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 first ever My Mom's Basement Moon Knight Recap. You see that I'm dressed for the occasion. Clem, you're just Steven Grant right now. I am Moon Knight, though, right here. The people on the YouTube, they get to see it. They get to see my reaction as Bob. I showed up to the podcast and Bob Fox. It's Bob Knight. It's Bob Knight right now.

Bob Knight. That's me. That's what you call me. I literally just watched Moon Knight. We are recording this probably 15 minutes after the episode ended for me. And I got to say, Clem, I was really, really delighted with what I saw. Obviously, I was looking forward to this a lot. I would say I was looking forward to Moon Knight more than any of the other Marvel Disney Plus shows this year.

And what I saw in the first episode was exactly what I wanted to see as far as the mysteries go. Yeah, I have to say the first of all, shout out Jose, who once again saved me a whole lot of confusion. For anyone that's listening or watching this podcast, but haven't listened to Jose kind of give us everything you need to know about Moon Knight, it makes everything a lot easier. Hey, listen, if you want to get all the mystery unraveled each episode that's fine

this would have been too much for me it's just a lot of stuff to untangle at once uh but i like definitely if anyone was confused by anything in this episode go back and listen to that episode because oh my god it'll help you a lot yeah yeah so all in all the uh kind of like it's all it's always the case with the first time you meet a hero. It's the origin story, but they don't go too granular. You're kind of getting some new stuff. Here's some old stuff. And kind of like with Bob here, we get to see the costume at the end. So it's not like you go through and in time, because AJ hopped in the room about halfway through the episode.

And I'm like, oh, this could be a problem. This might be a violent show here. And he saw some violence at the end. But he goes, where's the superhero about halfway through the episode. And I'm like, Oh, this could be a problem. This might be a violent show here. And he saw some violence at the end, but he goes, where's the superhero. Where's the superhero. And I liked that. We got to see the superhero by the end of the episode.

We got to see him in his costume, be in the snot. Cause there's a lot of stuff going on and just going crazy. By the way, what are you wrapped with? Is this, is this toilet paper? I got to take it off too,

because I figure the people listening to the podcast are like, what is this muffled fucking voice? I'm hearing. I'm going to take it off. Shout out Bob figure the people listening to the podcast are like, what is this muffled fucking voice I'm hearing? I'm going to take it off. Shout out Bob Fox. That is a commitment to the bit. Not going with any paper towels or finding anything else. Going with straight toilet paper from the bathroom. That's the barstool difference.

That's the basement difference. That's just commitment to the content game. Portnoy will be proud. Shout out Bob Fox. In fact, it's good toilet paper too. I went, I put the waste. So you know what?

When I take a dump later on, I'm going to save this. I'll wipe my butt with it. Double ply. What do we go with? Double ply. Double ply. It's that real soft stuff.

When you come take a dump at Bob's house, you're wiping your ass with the softest in all the land. It's funny. You mentioned that too, because I agree when I buy toilet paper, I'm buying it just as much for my guests as I'm buying it for myself you don't want to have someone come in and they feel like they're you know wiping it with their hand basically it's such a thin crappy plaque paper but I also have a stack of Scott's I don't want to you know name names here but Scott's toilet paper from like early in the pandemic when there was nothing else out there we're like all right we just got to get something here and then obviously some some of the better stuff came out at some point but that sits there and occasionally that makes its way onto the roll and you're just like oh man this is a problem we're

going to the two-ply stuff yeah that's not great i remember hunting for toilet paper with trent for our apartment like that was a real thing in the city. We went to multiple stores and they were like, nope, sorry. We don't have one role to give you. And then when you would finally find a role, they'd be like limit two per customer. You'd be like, oh shit. And you don't have to get two and then go to another store. What a weird time that was. What a strange time that the times of toilet paper hunting.

We just lived through that shit. And it's funny too. Cause I remember seeing the pictures and the videos online.'m like man suck for those people like in those grocery stores and then i went to my grocery store and i was like holy shit nothing's here too and that's when i realized that the pandemic was real that was your like steven grant mark specter moment where you're like oh my god i'm living in this world now ladies and gentlemen you know who the presenting sponsor of the show is it's 3g they've been with us since the beginning pretty much, and I appreciate them so goddamn much. 3G is the industry leader in Delta 8 THC products, if you don't know.

Now let's get back into the show. So I took some notes during the episode. Before we, like, fully get into it.

Now these will be spoilers. So from here on out, spoiler alert for Moon Knight. Spoiler, spoiler, spoilers. But some of the notes that I took while I was watching it. I was cringing at the opening sequence. Oh my God. When you see the glass into the shoes right away, I wrote, imagine doing that with Legos, you know, stepping on Legos, but that's my life, Bob. Yeah, exactly. Are they, are the kids into Legos yet? AJ's into Legos, but we have it luckily where they stay in a container.

So there's really very rarely Legos on the ground. I'm stepping on bigger toys that can still hurt you, but they don't do the damage of a Lego. The infamous picture of that shark with his head in the air. It's like a meme. And it's like, when you step on a Lego, most accurate meme of all time. I actually had a, my note was diehard vibes. My guy, John McClane did that through a fucking entire floor of a building as he was fighting terrorists and still came up.

And I, the, the way it starts to, and who is it? Ethan Hawke. No, no, no.

Bob Dylan, the music. Oh yeah. He's drinking water and you're like, all right, like this is delightful. Smashes the glass with like that little dragon cane looking thing and then puts on the shoes.

And I go, if you want to give me goosebumps and fear, whoever this person is, mission accomplished. That's how you do it right there. Because you're fucking with glass and you're doing it in your shoes. It felt like, what's the name? Da Vinci Code when the dude's whipping his back. I'm like, there's some religious shit here.

That's what some people were suggesting. So what's the word? It could be a religious penance. I'm not a religious guy, so i didn't realize that's the word but like for some sort of sin and if that's the case what did he you know consider the biggest sin out there bob says he's not a religious guy as he has toilet paper hanging around i'm keeping it i like it it's a good look it's. It's like, uh, you know, uh, Alberto Del Rio, who's actually a bad guy.

I don't like him, but when he was in the WWE, he wore like a white scarf around his neck like that. I kind of dig it for this episode. Um, you get a sense of his personality right away, right off the bat. The first conversation we hear where he's on the phone with his mom,

he's leaving her a voicemail. I was like, holy shit. Oscar Isaac's kind of a fucking nerd in this show ain't he like in everything i've seen him in well not maybe everything but most of the things i've seen him in he's a very confident guy think about dune he's the fucking king think about uh star wars he's the brash pilot who you know goes into battle even when he's not supposed to because he's so confident think about ex machina he's this brilliant crazy, because he's so confident. Think about Ex Machina. He's this brilliant, crazy scientist.

And this is kind of a fucking nerd, at least when he is the British. I guess it's Stephen. Stephen Grant is the one that we start with, which is much different than the Stephen Grant Jose told us about in the comics. In the comics, I believe Stephen is one of his personalities, but not the main person he was born as, that being Mark. Stephen was sort of the bruce wayne billionaire playboy businessman in this he's just a museum worker he's kind of a lowly

museum worker which i also dig because if you want to differentiate moon knight for batman because a lot of people try to make those comparisons yeah take away the bruce wayne personality yeah and i so i wrote these all down for everyone mark specter stephen grant jake lockley those are the three guys i think will be bouncing between and um i noticed as i think later on the episode he's already wearing down you can see he's getting tired and he's looking he's turning into a barstool blogger right before our eyes in one episode so like moon night years are equal to our years are equal to president years it ages you very fast um yeah and you know i actually found it kind of like delightful too i was talking to his mom talking to his goldfish that he was talking about chained to his bed way

too casual how he was just chained to his bed i thought he was gonna wake him be like with the sand around it too which is like yeah oh my god i get what he's going for he wants to figure out if he's waking up or whatever, but like sand, man, you want to step into sand first thing in the morning? Talk about making your morning horrible right away. What are your thoughts on sand, Bob? I don't like sand.

It's coarse, it's rough, it's irritating, and it gets everywhere, Clint. It gets everywhere. Everywhere. Especially in bed, you're rolling around. That's the last place in the world to do that. You bring a nice young lady home and she's like, dude, why the fuck do you have sand in your bed?'s a problem you get sand in the crevices i like sand in the car though like if you have beach sand and it's in the car like it kind of

gives me the feeling of summer for a little while yeah and then like the winter i'll clean it up yeah that's fair enough i liked the og uh jay-z bigimpin' sample we got halfway through this episode. That was really cool. We saw Ethan Hawke killing someone with his grip just based on the judgment of his tattoo. I wrote, all right, there's the first metal moment of the series. Oh, we've got metal. I mean, when he just squeezes that old lady's hands, he's like, sorry. It'd be nice if you could live to see this world, but you can't.

Squeezes are dead. Oh, my God. That was crazy. sorry you it'd be nice if you could live to see this world but you can't squeezes are dead oh my god that was crazy and then one of the biggest oh shit moments of the entire episode the first flash when he wakes up having won that bloody fight he wakes up with uh what did they call it the scarab in his hand where it's like just everyone on the floor around him and his hands are fucking soaked in blood. I was like, holy fuck. And then this one I wrote down,

I know you don't love car chases and the James Bond esque stuff. You had to like this one, right? Cause I thought this was a phenomenal chase scene. So much fun. Yeah. Well, you also have to add in.

And I, I wrote that, you know, I did like it. I'm not a James. I'm not a James Bond guy. You put on, wake me up before you go,

go. It's impossible not to be, not to be happy as you listen put on wake me up before you go go it's impossible not to be not to be happy as you listen that song i think you think of the zoolander gas fight scene and you're just smiling the entire time and he says you know a different version of him steven or whoever the fuck it is i i guys i know it's tough the names are gonna be tough for at least like the first three episodes yeah and then i think we'll be okay exactly he says i don't have a driver's license. One of them says,

one of them doesn't have it. And the other does. Yeah. One of them, the greatest driver ever. Another great detail. Like one of them is a vegan and one isn't like he asked the girl to the date at the steakhouse. He doesn't remember it.

And then he winds up missing the date anyway. Like, Oh my, I like all of this shit. It kind of reminds me of, I think I might've told you recently about that show severance with adam scott did i tell you that i think i might have been talking to devlin about it i saw lights camera barstool interviewed adam scott one of my favorite actors from parks and rec so i watched the interview and he was promoting a new show

directed by ben stiller that he's the star of called severance on apple tv and the concept of the show is your work allows you to get a micro chip where you, when you're at work, all you remember is work. You don't have any clue what you're doing in your outside life, but when you're in your outside life, you don't have any clue what you're doing while you're at work. So it's that you live a split personality essentially. And it reminded me of that in some ways and i only watched two episodes of the show severance i would recommend it to people it's very good kind of black mirror-esque where you're like why is the company doing what they're doing in this weird futuristic world so check out severance

apple tv plus i'll tell you i i think a lot of the barstool employees would probably take that microchip because my life has blended into barstool years ago right it's and that's the thing like you always feel like you're on you always are in content mode or whatever and even when you're not and you're significant other these families like stop on your phone it's like but i am robbie i am club you know what i mean i'm probably it is crazy um and like you said during that chasing logs just fucking crushing people good that and in fortnite now like you could chop down trees and if they're big trees they can just crush people so i got a fortnite um like vibes in that which

was cool i just saw fortnite has the no build mode now which makes me very interested in fortnite all of a sudden yeah there's nothing worse like when i used to play fortnite a lot and you just have some you know 12 year old just build an entire. You can't shoot them if you wanted to. So I want to get that. Unfortunately, my TV down here, there's no power button on it, and AJ hid the remote on me about two weeks ago, so I can't play for it. Isn't that just the saddest thing you've ever heard in your life? That is the truth.

The God's honest truth. I just went on Amazon today to look for a new remote because I have to buy it. I'm giving up. He did this with my Google remote upstairs for our Chromecast, and he's done it again. Two remotes. We're just going to have to buy our places for it. So did this with my google remote upstairs for our um chromecast and he's done it again two remotes we're just gonna have to buy our places for so he's like my little moon night he's turning he's making my life so much he's my conchu my little conchu is aj so i know you he went to a taekwondo birthday party did he come back kicking and throwing punches at you or was he kind of tame after that he's tame now however they sucked us in like they do with all those birthday parties and we are now going to give him a lesson and if if we like it we go eight episodes

we go eight episodes eight weeks and then we can you know build on it and whatever so i'm a little scared that we're weaponizing this kid's fists but i mean hopefully it's for good not bad until he could kick your ass club how many years when many years? When he's eight? Months. Changes of months. I don't think you have to change it to years. All right. Let's kind of go through the episode a little more beat for beat. Not as beat for beat as we usually do. I said we're going to kind of have

a more free-flowing conversation because especially a show like this where it's jumping around and getting all crazy might be a little confusing to try to go like literally line for line. The episode starts from the perspective of steven grant mostly steven grant mark specter comes into play a little bit later on i think jake lockley is going to come into play a little more than he is there's a lot of reflections with three versions of him which

might be hinting at that there's a lot of alligators as well the cane is an alligator we see an alligator in the museum there's all alligators in the comics. Later Gator. I think it says later alligator. He does say later gator. So like, is alligator Loki actually Kang? Oh, I was going to get a Mephisto reference. We're going to Kang. I dig it. I dig it.

I don't know. Is he behind all of this? Is it alligator Loki, the show? And they're giving us the hints. Who knows? Who know? We loved alligator Loki, right? so mark is the main person i believe he was born as who we don't really see in this episode like i don't think he was unless they're changing it from the comics i believe

he was born as mark and steven grant is just the weak one you know that's why conch is calling him like the weak one because he's weaker than mark usually is yeah he's also chased by a jackal at the end of the show i wanted to point that out we thought it was werewolf by night or could have been werewolf by night it's a jackal and that could all relate to the comic book run that jose told us about where he's in the mental asylum and doesn't really know what's real what's a dream what's not apparently there's moments in that where the workers come and they're in scrubs and everything but they have the head of a jackal and the body of a jackal so it's like oh is that part of the same thing there i don't know and going through it we see ethan hawke with the shoes the the religious pen gross we get an awesome marvel intro with a man

without love by engelbert humperdink which is the most ridiculous thing but i had to write that down because the song it's one of those like not quite dear mr fantasy level yeah but you hear it and you're just like all right yeah well this is a good vibe to kick off this series steven thinks he has a sleeping disorder obviously later on we come to realize he's getting up in the middle of the night, but he does everything you would do to an eighth grader on a field trip. He puts the tape on the doors and he's locked down. It's crazy.

He even makes a mention at one point where he's like, I can't bring a girl home with a chains on my door. It's psychotic. Red flag city. I had the same note. Eighth grade, our trip to Washington DC and have the tape on the door. Good work,

man. Great work. That's what they do. Make sure you don't leave, leave't leave leave and kids of course try to get out of it you can't though it's foolproof i don't know how he gets out of it we're gonna have to figure that may be conchers taping the fucking door after he's going back in i don't know that's very strange also at one point during this episode when we mentioned he missed the date he missed like two full days he thought it was friday and it was actually sunday so he must have missed friday entirely and saturday essentially i could see at some point during this series them going back to those two days and showing us like some

crazy shit went down that's a good point even if it's like what is the six episode series something like i think it's six yep it could even be like the fifth episode the penultimate episode when they're like really blue balling you to get you to the finale and we'll completely forgot by that point about those guys i'm like oh shit that's right it's those two days and you know my radar is up with all these goddamn shows especially when there's a lot of mystery going around and i see that little fish and his name is gus which rhymes with sus right off the bat and we're getting we talked about the one fin a whole lot and i had all the notes written down about it and again goldfish have bad memories all that kind of stuff little nemo reference right kind of a ted lasso yeah exactly exactly and the poster where you have

a goldfish in a blender looking thing and i was like this show is i'm not ready you have a goldfish in a blender looking thing. And I was like, this show is, I'm not ready to watch a goldfish get absolutely mutilated. I'm very happy. And he did not get to that point though. But the goldfish comes back with two fins at some point. And he goes to the fish store to be like, the fin grew back. She's like, what are you talking about? You were in here yesterday. Like the fin grew back.

No, they're all with two fins. So we don't know if it's one goldfish two goldfish three goldfish oh look at me i am dr seuss that was actually my mom's favorite book to read to me when i was little look at that isn't that adorable nothing wrong well actually i was gonna say nothing wrong dr seuss if you listen to the twisted history of authors children authors by large there's a lot of things wrong with that yeah i think there was he was kind of abusive wasn't he yeah i think his wife committed suicide he was fooling around the neighbor i know there's a lot of problematic shit i think people are like he's fucking thomas wayne what the fuck it's tough man it's a tough one for this and like i love all those guys dr seuss roald dahl

shel silverstein and large basically poked a hole in every everything i what about um what about goosebumps guy rl stein is that goosebumps person let's be honest bob if you're a hard book guy you probably have more than maybe you might have literal skeletons in your closet if you're true yeah he definitely has literal prop skeletons in his closet actually her is it a he or her rl stein that's a good question i think it's jk rowling i don't know it's. It's a, he is a guy. He kind of looks, he looks kind of like you would imagine a guy named RL Stein to look like, as I look him up here, the one guy that I will say. He bald?

He is. Picture bald guy. No, he, well, balding. Definitely balding and still alive. 78 years young. Shout out to our guy, RL Stein here. They're making movies now, I think with Jack Black in them. Like I think they made one or two movies.

Oh, good for him, man. Getting that,llywood money the one author that i refuse to acknowledge ever had any bad things written about him was eric carley that was the guy he wrote the hungry caterpillar brown bear brown bear what do you see those were staples in the costa de clem growing up and you don't like him i love him no i love him he passed away last away last year, and I wrote basically an obituary to him on Barstool because I love him so much. So the Hungry Caterpillar is a big-time favorite of the Kansas City Club, down to the current generation of kids here.

Speaking of people passing away, this is sad and kind of a tangent off Moon Knight, but one of my favorite musicians of all time passed away this last week. Just wanted to shout him out, Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters. Got it 50, super shocking. Probably like the saddest i've ever been over a celebrity death just stunned me when i read that he was one of those guys that like you never even think about that for and which is people are gonna say if you didn't know him like i didn't know him but know of him they were gonna say why could you say that because he overdosed like 20 years ago and survived that so people i guess were saying oh, you should have seen this coming.

He was one of those guys that was so happy, so bright all the time. You never even thought about someone like that dying. You thought him and Dave Grohl were going to be playing until they were 90, like Willie Nelson. So just shout out Taylor Hawkins. If you haven't heard Cold Day in the Sun, if you haven't heard Sunday Rain, if you haven't heard his Queen covers, go check those out. Type in Taylor Hawkins on YouTube.

Watch some live videos. One of my favorite drummers ever. Dude was an absolute legend. Yeah, and I'm not a big music guy like you, but like you said, the Foo Fighters, absolute Foo Fighters. He's in that video. He's in all those videos with Dave. He's always next to Dave. Go watch those interviews if you want to laugh.

He was one of the funniest dudes always telling stories with dave grohl so like you know it's sad but also go celebrate taylor hawkins life keep his name out there keep playing tributes to him i said on twitter taylor hawkins would always put like a ridiculous picture on the kick drum of his kit like a ridiculous picture of freddie mercury or john travolta or like some of the bgs were on there like i think all drummers should put a funny picture of taylor hoggins or picture tail smile and looking bright on their kits for at least like a year it's almost like in baseball like wearing a black stripe like all drummers should pay tribute to him that would be a nice thing in my mind i dig that that's a good that's a good call and like you said the basement people didn't think we'd be talking about brown bear bram or what do you see and the foo fighters

right into the foo fighters drummer overdose and right into moon night again we'll get back that's what the basement's all about man we keep it cool get everything get a little bit of everything i feel like and i don't know much about music again but i feel like dave girl was the drummer on nirvana right yeah so i feel like to become the drummer for Dave Grohl's band, this guy had to be pretty fucking good. He was unbelievable. And he was so humble about it. Every interview he would be like,

oh, the greatest drummer in the world is my singer. Like, yeah, it's a tough job. Like he said, when he first met Axl Rose, it was the first thing Axl Rose said to him. He's like, what's it like being the greatest drummer in the world's drummer? He's like, it's fucking hard. Nice to meet to meet you axl rose and he was always so humble saying dave grohl's the best but like everyone that really knew i feel like new taylor surpassed

dave like a pretty long time ago really department like dave of course came up with some of the most iconic drum fills drum grooves of all time smells like teen spirits intro, but Taylor could play everything Dave could play and more. He was just crazy. And he could sing at the same time, you know, like Dave could do the same thing, but like Taylor had a great, great voice. There's a video I tweeted of Dave's voice going horse during a show and Taylor finishing times like these for him.

And it's just like such a cool video. There's not a lot of bands where the drummer can do that. His favorite band queen, the drummer could do that his favorite band queen the drummer could do that and that's like if you listen to some queen and then you listen to some food fighters you go oh that's where taylor got everything from roger taylor that was his idol so hopefully he's up there in a band with freddie mercury right now that's nice to think about oh and i love queen i we want my other wife and i went to see a queen cover band this summer had an absolute blast and that's like you know we talk about concerts you'd love to see concert you'd love to see of that is impossible because you know someone's passed queen is top three maybe top one for

biggies up there obviously and then queen i'd recommend seeing queen with adam lambert though i saw yeah i haven't done that i should do that incredible it's worth seeing you know just seeing brian may playing their solos. Roger Taylor's still up there. He's got Rufus Taylor, his son, also drumming. They do like a drum battle mid-show, father versus son. It's good stuff. It's like a tribute to Freddie, essentially. I think for Love of My Life, they have like Freddie, quote unquote, sing it.

And it's just a recording of him acapella singing while Brian May plays the acoustic guitars. It's good stuff. I mean, if you're a Queen fan, how could you not love you not love that and like you said bob anytime the drummer's drummer is that good that's kind of like whenever i feel like man i suck at blogging i suck at content i'm like dave portnoy hired me if dave portnoy i'm doing something right i'm sure the same thing when he was alive as well so yeah so getting back into moon night he asked that girl out on the date but forgets about it and then misses the date, calls her on the night of, and she's like, asshole, it's fucking Sunday. What's wrong with you?

He goes and talks through his problems with a street performer, one of those guys that just is like a statue, which if you grew up around the New York area, probably not only New York. I'm sure London, like they're in here, which he says, London, when he's in the other area. And he's like, I don't know why I said it like that. Cracked me up when he said that. I'm sure you've seen these people before. They're so impressive. And some of them have those special like canes where it looks like they're sitting on something or leaning on something.

And you're like, how are you even standing right now? But I thought that was a funny thing. He kind of just talks to him for a while, reminds people that take a picture like, oh, you got to tip him. And then he tips him and leaves. It's like a therapist. Yeah. And I'll be honest at first,

I thought it was a statue he was talking to. And I'm like, that was a Benjamin Franklin statue. I couldn't really tell. And the mimes, at least the ones that I used to see in Times Square, they'd have like a whistle goes in their mouth and then they'd like stare you or whatever. So the fact that you didn't do that as well,

I was thrown off a lot of cheers being thrown around. I'm thinking I might become a cheers guy bob like oh yeah i feel like that's usually what happens whenever my friends would go abroad they are like some random person go abroad they'd start saying cheers in their emails or whatever i might become a cheers guy or at least a bollocks guy we got a couple bollocks in this episode you know so i mean i don't want to you know uh steal you know my culture is not your you know plaything or something like that we haven't you know so i mean i don't want to you know uh steal you know uh my culture is not your you know plaything or something like that we haven't you know we're growing in england right now barstool is getting out i know i wanted to come back with an accent like madonna but i just couldn't pull it off and that's the thing is like as a as a chelsea fan these are problematic times

for us as well with the whole war in ukraine and our our owner i don't even know he's even considered our owner so i'm kind of just gonna maybe i'll just let is he russian english thing he's russian he's an oligarch to be fair i thought an oligarch this whole time was someone that like had like was related to the royal family back way back when when russia had royalty i didn't realize the entire structure i've learned this through chief and through the dog walk, exactly what all our guards are not so great. It turns out Roman Obradovich might be, you know, he kind of got rich off of, you know, all the words of Putin who is not invited to the basement. Nope.

Vladimir Putin is not invited to the basement. Door is locked. We put the lock in the hinge or whatever you call that. Yeah. No, Putin's not allowed down here. You know who else is not allowed in the basement, Bob? clerks and i i like our guy i don't know what i like our guy steve all right steven stevie i don't know what to call him i'll tell you when you're a kid there's nothing better than a gift shop and you leave through the gift shop it's the most brilliant marketing scheme of all time ever created when you're a father and you're just

like god damn it now i have to fight these kids through the gift shop everything they just watched or saw or you know walk through in the museum they now have to go through the gift shop they're going to want to buy an 85 stuffed animal i can get on amazon for 12 or they're going to want some goddamn candy style trying to sell them sugar at the register the jellies i think they were trying to sell that is the last thing in the world i don't want to get my kid hopped up on sugar for the entire ride home that's what i was hoping they were gonna hold anyway he said like they didn't sell these in asian egypt like yeah why are you selling jellies i love a gift shop too and that was like a big thing when you're a kid i think about that

sometimes actually and i'm sure you think about it all the time as a parent but like how do they do it how did how do they actually make kids want all of the random shit that's in a gift shop it's crazy because i was one of those kids i definitely wanted that shit you go to disney on ice or something you want like a stick that glows up at the end or something and you're like you think back you're like what i want that it's like and those things the markup is like the record on those things like 25 to that and it will be dead within a week guaranteed 100 it will be dead i went to an avengers thing which i mean obviously we're talking marvel here for all the parents out there i can't you know what if you're young you just want to have fun maybe get some three ching yet

go have some fun there's like live action marvel shows which i'm sure they're back now i'm sure they're you know during the pandemic everything went down but i imagine they're coming back and probably a little cheaper than usual. Maybe get tickets to them. It would be so much fun if one comes to our area and we did a basement meetup at one. We had all the listeners react like it was fucking WWE.

Like Captain America hits a move and we're all like, yeah! Thanos comes out, boo! And then you in the heel section is like You're cheering for the heel you know Marvel Universe Live that's the name of it I'm looking at it here they have Wolverine

Spider-Man no dates right now Oh Wolverine's in it so they're mixing Universes and shit here Yeah all over the place game time tickets You got some tickets on game time maybe Game time what a transition Clem let's tell the people about game time a new sponsor they've never been on my mom's basement before but i am delighted to have them game time

is a new app created by fans for fans sounds familiar that's been changing the way we buy tickets and has become one of the fastest growing companies in america here's the story years ago game times founder brad is at a bar with his brother before game seven of the NLCS and he sees ticket prices dropping. So he buys them on his phone, but realizes then he has to print them, which is a dilemma that I've been in myself for concerts, all that. Sometimes you got to go to a physical location on other sites. It's not good. He ends up bribing the owner of the bar to let him into his office. And after 20 minutes of logging in ink issues, he gets the tickets, but misses the first inning he thought wow what a great last minute deal but giant pain in the ass obviously to get the actual tickets and then the app was born

today over 15 million people have downloaded the app the game time app is essentially designed for these moments last minute deals which i as a regular concert goer use all the time you know our office is right across the street from madison square garden actually in 2018 i saw the foo fighters on concrete and gold tour and did this exact thing i had always planned to go to the show but didn't buy tickets until about an hour before the opener came on stage and you get the cheapest tickets because people get that desperate they're like i'm not going to get these tickets off my hands i'm not going to the show might as well drop the prices so game time is designed to help you out with that i will definitely be using game time

in the next year in the next coming years and the best part is you'll get 20 off your first purchase if you download the game time app go to the account tab to create a login and redeem the code MMB for $20 off your first purchase. Terms apply. Download GameTime. Last minute tickets. Lowest price guaranteed. Do you think Smitty's upset about them using the term GameTime? Oh, that's going to hurt him.

When I heard about the ad, too, I was like, oh, wow, we're promoting one of our own. That's cool. No, Smitty has been cucked yet again. Smitty ain't giving us $20 off tickets to any event you could imagine another drummer that you know except he he didn't stay with the band he was kind of the uh 1.0 of the entire thing that's her sorry insult to injury i know smitty is probably a basement boy i'm sorry smitty i'd like everyone at barstool listens to this podcast i don't think there's a solo barstool that doesn't um and i'm looking here at the marvel podcast. I don't think there's a soul at Barstool that doesn't.

And I'm looking here at the Marvel Universe Live, which again, there's nothing scheduled yet. I'm being honest. I had the time of my life. You know what I ended up buying the kids? There was so much like things there that I was like, these are kind of junk. I bought them. It was like a popcorn tin.

So we got the popcorn and there's just, it was like a giant like container you could use. And I was like, boom, two birds, birds one stone Collectible and we can eat popcorn It works perfectly These guys they do gymnastics It's like Spiderman is like flipping around You have these guys riding dirt bikes It's a great show

I'm promoting the fucking Marvel Universe live here No free ads Speaking of popcorn tins This is the tin that I ate popcorn out of During Avengers Endgame Figured you gotta keep that It's during Avengers Endgame. Figured you got to keep that, you know? It's the actual Endgame popcorn. Like Daddy Thanos.

Yep. Yeah, so now it's just I put random, you know, UFC gloves, stickers. Actually, look at this. VIP royalty from Medieval Times. The My Mom's Basement Podfather's Duo Trip. Speaking of great time, it's basically that, I assume. The Marvel show is like a Marvel Medieval Times. Exactly's that's actually probably the perfect way to put it it's it's awesome so i love it i and so i'll give i'll give a little bit of a break here as the gift shop

guy but being the gift shop person or the person selling your fucking you know baseball bats at the game for like 30 just trying to make an honest living nothing wrong with that it's just i like those little bats you like the little bats yeah those are. Just trying to make an honest living. Nothing wrong with that. I like those little bats. Yeah, those are good. I used to have some little bats. Also, Donna in the museum. I don't know if she's on the sus list or the c-word list, but I do not care for her one bit. Somewhere in the middle, yeah.

There's a little bit of both, if you know what I mean. There's also one thing about there's two missing gods, and she's like, I fired them because they were late. Khonshu. Alarm. Gotta be them because they were late. Khonshu. Alarm. Gotta be one of them, right? Khonshu and who?

Mephisto? I was going to say, what was it? A mint? A mint? Praise a mint? That's what they say at the end. But I don't know if that even makes sense. There's a lot of shit to digest in this goddamn show still.

A lot. Now we get the kind of full introduction for ethan hawke because he wakes up and sees ethan hawke in the streets of where did they where were they again were they like in the alps they said or something i don't yeah that's kind of where i figured they were i didn't they were like in another area of europe clearly not in london and he's walking down the street everyone's just touching him it's weird almost game of Thrones, like when they're doing the shame walk, but it's not shame. It's worship. Everyone's like, oh, my God.

He walks in front of all these people, and he does the tattoo test that we kind of spoke about earlier, the kind of metal tattoo test. He's got one of those balance things, the law and order balance, whatever. And if it goes green, you're good. If it goes red, he's going to squeeze you until you die. And that's tough mark specter kind of notices him he notices mark specter he calls him a mercenary people were saying in the comics he is a mercenary so that's like maybe a connection to their past in some way and he snatches the scarab from him and then can't give it up and the acting in this scene was

phenomenal by oscar isaac because i was like it really looks like he's almost like magnetically being pulled left to right up and down and he's like i'm trying to give it to you i swear mate come on and they start dragging him away and this is when he just kind of like his eyes go up his eyes go out and then he wakes up and his fists are bloody and everyone around him is on the ground knocked out and it's clear that he just won this fight it's like oh fuck so now we get the chase sequence that we talked about earlier as well where you go back and forth where he doesn't have a license on one of the guys then he wakes up and you know when he wakes up and he had the gun in his hand he turns around and the body is just sitting there and falls out pretty fucking violent for the mcu a lot of blood i also also read this week that they took the blood out of two scenes in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That's strange.

I didn't like that. Come on, Marvel. Just steer into it. It's a new time we're living in. Everyone's a little older. They went back and deleted a tweet that was a little too mean to somebody or something. Let me just remove one of these. I was happy that we got to see

when the scales tipped against you a woman it wasn't like someone just shot her i like that he kind of like sucked her soul out or whatever i like that i like that we have a little bit of like villainry and like superpowers if you may um i also was thinking someone's gonna get that tattoo maybe bob fox will get that tattoo if moonite makes enough of an impression on you as a as a show you know i ain't a villain that would throw off the balance of the force that's that's a fair point mark hamill's not grabbing that arm again if there's a villain on it ethan hawk grabbing my arm that'd be a weird picture i loved when they said the idiot's back and i was thinking like kind of like you said

before where it's like you're trying to separate your you know this person from that person it's like the barstool blogger that's the idiot version of me the dumbest possible version of me is that and that's what like they would say like up the idiots back we got to get like regular climb back the family man or just the guy walking outside nope the idiot's back and he's murdering motherfuckers the scarab that reminds me of aladdin i was getting aladdin vibes and i remember the aladdin video game which was actually like randomly awesome back in the day first sega yeah it was for my brother said that was so hard that was one of the games my brother told me about growing up where he's like oh that's impossible it's like the lion king the elephant graveyard like do not go near aladdin and then for the old

old folks like myself ninja turtles for for regular nintendo there was a hudson river board the hardest board in the history of games in my life i've never like i got i'm getting like chills just thinking about it um but yeah just seeing all that shit go down with um him just being the crap out of everyone and yeah you said he's like getting pulled this way pulled that way uh and then just like merc motherfuckers yeah i love the log thing he like made the log truck crash which i think it was brought up you sent me the it was the heavy spoilers or yeah was it heavy spoilers they brought up final destination and that was the first thing i thought of too when you see that log truck i don't even know if i've ever seen that full movie or if i've just caught like a half an

hour here and there on tv it's one of those i feel like they were always on a random channel that log scene is like, if you've seen it once, you'll never forget it. Yup. That's it. I don't think I've never, I've only seen the commercial final destination.

And the only parts of final destination I can tell you about is the log thing. And every time I think every single time you drive on the road, you think of that and you're just like, all right, we're going to the other lane. Exactly. Speaking of lanes,

cars, I thought my car got stolen i i walked to my car on friday where i usually park at jersey city it's not there are you on three cheat bob is this three cheat bob talk no no this isn't three cheat this is sober bob i was about to drive i thought and it's not there and i'm like what the fuck my car was not stolen well it was stolen it was stolen by police. They towed it due to an expired registration. Now, my dilemma is we found out. I don't use my car very often living in Jersey City. We Uber sometimes to the city.

Sometimes we'll drive, but I went on the London trip. So my car had been there for like half a month, and the fees are up to like already there, up to like $1,100. $1,100? Already, yeah. Oh. for like half a month and the fees are up to like already they're up to like eleven hundred dollars eleven hundred dollars already yeah for the daily storage fees and shit and the issue is the registration was expired in my brother's name it was my car originally then i gave it to my brother then my brother gave it back to me but now he lives halfway across the fucking country so he's got to get like letters notarized giving me power of attorney sent back to me but now he lives halfway across the fucking country so he's got to get like letters notarized giving me power of attorney sent back to me i went to the dmv like i went to the dmv went to the towing place both times it was like i didn't have the right paperwork so i got to get it from my brother i am in hell right now i wish my car was stolen it would have been much easier

to get back i think if it was stolen i need to get like uh the batmobile shit from the keaton movies where it's just like shields around if the cops try to get it next time and it just drives on its own back to your place exactly it's my fault i get it the registration's been expired forever whatever it's on me just been hell going to the dmv back and forth oh my god i saw And then, um, I, there was also the same like day there was a tweet where someone had said something similar, but it was a joke. Like a lot of people were making a meme of a tweet. So I was like, Oh, Bob's car didn't get stolen. Cause I was going to say, make sure it didn't get towed. Cause when I was visiting wifey back when we were dating in Queens back in the day, I parked somewhere. I parked on a road. I think probably about four

hours later after I parked, they had put up flyers that were saying, do not park on the street is being used for a shooting of some show movie, something, or maybe it was getting cleaned or something. They towed all the cars on that street. And I hadn't, it was like two full days that we were at, I was at our apartment, come back, car's gone. I'm thinking it got stolen. I'm like a fucking country mouse in the city. And I'm like got stolen nope just got towed i didn't have it that was gone for two days not two months like our guy bob here so and i'm going to wrestlemania tomorrow or if if you're listening to this i'm already in dallas and then next week i'm going to la for another video shoot the week after that i think i'm going to columbus and the week after that i might be going back to arlington and then i think the week after that, I might be going back to Arlington. And then I think the week after that, I'm going to Vegas. So this is going to be very interesting. We're going to see if I get this car back or if the fees go up to like $10,000. And I'm like, I might as well buy a new car.

Bob versus the Jersey PD is the rivalry I never knew. No, don't say that. I'm with him. I'm with him. Give me my car back. I'll do whatever you tell me to. I was going to say, are you going can have Frank the tank complain on your behalf. It might work.

I mean, he's complaining against Jersey transit, the New Jersey devil. One of my tweets yesterday where I was, I said like, you know, it got to it. He said,

I hear it six to eight weeks for an DMV appointment in Jersey, which it's not, you know, if you go far enough, you can go. I went down to like Hazlitt, New Jersey, which is pretty far away,

but also interestingly enough my favorite podcast hosted by two of the former comic book men on amc and q from the impractical jokers it's called tell them steve dave it's like the podcast i've been listening to for 10 years all of kevin smith's friends that used to run the secret stash store uh they now run their podcast out of the same airport plaza mall that the DMV was in. So after I went to the DMV and got super disappointed, I was like, all right, I'll go check out like where my favorite podcast is recorded, bought a t-shirt and stuff. So it wasn't a total bust. It was kind of W I wonder if there's any, there might be basement listeners that listen to tell them Steve Dave, if there are tweet me.

Yeah. Hit us up for sure. Um, I wonder, I was going to say maybe Frank, the tank could give you like, I got a guy, like, I got a guy. He worked as a court clerk forever, but I guess that's not the case. He just had to tell you that New Jersey sucks. Again, sorry, we're going on a tangent away from Moon Knight, but this has just been hell that I've been living in. So I had to get it out there, you know? I just got to vent to the listeners. Well, this is the thing, too.

Like, this show, my brain's been scatterbrained all over the place. Like, the time is off. The fish is off. My brain is just, you know, scattered all my brain is just you know what's a dream what's real which is kind of what jose promised us and kind of what i wanted going into it i wanted to be confused and i'm glad i got the screeners for episodes one through four i saw so many people watched them i saw jeff and ken jack watched them i don't disparage them for watching them in any way they've to do lights camera barstool probably it's uh right for them to watch it's probably like smart for them to watch early i love that i didn't i love that

i have no idea what's going to happen until next week and this is stretched out into a month of mystery for me and thinking about this show like i'm so glad i didn't watch all four so going further in the episode he wakes up after the whole car chase to a bunch of missed calls from a woman named Layla. Picks up the phone. She calls a mark. He's like, what the fuck is going on? Why are you calling me that? He starts seeing Khonshu.

Khonshu looks scary. He looks crazy. Basically like he does in the comic books, if you've seen him there, where it's like an Egyptian god in white and gold robes. And he's got a big staff. And then his head is just this skeleton of a bird and it's kind of floating above his head sees him in a few different areas he winds up seeing ethan hawke like on a bus he's like they're following me he's following me runs into the museum the art gallery and he sees a security guard he's like get this guy he's following

me security guard shows him oh no i got the fucking same tattoo as him it's like oh you're in on this too everyone's in on the kind of fight club style like we're all on this watch your back everywhere you go ethan hawke reads him puts the little alligator cane between his hands and he says you have chaos in you escapes lights go out jackal chase runs into a bathroom and then we get the scene pretty much the first scene we ever saw from moon knight i think is him turning around and walking towards the camera but he beats the fuck out of that jackal in that hotel or not hotel room the bathroom and then he just walks into the camera episode over pretty badass especially how he was talking to himself in the mirror i think it was Mark being like Steven let me take

Over chill out like I'm going to Take over this is real let us get Through this like very cool dynamic Great ending to the episode like you said The right move to show us the superhero In the first episode it made I would have it would not have felt complete It would have been like man we went through all this and

We don't get to see what Happened and it was a lot to take in. But I thought it was pretty goddamn cool at the end. We got to see it. And heavy spoilers. Like you said, they made a note that there's a lot of mirrors in this episode. If you go back and rewatch it, not just mirrors, but reflection. So in windows, in puddles and stuff like that.

A lot of puddles. Yep. And then obviously when Oscar Isaacs is talking, that's where it's everything's broken. The fourth wall or whatever you want to call it so i thought that was that was real cool did you get any kind of vibes when the jackal was running around because there was two pop culture things that i got like real real deal um jackal was running around no not really uh gozer i had gozer or the dog gozer and then a little bit of stranger things you know like one of the uh demogorgons the little dogs that were the demodogs yeah whatever they yeah uh the old lady

i was gonna say the when you said that the first thing that came to mind was like nightcrawler and x2 white house kind of flashing in and out on the ceiling on the walls that's fair that's fair uh the the old lady i'm not gonna put her on the sus list i thought she was such in the commercial but that was great the scene in the commercial did pay off yeah she was fucking terrified man she was fucking so scared i was scared for her by that point um and i was gonna the only i was gonna say i was gonna get upset about him not realizing that it was sunday instead of friday but i don't even know what date it is anymore like i was like i'm not looking at my my thing right now march 28th 29th

march 30th bob it's like there we go we've all become dave portnoy in the last there we go convinced like the days are not dates are not real anymore. I found out at a dentist appointment, like 10 minutes before I had it when I just happened to see an old text message. Oh no, no boy. I think it might be a dental surgery too. I got it. I got a whole infection.

I'm not even going to go into it. Our guy, Bob, my problems. Our guy, Bob is catching up. I'm on a skid right now. Yeah.

Pray for Bob. Oh, that's the other thing I want to say. So we had the whole steak thing he's a vegan it was you know i thought that was very cool there's all these different sides of them what is your go-to steak order i'm not going to say how much you want it cooked because i know that's going to piss people off does bob fox have a go-to steak order when he goes out to the steakhouse like a kind of steak like it's new york strip filet mignon is my favorite

i go filet as well and i say you know what if i'm going out to a nice place i'm gonna get the expensive shit i'm gonna get the good shit the shit that i am scared of screwing up the entire time i'm cooking it so i'm gonna have someone professional cook it for me so i'm the same as you but i go filet medium rare i go filet medium only because i don't want them to go rare i always go a level up even at the good places i know it's going to piss people off i saw people get upset about steaks i almost didn't say it but i i like it i'll occasionally butterfly too so you remember where they can cut it in half and you kind of yeah the the double doozy really get a little extra instead of the thick steak i

like it like that um i like that too i also like a new york strip i know some people shit on that like the thinner steak people like ass steak you don't want i like that yeah I also like a New York strip I know some people shit on that like the thinner steak people are like it's a steak you don't want I like that I don't know why people don't it's good food a little London broil for Bob Fox yeah like a London broil not only since I went to London as he said it

no since before way before then I've been early on the London broil I discovered London broil I am London broil this is the last thing i'm gonna say from the episode in terms of like the different references if you name your daughter leila her entire life she's gonna have to hear the song just gonna put it out there yeah i think it's a lovely name sir yeah they lived in clapton camp that's a good point so just think about that for all the people out there. I think he said there was racist stuff, he said, at an old concert that they dug up recently.

Eric Clapton needs to stop making it hard to be an Eric Clapton fan. Chill out, Eric Clapton. Great guitarist, though. Great guitarist. Hell of a musician. Hell of a discography. Yeah. If you just remove him from the music,

which you got to do with some people. Some people say bring up the bad stuff about John Lennon. You got to remove him. Remove the person from the artist, the music, which you got to do with some people. Some people bring up the bad stuff about John Lennon. You got to remove him. Remove the person from the artist, the music. It's all good. Kind of like our guy Moon Knight. There's one guy that murdered the motherfuckers. Dr. Dre. Some of the things that rappers have done. It's rough.

You remove him, their music's still great. Exactly. That was Moon Knight though. That was the first episode. The first episode recap as long as well as my dmv recap and a tribute to taylor hawkins in the middle of it it kind of went all over the place like moon night maybe that's going to be the new uh style they're like man i just got into my mom's basement you guys are all over the place no no that was just the moon night season where we talked about random it's a new era it's a new era baby it's a new era, baby. It's also 100 days as we're recording this.

When this comes out, it'll be 98 days till Thor Love and Thunder comes out and we've got no trailer. They were doing reshoots which had me a little... I don't know if the word's concerned, but I'm like, maybe... I don't get concerned about that as much anymore. Hashtag trust the flag.

You've been through that a million times. I'm really excited for that and it's just that's going to be kind of the guardians part of it too and as a guardians man true i'm really excited for them and i don't really know what to excite i have no it doesn't feel like that's even close to coming out where after multiverse of madness is done that's where the hype train is it's going right to thor maybe they're going to do the spider-man thing again where the post-credit scene is going to be the first trailer. I wouldn't. They wait that

long. What is it? May? Do we know what day is Multiverse? 2020 something. Yeah, so that would be a wild move, though. That would be a wild move. They did it with Doctor Strange and Spider-Man, and that was Sony and

Marvel. Yeah, That's across. That's so, you know, this is, I feel like more likely at least may six. That is. Yeah. It's really not that far away.

So maybe they will. That makes more sense to them. Just releasing a trailer, like a couple of months away. Right. I'm so excited for that too. Our guy Korg is coming back. So who do you,

what are you more excited for Thor or Dr. Strange? Dr. Strange. I gotta, I gotta give love to our Boy Waldron yeah Doctor Strange I like if I knew the Guardians were gonna like I feel like the Guardians would be In the beginning and then they're gonna go their own way But and the They should use that song you can go your own way

As soon as they fucking leave that'd be perfect for them I feel like there's a potential Portman curse We could be dealing with here with Thor as well. Imagine if Thor just like goes back in the shit. I think Portman redemption story. Okay. Okay. Portman redemption.

I love Natalie Portman. Padme. Come on. One of my crushes got to support her. This is the thing. I love Natalie Portman too. Now that you bring that up though, Natalie Portman has,

has been in star Wars and the MCU. Yeah. And everything she's been in was basically the worst version of the MCU in Star Wars. I'm kind of concerned about the Portman curse. Don't say that. SW prequel Stan, aka SW prequel Fran is listening. I know. Yeah, I know.

That's one of my favorite fun facts at Barstool. Fran was Queen Princess Amandella, like, six years in a row for Halloween. Just an incredible. She did the face paint, the headdress. Head to toe, fucking full-blown, heavy-duty, like, Hollywood-level costume. Oh, will we get her in Obi-Wan? Ooh, that's a good question. Flashback? Yeah, that would be sweet.

She's with the Disney family doing this stuff. You know, you put her in front of a green screen, they could anything like that now do you want portman on that set yeah there's i heard i heard this guy on a podcast the other day said that there's a portman curse going on it's like a fucking podcast you're cheating on me with nerd podcast i'm trying to inception you guys into believing in this portman curse hashtag portman curse if you guys made it to the end of this crazy episode we need to have tover grace come in and segment this podcast to make sense here they're gonna have all the dm stories in this part marvel universe uh live show in this part and all the natalie portman stuff and then the rest moon night we're gonna put it together

um but yeah um what would you say right now based on what you thought about moon night before the first episode how do you feel going into the second episode you thought about moon night before the first episode how do you feel going into the second episode you seem to like it now how do you feel about like the whole um i love where it's going i feel very whelmed in in that like i watched the first episode and i wasn't like blown away i wasn't like that's the best mcu show i've ever seen but i was like very very intrigued and it left me wanting more which I wanted you know like WandaVision did like Loki did when the credits rolled I was like oh fuck where's he going I want to see more now like I'm very very happy with the pilot that we got and very excited for this show

I I'm jealous like the people who watched four at once or a couple at once it's just there's a lot to be putting together and there's a week's time in between. There's a lot of shit that's going to be broken down. And I know if I go on Reddit, especially after more shit gets revealed, we're going to go down into this rabbit hole. There's going to be X-Men, Mephisto meeting all our old friends.

I think he was in the comics with him. I know people are probably bring him up as a potential finale cameo. And then it'll be Ralphalph boner again or something and this is the thing like it's like they almost need to have it like with michael scott when he marks the girl's hand you know which one's his girlfriend like i don't know which guy i'm looking at i know that's all part of the show i don't know if we got mark stevie one of them called them scotty so then i'm like wait i know i was leaving the museum scotty scotty a new personality and also we haven't met mr knight who is yeah allegedly one of the coolest personalities he's the one

who wears like a kind of moon knight mask but it's not as it's not as rappy it's kind of just smooth and then he wears a white suit which is pretty fucking badass and he's rumored to be more like james bond which is another reason i get them changing the Mark Spector or the, I guess it's the Steven Grant from the playboy billionaire to like the lowly museum worker, kind of a nerd. I like that because the James Bond personality would sort of take some of the traits of that Bruce Wayne,

right? Like Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne with a gun is James Bond. Yeah. And I think they probably don't want to have him be like the MC use Batman. And by having an eccentric billionaire, you're basically doing exactly that. Plus, we already had Tony Stark play that. You know, Robert Downey Jr. played that role better than anyone else could. Let's just completely disconnect.

You know, and I'd like to apologize to anyone out there that might currently be or formerly have worked at gift shops. I love gift shops. It's just as a parent, it's fucking tough, man. It's a tough thing. Your kids are already pissing you off and then they're asking for the $8 piece of candy. It's really tough. So shout out to all the gift shop people out there. Any apology to Portman before we get out of here?

I might write a whole fucking blog on this, actually. I'm going the opposite. I'm steering into it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to you. No, you're going to make Portman an enemy of the pod you Prequel Stan Who is prequel Fran Like Fran sees that she's gonna fucking rebuke me For coming at her girl but

I'm telling you Someone make the scene from Revenge of the Sith Where Clem is on Anakin And he's like herding Portman And then I'm Obi-Wan like I step out I'm at the top of the thing He's like Clem you're breaking my heart I'm looking to seean. Like I step out, I'm at the top of the thing. He's like, Clem, you're breaking my heart. I'm looking to see if she's in any other,

like, uh, like great franchises here that she like, kind of just, she, she didn't sell. She didn't submarine them herself. I'm not saying her characters are bad,

but it's almost like a fucking curse. I don't know what else to say. It's curse of the port. You've made it this far, you know, hashtag Portman curse as much as I hate to say it. It's a good to say. It's Kurtz with a portmanteau. If you've made it this far, you know, hashtag portmanteau. As much as I hate to say it, it's a good hashtag. It flows. It's good.
