Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, noise in the basement Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, yeah, yeah Hello and welcome back to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3Cheat for Hawkeye Episode 4, I almost said Week 4 but it's Week 3 It feels weird that we're already on to episode four in a six episode show because I sort of feel like the show is like just heating up. Like I'm really enjoying it. I've enjoyed all four episodes, but I'm like, oh damn,
Starting point is 00:00:52 we only have two episodes left. That kind of sucks. Fuck. Yeah, you're right. The way it's done with the double episode first, there's only six episodes, which is weird. It's Christmas time. So no timing feels right and we're 66.66666 bar over the six seven
Starting point is 00:01:07 weighs through it shit next week is penultimate but ultimate and that's when everything's big on this pod you know that yeah obviously Clem is with me my co-host as always and we are here to talk about Hawkeye episode four as I mentioned is a really good episode I just said to Clem before we started recording I didn't get to watch this episode until midnight, the day it was released, like the next day. And thankfully, I didn't get anything spoiled. We got a big reveal in this episode. We got some big teases in this episode.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Nobody spoiled anything for me, and I appreciate that. Thank you, Internet, for being good on that stuff. And hopefully, it continues going with fucking spider-man next week in the words of uh i believe it was bode and and poop where they're talking about global warming and it's like earth is going one way people go in another like i feel like like the world is getting worse but the internet i shouldn't say the internet's the internet's definitely not getting better but like spoilers sides of the internet are getting better. The rest of the internet's going to shit, but the people who respect the spoilers,
Starting point is 00:02:10 which by the way, I saw hubs blog today. I had no idea that Tom Holland spoiled the end of end game for us. And yeah, brutal. I'll tell you it's, it's honestly a testament to their relationship strength that they started dating after that. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:02:28 They must be made for each other if they could get over that. I straight up would like dead anybody in my life, you know, family, friend, whatever the hell it may be. The spouse, significant other. It's like the Sean McCoy. This is the thing, dude. Like Sean McCoy was an eagle and I hated his guts before that, but he's, like, my, like, maybe third least favorite person in the world, and it's just because of that thing along with the Giants.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I was going to say, do you think that tweet from LeSean made people better about it? Like, it was almost like the spark that was, like, they saw people freaking out over it, like someone like Zah. Zah didn't understand how uh you know big that would be and now he looks back and he's like i can't believe i retweeted that it's the saddest thing i've ever done in my life i'm so sorry robbie it's crazy man yeah absolute fucking just exploded leshawn mccoy in like a weird way might have like saved the world kind of like thanos like thanos he said he like saved the world like we talked in the eternals recap it might be the same
Starting point is 00:03:24 case here. But yeah, I can't believe. I was going to say, speaking of the Eternals, it's almost like in that movie where they're like, well, the humans are getting better. And that makes us like more powerful. Humanity like leans on the good side. It's almost like we got to lean on the good side of the spoiler side and good things will come for us. As we have like Russia and Ukraine, idols is going on China and like all the nuclear weapons are being pointed at each other but guys look at twitter there hasn't been one spoiler since the fall guy and ultimate episode you know after next week whatever happens and i'm like all right we're just gonna put everything down so maybe there's a chance and then all the people from those

Starting point is 00:05:07 Let's get into Hawkeye episode four. We got a decent amount to talk about this week. It was a packed episode, pretty dense. I thought it was a really good episode as well. So far, four episodes in. I don't think there's been one stinker. I don't think there's been one episode that even dragged, really. Every episode's kind of at a breakneck pace in a good way way i think um this one opens up exactly where the last one left where jack pulls the sword on clint it
Starting point is 00:05:30 was a big cliffhanger last week we talked about but kate pretty much immediately diffuses the situation like we thought last week like here we go he's the villain and it's about to be revealed but that's not really the case here i mean he pulls the sword kate's like whoa whoa whoa and then we get the hawkeye title screen they sit uh jack and eleanor down hawkeye and kate and they're like listen uh this is clint he's my partner uh we're best friends pretty much he's enlisting me on special avengers business and clint sees the ronin sword in the background during this it's he locks eyes with it he's like oh fuck and they kind of come to a uh not an agreement but they're like all right this is fucking weird eleanor's like can i walk you out he says yeah and this is an unbelievable scene and i'll leave it to you
Starting point is 00:06:16 but i think it confirms our suspicions about eleanor and a certain c word she brings up natasha immediately like um she's like listen i know you're uh with my daughter but how to go with natasha out there and it's like what the fuck this is the first time you're ever meeting this guy he saved the world at least jack had the courtesy to say hey thanks for saving the world eleanor brings him out brings up his dead friend twice by the way in that one little 30 second conversation and she poses the conversation in a way where she's like i'm so worried about my daughter i'm so worried about my daughter. I'm so worried about her safety.
Starting point is 00:06:46 This is a dangerous business. In my eyes, I'm looking at Eleanor through these sus lenses, right? I think she's worried that Eleanor, Eleanor's worried that Kate is just on the other side about to sabotage her. Yes. Nope. I'm with you on that. 100% lockstep. Not surprised at all.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Susless. Number one with a bullet still to this day, Eleanor. I forget her name is Eleanor because she's always just the chick from Departed in my brain. Oh, chick from Departed's here, that goddamn bitch. And another word you want to use, C-word meter. I mean, we are red. It is in the red part of the meter. And before I can even unleash the word, I'm trying not to unleash the word before we get at least 70% of the way
Starting point is 00:07:26 through the series. I almost did, but she like, it was the insinuation, which almost made it worse where she's like, you know, you two went back. Only one,
Starting point is 00:07:35 two went back in time. Only one came back, you know, to the present day. What happened with Natasha? What the fuck? That's just, that is the epitome of a C-word move that is epitome the
Starting point is 00:07:46 epitome yeah the epitome oh god i'm so tempted i'm just gonna take a breath however i have to this this was crazy jack at the table he's like hey by the way thanks for saving the world i'm like i'm bumping you down the sus list a little bit you know like it wasn't his only likable moment in this episode either he had like a couple moments where i was like fucking hey i hate eleanor i think she's pulling all the strings and maybe jack's the fucking innocent one who knows i'm telling you when we find out she killed maybe he's not innocent i was gonna say he's laundering the money which we'll get into later but well yeah patsy i'm telling you jack is a patsy he's this is how easily my dumb brain can be swayed. I believe every single person in every true crime show.
Starting point is 00:08:27 They didn't do it. Look at this. Even in Cops, which is real life criminal drama. I'm like, this guy's not smoking crack. His eyes are bloodshot. And then it's like the crack pipe and four rocks. I'm like, God damn it. They fooled me again.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But I'm all behind you, Jack. I'm with you. And it's kind of like when you're like it's when you're with like a you know a troop or something and like you know veterans there or something you're like you know thank you for your service you almost have to say it's like an adventure like thanks for saving the fucking world and bringing back half of the universe um i also loved when they called him they're like archer hawkeye and he's like clint yeah i like how he's like it's a branding issue again yeah fantastic stuff and that's um like jose said like this he's holding his leg. Branding issue again. Yeah. Fantastic stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:05 And that's, like Jose said, like this is the epitome of like that very fun. It feels like a buddy-ish kind of show. And I almost like can smell the show. Like those, like the houses. I can smell the houses. Like his little hideout. I can smell their house where it's like a little fancier. It just has that Christmas vibe to it.
Starting point is 00:09:24 When they bring in the pizza every time. Like, oh, I i go for a fucking slice right now yeah every time i always think i guess we're gonna have pizza for dinner and we never do i just never have the ball i i watch it too early in the day i wouldn't just order the pizza if it was like four o'clock i watch this show i go right out and order the pie but i never have the gumption to do it um we move on with eleanor on the phone in a quick scene where she is like call me back it's urgent now this i immediately thought oh fuck is she calling kingpin because there's you know the the name that we just keep bringing up kingpin uncle kingpin whatever but i also think there's a chance spoilers if you haven't seen this episode which
Starting point is 00:09:59 why are you watching this if you haven't seen the episode but i think there's a chance she was calling yelena what do you think about that here we go all right there was your weekly youtube subscribers my brain exploded in real time because i hadn't even put that in the world um every time that was the call where she's like he's in new york get here yes yes and she has had her you know she has the radar up with that all right bob you sold me on that you know every time i hear the word big guy mentioned i'm like oh there it is you know uncle kingpin's coming uncle mephisto and fuck it could have been yelena i didn't even think about that i great call great call bob bob fox gets a hawkeye point i'm hoping to see i'm hoping to see
Starting point is 00:10:40 kingpin in the next episode too that would be a hell of a way to do up the penultimate, introduce Kingpin, and then it's like finale week after Spider-Man. So the multiverse is going to be opened in a big bad way. Like then everything kind of explodes in that way. Christmas episode as well, which we're going to love. I'm excited for that. Clint has his wife, Laura, run Sloan database through whatever. She has a special security system, like a background check kind of,
Starting point is 00:11:10 and she finds out for him that Jack is laundering money to the tracksuit mafia. Kind of a crazy revelation there. They talk about a Rolex that was destroyed years, oh, we thought it was destroyed years ago in the Avengers compound, the Rolex that was brought up in the beginning. We didn't know what the big deal about this Rolex was, but it seems like it was just the one that was associated to Ronan. So maybe there is more to it, but that was the vibe I got from their conversation, I guess. And the just the general back and forth between Clint and Laura, I loved like the way they talk to each other back and forth. Like she's in on all the superhero business. She's a ride or die.
Starting point is 00:11:44 And I like that. Yeah, she is a ride or die. It's a great way to put it right and i mean i think i guess i imagine if she was ever wavering getting snapped out of the universe and then being brought back with the blip i feel like she probably like really got her all in she's like listen this is that like how i never even thought of it when you think about it like she's not giving him shit she's like listen no i really love you home for christmas but if it doesn't work out like i understand how I never even thought of it. I mean, think about it. Like she's not giving him shit. She's like, listen, I really love you home for Christmas, but if it doesn't work out, like I understand these tracksuit motherfuckers and like another alien who could snap away half the universe.
Starting point is 00:12:13 She speaks to him in German for a second. She's clearly like, all right, Laura knows a bit more than we thought she did. Bob, that brought out something in me. I didn't know what had, I think it might have a German fetish.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Cause the way she did, but it wasn't even, it was like the secretive side of it too. I fucking dug that. I love her, man. The only, and again, the mayo of the hot dog is the only thing that's kind of throwing me off. But she's still like, she's on the radar of the sus list only because of that one comment. But other than that.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Well, our pal Liam Crowley also pointed out that she uses an android phone which is a bit weird considering you know heroes are supposed to use the iphone so shout out liam crowley the direct he pointed that out and i saw that on twitter this week very sus yep that's right i saw that as well his wife and getting green bubbles and back come on that's not but maybe she's got maybe she's got an android for like the hawkeye business and then like an iphone for her life the iphone is the clint phone the android phone is the Hawkeye business and then an iPhone for her life. The iPhone is the Clint phone. The Android phone is the Hawkeye phone.
Starting point is 00:13:09 There's two different sides. He has two different personas. That's what we're going to tell ourselves. We're going to piss off a lot. I guarantee. I know. The basement dwellers, the basement boys, the basement girls, they're probably the highest percent of Android people that there is of all the podcast listeners of ours. Percentage-wise, it has to be. Also, also i recall and i don't know if this is true people might say that's completely
Starting point is 00:13:30 false when droids first came out i feel like they had to pay lucas money george lucas for the term droid i'm almost positive i remember seeing like copyright lucasfilm like in the bottom of the i could be wrong about that but i seem to remember remember that. I feel like there was some sort of like trademark thing with George Lucas. I feel like there was even a blog about it on Barstool. George Lucas owns all your droids. Today I learned the word droid was created by George Lucas. I don't really know. The word droid is a trademark registered of – that's from 2012.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah, so that kind of checks out I believe she says or Hawkeye says something about the big guy and that's where it's all right we're talking we're talking about the big he references the big guy uh that's who I think is in control like someone above Kazi he says or above my he's like oh yeah I think the big guy knows about this and I'm gonna make a confession. I think we made it a few episodes ago, but then I forgot if we had actually done it this whole time. I'm like, am I supposed to know whose Rolex this is? And I'm just forgetting about it.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Yeah. I was kind of confused about that too. No, you're not alone in that. And I've since been getting people who are coming up with different theories about whose it is. It's Captain America's it's Spider-Man's it's this, it's that.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And I, Tony would say that it can be tracked back to my family somehow the rolex they could get back to his family in some way i don't know and so the most boring one i think would be ronin which then comes back to hawkeye obviously just because we already know that the interesting one is if daredevil somehow gets involved in this but that's tony the aven complex. That seems kind of weird. And how much does he now, obviously if Kingpin's in there,
Starting point is 00:15:08 we know that he's going to be involved. Could it be Kingpin's Rolex? Would that make sense? Maybe. So there's a lot of ways it can go here, but just for anyone else listening, you're not alone. If you don't know where the,
Starting point is 00:15:19 like, cause that watch feels like we're supposed to know. And I've had no fucking clue. And I've just been kind of being like, Oh yeah, the watch. Yeah. Cool. Like from Avengers compound oh, yeah, the watch. Yeah, cool. It's from an Avengers compound, somehow connected to Clint.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah, it's kind of strange. And the tracksuits wanted it so bad in the first episode. We get a scene where Jack and Eleanor dance in front of Kate. Kate seems to have, like, never seen her mom like this. Her mom's smiling, laughing. Kate actually smiles. It seems like she's happy for him for a sec. She's like, oh, I've never seen you like that.
Starting point is 00:15:44 It's nice. And then Kate uses – or Jack uses the she's happy for him for a sec. She's like, oh, I've never seen you like that. It's nice. And then Kate uses or Jack uses the wrong movie quote from Forrest Gump. It's like, life is short. You never know what you're going to get. And they're like, no, that's definitely not it. And they say like something, absence makes the heart grow older, was another one that he used. Another likable Jack moment. It actually made me laugh when he said you know life life is like a
Starting point is 00:16:05 life is short you never know what you're gonna get i was laughing at that it's like what an idiot like what he played he played such a he did such a good job kind of like brushing it off laughing about it but also being like trying to get better i was like fucking i think i'm falling for jack i think we're all falling for jack we see how eleanor fell into this guy's sword trap. Yeah. Sword trap. Hawkeye ices himself up with a bunch of smoothie mix again, like showing what Jose was telling us about the comic book where it's like, you see him just like, fuck this shit hurts. I'm a human being.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I'm not a superhero. Grounded. Like we, we, we enjoy. And because there was a little dialogue with Jack and Eleanor about like the saddest thing is someone alone on Christmas. Kate decides I'm going to go some christmas movies to clint being he's stuck in here
Starting point is 00:16:49 with me and my aunt's friggin new york city apartment so she brings the holiday movies to him uh he tells her listen track suits are getting money from jack this is crazy and then we get this great brainstorming session slash movie marathon montage where he's teaching her about the the quarters that he could knock people out with from 20 feet away they have a funny back and forth about boomerang arrows that's taken directly from matt fractions hawkeye run which i now have in my possession thank you to jake bass he lent that to me um and he teaches her how to do the quarter trick she eventually turns the tv off this is one of those just like perfect Christmas movie montage. Like it had the Hawaiian Christmas song in the background, like Mele Kalikimaka.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Mele Kalikimaka. Yeah, yeah. That was good. So I really enjoyed all this. And did you see the little mug Easter egg? Yes. He drank out of a Thanos was right mug, which I guess maybe Kate's aunt was like a Thanos truther, a Thanos cider.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I kind of dig it. I kind of dig it for the, the perfect stocking stuffer for the rational person in your life. The one who is not scared to say what everyone else is thinking. So shout out to Kate's this world. We live in is conspiracy theorists. I don't want to be lumped in with the other conspiracies of this universe.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I like the MCU universe conspiracy theorists. don't want to be lumped in with the other conspiracies of this universe i like the mcu universe conspiracy theorists they're fun i think we're gonna see more of that in no way home too because i've seen promotional material already with people that say like mysterio was right like where's mysterio so there's gonna be like people that sided with him i like all that it's very like realistic it's yeah it's fucking crazy people tell me frank the tank is right the guy has been oh over a thousand on his Mets theories, but just cause Portnoy fucking smiles at him. Everyone thinks Frank was right. He hasn't been right about anything about the Mets.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It's actually incredible. The, the scene, the, this whole Christmas montage scene, first of all, the, the apartment or whatever,
Starting point is 00:18:42 it's just so cozy. Like it has those like worn in like leather couches that always just feel so good and my uh the uh mechanic that we use over here to get like our oil change or like our tires done they have those couches and i could just sit in them for hours and hours a little dim right it's not like super bright it's like the the lighting is nice and the whole apartment is a cozy apartment and it's it's also like with christmas as like the christmas glow to it as well which helps and even like the shit it's like it's an old tv it's like all stuff from like the 90s it feels so it does have that like worn in homey what like vibe
Starting point is 00:19:14 to it so i i just feel like happy when i'm there and then i i love some fucking uh frozen drinks i'll always like if i'm if we go out we'll get i'll get like a strawberry daiquiri or i had a pina colada the other day even though it's like the fucking you know middle of winter and it just feels so good just puts you in the right mood i i barely drink at all like you know me like i i can count on one hand how many times i've drank an alcohol this year and i think every time has been out of a smoothie like i i joke to my girlfriend i'm like that's my favorite that's my preferred consumption um like style is out of a slushy all right bob fox if it doesn't have an umbrella i don't fucking want it that's the only kind of alcohol he's drinking um i also love the boomerang arrows thing because i was like i was like what the
Starting point is 00:19:55 fuck are we talking about here so i felt like it was like the rolex too and you like red it's flipped from the comic so in the comic clint is like we should have some fucking boomerang arrows and clate's like kate's like no they're gonna come back at you like what are you talking about so they flipped it for the show for their personalities to fit a little more um to be a little more fitting and i liked that i like that too uh i have to say this i and i want to get your opinion thoughts on white christmas trees not a fan despise them despise a bit gaudy to be honest and i'm sorry to anyone that has white christmas trees out there but i don't like them no don't like him big fake tree guy as i think we
Starting point is 00:20:30 mentioned last week when we were talking about kfc and that whole debate but you gotta go with the regular tree and i just saw uh someone who who listened to her name's the olgy she has she had i think uh tree spiders come out of her tree and i I was like, fuck. It was a real tree, obviously. And I'm like, yeah, we're never going back to the real tree. That reminds me of that Mandalorian episode season two. I'll never forget it. I was like, Bob's going to freak out. And then that coin trick, I hope
Starting point is 00:20:56 to God, we get like, that's Chekhov's coin. It's like, you know, they have Kingpin has it. Boom! Right between the fucking eyes. So good. I didn't even think about that. Check off coin. We need it.
Starting point is 00:21:08 We need it now. One of our listeners, Martin Banks, is like, how long were you guys flicking coins? I was worried when they start flicking them. I was like, they're going to ruin this apartment. Like, they're going to hit something. They're going to crack something. I was like, oh, my God. I thought that was the dad in me coming out because i'm like what a tv screen oh and you see the top uh
Starting point is 00:21:29 christmas movie was santa claus which we talked about was it really yeah i saw they were watching miracle on 34th street i saw some of the christmas movies they had on i didn't i didn't see santa claus though my wife's very serious conversation too go ahead yeah no my wife said she's like i don't think i've ever seen the Santa Claus with Tim Allen. I'm like, are you fucking serious? I feel like that's one of those movies. You see it the first time. It's great.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I don't know how rewatchable it is just because I don't know how many people that rewatch it. But I know the first time I saw it, I fucking loved it. Yeah, it's a great movie. I'm like, it's so great to give someone, like watching a great movie with someone for the first time that they've never seen. It's so much fun. But I think it's like Christmas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah. That's my favorite thing is to show people movies they've never seen before. And should we do it now or should we wait to the Batman? Should we should we tell the story about? No, wait till that. We'll wait till the Batman. Yeah. Wait till Batman.
Starting point is 00:22:22 We'll probably be able to record next week, I would assume. Yeah. So look out for that Batman Returns commentary for Christmas. A very nerdy Christmas commentary for a nerdy pod. That'll be with my brother. That'll be a blast. And then they have a serious conversation between Clint and Kate here where she says, what's the best shot you ever took? And he said, it's actually the one that I didn't take.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And they go back and forth. It's about the first time that he met Natasha. He was sent to kill her. He couldn't take the shot. He had a realization of some sort that she wanted out, and she did want out. She's like, oh, it was Natasha. She realizes shortly afterward that he was Ronan. He doesn't really try to hide it or deny it from her.
Starting point is 00:23:01 She's like, your whole family was snapped away? He's like, yeah. She's like, is that when you met the Ronan? And he just doesn't say anything. She's okay so you were the ronin and he's like listen we all fucking dealt with it in our own way he said i was always just uh someone that hurts people or like someone that fucking kills people whatever he said and he said um he vetted everyone it was very dexter i've been watching dexter and dexter's very like i fed everyone to make sure that they are murderer before I murder them. And Hawkeye kind of said the same thing to make sure we know like, yeah, he wasn't going rogue and killing good people in this time, but he was killing people brutally.
Starting point is 00:23:35 So it was serious. Kate goes to bed and then Hawkeye is kind of haunted by his past we see almost they were almost showing us that he has like a ptsd way of looking back at the events of the avengers movies the infinity saga which is understandable when you say again he's human he's got a human brain so that's just another part of how this is grounded yeah and i love again i love how they're doing all that i just my note was hawkeye is going through it right now but they really make you feel for him and you're like dude just fuck and this is how we're gonna see the handoff to kate becoming the new hawkeye i think if it's not by the end of the series by the end of kangame um i'm gonna make kangame stick i actually game i meant that to be our um end of the episode thing a couple episodes ago
Starting point is 00:24:22 was hashtag kangame tweet that at us but i'm gonna make it hashtag Kangame. Tweet that at us. But I'm going to make it stick. You know what? Tweet it at us this week, too. Let's just start getting the hashtag rolling. We got to get it off the ground. So just tweet it, hashtag Kangame all week. Yes, please. If we're not going to get more of the Ronin in the Hawkeye series,
Starting point is 00:24:40 which we only have two episodes left, I feel like we're missing out on a big opportunity here. I guess there's a chance we could do some flashbacks with Kingpin at some point or maybe in a future show or movie. You don't need mystery with
Starting point is 00:24:58 the character. You don't have to unveil more of the mystery, but just let me see him fuck some more people up. I guess we did get him earlier in the season. That one shot they did through the window was cool. Yeah, that was dope. Maybe just one more of their own and just let me see him fuck some more people up i guess we did get him earlier in this year that one shot they did like through the window was cool yeah that was dope maybe just one more of the ronin maybe two uh and again he's only the ronin we have to put the in front of ohio state the bronx dude i don't know about you i imagine you're the same and i imagine 90 of the people listening are the same hearing that vormir music fucking gets me going every single i mean anything and i played it more than single i mean anything and i think they
Starting point is 00:25:25 played it more than once in this episode too i think they kind of played it when they showed yelena right every time they mentioned like like a black widow already playing it so uh it gets i put chills like on my arm when i heard that i was like holy shit this is like serious yeah my my sienna has she she plays fortnite and song, every time it loads, it plays the, plays one of the, how does it go? It's like one of the Avenger hype game songs. Oh yeah. And I'm like, holy fuck.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Like I'm ready to run through a war. It just has that nonstop. And so like they, I mean, it's. The Marvel intro, by the way, will never not slap. Every single time they do the Marvel intro, I'm so fucking in. Yeah, it's so true. And the Star Wars one is good, and I appreciate that they're trying that. Marvel is the coup de grace for that.
Starting point is 00:26:15 The score for that, the pages flip in, you see the actual scenes from the movies now, which they added. I noticed on this one, there's Shang- chi now shang chi and black widow um and like yelena are now in the marvel intro i didn't know that actually this week i was like i was like i wonder if they changed that at all and then i just like started looking at my phone as it was going on so all right shout out bob fox the observation i noticed that um so at this point they wake up he tells kate listen track down the trick arrows they're over like by this police compound go to the larpers one of them's a cop he'll be able to or she'll be able to help you get it and this is kind of kate's uh like side mission for the episode they say hey why don't
Starting point is 00:26:54 you make it worth our while as well in the same breath kind of clint ambushes kazzy he goes in the back seat of his car and he is a funny thing where like he goes to reach for his weapons he's like oh you're looking for that? What about the box cutter under your seat? And he just wants him to convince Maya and I guess her boss, the big guy, Kingpin, that Ronan is dead. The Ronan is no more.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And he's like, whatever. They kind of go back and forth. It doesn't end up going great. He acts for his gun and Clint launches it in the background. We just got a big belly laugh out of me i thought that was so funny and clint come clint comes home to larpers everywhere in his house and they want kate to get him or all of them material to make new costumes and they're like she's like how about i get you material make all of our costumes and then two more for us so
Starting point is 00:27:41 hopefully we'll see you know the costumes we see Clem wearing there and me wearing there on Clint and Kate, maybe in the penultimate, maybe they'll save that for the finale. They'll probably save that for the finale. Um, but all, all in all good scene. I love these LARPers. I didn't think I would in the beginning, but I'm really warming up to the LARPers. They made snickerdoodles in the apartment. That was probably smelling great in there. They offered it to Clint right as he walked in. So I'm in on the LARPers. I'm in on the LARPers too. And I'm with you. I thought I was going to hate them.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I thought it would be a little too much, but there is like a little bit of reality grounded in them too. Again, like, like when we first met them with like the registration booth and stuff like that, it just felt so goddamn real. And I mean, LARPers could be much crazier in real life.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I feel like they might be, but for this one, I absolutely love that. I mean, lovers could be much crazier in real life. I feel like they might be, but for this one, I absolutely love that. I also, when a hero knows where the villain, all his like weapons are like a top five trope for me, it's one of my favorite things in the world. So I was delighted when he was,
Starting point is 00:28:36 you know, being like, you know, Oh, the razorblading issues or whatever, that entire thing. And I have to admit, if he's like Maya,
Starting point is 00:28:42 I'm like, who the fuck is Maya again? Even though I know she's just echo to me. So I forget has a real name so that's just i don't even think they've called her echo in this show yet i think it's been just yeah i think her show's called echo so we're gonna get to that at some point um and listen if i were getting the larpers to make me a superhero costume i would get them to make it out of cuts clothing material so i just mentioned if i wanted to get my LARPing costume or Hawkeye costume made, I would go to Cuts clothing,
Starting point is 00:29:08 and that's because they have the most comfortable clothes anywhere. Obviously, work attire has changed. For Hawkeye, it's changed as well. You don't have to wear the stuffy, uncomfortable clothes anymore because Cuts clothing has reimagined wear clothes by elevating the classic t-shirt to something you can wear on any occasion, from a formal business meeting to a casual night out to a run-in with the tracksuit mafia cuts clothing is the best in the biz founded by a barelli maybe related to frankie barelli maybe not we support them regardless we support all barellis on my mom's basement that's what i
Starting point is 00:29:39 say they've got style they've got variety They've got great material. That signature buttery soft, custom engineered Pika Pro Tribal NT. That's the best. I wear that on flights, as I've said all the time. I wear their joggers on flights. I love it all.

Here's the location of it. Like it's still out there from this, you know, it wasn't destroyed at the Avengers compound. So they go to the location of the Rolex. It's in this building. And Clint is like getting ready to head in. And he's like, all right, it'll take me three minutes to get in. I'll go in the back, whatever. And then he turns to his right and Kate's already going. She has a super funny back and forth with an old guy in an elevator where she's like,
Starting point is 00:30:37 oh, let me grab your bag for you. And she starts talking to Clint. He's like, what'd you say? She said, oh, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to an Avenger in my ear. He's actually like my best friend. I'm his partner. Guy's like, what'd you say? She's like, oh, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to an Avenger in my ear. He's actually like my best friend. I'm his partner. Guy's like, give me my fucking bag back.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I'm getting out of here. I love that Kate is telling everyone she meets like, you know, I'm best friends with an Avenger. Bob, I feel like for a few weeks there, you're like, see this tattoo? Mark Hanna. No, you didn't say Mark. You're like see this tattoo mark yeah no and you didn't say mark you're like luke skywalker he was acting like it was his actual lightsaber yeah so i could definitely see a little bit of you in gate bishop hey it's just like such a likable character i she's one of my favorite new mcu editions of 2021 i would say yeah and i mean the way that they they introduce
Starting point is 00:31:24 and how like hawkeye was her hero after she saw him in in that new york city thing with uh loki's invasion and all that just seeing the whole growth of the character that's probably exactly how you would act you fucking like are obsessed with the dude so yeah that was great and you know it's bad when like an old person says they don't want your help anymore that's like the lowest like you've really fucked up when it gets there speaking of which i love one of my favorite things to do is uh when i'm at the grocery store and someone's like can you reach this for me i feel like i feel like a superhero i'm like i'm an avenger right now yes i can ma'am yes i can get all i'm here to save the day you're like why why why did this voice go down
Starting point is 00:32:02 like that in that moment take the glasses off off like I'm fucking Superman and Clark Kent. Hands on hips, right? Yeah. They go into the apartment, or Kate goes into the apartment alone, and some strobe lights start going off. And she shoots like the putty arrows at them right away. And now me and my girlfriend had just watched this movie. I think it was called Hush. And it was a really good movie.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It was made by Mike Flanagan, who made like The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor. And it was about a deaf girl getting a home invasion put on her. And these are the exact kind of alarms that she had. So I kind of clicked it. She kind of clicked it in her head right away. We're like, oh, shit, this is Maya's apartment. This is a deaf person's apartment. And there are security alarms going off.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Obviously, she wouldn't be able to hear alarms so she finds the watch and right next to it there's a notebook of clint's family his is uh their names their ages some info on them creepy shit when you find that it's like in the dark apartment with the strobe lights going off and he's like oh my god get out of there that's maya's apartment and then you start hearing some kerfuffle over the radio and he's like maya's attacking me and you see maya attacking our girl kate here so you're like no she's not what the fuck he's like then who am i fighting she goes up to the roof and there's a huge action sequence here it's clint fighting this hooded figure who's got some night vision goggles on who we know to be yelena now and i called it right away and i didn't know in the comic books she does wear like an outfit like that and a night vision goggles on who we know to be Yelena now. And I called it right away. And I didn't know in the comic books,
Starting point is 00:33:25 she does wear like an outfit like that. And a night vision goggles. I didn't know that. And I was still like, that's gotta be our girl. Fucking Yelena, Florence blue pew. She finally made it to the show.
Starting point is 00:33:34 There's a really funny zip line bit where Kate tries to like zip line back and she gets stuck. I thought that was one of the funnier moments of the episode. And then there's one where Clint kind of tries to get Kate out of there. He's like, get away from here. Go be safe. And she's just so annoyed by it. Not for a second does she think about leaving.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And he cuts her loose and she just comes right back up to the top. She shoots like a big flashbang arrow. And then she shoots Maya with a bow like right in the shoulder, which I wrote offends Maya. Because Maya just got shot. She takes the arrow and had a look like, what the shoulder which i wrote offends maya because maya just got shot she takes the hero and had a look like what the fuck and she just left she's like getting the fuck out of here what the fuck is it like it's like when someone gets their ass kicked in a fight like in a schoolyard and they just cry and leave like that's kind of what maya did i was saying the same thing it's like a bunch of 10 year old plants like oh like
Starting point is 00:34:20 i got her like my my son and my daughter AJ, hitting Sienna with the arrow, of course. But I was just like, what the fuck's going on? It's like you guys were, like, hardcore fighting. You have the whole guy's whole goddamn family written down in, like, a journal. What the fuck's going on here? And I'm kind of jealous that you – because I didn't know what the fuck was going on with the strobe lights. I'm like, oh, boy. We have problems here.
Starting point is 00:34:41 We have strobe lights. That's never a good thing no matter what what you're doing in like an action show. I was freaking out about that. I love the, like you said, I got big time home alone vibes when she was hanging on the zip line. I thought about the same thing. And then when she's hanging, that was, I think the next four, that was the other Vormir like callback.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Cause he, instead of bringing her up, instead of let me go, she's like, bring me up. So it was kind of the reverse which i dug in instead he actually you know makes her fall down and then she runs back up so there's definitely i love her running back up the way they like shot that there was like almost like a comedic b2 or she's like oh she goes right back in the building and she's i think they're trying it feels like now that i think about it feels like they're trying to hammer up like hammer the point of like this is his new net whether he wants her or not basically she's gonna be like his sidekick she's not one one millionth in terms of deadliness as the widow is was i guess um but and then the yelena thing where yelena like just says like no and then she's like
Starting point is 00:35:39 okay i won't shoot you and then she like just flies away i'm like what the fuck was that kate oh you know what i thought that was i thought that was a callback to the best shot Clint ever took was the shot he didn't take. Oh. And it was with his, you know, her sister. And now it's, I'm not shooting the Black Widow and they're going to probably team up. Bob Fox, you brought the fucking heat today.
Starting point is 00:35:59 You and the Yelena radar fucking bubbling. Yeah, I've been thinking about Yelena. I said every episode, Yelena's coming in because she's one of my favorite characters from black widow i think you said the same thing in that recap so i i was really excited for this so i've been thinking about it a lot and i think we'll get like the new age hawkeye and black widow is kate bishop and yelena i can okay i could that okay that's pretty fucking so yeah and it won't be It won't so it'll be two girls instead of one Yeah that works that could be
Starting point is 00:36:27 I could dig that I could dig that like So yeah she says no and then she does get away And I loved the way they played this final scene too Where Clint is like You're not my partner you never were He kind of snaps he's like Someone sent a black widow spy here Shit just got real
Starting point is 00:36:43 Real quick you gotta get out of here and then the episode ends but like you felt the weight of like this isn't fun and games anymore this isn't fucking christmas someone's about to die there's some dmx you think it's a game you think it's a fucking game yeah um for anyone who hasn't watched i don't think it's really spoiler i mean she's in the fucking show now but at the in the post credits or mid-credits scene of black widow they uh julie louis dreyfus tells and again we just call her elaine uh she tells yelena that hawkeye was the one who killed nat right and that's kind of i think though she she words it interestingly she's like this is the man responsible for your sister's death.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Which is like from a certain point of view, right? Obi-Wan the fuck out of her, basically. Yeah, so that's so pissed off. Someone brought this up on Twitter. I forget who it was, so I'm sorry if I can't mention you. Julia Louis-Dreyfus shows Yelena a picture in that moment of Hawkeye in the Rononin suit without the ronin mask is that taken by bishop security cameras oh and then that's how kate bishop's mom calls up yelena and she says
Starting point is 00:37:56 this is the fucking ronin he's in the city responsible for his sister's death whatever and then maybe eleanor and elaine are connected somehow okay bob fox i'm trying to connect all the dots here this is like the always sunny meme where it's like oh this is all my stuff here like pepe silvia right here yelena silvia um so let's get into the sus list presented by hello fresh which is maybe not a sus list you said because it seems like there's one real sus person and I guess a sus figure in the shadows, but let's get into it.

She's number one on the sus list. Eleanor, the fucking name Eleanor. It's like, it's an old name. I feel like it's got to be a big gap to number two, right? Yeah, we're dealing like tiers here.
Starting point is 00:39:41 That's tier one, two, and three. She's up on her own fucking floor of it all and like i can't really like okay so that's one two i know she's like a villain but i think it's a lot of gray areas but like maya you have the guy like when you start throwing young kids in like a written fucking you know pages and shit like that about a guy's kids i'm immediately fucking turned off your sus i do not like you and number three on the sus list anybody anybody who said there was a mid credits or post-credits scene is fucking sussest c word list i was fucking like when disney plus someone tweet you and say that there was i but i know i saw it in a bunch of places so either retweeted
Starting point is 00:40:24 or you know someone had tweeted out that i follow i don't remember where it was but i'd seen it multiple times so i'm here like trying to get disney plus to like fast forward through the actual credits but then catch the scene and then it does the thing where it throws what you're watching into the small box and my old man brain can't figure out how to get from box so i'm trying to do it then it's going to the next show or it's like not even the next hawkeye it's like to some other it went to um shang chi started playing i'm like what the fuck is shang chi the post-credit scene this is massive this is a huge fucking moment here and no it's just the actual movie shang chi so uh that person is like it's a rebuke list actually that person is number one on the rebuke yeah whoever all right and now we
Starting point is 00:41:03 have another christ Christmas countdown list. Just like last week. The sus list is like all the sus people. And then the Christmas list is the joyous list. The merry list. This week, we're going to do Christmas songs. Top three Christmas songs. Last week, we did movies.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I thought it was a good discussion. Do you want to do the same way we did last week? Yeah, we'll do the same way we did last week. Three, two, one. And everybody leave your, because we had a bunch of good. Yeah, a lot of good Christmas movies people left way we did last week uh three two one and everybody leave your uh because we had a bunch of good yeah a lot of good christmas movies people left in the comments last week so please do that again with your favorite christmas songs and feel and even let us know is there a song that you think is like a like it's like the christmas movie discussion is there a song that
Starting point is 00:41:39 you think is a christmas song that no one says is a christmas song i kind of would like to see that side of things i want to see how people's break like the newest thing is that home alone is in a christmas movie i hate those people those people are rebuked what are you talking about yeah and listen this is coming from a diehard guy that thinks diehard is a christmas movie for the same reasons that people think home alone is a christmas movie and then i just saw frosty which is very much not a christmas movie it is so not a christmas movie it's crazy um but i'd love to see the song side of things so leave your your three songs and again subscribe thumbs up uh what is it subscribe thumbs up and i guess comment those are the three things we ask people to do on the youtube if they can yeah um i'll start off number three on my list is rocking around the christmas
Starting point is 00:42:20 tree by brenda lee this is a classic It is the most quote unquote classic on my list. I always think about home alone with this one. I always think about just the, the happy Christmas season. When you hear the beginning of the kind of course has come in, just everything about this says Christmas is here to me. Yeah. So I actually had a tie for three and I didn't know which one I was going to go with and rock around. The Christmas tree was one of them.
Starting point is 00:42:46 So I'll bump that to fourth because the, of the three is jingle bell rock. And they are, that was the other one I couldn't decide between. We're so linked. I swear to God. I almost said I got a tie for three between jingle bell rock and rocking around the Christmas tree. And the thing that,
Starting point is 00:43:01 in the beginning when it goes, like they start the same and I'm like, wait, is it jingle bell rock or rocking around the Christmas tree? And I'm with yous with me in the beginning, when it goes, like they start the same and I'm like, wait, is it jingle bell rock or rocking around the Christmas tree? And I'm with you right there with all the home alone stuff. And they give you the same exact Christmas, happy feeling in your stomach. I don't know how that's possible,
Starting point is 00:43:15 but they do the same thing. This is what made me go to jingle bell rock. Cause I still remember the first time I heard it was during an episode of growing pains, which makes me a fucking dinosaur admitting that. But I remember being like, holy fuck, what is this song? And then I just love how Jingle Bells is a song and then Jingle Bell Rock. I'm like, oh, this is the newer version of Jingle Bells.
Starting point is 00:43:35 So it like fucking blew my mind that we had like this level of Christmas music. And again, it just makes you feel great. So two songs that I'm not a big Christmas, like the classical, classical shit that are, you know, me neither, like religious or all that, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:51 like you're so old fart from like the forties singing it. That's just not my thing. So you'll see my two in one, you know, hammer that home. But yeah, so I'm, I'm very,
Starting point is 00:44:01 I'm excited to see how many people will be in the same boat. Cause do you get that too? You don't, you hear the beginning of the song and you're like, which one is this for? Like the first. Yeah. Yeah. My number two is a controversial one. I know it's going to be controversial. It's a song that I think splits people down the middle. Some people say I hate this song. It's the worst Christmas song ever. Some people say I love this song. And there are two Christmas songs by Beatles.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I'm going with one of them here. My favorite. It's Happy X-mas. War is over. John Lennon. Yoko Ono. I know people hate this one. For me, it's one of my favorites, if not my favorite.
Starting point is 00:44:34 I mean, there is one, in my opinion, undisputed goat of Christmas songs. But other than that, this is my favorite one. When I hear John Lennon say, so this is Christmas, I immediately start swaying. I take out a lighter. Even if I don't have one in my pocket, it just forms in my hand like Doctor Strange or Loki. Like, boom, here's a lighter. So this is Christmas. So I've always been cool with the song.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I would make my Christmas mixes back in the day, and that was one of the 20 or so songs. And then that was something I found out probably about five years ago. It's one of those things you learn on Twitter, how everyone hates it or something like that. And I was like, Oh shit. Like people hate both Beatles Christmas songs. Like the wonderful Christmas time by McCartney despise, which I'm not as big a fan of,
Starting point is 00:45:17 but I still listen to that one and I still enjoy it. Yeah. I, there was also a year where one of those CDs I had, it started skipping. And it played that song. And it played Last Christmas by Wham! like a thousand times. So it was one of those things where I can't, like, listen to it without having, like, PTSD.
Starting point is 00:45:35 So that is the only reason why I heard it. You're going through your Clint Barton mind there. Yeah, exactly. So that was interesting because, honestly, I thought you were going Dominic the Donkey when you were saying that. Oh, no. Oh, no. And I was going to say it. I don't want to hear any Dominic the Donkey slander. Bob, don thought you were going Dominic the Donkey when you were saying that. Oh, no. Oh, no. And I was going to say, I don't want to hear any Dominic the Donkey slander. Bob, don't you dare. I'm not a big Dominic the Donkey guy. Lou Monti, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:45:52 That's a fun song. You just got to have fun with it. People take Christmas too seriously sometimes. Some fucking holiday and candy canes and giving presents, being fun, and having a few fucking frozen drinks, Bob. We're going to get you to sing some Dominic the Donkey. It's like AJ's top three favorite song right now. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:10 It's on. I make mix for the kids whenever I'm in the car with them if we just need someone to, like, get them to chill out. And, like, if it's July and I'm like, I just need him to settle down, Dominic the Donkey goes on and he just stops screaming. It's like, oh, thank God, Dominic. Number two on my list. This can be controversial for a different reason because it's not by someone else.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Santa Claus is coming to town and people always go with the boss, right? Oh, spring season. I like the boss version. I think the boss version isn't very – doesn't touch. Doesn't touch the Jackson 5. Little young Mike. Those pipes just fucking, Santa Claus has come. It's fucking like cocaine just fucking shoved out like up your nose by fucking Chris Kringle. He's just punching it up your nose and getting you fucking full of the Christmas spirit.
Starting point is 00:46:57 I absolutely love that. Hollowed out a candy cane to sniff that cocaine up into. Exactly. All the Jackson 5 Christmas songs, I'm'm always a little it's a good call when you said when you said it's not the boss version i was like what the fuck you can go with and i forgot the jackson five version exists and of course it's so iconic yeah not if i just want some generic like version of santa claus no one's ever heard of it's just like the kind they play on the radio but uh i i don't know i'm a big jackson five i i still it's one of those things that you grow up with it's just part of life but i can't like
Starting point is 00:47:31 fathom having met like like growing up at a time where you're like oh yeah there's the jackson five that kid michael jackson and then like 20 years he's like the biggest icon on earth and i mean we see these child stars get bigger but like no one's ever approached michael jackson right and like even like your boy band guys you're like timberlakes it's like that's not one one millionth of what michael jackson was like harry styles after one direction like yeah again not one one millionth and he's the biggest star in the world right now like it's crazy it's crazy it's crazy so um and again when you're singing and then someone's like someone made a good point like they are jehovah witnesses and i don't know do jehovah witnesses celebrate christmas because it is kind of weird they have like christmas albums but hey man whatever fucking you move
Starting point is 00:48:11 units and it's a fucking made my christmas is always better here in the jackson five so i love that um number one do you want to do what we did last week and uh say it at the same time we were risking you know saying two different things and looking like idiots but I think we're on the same page here. Might be the end of the podcast if we say different songs. We're just going to put it out there, Bob. All right, we'll say it on three. One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:48:34 All I want for Christmas is you. I mean, if you don't think this is the go Christmas song, what are you doing? It's like people can try to think of different ways to spin things about how it's not or how it's actually bad how i'm sure there's people probably saying it's not a christmas song right yeah i'm sure yeah yeah it's the best it's the goat it's the greatest great the intro of this song oh my god the. Then when it goes into the. So good. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:08 The only problem with this song. And I can't believe I'm even starting a sentence like that, but it's like a fair, it's a fair thing to say is it's a victim of its own success. Because with that, you have, she made the next, she made another album where she like redid the classes.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Probably she just wanted to get another payday from it all, which Hey, God bless. But then obviously we had the new year's eve fiasco where she did that and that kind of is one of the memories you have is i think i blogged that at like 1205 and i was like i was the leader of barstool blogs for the year and i was alone at my you know i was with my at the house not partying like probably half of the company was at the time that's the reason i got it up but that was like that was a tough moment and mariah let's just say she's not aging gracefully in terms of like there's some tough scenes for her along the way that are just like oh i really
Starting point is 00:49:53 wish you weren't doing that but this is i mean i say it all the time not only is this the greatest christmas song of all time i think it might be the greatest song of all time. And it is the only Christmas song that I think not only can be played, but should be played every day, all 365 days of the year. I'll tell you, I play this occasionally in like July. And it hits even better in July. It's crazy. Christmas in July, yeah. Because it's a fucking, you get that same Christmas like fucking jolt.
Starting point is 00:50:23 But it's in the summer where everything's good because you're not freezing your ass off and, you know, worrying about buying people Christmas presents. So I think it's one of those songs that transcends the holiday, if not life. Fucking perfect song. I have a couple honorable mentions that I would like to throw out there, and these are all maybe some out there songs that I hope people haven't heard of before. Maybe they could check out for the first time and they're all pop punk Christmas songs for whatever reason. I'm a huge pop punk fan. For whatever reason, the genre is attracted to Christmas songs. People love doing pop punk Christmas songs. So my top three pop punk Christmas songs, my honorable mentions for this list is a Merry Christmas Kiss My Ass by All Time Low, Santa Stole My Girlfriend by The Main,
Starting point is 00:51:04 and I Won't Be Home for Christmas by Blink-182. Blink-182 has three Christmas songs, Happy Holidays, You Bastard, and Not Another Christmas Song, and all of them are very good. So I actually have a playlist. I've shared it on Twitter, and I'll share it again this week of just pop punk Christmas songs. It's like an hour long. So it's like a nice, if I were making a compilation album, now that's what I call pop punk Christmas. It's the songs that would be on that. So I'll share it nice, if I were making a compilation album, now that's what I call Pop Punk Christmas. It's the songs that would be on that. So I'll share it again, but check it out if you've never heard some Pop Punk Christmas songs.
Starting point is 00:51:31 So when you first said that, I thought you were saying Pop Punk. I'm like, are we getting a Pop Punk? I was going to say, we also have a Pop Punk Christmas song, Just One Christmas. I thought we were getting a full album. You were like announcing on the podcast. I'm like, this is kind of late in the game to be announcing it. You should have done that on Black Fridayiday again go listen to just one christmas
Starting point is 00:51:47 song we recorded that's funny uh let's see michael anything michael buble would be on my like uh you know also receive votes have a holly jolly christmas that is kind of in the same ilk as like the way i have yourself a merry little christmas i feel like it's classic at this point already that's one of those instant classics yep um is there any like i'm always down oh i'm always down for like you know your rudolphs and your frosties yeah i like a rudolph okay so this is it the the rudolph the red-nosed reindeer song song, the Batman version of it. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry, Jingle Bells, the Jingle Bells version of Batman.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Let me hear the Bob Fox that you grew up with. Jingle Bells, Batman Smells. Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, Robin Laid an Egg, Batmobile Lost a Wheel, and The Joker Got Away. Hey. That's the same for me. And my son, the next generation, was singing that too. However, I've noticed that there is a gap here.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And I think between my generation and your generation, there's another one where I think Mr. Freeze gets involved at some point. Mr. Free, well, fitting for the holidays. Yeah, I guess that doesn't make sense. Mr. Freeze, I didn't even know he was like a person until I was like 12 or 13 years old and I saw him in the cartoons. And then obviously we had Schwarzenegger. I want someone to do him right in live action so bad he's such a good villain in the cartoons so let's see uh here i here i go it's the most wonderful
Starting point is 00:53:16 time of the year just a classic fastball down the middle every time i hear that makes me think of a macy's or whatever yes yep yep um oh and. Oh, and Mr. Freeze Cut the Cheese. That's another version of that that, again, I've never heard of. Mr. Freeze Cut the Cheese and the Joker. Is that instead of Robin Laying an Egg? Because it doesn't really make sense for Robin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's instead of Robin Laying an Egg.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Exactly. So there's a bunch of different – I was ready to not like it, but it's all right. You're throwing farts out there. It's right. You know how comics get a variant cover? Yes. It's a variant cover. That's a good way to put it. And yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think of like,
Starting point is 00:53:54 like Last Christmas, are you pro or anti Last Christmas? I like the Jimmy Eat World version of Last Christmas. Okay. I feel like – Yeah. The original is a little too synth-y, like, I don't know, the way – I don't know. I'll get with some Frank Sinatras. I always feel like we're smoking a cigarette, drinking whiskey. I'm in Jersey City.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I should be saying, yeah, Sinatra, right across from Hoboken. Try Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Like, put that shit – you turn the volume all the way up when that comes on. Get excited. And we kind of alluded to it before i like going alternative styles of christmas songs i like myself some melikaliki maka like we it always reminds me of national lampoon's christmas which that's the scene for everyone who knows it was like you'd be watching it and then the chick would come out of the pool and then you're just like oh my god i'm doing this time i should and the other one's felice navidad i love police oh you're big police navidad guy i'm not i don't really like that song oh yeah sorry to say i had to be honest with you here i wish i could have lied and said
Starting point is 00:54:56 yeah i love it too but i really don't that's an automatic skip for me i can live with the dominic the donkey thing because it's kind of a silly song. Please, Navidad, Bob. That's just getting fucking fired up. It's like the Spanish Wonderful Christmas Time by McCartney just over and over again. I'm just going to think of better times. We were agreeing on Mariah Carey's song being the greatest song of all time. So, yeah, leave yours below. If it doesn't have Mariah on it.
