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 Barstool Sports and 3C, and the finale of Andor recap edition of My Mom's Basement. I can't believe we've already made it to the finale, partially because this show started during She- hulk and house of the dragon and we were recapping all three at the same time it felt like the show really started when those two were in the rear view window and we got to just focus on andor but wow it's a show that just kept getting better along the way the finale was very satisfying in my opinion the the mid credits post credit scene whatever you want to call it amazing Amazing stuff. Andor, just knocked it out of the park. This was the dark

horse to blow us away this year from Star Wars and it succeeded. It definitely succeeded. It was easily the best Star Wars show. It was a show that if I was a younger man with a little more energy or at least maybe one less kid, if not two, would have been a 3 a.m.

late night showing for me couldn't make it i did wake up at 5 a.m and briefly thought let me go hop on disney plus and get this checked out but i needed to have my brain all about me um but you said it perfectly this was the show i i think let me see how i can phrase this this is the show i think we were hoping for with obi-an and Boba Fett. Not in terms of, like, very different shows, but the feeling I have afterwards where I'm like, man, I can't wait for next season.

And that was so fucking awesome. Every week was more fun. And, yeah, they nailed it. All right, so the basement is the trust tree. When you're in the basement, it's the trust tree. I don't think I have to say that, right? I'll admit when we were talking about it like all right and we'll recap and or i was not looking forward to it because i was just like i liked i loved rogue one but i'm

just like man it could get it could get really you know into the nitty-gritty but if they don't do it right which let's be honest star wars shows have not proven to me they could do it right other than mando i was like this is going to be like watching paint try and it was the absolute opposite it was awesome and i'm psyched for uh season two which they just started filming so it's gonna be a while yeah yeah i mean we heard i heard house of the dragon at least 2024 so this is going to be at least 2024 too which is like a real bummer but we have i'm sure there's plenty of there there's gonna be no shortage of star wars stuff coming out and i mean i know this isn't technically a start with star wars news but it's bigger than star wars it's you know the daddy of star wars

bob eiger coming back to disney that's a big story here sounds like the creatives are all pretty happy about it which if the creatives are happy the creatives are doing good work so i feel like that's probably a good thing i imagine the dude that was in charge of a lot of stuff that helped, you know, grow the product. And listen, this guy was also there for the sequel trilogy. I know that as well. Yeah. I didn't love that.

But the guy who was there was a Parks guy. So I'm interested to see if that all plays out. I don't know nearly enough about how much Iger had a hand in everything. Me neither. Like I had to text Jeff D. Lowe when that whole thing broke and Iger's back and I was like can you explain this to me like I'm five like why does everyone hate this other guy and why is everyone so excited that Iger's back and he kind of explained it to me he worked for um Iger right like he was ABC when when Iger was there I was fucking at ESPN when Iger was there so um Jeff D. Lowe was always the guy to go for that kind of

stuff but uh definitely one for one in the end or bucket here. And it's two seasons? Is that what it's going to be? So it's only two. And they said initially the idea was for like three or four seasons. And then I think the creator was like, I'll go crazy if I'm making four seasons of a Star Wars television show. We condensed it down to two. Now we know season two is going to have some time jumps in it.

Not Game of Thrones level time jumps where we're not changing actors or anything like that, but every like three episodes or so we're going to jump a year. So it does make me worry just a little bit that they're going to rush season two, where one of the best parts of season one was the slow pace and, and the slow build and all of that. I hope they don't like,

this is a show where I could go for three seasons like that. Like, oh, renew it for two and really stretch this shit out. It's a shame that we know Andor's conclusion too because I would love to see a show that starts in the early days of the Rebellion and follows through the entire war. It would be cool to see that through the eyes of someone like a character on this show that's just part of the Rebell them fight on endor or if there was another battle battle of jakku or something like that where yes we know what the end result is we know the rebels are

going to blow up the death star and win but we don't know what's happening to these specific characters this and or finale recap edition of my mom's basement is brought to you by 3G.

I am jealous of the people that haven't watched Star Wars. And you have to tell them, what order did you watch Star Wars?

There's a million orders. Bob always gives his answer, which is the right answer. But those people should have to watch Andor before they watch Rogue One. If you don't know, my God, yeah. That will fuck you up big time, right? It'll fuck you up bad. Like, oh my God, this guy gave everything,

including his life for the Rebellion. Get out of here. Let's talk about the episode. Let's get right into it. It was called Rick's Road, and we open with someone wielding a possible bomb. No, no, no. We open with, I didn't know this, I saw it on Twitter,

the music was the funeral music this week. See, that makes sense because as the intro played, my girlfriend said, this sounds like a marching band. And I was like, yeah, it kind of does sound like a marching band. And later on in the episode, we find out that there's marching bands in Star Wars. Unreal. Canon. Marching bands are canon in star

wars great call it literally said in the closed caption like marching band rehearses i was like all right we're calling a marching band too i love it uh someone's wielding like what looks like a bomb though we see wires going into this thing very much it's like the clock that that kid made that he got in trouble for remember obama tweet about it remember when that was like the craziest thing that was happening in the world nice clock oh you know i wish i want to go back to a time where that was the thing that like stopped the news cycle for like three days such a simpler time on twitter that's what this reminded me of and we see dead arrive on ferrix it's very stormy and i made a note that the cgi and this one quick scene where her ship arrives just looked amazing it looked so real the rain and the grittiness um and vix is still being held prisoner and like we said last week she is looking rough like this torture that they put her through

looks like the roughest of the star wars tortures well i guess borgala from rogue one remember that slimy octopus thing? Oh, yeah. That really fucks you up, but the torture device they used on her, she's messed up for life, I think. The Han Solo with, like, the little sparks going. I love how they always, he looks so downtrodden. Like, he looks like he gave him the flu, basically. Yeah. No, there was no sparks.

They just injected me with, like, extra doses. They gave him COVID. They gave him COVID. Chewie, get away. I can't smell a thing right now. I think they gave him COVID Chewie get away I can't smell a thing right now I think they gave him COVID But yeah This torture man

That's fucked man I do not like it I do not like my beloved Bix just looking like hell And I'm hoping Season 2 It has worn off a little bit But that's probably something you don't stop dreaming about I feel like that is PTSD shit That they have implanted deep deep deep into your brain

the screams of those children or whatever we see on ferrix cassian's pals are worried about him like they're talking hey i talked to cassie and they're like are you fucking kidding me like did you tell him not to come he's like it was a short conversation like we couldn't really talk that much and there's clearly eyes and ears everywhere. We see people watching the conversation from all angles listening. And I liked all of that. That is definitely the espionage spy shit that we were promised in this show. There is little birds as they call them in game of Thrones everywhere.

I think Varys has little birds in every corner. There's little birds in Andor. Lots of little birds. And it kind of, it starts like you said with the Empire part where it's like their little spaceport and their big bad empire. And then it's just all the little things on both sides there looking. It was a very cool dynamic of the two differences of the sides there. So, yeah, great call. The birds.

One of the best parts of this episode is Mon Mothma's short scene in it. I thought this was one of the best parts because she sits down in the back of her car with her husband. And immediately, I think this is what we call gaslighting. She kind of gaslights him. She's like, listen, the gambling again. Go to fucking Canto Bight if you want to start gambling, okay? If you want to go to a casino, start going to a casino. Gambling is illegal on

coruscant you cannot gamble here we know everything about the gambling regulations working at barstool now we know they take that shit serious irresponsible people come on that's all we're not a gamble responsibly and the husband is like what the fuck i'm not gambling what are you talking about now mom's doing it the whole time knowing her driver's a nosy little fuck and he's listening in on this conversation and he's going to report it back to the empire where did the funds go oh let me throw him off the scent a little bit my dickhead husband he's gambling brilliant absolutely brilliant move i kind of think we need a mon mothma uh like hologram that goes please responsibly gamble 100 gambler

still fucking great i would love her i love it how about mom when she popped the top, oh, mom, we're getting a little loose in the backseat right now. All right. He's coming in. He still has his booze in his hands. And when she said privacy, I'm like, don't you fucking dare, mom. What was the word that we hated that they kept? Schedule. Schedule.

Schedule. I'm like, if you say privacy and schedule, I'm going to. Which I heard in a movie last night and it immediately made me laugh. Yeah, I was watching. You ever see the movie Paul? It's an alien movie. Seth Rogen plays the alien. I don't know if I, I definitely don't think I've seen it.

I think it was like on the, you know, radar, but I don't think I actually watched it. It's like a stupid movie, but for nerds, I feel like nerds would love it. Like it's too, it's Simon Pegg and his co-host there, his co-star and everything. And they're like comic book artists and they come upon Paul and they go on a road trip and they go to comic con and all that shit. So there's my random recommendation of the week. I will not be watching it. Cause they say schedule.

And I can promise you that right now. And if anything has privacy in it, I will not watch it. I'm going to flip you back. I'm going to flip you back. Girl. We're three boobs in the movie. Oh, we're going to recall. Yeah. I love it. I absolutely watch it. I'm going to flip you back. I'm going to flip you back. Girl with three boobs in the movie. Oh, we're going to recall on it now?

I love it. I absolutely love it. At first, I admit I was a little confused. I'm like, man, she is just going at this dude. But I kind of just started putting everything together. And the fact that he could just hear everything basically verbatim, word for word in the front seat. So I was like, oh, man, man is too fucking smart for this dude she's too smart for her husband and throw that motherfucker to the wolves basically to the empire so i love it she's she's like i got a shitty husband i'll get to the

shitty daughter fuck them both they're going like the easiest way to fuel this is rebellion is with their fucking dead bodies as ashes basically at this point also just a shout out in her last scene for genevieve o'reilly we see her quickly but there was no dialogue in the scene at the end just just what a performance by genevieve o'reilly if you're not familiar with the whole backstory of how she got cast this actress was cast as mon mothma in revenge of the sith and they wound up not using her scene. It was a deleted scene where she's sitting next to Padme. All these years later, Rogue One comes out.

They need a Mon Mothma. They call her back up. They're like, hey, sorry we cut that scene. You were perfect for the role, though. Like, do you want to come back, play Mon Mothma 10 fucking 15 years later? She says yeah, and look at her now. She's got, like, a starring role in a series. This is the ultimate like brought Robbie.

You probably don't know this as much because I think you you were in college when you started at Barstool. But once you leave college and you send out a thousand resumes to a thousand different places and then you get to like a couple to the interview, maybe or not even that. And they'll be like, oh, we're going to keep your resume on file. And you're like that. You probably just lit it on fire and fucking you know flush it down the toilet this lady played my mothma tells you that may not be the case you may actually get the call back i guess she got the interview at the very least but um that's awesome man good for her i had no idea bridges that's like a great lesson and just like keeping connections basically you never know what's gonna happen if she went on twitter it was just like fuck revenge actually i guess twitter wasn't around back then but that

would have been that would have been a bad idea so cassian arrives to ferrix and he has a little flash bachta to his father clem we get one more clem moment for the season where he's showing him we got clem in this season um he meets up with his friend pegla in the flashback he sees like basically like his dad like putting together what was he putting was it a bomb uh i thought it looked like it was wires kind of like the beginning scene well the shit he was washing and shit too is that we're talking about yeah he's like put it in for two minutes no more no less take it out teaching him some shit how clean a blaster was he i don't know you know you know as my dumb star wars brain there's like only three things it could possibly

be and i thought they were power converters so i was like oh you just keep i take notes during my first watch of the episode and every time i miss like one thing that was the thing i missed on well they don't say it in my brain that's what uh you know i'm getting the power converters like that's what it looks like right there and there there is something, I forgot what it was. It was kind of funny because my dad did it like a couple of years ago. He had some very basic solution for something and he had something that was like metal.

And he's like, look at this. And he just put it in, took it out and everything was clean. I was like, what the fuck was that? It feels like one of those, our boy Clem. It wouldn't be hilarious if it was like he was an as seen on TV spokesman. Like that was his day job that he had this whole time.

He's like, and look at this Cassian. You put it in for just two minutes and it comes out clean. Don't spend 500 Imperial credits to get the new stuff. That's what they want you to do. Just get this solution for 1999. Put shipping and handling to anywhere in the galaxy. Shout out my guy, Clem. Absolute stud.

Sucks that they hanged him in the middle of fucking time. The town square that's real bad can we at least throw out the idea of a clem show a prequel to the prequel to a prequel that's me yeah the clem prequel to a prequel that is our show right there i love it and it's kind of a prequel to a prequel to a prequel yes one is a prequel to the original trilogy and or is a prequel to this clem would be a prequel to that clem a threequel all right waldron if you're listening like that's we're really relying a lot on waldron if you ever get a star wars show you say i want to do your only connect he's like guys i have like 800 different stories i'd rather tell than fucking clem it's

like no please just do clem. Just the Clem story.

Everybody is going to

be in that kitchen. At least I know when I was a dad, a new dad, and I tried Thanksgiving at my house, in way over my head, my skills were not high enough you get a year of hello fresh under your belt by next year thanksgiving 2023 you have leveled up you'll be like cassian at the end of rogue one instead of cassian now you'll have all the skills under your belt get them now with hello fresh delicious food get yourself some cheesy chicken let's ride yeah all right so we get a nemic narration here which is pretty powerful like obviously andor is looking through his manifesto and stuff and figuring out what made him tick and it ends with the word try he says remember try and i thought that was powerful

people are already saying you know it lays a parallel to the or a mirror to the uh do or do not there is no try there is a little bit of poetry here and it rhymes and they're saying now just fucking try we need the rebels to just try and we knew it would come back around but i gotta say they waited long enough for me to forget about it which is the perfect amount of time i forgot about the manifesto and then they hit me over the head with it this one so this is a uh definite pro to should you watch the uh previously on before an episode because i kind of revealed mimic yeah yeah they went back to the mimic book i'm like oh shit good thing we're gonna get that back and as he's speaking i'm like even with it even with watching the uh previously on as he was speaking, I still was like, what the fuck is this again?

And then it said Nemec. And then I like my brain slowly put it both together again. This was at like nine o'clock in the morning instead of five o'clock in the morning with my wits about me. And I still, I already had my coffee at that point. And I still was kind of having trouble putting it apart. So I'm sure there are people who at first are probably altogether like, what the fuck was that about?

And I loved all the stuff about the rebellion, So I'm sure there are people who at first are probably altogether like, what the fuck was that about? Ah. And I loved all the stuff about the rebellion, the littlest thing you do moves us up an inch. And he kept saying, remember this, remember this. And I think it was a device, like a literary device to bring you back. But at first I thought it was like podcasters who say um or like or – I mean podcaster as in me. I'm not saying other podcasters. This guy right here is just – I thought it was his crcasters who say um or like or i mean as in me i'm not saying other podcasters this guy right here it's just i thought it was his crutch that he was leaning on so i i loved it uh i it got me it he was and the way he this is something that was on the previous

sound but he's like they wanted you to have this like i don't even know if and or sees himself the way everyone else sees him until the end, obviously. Yeah. Awesome, though. And it wraps everything back to Aldani. It wraps everything back around to the beginning. And I loved that. Something that I said last week in the penultimate, that's one of my favorite parts of the show,

is that it feels like everything was important. It feels like they reward you for paying attention and paying attention to the entire series, not just episode by episode. Yes. And it makes you feel like the rebellion is bigger than it is because definitely we you wouldn't know you these guys the the guys in the um the uh what's it called nakina five or whatever some of those people probably weren't even like anti-emperor people empire people and now they fucking are the ones that survived and made it and just all these little people who have just been wrong i was wondering the guy is he's building that bomb in the beginning.

And he has that hologram up. Do you think that's his like dad or someone that got killed by the empire? And it's like, I was doing this for you. Yeah. I was, I was like, there's also a chance.

I'm like, this is probably a very well-known character. My dumb idiot. Star Wars brain doesn't know it. And I was going to look like an idiot. So as long as me and Bob are in this together, I feel good. I also love,

you said Nakina five. I believe it was narkina five but nakina five is how my mom would say i'd say nakina yeah whatever it is rob uh rob rob's in nakina right now he's not in he's not here right now he's doing something for basketball out there he's fighting the ufc fighter again do you want lasagna when you get back so dedra starts gearing up for the funeral, the Marva funeral, which they've said, you know, last episode they said, make sure it's small. Make sure that, you know, we'll allow them to have a funeral, but only a couple people will kind of listen in. We'll get the scope, the lay of the land.

And she says she wants Cassian alive. They're like, we'll put snipers up on the roof. She's like, no snipers. We wantian alive. They're like, we'll put snipers up on the roof. She's like, no snipers. We want them alive, which was a smart plot device for the finale to really, like, drive the tension towards is he getting captured? Because we know he's not going to die. So is he going to get captured? That's actually I never thought of. That's a great point.

And the way she keeps saying, do I have to stress this enough? Like, he doesn't. I like that she's kind of starting to feel her britches about her. It's like, look, I've got couple of lights added to this little badge here. Now these little fucking Imperial badges. I kind of like that. She was feeling herself. And also I forgot to mention when she arrived,

when she threw the cloak on and it's like walking through the city, did you get some Thrones vibes about that? Yeah, definitely some Thrones vibes. I thought of Krennic right away. Cause Krennic always used to wear that, you know, in Rogue One.

And I was like, oh shit, can we get Krennic in like season two I think that's a possibility I'm learning quickly that the only people that wear these hoods are people that don't want to be seen which that makes you it's like all right that person is wearing a hood that's clearly someone who is of higher rank that is this with with us commoners right now I thought that was so fucking fun but yeah having her um there and kind of just like she's kind of just flexing on these motherfuckers i dug it and she pushes back on kyburn because she finds out while

she's preparing that anto krieger and his crew that like the radon spell house happened they were all slaughtered they literally let them walk into the slaughter there and she's not happy about that she's like what what does a dead body do us like Like, I wanted them alive. I wanted information from them. So she's kind of like pissed about that. And she's over the phone. Like, how can nobody talk to me about this? It is interesting to see how the Empire, I guess, will make missteps along the way. We're about to see one.

But they will make missteps along the way because they are so big or they don't really think things out maybe. And it's like there's two voices or, know your higher ups can tell you as i've learned in life uh it's usually the people that are at the top of the org chart that don't know what exactly what's going on they're the ones who usually fuck things up so she's down there looking up like hey dickhead we can at least use one person we send the message but still have like uh you know take someone with them how about the dude is like hey you want to come watch it's like he's saying you know you don't go watch the super bowl it's like that's what he's doing about just like dead they probably just can't wait to get like the streaming visions like the dead soldiers the dead rebellion people fucked up and r.i.p my dog anton kruger kruger we never even met the guy

we just got a hologram yeah and i saw like the actor who played him posted like a funny tweet he was like hey for all the fat like bald men who like needed a star wars character to uh cosplay at comic-con this is my like this is my gift to you basically yeah well thanks and so as a bald fat star wars celebration is that guy people are like hey you didn't show up in costume like nobody remembers anto krieg no offense to anto krieger can i i'm do i go to star wars con next year and say i am anto krieger no offense to anto krieger can i i'm do i go to star wars con next year and say i am anto krieger and they'll just believe me i'll just start signing autographs and shit yeah you got to grow the beard out that's the only thing i could do that i guess take the glasses

off okay um yeah as long as i'm not reading it they're yeah they're they're reading glasses so as long as i'm not reading we'll be good so this is good to know me and bob are going to go to star wars celebration and i'm going to be anto Krieger. And you can dress up as Slave Leia again. You got the long hair now! I was going to say, I could be like Dedra or something. She dyes her hair. Cassian and his friend Brasso meet up underground,

and Brasso delivers him a final message from Marva that's very emotional. Shout out to Brasso for remembering all that, by the way. It was a long monologue that he was able to deliver I was trying to write it all down I'm like this fucking guy has it just in his brain And granted like if it's like a dying

Woman's wishes to her son I hope you could remember I hope he had like you think he wrote it down And like was like memorizing it memorizing You would hope you'd hope he got a recording or something You know but he probably would have played it if he did Well this is the thing, though. He was probably smart enough to, like, break it or destroy it.

Our fucking guy, Bail Organa, would have put it on the fucking, you know, Times Square of the city and be like, here you go, Andor Cassian. He would have accidentally made his answering machine. Fucking Bail Organa. Bail Morana. Bail Morana, that's right. Some of the lines here were awesome. Did you write any of them. Fail. Morana. Fail. Morana. That's right. Did you, some of the lines here were awesome.

Did you write any of them down? I did not write any of them down, but the final line gave me chills. Yeah. Tell him I love him more than anything he could do wrong. Like that is something I was just saying, like, that's something I wish I could just like tell my kids. I'm like,

listen, you guys are going to fuck up. We've already caught Sienna got ice cream at school twice this week. And she tried to say she didn't. And then I told her, I was like, oh, listen, honey, if someone else used your thing, that's fine. I'm sure they have cameras. I'm going to call the principal.

She's like, hmm, actually, now that I think about it, I might have done it twice. Let's just wait another week and we'll see if anyone ends up getting ice cream. We have like money in her account, right? So she's only supposed to get it on Friday if she's been good for for the whole week my wife gives her the green light but she had it twice this week so uh big time and the only reason we before friday unreal yeah and the only reason we knew is because uh our credit card that we use it had gotten like i think we changed the credit card or something so like then you had to get a new uh expiration date or something so it's like

hey you're about to run out of money. Little did we know. So like, we're like the empire looking back now. She's our little rebel. And we would have had no idea unless our credit card had come up. And it's kind of like how everything has just gone against our boy Andor here. And it's crazy.

So the other line here, to start off, and she's like, tell him none of this is his fault. And she's like, I already know everything. Everything he's thinking, tell him he knows everything he needs to know and feels everything he needs to feel. And when the day come and those two things pull together, he'll be an unstoppable force for good.

And then tell him I love him more than anything he could do wrong. And it's just like such a fucking mom line right there. It's like everything. She probably settles every little anxious feeling he has in him that you could squelch. Because I don't think you're going to get rid of those anxious feelings against the goddamn empire but oh just an awesome scene and last week we talked a lot about marva possibly not being dead possibly still being alive it was in this moment where i thought she's probably dead hand up hand up the basement

boys fucked up uh i would like to apologize for thinking Marva wasn't dead. This was all Robbie's fault. He was the one who convinced me. I did the dead dog. He did the dead old lady. We both fucked up. RIP our dog Marva. Yeah, RIP our dog Marva. Is that the hashtag this week?

Hashtag RIP our dog Marva? Yes, yes. We fucked up. We did wrong. She's very much dead. May she rest in peace in that brick we see our guy cereal and the other officer on their way they're on that like little bus that gets you to the town in ferrix and luthan and vel meet up still with the plan to kill cassium like

luthan i thought maybe he's gonna like lighten up a little bit and be like we don't need to do this we need to recruit him or something. No, he shows up. He's like, all right, let's kill this guy. It's like, whoa. I was like, oh, there's my dog Luthan. He fucking, yo, he threw that hoodie flip. And I was like, oh yeah, that's right.

That is the move of a leader. This is my guy. He's fucking Axis. After that speech a couple episodes ago, I am ready to rock for this guy. And he's like, oh yeah, we got to kill the main character. I was like, oh, God damn it, L god damn it luther like fuck he's very efficient this is why he's the axis because he's so fucking good it it just broke my heart us and cereal and his boy i think mosk is his name right i think you're right yeah they switch hats that was weird yeah why did they switch hats i don't get lice yeah and i was thinking have you ever switched hats with a

buddy no hell no my mom that was like my biggest fear growing up my mom like instilled it in me I don't know. You're going to get lice. Yeah. And I was thinking, have you ever switched hats with a buddy? No. Hell no. My mom, that was like my biggest fear growing up. My mom like instilled it in me. Like you'll get lice if you put on someone else's hat. I don't know if my mom is still the same. She might have when I, I don't really wear hats a lot. I look fucking good in hats. That's the most devastating thing about it.

It just bothers me. But I remember like a couple of times I'd change hats with a friend and A, I think I was going to have lice from them. And then B, when it's like warm, it's like sitting in someone's seat and it's warm. It's like, this just feels weird. Right.

And I mean, the thing is like Moscow, he fucking would do whatever for cereal. He's such a patsy for him. He's such like a typical, just friend, moron. I hate that guy so much.

So the clanging of the bell begins to, we see the bell tower guy hit you know the the thing and that signifies the start of the funeral in a way i think before the the empire the imperials thought it was going to start because they were starting soon and then immediately the guy just starts hitting them they're like all right here we go get the barricades up get the blockades up when he started clanging early i was got hyped. I'm like, they said, fuck your little, oh, wait two hours, and you guys can do this and that. I love that they're just like, this is exact.

And it's not a small funeral either. You could tell right away, like, okay, everyone in Ferrix is here for this. Have you? All right, Bob Fox, let's have a quick left-hand turn here. Was there ever a party at the Casa de Fox back in the day when Mama Fox was out that you threw with like having some friends over? Not that I threw, but that my older brother Mike threw. Okay.

A big, a big party. Yeah. And was it supposed to be a, you know, all right party and it turned into a big party? I think so. Yes. That happened at the Casa de Clem back, I think, senior year of high school. And it's horrifying. So this funeral, I imagine the Empire was just like,

fuck, there's a lot of people here. And, you know, these people. Almost the same thing as the prison break, where it's like, oh, there's just not that many of us compared to them. Yep, exactly. And the Anvil Klang, the Anvil Klang guy. Awesome.

He's awesome. He's what we thought the Gamorrean guards would be. Maybe this guy, a spin all right the clem prequel is the first uh series on the menu then anvil and tubes that's the fucking other series and this this all comes after we're wrapped production on baru which is the first spinoff we're doing um so the big dramatic march down the block happens down Rick's road. They start chanting stone and sky stone and sky. We see a Marva hologram pull up once they actually get there. B2 emo rolls his little cute ass to the front, displays this huge Marva hologram, gigantic so everyone could see it.

And she gives this impassioned speech about fighting the empire. She says at the end, fight the empire. Like she says, fuck the empire. It was great. And it put chills on my arms. This was just everything you would expect that of a Tony Gilroy written monologue after seeing the Lutheran ones, the Andy Serkis one, the Cassian ones, even the Namek one. It's just this guy knows how to write impassioned rebel speeches.

Yeah, I got hyped just thinking about it and seeing our boy, little B2 emo. in the Namek one. It's just this guy knows how to write impassioned rebel speeches. Yeah. I got hyped just thinking about it. Seeing our boy little B2 emo and he's just kind of just waddling. It's like when the kid is the flower girl or the ring bear. Everyone's just like, aww. And he's just popping up the hologram. I got a little bit of Tony Stark vibes where it's like hearing someone after they died.

Right? Which I apologize for any of the spoilers. It's been what now? Three years years three and a half years uh stone and sky i was chanting that not quite as good as one way out by the way i thought of a shirt for that and i don't think it would ever i don't think we'd sell enough but i think the merch team would stop talking to us the little itself but one way out and like the w is the rebellion sign i thought that would be a sweet i mean would definitely get us a cease and desist they didn't let us put out baby yoda merch this year for the first year ever really oh that's a bummer man i guess maybe be too emo shirts let's get some of those out

yeah um but all in all the band too i wrote the band stinks but that was just when they were warming up like this bed is fucking horrible no it was good when they were marching down it was a good band when it was when it got up and started it was everyone just getting their notes all together and everything um and i was like yeah like one thing that kept playing was like it was building tension over and over again yeah i was wondering if that i feel like that was part of like the device that they were going for is to get the tension up. Do you realize who wasn't there? Who? Max Rebo. And you know why he wasn't there?

Because he would have fucking ratted to the Empire so fucking fast. That sus elephant bastard. And you realize how everything went pretty much according to plan where they were able to rebel against the Empire. But if fucking that shady fuck Max Rebo was there, there's no way it would have been. I don't like that.

That Rebo slander. It's not. You see him sitting down all the time. What if Rebo is a paraplegic? What if he can't march Clem? You ever think about that? Now you're gaslighting me. Mom's box over here.

Andor finds Bix. She is in super rough shape. This is while everything kind of starts to unfold things start getting chaotic the empire tries to throw a towel over b2 emo they kick him over he's on his side i felt bad for our little guy but we see like cassian's friends use the fucking brick that marva is now made out of to beat people's ass metal Metal. Which is awesome. Metal. Marva would've loved that too. Marva would want that to be how her brick is used. That was probably her first thing. Like, listen, this is what I want you guys to do. Smash my brick over Imperial.

Beat some ass with me so I'm still kicking Imperial ass in the afterlife. And then someone throws a fucking bomb, like the guy from the beginning of the episode throws the bomb into the fray and it makes other bombs go off kind of like in a video game when you shoot like one red barrel and then the rest of them blow up explosives everywhere santa stabs an officer on her way out

she like sees an officer in an alleyway stabs that motherfucker um they go after the bell tower guy they're like get that guy in a bell tower get Get him to stop. This stormtrooper must have climbed up 30 flights of stairs just to get kicked off the second he got to the top. Amazing. That's some Batman shit, right? The first Batman we called it the bell tower. It's the bell tower too, right? Yeah. So it's kind of the same kind of ring.

That's a great call with the video game. I always love blowing up the gas station In Grand Theft Auto That was always my go-to move Or I always love those Firework Factory fires And it's just like It was kind of vibes of that in a way If you go back to If you go on Barstool Sports right now

You blog like Fireworks Factory I have at least three blogs I love that shit I could never blog it if people get hurt The minute it's like At least no casualties reported I'm like if someone got burned They won't be reading this in the burn unit

And it's going on BarstoolTours.com I love that I saw someone say it kind of just shows The imperial idiocy again Where they just have bombs just laying around Because they're not thinking Oh there might be a fucking riot in the middle of your square As you guys are closing in on a place that clearly has

anti-imperial sounds and i i almost undersold it and i apologize that marva speech was so fucking good when she's just like fight the empire i feel like there's good meme potential but this show is like unfortunately not big enough that i think a lot of people will get it it's gotten there throughout the season. It's gotten better where you see more discussion on Andor now. But it still doesn't feel like that Mandalorian level of weekly talking points for everyone. Yeah, exactly. And I'll tell you what. If I was at that funeral just as a friend of a family or just, I don't know, working

in town, I don't know. And if I didn't have a choice on the sides between the Empire Rebellion, no one had really done any harm to me i would have become a rebel a rebel for life just after seeing the way they fucking what they did to be to emo you don't you fucking dare that's worse than anything the empire the emperor has done that's any of any death star shit moving my guy fucking be to emo i mean is he a protected class he has a fucking stutter he's a stuttering joy yeah what the fuck are we doing here, people? I was so mad about that. These dudes, that dude's fighting with a clarinet.

What is the worst and best? All right, what's the best and worst instrument that you'd have to get into a fight with? Like, what would you want? What would you want to be playing? Like, I'm thinking the tuba, but that's a heavy fucking thing to be playing around, right? Too heavy.

I think you've got to go with a guitar or a bass. Like, Nikki Sixx famously got into a fight in the crowd and used his bass like an axe. Now, in my mind, I got scrawny arms. Basses are heavy, super heavy. So, like, much heavier than guitars. I would probably want a guitar. Just wield that thing like an axe. That's a good, okay.

And obviously, there is a little bit of history with that. So, you can go, I played the trombone. The trombone is good because you don't know how big is it. Boom. And I'm just moving around. It's like a jab. Yeah. And they're like, why are these people all falling? No one suspects the trombone player, my friends.

No one suspects the trombone player. So that's my goal. Trombone, guitar. I love it. Trombone's a good one or use a symbol like captain america shield you know yeah yes that's a good one she just smashed me like the head right in the middle of it and think about the trouble you go like you can play the trombone as you're hitting them and it's making sound there's a lot of ways we can go with this we got to get into an instrument

brawl one day yeah stuff to work you know how how has there not been a barstool video with an instrument brawl? Like a marching band gets into a fight with another marching band? That'd be awesome. Alright, 50,000 subscriptions on the My Mom Facing YouTube. I will get Portnoy to greenlight a instrument brawl featuring all your favorites. For some reason, I have Roan very much in the middle of this entire brawl. Yeah, Yo-Yo Ma,

he's in there. Or we're throwing musicians in there, too? Oh, fuck yeah. Serial saves Dedra from the madness Dedra is in the middle of it And she's not having a good time This is someone who's probably never seen combat In her life, in her career

And he saves her and he's all creepy about it Just their whole dynamic Is just I thought Dedra was going to get ripped apart by the mob like Faces of death like her like Body was just going to get ripped apart And there would just be like her suit and like a skeleton Looking like Beru and

Uncle Lo and R.I.P. and Peace I was so fucking mad that that didn't Happen because that it just shows She's living in this little imperial World where it's orders and it's Structure and it's I say it's structure and it's, I say what goes. And then it's like,

Oh yeah, the rebels, they don't give a flying fuck about your rules and he better be taken alive. They wanted, I think they were going to rip her apart if she stayed on the ground. And that, and our boy cereal,

he fucking just says peace mosque and just fucking takes his girl and runs. And mosque is just sitting there like Yo dude I thought we were doing this together And you know what though Cyril couldn't wait for the minute to ditch his friend He's like I gotta see about a girl kind of thing Some goodwill hunting stuff right

That's probably why he swapped hats He's like your hat looks better on me I'm gonna see a girl today She likes brown I can tell I've seen the way she looks at brown in like store shops Cause he's a sick fuck Yeah exactly And kind of goes with the ripping apart And like you said with Cinta I can tell I've seen the way she looks at Brown in like Store shops and like because he's a sick fuck Stalker yeah exactly And kind of goes with the ripping

Apart and like you said with Cinta Whenever I see someone in Star Wars Get like shivved it is so weird Because like you have lasers you have all these different things And seeing hangings and Stabbings it is like such a It's more brutal Yeah it's brutal almost archaic way of killing

Someone but it fucking works Even there was the one shot I think it was of Luthan in this episode Just like staring out over Ferex And you just hear in the distance like screams and blaster shots That was like whoa Usually you hear like pew pew But it was more like gunshot type

Blaster sounds with like screams I was like holy shit And the stormtroopers could actually hit their targets occasionally Which is I mean i don't want to i'm not rooting against the rels but it was kind of nice to see it was shown like multiple times in this series the stormtroopers are hitting targets yeah and though it's usually just like innocent civilians who are completely unarmed no jedis and stuff but yeah it is it is kind of weird and when he first arrived cereal which i listen i know his name is Cereal or whatever. I call him Cereal because that's all he eats is fucking cereal.

He had, like, the, I guarantee he had, like, the most evil boner of all time. Oh, yeah. Jesus, I can smell her. She's here. Like, those look like her footprints over there. He's, like, a dick-twisted fuck. He finds a hair on the ground. He's like, yep, that's hers.

Tastes it. Oh, sick fuck. Cassian gets fixed to safety, gets her on a ship and gets them off the planet he sticks around mon introduces her daughter to scold and son they don't really show us that it's just or they don't really like do a full scene of that they just show us a quick glimpse of it and you're like oh shit she's making a deal with the devil right now and then to end the episode cassian winds up on luthan ship like luthans firing his things up getting ready to leave you kind of sense like oh yeah cassian's waiting for

him he turns around and he's like you were here to kill me right and luthan is like yeah you didn't make it easy or whatever and he's like well i'll make it easy for you now kill me and he's like what he's like kill me or take me in he wants wants to join the rebellion. He'd rather die than not be a rebel. Great conclusion to his arc, season one, episode one to season one, episode 12, and great ending to the episode. But it doesn't end there. There is a poster, mid-credit scene, however you want to call it, where it turns out they were in fact building the Death Star in that prison. And not just building the Death Star in fact building the death star in that prison and not just building the death star but building the actual firing chamber building the part that is destroying

planets killing millions killing you know billions however many it might have killed do you think and a very cool reveal too do you think people on um alderaan did you lose anyone on Alderaan Did you lose anyone on Alderaan The people of Alderaan God damn Warren That was the sick post credit scene I heard there was one

I think actually Jeff D. Lowe told me God bless the people who like didn't know that And had to go back or hopefully didn't get it spoiled for them Star Wars like There's no such thing as Halfway Cooks There's no such thing as Halfway post credit scenes no such thing as halfway post-credits. You guys have new post-credits scenes at the end of every fucking series now,

because we do not want to be going through this, being like, oh, no fucking post-credits this time. You guys have fucking popped the cherry. You have to let it ride now. That's what I'm saying. As a Star Wars fan, you have to do this. Marvel, they're in deep now. The post-credits scene is some of the best things, and the post-credits scene have to be good, because this because this was awesome even though again if it's like oh we're back to

the star wars world no no no that death star is going to probably be a big part of season two right you would figure so it's here maybe they'll work on like the imperials i could see dead real like working on the death star yeah me too and like fuel like the the hatred of these guys after ferris is what's going to fuel her and everyone else also again it's like all right we're going back to the death star the thing of episode four the thing of episode six the thing of rogue one still makes it move still makes it move does it not it's not tattooing you know tattooing we're over tattooing you show dual sons cool whatever we've seen them didn't do any tattooing in this show and like you said the death star still does make a move still makes it totally does is this fucked up to admit those droids that were building it

were kind of cute some of them not all of them some were kind of they were spidery spidery for me but cool to see like that's how they built that shit in space and whatnot yeah and it makes perfect sense now it's like they're to build this entire fucking space station that could murder a planet, and it's going to be built using droids. It's going to be built using slave labor and probably the highest of the highest people in the Imperial clearance because this is something you don't want getting on CNN or any of the news channels. You can't have that going. You can't have a whistleblower going. So it kind of all makes sense that these guys were just fucked.

And it is very weird that Andor helped create the thing that ends up killing him, but he also ends up killing the thing that ends up killing him. So it is a very weird, like net neutral thing when it comes to him

and the motherfucking Death Star. Also great call by the basement boys on that being what they were building. We were onto that pretty early. A Basement Boys on that being what they were building. We were on to that pretty early. A plus for us on that. All right. Dead Woman is indeed dead. We were wrong about that.

She was not a human bomb, as you suggested. Man, we got into some Dark Knight stuff. That was beautiful. That got really fun there. Again, some of the most fun stuff is the stuff. And we have to also give up Uncle Dan, your uncle who said – Luthen and Holden. Harlow.

Uncle Harlow. Harlow, yeah. He says Luthen might be Uncle Harlow. And there was a point where I think he, like, gives a weird look. It's cereal, then Luthen, or Luthen, then cereal. And he gives a look. And I don't think he was looking at cereal, but I thought he was. Like, holy shit.

For a second, I thought the same thing. And you know what? we still have not met uncle harlow he's still fucking out there and there's a chance that if you ask the writer of um and or all right like when do we met uncle harley's really i don't fucking know like who's your strongly worded letter has to happen now yes now that's right i did say i was gonna i to write. Wow, what are the odds of this? Sitting right next to my desk. Loose-leaf paper and a pencil. Because my daughter, she draws Backstreet Boys stuff and

she does all this stuff. So I have loose-leaf and a pencil. I have to write. This is a sign from God. I want my Uncle Harlow and I want him now. Also, going back to Andor at the end just the way he like carries himself and the way the way bix looks at him right and she's like you always you know andor will find us uh b2 i never got to see you oh it broke my fucking heart it broke my heart

i and listen there's no chance zero percent chance b2 will ever touch r2 in my mind but if you don't love b2 emo after this first season what the problem is you my friend it is not the problem with b2 emo and our guy luthan how the fuck are you the axis this guy running a rebellion and you don't have simply safe on your ship like you don't have andor sneaks right on i thought the same thing that was so fun and like he and i know he's like wait a minute i think someone's here dude if andor wanted you dead yeah he turns around and andor's got the gun to him already or whatever you know like dude yeah what the fuck i saw i i that i'm a little worried about luthen right now or he might be the part he's like fuck it if i die i die like get me out of

this fucking thing that really got me upset. So I was a little pissed off at our boy Luthan for that. No Simplies. Actually, Simplies Safe isn't sponsoring this episode.

Now let's get into the andor awards the finale awards we have mvp lvp rookie of the year planet of the year and best moment do you want to start with the big one mvp right off the bat uh yeah let's start okay and i added another one best episode i added that one okay i want to work yeah could work? Yeah. I think there's probably like three or four that are in the mix. My favorite comes to mind like that. Okay.

Yeah, mine too. We'll start with – all right. Should we start with – should we end with that? We might want to end with MVP. Should we end with MVP or best moment? Let's ask you. The two big ones. It's not that, but they're listening and watching.

Fuck it. Let's just – we'll just rock They're listening and watching. Fuck it. Let's just, we'll just rock with MVP. It's all with MVP. Kick it off with a huge one. My MVP. I flip flopped on. I wrote down one name initially.

And then I said, you know what? I'm going to remove that. I'm going to write down a different name. My MVP is Cassian Andor. I said, after the entire season, I'm going back to the title character.

It might be the chalk pick but he's the one where at the beginning of the season i gotta be honest i didn't care that much about the character i like like you said i liked him in rogue one i love that as a movie but i wasn't leaving that movie like i'm a cassian andor guy now leaving this series i'm a cassian andor guy so diego luna's acting the whole time that his dialogue his journey his arc all of that makes andor my mvp that's fair that's fair uh andor you picked him in that draft we had two and that's just looking better and better as a as a picnic you drafted it was it even before the whole season or was it after like the first couple i think it might

have been after the first couple episodes yeah so. So nonetheless, so you've got them at plus like 2000 on the sports book and now he might have been the favorite, my MVP. I don't know if this was yours. I'm going Luthen. That's who I had. Yeah. Okay.

I'm going Luthen just because he's obviously the straw that stirs the drink for all this. And the speech was absolutely phenomenal. Again, I tweeted out the speech on Twitter for anyone that wants to see it. I just got it off of YouTube and check out the YouTube guy who did it, obviously, where his speech,

and then you're watching all the rebels basically rebel against the Empire thanks to all the groundwork he laid. And I was between him. I was between Andor. I was even between our boy Keno Boy because he had a fucking great arc. I know, you know, Mon Mothma.

Mon was on the list as well, for sure. However, the thing that separated him from everyone else was he has the nickname Axis. And that is such a fucking sweet name. And I was like, alright, I gotta give you MVP, dude. I do think there's a chance where Cassian

becomes the new Axis of this all. If Luthan dies. And I feel like our boy Luthan isn't long for this world because i feel like we would have bumped into him or heard from him and i granted i know the movies were all made before this show was made but there's going to be a reason why this guy is just not here right and also his whole speech where he basically says like he's given everything like i'm happy they didn't kill him in season one but i wouldn't have been surprised

if he died for something in season one and then they had to you know go on without him in season two i'm glad that we're gonna get more of him yeah me too me and the the most impressive thing for him is that the actor is now luthen to me he was the guy from thor who i can never remember his name and scars guard yeah goodwill hunting too and then goodwill hunting is his like it was his b like thing on the list. And now he is Luthan first and foremost after just one season. That's pretty impressive because he's in fucking Avengers. It's not like he's just in like one Marvel movie.

He's a big part of it. And it's, it's like, um, Karketty was, the guy was, the actor was Karketty to me forever. And now he is just Littlefinger.

And that is, you know, I'm not going to say this guy's a Littlefinger and that is you know I'm not gonna say this guy's a Littlefinger in my book that is a very hollowed point but it's the same kind of thing where the the the actor I was calling him Karketty for like two or three seasons I'm like is that his character on The Wire yeah he's he's a mayor in The Wire and I was always like nope still Karketty and then like after like the 10th most treacherous thing Littlefinger's ever done in a row I was like all, he's fucking Littlefinger.

And just like our boy Luth in here. Other than this, like his only fuck up for me is the security alarm, which I still do not understand. Now, I guess you could say like there's a chance Andor picked the alarm, did some sort of Andor shit. I'm going to tell my, maybe I'll tell myself. Clem showed him how to do, you know? Exactly.

The LVP. Now I i this is my lvp i dislike so much that i'm not even positive i got his name right tim was it tim in the beginning with two m's fuck this guy this guy was the one to rat out cassian in the first place just because he was jealous of bix and all their their past or whatever fuck this guy tim's the boyfriend the ex-boyfriend yeah yeah yeah tim is the lb i think his name was tim right it was tim yeah i think i'm pretty sure if it was that was tom it was like again it was all everything was just one letter up from a real name so if it wasn't tim it was tom with two m's uh that that's probably that was going to be my choice so i'll think of someone different he had

a punchable face i just from the from the end, he didn't have, he didn't even last long. So he really did. He did numbers with his performance by putting up such a treacherous, hateful performance with so little time. So, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to, I'm going to pick someone as LVP who's maybe not the least valuable because I made actually a very important thing. It did a very important thing did a very

important thing that's going to definitely come back in season two but i'll just choose cereal just because he's just the worst he's just the pits like that guy the his only friend in the world he just ditched for his girl which again it's gonna probably pay off for him i did i thought there was a chance for sex there and i was like this is very weird sex during a battle scene that was a funeral at one point and it's a riot going on outside but i was like he's gonna probably get in and at some point but cereal like and his mom his mom i was gonna say oh there's also a chance for all the love about uncle harlow he's gonna suck even more than the other two and we're gonna hate this guy more than anybody else uh but i'll just give it to cereal no he doesn't deserve the

ldp award i'm still gonna give it to him rookie of the year i think we might have the same okay for this one this is character with very little screen time here that's how we're gonna do because everyone's a rookie basically except for like the people that were in rogue one right yeah and so we may have the same one we may not but this is a character that truly didn't have a lot of screen time, and I fell in love with him. B2 Emo. Yep. So I originally created this award for someone else, and then I thought about it. I was like, well, B2 Emo's.

I can't not choose B2 Emo. Like it has to. He had so little screen time, too. I expected a lot more B2 Emo this season. I expected every episode us getting some funny B2 Emo shenanigans. He was only in a couple. When you told me, you're like, B2 Emo's going going to be with you on the youtube you're going to have a little i know he's been on our youtube every week but like and it's like does he and he was he's not

nearly as big as we thought he was going to be because that's how often are the droids just like every i mean obviously you start with fucking c3po and r2d2 and they've been in all the shit and there's usually it was actually kind of weird how BB-8 kind of did get put to the background after the first episode after Force Awakens he's in The Last Jedi

he has that one Last Jedi that people don't like where he's on the AT-ST I think that's a cool moment oh Bob don't come on Bob you don't think that's cool yes it. Oh, Bob, don't. Come on, Bob. You don't think that's cool? Yes, it is. When he fucking... It's already hooked up, so it steps out, and the fucking thing rips off the top of it

and reveals he's controlling it. You don't think a droid could control another droid? Come on. It's like when Bruce Willis flies the car into the helicopter in Die Hard 4, and it's like, listen, I know it's... I like Die Hard 4. I know, because come fucking... I don't like Die Hard 5. Die Hard 4. As long as you're listen, I know it's... I like Die Hard 4. Oh, I know. Because come fucking... I don't like Die Hard 5. All right.

Die Hard 4. As long as you're out on Die Hard 5. You were like... Kevin Smith and Justin Long. Yeah, great movie. Fuck Justin Long, too. I've had enough of him. Oh, no.

Yeah. Justin Long. I didn't buy a Mac for years just because of those fucking commercials. They were great commercials. They were so fucking douchey. Oh, I'm a Mac. It was a fucking douchey fucking thing.

They made the guy look like a goddamn ass clown for Windows. And, you know, obviously, it was basically like a Bill Gates diss track. I fucking, and now I have Apple. And everything in my life is Mac. And I love it. And it's like 10 years later than it should have been. Because Justin Long was such a fucking, like, all-knowing prick. So fuck Die Hard 4 and fuck – all right.

We got to do it. I went off the rails. I apologize. Justin Long, you're welcome on the show whenever. Yeah, you can host instead of me. I will not be on the show. Justin Long, don't have Jimmy Fallon on either. I fucking hate that guy too.

I like Jimmy Fallon. Bob, you like Jimmy Fallon? Yeah. You like those fake laughs and the over-the-top nonsense? I know. He gets too much hate. He's a happy guy. Did you know – and this will tug at you a little bit, your heartstrings. I know he gets too much hate. He's a happy guy. Did you know,

and this will tug at you a little bit, your heartstrings. I know you're not like a diehard sports fan. He was, he grew up. I believe. I know. He went from Mets to Yankees to Red Sox in some order.

And still appears at Yankees games, which is a little bit weird. He was at Jeter's last game and he's in behind home plate doing the weird claps. That, that is a little weird. That claps. That is a little weird. That's a little weird. And the over-the-top laughing.

But I got to say, I hate the Red Sox. I think Fever Pitch is a funny movie. I like Fever. I also like the Red Sox. When he's out to dinner with the in-laws' parents or his in-laws, basically, and he has the game recording at home, but they're eating lobster, so he's like he can't cover his ears he's like ah it's so funny i i do enjoy that again the metsox connection of hating

the yankees so i just hate that a guy like him got such a role that would have meant so much like a real red sox fan or just a fan of a guy who wasn't i mean it's like you can't be a metson a yankees fan you can't be a yankees and a red sox fan. I guess you could be a Mets and a Red Sox fan. I have no problem with those people. But fucking all three, patooey. Dislike. Anyway, BBEmo, better than pretty much any droid. Kim and K2SO, if they're in it together next season, that's going to be an awesome combination. I can't wait.

I can't wait either. The guy who I originally wrote this award for, so I guess I'll choose him if you're choosing between mo my guy tubes i'm not gonna say keno or something not tubes no tubes i think keno was too good for the year yeah yeah it's just that's that's gonna like bubba bix and it was tubes are my two like just funny lines from this this season that is always gonna make me laugh that's so funny all right episode of the season episode of the year this is an easy easy call for me it's episode 10 it's the jailbreak episode i thought the finale was really good i thought the eye was really good when we actually did the the whole heist on aldani but man episode 10 that was all-time star wars for me yep me too i after i sent it out because i sent it with episode 10 in mind i actually watched episode 10 last night just the jailbreak scene just to kind of

get hyped and i was like man this is just as good as it was the first time and there's not a lot sometimes you'll go back on these things with the shows especially and be kind of like oh you know it was a little better when you didn't know what's going on still got me hyped i the that's movie quality that whole episode is like legit as good as a movie yeah and the again we're taking notes during a lot of so i really didn't get it like the the real way the real experience absolutely nailed it i think 10 is by far the answer um maybe episode probably put episode 60, I, next. I think I would. Is that with Aldani? That's where they, okay, the Aldani scene. Episode, some people might choose three because of the way three ended.

Yep. Even the episode before the jailbreak, I thought was really, really good when they end it with never more than 12. Yeah, yeah, that's a good line. That's a good episode as well. Even episode, did we like 11? Did we like the pen?

I think the penultimate was pretty good. I liked it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. This one had some moments as well. Even episode. Did we like 11? Do we like the pen? I think the penultimate. Yeah. Yeah. This one had some moments as well, but I think 10 is by far like that is the moment. Like I said, in the wire, when you find out they jump over the five on the phone, that is the one where it's like,

Oh, this show is so much more than I thought it was going to be. And it's fucking just like movie quality. Perfect way to put it. Brought it to the next level. And then best moment, the final award we'll be giving out. No, no planet of the next level and then best moment the final award we'll be giving out no no planet of the year oh planet of the year skipped over duh um this one

was also pretty easy for me i picked niamos i love beach planets in star wars so like naboo when they're looking over the water and it just looks like italy i think that's great i love scarif from rogue one that's like one of my favorite star Wars planets So it was pretty easy for me to pick the beach planet I like beach planets in Star Wars I made this with Niamh in mind I wish my boy Andor Just never lost it I know the rebellion would be much worse off for him

But I hope he was just fucking living off that bank That was hidden in his shower He's bringing home nice pretty young ladies there Whatever, alien race Whatever he wants to bring home Just have a good free loving life uh i guess whenever marva died he was gonna go back home right so i guess this was gonna happen no matter and home was good too ferric's welcome addition to the star wars universe there's a different planet a different look a little thronesy a little gritty like very good planets in the show narkina 5 the prison had a good aesthetic

pretty pretty much nailed the aesthetic in the show narkina five the prison had a good aesthetic pretty pretty much nailed the aesthetic in the show and course i looked as good as ever yeah i was very happy with all the planets there was nothing i was like all right let's get out of this goddamn place no deserts growth that's no sand rewards people tony gilroy says i don't like sand gets everywhere uh so i so you're choosing almost all all right i was actually gonna think this because i was like if i choose a different one is it weird to say narkina 5 is a planet no like because it was a pretty cool planet we even saw like when they escaped and saw those alien people like we saw parts of the planet yeah and it was like i don't i do not i do not appreciate the prison camp that

is on said planet but everything else there is pretty fucking cool. And those fucking Minnesota fishermen were like the best. They were so... Let's throw a fucking throw a Disney Plus series at them too. Why not? Why not? Oh, by the way. By the way. Me and Bob watched, or at least I watched the Baby Yoda.

Oh, I didn't watch it. So there is a short. I'm sure people might have saw it on their carousel at one point on Disney Plus. It's like a seven minute. It's called like Baby Yoda And like the dust bunnies It was And I'm sure people who are like art majors

Probably loved it It was the biggest hunk of shit I've ever seen in my life What the fuck is Disney, Star Wars, Bob Iger Whoever's watching or listening Don't you ever use Baby Yoda to push some nonsense like that again Listen, you want to do some cool shit Some fucking shit that Vel would get really high to

And just vibe to That's cool with me But don't throw Baby Yoda He's a capitalist machine right now Don't you throw him Because then I'm watching with my kids And then by the second my kids are like Dad turn this shit up

My daughter said it was a Yule log And I think she heard us call it a Yule log Because I'm like you don't know what a Yule log is So she must have heard the podcast a yule log because i'm like really know what a yule log is so she must have heard the podcast she's sneaky listening to the podcast she's gonna be like yeah don't talk about my ice cream endeavors on the podcast anymore she's like uh and or looking in from her room and a little crack in the ceiling and then best moment best moment of the season this was a tough one there were a couple really really great moments but it all comes back to the one that i think you and i talked about the most for me and that's luth and speech at the end of episode 10 that was an all-time star wars moment the aesthetic of it

the vibe of it the way it came at the end of that awesome prison break episode it was all building up to you know a big action scene basically to break out of the prison and then they ended it on on a whisper almost you know instead of a bang ended it with a whisper where he's he's got the cape flowing in the wind he's on that catwalk shares his dreams with ghosts he has no safety everything he said and the video that we've referenced a bunch where it just puts a bunch of star wars clips up against it. Make that the best moment of the season for me. Shout out Stellan Skarsgård. It was part of the reason why I made Cassian my MVP.

I was like, Luthen was going to be the MVP. But I gave him best moment, so I shared the wealth, gave Cassian MVP. That's fair. That's fair. Also, I didn't shout this out. I loved in, just because you mentioned Andor, i don't have him in any in the best moment here i loved when he was in the hotel and he pulled the fucking gun on the dude in the hotel and the guy says sorry about your mom which was kind of weird yeah and then when he shot the dude in the heart our guy andor i love that he doesn't he he shoots first

ask questions last um so i'm big fan of andor overall but my best moment it was going to be between lucent's speech in that episode and then again the jailbreak Keno's speech in it, which is like that as you're seeing the prisoners escape, that whole moment, the whole jailbreak you can put as a moment, whatever it is. I think those are the reason why episode 10 I think is a slam dunk for us for best episode. The Keno stuff, the Luthen stuff, basically the second half of the episode all-time fucking great star wars shit uh i mean i'm thinking like brogue one darth vader almost level right yeah you just think of it when i think of rogue one i think of that scene i think of a couple other things as well but i think of andor and i think of those two moments which are from the same episode yeah when i think andor i, first, my mind goes back to that prison arc. It goes right back to him

in that white outfit and everything. It's only three episodes, but it was so fucking good that that's what's going to be the lasting memory. It was some dense shit, man. If it was like a cake, you know, it was a really dense part of it. All right, now let me ask you this, Bob.

This is the question people are asking right now. Better than Mando? Because it's sure as shit better than obi-wan sure as shit better than the book of boba fett i i didn't enjoy it as much as mando that's that's the distinction i feel like it might be like better it might be more well made from a film standpoint and all that but there's something about mando and baby yoda that i just love the most it's so different you know, and it was more, Mando felt like an event, you know, cause you had the different stuff.

I don't know. It's like, it's just so different. I don't know. I don't know. If you said to me, Robbie, I think Andor is a better show. I'd be like, I get it. It's different strokes for different folks. I wouldn't argue with you, but for me, I just prefer the Grogu show. Come on. The Grogu. And, well, you have Cassian.

You have this deep rebellion, the birth of it. And you just list off a hundred things that are great about Ender. It's like, and you have Baby Yoda on Mandalorian. And that's all you need to know. And that's why you're good. I mean, look at his eyes. You guys can see him in the little, little, little guys. Come on.

This guy? You're going to deny this guy? Come on, no. Now, if Mando had the fucking Dust Bunny baby Yoda that I had to watch, that was fucking garbage. You can maybe make the case. Which anime fans also may be upset with you about, because from what I understand,

the Grogu and the Dust Bunnies thing was the first collaboration between Studio Ghibli, which I may be saying wrong, and Star Wars. So they made my neighbor Totoro. I don't know how to say it. This is bad because I know it's such a famous movie. They're mad at you. Good. They're not going to be mad at me.

They're going to be mad at you. The anime guys, as Dave would say. Now if I walk into the office and Ken Jack punches me in the face without saying anything, I'll know it's because of the Baby Yoda thing. And my last question, I was going to say, we're not doing a fast food review. I'm not even going to tell you my question.

I'm going to give you the review for our Andor season one. You know what it is? What? It's Thanksgiving dinner, baby. Oh, nice. You got the big old turkey in the middle. You have your boy Andor. But there's all those sides and you put it all together.

We had the Mon Mothma storyline. We had that bitch boy cereal obviously andor and then you have the jail stuff the break you have deidre just moving up the corporate ladder ferrix our girl fucking marva bubba bix b2 emo you got it all and you just put it all together you just do you ever do that with thanksgiving do you just i just do a couple yeah where you just i want like every single thing on my plate in like a couple of fork fills. I've talked about it on the show before. My absolute favorite thing my mom makes is the Thanksgiving leftover pie. Yeah.

She puts everything in that pie together. Oh, it's like a Thanksgiving sandwich, but with a pie crust. And that is, I said this the other day, our boy Jordy, I know he's a listener. Well, shout out to our guy Jordy. He was saying, he blogged about, there was a sausage with all the Thanksgiving trimmings in there. You had stuffing, you had cranberry sauce, you had um i'm guessing it i don't know if it was pork or they somehow made like a turkey sausage or something and it's like are you down for this i am at the point where it's like i love my thanksgiving um sandwiches and i love my

thanksgiving wraps especially leading up to the big day however all of november and even the few days after pies pies. I saw there's a pizza in Pelham, a slice of pizza that they do. Oh, yeah, Bob, that's right. We're talking Bomber Fox's pie here. Anything you do, sausage, anything that just throws all those delicious foods together, and you can just

eat it in one bite at a time, absolutely perfect. So that's what this show was. It was a lot of stuff. It was good on its own, but it was great together. And the funeral scene kind of was all that, right? That was the meal. Everyone just came together there. So that was my food literary device of the night.

I loved it. It was very appropriate for this week. Happy Thanksgiving to all the listeners. We are very thankful to all of you for coming back and watching the show or listening to the show, getting the merch. Seen a lot of people getting the game of Thrones Christmas sweater we put out. So make sure you keep an eye on the Barstool sports store on black Friday, cyber Monday.
