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. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by 3Chi and Barstool Sports and the penultimate edition of Hawkeye Recaps for My Mom's Basement. I said my words were all jumbled there, but it might be a COVID side effect we'll get into that this is the covid show i am here with clem it is uh thursday as we record this december 16th if you're listening to this on release day or release weekend even happy no way home weekend as well i know this is a thing that everyone's been waiting for forever we were waiting for forever at this point as of recording we'll break the fourth wall a little bit. We've both seen No Way Home. So we're in like a post. It's like after we saw Endgame.

It's like that feeling you have. You're like, oh, my God, we know all the secrets. This is what we've been waiting for forever. But, yeah, we're in a crazy state of mind to record the Hawkeye recap right now. We're both going to be the meme of the kid with the vein coming through his head, not saying anything about Spider-Man. Yeah, there will be no spoilers for Spider-Man. We won't say anything.

Of course not. We're going to do a recap on Monday. Let everyone get to see it this weekend. So you don't have to worry about that. But this is Bob Fox. Bob Fox is going to have two flu games because he's going to have this one and we're going to do Spider-Man

probably the next day or so. So then we have it out by Monday. And, you know, there's no rush because people see it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then in the Monday. But the thing is like the hype around Hawkeye and to everyone who was like tweeting at me and be like, Oh, Hawkeye. Like I try, I try not to like engage too much with stuff.

Cause I know stuff can show up on people's feeds. Like I hate the spoiler culture we're in, but at the same point, like I don't want to say anything about the episodes and people's radars are up again if you didn't know fucking if uncle king you didn't know uncle kingpin was coming you ain't listening to the podcast we were telling you that for fucking episode one we tell you who sucks we tell you who's the c word we were fucking money on all this one felt good i almost texted you after the episode see i i always like you said i don't know when to text you because like i don't want to give anything away but i wanted to text you just like a we did it.

We actually called something this time. You know, we throw a lot of shit at the wall and when something sticks, it's like, Oh, it's not. We are just, yeah.

The two idiot kids that keep doing something. And then when it finally hits, we're like, I told you we fucking like we're money, but a good, a really fun episode. Yeah. And the whole series as a whole, it's very unique.

I saw some people saying it is weird how you still feel like you're meeting villains as it goes along. But again, it's kind of like with WandaVision looking back. We're building a universe right now. We're not doing TV shows. You've got to think different than traditional TV. It's streaming. It's movies. The shit Spider-Man movies are coming out.

That's not even an MCU product. We already have Echo announced. That's a mini series that's already. So like, I feel like Echo and maybe I could be wrong about this. We don't know anything about it. I feel like Echo is going to be basically the sequel to Hawkeye. In my mind, you know, Kingpin will be in that show and Maya obviously will continue. So maybe Kate Bishop comes in. Maybe Yelena comes into that show as well. Like, I think that will

be the spiritual sequel to this. Before we get into that, though, let me tell everyone about 3C. 3C is the industry leader in Delta 8 THC. They are a federally legal version of THC. I tell you guys this all the time. It is the best in the business, not only because they have the best products in the industry, but because they invented the industry. The Delta 8 THC industry would not be as big as it is without 3C. That is a promise. Their products on their website, 3C.com, that's the number three, CHI.com, are amazing. Root beer taffies, gummies, new flavors in the gummies, disposable vapes, cereal treats,

brownies, cookies, edibles, everything you could imagine on 3Chi.com. It's like a Willy Wonka's chocolate factory full of 3Chi. It's the best stuff in the business. Like I said, you must be 21 or older to purchase. If you are, make sure you use this stuff responsibly. It's not just CBD. It is psychoactive. It will give you a buzz, a smooth buzz, a calm buzz. older to purchase if you are make sure you use this stuff responsibly it's not just cbd it is psychoactive it will give you a buzz a smooth buzz a calm buzz but a buzz nonetheless go to

3g.com right now use the promo code mmb at checkout and you will receive five percent off your order yeah i that you know i didn't think about that that would definitely make a lot of sense because you're living in again there's so many different worlds like we say the space world this is kind of the real life organized crime underbelly world and i think that's going to be you know like you said maybe hawker or a winter soldier that that kind of you know the same kind of genre bleeds together so i could see that kind of being the sequel but i found my comic books the other day i posted a few online and i had noticed i forgot about this because it's been so long since I've read comics, is I'd see like an X-Men and an X-Factor and then like a Fantastic Four.

And it's the same storyline with the same kind of artwork and execution or song or whatever it is. And it's the same thing between comics. And it's going to be like that, I think digitally with shows and movies and all that kind of content. And we're going to kind of see it and it's going to blend together so much more smoothly once they get everything up and running and there's not a motherfucking pandemic going on which again might be in like 2055 but at some point we might actually get out of COVID-19 by

the year 2079 so like hopefully in that time we'll get it all set up but like I love how we're building I feel like we're actually building something here and like you said this episode we're not getting like it's penultimate a lot of crazy shit happens i don't think we're getting a lot of resolutions at the end of next episode i think we're gonna have a guy who gets to see his kids on christmas eve maybe some presents being open and that's about it and then we're gonna have a lot more questions than answers by the time it's all said and done but that's for next week we got this week we got what's the name of the episode bob uh ronan right ronan i saw yes i wish it was the ronan again i love you know what i was surprised to see more ronan when you said last week like i would love one one or two more scenes of ronan we haven't seen enough of the ronan right i was like you

know what i i agree with that but i was like i can't see someone putting a suit on or another flashback sequence i was really thrilled to see like a badass ronin sequence and fight scene in this episode it's very cool our poor hawkeye too he probably heard the request he's like clem wants ronin he's like i don't got a lot in me i'll use like that that ronin he's not even like he's not running on oxygen and like food and water he's on just pure vengeance at that point after his family turned into dust so it's like it's not easy for a guy who's like hearing is going his body's breaking down to throw the suit back on but i did appreciate it clint so thank you very much it was like that scene where he's talking to the uh avengers

monument he's like i'm sorry nat i gotta do it like the cut line from the the feige cut is like i'm sorry clem i had to do it um so as i mentioned i've got covid which stinks i tested positive for it on the day that spider-man came out which was my worst fear and this is a thing you know it's the i think it's the omni omni crom whatever the fuck it is the decepticon variant you're diagnosing yourself with your with your strand here i'm diagnosing it because joe roby told you i mean i said that's going crazy in new york i figure i probably got it from people that it was around in new york or whatever so i'm diagnosing myself with that but i faced a brutal moral dilemma

that the basement listeners helped me with, which was like, all right, do I not see Spider? I'm not going to see Spider-Man tonight because I'm COVID positive. Barely any symptoms. I'm very lucky to have like barely any symptoms, just runny nose, a little bit of a fever, I think, but nothing crazy. I said, all right, I'm not going to be able to see Spider-Man. Do I wait to see it for another week until I'm COVID negative? And then maybe I get it spoiled. I mean, people were saying YouTube is already spoiling for people. People seeing stuff on Twitter.

They're saying you can't go unspoiled. Or does our worst enemy, what we thought was going to be our worst enemy save the day the fact that the movie was released internationally early and the fact that it allowed for bootlegs to hit the internet i hate to say because i know fuggie listens to the podcast i had to dip my toes in the water i had purchased tickets right so i gave them the money already. I purchased my tickets for opening weekend. But I did watch a bootleg. Clem saw it in theaters. I saw a bootleg.

Hopefully by the time we record our Spider-Man episode, I will have seen a bit of a clearer bootleg. I didn't miss anything plot-wise. But I told Clem, like, just anything at night, anything in the dark was a little bit hard to decipher what was going on. But I'll say this. I absolutely loved it. And I'm very excited to talk to Clem about it. And we'll talk about it on Monday. I assume you loved it as well.

I mean, how could you not? Yes, I loved it. No spoilers. I'll say I'm not going to put it up as tier one, which is like almost untouchable in my mind and game infinity war, like tier one, I'd say tier two, probably the next level down,

which is as close to that as you could get pretty much. Yes. And I think there was a lot of fun, cool moments that I think everyone, it's a fun movie. It's a very fun movie as well. It's a fun movie. Yeah.

KFC asked if I'd seen, I said, yeah. And I said, it's a fun movie. It's like, Oh, like that's it. And a fun movie, yeah. KFC asked if I'd seen it. I said, yeah. And I said, it's a fun movie. He's like, oh, like, that's it? And I'm like, I don't know how to say it. Like, I had fun with it.

It's not like a fucking masterpiece. It's not like, like, I could cry by the end of Infinity War. I felt like I had been, like, I made love to a movie. That's not like that. It's still fucking good. Oh, it was close for me. And maybe it was just the COVID. Maybe it was the Omicron.

That fever, you had a little bit of a fever sex going on i appreciate that bob oh my god yeah i texted my girlfriend i said there's webs all over the living room so yeah we're gonna i mean that's gonna be a deep dive and again like um it's thursday night we're recording hawkeye which again we got to give this the love it deserves but like i'm gonna have to dive deep into spider-man there's probably so much shit that i missed because i'm an idiot i was in a movie theater i'm we'll have plenty of work getting done on that on monday so it's gonna be i think it's gonna be an absolute uh absolute blast and then we roll into the hawkeye finale next so he gets fucking the the the spiky

train is fucking coasting again took a little break during covid and we're back i don't even know when the next movie is or tv show but we are fucking choo-chooing i think dr strange might be the next one and like it was gonna be march but then it got delayed so yeah i don't know when it is either but speaking of the the train keeps rolling after hawkeye we have book of boba fett i saw an article today where robert rodriguez said every piece of footage we've seen from Book of Boba Fett is from the opening sequence of the first episode because they can't show anything past halfway through the first episode it would be too big a spoiler he said so that is just a little tease to make everyone excited as well we've seen nothing from that show he says like it changes the universe too right

like changes the Star Wars universe are we gonna have a whole bunch of baby Yoda's now? Like that's how my mind thinks. I'm like, we're going to have more baby Yoda's. The basement is going to be. Baby Chewbacca. Yeah. Oh God, Bob, don't you tease. Don't you tease the thought of a baby. I think that was an original idea before baby.

Like when they were like, there will be a baby in the show, the Mandalorian. I think they played with baby Wookiees. Oh God. I would give anything to see a little baby wookie they're probably so fucking cute oh not so cute in the holiday special well they're kids they're not babies but they're creepy yeah yeah a bit creepy um let's get into hawkeye let's make some more time we start this episode in 2018 we see yelena another widow trying to cure a former widow and she winds up like already being cured.

This was a bit confusing, uh, like for me to wrap my head around because they spray her with the gas. She's like, ah, you messed up my carpet. I'm like, oh, you're not brainwashed. She's like, oh no, you thought I was brainwashed by a rich guy or whatever. And they're like, yeah, whatever. Yelena goes to the bathroom and she gets blipped. We love blip content on this podcast we always talk about how much we love scenes to the snap this was one of the best ones they did i thought because it really captured the confusion around like that moment how weird it would be because at first i was like what the fuck is going on is this multiverse like are they doing magic on this show and then it clicked and i was like oh i'm a fucking idiot she faded away she came back it's the blip but when she comes back and you know she's just like in these people's

house five years later it captured oh my god this would be the most confusing moment in the history of the universe i became flat out tommy boy chris farley that was awesome like again all the blip content foggy keep it coming it doesn't have to be every single series doesn't have to be every episode movie but throw in a little you know dash i saw the 2018 because they said it was 2018 and a little light it wasn't on this light the light in this brain you have to tap it a couple times for it to go on but it was like flickering and then when i go oh wait oh she's gonna blip and then as soon it happened, I felt like the smartest man alive for something that was core that was telegraphed to probably 95% of the listeners right now. Um, I absolutely loved it.

And I love just the difference where it's a different guy out there, but then the woman's around and it's like, Oh, Hey, like you disappeared. Um, the change of like painting, I would love to see someone who looked at my house, like before kids and then after kids, and they see like, you know, still the same big dumb asshole but it's like just like the bags under my eyes i've got on my chin now and it's like there's toys everywhere there's fucking wipes on the ground like packages of wipes for the fucking diapers just an absolute scene and i liked again like so so much happens in i mean fuck five years you've been barstool five years right think about bob fox five years yeah crazy that would in basketball five years, right? Think about Bob Fox five years ago.

Crazy. That would be a crazy blip. I would be like, what the fuck? She acts to find Natasha. She's brought up in this scene, and she's brought up throughout this episode. She actually opens the episode. Natasha's voice you hear. Kate comes home distraught in the Hawkeye universe back in our normal timeline from this fight,

and eleanor health bandage her up um in this conversation kate tells eleanor about jack and right away you could tell this bitch is not surprised she's just she has that look of like oh god my daughter found out so all right she's like yeah okay i'll have someone look into it honey uh we cut to maya she's bandaging up from the fight as well she got shot with the arrow we said last week it offended her so she left reminded that there's that fighter rough and rowdy that i don't know if you saw he got his foot stepped on and then punched and he was like he stepped on my foot and he punched me we were like so you quit and he's like hey punch me

like it was a fight you signed up for a boxing match that's what maya did she got shot with an arrow and she was like you fucking hurt me. She took her ball and went home. She's talking to Kazi. And he says, this has got to stop. Like, what are we doing hunting down the Ronin? She's like, you know, steadfast on her mission still. I loved the, or I didn't love it.

It drove me crazy. Kate's spilling the beans to the sus queen. And I'm like, what are you doing? I'm like, I wanted to be like, oh, well, it's your mom. If it's your mom, you know that bitch is sus as a motherfucker. The fact that I have to point it out to you, Kate, I'm a little sus of Kate now. Like, not that she's a villain. I'm like, how are you going to be my new Hawkeye if you can't smell out that the woman who's raised you is the sussest motherfucker on the planet?

So that drove me absolutely crazy. Too much trust in her mom, way too much trust. Exactly. So that, that, that drove me nuts. Um,

and then an echo kind of bandaging up. That's the perfect way to put it. The dude who's just straight up fucking wanted a DQ for boxing at a boxing match. When that happened in real time, I swear to God, I thought of echo at this Hawkeye. And I was like,

do I make this reference on commentary? And I was like, no fucking way are people going to get this? There's going to be i thought of echo at this hawkeye and i was like do i make this reference on commentary and i was like no fucking way are people gonna get this there's gonna be a couple basement listeners that would have been like leo pointing at the screen but that would have been it um kate comes to her apartment she comes home to her apartment which is all charred up from the whole fire and yelena is there shuts the door behind her she's like i made macaroni that was a long fight like sit down she's got hot sauce and the macaroni and stuff and it's weirdly a very calm conversation for a while but there's like that little animosity in the air we just fought there's tension where it's like are you here to kill me and it eventually gets diffused basically when she's like if I wanted

to kill you you would have been dead the second you walked in the door. And Kate realizes that. Yelena clearly knows a ton about Kate. She shows off with the information. She reveals herself as Natasha's sister. And she's like, what are you doing with Clint? He fucking killed my sister. Like, he's a murderer.

What did he do to get you on his side willing to die for him? Kate obviously doesn't believe any of this. She jumps out the window like Catwoman or something. She does like a free fall. And this was an awesome scene, I thought. It really showed off the humor of Florence Pugh as Yelena talking about Rudolph. Have you ever eaten a reindeer before? That was very funny around the holidays, right?

And it was like such a almost Loki-esque conversation for me, where I was like, we're in the penultimate episode, and the largest chunk of this episode is just being spent like we're sitting at a table across from each other talking. It was like the dialogue was what carried it, and I loved that about it. And Florence Pugh, obviously, we talked about her with the Black Widow review last week even a little bit she's a new breakout star of the MCU very funny I like the whole thing like hey girls

not like I'm going to New York and my first time in the city New York going to Rockefeller fuck MP don't you trust MP that guy is a fucking snake that guy would have fucking you know blown up your whole family out in Russia if it it was up there, you probably would have thrown your sister on board mirror twice and didn't even ask for the stone. But the, and the, I just love like, again, it's like, it's really, it was like relatable shit. It's and trust me, I'll say this. I probably would have lost my mind if I had,

if I didn't think that everything's going to weave together with between all the content. I'm like penultimate. We're talking for like 10 minutes straight. We have no action no action but again i kind of like dig that kind of stuff that's that's just as much as fun to me as the fight scenes and all the action and stuff like that um i was wondering what kind of uh mac and cheese she made do you think it's homemade mac and cheese i'll tell you no it's got to be craft box mac and cheese, I think. That's the thing. Kate, college student. College student Kate.

Now, college student Kate, but rich, fancy Kate too, right? I'm telling you what it is, Bob. I was just setting you up. I guarantee it was the white cheddar Ami's mac and cheese. You know, I'm talking about the little bunny rabbit on it. And that's the first time I learned to trust organic food, which I mean, it's still powdered macaroni and cheese. I don't know how it's organic.

It's whatever like the lowest bar for organic is like there's no pesticides in it, but it's the lowest bar to get the O word on the box. I thought you were going to say it was like reheated takeout, like leftovers. Oh, yeah. She ordered in from a restaurant $30 pasta or something. I'll tell you what. Easy Mac, by the way, great Mac and cheese. It's like, I had that in college.

Did you ever like the little cups, the little cups? Yeah. I love them. Absolutely love them. You know, they have the little like craft macaroni and cheese ones now, and they sell them in a lot of hotel,

like lobby shops. So whenever I'm on the road, that's like a surefire thing for someone with a weird stomach where I'm like, yeah, I'll pop this right in the microwave. It's Mac and cheese. It's great.

It's perfect. And like, it's the it's the is the greatest like tip of the cap for modern science that we can make something that good and it's like so creamy but it's not creamy like you know milk and it was done with all this like you know this this cow that was raised right we got milk it's like no they've perfected the chemical to make that cheese fucking powder go with water. And it fucking melds together with the macaroni. It becomes like cheese. Literally.

It's like the, it's like the fucking razzles, the candy that becomes gum. It just blows your mind. You're like, Oh my God. And I just want to make this admission. Cause she mentioned it in conversation.

There's people that love hot sauce and everything. I've had enough of those people. If you like hot sauce and everything, they always tell you that love hot sauce and everything i've had enough of those people if you like hot sauce and everything they always tell you they like hot sauce and i don't need to know you like hot if you do good they make a scene out of putting it on their eggs in the morning and all yeah yeah yeah like we get it we you know like if you do it god bless you i'm not one to do it but like and same like i like to throw ketchup on some stuff i don't like anything on my eggs i don't like ketchup i don't like hot sauce i just like whatever a little bit of salt yeah salt and pepper i'll do some yeah that's it I don't like anything on my eggs. I don't like ketchup. I don't like hot sauce. I just like whatever. A little bit of salt. Yeah, salt and pepper.

I'll do some of that. That's it. You don't have to let everyone know you fucking like hot sauce. It doesn't make it cool. It's fucking hard. What are you doing, CrossFit with your hot sauce? Yeah. Meanwhile, Kate here, 3.8 GPA, double major.

There's someone who should be throwing that one around. She's like, oh, I have fucking 3.8. Kind of hard-o. Kind of a hard-o thing. But nonetheless, we love our Kate. That's our future hawkeye we're gonna learn to embrace here yeah absolutely so hawkeye goes speaking of embracing people i'm really embracing grills he goes to grills apartment he's just the man he's just a chill dude always down to like hang out it seems always down to hook hawkeye up with pizza or whatever he says he's got new uh costumes

hawkeye passes on seeing him. They're making us wait until the finale. I think we've seen basically what we're wearing in the cartoons here. I think that's probably what they're going to look like. I would love it if they make Hawkeye the stupid helmet that he wears in the comics, and he tries it on. He's like, no, I'm not wearing this. Just something funny like that, them giving us, I would love.

So he chills with the pizza dog. I saw people posting memes of when just something funny like that. They, them giving us, I would love. Um, so he chills with the pizza dog. I saw people posting memes of like when the dad doesn't want the dog, but then winds up loving it. Yes. They were funny. Um, Jack is arrested in Eleanor's apartment. He's acting so strange as he is.

He's like, it literally seems like he's acting. It seems like he's like reading from a script or something. He's like, Oh, don't worry, Eleanor. Obviously I'm being framed. This will all work itself out. It seems like he's reading from a script or something. He's like, oh, don't worry, Eleanor. Obviously, I'm being framed.

This will all work itself out. It's going to be fine. Clint goes and talks to this monument like we talked about at Grand Central. It says the Avengers stood here, which they should fucking put that monument there in real life. That would be awesome. Absolutely awesome. I mean, that would be a tourist attraction. That would bring money to the city.

That would help our economy. Right. Whoever the fucking mayor is at this point, install that. And he says, sorry, I'm about to go back to the old me fucking Bugs Bunny meme. Yeah, I was wondering if you could make the Bugs Bunny meme, but they just have the Ronin sword there. I was so happy for grills in that moment when it's like, oh, shit. It's like instead of the girl coming back, it's like the superhero that you fell in love with came back. He wants to crash on his couch. And Hawkeye doing like, oh, I have a hotel.

No, no, no. Stay on the couch. And you know Hawkeye enjoyed the company when he was like, all right, I'll stay on the couch. He was wanting that invite. And he's a pops, man. He doesn't need a fancy he's gonna be able to sleep on that couch he has the pooch with him gets like the fucking companionship uh and like you said jack almost was like almost said like laugh here like he was like reading off the

script and doing the wolf the fucking anchorman ron burgundy thing like reading right off the script we had someone uh dowd hit me up on twitter he's like that scene lasted no joke like a minute and that was it they never got into it. Didn't explain more about it or how the mom called the cops. A lot of stuff's going on in that scene. A lot of stuff didn't make a lot of sense. I mean, did he even get arrested? Were those paid actors in front of Kate?

And that was what I was going to say. They got fucking Kingpin's mob mafia members to put on police outfits and take them out of the apartment for her? I should go back and like, I didn't even think about looking at, like, if they even, I guess they could be, like, high-quality fakes. It's something you would, like, notice. I wonder if you, like, you look and they don't even have, like, an NYPD patch, even though I'm sure they could. But just to kind of hammer at home that, like, yeah,

these guys are low-rent fucking actors, basically. We're so sus of these people. So sus. These are, like, Bob the Goons of fucking Kingpin, which, by the way, we just did, if you're listening to this on release day, released yesterday, a Batman Returns commentary with my older brother for the holiday season. That is a Christmas movie.

We confirmed it on the commentary. It's on the YouTube page. It's on the podcast feed. One of my favorite episodes in a while because it was just like a two-hour chill session. Those commentaries just wind up being so much fun because they're so long yeah and like you watch it with us or you could just like i've had people say like i i don't watch the movie i just listen and we're talking the movie but we're also talking batman stuff we're talking comic we're talking like just chewing the shit and just rant christmas stuff and then we kind of

just go along that thread of conversation there so it's a good time and we had you had a 25 fun facts for us and uh bro dukes brought the heat as always it was it was an advent calendar of bat facts i called it in the blog um before we get this memorial though i need this memorial the more i'm thinking of it like i don't even need the plaque and we'll see like a shield the oh yeah the actor the hammer like just like and not like life size, but you know, something like a little thing there that kind of marked all the heroes of New York. I mean, come on. It's fucking like this shit. Life is so depressing now.

Let's just get like a little bit of happiness. It's just fake shit, you know, from a fake universe. It's fucking, I'm telling you, man. And also, think about this. If you're the city, right? You install, you erect a real person a statue of them they could get canceled they could do something later in life where it's like i don't know if we should we have to take that down it's gonna cost the city extra money fictional characters aren't gonna get

canceled they're heroes for the end of time we saw tony stark's whole life great guy he ain't getting canceled whoa great guy tony stark great guy It is, as we're recording this, the anniversary of Bucky killing Tony's parents. So we got a tweet from that and I saw it as I was leaving the movie theater. I didn't have time to retweet it but I was going to fucking get in that ass Rocky Bucks. I was ready to get on you like you motherfucker.

Not only did you take down an American hero in Howard Stark. His goddamn innocent wife and he didn't say a thing. Cap didn't say a goddamn thing. I bit my tongue because I was so fucking, like, had so much to compete for in Spider-Man that I didn't do it. So, after the podcast, you guys are going to see that tweet come

to get comfy during these covid times just fucking get your bare bottoms everyone's happy yeah um we have a very funny tracksuit mafia scene where they're just in the truck talking back and forth they're like we look like the royal tenenbaums They're like, we look like the Royal Tenenbaums. And he's like, really? You look like the Royal Tenenbaums? No, we don't look like them. He's like, yeah, we do, man. And then an arrow comes right through the window, and it has a note in it, which is another just cool trick arrow where it's like the little scroll comes out of it.

And it says that the Ronin wants to meet with Maya. And they're like, but we're not Maya. Just kind of a funny thing right there and clint before the meeting gives his wife one last call and i gotta say laura barton she is why they created the term ride or die we say it week in and week out but she's like if we had the opposite of the sus list she's someone you want on your team you put her on every team because it's just like oh yeah you're in for whatever we're doing. Ride or die.

And if you need someone killed, she'll do that and dig the body for you. That is fucking like, oh, love. Absolutely love her. And I'm falling more in love with her every single episode. I know she's the best.

She's one of the, like the sneaky best characters. And it seems like they filmed like one day with Laura, uh, Linda Cardellini. And it's like, she got some of the best scenes uh, Linda Cardellini. And it's like, she got some of the best scenes in it. Randomly.

She nailed it. And the tracksuit guys, like they're not going to like be depth, deep characters. They're going to be exactly what they are. And again, Jose has prepared us for this. He makes this so much easier to like digest.

Cause we might, I might've been like, Oh, these guys are this or that, but he's like, no, this is the way they are in the comics. Like,

Oh, that's fine. Then trust a joke. Yeah. Did you notice the trust a bro is the name of the trust a bro moving company that's the name of the trucks that they have in this thing which i did because you know bro bro bro so again those little so those little things there that jose has like really accentuated the enjoyment of the mcu for us absolutely clint's wife is awesome that's all i did i just wrote

clint's way of i don't know how else to like say it you just said if it's ride or die to the fucking bones we get this awesome Ronan ambush ahead of the confrontation with Maya like Maya's got tracksuit mafia guys Kazi headed up on the on the billboard and she thinks that she's gonna have the jump on Ronan not on the Ronan Ronan comes in he gets kazi on the billboard he gets tracksuit mafia guys behind the cars and then he has this confrontation fight with maya which is awesome total samurai vibes the whole time she like opens the fight by like throwing a magazine at him on the gun and you see it fly through the air and stuff very cool at the end of it he kind of gets the upper hand he reveals himself he takes the hood off and he signs to her and he's like you and i are the same i wanted you

to see who i am we're just weapons she's like you're a fucking monster he killed my father and he says i was hired by your boss to be there that night it's like whoa she turns on him when he says that kate saves him with an arrow and she grabs an uber which was one of my favorite random seasons like you got a getaway car and then the guy turns around he's like are you kate and she's like yeah you alejandro or whatever like it was just a very like kate bishop thing another thing that makes you like that character and maya immediately confronts kazi she's very sus of him she like, why weren't you there the night my father died? Because there was apparently

an informant or whatever. There was a tip-off. So, whoo! What a scene. Oh, doggy. Ronan doing Ronan. The Ronan doing the Ronan things. I think that kind of makes sense. Again, that's probably the last we're going to see of him. I'm happy we got a little taste.

It's MJ in his last year before he hangs it up. I'm talking – and listen, I'm not even talking Bulls MJ. I'm talking Wizards MJ. But everyone forgets Wizards MJ, he had the two-handed block on Ron Mercer back in the day. Wizards MJ could still get some shit done. That's our The Ronin right there. He fucking still got shit done, got me excited. And Kate is like – she's getting into this superhero thing.

She's getting the this superhero thing she's getting into the getting the hang of it all and it is weird i noticed this when um even eleanor was talking to her it is kind of weird how it's like the word superhero when there's this person has no superpowers right yeah she's like do you think you're a superhero she's like no and clint doesn't either or whatever yeah and that's probably that was probably her fishing for no no no you are a superhero it's like no your mom's a bitch how did you not know because he's a sus bitch she would never say that so uh again i just love the vibe and like you said the uber getaway scene it was like a modern very like real and relatable that's fucking kate's kate's tagline is gonna be like for the common hero by

the common hero like she's nothing fancy she calls an uber she doesn't know going to be like, for the common hero, by the common hero. She's nothing fancy. She calls an Uber. She doesn't know what to do. That's what a college kid would do if she's really good at archery. She probably thought that was like an awesome escape. She was like, yeah, the fucking Uber's here already. Can you believe that? We don't have to wait a minute for this thing.

It's linked to your credit card, Kate. It knows everything about you. Your phone is linked to it. If the tracksuit mafia could find us, they'd want it to right this second. Kaz, big time so the worst um kate tells clint about yelena in the back of the uber he has some familiarity with her she's like she said she was natasha's sister and he's like oh yelena so she's obviously natasha had that conversation with him at some point and then we get this shot of Yelena following the sus-ass Eleanor through

courtyard we go back to Kate and Clint they're chilling they got grills with them right they get the pizza dog looks like a good happy ending to this episode and then she gets a text and it's from Yelena and it's like Kate Bishop I have some bad news for you I just took this this is your mom this is who hired me and it is eleanor with kingpin and i gotta say we called it but what made the kingpin reveal so amazing was in my mind was jeremy renner's delivery of well that's the guy we've been worried about this whole time like when he said that you could hear the my God, we're fucked in his voice. You know, like it was amazing. It's when you're like, you're hoping it's not the bad news.

You're hoping it's not the worst case scenario. And then you're like, fuck. There's me with the COVID test. I was like, well, that's the thing I was worried about this whole time. Rob got the two lines on the thing. Like he's pregnant. You have COVID. Fuck.

That was me. And then they followed it up with the Grinch song, which was absolutely. Yeah, you're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. Oh my God. It was good. Fucking chef's kiss. And you know what, Bob? I appreciate it more because, and again,

I know there's people in the basement who won't get it, this reference, but in How I Met Your Mother, which was one of the shows that I used to love back in the day um there's an episode where uh marshall who's uh jason siegel and lily who's allison hannigan they like are dating and he uh ted actually excuse me i think he calls her a grinch but he's like except i didn't use the word grinch but they say grinch grinchy grinch grinch and he doesn't say what it is but i think we know what grinch is. He's like, it's the worst word you could basically call a woman, this and that. That's what Eleanor is.

Eleanor is earmuffs for the kids. Ready? Eleanor is a cunt. Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt. C word fucking. We're past a red. We're past a maroon. We're past threat level midnight. She, Eleanor is a cunt. She hired the

motherfucking kingpin. She brought the kingpin into her world. Cunny, cunny, cunny. Cunny, cunny, cunny. Nobody isolate that. Great episode, though. Great penultimate. Leads us into the finale. I'm excited for that.

I have COVID. That's an excuse for me. Oh, God. I have two kids sleeping right above my head right now, and I'm fucking making songs out of the sea. But you know what? It just feels. To be right for once, I got a dead dog.

I was sus. I had this innocent old grandpies. You were honestly due. I was due for one, man. When you just keep throwing shit in the wall in fantasy, and the gets 25 points like i knew he had it in him i knew it i have i've been taking it like daniel jones i'm riding the damn wagon by myself the shiv wagons off the fucking rails i got it with the fucking c wagon though shout out eleanor you fucking cut do we have a sus list this week or is it just eleanor so eleanor is number one

on the sus list we're gonna start off first and foremost with that um number two on a sus list this week or is it just eleanor so eleanor is number one on the sus list we're gonna start off first and foremost with that um number two on the sus list again i forgot this until i remember when i blogged our last episode we had jack basically as like he was right above clint yeah like we really warmed up to him too much yeah it's like our hearts are too big yeah yeah he's not It's not the suspect. It's like we're going to say like a suspect. Like I'm on to you, but I'm not going to say sus. Like, but it's like, it's such. I know that, you know, that I might know that you're trying to fool us right now.

Yeah. And it's just remember the lozenge. We never get that shit. I have like an accent. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. It's fucking weird. And the fake pretty good with the sword, too. Yes. Real good with a sword too yes real good with the sword um and then kaz i think that's more of a thing with uh

my god i just call her echo at this point like that it's always the guy that didn't get the call which like makes me think of departed right like it's that kind of same kind of buyer for miga yeah yeah exactly who someone said like you have to shout her out because she plays the sus role so well. And it's great. She has those eyes, like those fucking cutting eyes. That's why she was able to play Liv Soprano, who was like such a mean woman. So well, she's an awesome actress.

I love her for fucking character. Wasn't such a cunt. I can just say that now. It's honestly out there. Yeah, I say it in the blog. Whenever I write about soccer or anything in England, I'm like, oh, I can say this because the c word in england is like calling i want to bitch here so like it's it's it's allowed i've normalized it i've been in the pool i'm warm now it's like it's it's out there we're big oasis fans yeah it's just yeah there was a couple things here i don't know if we had like we didn't do a

mailbag or anything like that but a couple people said like like eric eckstein um and then uh a couple other people said like the bees around the apartments hexagons drinking out of cups there's a lot of stuff out there and then any bourbon said eleanor do we think she was calling elaine with yelena but i think that was the big man she was calling yeah is that what we're gonna go back to yeah okay maybe not though because didn't you lean his text say that like this is who hired me yeah so there is still a chance right yeah she probably did yeah so there's a lot of ways that can go okay you're on our radar we're not saying we're right we're not saying we're you know we know what's going on but just

want to know if that happens we called it if it didn't we'll just throw twitter under the bridge we didn't know what the fuck we were talking about all right and now we're going to get into our christmas countdown this week is going to be a unique one last week we did movies we did uh music so like those we had the same number one answer for both very similar stuff this one i think we're going to have three completely out there, different answers. Cause we're going to do a top three Christmas toys or gifts, I guess. Right. Like toys. I'd say toys.

I kind of had toys on my list. It's toys. I have one that would be considered, I guess, more of a gift and then the rest is just toys, but it's a, it's the same kind of thing. And this,

again, the dog walk, they did their toys draft. If you haven't listened yet, KFC was the gas. They had was a great inspired by that yep inspired by that and uh i think the one non um quote unquote toy they drafted as a toy so i guess that would be considered a toy so um let me hear bob fox's number three here i was gonna say i feel like i i might know what that is so i was was going back and forth on a bunch of mine because I kept thinking back to like, what did I like always ask for for Christmas? But for my Christmases, it usually wasn't me asking for one big gift. It was usually like themed.

So if I was super into Star Wars one year, I would want like just all the new action figures and I would get like whatever. If I was super into Indiana Jones one year, I remember I got the new Lego set, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which is a movie that people hate. But the actual Kingdom Lego set was like the biggest one. I loved it. Right. So I had a lot of stuff like that. And my first one is going to be one from when i was really into batman and this is like a double gift because they were like two or three maybe three separate years where this was a big gift

and it's the bat cave playset itself it's a big playset kid growing up and when you get a good bat cave when you get wayne manor in front of it we talked about it in batman returns i had one from my brother growing up and then i got some myself. Every Batcave I owned got played with until it was like, you know, all marked up, all it had been invaded by the Joker 17 times. The Batmobile had been stolen. So number three on my list, the Batcave. The Batmobile lost its real and Joker had gotten it. You actually played that out in real life. I love it. So mine is kind of same ilk, I guess. And we've talked about it in the podcast with Lars.

It was Castle Greyskull. And the only reason it's probably not higher is I think I was really young when I got it, but I remember it being all set up. It probably, like my dad probably built it the night before, which, hey, parents, new parents, future parents, build whatever you can the night before. Get the batteries in it. Do as much construction as you can. I've had this conversation today.

Give Santa one big gift, maybe two. Don't give the big man all that credit. The big man is basically their god in December. You're the one paying the bill, though. Santa doesn't fucking come unless you are still a believer somehow and he's real december don't you you're the one paying the bill though santa doesn't fucking come unless you are still a believer somehow and he's real i don't know but in my world i'm paying for a lot of the toys that are in that locked room right now so santa he gets he gets like one i think it's two big toys from us maybe like a small one here or there

don't give santa don't let santa take all the credit he gets he's basically the guy you weaponize but my dad i think he probably built castle Grayskull the night before. And like you said, I didn't do this growing up, but I remember going to other kids' house and they would like booby trap the castle. They'd have like stuff from around. They build their own like netting or traps,

the skeletor thing. So those play sets were always so cool. And actually I was just out the other day looking for, I had to get AJ an ornament and they had a Super Mario Bowser's Castle. Oh, wow. And I'm going to get – that's going to be a birthday thing because I don't really think he needs another Christmas present. And his birthday is in April. So he's really gotten into Mario Brothers.

So we think – and then you can buy all the figures. And I kind of want to see if he gets into action figures. That's his whole Christmas is Mario and Sonic. That's awesome. Like we got him all the figures. Oh my God, he's going to go crazy. We got him some of the new video games and stuff. So yeah, he's going to lose his mind. Hell yeah.

My number two pick is another play set, I guess. But it's a bit different. And I think anyone around my age will be able to relate to this if you grew up a wrestling fan. And that is the Hell in the Cell playset. When this came out, oh my God, it was a big thing. It had the breakaway ceiling so you could do the Mankind through the ceiling. You could throw someone over the cage like Mankind, right? This, I went back and forth.

Do I put this one or do I put the Money in the Bank ladder match playset, which came with a bunch of new ladders breakable ladders and it came with like if you're watching on the podcast you could see it or if you're watching on youtube you could see on the podcast sorry it had like these spikes above the ring that went above it and then it had a string where you could actually put titles or a briefcase and have like ladder matches above the ring which was huge because growing up i would literally have my mom god bless mama fox so we talked about in the batman returns commentary being a saint she would she's great like sewer always has been she would get her string from her sewing kit

wrap it around my toy championship belt and scotch tape it to the ceiling so i could have ladder matches and this was like not like like a one or two times thing. This was like a pretty common thing, like a couple times a week, maybe a couple times a day at some points, like we had a ton of ladder matches. So when the Money in the Bank play set got released, that was big. But I'm going to go with the Hell in a Cell for my official number two pick. I dig that.

That makes me feel ancient because like the Hell in a Cell became a thing as I was already like out of the toy phase of my life. But that's just, that's the difference here. And I had the, I remember when the ring was like a new thing, like at least for WWF toys. And we would bring, someone would bring the ring to school. Everyone would bring their figures. You'd have like Hulk, you'd have a Legion of Duke,

you know, and everyone would bring their guys and you just smash them in the little cafeteria. Just so much fucking fun. My number two, and this is the one that toy, not a toy. And it was a bike. So, oh, I thought you were going to say a Nintendo. Okay. So no, no, no, not a Nintendo.

This was a, I remember it's just like, it's the memories you have, right? It's all about that. I remember we opened all our gifts and we were all thrilled. My parents are like, oh, I think Santa like left something downstairs. And we all went downstairs, myself, my brother and my sister. And it was like a bike for me, you know, probably like a two wheeler or it might have training wheels. And my sister had one that was, you know, and then my brother probably had like a little

scooter because he was like, like tiny at the time. And it's just one of those things that's like that was the fucking hammer on a great christmas and that's the one thing i always said and i thought about this when i was listening to the dog walk drip like they were talking about bikes or like pool basketball things or slipping slides i remember they were talking about it does hurt when you can't use the present immediately like i remember we were in the garage just riding in circles it's like no room at all but it does kind of hurt the gift but you can't use it immediately and i'm sure it wasn't like unseasonably warm at that point so uh bike though it's like that's like a that's like a you're

going to the next phase of life right now you know we did that with sienna and it's like shit you're old enough for a bike and then we had to get her a two-wheeler last year so um bike like that's burned in my head and actually i wanted to to ask you this question, too, since it relates to Christmas gifts. Did you ever look for gifts or mistakenly stumble upon like a treasure trove of gifts? Definitely never looked for them. And I don't think I ever did, to be completely honest. I don't think I ever because I this is actually funny. I had the conversation with my mom and like my girlfriend.

My girlfriend mentioned that she knew where her mom would hide the gifts. And I said to my mom like a month ago, like, where did you hide the gifts? She's like in the laundry room. You didn't know that? I was like, no. Well, apparently what she would do is she would put like all of the gifts in like black contractor bags and just shove them in the back of the laundry room. So they like looked like garbage i guess yep and she had to like explain this to me as a 23 year old man so no

i'd never stumbled upon my gifts which like i'm happy i didn't because it made you know they were all surprises and stuff and like like you said about the bikes it's a classic christmas memory if your parents ever pull that christmas story shit on you like i think there might be one extra gift like they pulled that on me when i got like my first smartphone which was the the psp phone forget what it was called but like the phone looked like an iphone kind of but it slid out and it had like a psp controller instead of a keyboard i never well i should say i never used it i didn't use it much because it would just eat up battery like crazy very cool idea though and when you open it on christmas it's like a fucking psp phone it was awesome that's the old steve jaws but one more thing right going on my parents i this actually funny is i think it was a wrestling thing my mom had like this workout belt

and it looked the way it was shaped it looked like a championship belt so i'd use it to like you know i'd act like i'm a wrestler i'd get my wrestling buddy out that would be my title and i think i was looking for it in her closet once and i stumbled upon like a toys r us bag that had like you know a ton of gifts and it like broke me when i got those gifts you know a couple of those gifts under the tree and i think i looked one other time after that because my brother's six years younger so they kept the whole santa ruse going for a while and i think I looked one other time after that because my brother's six years younger so they kept the whole Santa ruse going for a while and I think I found it one other time I probably found like a couple like not like you know

the number one gift it was terrible I wouldn't wish it like it ruins Christmas for you know what I mean it was bad news bears which some people could say I did that to myself for Spider-Man but you know what I was fucking forced to it was COVID. Fuck COVID.

People were saying you put on a Mysterio helmet and go to the theater, which cracked me up. Mysterio helmet, imagine that. I actually thought, what can I wear to the theater if I really had to go? Like, is there anything they've come up with yet? I guess Mysterio helmet would be the closest thing. My number one. This is something that I played with my entire childhood. It's something I got for Christmas when I was probably three years old, probably when I was four years old, probably when I was seven years old.

I wound up owning a bunch of them. You could say a collection of them. I played with them in the winter. I played with them in the summer. I played with them in the spring, in the fall, with my brother, with my sister, with my cousins, with my uncles, with my aunts. And it's a simple one. It's the retractable blade lightsaber. This is an absolute gift to humanity. Whoever thought of the, it looks like a hilt and then you pull down on the little red button and go like that and then it comes out, flings out. What an idea.

We would have lightsaber battles, you know, hit each other into the pool. It'd be like, oh, you fell into the lava. Have them in the basement running up the stairs. Anakin, I got the higher ground. It seems like such a simple one because it is. Sometimes the best toys are the simplest. Sometimes the best wiffle ball bat in the world is that little skinny yellow motherfucker. Everyone knows that, right?

The simplest, most fastball of a thing. I have videos of me opening these when I was four. I remember when I got the Darth Maul one and it's like, holy fuck. Now I got the double bladed one. Like what? Getting new colors was a great deal. So I have just so many great memories of lightsaber duels as a kid that I got to go with a lightsaber.

It's hard to argue that I bought, I bought Luke's when I, you know, when the, I think it was when the, the re they re-released the special editions. And I was like, I got to get a fucking lights.

Cause that's when I really started getting into star Wars. I didn't grow up with a huge star Wars fan, but once they came, they came back out in the theater, I really got into them big time. And then I bought the sword and the kids play with the sword non-stop they fucking love it and at this point the sound just went on it and the the lights but like even just like in the dark fucking works every time so anyone who has a problem with that get the fuck out of the basement right that's a prerequisite and i mean i wound up getting one

friggin tattooed on my arm for a reason like you gotta know i love lightsabers always got it up your sleeve i love it uh my number one and you you did allude to it earlier it wasn't nintendo though but it is a video game system and it's that it's the memory that's burned in my head sega genesis um i still remember the i before I opened the Genesis, this is something as a parent, we've had to figure out how to do this the right way. It was, I opened the controller

before I opened the Genesis. Oh, yeah. Sega Genesis controller. You're going to have one of these. I said to my dad, we had an old Sega. There was a Sega Master System, which was the Nintendo. Sega made my dad and at that we had an old sega there was a sega master system which was the nintendo sega made that as well so we had the sega too so he said oh it's it's a new controller for that i was like oh okay so i i'm an idiot kid like it worked until i opened the sega

and i still remember opening the genesis fucking you know cloud nine i remember i got uh john madden football but at that point i didn't even know who John Madden was getting stupid kid. I was probably like eight, nine years old. And I was like, Joe Montana, who's like, I know Joe Montana says John Madden. And now like John Madden is literally like my favorite human ever. If there's only person, if he goes to barstool HQ, I want to meet him and David Rudd. I just want to say thank you because that guy got me into football.

He's the man that I am today in terms of a sports fan. So, and then the reason like, kind of like the bike memory, I was in my room, like Christmas didn't happen that year. Like I went in my room and I didn't come out until like the next morning. And it was like, you know, the first time you discover like masturbating, like I just closed the door and my parents didn't see me.

And I was just upstairs playing video games until my eyes bled. And the Sega Genesis was was it was the fucking game changer it was awesome there's a lot of the and that's why i said i thought you're gonna say nintendo for the one that wasn't a toy because i thought about putting like a video game system on and i was like i don't know if that would count as a toy but for me like the year the psp came out which shout out to uh fun uncle den bought all the nieces and nephews psps that year um the year the nintendo ds came out huge christmas right the year that the xbox one came out shout out to uncle den got me an xbox one i mean this guy yeah he's the best but like those were also huge obviously new video game system for christmas like you said it keeps you occupied especially when you're in

school for the entire christmas break you have all that time off you're like i'm gonna play video games all fucking day and all night mountain dew and doritos you just get that little like every morning you wake up you're like i have the video game as an option for the entire fucking break and there is something that just hits i always say so something hits different when like a call duty comes out that i like and it's you know once every three this. So it was something that hits different when like a call duty comes out that I like. And it's, you know,

once every three or four years, it's one that I get into, but just having like that, where you're just plastered on the couch the entire day, even as a parent, if I get like two hours in, it's just like, Oh my God,

this feels so fucking good. I have nothing else to do the absolute best. So I, we got, you know, cause like we got like other systems for birthdays and stuff like that i don't know i know we got um i don't know if we got 64 for christmas a few years later but i remember when we got six uh we got mario kart for christmas it was after it came out we had

super nintendo already i got it for a birthday but um we got mario kart and it was to all three clemenza kids right i know people don't like my last name the clem kids the smartest thing you could do is make the present to everyone because then it's like technically it's everyone's gift so you can't be like it's my game you can't play so uh again first mario kart that is like a dust i hope parents are writing down little tips because i'm making notes of like yeah i'm young but in you know a decade from now i'm gonna need to remember tips like that right make? Make it out to everyone. And then they have to share.

And if you like, the thing is we never actually are smart enough to do it. Like on one episode of pod fathers, if you listen to like every December episode from like the last five years, you could probably put together a really good how to list. But since we're idiots, we never actually do it on one. But no, don't say you're idiots. It's just a connected universe. It's like the MCU. You got to watch all of it to get the full story all right honorable mention honorable mention was uh the ghostbusters trap i got the ghostbusters trap one year oh yeah and i so aj

aj saw like a commercial on youtube it wasn't even on tv for like a ghostbusters toys and he's like i want ghostbusters i want he's never Ghostbusters, never seen the movie, never seen the cartoon. Doesn't even know what Ghostbusters is. Just wants Ghostbusters. The trap, I don't even know if they even made them. They might have made like five of them. They're sold out everywhere. But I remember back when I was a kid, the trap was impossible to get.

And somehow I got the trap one year for Christmas. And my buddy hit me up the other day. And he's like, dude, I remember you had the Ghostbusters trap. And I was so fucking jealous of you. the Ghostbusters trap and I was so fucking jealous. And Ghostbusters was my favorite thing ever. Is AJ getting like a Ghostbusters Christmas? We're getting.
