, even, like, in Bronx Tale, when those morons, his friends used the Molotov cocktails, it's a fucking, like, crazy weapon. So I have a hard time, like, hating the tracksuit mob. Like you said, they're, like, funny guys. They're morons. I know. It is kind of hard to hate them. Yeah, they're, like, we kidnapped you. He's, like,. You said they're like funny guys. They're morons. I know. It is kind of hard to hate them. Yeah, they're like, we kidnapped you.

He's like, I basically let you guys. He's like, I can see through the mask, which that was a nice little funny line. He picked the lock in his handcuffs. So they're not even sus. They're so stupid that I can't. And again, Echo would be the number one on the sus list. I don't think Echo's going to be bad. Kingpin could be on the sus list.

Mephisto should be on the sus list, but I'm going to keep C-word there. Potential C-word there. Potential. All right. That was Hawkeye episodes one and two recap. It was a great time. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrated yesterday.
