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. I am your host, Robbie Fox, and along with me is the best co-pilot in the galaxy, Clem. We are back for another sort of free swim edition, but mostly the Last of Us recap edition. And of course, if you listened to last week, you know, we got a movie to talk about this week. We gave everyone a little bit of homework. And this week we're talking about Road Trip. Yeah, we found out Robbie has never seen Road Trip and didn't know who Tom Green was.

That was actually an in-person, my mom's basement, which was very fun at Barstool HQ. And I think we might've stumbled upon a potential new series here. I was trying to figure it out if it would be Foxbuster video or something like, you know, Blockbuster Bob or something like that where we just, you relive movie, you watch movies for the first time that I loved in my childhood or teenagehood

and we kind of just meet in the middle. And I mean, this was just a happy coincidence that road trip worked out perfectly because as soon as we we had the episode last week lunchfield chimed in about tom green i wrote a blog about tom green how there's an entire generation i think has to learn about him lady fox doesn't know about him either so it's clearly a uh a bigger thing than than just you and then uh road trip when you tweeted out you're watching road trip my mentions were on fire with and there was not like oh this movie it wasn't it was like oh my god hell yes this movie rules this movie is

a cult classic classic whatever you want to call it my mentions went so crazy when i tweeted i was watching it that it was the first real, like, Oh my God, I missed out on something. My whole life moment. Like you had told me, Oh my God, I can't believe you haven't seen this. You would love it. And I was like, yeah, I'm sure I would. I want to watch it.

When I tweeted that I was like, Oh, like I was missing something in my life. Everyone knew quotes and it wasn't just the same quote. It wasn't like everyone said the same thing. Everyone had a different quote, unleashed the fury had this a cheetah it was crazy how many different gifts came through and everything i was like all right holy shit euro trip might have to be next or i was gonna say what was what was the movie that you were trying to get me to watch forever and i still haven't is was it boogie nights boogie nights was was i was gonna say the next one would be boogie nights if i had to throw a new movie in there different kind of movie obviously

it's not it has funny moments in it but it's like a cop dramedy i don't even know what the it's just a good ass flick um but i i texted you how you said i'm gonna go watch road trip now and i said all right it was satisfaction guaranteed and you're like dude that's the perfect way to describe this movie took me 15 minutes to text you back and be like you were you were right i love this thing we'll talk about that we'll talk about the last of us we got a couple things that i want to talk about first though the first of which is i don't know if you saw my tweet i had a really bad commute home today i sat in mystery liquid on the train home so bad i just went right into the train and granted it was the path not the subway if

you're from the area you know the path is a little bit cleaner if you're not from the area path is just a train it's like a subway that goes from jersey to new york and back just one one path literally no pun intended that goes back and forth and it's a little bit cleaner than the subway so i was like all right if it was the subway i probably would have had toxic waste like you know burning through my sweatpants but it was the path it was clear liquid but i still i i don't know i think it could have been piss a clear mystery liquid i think i'd rather know what it was even if it was piss just so then i wouldn't you know a mystery like anything it could be ass, ass juice, Bob. I thought about everything. I thought about ass juice. I thought about water. I thought about

piss. I thought about vodka because it was clear. I was like, maybe it was some crazy guy with vodka on the subway, but yeah, I got home that, that those pants went right in the washing machine. It wasn't quite the Jersey Jerry. It was a catastrophe, but we're close. You know, I will say this about the path. I took, I think I've taken it like once in my life and I was like, It wasn't quite the Jersey Jerry. It was a catastrophe, but we're close, you know? I will say this about the path. I think I've taken it like once in my life and I was like, oh my God, this is like the subway, but clean. And it was a delightful trip. I didn't step in or sit in any kind of mystery liquids.

New York is famous for its garbage water where it just puddles on the sidewalk that just accumulates water and becomes this toxic goob of brown. The fact you're not a ninja turtle now, I think we could take out a lot of the toxic ooze out of the equation. Hey, maybe I'm like Ellie from The Last of Us. Maybe I'm immune. I was exposed to it. Let me see that arm. Let me see that arm.

I'm okay. I'm okay. I mean, it happens a lot with me, kind of the FOMO. Not really on a daily basis, but maybe a few times in a week where i just see what's going on at hq like oh man i wish i could be there but with the kids the kids were sick today so i couldn't even leave the house it was just a bunch of mayhem but i always want to get down there so much and just be a part of the hustle and flow but then i take the train home like just the one commute i do like in a month like i did last week for our live show and i'm like yeah i don't miss the city at all i lived here for a

while and i'm very happy just being up in the very spread out and quiet burbs because i think i had to wait two trains every train i was showing up was absolutely packed to the gills because there was some signal problem you know on the other side of manhattan and i was like yeah i don't miss this at all and then as a big fella you don't want to be getting on the other side of manhattan and i was like yeah i don't miss this at all and then as a big fella you don't want to be getting on the cram subway no one wants to get on a cram subway you don't want to get on the cram subway if you're a big fella after a long day and the dogs are barking so uh mystery liquid god bless you bob um speaking of fun days and fun weeks in the office it was a fun week in the office for me

because my dozen team made some big moves i made some big moves in the office it was a fun week in the office for me because my dozen team made some big moves i made some big moves in the dozen francis retired after spoiler alert our loss to your mom it was a kfc less your mom uh and gia francis filled in for him francis retired and quickly i decided let's pick up gia because she kicked our asses She put up six points in a match against us in her debut, and she's wanted a spot in the league forever. Plus I kind of wanted to get in Brandon Walker's head a little bit, getting Fran's sister, you know. Then we made a big move.

I made a big move. I talked to Mintz and we decided we're going to split up. It's like the Avengers in Civil War. Like the Avengers broke up, the Honkers broke up, and I traded Mintz for Chris Clemmer straight up to Flux. the avengers and civil war like the avengers broke up the honkers broke up and uh i traded mints for chris klemer straight up to flux so the honkers now consist of me gia fran's sister and klemer so fellas we would do that on pod fathers occasionally someone would just drop a sub fellas and then everyone would have to respond sub fellas it would just go around the room oh i

understand bob you gotta let me go. I understand the trade. You know, everyone has their own mints impression. He's like our dusty roads, you know, holy shit. Mincy is our dusty roads.

That is, I think the most apt comparison. I think it's a, I think it's a compliment to mince, you know, comparing them to the, to the great dusty roads, the American dream.

Mincy lives the American dream. I think we're, we all know that. That's true. That's true. He roads the american dream mincy lives the american dream i think we all know that's true that's true the american dream i love when the dozen has a little bit of drama or intrigue going on mince wrote a blog this morning uh saying francis has retired from the honkers and i was reading it i was editing it for the site and i was like you know what i think i'm just gonna throw it up as is and then apparently there's a request from francis do not edit a word of this blog i want it i think he's

gonna probably pick it apart in francis style which i just think this whole time like the funny thing about the honkers is we had a potential next barstool great barstool rivalry between a francis and a mincy two different people came from different parts of the country, different parts of the world, different parts of the universe, basically. Yeah. I think we could have some fun with this year.

So I look forward to that. Mincy was like, I don't want to say took shots in the blog, but there was a couple like needles at the very least. Right. You know, at me. Yeah.

He wrote a blog. He wrote a blog. He wrote another one. And he was like, I thought Robbie was a nice guy Like maybe not So I was like Whoa

Yeah But you know what I wished him well in his future endeavors And I told the cameras If Mintz would one day like to retire I am gracious enough to sign him to a one day contract So he could retire a hunker Man I got

Has the McMahon weighed in on this I need to know the McMahon Yeah I went and told the mcmahon i i told the mcmahon uh earlier and he was he was distraught about it that's that's the only word i could use to describe him and i understand it you know when he left it was all it was all rainbows and sunshine with the honkers we were a pretty great team yeah and yeah i mean champions first year always a force to be reckoned with but But that just goes to show kind of what, like,

Coley was kind of a big glue guy just in general. And then when the – what's the word I'm looking for? Chemistry gets mixed up a little. You never know what's going to happen. Like Team ZD right now, we're in a good place. Our last game, Dave was final answering before, like, Eddie got the words out of his mouth, and we just hit every single one, and that was always our biggest bugaboo.

And while we had Rico on the team, we always were just talking ourselves out of answers. So you guys got to find what happens. You kind of be, you got to be like a chiropractor, a line it up, crack the back and just find out what works. And I hope,

I hope for you, Bob Clemmer, Gia, Robbie Fox. I love the fact that you guys are like the tag team where like in like a year, who's going to be on the Hawkers? They might not even be at Barstool. They might not even be born. You guys might have an infant join your team next year.

And you can like figure out like baby foods. You'll just crush that category. There's a lot of people saying, oh, this team now has this category, you know, cornered or this category is a blind spot. You guys have some wild years covered because Clemmer's an old like me he's an old guy which helps I think you have two youngs right you and Gia however Jeff lives in that like late 2000s early 2010s range that might be a blind spot for the hot might be an issue yeah and listen I am not throwing stones the other day there was a question about who was the leading receiver he like played on the jets from 2016 to 2019 and like my brain had nothing and that's what at this point i almost said a couple years ago yeah it's like four years

ago so uh i'm completely shattered brain wise but i i think we the league is always good a little bit of chaos we get for hey fran's an absolute delight to have in the dozen. Having her sister can't be anything but good. It's actually like Wally Pipp. Like if KFC, say, got kicked off his team and Gia crushed, that would be Wally Pipping. What is it if you replace someone, the other team sees you, takes you off the team, and then she just becomes like a monster for you?

That's actually, now that I'm saying it out loud, that's how Fran got on the experts. Remember, she was with Nate and I believe, was it Trent? I think you're right about that. I don't think she was a fill-in. I think she was a part of the team. And then they played the experts and they're like, holy shit. And Nate was so pissed about her leaving because she was on his team, right?

Yeah, yeah. If you don't watch the dozen this segment was probably gibberish to you but i hope you do watch the dozen because it's a great show we do at barstool it's a trivia show me and clem are both involved and all that um it's also weird now that i've got a clem er i'm aligned with a clem and a clemmer i was in the office and someone kept kept saying clemmer And I kept turning around like, what? I was like, you know what? I couldn't come in here every single day.

I know Jeff's got a Robbie on Lights, Camera, Barstool now. And he sits right behind Jeff sometimes. Jeff will be like, Robbie. And we both turn like the Peter Parkers in No Way Home. Oscar nominations are out. The Batman picked up three. Sound, Makeup, and Hair. And VFX. And Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, picked up three sound makeup and hair and vfx and black panther wakanda forever

picked up five total the the highlight of course being angela bassett nominated for best supporting actress i hope she's able to win that i i definitely think she can uh i know carrie condon for banshees of inishirin is like favored or whatever i think she might be favored but i think angela bassett could win it would be huge for the marvel movies to pick up an acting oscar and a lot of people are talking about the batman getting snubbed for score which i agree i loved the batman score oh wow yeah i forgot about how good that score was um if marvel can get a win here from angela bassett maybe a-list celebrities will start taking those roles finally oh wait that's all they do

who's the biggest name in hollywood now to offer them a role who cares like it's it's i mean the eternals you look at that cast they had like selma hayek angelina jolie like they had so many giants they had fucking harry styles at the end of the movie john snow was like an afterthought. Yeah, he was. And they got Jon Snow's brother. They were like, let's get both of them. Yeah, yeah. They just throw all the Game of Thrones. And I can't believe he's, there was a time he had a chance.

I just remembered his name, Kit Harington, had a chance that he could have become Kit Harington. And he had a crush like his next movie or his next show, whatever it may be. But he's Jon Snow again. I'm yeah yeah and i'll say like someone like jeff he knows it though he's going back he's like you know what i gotta go back to westeros it's not working out out here he's going back we'll be covering that in the basement in like seven years if it actually gets made and and produced and all that stuff and i like i was just thinking do you think kfc's ready like do

you think he is ready to be basement boys where if we have thrones going i mean we were doing those shows right afterwards i infamously had to watch the mets game which is impossible to do at the same time as a fucking television show right next to it on my tvs uh i'm gonna have to talk to kev be like kev are you ready to do all these and we're dressing up like fucking idiots every single sunday i mean listen he's in amsterdam right now with burt kreischer let's just hope he doesn't come back looking like disheveled face king vizzy yeah oh my god it's like yeah kev lost his eye and half his face over there mushroom in amsterdam and you know they didn't have any milk of the poppy over there to

cure him breaking news i actually did text him um there was a story that i saw online and i was like oh 2010 kev would have had a field day with that which is basically would have been a lot of just problematic jokes and yeah and uh and he's like oh yeah i was like oh man i can't believe you survived answering him he goes i'm still over here i thought they were just doing 24 hours in and out and i was like oh shit you might still die you still have another like night in you so uh here's hoping our boy makes it back in one piece i actually have a basement related text to share from kevin this is i wasn't even planning on this but it just came up at 6 42 a.m our time i have no idea what time it was amsterdam he sent me a picture of a place called comics

import amsterdam and he said inside this joint is two million comic book items has first edition batman's super gross shit like that and he sold stuff for 250 000 and he actually put a picture of the place that and it's just a cia it looks like honestly an apartment it's a cia yeah through like a sign that they made at like the local pto okay i've actually i almost wrote like a tweet about it then i'm like could i do it as a blog i'll just say it's got on the pot how do stores like uh like and grocery stores or corporations or whatever that's one thing how does a store like that or a liquor store how do they get all their products in to then sell them because i go to the liquor store and i'm like all right that's a 50 bottle of booze and there's 10 of them that's a

and there's a full liquor depot stores how do they how do they like restaurant depot you ever been there yeah yeah you know. Well, restaurant Depot. Yeah. Those places. I feel like those places. No, like, but for alcohol, but like mom and pop versions of those, how do they stock the stores? Like, is it just straight up?

I bet same way. How? Like they go to the big Depot stores, but there's, you don't have enough money. Even if like you have, unless you take a monster loan, like, do you just. True. I mean, I don't know why I'm if like you have unless you take a monster loan like do you just true i mean i don't know why i'm talking like i know this i don't god damn it rob you you know you gotta have me convinced if i hadn't my mom just took me to restaurant depot once and my mind is blown i was like holy fuck there's a restaurant depot that opened down the road here and i've been like patiently waiting to get there and then i saw i have to have a uh you gotta have a membership

membership but my dad is a small business owner so so he can, he, and he can like, he can get in through that. So I told him, I was like, dad, get the thing. We're going to go to restaurant Depot. I'm a Costco guy, but this is closer and it's much more food related. So yeah, we're going to hit a restaurant Depot. Who would have thought restaurant Depot was brought up in the first part of the show. Hit that on your bingo cards. But okay. So hear me out though. The liquor store it's jam packed. Have you been to a liquor store, Rob? I actually have to ask. Yes. I've been to a liquor store. Come on. I've been there. Think about how many bottles of booze are in there. Does the liquor store be, does the liquor company be like, Hey,

listen, you put our stuff on the shelves and then you get it. Cause I just don't understand even with like business and the way it is. And i know businesses are a ton of money to start up i just don't understand how like i feel like everything in there granted a 50 bottle of booze you're not getting from the distributor for 50 bucks but still it's like a million dollars is worth of shit in there i just don't understand it and then the comic book store is the same kind of thing like how are these places they have all these goddamn comic books in there especially if you're dealing with some old collectors vintage items maybe it's just my poor person brain not comprehending how the world or business works but it just fucks me up okay yeah we wouldn't be good at running a store that's what we just found out yes i could have basically had my dad's store

handed to me and i was just like no i don't have the brain for this i don't want to like make the family business uh go down in flames so so I'm going to politely pass. By the way, you mentioned we were talking about the other stuff. Are you a succession guy? Because I just blogged about the trailer. Oh, big succession guy. Yes, let's go. Can't wait for season four.

Maybe we'll dabble in that in the basement at some point. Yeah, slick back our hair, throw on some suits, do podcasts like that at a boardroom. Who's your person? Do you have a person or people? Oh, I mean, I'm like kind of a basic bitch answer. I'm a Greg and Tom guy. Yes, Greg the Egg is like, if you're not a Greg the Egg guy or girl, turn the podcast off, throw your phone into the water.

I also like Connor's soon-to-be wife. Yes. Hilda? H Yes. Hilda? Hilda? Something like that. Might be Willa. I think it's Willa. I think it's Willa.

Yeah. I just feel bad for her. I'm like, all of these people are horrible, kind of, except her. I mean, she's in and out a little bit. She's dipping her toes in the water. But, yeah, I feel bad for her. I like Greg the Egg, and everyone else on the show just makes me cringe and laugh at the same time i've i've developed the shiv wagon i've started the shiv wagon which is

uh and it's just it's just i feel i just feel something i feel like i've had a new brand stark that's gonna end up on the throne by hook or by crook so i don't know why but we're down bad after after the season three finale. That much is obvious. Speaking of family businesses, we were talking about family businesses. One of my favorite family businesses is the Irish beef shop in The Bear, one of our favorite shows of the last year. And Ayo Edebiri, I hope I said her last name right, one of the stars of The Bear. It's like her and that Jeremy Allen white guy and cousin from Andor.

The three of them. They're the stars. She is the lead woman in the bear. It's like her and that Jeremy Allen, white guy and cousin for Mandor. Three of them. They're the stars. She is the lead woman in the show was just cast in Thunderbolts. And that immediately piqued my interest in that movie more than I had been. Like I, I'm of course going to see it's a Marvel movie. I love Marvel. They got me based on that alone.

But you tell me she's in this movie and I'm immediately like, oh shit. I hope she me she's in this movie and i'm immediately like oh shit i hope she gets screen time in that movie i hope you give her a role where she's like chasing down the thunderbolts or giving them orders some people in the replies are speculating that she could be playing a hero slash villain called songbird i don't know much about songbird we could have jose in to uh talk about her if that becomes a reality but this isn't even rumors this is just people in the replies of the tweet that i looked at the reply guys yeah so um i'm looking at songbird here interesting looking character i looked at her like you wouldn't be able to tell

that it's not like she looks like the character i think people are just speculating that songbird might be a part of the team yeah Yeah. And I'll say like, it could work as a, like you said, a cop or someone that's even just in like a random person. I just love this actress. I love, I love the bear.

And again, I always talk about it. Rico and Dante blog, the same blog, basically at the same time on the same day about how the bear is like must watch. And I was like, I got to publish these both at the same time time because what are the fucking odds of that and then

i was like and i have to watch the show obviously and it was a home run uh it comes out this summer i looked it up remember we were talking i think last episode it definitely comes up this summer it's coming out so uh awesome actress i was like rooting for her character even though she kind of like goes at odds with the guy at some point i really liked her character in the show so you just root for them to like make up you know yeah yeah you guys shouldn't be fighting you guys should be working together and that's one of the signs of a great show um speaking of a great show let's get into the last of us episode two this was a great continuation of the premiere it felt like i tweeted it felt like a classic episode of the

walking dead to me and that like we were watching the i was bit by a zombie but i don't want to tell you and we're making it through and i'll sacrifice and all of that kind of dynamic i got some replies that people were like don't you dare compare this to that piece of shit show i'm like people walking dead was great in the beginning this is a a compliment. I was trying to pay it. But I really, really enjoyed episode two. I might have liked it even more than the premiere. So I love that people are saying that about Walking Dead because it's someone that never watched Walking Dead. I'm like, no, I didn't see Walking Dead.

I watched The Last of Us. I don't need time for that piece of shit, even though I never watched a minute of it. I know it was good at one point. Also, the show, the after show, talking dead was one of the greatest names ever that was such a it was with hardwick yeah i watched that every single week it was like me and my buddies had a group chat about it it was appointment viewing it was appointment viewing man different world back then uh i loved i loved this this episode was good the beginning of it was my favorite, though, by far. Yeah, with the doctor in Jakarta. I feel like every episode might begin with something like this,

where that stuff wasn't in the game. Last week began with Big Head talking about the virus spreading and everything. This week, we learn about the virus a little bit with the doctor researching it. It comes from flour and wheat, and Jakarta has the biggest flour and wheat factory in the world i learned that from uh i think it was heavy spoilers or new rock stars i watched one of their videos on it but i loved that as well and like seeing her take the fungi out of the mouth and it grows towards her and shit people are speculating that she might

be infected already that's why it's growing towards her i didn't even think about that and i didn't i did not realize that about the green and wheat i have to i guess i have to watch the the videos now breaking everything down so i actually learn stuff so this thing by the time they found out this shit's already out it's already out of the bag you know um all that kind of stuff i always come back to just thinking man covid sucked and we got off lightly with cold because this shit is so fucked. Papa Club, actually, I was at their house the other day. And he literally had the first scene on with Big Head. I was like, oh, you're going to get it.

He's like, yeah, I'm getting it now. So I just texted him. I said, what do you think of Last of Us? I can't wait to see what he thinks of it. When the teacup starts shaking in her head and that was another reason why people think she might be infected that's a sign oh is it really yeah i did not notice that and that's in this episode i think joel's looking at his hand and he's like i think it's a hairline fracture from beating the shit out of that guard last week and i think uh is it tess uh yeah tess was looking

at him like a little bit crooked because she was like your hand's shaking man like what's going on here and then ironic enough obviously spoilers later on um and then when she goes bomb start bombing bomb the city and everyone inside of it i was like holy fuck crazy she does say i have to go back with my family which i mean i was like that's a very rational thing to say but at the same point it's say I have to go back with my family, which I mean, I was like, that's a very rational thing to say. But at the same point, it's like I have to go back with my family because I am infected. And I don't want you to find out if I'm infected, which let's be honest, this bitch is dead in this fucking world no matter what. Right. Well, in the video I watched, they pointed out that when she was initially like brought in she was at a restaurant eating yeah and they were like

i think she was eating like breaded chicken or something that something that could have had flour in it and then they point out and this blew my mind and shout out new rock stars again or heavy i think that this was actually heavy spoilers i want heavy spoiler i like heavy spoilers he follows me on twitter he's my favorite guy so we're gonna shout out he follows you on twitter i forgot about that yeah i like him as well he made a great great breakdown on this he pointed out all of the moments in episode one where they avoided flower our main characters it's like he gets home late from work and she's like we're not gonna eat that birthday cake and he's like nah it's too late in the morning they're eating bacon and eggs and the brother comes down and he's like no

pancakes this morning and they're like we made bacon and eggs dude the neighbors offer her the fucking cookies and she turns them down because they have the raisins in them bob guess what i packed for today's episode oh come on you got raisin cookies well you better be careful you might be infected now it's worth it you hear this guys at home that is so good wow you even brought the prop I love it we went to Costco and I was like

all I've been thinking about is fucking oatmeal raisin cookies and someone hit me up I didn't write the name down said the shop right has an incredible oatmeal raisin. And I have to go there and get them next. But I bought the three-pack from Costco. And I know, again, no one else is going to touch the oatmeal raisin other than Pops here because he likes the raisins.

So I'm eating my oatmeal raisin. Shit like that. That's the kind of shows I love. The little details. And granted, I need someone to point this out for me. Hence why I need to have these spoilers in my life or you tell me about this stuff but i mean that's why i get again 9 p.m slot on hbo that's how you know a show is fucking good it's in the heavy hitter spot just like succession just like thrones i actually i meant to tweet it out i never did at like it was

football probably between the games i was like oh fuck yeah we have a last of us tonight i'm at that point i'm already getting excited about the show. That's a good thing for the show. I felt the same way at the end of this episode. I said to my girlfriend, I was like, man, like that was like heartbreaking. And I was holding my breath the whole time. And we're on week two. Like I've already gotten to that point.

You know, sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to like basically have an emotional attachment to the characters. But this show i'm with him right away i mean it helps that it's pedro pascal too and i can't unhear the mandalorian when he talks like i know he's a great actor he's in a million different things but when he talks i'm like oh shit it's fucking mando i think he'll forever be over into me but i i don't know if uh well in in over and he's doing a bit of an accent, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that's where some of the lines was like, if I closed my eyes and they put that little vocal filter on him,

this could be just a line from season three of Mandalorian. You're the guy, you're the guy. If he, if by the end of this show, if he is able to be Joe instead of Oberyn, that's as good a compliment as you get Joel. Joel. Cause when, uh,

when little finger became little finger instead of Tommy Karketty from the wire, which granted was only two seasons of him. I was like, holy shit. I never in a million years would have thought that Karketty would no longer be Karketty. And I'll be interested to see if he can shed the Oberyn or even Mando.

I mean, at this point, say Oberyn at this point but he's always in the mask though he's always in the mask but he is Mando yeah Bob let's be honest here

baby Yoda's Mando watch your fucking tone watch your fucking tone there Clem I appreciate let's be honest yeah eat your oatmeal raisin cookie um we actually see you mentioned they talk about bomb the city we see the craters in this episode and it was fucking cool when they're walking through the city it's ellie's first time seeing a lot of this stuff so they're explaining it to her as they go along we meet our first clicker

in the museum and oh my god as terrifying as they are in the game and we see this is what one of the few things i remember from actually playing the game the skyscrapers that we saw like one leaning up against the other one that's a big part of the game i remember you have to go up one to like evade the the police the federal whatever federa whatever you go up one and down the other one and it was like a very fun game that's i think that's where you see the first clicker in the game if i remember correctly i could be completely wrong about that it's been 10 years the empty city shots were amazing and i kind of just took a step back i don't really like uh scenery is one of the things that when someone

points it out you just think about it for a minute like thrones some of the show i'm like how do we live on the same planet where this stuff is from and i i don't know how like it's just incredible that it could be you know boston or wherever it may be and just seeing it just it's it's wild and then like you said the bombings and i'm like oh fuck and they said like this it worked well in this city right but other cities didn't work as well and god knows what they're like or were like uh it kind of just i don't know i just love learning the story every single week like you said i wrote down i love the overgrown aesthetic of the show and the game you know it's very similar in both um you just ate a delicious oatmeal cookie they are eating crop bars which are some of the

most disgusting looking things I've ever seen. A little like, it almost looks like beef jerky. If it was hard, if it had the consistency of a pack of bubble gum, that's been in a pack of trading cards for 50 years, you know, have you ever ate one of those years after?

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yes. We do disintegrates in your mouth. Kind of like sometimes shards off and cuts your mouth. Yeah. There's a lot of bad ways a lot of things can go wrong if you guys do that but ellie's eating like a like a queen because she could eat

the fucking wheat she doesn't have that wheat allergy she she's eating a chicken sandwich oh i didn't even think of that side of everything too yeah man i was in the mood for a deli sandwich too it was nine at night i'm like i'm not getting a deli sandwich right now but nice chicken sandwich or whatever it was oh so good all right go-to sandwich at a like pizza like italian sandwich pizzeria or whatever you have a go i like i like a standard italian hero like if i go to jersey mike's that like if that's a big thing down the shore if we're going to the beach we'll all pick up sandwiches jersey mike's because it's right up the block i'll go with a standard italian hero i'm a turkey guy usually but i was thinking more of like i was thinking pizzeria i'll do chicken parm i love a good chicken parm oh yeah i like a meatball sub sometimes but like a meatball sub my issue is

it's hard to eat round and round balls in a flat sandwich is not making and i got locked so i can't open my mouth that that big so it's like yeah i kind of i kind of go for that rarely like when i'm really really craving it get this man's bob come to the chicken parm side of the tracks it's good over here man it's better than meatballs as is i like chicken parm sometimes there's too much parm too much i don't like i don't like when cheese like globs up you know what i'm saying yeah sometimes in a sandwich it's it's prone to do that when it goes into the crease grosses me out a little bit i have i'm in a town with a lot of italians they don't fuck up the ratio we got

good parm we got good ratios on everything i'll get you a chicken parm next time i see you i'll try to get it to you where it's nice and hot still uh we also call them wedges in my little there's a very small part of the country it's like here i think like a random part of pennsylvania um like westchester putnam is where i live and we call them wedges and i had a buddy from long island come up we told him we were getting chicken parm wedges and he was so excited he's like they just reinvented the chicken parm in some other form and then he saw him it's like these are heroes or subs or hoagies whatever have you always called them that or just since you moved to the area you are now i've lived my whole life

here so it's always been wedges so then when i go somewhere else for the first time they're like what the fuck is a wedge i mean it makes sense like i get it i get why you would call it that but like i've never heard that in my life yeah that's super fucked up ellie was eating a wedge and i was like oh that looks like a good ass wedge and ellie would have no clue what i'm talking about the other stuff though that like so it's called what kind of bars they're the the jerky stuff bar because i think it's like crops oh okay okay so is that in the game did you play that like yeah you get your crop bars or whatever yeah uh by the way ellie the crazy all right the craziest most reckless thing i've seen so far we have zombies

we pill again shot fighting each other stealing from each other no no no any of the all these fucks going into the water with their shoes and socks on i know take your shoes and socks off people lieutenant dan said it himself keep your feet dry looking back, that's like a throwaway line. But you realize he's like how important it is to keep your socks dry. And then he ends up losing his legs or his, I guess, below the legs. Have you ever had like really, really wet socks and shoes before? It's a nightmare. Oh, my God.

Splish, splosh, splish, splosh. I think I've told this story on the podcast once or twice before, but I have an all-time bad wet sock story. My flight back from Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi to Las Vegas, 18 hours. Guy next to me got a little too drunk, fell asleep, knocked over his drink onto my sock. I had a wet sock the entire flight. Wet sock? Wet sock Bob Fox? Wet sock Bob Fox.

And I wrote down one of my favorite parts about that scene where she wades into the water and everything in the hotel the way the skeleton pops out at her for a jump scare like raiders of the lost ark that's such a classic trope in these things but like the tropes that they hit same it's actually weirdly connected to road trip the tropes that they hit i loved there was nothing that made me roll my eyes it was like oh yes they hit that mark yeah they yeah they hit the mark that's the perfect way to say it and some of the times they do it you learn a little something along the way you know yeah these people's lives just turned upside down and you know blink of an eye and then everything went

to shit so it is kind of cool to see how that how that all goes there was a crazy visual of just piles of the infected laying out in the sun cooking um that's like where they overlook then they go to the museum this is where tess gets bit we don't know that she gets bit there's like obviously a melee but they don't reveal it till a little later on and heavy spoilers pointed this out and i was like this is fucking brilliant and i'm sure people watching this are like, no shit, Sherlock. Time stopped for Joel when his watch broke. Oh.

When his daughter died. And that's why he's so closed off now. Obviously, we know why he's closed off now. His daughter died. But putting it that eloquently with the watch and bringing that connection in, wow. Heavy spoilers. Nice one on that. And she had fixed the watch for him before that too.

She fixed it that night and then it broke as he was trying to save her as they fell off the cliff. All right, let's call our shot. Ellie's going to fix that watch when it's all said and done and his clock has restarted in life. I don't, I don't remember at all, but I would assume she is. I figured it would be Ellie dies or something or Joel dies. Well, fuck me then. I don't know. I figured it would be Ellie Dies or something, or Joel Dies. Well, fuck me then, because I don't know. I haven't played the game.

I feel like that's a total possibility, that she could find that along the way or something. The museum scene itself was fucking terrifying, and just that ultimate horror movie, hold your breath the entire time, and you think you get out safe, and somebody's got a bite, unfortunately. They find the dead bodies

test reveals she was bit and then when the zombies run in for the end of this episode i didn't expect it to go where it goes zombie goes in and smooches her french kisses her and she's trying to get the lighter to go and oh my god that was tense when she can't get it to light she's trying it over and over and over again you're like oh my god does that have a light in it she finally gets it big explosion episode ends great ending to the episode and like i said before i genuinely felt for her like when test died i was like fuck like another one joel's losing now sucks it's crazy how they made us they made me care so much about the daughter in not even a full episode and they made me care so much about the daughter in not even a full episode and they made me care so much about tess in an episode and if that right it's like yeah it's episode and a half

true ride or die chick goes down in flames i mean i guess you're only gonna imagine what you're like as a fungus a living fungus at this point i'd rather just go out in a blaze of glory and help out my pal there i I did yell. I literally yelled, oh, fuck me, when all the zombies woke up and started running there. So I'm not looking forward to all these little, you have to watch where you step. Again, as a big guy,

I know it's kind of, if you make the wrong step, you bump into something by mistake, you don't see coming. It just gives me the heebie-jeebies. I do not like it. And I can't believe we lost the chicken episode, too. So it i i would be like oh this show is is using all its uh ammo up no they'll introduce me to someone next episode i'll probably fall in love with them at this point and then they'll just take them to me before the credits are over it's fucking incredible they can do that i believe not how she dies in the video game i believe in the video game she's

killed by the police oh shit i was gonna ask if she dies and the video game. I believe in the video game. She's killed by the police. Oh shit. I was going to ask if she dies in the video game considering how quick her time was on screen. I think she dies at roughly the same point in the video game. Cause it's very, just about the two of them, you know, Joel and Ellie.

So it's going to follow them the rest of the time. Once again, great performances. That was like one of the highlights of the whole thing is every single person in this show is giving it their all their 110 percent and their hbo 9 p.m performances basically that's right there um all right before we move on to our road trip recap is there anything else you want to say about this episode of the last of us no i think the best thing i can say is i wake up on sundays and i'm like all right here we go we have last of us tonight which i didn't think would be the case after two i have to figure out though like is this going to be a daytime show

for me and i just watch it on tuesday morning get too scary i i'm gonna make an admission here i watched it in the museum i watched on mute with the closed captions on oh wow i was like i'm not because i was it was a long day of football i was like i'm not dealing with this jump scare stuff they hit me with the jump scare off the bat and i'm like if we're doing this all the time fucking resident evil those goddamn dogs jumping through the windows that fucked me up for so long i am not a scare guy i've never been a scare guy i'm watching this for you guys because everyone says they want to do some recaps in the basement i am one to ten ten being don't give a fuck i'll watch any horror movie at any time one being complete pussy i won't even you know turn anything above a pgm i'm like a heart five maybe six so that's a lot for me to

take in especially when it's scary out of my living room it's dark out the kids are asleep i have to keep it quiet so uh yeah all right fair enough before we move on to our road trip recap and review let's tell everyone about hello fresh our friends over at hello fresh once again sponsoring the pod we thank them for that thank you hello fresh for being here in the new year you've got new year's goals and they're here to help you achieve them skip the grocery store and take control of your time and budget with delicious recipes delivered straight to your door.

Hello, fresh. It was our little Valentine's day thing. And I have to tell you, it sparked a little bit of fun. It's like, Oh yeah, that's right.

We actually used to talk to each other and like, we enjoyed each other's company so much, we decided to get married.

You get to actually talk to the person, hang out. Breaking news on the pod as well. Papa Clem wrote back

i said what do you think the last of us pretty good never been a zombie guy but it was good so papa clem approved so far text them back say they're actually not zombies they're clickers say that's my canon hold it right there let's talk about road trip this was the movie that everyone seemed so shocked that I had never seen. And honestly, it not only had, I had not seen it. I hadn't even really heard of it.

I know I have heard of it because I read an article on Scotty doesn't know once that mentioned it because of Euro trip and road trip, but like this didn't even come across my radar growing up. None of the quotes from it. None of the gifts from it that i saw were recognizable and i don't know how because this movie was great it was hilarious i loved it i texted my brother i said have you seen road trip he said yeah road trip is a great movie and i'm like why didn't you fucking pass this on to me brother you passed everything else on to me but clem i loved the

whole thing and you know who my favorite character in the movie was? Who? Tom Green? Tom Green. Yes. I swear. He was like my favorite guy in the movie. I thought he was hilarious. I, what, so it starts and then they say his name is Barry. I go, holy fuck, that's right. They named him Barry Manilow.

I just started laughing just on that like one joke in itself. Mike Fox did take a little bit of shrapnel. People were like, Robbie, how did your brother – Mike Fox introduced this guy to a lot of stuff. Robbie was reading Barstool at the age of like six. So trust me, he has a lot of stuff going on. It's a generational thing. There's probably like cold class.

If I told R.A. the movies I hadn't seen at your age that came out in the 80s and 70s, he'd like disown me as a friend. So that just is what it is. It's so delightful. I don't know what just, is what it is. It's, it's so delightful that I don't know what else to say about this movie. It's a, it's an utter delight. It also reminds me of simpler times.

It's made in 99. You just feel that kind of nineties happiness who gives a fuck. There are a few spots where you're like, Ooh, that would probably, if people did it in a movie today, like the auction, like, I feel like that was like the girl auction or guy auction.

That was always a trope that was always in tv shows and stuff weird it was though they would try to cancel it now just be this whole fucking thing from both sides by the way do you think this whole m&m thing is a is a is a marketing commercial yeah it's all marketing yes a hundred percent which gives me like faith in god again because when i saw spokes candies I was like I'm ready to jump off of this And I'd rather think live in The Last of Us universe than In this universe but yeah

The Road Trip universe that's Where I really want to live and right off the bat Ivan Reitman is Bruised by him and yeah my Todd Phillips Oh fuck I forgot we had You know the king in Ivan Reitman There's a lot of shared dna with this movie and some of the todd phillips i know i hate andy dick i hate that

mother i've always hated that dude before i think he's got funny scenes in this movie he does have funny scenes in this movie but i've just always just hate him he has the hotel clerk like when he comes in and when the dad comes in and yells at him and shit like that that's a funny funny bit everyone's dealt with that clerk is just like what no yeah and just he's above you and stuff like that there's even this one bald guy who is that i think old school and i think the hangover there's just a bunch of just that guy oh i know that guy from somewhere um so this was the first time you watched in how long, by the way, it had to be a while,

right? Years and years and years. Yeah. Probably. I'm definitely before the kids were born. Like there's no, I don't only have casual movie night. It's like,

I'm watching something new for the first time. Or like, I have to watch diehard. Haven't watched that in a while. And like, this is the problem. Infinity war and end game. They take up a lot of the time.

Like I just throw just throw that on. That'll kind of block all the other movies that I love. The Guardians movies. Yeah, exactly. So this has been a long time. Our boy Eddie was very excited. I saw Trent. He was.

He said one of his favorites. Yeah. Me, Eddie, and Trent. All three of us are so excited for you to see this. Keep really growing with those three guys and giving you thumbs up. Three good vibes, guys. Exactly. That's just like. By the way, up just before uh just on the pod now 57 of rotten

tomatoes from the critics and 65 from the audience i find that disturbing you go to your tweet and it's like 98 yeah you have like a people like oh it's overrated or oh euro trips better which i never saw euro trip i just never maybe that's a homework project for both of us then yeah maybe i'll have to go back and watch i just euro trip came out during there was a bunch of like this ushered in a golden age of comedies it really did yeah there's so much shit going on that i feel like that weekend i was just and i don't know european comedies have never really done it for me like the domestic ones i don't know i don't think it's european

i think it's just a trip in europe well that's what i'm saying like when they go to europe i yeah i always i was always just like the domestic ones i don't know what it is maybe maybe i'm like a bigot or something i have a problem with european people um a couple things i wrote down some of my favorite like tropes that were in it the classic destroying your friend's dad's car. Oh, yes. Kind of the Ferris Bueller type thing. They obviously take it in a different direction here.

One of the funniest scenes in the movie. I think that was the scene where I texted you, like, they just destroyed the car. Like, oh, my God, you're correct. That's satisfaction guaranteed. You're like, they just did the bridge scene. I'm like, oh, my God, that's right. They jump. He spits it in the half.

The bridge falls. You better make it 75. Yes, when it comes to science i'm always sure like there's there's just so many little and i loved that character too kyle who didn't want to give up his dad's car the bit where he goes into the like the frat house and becomes boys with all of them and starts like he loses virginity starts becoming like a gangster basically basically. Hysterical. The way he played it, and I recognized him. Yeah. I recognized him right away from Breaking Bad.

Did you? What is he in Breaking Bad? He's very briefly in Breaking Bad as an undercover cop that snitches on one of Jesse's friends. He sits on the bench with him, and he's like like, Hey man, you got any drugs or whatever? And they have a brief convo. And then I think he pulls a gun on him on badger. I think it was. Yes. So I think,

I think this was probably, maybe that was during the early days of Twitter or when I was on Twitter. Cause there'll be like, holy shit. It's the road trip guy, you know, I'm breaking bad.

I feel like I actually said that gets, yep. There he is. Um, I thought of him from, what's the name of the new guy? He's in the movie called The New Guy. I saw maybe brief

snippets of it, but Eliza Juszczyk is in it. You know Eliza? She's in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Yes, and she does like a little where she's trying on different outfits, all sexy and he becomes like cool by moving to a new school and it's it's like old school i'm sure that gif was on barstool a thousand times back in the day she has a little lollipop she's dancing around so that's the only movie that i think of when i think of him other than this absolutely

crushes so crushes his kyle breckmeyer. Just a delight. An absolute delight. And Amy Smart is almost like the girl version of Breckenmeyer. I just love her. Love her. And so you could see why teen boys liked this movie so much. Yes. Yes. Very quickly into the movie.

Quickly. They're like boobs. We promise. So Skip Swen texted me this and he said, road trip, Amy Smart. First naked lady you saw in a movie. Who was it? Do you remember? I don't know her name, but it's the movie Open Water.

It's whoever the lead actress in Open Water is. There's a sex scene that opens the movie. And I remember being like, what the looking at my parents and then being like, sorry, we didn't know you were at all. That's nightmare. I wasn't at the movies. It was like a Hollywood video rental. We were in the living room, that's a nightmare. I wasn't at the movies. It was like a Hollywood video rental. We were in the living room. I shouldn't have been watching the movie anyway, though.

It's a fucking scary movie. It's a shark movie. And how old would you say you were? Young. Young, okay. Like five or six, maybe. Wow. I don't think they let me watch the whole movie.

I think it was one of those, like, we're watching a movie as we're putting you to bed. I came out, saw some boobs, and was like, what in the world? Rob, Rob's going to have a tough time going to bed tonight. He saw my first one was I'll never forget this. I believe the name of the movie was Ski School. And I think it's like one of those 80s movies that was like probably kind of like a comedy silly like shitty national lampoons wannabe and my my mom writes me she rented the wrong movie that was the thing and i remember this like brunette chick just takes her top off and i was by myself and i was like

holy shit i have this movie to myself for the next like 48 hours. You're like, this doesn't say ski school. This says skeet shoot. Wait a minute. It's like, there's a whole bunch of scenes that don't add up here. I mean, that's definitely a kind of a movie that would have a lot of those things. So I'm sure Amy Smart was the first for a lot of people. And you don't really see it coming. It's just like, boom, hits you right in the face.

And oh my God, the anxiety, the secondhand anxiety i got from the dream sequence where he thinks that the girl is about to put on the the vhs yeah i was like no no and then he wakes up it's like oh thank god and then the eventual payoff is great too they crushed multiple dream sequences when he's making out with the girl and you know she's like making out with the guy i came twice last night i had to take two birth control pills and all that kind of stuff and then so the dream sequences are great and when you tell tom green's taking liberties with the story the girls are in the locker room everyone's top although they're totally topless yeah which by the way i say the whole structure of the movie like with him telling the story was fantastic

yep the and there's a couple like there's the big dude who i think was in um the big guy who's like i think it's probably like an offensive lineman in one of those like varsity blues texas movies or something like that i think the redhead mom might have been governor tracy from black sheep i might be off on that there's a couple of like those people in it and i always said like the the tour guides being a tour guide being able to walk backwards they always give you the same, same spiel. I can only imagine how many people you have to tell the same story to. I'm convinced I was,

I would have been my life. Kate from Barstool was a tour guide in college. Doesn't she have that personality? She knows the joke. She's quick witted. She strikes me so we could walk backwards really well. I don't know what that means, but I stand by it.

And she told me she never was. So I was, I was absolutely shocked that guy, Jacob, great villain in this movie great oh yeah he's wearing a god is awesome shirt in the beginning which is like telling you he's a villain which is so fun like in the 90s you're like oh this guy wears guy that's awesome fuck this guy just fucking asshole yeah um and then a great great royal rumble wwe reference at the end of the movie when he's trying to study and cram for the test. He's like, yeah, it's like, who's Vince McMahon? You know, what is the battle royal in this scenario?

That whole reference to end it, I was like, this is the perfect 90s thing. This is a time capsule of that time. I've always wanted to be able to learn that way. If someone could just teach me all different subjects using wrestling using football using whatever it may be using barstool if there was ever a way you could actually do that i would absolutely love it and like you said the perfect like flashback because that's when that was dx that was prime time attitude era absolutely yes the rock everyone and it kind of mirrored a lot of the stuff in

the movie like stifler is just such a meathead like boat like a human boner basically yeah he's always like did you fuck her before the it's just like can we see the tape like come on like the way that they crowd around him in the beginning did did you make a copy of the tape because if you did we could watch and you know what's a great line that's exactly what your boys would do if they found out you made a sex like it's not there they'd be more copy of the tape? Cause if you did, we do watch it. And you know what? That's a great line. That's exactly what your boys would do. If they found out you made a sex, like it's not there. They'd be more concerned about the tape than like the potential of your, your girlfriend getting gutted after her grandpa.

Yeah. They're like, that doesn't concern us that what we'll be friends no matter what. Like we want to see it. Yeah. The girl you've known your whole life. Who's your best friend. Yeah.

Don't, don't worry about her feelings. Just, we want to see this girl, the naked girl in our college. I wanted to go back to college so back bad watching that just made me just depressed about it as i'm like it gave me the opposite honestly i was like oh my god the anxiety of cramming for a test like holy shit i don't want that ever again yep for sure i also i drove a ford taurus so the taurus one was tough when he's

like this piece of shit car my taurus was a. I think it might've been a year or two after that one, but he kept, they ripped on the car a couple of times. I was like, damn, I loved my fucking Ford Taurus. It was the best. You're like not laughing too hard at those jokes. You're like, I actually said something. I was with my buddy. I was like, yeah. And then he's like this piece of shit car. And he, my buddy just started laughing. He's like, ah, that hurt. Chloe from 24, the blind stuff was great. Also, one of the great Barstool riders of all time that people don't know of, the newer Stoolies. KFC versus the blind nose is an all-time.

When he used to say that they would ride their guiding eye dogs, they're like, we don't ride them. That's what Barstool is at. Witty peak, man, is just stuff like that. All the Release the Fury stuff with Tom Green. I believe. Yeah, the mouse. I don't know if it's the coyotes. There is a team, I believe, that does like release the fury.

Really? That's like to get the hype, the crowd hyped up. Watching Horatio S um fuck with the food at the diner that always will skeeve me out with the toast no sugar yeah he licks it throws it in his underwear by the way the fact he is able to throw the toast over his head and catch it in the like back of his pants one of the most incredible things very impressive he had to have special like stunt stretch pants or something exactly did you ever see anyone fuck with the food at uh what was that across the border on the border on the border i don't think so no my wife worked at applebee's for years and

she said no one ever fucked with the food yeah no i can't recall anyone fucking with the food we would love it when the food came out and it wasn't what they ordered though because then it just the waiters they're like they send it back and the waiters all split it basically it's your food right yeah i always like as i got older i'd hear the rumors and then obviously after i saw this movie i would be so scared to send anything back and i was kind of a picky eater i wanted a particular way and i for the rest of my life nope not doing that i don't want to eat Horatio Sanz pubic hairs. I've never sent anything back. I don't think I could, unless it was like exclusively a fruit dish and I'm allergic to fruit. So I would have to, like, I would go to the ends of the earth, not to send a meal back.

Unless it would kill you. You're not going to send it back. Basically. Yeah. Yeah. One other thing here that I just made it of milking the prostate i always was wondering if that's an actual thing that can be done i you know what if i go on the internet now i've heard of that before what i think i've heard of that that's a thing yeah there's there's so many lines from this movie but two fingers better make it three i use that one a lot because i had sex last night with a girl. There's just so many just perfect things. Hey, the grandpa with the honey, your boner, the talking dog talking about the blueberry pancakes, just an all in all.

It's a delightful movie, Bob. The way they stand out of the way of the grandpa's boner as he comes out into the hallway. They're like trying not to touch it. But you want me to cut it holy shit that was cut it off woman and the pure chaos that erupts when that snake bites his hand it goes right through the guy's neck and you're flying it around it looks so like rubber and crazy it's it's a delightful movie like you said take that scene and basically extend it for like an hour and a half and that is uh tom green's movie f. Freddy got fingered. It is wacko. I mean, watch it. I won't put this on the Bobby Blockbuster list, but if you ever want to see some more

Tom Green, it is some crazy ass shit that goes on there, man. And you did send me a Tom Green show compilation that I watched. Very funny. Yep. The first, it starts with the slut mobile, which I forgot all about. That was, I think the first sketch I ever saw on Tom Green. So it was perfect. And at that, it had undercutters as I had talked to. That was, I think, the first sketch I ever saw on Tom Green, so it was perfect.

It had that. It had undercutters, as I had talked to you about, where he goes around with the pizza. There was one. I went down a little bit of a rabbit hole on my own. There's one where he paints his entire house to a different color. His dad basically goes like, all right, we're just going to give away your car. He's not even fucking around with it. He paints it all the way back. There's just a lot

of good shit i forgot he um he was married to drew barrymore for a year and shout out our boy glenny balls who has kissed drew barrymore twice yeah so uh all in all very good stuff do you want to make boogie nights the next movie at some point will that be next on the list i do think i think i like i love boogie nights and boogie nights i like more than road trip because it's like a more of a movie it's not just a comedy but there's some wacky shit in there but it's there's so much i gotta see it you know what i gotta rip the band-aid off you've been telling me for months let's make boogie nights the next one and you guys want to submit your you know recommendations put them in the comments where you think what you think bob should watch next movie that'd be a great thing to comment this

week yeah all right before we get out of here it's royal rumble weekend if you're listening to this on release day the royal rumble is this saturday keep that in mind old school Saturday I know you're used to sunday pay-per-views wwe switching it up recently. It is this Saturday, but I just wanted to recap some of your favorite Royal rumble memories. So I have a bunch and I, I did do a little bit of research and just kind of like bring the, the memories back. First thing was, and this is going back to the video store,

the boxes, just having all the superstars on the box and you're, and I look at, I'm using some WWE lingo right here. I'm calling them superstars. Superstars. Yeah. And they just had them all like, oh, this, this is it.

The takers in this one and Hogan, you know, Jake the snake. And you're just like getting all hired up. And then the, I believe it is specific to the Royal rumble. Yes, that is the old royal rumble theme so i love those two things the box and then the song always that was young clem as soon as he threw it in and then again these things i i had a i watched wwe like hogan probably wrestlemania three or so till about the time he left and then i picked up right around the wrestlemania with tyson and then i was there for i don't know probably like 2003 or so so i have some blind

spots rick flair winning and the most mind-blowing thing like it was it's like seeing damaggio hit 56 in a row right it was yeah mind-blowing someone could persevere and i forgot that that was one of the rare years they had it for the title it wasn wasn't just for the number one contender, right? Yep, 92. Yep. And I do like how they've changed it now where the WrestleMania banner sits and it's kind of in the background. But this gave the Rumble a little more oomph to it.

Oh, definitely. For the title. One that is not nearly as prestigious, but just an all-time moment. I believe it's Bushwacker Luke going in, doing Bushwacker. In and out. Thrown out, I believe, by Earthquake just throwing out i believe by earthquake is that right i think i think you're right about that yeah tosses his ass another great entrance i'm a mcfoley guy all three mcfoley's personas mankind cactus jack dude love coming in at different points whenever you had the two big faces in the company squaring off and I was a

Hogan guy, him and warrior. It was like, Oh my God. Like it felt like you would like pay extra to see that out of pay-per-view. It's like, Oh, if you want to see warrior and Hogan square off, you have to pay an extra like 29 99, which back in the day, old man Clem. I remember my dad calling up the cable provider and you get like a little bit and then it would just show up on belief. Channel 23 was our pay-per-view back then mama clem very anti uh scrambler black boxes she was like that's stealing it's not right justin you can't be doing that and it was mama clem voice

on yeah she sounds different than mrs fox we do have two different voices didn't you see that that was one of the three moments one of the three most memorable moments that i wrote down is the hogan and warrior face off that obviously leads to the wrestlemania six match when they clear that ring and it's just the two of them and that crowd realizes that it's just the two of them and everyone rises and everyone feels the energy and the electricity in the air and then the face off happens and you see all the flashes from the disposable cameras in the crowd, that could give me chills talking about it. I'll want to go watch it right after we record this podcast.

I'm going to watch it too. That just gave me chills. And two, I feel like wrestling and baseball are the two ones where you could see the cameras flashing during big moments, right? Well, you used to be able to. Yeah, exactly. The fact that it's gone is almost like a shame the big wrestlemania moments you know uh edge spearing jeff hardy off the uh titles on tlc

that's made amazing by the camera flashes the hogan and rock face off i'm made amazing by camera flashes so yeah what else did you have for uh some of your favorite rumble memories do you want to i have i have more do you want to add some or you want me to i have some yeah ray mysterio winning the rumble in 2006 ray mysterio was my guy from the first moment i saw him uh wrestlemania 19 he came out dressed as daredevil and i was very into the ben affleck daredevil movie at the time so i was like who's this guy dressed as daredevil he's my new favorite wrestler i said it in that moment years later he wins the royal rumble going in at number two longest entry ever at the time he was in the match for 62 minutes i believe and i remember just being so happy my brother telling me i don't think there's any chance he wins and when he won being like in your face i told you john cena two years

later returned from injury at number 30 early. Like people didn't think he was going to be able to return from injury nearly this early. It was at MSG, one of the biggest pops in WWE history. So that was another one that I wrote down. And then just a general memory about the Royal rumble, Royal rumble pools.

There was nothing more fun than putting numbers in a hat one through 30, having your friends or family pick the numbers or coworkers, employees at Barstool. We've done it before and just not knowing who you're going to get, but knowing at the end of this, someone's going to go away with the pot of money or whatever it is, the pot of ring pops, whatever you might be putting on the line.

That is one of the highlights of the Royal rumble because it could actually get non-wrestling fans invested in the match, you know? Yeah. And it's like, even if you had a guy who could be like a joke winner, like you're like, there is a chance because how many of the guys who knows who makes it to Mania? And actually, I feel like that has been passed around. It's like you win the Rumble. There's still a chance you're going to fuck up and lose your. Does that happens?

Yeah, it's happened to you. Did Ray Mysterio make it to WrestleMania for the title? It's so funny you say that he put his royal rumble like his title shot that he got from winning the royal rumble he put it on the line in a match against randy orton and lost and then the general manager came out and was like well you can't fucking put your title match on the line so we're gonna have to make this a triple threat and it wound up being a triple threat at wrestlemania ray mysterio did go on to win it. It was the year Eddie Guerrero died.

So it was very much a win for Eddie. He was wearing the EG armband and everything. Eddie Guerrero's family came out, celebrated with him at the end. Everyone is crying. Amazing, amazing match. Oh, shit. So that was a heck of a time for Bob Fox. And if you saw, oh my God, I i remember i remember him winning at mania i

just started running up and down my stairs like like i was a hamster on a wheel up and down up and down up and down up and down and my dad and my brother were like holy fuck kid chill out you're gonna have a heart attack i couldn't believe seven it's probably 2006 ish so yeah it's probably i was probably seven or eight. Yeah. So that's when it just means a ton. I remember I had a buddy. I talked about him in the past, Joe Lightning.

He got that name because he was always in last place in my air cart, always get lightning. So I always refer to him as Joe Lightning. Such a good nickname, yeah. It's such a dig, but he appreciates it. He made me leave the room during SummerSlam when Earthquake kept jumping on Hogan. Like, that's enough. He's had enough. And Earthquake kept doing the Earthquake kept jumping on Hogan. Like, that's enough. He's had enough. And Earthquake kept doing the Earthquake splash on him.

And he's like, he's going to die. And he was so freaked out by it. And as a Hogan guy, I was like, fuck, is he really going to get seriously hurt? When wrestling is a little too real, that's when it's its absolute best. So that's an awesome man. I was out of wrestling by the time that Rey Mysterio thing happened. But I'm happy my guy bob fox got to see that all went down um a couple other ones i have uh kind of going off the

hogan warrior thing whenever you had just those moments so demolition when it's like uh-oh only two guys on the same team are here it's like they have to fight each other i love that and i liked when they fought each other i didn't like when they would wait for the next person it's like and sometimes the bad blood would carry over into a feud. Sometimes it wouldn't. And then something similar that happened. I forgot about this. I remember this during the research.

Too Cool, they were in the ring with Rikishi. And then they just broke out into dance form and Rikishi threw them out. Too Cool was such a good performance. They were great. I really loved those guys. And like from the jump like grandmaster grandmaster flash grandmaster flash and and sec what was the sex say what was it uh scotty too hotty scotty too hotty and grandmaster sex say right is that what his name

was yeah yeah yeah yeah so i think you're right about that as soon as i heard every lawless kid yeah it was such a preposterous fucking thing, but it just worked. It just, it was, it was a good times. And then when her key, she came in and all came together,

the stupid dance, the idiotic boy bands kind of song. So I love that. Um, Austin versus McMahon forgot. That was a thing. You're just like, Oh,

Vince has nowhere to run. We have stone. How about, uh, how about Pete Rose get eliminated by basically hopping over the top rope himself because Kane came into the ring? Yep. Kane. I forgot Kane just ran through people like a knife going through a hot knife going through butter.

And then the two other ones that were just like crazy moments was Luger and Hart going over at the same time. And I was like, holy shit. We never got that scenario down on the rule book. And then Shawn Michaels changing the feet. Yeah, going up and around. I mean, later on, they would have John Cena and Batista go over at the same time, and it was not planned. It was a total fucking mistake. It was the last two.

They go over, and it's a total what are we going to do moment. So they actually legitimately hit at the exact same time. So the WWE got lucky there. They could show replays over and over again and be like, who won? Who won? There's SmackDown referees out there and there's Raw referees out there. They start saying, my guy won. No, my guy won.

And they're playing it off so well, you think maybe this is how the match was supposed to end. Vince McMahon comes strutting out because he's like,'m gonna go give them the direction i'm gonna whisper it to him so he comes strutting out like he's about to say what the match is slides into the ring tears both of his fucking quads sliding into the ring both not one two quads so he goes to stand up in the ring he can't stand up he sits back down he just has this angry look on his face and he's going restart the match right now restart the match damn it you gotta restart this thing right now and he's literally sitting on his ass like he had to be helped to the back he was like don't bring a stretcher out like i want to walk back myself because he's got

that vince mcmahon ego it is one of the funniest clips of all time knowing that context everyone go back i believe it's the royal rumble 05 um if you just look up vince tears his quads you'll be crying laughing watching him slide into the ring and tear both quads and not be able to stand up well now i have to like fuck the warrior hogan that now is trumped and i have to watch that one first because i had no idea like what a vince thing i'm sure his body was you know nothing but natural stuff was in his body because no quads going into a fucking ring what a maniac what an absolute psychopath and the fact he probably didn't want any help it's like the sneezing is a sign of weakness kind of a thing what an absolute lunatic but shout out to this i've never done a rumble pool and i didn't hear about them until after i

was out of wrestling like all together but which is another is my final memory is i think it was like you guys were in the super bowl house or something like that and you guys watched like half a rumble thinking it was a car i wasn't there i was the one to set everyone straight jared or big cat called me and he was like hey man i think we're watching the wrong royal rumble and i was like you can't be watching the wrong Royal Rumble. Like the Jared told me he ordered it on television pay-per-view. He's like, we did. I was like, there's no way you ordered the wrong Royal Rumble.

There's not offering more than one. He's like, is Heath Slater coming out right now? And I was like, no. And then I was like, wait a minute. He was the first entry in last year's Rumble. And we found out that they somehow ordered last year's rumble on traditional review a year in advance. Thankfully we got everything sorted by the end,

but yeah, that was very funny. That's that's, that's so fucking great. That was just so typical. Fucking barstool is what it is. I remember KFC once live tweeted, like half a Mets game.

And then people like, dude, that was from yesterday. Oh my God. like half a Mets game. And then people like, dude, that was from yesterday. Oh my God. It was a few years ago. It was so funny. It was, it was so great. Oh, and the last thing that I wrote down,

I always just loved the big guys where there'd be one big guy and like seven smaller people. And if it was Kane earthquake, whoever it may be, and they all are just trying to get them out as a big guy, I always rooted for the big guys to take them down but you would just feel like motherfucker if you wanted one of your guys to win he was a smaller guy like we can't win this unless we get kane out of the ring he's just too goddamn big and it's like a bunch of like my kids trying to like get me off the couch it's like

you guys have no chance so shout out the royal rumble i think i was trying to think so mania is mania that's the king of it all it comes down to rumble versus survivor summer slam is like the baby mania i don't know what it is now i think rumble is number two for me because survivor series the four versus four which i imagine they've been in that format years right survivor series has dropped a ton in in the uh rankings i don't even like you can consider it a big four pay-per-view still, but like Money in the Bank is even sometimes considered a bigger pay-per-view than Survivor Series at this point.

It's very much WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam. Okay, and do they do the four on fours? Depends on the year, really. Some years they will, some years they won't. Some years they'll do a five on five, something like that. They'll change it up year to year. But this year they did a war games match which was fun it was the double rings that wcw used to do inside the cage so that that was a cool twist on it the thing you can

learn about the royal rumble is if there's a countdown and like a mystery people are going to be down you have 30 mysteries you get the fucking music. You get some nostalgic throwbacks. We almost, that should be like a future fucking video for us where we just talk about nostalgia shit. And then it's like five, four. It's like, boom. They're talking about Dunkaroos. Oh, my God. Game boy.

Yeah. That'd be fun. That shit always. The nostalgia Royal Rumble. The nostalgia Royal Rumble. It Nostalgia Royal Rumble. Good show idea. All right. Thank you for tuning in to My Mom's Basement this week.
