Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3C. I am your host, Robbie Fox, and today we've got a very special edition of the podcast for you. Clem and I are going to be recapping The Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere and The Last of Us Episode 7. All in one episode. If you're not familiar with how we're doing this now with the two Pedro Pascal shows going on at once, after The Last of Us on Sunday nights, we will upload our Last of Us recap to YouTube. And then right after The Mandalorian on Wednesdays, we're going to record a Mandalorian recap and then pair both recaps on the podcast feed.

So there'll be separate videos on YouTube together on the podcast. Before we get into it, I want to tell everyone about 3G of all the things in life. One of the best has to be getting high wherever you want, whenever you want, without the paranoia of consuming some sketchy black market stuff. You hear so much horrible stories about the black market stuff nowadays. You don't want to risk it. Go to 3G. 3G has the highest quality cannabis products from their delicious Delta nine edibles and their industry leading Delta eight products to their new line of Delta nine O vapes and everything in between. I love 3G. I love using this stuff before the last of us or before the Mandalorian, you know, take you off to that galaxy far, far away, whether it be through the vapes, whether it be through the edibles, the gummies, the cereal treats, the brownies, the cookies, the root beer taffies, which are just so good.

The root beer taffies are dangerous because I can't get enough of those. I just love them. I want to eat a whole bag of them. But you got to use them responsibly. You must be 21 or older. All of these products are formulated by a biochemist made in the USA with USA grown hemp.

Hello and welcome back to My Mom's Basement in a very special Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere Edition of My Mom's Basement. It is Robbie Fox, my co-host Clem. And that's not it, Clem.

We've got one other guest. It's Grogo. He's back in our lives. lives come on he's back in our lives clem life is good right now the mandalorian's back we've got pedro pascal leading two children through the apocalypse as we've mentioned the last of us the mandalorian we've got disney next week it's a great time to be us. It's a great time to be nerds. Pedro Pascal month is getting churning now. We're in part two and some would say the biggest part. We're getting the premiere of Mandalorian and the kids were up in the constant incline. They've been waking up at five 30 the last few days,

which is awesome. Just an absolute blast. AJ said that I want to change my pajamas. And just by pure coincidence, he threw on his favorite PJs, which are his little silk feeling baby yoda pajamas i say you know we're gonna watch some mando they didn't even know it was coming out today they got their baby yoda our baby yoda doesn't have the peach fuzz on top which if you're watching on youtube you can see uh bob has like uh your guy has his little yoda hairs on there you know what I mean? That's where you pay $430.

I think I got mine at Costco for $35. It was on sale. So pretty funny how that works out. By the way, if you're on YouTube, subscribe, hit the thumbs up button. We're going to get that one early in it. We're going to have Mando only on YouTube. Or if you're listening on podcast, we're throwing Mando and the last of us together. Pedro Pascal packages coming for the rest of March it sounds like

so yeah man who got it better than us right now we're back in Mando world and before we get into the episode this kind of like just threw me on a random question if you're Pedro Pascal I guess it depends on the character you are okay would you rather be Joel leading

Ellie through The Last of Us universe or Mando leading Baby Ellie through the last of us universe or Mando leading baby yo through the star Wars galaxy? Like in terms of if you're legitimately those characters. Yeah. Like what do you think is an easier way to go about it? I think star Wars, I think star Wars is a better life in general. You're going planet to planet. I mean, in this episode, we'll get into it. He basically got offered a retirement plan and he was like, nah, you know what? I got some more work to do, you know?

So I think getting to do the hyperspace, getting to do the N1 starfighter, dogfights and all that, I think Mando's a better life. Even if it is possibly more dangerous, I don't know. I would assume they're around the same danger levels. That was my next question. So what do you think is the danger levels in general? I think you're probably about right where there's obviously a lot more living creatures in the Star Wars universe that can just kill you, even though the post-apocalyptic world has a couple of big dads just lurking around every corner.

Well, actually, in the HBO version of The Last of Us, I've seen like seven infected the entire time. Spoiler alert. Other than one episode so uh yeah I think you're right Star Wars may be the answer in terms of big baddies but we'll uh we're ready to rock baby we're back bum bum bum bum I was thinking the same thing I was like I need to hear that theme I re-watched the entire series leading up to the season three premiere I was like I bet I got time to do the whole series the two book of boba fett episodes i didn't have time to do the book of boba fett episodes but i watched season one season two right into the premiere three in the morning and i gotta admit i haven't admitted this yet i had the screeners for episodes one and two in my email at midnight eastern

standard time but i've stated this before i appreciate disney for you know giving us that giving us the access to that i'm a man of the people i wait for the people to watch i watch with the people i waited till three in the morning to watch episode one i'll be waiting until next week to watch episode two ken jack not as strong as me he watched episode one and two he told me that episode two was 10 times better than episode one and i was shocked by that because i fucking loved episode one clem it was just a solid ass episode of this tv show it wasn't a mind-blowing cameo this guy reference easter egg it was more andor like in that it just reminded you if you give us good star wars start to finish a fastball down the middle, it always works.

You give us a little Grogu, give us a little Mendo, you give us the comedy aspect, you give us the dogfights in space. We got even a creature battle in the beginning. This was, in my opinion, like the perfect premiere episode. Yeah, 36 minutes long, which I was like, damn, how are we going to fit all that in? How are we going to all that in you know How are we gonna fit a full episode I thought It was gonna be very much like This is just a recap where everyone is And maybe we end it with like a

Cliffhanger or maybe a little Action sequence nope we got a bunch Of shit and the other thing is Two things here one John Favreau yesterday just like Came out and announced that the timeline for this Show is completely different than I think 99% of the viewers. He said this has been taking place over years and years, all this stuff from Mando season one to where we are today.

Grogu was with Luke for two years. Did I read that right? Yeah, he said about two years, which I was surprised by. I think all of us were. Now, I thought about it. I put some thought into it. I got to admit, I don't think it's like the least plausible thing when i think about i'm like all right and i do the headcanon thing for star wars the same thing i do for luke on dagobah and how long it took them to

get to bespin without the hyperdrive you gotta think in my opinion all time and planets work differently in star wars almost like interstellar where you could go to one planet miss 40 years go to another planet it's two hours or whatever like that i don't think it's that extreme in star wars it's never been established in star wars that this is how it works but in my head that's how it works i'm like maybe it was six months for mando maybe it was two years for grogo that's it was two years for Grogu. That's fine. It's like it does. I think how long the first two Mando seasons were, it would then explain like why they do have this like tight relationship. He didn't just save his life and kind of take him out of mothballs and save him from assassination. But years and years of like kinship and whatever.

So that was the one thing. And then the other thing was uh the fact that you have to watch the book of boba fett to know like if you turn this on and you're just like i'm gonna just skip a book of boba fett i heard the reviews weren't that good i heard it's just basically a giant flashback to tank season uh you don't know what the fuck's going on you don't know that baby yo is back and fucking mando has the dark saber it's just like what the fuck i thought that was a little crazy but they did kind of did they cover it kind of with the um previously on see they didn't and i thought that was surprising they there was no mention or no

showing of anything that happened in book of boba fett on the previously on i almost thought they would say like previously in the star Wars universe, something like that. And then you show us the Book of Boba Fett stuff. Now, when it comes to, and I've seen the complaint a lot, what if people didn't watch Book of Boba Fett? I think that's a non-complaint. I think anyone watching The Mandalorian heard about The Mandalorian episodes

in the Book of Boba Fett and at least watched those. I truly do. And if they didn't you have disney plus if you're watching the mandalorian go back and watch them they're right there they're available for you to watch i was surprised they didn't do it on the previously on but at the same time i i don't think it's an issue at all previously on the book of boba fett you could have just thrown like the little title card in there and then they give you the two minute fucking fast recap of let's be honest the best parts of the book of boba fett for anyone that hasn't watched uh look it up

just watch those parts of the book of boba fett you really don't have in fact your like memory of boba fett will be a lot better if you just watch the mandalorian parts of the book it's just two episodes i think and maybe like mando and grogu reunite in the finale but he's not even in the full finale it's just i think the you know him learn how to use the dark saber slicing himself up and then you get the rogu luke ahsoka episode which is fucking incredible like some of the best star wars you could even when i'm writing a blog i will give like hey guys in case you don't know like the inner workings of this random barstool drama. Here's a recap.

You guys think you kind of figure that out, how these guys who they left apart are now back together. And he's going to have the Darksaber, which is going to weigh heavily on like that entire going back to Mandalore scenario. I thought it was weird. I figured it was on the previously on and I just didn't see it. But my guy, Bob, he has Disney Plus on fucking lockdown. And he told me so all in all, kind of weird, but I'm happy we're back. Happy we're recapping. Have our takes lined up and ready to rock.

So let's get into the episode. This was directed by Rick Famuita. I hope I said his last name right because he deserves the respect of that. He directed Chapter 2 with the Mudhorn in Season 1. Chapter 6 with Bill Burr and the gang, the first Bill Burr episode. Chapter 15, the next Bill Burr episode, where Mando takes his helmet off for Grogu. Bill Burr shoots the guy that killed Batman's parents. Incredible episode.

And then he did the premiere of Season 3, and he's doing the final two episodes of this season as well. So I feel like that shows they put a lot of faith in him and for good reason all of his episodes are home runs those are the things that i those fun facts i never know beforehand the director the writers all that stuff and that's what bob fox is the best in the fucking game of cover in this stuff so it begins with the armor she's forging some new armor in the goblet of fire i wrote she pours in a little thing that looks like the Harry Potter Goblet of Fire thing. That was cool as shit. That was a very cool Goblet of Fire. What she started forging looked like a giant-ass pizza cutter.

If you look back, like at the very beginning, it almost looked like the staff from Indiana Jones she was going to make or something. But it looked like a pizza cutter. It wound up being a helmet, a new helmet. She airbrushes it and everything. It's for a kid. I was thinking in my head head is this a flashback are we seeing like mando coming into the tribe is this modern day we learned very quickly that it is modern day when this crocodile lizard dinosaur

turtle thing comes out of the water and they all attack it they have a lot of trouble with it until our guy mando comes in on his n1 starfighter and he takes down pretty quick one big blow to it we see like guts and blood flying everywhere and our guy mando is back i appreciated first of all that they showed the blood and guts because so many times you see these creatures die and they kind of just keel over and there's a hole in their body that you don't see my kids again. This is the first scene. I'm like, Oh boy,

this might've been a problem. AJ goes, why is there sausage flying all over the screen? I'm like, it kind of is like, I guess it's like lizard sausage. It's space lizard sausage. It's fucking charred up as motherfucker.

Our guy, Mando kind of just let you know, this star, this Naboo star fighter, this shit don't fuck around. This shit can blow stuff up. And then little baby, yo,

just pop it out at the end. He has his littleister which i absolutely love and i'm so happy you said that about the baptism because i feel like they did this on purpose they made the kid kind of look like a young pedro pascal might have looked so my god this is and even the helmet is like the same kind of vibes of the colors so that was clearly done on purpose it has to be i'm gonna ask i'm not gonna say his name because i don't want to butcher it now but i'll ask the writer if he ever if i call him rick call him rick we're on a first name basis with ricky buddy come on this was done on like that is some genius shit that's why we we're big fans of rick we're we're we're the number one rick fan podcast in the star wars universe right we're like homer simpson with the season flag or just rick rick yeah exactly uh and you know

my favorite part of that monster fight was those motherfuckers are shooting lasers at it the dude who just takes the flamethrower and just hopefully this is gonna get the guy i love that these idiot guys i got him i'm heating them up and you know what the fucked up thing is i guarantee when the mandalorians have their birthday parties, because in my head they do birthday parties and they have the birthday cake. They're always like patting their pockets, looking for a lighter. And they always forget that they have one that they use all the time in fights.

And it never fucking works the way they think it's going to work. And going to, you know, take down the enemy. They always are just like, shit, we don't have a lighter. It's like,

dude, you have them writing your fucking arm. So yeah. Then it was like, oh shit, that's right. These guys can fly so i'm thinking you know by flying we're gonna take down this it's almost like a dinosaur an alligator i don't know what to call it i'm sure wikipedia has like a full-blown like seven paragraph background as of this morning about this fucking creature but uh yeah it was that that was a cool scene and i'm like oh shit welcome back to the fucking show. We're back in the Mandalorian world now.

Big time. And I'm going to bring up maybe the nerdiest thing I could possibly bring up inner star Wars thing here. If you're watching on YouTube, I'm showing the picture of the actual helmet that was put on the kid. If you look at the lens of that helmet, where the child would be able to look out of, it's actually a bit wider than it

normally is on a Mandalorian. And that struck something in my brain right away. It struck something because I said, that looks familiar. Clem, this is what kids toys look like when they make Mandalorian toys, because they want kids to actually be able to look out of the helmet. Obviously it's hard to look out of. So I'm thinking, is this an actual effort to make the Mandalorian helmets look more like the toys? So the kids are more likely to buy the toys and then you have the helmet that looks like it's from the show. Or is it just a coincidence? Maybe there's an in-universe thing. When you're a kid, you get a wider lens and then it gets, you know, skinnier as you get.

I don't know. But, you know, with with me something just went off in my brain this is a good question um what company owns the star wars brand i believe it's um walt disney small company like that yeah do they do they try to make money on every fucking thing that they possibly can and try to squeeze every penny out of you hmm yeah they do the mouse that is a hundred percent mickey mouse came in and he said listen guys i don't give a fuck about any of the stuff that happens with baby yoda or the mandalorian all i want is toys that kids will buy

and we can sell it for 59.99 in the gift shop i can't believe i'm still talking like mickey mouse on the podcast right now i apologize to everyone listening and watching on youtube please hit the subscribe button and hit the thumbs up. But I swear to God, if you guys get us enough, I will never use this voice again if you get us high enough in the YouTube algorithm. But tell me, Bob, you fucking nailed it. That is exactly, exactly

what they're doing. Because listen, kids are fucking so... I remember when I was a kid and now I see it in my kids. If there's something in a toy and they're like, well, Mario doesn't wear his hat like that. His hat doesn't look like that in the game. They won't buy it. They don't want to fuck with it.

And if you have these thin eyelids and they're just bumping into walls because they can't see shit, no one's going to want to be Mando or Boba Fett. So that is actually a good call by your boy, Bob Fox, the best in the goddamn game to do it. Speaking of Boba, I thought he was in that little baptism scene as well. I was like, is that a young Boba here? And I was completely thrown off. So fucking Rick is so good at writing. He's the best writer in the world. Give this guy a Star Wars trilogy.

Got to tell you, I'm ready to give you a Mickey Mouse trilogy after hearing how good that impression was. That was shockingly good. I've never heard you pull that one out of the bag. Want to hear something? I've never done a Mickey Mouse impression in my entire life. It was really good. That was the first one. I mean, I'm going to Disney twice in a month, basically, starting today.

And I've never pulled out the Mickey Mouse. So good to know when the kids get home, I'm going to throw some Mickey at them. Clint, eat your vegetables or else you're not going to come visit me. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I can't wait for disney we just got our uh magic bands i got my grogu band oh my god it's gonna be so great we're also gonna that's gonna be episode two of mandalorian will uh premiere that morning so we're gonna you know jeff d lowe is already setting up a watch party with us in portnoy and we have we texted about it last night me and jeff we were like how we're gonna do this and i was like we gotta wake up early like we gotta tell dave whether it's 5 a.m

whether it's 6 a.m we're waking up we're sitting on the couch together on our matching t-shirts and we're watching the mandalorian together i dave's wake-up habits are very interesting to me because there's like entrepreneurial you know newspaper elbow people in the subway station to move Barstool sports newspapers, Dave, but then there's also rich lives in Florida, mogul Dave. And I don't think those two guys wake up at the same time,

but he's also going to be excited. And for star Wars land, as well as the Mandalorian. So we have a full watch party and we got to get some takes from Dave. We'll throw them on the podcast. We'll put it into. That's how we get our, we throw baby yoda in there for this guy you don't you don't think he'd wake up for this guy baby yo come on those big black eyes he'll do anything for them nobody loves grogu more than well i was gonna say dave but maybe the mandalorian loves him more

because god the mandalorian loves that little guy and i love their relationship and when they say like you got to go back to mando mandalore and baby yo he's just cute so cute people just can't say no that little guy he's just like he cooing i saw cooing in the closed captions like oh you're throwing that little word out there and you know what i realized recently someone hit me up on twitter dm i forget their name but they said huge fan of the podcast just getting into star wars though and i want to go back and re-watch some of your mandalorian recaps can i re-watch them anywhere this is the first mandalorian recap we've ever done on youtube how about that it's been so long since the last season that our youtube channel launched since then holy shit 34 000 subscribers

later here we are it's that time isn't real. That's, that's what I'm slowly. So like, there you go differently. It's the head cannon. Yes, it definitely works.

John Fabro can say whatever he wants and I'm going to have to believe it out because time is no longer real. Now we get some reestablishing stuff with the armor and Mando. It's all the same stuff they talked about in book of Boba Fett, essentially about how he took the helmet off. He's no longer part of the creed she doesn't even really thank him for saving the fucking day after that whole attack and he says i actually have a piece of mandalore that was taken by a traveler it has an inscription on it and maybe it's proof that it's not a poisoned planet maybe it's proof that we could go there the piece kind of looks like kryptonite did you

notice that it's got that green Amber glow Cool scene, but all stuff, if you watch the Boogaloo Effect You kind of know, and the armorer This has nothing to do with her gender She's a bitch It's hard to say that name With the ERs at the end She's so stuck up in her ways

Again, not thanking the Mandalorian And just kind of having that cold shoulder to him still come on she's kind of tunky oh i'm sorry i have a coffee right now yeah yeah you got to check that out you got to go to the doctor i got my water i'll drink my they go into hyperspace and grogu sees some hyperspace whales which we see in the star wars cartoon stars rebels which might sound crazy to some people that have only watched the live action stuff hyperspace whales but they actually are a decent part of uh rebels and i think this is almost a tease to that feloni side that we're

going to see more in ahsoka you know that weird kind of rebels maybe world between worlds time travel stuff when i saw those shadows and baby Yo looking at him like alright this is something And I'm thinking is this another ship Is this some sort of a wavelength They're traveling in about hyperspace And then when I went online I went to my guy heavy spoilers recap

And he was talking about Hyperspace whales I did the Darth Vader Double take like what This is and like i in the cartoon they're just like literal fucking flying whales and i guess they can travel via hyperspace and they look listen i know you i know there's like diehard cartoon fans and maybe if you watch the episode it's not the case they look kind of goofy and doing that in real life is going to be tough they pulled off i think this is a boba fett spoiler they pulled off cabane right yeah they pulled off cabane very well

in real life uh i'll be interested to see how they pull off uh hyperspace whales maybe they don't even know maybe that's just their tease maybe they're just like they're in the shadows because they look fine in the shadows you know it wasn't like goofy there's just just a nod just a nod exactly maybe it was just that. Yeah, I can see that. By the way, we all love the scene when Dory speaks well in Finding Nemo, right? I think that's the funniest. By the way, I have sources in the industry, in the film industry that live in Hollywood that have confirmed to me. James Cameron totally ripped off the whales in Avatar 2 from Star Wars Re absolute rip off no originality in that guy so we're gonna have to make a video

scandal we'll do the youtube thumbnail and everything james cameron ripped off whales from star wars hyperspace so they pull into navarro navarro looks amazing compare it to season one even season two it looks tremendous they got an IG-11 statue in the town square. The High Magistrate. He makes sure to correct everyone that calls him just the Magistrate. He goes, I'm the High Magistrate. Greef Karka comes out to greet his old friend, Mando. Mando.

Mando. That voice was booming, Bob. Oh, it was booming. Carl Weathers is back to direct a couple episodes this season as well, which I'm excited about because this episode was really good as well. Cargo wants to set Mando up to retire, as I mentioned earlier. And Mando's like, come on, dude. I've got a kid now.

I've got a mission. I got to do the whole helmet thing, Mandalore. And I love the line where he's like, his name's Grogu. And Greef Carp is like, yeah, all right, whatever. If you say so. I feel like that's like half the fan base. That is this half of the podcast right here. I am going to take that video and I'm going to tweet it and say, this is me every time I talk to Star Wars nerds and call him Baby Yo.

Because that motherfucker is two names, either Baby Yo or Baby Yoda. Whatever you want to call them. You know why? Because that's what I call them, and that's what my kids call them. The next generation, they are the ones who are going to make Baby Yo's legacy, and Grogu is the furthest thing from their fucking lexicon. I got to tell you, I'm going to try to bring back Goo this season. Little G-Man? Little Goo, yeah.

I like little Goo. We had the shirts made by our boy trigg where he kind of made it look like a jersey shore like paint remember and we're like do we sell these and this will be the craziest shirt to get cease and desist it over and sued by uh by mickey mouse you take those fucking jerks down now motherfuckers i don't care how many pizzas dave portnoy eats and how much he loves harley's like guys i'm gonna keep doing it till we hit 35 000 so we better i like vulgar mickey you might have to keep doing it i like i'm gonna bust your fucking kneecaps mickey yeah that's like the mickey from south park and like that might obviously be the end of our show is when disney

finds out we're doing vulgar mickey impersonations that will be the thing that they find out like yeah we're gonna just like find a way to sue you guys and get you copyrighted off of youtube no i was gonna say we're gonna go to disney next week and in our tour guide they're gonna be like come down this hallway and they're gonna like us and nobody's ever gonna hear from us again the youtube channel will just be gone and everyone will be like what happened to those guys oh yeah this is the best part of the vip tour you guys are going on right now like sit back relax we're gonna show you kevin feige's whiteboard that's how they're gonna get us in the room oh wow we're showing our passes like wayne and garth and wayne's world like yeah we're allowed in here here we go oh they open the door and it's the fucking room from goodfellas when joe pesci gets whacked that's gonna be how it all ends just because

of a couple of bad mickey mouse impersonations so uh a droid alerts grief karga of some pirates in the courtyard he says it's gory and shards gang great star wars name that gory and shard and it's vain and the gang they want to drink in the old saloon which we remember from season one that's now been turned into a school which we also remember from season two that's where baby yo was eating the little uh macaroons little blue macaroons how absurd is this just place this in real life picture a building is turned into a school that used to be a bar or saloon and then a bunch of drunkards show up to the elementary class and they're like we're trying to fucking get our drink on trying to let the beak let us in how absurd is that so two things one nothing hurts more than like an

old beloved spot you used to freak him with your buddies to then see it become like a fucking bank of america you're just like come on true man so i understand that side of things however i also understand like pirates are kind of you know they're a rough gang to be around they're they're a little you know tough however i thought he was like, oh, well, that's cool. No wonder why he wasn't letting me in. I thought at this point, the pirate, I finally understood. It's not like the pirate's like, dude, you don't understand. Like, we used to come here every night for 10 fucking years of our life.

He's like, I had a couple of drinks here. Just being a goddamn dick, trying to throw these pirate nuts around. And shout out to my guy fucking uh carl weathers for fucking throwing his even bigger dick down i mean like get the fuck out of your shoe boys you guys can come to my like executive suite my high magistrate i was hoping that that was going to be a running joke it was going to be i'm thinking like an arrested development thing because the robot calls the droid calls him high magistrate or magistrate he corrects him with High Magistrate.

Mando calls him Magistrate. He doesn't correct Mando. Do we have a little, I hate to say it, but like discrimination issue? I thought he did correct him. I thought he corrected two people. Did he correct Mando? I didn't hear him correct Mando. I think he did. Maybe he didn't.

But again, like again, Carl Weathers in Arrested Development with the Sioux. You got yourself a stew. One of my favorite lines of all time and one of my favorite shows so i i do understand where these pirates are coming from but come on man like after like the second time you just have to go like i love you want to sit in the back of social studies yeah and and drink a whiskey like what what are you thinking crazy and the carl weathers thing i hope the high magistrate thing becomes like a thing later on in the season we see him like putting a bong down and he's like I hope the high magistrate thing becomes like a thing later on in the season. We see him like putting a bong down and he's like, I'm the high magistrate.

Hi. Oh, I thought you were going to say like he had it like on the bottom of the bong. It's at high magistrate. That's like, dude, if you demand to drink in a school, even in like Star Wars Galaxy, which is like as lawless as it gets, I'm like, they're like, you're dude even if you're like a pirate we're still gonna throw you in cuffs and you can have your fucking you know boss come and get you from fucking jail weirdo yeah oh also by the way high magistrate this actually checks out with your theory bob whether your little headcanon thing him having all red skittles on his desk yeah that is like you know it's like a

band right where they have no i i'm going the opposite oh really when you have a rider and you're like have all the you know only the brown m&ms or have the orange ones picked i don't remember like the story but if if you could have like one of just one color candy, like that's a pretty baller move. Like the magistrate doesn't get that treatment. The high magistrate gets only one. Like if you could have one flavor of a candy, what would you choose? Or like one color of a certain kind of candy?

What would you, what would Bob Fox, high magistrate of Barstool Sports have? It's actually really easy for me. It'd be banana Laffy Taffy. Oh no, Clem has gotten gotten up he put his headphones down he walked away from the podcast what the fuck you don't like banana laffy taffy you don't like banana laffy taffy listen for the people jokes on it too for the people for the people that didn't watch the last of us recap of the last episode, we had a falling out on this podcast, one of many, as it turns out,

because I don't like Legos, which I then remind Bob that he hates peanut butter, which I love. Bob loves Legos. I love peanut butter. We both hate the other thing that the other person loves. Banana Laffy Taffy is like one of the only reasons I didn't draft Laffy Taffy in the fruit candy draft on the dog walk because this is the thing. I'm not a

banana fan, so I just don't like bananas. I just don't like the flavor of bananas. I don't think it's a very weird thing. I like other fruits. I just do not like bananas. You can't eat fruit. I'm allergic to all fruit, yeah. The artificial flavor of banana I think is better than I have two flavors in my head to where I go. The

artificial flavor is a lot better than the real thing. Banana banana and cotton candy i think the artificial cotton candy flavoring is a lot better than the actual sticky cotton candy the consistency i don't like i think i like watermelon well you know what though now that i'm thinking about it we have laffy taffy in the office which is an absurd thing to say that's something that's bought for the barstool sports kitchen bananas always left over and i'm always thrilled i'm like look i got so many bananas maybe people don't like banana laffy town i hate to tell you bob because i even when we're bringing up like uh on that fruit uh candy draft we were bringing up honorable mentions and i said you know runces another candy and i has been added so the best and i just throw the bananas right out

and they were like yep that's right like again you're and you're coming from a place where you didn't don't eat fruit granted you do know the the artificial flavor of it so the fact you said banana maybe my taste buds are all fucked up because of that like my fruit things are like all messed up we got to just fix you we got to like kind of have align your taste buds like a chiropractor aligns it back and you're like peanut butter is delicious what have i been missing this whole time and you have or like mando aligns ig11 hey there you go there you go for the record i would choose pink starburst that would be my one all right that's a good one i can't argue that one i like red better than pink but they're pretty close they're pretty close yeah that's so that's the s tier of starburst for sure definitely so karga as we mentioned tries

to defuse the situation winds up shooting a gun out of guy's hand gets a little more violent karga and mando have to take all of them out and then karga asks mando to be his marshal and we get the oh what happened to kara dune and they're like after she brought in moff gideon she was recruited by special forces and that's all they say about it i assume that's all they'll ever say about it i think that's she's been written off the show i actually appreciated that they did that oh i don't have it here anymore i had it pulled up i had the uh gina carano lip lip biting gif lined up this was going to be our last memory of her but i can't find it on my phone uh yeah i she she went off to her home planet like the the simpsons thing that heavy yeah yeah they poochied

her ass for sure we said i think we said at the time like she was a fine character but it's over like i'm not going to lose any sleep about her not being there i wonder how much they had to write around all this the biggest thing was how he shot the trigger finger of the guy when he pulled the gun so he's not shooting the guy or shooting him in the knee how he shot The trigger finger of the guy when he pulled the gun So he's not shooting the guy or shooting him in the kneecap He shot the trigger finger which shows Our boy fucking Carl Weathers Has a shot which shot at the

It was him right he got the He's the one who shot the finger out So I love that the other takeaway I had Talking about gonna take it to the Pirate King Pirate King might be the sweetest title I've ever heard in my life That is why That's true

Get you some pirate water And then you got the Pirate King leading the way Just an all time great name I also wanted to mention Grief Karga has two Tiny droids carrying his cape Everywhere he goes and he is just dripped Out in this new high magistrate outfit Everything about his new outfit

I love his his gray beard And everything Carl Weathers one of the Swaggiest dudes to ever live I have to Go back to like the first season To Navarro which the my only Beef is every time I hear Navarro I Think of Dave Navarro Dave Navarro Yeah it's like it's kind of a mindfuck which

Just had a very star different it's a Star Warsy name but it's a name that Also exists I need I wish it had a different Name I just got to see what it looks like the before And after I a different it's a star warsy name but it's a name that also exists i need i wish it had a different name i just got to see what it looks like the before and after i feel like it's uh nowhere you know beginning of guardians to nowhere infinity war to nowhere now there's a big time change we hear that moff gideon was sent off to a new republic war tribunal i don't really know what the fuck that means but I assume he's going to break out pretty soon. And Karga calls the New Republic a far off bureaucracy. Is this some kind of tease, almost like the prequels teased the Jedi being corrupt?

They're teasing the sequels, the new empire, the new republic rather. They're not the best either. And that led to their fall in The Force Awakens when they all got taken out in one quick swoop. Yep, I think there's many things the mandalorian is designed to do and one of them will be to fix up the sequel trilogy through like little plots and little mandate on it yep yeah the entire snoke reveal that's gonna be like six seasons worth of star wars shit that they're gonna do but it'll somehow end up all being fine because we trust the felonium we trust the fabra and dr pershing is back this season ken jack himself so we may get some cloning stuff this season who knows mando acts for ig11 back he

looks at the statue and he's like some of those are his original parts right like can we actually get him back he doesn't trust any other droids and he needs a droid to help him look over mandalore now we know from the trailers that he will be acquainted with r5d4 at some point this season so i wonder if that will wind up being his droid to explore mandalore i'm excited that r5 is finally getting some shine some some nice deserved shine after 40 years that's one of the most absurd things that r5 is going to be playing a role and for the people that don't know it's the droid from star wars that kind of blows a gasket before r2d2 you know gets taken by luke and this one's broken here he says a little whiny voice in that one

fucking uh mark again i love him but he it is one of those things that always like Makes my uh like makes The hair on the back of my neck go up so That's actually that's a good call and again Going from a statue to just pull The fucking statue off and they throw it on The operating table what a move Best If you could have a statue built

For one Star Wars character that's not Like a an A a B Or even like a C tier character right who would you choose like you're saying like a low tier character then a lower tier yeah because like lando you can't say lando because he's fucking legit or you can't say han or luke or whatever because they probably have statues of them built in certain regions what's a guy like an ig11 or lower uhature character? I'll go with, because I just rewatched the entire series,

and these two episodes stuck out as two of my favorites to rewatch. Migs Mayfeld, Bill Burr, Billy Blasters, Billy Bounty Hunter. I think he's an amazing character. I hope to see him back. He was at the season three premiere in LA last night, so I'm hoping that means he'll appear again in season three. mean he's such a fan favorite character why would you not bring him back that's a fair point i'm going either tubes from and or just because tubes and tubes is like i'm talking like it's in like his high school gym they're like tubes end up getting a job

at this place and he's kind of a big deal or i gotta go with my guy lobot because like maybe bespin like the battle of bespin or something like that they they not only i think lando clearly has the statue in the middle of the town square but somewhere maybe even on the statue of lando lobot's there waking up with his little fucking uh thing around his head his little device not a surprising pick from you if you're a longtime my mom's basement listener you know clem's love for lobot there he is putting the headphones to the side of his head there on the youtube so they take the statue apart they try to do some surgery on it and basically an evil version of ig11 wakes up and he resorts back to his original programming which was to terminate grogu he was the asset right i think that's what they called

him in the first yes and it's some horror movie shit like when he's half a body crawling at mando and everything was like oh my god he's got the red eyes classic trope for a robot as soon as they get the red eyes you're like all right they're evil and i just remembered c-3po from last skywalker the last skywalker i didn't see that movie i mean yeah you did bob you saw the last skywalker i just got juice the last skywalker i didn't see that movie i mean yeah you did bob you saw the last skywalker you saw those two movies combined are the last skywalker in my dumb brain and mando shows off that he truly is a dad in this scene when the robot the droid has a great moment to shine pushes over a bust of ma of uh not moth gideon of grief karga lands on ig 11's head and mando makes a fucking

dad joke he goes now that's using your head oh i loved it i loved it from our boy din jarren that was a dad joke and it had like the campy star wars humor that we had growing up i feel that was the kind of stuff that they had back in the day and our boy ig11 he's going down that uncle ben path like we're just gonna keep killing him him like Kenny from South Park. There's a few characters that are like this, and he apparently is going to be one. Poor fucking guy. And listen, this is actually, like, a pretty good point because, like, these two guys are older dudes. If there was, like, a young, like, whippersnapper programmer, he'd be like, well, this thing was programmed to kill Grogu at one point. I said the G word.

Baby Yo at one point, right? And they'd be like, yeah. They'd be like, alright, we should probably, like, I'll recircuit the wires and, you know, unplug the router, plug it back in, and everything should be fine. So I did like how they did that, even though it was definitely, like, just two old guys who don't know

how fucking robots work. And when the robot is, like, locked in, when IG-11's locked in like mando passes baby yo off and like he's still going at baby yo and it's like when you have like your hands full and you're trying to figure out like your brain's just not working it's like dude what are you doing right now what are you gonna get him killed and it's it's just one of those moments of panic that you have so shout out to uh our boy grief card have a fucking bust made and boom, just flattening.

Did you see the clip of Pedro Pascal saying baby Yoda accidentally for the first time? No. Oh, that makes me so happy. Oh my God. It was incredible. You're going to have to check it out. I retweeted it last night. It was on the Graham Norton show and Graham Norton was just like, oh, it's so baby Yoda's

this or that. And he's like, yeah, baby. Oh my God. I yeah, Baby Yoda. Oh, my God. I said Baby Yoda. He goes, I have to go. And he just gets up and he, like, starts to, like, walk away. He's like, Disney is not going to be happy about that. Pedro, you motherfucker.

I told you never to say that word. Now you're fucking fired, motherfucker. I'm going to hire someone else to wear the helmet. So we get to one of my favorite parts of the entire episode here i wouldn't be surprised that this goes down as one of my favorite parts of season three when it's all said and done grief cargas's navarro luckily has attracted the greatest droidsmiths in the outer rim i knew where this was going right away he said the azaleans let's bring him down and it's babu frick and company we don't know if this is babu frick and his friends babu

frick and just more people of his species co-workers his family still don't know if this is the fricks but they have so many funny lines babu specifically when they start to work on ig 11 he says can't fix the broken the broken the broken keeps saying the broken and karga keeps translating he's like he says it's broken mando looks he's like yeah i fucking got that thanks for that and grogu at the end oh this cute little grogu he walks over and he hugs babu frick and he goes no squeeze no squeeze bad baby bad baby bad baby oh my god babu frick what a home run character what a home run voice whoever What a home run voice. Whoever came up with that voice. He was one of the highlights of the rise of Skywalker.

I left every time he was on screen when he pops up at the end and he goes, Hey, Hey, love that shit. I'm going to wind up buying some Babu Frick merchant Disney next week. I fucking know it. Love the appearance here. Way to take a thing from the sequel trilogy,

loop it into the Mandalorian and Have it be completely organic it worked We needed a droid Smith we know a droid Smith oh chef's kiss thank you John Farrow Dave Filoni for the people Watching on YouTube you know Bobby Bobby Robbie's talking from his heart when he's Using his hands to talk that's Papa Della Bella style right there he's got

The pinch fingers and he's expressing Himself with his hands because that is The dead giveaway for you bob but yeah i mean as soon as i saw the fricks i was like oh robbie is somewhere smiling right now you were actually sleeping at that time i watched it about six in the morning you already had watched it and giving your recap i'm sure so uh yeah all time like as a non-frick stand did you like the frick scene that that was good that was good he didn't get turn any droids to the dark side of the force so i like that a lot more i mean he essentially said he couldn't do it he's like no you find part i do it otherwise no the broken and i'm telling you this was another thing i'm gonna do for the last time

listen you motherfuckers you dropped the ball with that frick in Rise of the Skywalker. I couldn't remember the name of the movie. Close, yeah. We gotta sell 8,000 units a minute on those things because they are cute as fuck. And if you don't fuck C.S. Amanda Lauren, you're all out of jobs. Because, like, they

really need to, like, when we saw him in the trailer for Rise of Skywalker, we're like this guy's gonna be an absolute home run and while good it like could have been i guess it's because the movie just flopped right so it is no merch for rise of skywalker so fucked up there's like so many things they could have made cool merch of and there's like there was one drop at the start and they never wound up following things up with it and they they just fucking hit the ejector burner like all right we're done with this trilogy let's move on we're gonna just roll out some other shit and hopefully fix this thing down the road so uh sienna thought

as soon as she saw them she goes dad baby yoda's gonna eat those guys it was terrified and then when he started hugging him like oh shit she's right. He's getting his motherfuckers. Bad baby. One of my favorite things. I hope that becomes a meme down the road because that was all time. The voices worked. Everything worked with them. So I'm happy my guy Bob has some fricks in his life here. Oh, I loved it.

I absolutely loved it. So much better than that goddamn girl in Tatooine that I hate. What's her name? The red hair. The girl in Tatooine with the red hair. I don't know if she's in Tatooine. Is she Tatooine? Oh, you're thinking of the droidsmith?

Yeah, yeah. That was a guy. Thundercat. No, no, no, no, no. The woman. She's been with Mando a lot. Oh, Fennec Shand? No, no, no. Who are you talking about? The girl with the curly hair. Oh, Amy Sedaris? Paley Moto? Yes, yes. Oh. know who are you talking about the girl with like the curly hair oh amy sedaris paley moto yes yes

uh i don't like her remember i'm not a big fan of her i just think she's a little like above her britches i'm not a huge fan of her so all right i'm personally i'm in different honor i'd rather have the fricks i feel like this this could have been One of her storylines at one point I'd rather have the Fricks be involved than her Okay I see what you're saying I agree with that Pellimoto I'm very indifferent on Pellimoto

She's fine I think she'll appear this season I'm okay with her She'll definitely appear this season Because she had R5 last It's a brown hair I feel like there's a little bit of auburn in there i don't want people nitpicking me too much i did think it was brown yeah yeah it might be brown i don't i just did not like her and i remember saying during the episodes i'm like

i just don't like this lady she's the way she talks just bothers me so mando takes off and he's flanked by vane one of the pirates and a couple of his pirate buddies they get into a little dog fight which then becomes mando like flanking them tactically and taking them out strategically almost stealth like with his n1 starfighter and it's almost like black panther batman like where you don't see him and then all of a sudden he took you out and then they're like where is he he's looking all over for him but then he's led straight to the giant ship of gory and shard the lead pirate who looks like if swamp thing was a guy if swamp thing was a person great design you could tell there's a lot of practical stuff going on with him you could see the leaves moving and everything and he threatens

mando but mando's like hey uh grogu check this shit out never trust a pirate clicks one button hyperspace right the fuck out of there once again establishing which we found out in the book of Boba Fett the N1 starfighter not to be fucked with pretty fast ship awesome ship uh that whole asteroid scene I loved like the fact that they were high he was able to hide just go out just knock them out one by one which is like has to be horrifying if you're like that you can even tell like they were even they were just kind of like oh fuck what the hell's going on here so i was a real big fan of that whole scene and again i feel like the starship getting a little bit more love now

that it's in a franchise that is a little more loved than the prequels are so i loved all that i also love how these pirates look like pirates they're space pirates but they're pirates nonetheless like if you said what is this guy's profession, especially about the pirate King, which again, it's a great name. It's even the dude. There was one dude who looked just like Davy Jones when he's like an octopus. So we started watching pirates of the Caribbean here. We're going through all the Disney movies at the cost of a climb in the next month before

Disney. And I'm talking, we're going through Pinocchio, Cinderella, what is it? Tangled. We're Moana. And then we're even going into the pirates. Cinderella, what is it? Tangled. Moana. And then we're even going into the pirates. We're throwing some old Marvel movies on. We're getting, they're going to know every fucking Disney movie by the time we enter the parks.

And Sienna has become obsessed with the pirates movies. Wifey Clem obsessed with the pirates movies. So I've been seeing a lot of pirates on the screen in the last couple of weeks. And I'll tell you, these guys fucking nailed the pirate vibe. So I was very happy that even in space they kind of it's a little goofy i guess but i i liked it just because i'm in pirate world right now so the fact that there's a ride that the resistance ride is a half hour long right like i think it's like i think it's like 15 20 minutes i was just talking to trent

about it trent has been on it and he talked to me about he's like you're gonna lose your mind he's like you don't understand you feel like you're in the movie like you're in star wars during the ride i was like brother you need to stop talking because i'm getting hard in the office right now i was gonna say you're gonna need tissues i was thinking more for the crime but you might need tissues for your dick too so whatever i might tissues are gonna be necessary for the right you're in a diaper on the ride i got a poor boy bob fox just came himself on the star wars i can't wait oh my god we're gonna have so much fun so he lands on kelevala which is a uh mandalorian planet it's like a planet in the mandalorian system and there's a mandalorian temple on it the temple of bokatan he leaves the fucking cockpit open in the rain i

don't know if you noticed that. Oh, I did. Brother, you're leaving a cockpit open. I noticed that on my second watch this morning. And he asked for her help in retaking Mandalore. Not surprising, a decent request after he found out that she had the same goal last season. But my note, Clem, is that she's being an emo, bratty, immature, preachy loser who needs to get the fuck off her soapbox.

She goes, oh, the stolen fleet are mercenaries now. They don't care about me because I don't have the Darksaber. Why don't you give them a call? You got the Darksaber. They'll do whatever you want. She's leaning over in her chair, slumped over. She brings up the fact that Mando was in a cult again, the children of the watch. She brought this up the first time she met him last season and then they kind of got over that they did the whole mission

together moth gideon now just because he's got the dark saber she's upset about that again that he was in a cult i've brought this up on the podcast before and i'm bringing it up on the podcast again she was in death watch the worst mandalorian cold while her sister was trying to unite mandalore her sister, nonviolent pacifist. She was an extremist. She was burning villages of innocent people to the fucking ground with the Vizsla's for no reason, just because she was, you know, in her feelings as a teenager or whatever. Bo-Katan needs to get off her high horse when talking to Mando here. Oh, you weren't a cult. You weren't a cult. You weren't a cult. And I didn't forget Bo-Katan.aton all right i almost woke my neighbors up at four in the morning making a tiktok about this last

night she's really grinding my gears and we're about five minutes into her appearance on season three tell them why you mad son tell them why you mad bob fox fucking fired up i will say this definitely a brat cult stuff felt a little extreme for like the 10th time The way she was just slumped on that Throne though she was kind of owning like She looked cool and that fucking Planet what's the name of the do you know the name of the planet Televala Sweet ass planet I that

When I go to a Star Wars planet I'm always like What I want to live there and that's up There it's like the Miami planet from Andor Is one this is like two to three It does strike me it might be a little new yorky where it looks nice now but in the winter it could get a little cold there but fucking like an outdoor throne just great vibes but i i promise you this i'm not gonna promise it i was gonna say i promise that i will be against bokutan the entire series

riding with you but i can't i don't know what she's going to do that's going to, if she's like Thanos is right, then I'm going to have to become a Bo-Katan. But I'm riding with you, Bob. Even with the Laffy, if she says she likes Banana Laffy Taffy, then you guys can go fucking have your own little cult together with that fucking nonsense. Because Banana Laffy Taffy stinks. That's crazy.

I'll tell you what though, Saltwater Taffy, you go to the Jersey Shore, you go to Lucky Leo's, you get real taffy on the boardwalk that's better Two things you have to get Whenever you go to the shore Saltwater taffy and fudge You go to the fudge store you spend like $20 On like four or five pieces you get like the

I always like the cookies and cream Maybe a little Reese's peanut butter cup something like that M&M's I don't know if you're are you mint chocolate Big mint chocolate. Yeah. We've talked about that. That is the one thing we bond over.

They do. It's crazy. Cause that's like a very divisive issue. I know, but that's good. That's really good. I actually, I was going to ask what your bow meter was.

I'm going to say one to 10 in terms of 10 being pure rage. One, you like Boca 10 again. I still think you have room i think you have like a seven and a half here but i think we're gonna hit 10 at some point this season she's only just starting to get on my nerves i'll say that this is only the start for me in bo katan where we might have a bigger rivalry than mando in bo katan this season we're gonna change it to a six and a half on the bob of the bow meter by the way like you said our planet it looked cool looked nice she

had a very cool droid when mando came in at the same time in the winters her open fucking thing looks like metlife stadium all right ugly disgusting and trust me i'm a giants fan you're all clumsy no i i don't like metlife stadium they completely botched it huge botched job and then she says at the end that everything about the minds of mandalore just myths which makes me believe it's not myths as soon as she says that i get the han solo vibes of like oh yeah you know all that hokey pokey religion blah blah blah when she said myth i thought do you go down there and find the mythosaur aka the dinosaur that boba fett came riding in on on the holiday special i brought

this up a lot on the podcast i love me the holiday special on the uh shelf behind me i don't know if you could see it you probably can't behind there is a lunchbox from star wars celebration chicago that i waited in line hours for i'm talking like four or five hours just to get this holiday special lunchbox with the mythosaur i'd like to see the mythosaur there's certain things that we touch on on these podcasts where it always circles back and the mythosaur is is one of your like three or four things that always circles back to it so i'm rooting for that i will root for no matter what i'll be rooting for that boba fett riding a rancor that was one thing we're close right now we're going to like next

level give us the big daddy on the fucking planet or some sort of vibes from that so i'm with him with the dark saber on a fucking dinosaur with grogu like in the satchel that looks so badass i want that as a poster john carlos basura was just like what the fuck did i get myself into that's the other thing like how is he breaking out who's breaking him out is bo katan gonna be a bitch and go break him out because she's mad about mando she wants the dark saber she knows he could get his help whatever i don't know so i'm starting to get worried she's gonna try to hurt our baby yoda i'm really gonna worried about that the more you talk about her i was talking to a friend of mine finney and he was saying he thinks it's gonna be like a tag team match by the end of the season moff gideon boon, Bo-Katan versus Mando and Grogu.

Oh, I like that. Which is a hell of a tag team match, to be honest. Like that is, I'm down for that in the season finale. Those two years with Luke better have paid off. They really better have. And I thought, did he mature in those two years? Because when he sees the IG-11 statue, he does give a look where he's almost like in mourning like little grogu's like oh i do remember that guy gave his life for me so hopefully we get some version of ig11 back i've seen some people speculating on twitter that mando's just

going to be able to like program ig11 into his suit kind of like how they program like that they didn't solo the millennium falcon into the money fat whatever that fucking thing was that would be funny though if taikaika can just be the voice on his shoulder being like, watch your back. He turns around, hits something, something like that. That'd be cool. I'm happy we got our IG-11. I didn't see that coming.

That was one part that when I saw the statue, I definitely didn't think it was coming. So that made me happy. I have to ask you this. This is a take I had. The theme song for Mandalorian is a top three part of the show. Baby Yoda's number one. The theme song, which they chopped up in a bunch of different ways, I felt, in this episode.

Right? Yeah. And then every time I was here, the main theme, it just gets you hyped. And then whatever else you want to say. Pedro Pascal, the armor, the weapons. I think you're right if you extend it extend it to the music which this season is notably not done by ludwig gorenson this season is done by i wish i had the person's name the person that did book of boba fett which was also a very good scored um season in general they're using ludwig's original themes of course

the theme for baby yoda the theme for the mandalorian all the themes that he made for the show are still in the show but it is a new person composing the score which gives me hope because i thought it was unnoticeable in this episode that it was like you know there was a change made between season two and three gives me hope because originally i remember one of the first things we said is how can you do star wars without john williams like it won't feel like Star Wars without him. And I think if you go back and listen to our recap of the Mandalorian episode one, I think the both of us didn't love the music. We were like, we don't know how to feel about the music yet.

Didn't feel like Star Wars. And now here we are. And it couldn't feel more like Star Wars. Every time we hear it, dun dun. That's like, all right, we're back in the galaxy far far away so it's just a matter of warming up to it and like you said the music is one of the best parts of this show i think it's one of the best parts of book of boba fett i think it was one of the best parts of obi-wan kenobi even in a show where people didn't love that the music never

really missed yeah i can't think of there's a lot of things i think of about those shows that i didn't like but it was never the. It was usually something character driven or actually thinking back. I feel like Kenobi, maybe people did complain about the music. Cause I remember there being videos where people put prequel music into the final battle. And it was, Oh yeah.

It definitely raised a stage. Yeah. All right. All right. New music guy. Don't fuck this up. If you fucked this up, we're going to give Rick the writer,

you know, the keys to the musician to the music part of this as well. Just have him do all the music. If he writes stories, he can write music. Like you said, though, I love when they kind of remix the theme. My favorite one being the season two premiere. One of the best episodes, one of the best pieces of Star Wars ever with Cobb Vanth, where he goes into that town to meet him. There's an acoustic guitar version of the theme that plays as soon as he rides into. I forget what the town most most Espa.

No, that was a different one. Whatever it was, he rides in and there's just an acoustic guitar. It's like a slow motion scene. You see people in the town. Very Western vibe. Fucking love it. It's amazing. This is an amazing show it's an amazing time to have it back in our lives with pedro pascal doing the last of us as we said

Once again, this was recorded on Monday, right after the last of us air. So you got our fresh reactions. Here we go. The last of Us aired. So you got our fresh reactions. Here we go. The Last of Us, episode seven. Hello and welcome back to my mom's basement. It is Robbie and Clem, and we are here for a quick hitter.

If you're watching on YouTube or half of the podcast, if you're listening on the podcast feed for The Last of Us, episode seven seven last night i would say this was the most controversial episode of the last of us it aired on hbo and this was ellie's flashback so we got to see a lot of her story initially when they went back you know spoilers for the last of us and whatnot i was like oh we're going back to ellie's life before the apocalypse and then it clicked like oh wait she didn't have a life before the apocalypse this is her life yeah and even like her story I feel like Everything before this was probably pretty

Gray and bland like there's probably some big moments But they'd have to do a lot of jumping We decided hey let's get a Last of us recap get it out as soon As possible for everyone and then they hit Us with probably the Definitely the least Well received episode of the season so

Thanks guys for that help keeping the basement on, you motherfuckers at HBO. But nonetheless, we're here to celebrate. What are we here to celebrate? This is the beginning. Last night, Sunday night, February 26th, marked the beginning of Pedro Pascal month. That's right. This motherfucker is going to be living on our screens twice a week

for at least the next month. I think that basically lines up to four weeks between Mando and The Last of Us. So shout out to Pedro Pascal, who is probably collecting big fat paychecks. His agents probably just haven't the time of his life. Like, buddy, we hit this one out of the park. I think

we're going to agree on this. This was definitely my least favorite episode, yet a necessary episode, because I think you do have to find out about the most important person in the entire show you do have to find out about the most important person in the entire show. You have to find out a little bit about their past. Do I wish that episode became like half an episode and they found another half an episode to go around that? Because even the Bill and Frank episode was only half an episode, right? And that was awesome,

but kind of its own story. However, I have to say, I think this is the floor. I think we watched the floor for The Last of Us. I don't think it'll get more boring or worse or whatever words you want to say to describe it, but it was an important episode for Ellie, even though it went a bit long. I agree. And did you think that the floor was bad necessarily?

Like, I didn't think this was a bad episode. I still enjoyed watching it. And afterwards, just kind of thought back and was like, like yeah that was probably towards the bottom of the last of us episodes but the show's quality is so good that i still had a good time with this yeah no i i had a i had a fine time with it i have to also admit that i turned the volume down very early in the mall because we're in a fucking abandoned mall i just figured something's gonna happen then once the dudes i opened i was i was muted from basically there and out so i missed basically night i had to look up the song they were dancing to to then see because i'm reading the closed captions a bunch of fucked up shit going

on in the closet at club between nine and ten at night uh but i didn't dislike it but i wasn't like oh man this was there have been episodes of tv shows that i really liked that by the time end of the episode i was like that was a real waste of time. I don't feel like this was a waste of my time. Still a good, still a perfectly fine episode, but yeah, definitely it left you wanting some more. So we'll just leave it at that. And again, like this is based on a video game. This all happens in the video game. And I think the video game shout out my god heavy spoilers for telling this there's more action in this in the sequence of the video game i think if they went more action here they could have probably had a better show except for some reason the goddamn

assholes at hbo set the difficulty to easy for this and we just don't see any goddamn clickers zombies infected whatever you want to call them so we got just one dude If we turned it up to medium It probably would have been a lot more fun If we turned it up to hard shit would have been flying everywhere Motherfuckers would have been like driving helicopters into that mall I feel like the one dude In the mall was actually scarier Than an entire horde or an entire

Group of zombies or infected I'm sorry Clickers whatever you want to call them That one shot where they just Panned out from the arcade and slowly went into the mall and into that other store the american girl doll store whatever it was creepy dolls everywhere that guy vechna like is on the wall with his fucking tentacles that shot was worth the entire weight of the episode alone because oh my god i got chills thinking about it i was like this is the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life.

And then it wasn't like, even when he showed up later on in the Halloween store, it wasn't as scary as it was like an oh fuck moment. We got to get rid of this guy. We got to neutralize this threat. But man, that pan out, I loved. Yeah, I agree with that. And when there is just one guy

that you know is probably going to cause the mayhem, you're just like, all right, when's he going to come instead of one guy and then another guy and then another guy uh but like you said fine for what it is i heard someone said this um online i forgot where i saw it and i think it's a good way to put it this the last of us isn't a quote-unquote zombie show it's a survival show so if you think of it in that thing it's like there's not a lot of zombies well it's a survival show again i think by this point i've heard enough times during like the recap pods or youtubes by people who actually know what they're talking about from the game they say there usually is more action in the game they've definitely toned it back a bit i'm sure we're going to get

some coming in the future and we're like man i wish we could have just had our hearts broken every week it was a lot easier back then but you don't always know what you have until it's gone. So let's get into it. I'll go through it with some of the notes that I took throughout the episode. In the beginning, we see that stab wound, and I knew they were going to show it. I was like, oh, don't show me the stab wound. I hate seeing the stab wounds. You know, television makeup artists have perfected that at this point, too.

Just seeing like a gross wound where they press down on it, more blood comes out. Oh, it makes me a little queasy every time i never was like a queasy around blood guy you know growing up a wrestling fan but now i see it in tv shows stab wounds and shit i hate it bob um what sport is your big sport that you cover here at barcelona it's mixed martial arts yeah and what sport is most likely to see like a wound that's just gushing blood in it? It's probably mixed martial arts, Clem. It's probably MMA, UFC. It's different, though. Like you don't get a stab wound in your belly in mixed martial arts. Like I would rather see like a guy's eyebrow get sliced open.

And I know, all right, plastic surgeons backstage are going to slice that up. Ellie with her fucking little yarn upstairs is going to stitch me up. Like, oh, my God. Even watching that later on to skip ahead. Like when they actually show the stitch, I said out loud, I was like, Oh,

don't show me the needle going into the skin. I don't need to see it. I don't need to see it. And then they showed it. I knew they would. I love how she pressed, uh, put the pressure on the wound.

That's the only thing in the world I know to do in any kind of first aid ever. If someone I know has a serious cut, just put pressure on the wound. I can't tell you how to do CPR. I can't tell you the Heimlich maneuver exactly how to do it the right way. There's so many. It could be the same

fucking thing, the CPR on the Heimlich maneuver. I don't know. However, I know. Put pressure on that wound, baby, if it's bleeding. And there's probably wounds where they're like, that's a very bad idea. It's like putting water on a grease fire. Don't know. Don't care. Whoever. Listen. See this face? If if this guy's with you and i need to keep you alive you stab wound i'm putting pressure on that motherfucking wound till it stops bleeding bob i sure hope you're not that guy because you don't listen look at your own wound you'll be puking just

looking at your own wound you'll be getting puking your wound i know cpr i know the heimlich i took like the classes for that when i was having my nephew and he was about To be born I was like let me learn how to do this stuff Now the grease fire that's where You'll have to help me out I don't to this day how do You put out a grease fire I think it's water I think It's some other maybe throw some baking powder Or soda fuck I'm baking

One of them probably turns it into a bomb the other Probably smothers and I believe that's how you Do it also as a parent I should know All this stuff I even bought a $50 Like contraption that is like helps get things out of kids windpipes because you know stupid idiots our girl annie mccarthy large's wife posted and said how it's a great thing just to have i never read the directions i don't even know where it is it's somewhere in my kitchen this this is going to get me sued down the road. This is going to be a problem. We have to cut this from the pod. Oh, and then our boy Joel, he tells Ellie, Ellie, just go north because he knows how important she is to the world.

And obviously all the stuff he's been to, uh, Joel go north, go to Tommy. Tommy probably won't even ask where Joel is. Cause she's going to come in and he's not gonna be like, Hey, is my brother. All right. He's like, Hey, how's it going? Exactly. We're anti TommyTommy podcast. We established last week Tommy is just not a good sibling, not a good brother.

But when Joel gets tucked in, when he's like, just leave me, put something over me, she puts a little fucking jacket over him. I wrote, he looks real cozy. He looked like he was comfortable. He was on a bed. I was like, he might actually enjoy this little quiet time, you know? Yeah. I'll tell you, man. I mean, he's a dad.

I mean, even though he's technically his daughter isn't with him anymore. I don't think that enjoying a peace and quiet that really accentuates once your first kid is born. I don't think that ever leaves you. I think he has dad strength forever. And I think he has dad quiet love forever. Ellie's got sweet posters in her dorm. Classic like college dorm look. Her and her roommate who wasn't there at the start.

Her roommate had gone away. Riley, we didn't know where she was or what her deal was ellie actually gets into a fight because of it at first i thought maybe this was like a dead friend that someone made fun of but she gets into a fight goes to the captain or corporal whatever he was captain i i was trying to figure out i was like is that corporate i'm cpt have me so confused and then i uh my guy heavy spoilers the captain was like, is that corporate? I'm CPT. I'd be so confused. And then I, uh, my guy, heavy spoilers, the captain was like, there it is. He's like,

I'm not going to throw you in the clink. That doesn't work. I've thrown you in the clink three times. Like just go back to what you're doing. And he gives her the Walkman too, which I was like, shit with the Vecna comparisons with the Walkman. I wonder if the last of us,

it's not like they ripped off stranger things. Cause they're doing it from a video game that came out before stranger things. But I wonder if the creators saw all of that in season four and was like fuck there's a little similarity there yeah shout out our girl ellie for just like eating like three uh bids in the hole too and to the point it doesn't even work on her it's like with like when sienna was young we used to give her time out and she would be straight for like the next six months she wouldn't you know get in trouble aj he's like laughs at it he's like oh you

can come and time out with me man let's just hang out so there's certain people and shout out to the captain for realizing that it's like what are you going to do by taking away your walk her walkman but i do think that is painting the picture of that like ellie is like someone who has to kind of be led that way to becoming a leader but she's going to be a good leader when she gets there i had to ask my guy bob here little generation little generation gap. I imagine my guy, Bob never had a Walkman. Did you have a Discman growing up though? Exactly. I never had a Walkman, but I had a Discman. I used to bring it to summer rec. My mom like ran summer rec for our town one summer. And I'll never forget bringing that Discman every single day. And like the older kids thought I was

cool because I had like some cool CDs from my my older brother and sister so i was always trying to like impress them with like a cool cd i brought in that day the discman still kind of gives me but even i'm like a little i think i had maybe a walkman for a few years but i had a discman pretty early the clems uh my dad's a big music fan so he made sure i i was taken care of with the discman pretty quick and people forget man these goddamn kids these days with their phones or however they listen to their music dad's a big music fan. So he made sure I was taken care of with the discman pretty quick. And people forget, man, these goddamn kids these days with their phones or however they listen to their music,

that shit, you had to get one. I remember it was like anti-shock protection. Cause if you hit a bar, you then would skip. And then, you know, God knows if you keep skipping.

So there was real problems. I'm telling it. You think this last of us world is tough. Wait until you were back in the disc. We listen to music was no fucking walk in the park We meet finally Ellie's roommate Riley She climbs in through the window

And my first note and I swear I wrote this The second she climbed in through the window Just met Zendaya's sister Cause she plays Zendaya's sister on Euphoria Just met Zendaya's sister Rest in peace to her You just gotta know it's coming right My first note oh Riley

is big dead we've learned our lessons the last of us I didn't even think about like becoming like falling in love with Riley as like oh I just love this character so much because I know she is dead fucking me because

they're gonna just like the little notes they're hitting they clearly have a friendship you're like I'm supposed to like this person that Because they're going to, just like the little notes they're hitting, they clearly have a friendship. You're like, I'm supposed to like this person. That means they're dying in probably some really fucked up circumstances. Exactly. And it was another one where, like Frank, they took another HBO show, an actor from that. So this one was, like I said, Zendaya's sister from Euphoria. Frank was from The White Lotus.

When you do that, especially especially you hook me because you get these actors that i really like and care about already before i even see him in this show and then yeah i just know where it's going by the end oh god okay if you could name one hbo character that you do not want to see from another show that you do not want to see them kill like you love the characters so much you don't want to see them get killed on screen in this episode, in this show. Do you have anyone in mind? Larry David. I don't want to see it.

Complaining about the fungus. That would be actually fucking hilarious. And then, oh man, seeing, seeing his take on this world, that would be the greatest HBO crossover of all time. Larry David. He's like,

I'm eating squirrel. And he just blows his brains out. He goes, he goes with the gun just blows his fucking brains out 100 i'll go like a little a much smaller character i'm thinking my guy slim charles from the wire he's a big tough guy just like a lovable dude and just seeing him just get eaten by zombies will crush me i have my radar up now i know we're gonna have a wire i know maybe we'll have a curb we'll get like leon or someone like that right probably get a couple sopranos guys you know at some point i'm kind of excited to see which hbo people we have next that's kind of like that'll be our next running tally here yeah so they go up to that fresh body as soon as they walk out of the fedra confines and everything they have a little night out fun sneak out night

whatever they walk up to that body and i was like these fucking freaks it's a fresh dead body she goes that wasn't here yesterday you know the world you live in i know you're in the safe fedra quarantine zone or whatever you understand the world though why are you going up to a fresh dead body i was so goddamn angry at these kids walking all willy-nilly in that abandoned alleyway and i'm like yeah granted you know that's probably fine but there's still always a chance that an infected could find a way or some raider just or it's like humanity's just kind of shit just bad people bad dudes just walking that alley i was so because again i'm watching this shit on like volume three as i'm reading the

closed captions and these 12 year olds or 14 whatever they are, are just walking around. So I was a little upset at that. And they're just laughing at dead bodies, having a good old time while I'm freaking out, doing bottle shots. They're doing bottle shots, Bob. And has that been a thing that you've ever done past a bottle back and forth with a friend like that?

Because that's never been a thing for me. Bob didn't go to college. Robbie didn't go to college. We'll just start off like that. And Robbie didn't go to college.bie didn't go to college we'll just start off like that and uh probably didn't go to college robbie isn't a big drinker and uh robbie doesn't obviously have like a bunch of friends that he went to college with anything you do i have done clearly yeah that's all i basically i don't think i i can't remember the last time i used a glass with any of my friends any kind of glass where shot glass mixed drink it was usually just bottle shots oh god i'm getting kind of sick thinking and then i'm like is this how they're

going to become infected because this dude i'm like is that white in his face is that fungus or is that you know some sort of drugs i think robbie has the drug stuff covered more than i do not those drugs not pills no pills or no uh injections or whatever. No, no, not sharing needles. There's the other thing I was like, are they going to get an infection from sharing a bottle or whatever with this guy?

Yeah, obviously not. And they have the discussion here of Fedra versus fireflies. Riley wants to go off, join the firefly. She already has essentially. And she calls Fedra fascist dick bags like a hundred times this episode. That's her favorite curse.

Dick bags. They go to the mall my first note was malls and zombies are just a hell of a combo there's a lefford dead level classic one where they're in a mall and i know that map like the back of my hand to this day haven't played it in 10 years but it's just one of those video game maps for me the mall did look awesome when it was all lit up and the first thing we got was electric Avenue with the electric stairs, which he was like, this is the first wonder of the mall.

Oh my God. I was like, all right, this is a fucking good time. Now the, the look of the mall, a plus 10 out of 10, like the actual aesthetic,

the neon lights and everything that was so cool to look at and just watch. It was a mall from 2003. I'm actually like trying to figure out how they did all that because i my my note was what the fuck was raleigh's plan like we're great night just hanging out with dead guys over that are junkies or doing bottle shots and then i was like oh this is now the mall episode because i love malls so much going to a dying mall in 2023 makes me so fucking sad because it's a different world now fucking bezos and the internet has just crushed all this goddamn shit i love that you go to a mall and you're like

fucking bezos because it's like i would buy this but i know it's like 80 off if i go on amazon and it'll be at my house before i even get home from this goddamn dying mall i saw dmx animal i had the great you did food courts. Think about where you have like six, just awesome chain, you know, restaurants or whatever you want to call it. Animal.

You have Auntie Anne's, which just makes everything smell good. You have your just stores, Spencer's. We all had the music stores. We grew up with the wall. I cam a lot. Everyone had their things.

Morex is a great movie. And it is. I just rewatched it last week. I showed it to my girlfriend for the first time ever. She loved it. I'm going to tell you this. This is, I don't think this is a great movie. It is. I just rewatched it last week. I showed it to my girlfriend for the first time ever. She loved it. I'm going to tell you this. I don't think this is a hot take. That's my favorite Kevin Smith movie.

Is that a hot take? No, I don't think it's a hot take. I think it would have been in the 90s because it was one of those where when it first came out, people kind of shit on it. But then I think as soon as the VHS came out, it became a cult classic, much like Clerks, to be honest. Yep. Yep. But then I think as soon as the VHS came out, it became an occult classic, much like Clerks, to be honest. Yep, yep. And I just watched Clerks 3 on the plane ride home after you had mentioned it, which, again, it's heartstrings. I'm just going to leave it at that.

And I liked Clerks. I love Clerks. Dogma. There's a lot of other. Stay in silent, Bob Straightback's on there. But I think Mallrats. So I love Malls. And the one good thing about Malls right now, Bob, this doesn't doesn't mean as much to you means a lot more maybe to your brother they have like

every mall has just one place where it's like an indoor playground for kids and it'll be like give us 20 bucks and you can come here the entire day so you want to go shopping you want to go have you know lunch at fucking chick-fil-a do that come, come back, whatever you want to do. It is the best thing on earth. And on weeks like I just had where the kids were home, everyone just goes to the mall and just get some energy out. So shout out to the mall, shout out Riley for being us there. And the escalator, that's the first time, like the first, I think we all like, we may not remember, but I could see it in my kids. The first time they were on escalator, like, holy shit, this is the greatest thing ever and

indoor malls like the one like the ones in boston i think those are the coolest ones i wish we had them in the city you know what i mean like the ones that kind of just go for blocks and they kind of go indoor and outdoor the ones like uh you know in the burbs here it's we just kind of have your typical like square malls where you just kind of go around and shit like that so i i just wish we had better malls i always love the ones in boston in particular i don't know if chicago has them i know la has some pretty sweet malls as well the ball episode that's what i'm calling this guys we're making chicken salad out of chicken shit they didn't give us the greatest episode so we're just gonna relive some what's your favorite what's your favorite mall store ever is there a number one in bob so that

this kind of goes into my next question i was going to say riley hides out in the food court which i thought was a weird place to make your bed and everything like where to sleep in the mall yeah i was gonna say where would you sleep in the mall and that kind of goes into like my favorite mall stores like there usually will be a mattress store like one of those sleep number stores or something like that but i was thinking a brookstone would be cool because they always got the bed in the back they got some massage chairs in there i don't know what the coolest store in the mall to stay in would be though the 03 so 03 brookstone was thriving i don't know how they were thriving they or they at least made it appear like they were thriving

they're probably racking up debt and bills but But people go in, use the chairs, the massagers for like 10 minutes, and then leave. And I guess if like one out of 1,000 people buys that chair, they're then sick because I remember it was a shitload of money. Brookstones, I actually do think is a good guess. I always loved Spencer. And again, you could just look at the posters. I could still hear the clanging of the posters. The clicking of the posters, yeah. It always smelled like incense or whatever probably because people were legitimately smoking weed. As I think of the people that worked at Spencer's back in the day., clicking the posters. Yeah. It always smelled like incense or whatever, probably because people were legitimately smoking weed.

As I think of the people that worked at Spencer's employees. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, I feel like some, what about like a Macy's or a JC penny too? You know what? You go into the mall.

Those are kind of confusing Macy, which, you know, you could feel safe in there. Yup. Your big department stores. It's a bookend. You can probably just like get in the vents,

maybe like set up shop in a guy's office so yeah i i think a macy's is probably though a sears too because sears you have some power tools and shit you're probably crazy with the sears true true you could rig that up like home alone like your kevin mcallister house essentially someone said it to me the other day too and i was like someone's like they never saw lebron james play in the n. I go, holy fuck. LeBron didn't exist. And then heavy spoilers said there was no Facebook. I'm like, this world is fucking wild right now.

And it's not just supposed to be infected everywhere. Something they noted about this world that I loved was they said, all the sneakers are taken, but the soap is still here. Like that was the first thing they alluded. And I was like, that's the fucking real world. Like if this really went down, the sneaker stores are the first ones they looted. And I was like, that's the fucking real world. Like if this really went down, the sneaker stores are the first ones to get rated. Right.

Because everyone wants the newest drops and the sneaker heads and the dump them and got them and whatever it is. The, my favorite part is how this show just turns a mirror to our current world where they complain about everyone complained about airplanes. No one really drove anywhere exciting. They kind of just did whatever. And they loved fucking shoes instead of soap, then is my next question bob where would you look

in the mall if fucking tomorrow there was a goddamn you know crazy thing that the you know zombie apocalypse or whatever this is gonna sound crazy i think this is gonna sound crazy to a lot of people i'm not going for useful here with my looting i'm going for i want to pass the time in an apocalypse i'm looting the lego store and i'm building the biggest lego sets they have to pass my time in a pretty boring world i would say uh so i'm same same thought except i hate legos i never was a lego guy just what i'm not a lego guy man i just i'm not very good at like not be a lego guy but you can't say I hate Legos, bro. You know how much joy Legos have brought me in my life?

I had a friend who was a diehard Lego guy, and I had to go to his house and play fucking Legos, and I hated it. Bob. You're sick. You don't like peanut butter. You don't like peanut butter. Yeah, that's a taste thing. Legos are great for everyone. You can't be allergic to Legos. Buddy, do you know how much Legos cost, too, these days thing legos are legos are great for everyone you can't be allergic to legos

buddy do you know how much legos cost too these days legos are expensive they're expensive and you know what they take up a lot of fucking room too my whole instagram explore page is legos but i'm like i'm a 24 year old man i'm not gonna buy legos and like i have the i do have a toy shelf behind me so it's not like but i just don't have the room for Legos. One day when I get super rich and famous, I picture having a basement almost like the Lego movie where I could have a table just for, you know, a full fucking city. Would you glue them like he does in the movie? Would you glue them together? No, no, no.

I'm against that. You can't. I did like the Lego movie. I will say that. And I, I, I respect people who like legos i am just not a lego guy and i will not apologize for not being a lego guy for all the reasons that bob just like well they're expensive they take up a lot of room and if you don't like them then it's just a lot of shit that is just laying around so i stand by my lego take even if i'm on an

island i don't care i would loot for the same kind of reasons. I would just take GameStop, just hit all the portable games and all that kind of shit, and even steal the systems because it's like, we might just be stuck in our house right now. And which takes me to my next point. I said this the other day. The next pandemic, Rockstar should be federally demanded to, federally forced to release a new Grand theft auto that is a fucking a platform i stand on and every five years a new grand theft auto must come out i don't care how good the online version is and how much they update it i need a whole new story new maps new everything

in fucking rockstar get it done just like that we're back together i forgot about the lego thing because that's the greatest idea i've ever heard the The first ever carousel that Ellie gets to ride on. What a thrill that must be. We had a carousel in our local mall. I remember being a kid, loving riding the carousel with my mom or whatever. So that made me feel good for her. We have a carousel in our local mall, and it is a nice carousel, and the kids fucking love it. Anytime I just got to get them out, again, I go to that little playground spot spot and then it's like two bucks or whatever it is to get on the carousel

they're happy i'm happy and it's like you just need to sneak out wins and just it's kind of like running the clock out on the day with kids anytime you're alone with them and i fucking love it so yeah that that i think if you don't like carousels like fuck legos video games with peanut butter if you don't like carousels you like fuck Legos, video games with peanut butter. If you don't like carousels, you're the asshole. You're the problem. What a simple thing to write. Like kids are you think like so complicated. They cry.

What do you need to get them to stop crying? What is it? It's just a carousel. You put them on like a horse and they spin around for a minute and they love that shit. This carousel actually played just like heaven by the cure which was like really fucking cool cool cure song to play and perfect for this episode it's kind of a romantic song and you see throughout this episode ellie and riley are saying lesbian friends right kind of they like each other man that's well done bob i i just had a completely different thought that came in i don't

know if this is appropriate time to bring it up, but I just thought of this. In 2003, we're in Boston. They never saw the World Series. The world basically ended, and the curse- I thought you were saying maybe 2003 Boston, they're not cool with lesbians. I was like, good point.

Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not going to get the Bostonians angry at this pocket. Cause that's usually, I imagine still one of our bigger demo in barstool right now. Every time Jerry posts a fucking pages blog, it's just right to the top of the fucking traffic.

And I'm like my guy, Thornton just crushing it. So Mac, you like as a Yankees fan, you probably love that. They, the curse. Yeah.

Curse lives on forever. Yeah. Well, let's see. When was it? When did this September? So I guess Aaron Boone's home run doesn't happen, but you have everything else that kind of happened.

You just gutted them every single year. Yeah. Yeah. The pun book, the first heartbreaking moment of the episode for me when we see the origin of the pun book and everything. Oh, that's tough. And when they read the screenshots joke and they're like, what the hell are screenshots?

I don't know. That made me laugh too. That was great. I think earlier in the episode, you see another, um, another book by the same author. Yeah. Willing will living since I was like, hell yeah. One of the lines that really broke my heart after that was when Ellie says you mattered to me first.

She's like, I matter to these people, whatever. She said, you matter to me first. And that reminded me of, I was your, I'm your your friend so was i from civil war going back to that and then they go into a halloween store they play around with these masks they put them on and dance i was thinking there are certain masks that have to be so hard to explain to a kid that didn't know the real world that didn't live in the world pre-apocalypse like some franchises where they're like the fuck is that and you're like shrek oh wait he's an ogre uh he lives in a swamp in mike mike myers not talking donkey no no shit like that they kiss in the store and then the the clicker the infected he's not a clicker yet the infected runs in i mean runs he's he's not a slow

walking dead zombie this guy's got some some speed behind them and they both get bit they both look at their bites gross right those see it was like scabbing up already bleeding on both of them and ellie has this helpless panic of i want to destroy everything because the world's not fucking fair right now and Riley just sits down and accepts her fate they don't show us and I appreciated that because I thought they were going to show us like they hold hands Toy Story style they both fade out and then Ellie wakes up and realizes she's truly the one stuck in this horror show forever because she's immune to the infection. Didn't see it, didn't need to see it.

They cut back to Ellie and Joel, and you realize, okay, Ellie and Riley were together at the end. Ellie's not leaving her next best friend, the next person that she trusted. She's doing anything to save him, and she stitches him up. There was a great look in Pedro Pascal's face where he just showed appreciation with appreciation with a look with a stare and that was the end of the episode like we said not one of the best episodes actually probably the the weakest of the series so far but still an enjoyable watch yeah again i couldn't use something maybe a little before or after if they had timed it up and it was just one of those short episodes And you're like oh filler filler it's like alright

Man we need to tell that story it had To get you know on your screen At some point DLC too did you see that This story was a DLC edition To the regular game that's what it was it was DLC yeah I did see that so it was Something that was in the game but I guess nothing that was super Important but I do think

Because I was right when they I don't know why it was during this one. But I still remember when they when she broke open the quarters and all the quarters came out. I said, oh, shit, this is the time Ellie had to kill someone that she didn't want to talk about. I don't like it all came together. My big dumb brain. I was like, oh, this is going to really, really suck. But my notes here, it said kiss, bite.

And it's like the highest of the highs you do with your mouth the lowest of the lows in this fucking in this fucked up world that they live in and even when she's talking about she's like i belong to a family you don't know how that feels and i was like damn man we're hitting motherfuckers right in the fields right now and there was um there was a line let me see if i can pull it up here i i said it should become the new official motto for um for mets fans here where is it god damn it we could we can be all poetic and lose our minds together i just love that was that was like that was their line of the episode that was very well done and also like things like photo booths i thought that was cool just bringing it back me and large had a little

photo booth and uh we went to see avatar together was very cute photobooths are just a fun ass time man and arcades too just going back again you learn a little bit about the mortal kombat 2 stuff obviously that's how she finds out about melina they're doing fatalities together it was fucking they played that game for a while there's like five minutes this episode them playing mortal kombat and i'm not mad at it i'm a big mortal kombat guy myself but i was looking forward to watching the melina fatality as soon as i saw the character selection screen yeah she went down to melina i was like oh fuck yeah we're gonna get to see it i appreciated i appreciated that they did the fatality they showed the whole melina stuff they did another fatality i believe it was barack or whatever baracka his i think his name is yeah

and um they even like showed how she was doing the moves the right way teacher it was barack or whatever baracka his i think his name is yeah and um they even like showed how she was doing the moves the right way teacher it was like she just hit a button and they did a fatality you have to have if you're a sports movie you need to have your sports make sense same with uh a video game and they fucking obviously it's a video game show and then a video game within the video game show and they did everything by the book and i truly appreciated that as a longtime fan of Mortal Kombat which again What was your Number one arcade

Game ever I know we talked about MK versus Street Fighter Is there anything that trumps Street Fighter When it came to the arcade for you It's and you're gonna like this answer The Simpsons arcade game for me that was Always my number one I loved Simpsons arcade loves time crisis any Of the my number one i loved simpsons arcade loved time

crisis any of the time crisis games where you get an actual gun and you're shooting at the screen ducking under things and stuff like that but yeah and i love pinball i'm actually a big pinball guy i love the baseball pinball machines specifically where the pinball comes out of the middle and you got to swing a bat and it like goes up a ramp into the home run stuff great stuff there was ironically i saw a pinball game at the with the lego land of like a fake mini lego landing yonkers the other day it's not like the big theme park and it had a little pinball it was mets versus yankees and you could like get it's his first single double out and all that kind of stuff yeah i'm a big i was a big pinball guy

too you know like the street fighter game was actually one of the games i liked in it but i i could always fuck with pinball uh forever i think street fighter was my game but like you said simpsons x-men and turtles in time yeah the those are the kind of side swiper yeah yep the four-man game nba jam was always like on the list but think about arcade games they were so fucking hard man when you had to play the computer you maybe get one two stages in in terms of like nba jam or like you know i still remember when i beat x-men it was like one of the greatest days of my life i hopped in probably with like 20 minutes of the game left and some fucking kid who's probably twice my age carried us to the end and i was like oh my god i got to see the ending of that game so uh that's the best too when you could get an older kid to carry you and you're just along for the ride oh and video games and that's not exclusive to arcade games later on for me xbox live it was the same thing like i wanted someone

to carry me through halo on the legendary difficulty and stuff like that but yeah man arcades are the best and as soon as they went into the arcade in this episode i was thrilled to see one but i knew i was like that's too much fucking noise yeah that's a lot of this is not safe what are we like this is just that one person with common sense for 2023 be like what are you guys doing here i understand you're nervous you don't have nerves anymore because you've just lived probably on edge for your entire lives but what the fuck are we doing here also it has to be said i never realized it as a kid but as i've gotten older i've really learned to appreciate a good skeeball skeeball is just oh yeah oh yeah just one of the best one of the best a tried and true game and i think more bars should have skeeball on the back

there's a couple bars in the city that have skeeball and that's just a no-brainer actually bringing this back i will say the i remember one bad memory was skeeball i was at my local arcade and i remember an older kid i was throwing skeeballs and he would catch them and put them in like the like the 500 or the 1000 and i didn't like that i was trying to play my game and he was trying to get me tickets or whatever was going on and i appreciate i should have again as i said i appreciate the older kid helping me but i don't you got to stay within the rules and there's yeah and then the last thing i'll end with my arcade ran on this being young going to a hotel with your parents and going on a search for the game room and the pool was one of the highlights every time we would go on a trip and if they had a game room and if they had like turtles in time or

whatever i still remember we went to killingtonton skiing and they had, I believe, Ninja Turtles and X-Men. And it was just like, fuck yes. And there was a, what was it? WWF Stars? Superstars? Superstars, yes. Yes. They had that too. I can still smell the game room in my mind. So man, game rooms are the best. Arcades are the best. I hope that, I would love to see that make a comeback. Anytime you're

at like a bar, you have a skeeball in the back or there's like a barcade and they have a bunch of different games. You will get my business over any of the any of the other bars in the area. A hundred percent of the time. Agreed. I love barcades. That's the one thing that, like I said, I'm not a big drinker.

We said early on in this episode. But if I go to a barcade, I'll get a nice vodka, ginger ale, something like that. Go back, find the Star Wars game and just go to town on the Death Star. Blow that shit up. Let's just Clem. Our bar, you know, we're going to do for our bar bottle shots and arcade games. Just give a person. We could open a bar. Mom's basement.

My mom's basement. People would come fun games. We would have fucking TVs constantly playing the original trilogy or some shit. Like we would we would run a fun bar, Clem. In our retirement. That's what we'll do. Yes. Every Sunday night, we're going to havebo sunday night show of the week right because that's always gonna be the biggest show all right i know we both know we know a few guys who just became rich but we know a guy who's come in this basement a few times and he infamously

wanted to open his own bowling alley with coconuts as the balls, you know, it was KFC's thing. Kevin, we have a pitch for you. We're going to take that idea and just let us handle the arcade part of it. And the bar part of it, you could do everything else you like. I always love that idea. I always wanted to, um, my retirement plan was always to like do a mini golf course.

I always think I'd love to be the old guy giving out the thing, you know, having fun with the kids and they give them the ball and the club. But I think we can make this work. The bar my mom's basement i think so too i think that's a great idea if you made it to the end of this last of us recap make sure you leave a comment like the video on youtube as well and if you're listening on the podcast feed stay tuned for some mandalorian talk i can't wait to talk about the mandalorian and get into season three because next week we're going to be in disney and star wars land ourselves it's going to feel like we're in season three
