Hello, and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3C and Barstool Sports, and welcome to the Disney Boys edition of My Mom's Basement.
It's Robbie and Clem. We're not only going to recap our trip to Galaxy's Edge and Disney today, but we're also going to talk about the Mandalorian Chapter chapter 18 the minds of mandalore which oh my god that's not on the back burner well it kind of is
while we talk about disney but it doesn't deserve to be there because it was tremendous clem how we
feeling people were hyped after their mando and people were hyped for the disney boys the disney's
boys had a great time i don't know if you guys could hear in the voices or see it on the youtube
got two weathered folks podcasting right now.
We're hurting right now.
We're hurting bad guys.
Two days, man.
One day at Disney in the parks.
One day we did a Universal.
Just me and Robbie.
We became the Springfield Boys for a little.
Hit up some Hogwarts, Jurassic Park.
We dabbled in the closest thing you'll get to Marvel Land In Universal
But we're both
Feeling it right now so you guys
I can hear it on your voice for sure
I just feel like
Dave says like a noodle
That's how I feel today
We're in noodle brand
I'll try to avoid us making any sharp left turns
And just rambling about nonsense
But I can feel that could be the issue
And I was also
told by my wife like a week
ago. My wife
like she's like, oh yeah, by the way, when
you come back from Disney,
both kids are going to be off from school
that day. So you're going to have them. So they're upstairs.
We might have an AJ appearance on the podcast
as we sometimes do when his
iPad stops leeching his brain
cells from him.
So we're hurting, but we had an absolute fantastic time.
I hope the video really follows through just how fun it was.
And it was a blast, man.
It was everything I hoped and then some, right?
Absolutely.
Shout out, Dave.
Big shout out to Dave for funding the whole trip and everything. And two other shout outs I want to make right off the front about the Disney trip itself.
One, Aussie Dave, our VIP tour guide.
This guy was the absolute man.
I think Ken Jack said he was like an encyclopedia of Disney knowledge, and he was correct about that.
He had fun facts about every ride, telling us how much the animatronics cost, telling us when they put the ride in, when they're going to take it out, when they're going to replace it, this, that, the next thing.
Awesome, awesome dude. I also wanted to shout out Austin. Like a lot of people that watch the videos didn't see Austin in the videos because he was taking all
of them. And what people didn't even realize a lot of the time he's taking two videos on two
phones, like a vertical for social, a horizontal for the video. And he was also having a blast.
I tried to keep checking in with him. Like, dude, are you having fun? Like, is this awesome for you too?
And every time he's like, yeah, dude, I'm in fucking Disney right now.
This is amazing.
He was a Star Wars guy too.
So he was enjoying all the Galaxy's Edge stuff.
Those two, I was like unspoken heroes of the day.
Well, for now, unspoken.
When the video comes out, I think Aussie Dave's going to steal the show.
Oh, a thousand percent.
Aussie Dave was incredible.
You said he did all that stuff. G us the fun facts, kept it loose.
And we do it with an Australian accent.
It makes it like 50% better or more fun,
or you're just kind of just in the mode.
So that was great right off the jump.
And then the fact Aussie Dave, it's like he has a nickname right off the bat.
Yeah.
And Austin is just –
And, you know, I think it's a lot of Austin's life is he has to be Dave's like guy.
So he's behind the camera a lot.
But he is like the perfect just vibes guy.
He's just there.
He's cool.
He's happy.
And when you're just BSing shooting the shit when the cameras are off or whatever, he's just one of the boys, one of the fellas.
So I'm a big Austin fan.
And I haven't really got to see him that much other than when I stop in the office to say a word or two.
So that was a great time.
And remember, this podcast is brought to you by 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 don't want that in the back of your mind,

Aussie Dave.
So I imagine, so the VIP tour, for people who don't know about it,
it's like $750 an hour to have a VIP tour guide take you around.
Minimum seven hours, by the way.
Minimum seven hours.
So you're looking at five grand right off the jump, right?
They take you to whatever parks you want to go to.
If you want to go to one park, you want to go to all four parks.
They can take you wherever you want.
They'll pick you up at your hotel, drive you to everywhere.
And you kind of like hit the guts of Disney to get to places.
Yeah, you don't go through the front main gate.
And the funny thing is about our boy, Aussie Dave,
is that he had never really heard of poor
dave portnoy barstool i never heard of boss stool you know he's trying i'm gonna have to work on my
aussie accent yeah in case i try to impersonate him here uh but i think a few of the other people
in his like vip tour guides after he had started was like dude you got this guy dave portnoy and i
could see dave as the day went on aussie dave Dave was growing to realize that Dave Portnoy has a draw on people.
So an absolute blast.
And I have a shout out.
I got gifted a tour for my trip in a few weeks.
And I have a tour.
I get to book a tour.
And I'm like, can I book O.C. Dave?
Because he was such a goddamn delight.
I think he's going to be the absolute star of this video.
Because that was the other thing. So he didn't really really know about he didn't know anything about barstool
if we had like a stoolie tour guide i think there might we could add also like a ko barstool tour
guy that hates bars yeah that's that's definitely i guarantee there's probably one of them somewhere
in the mix of the tour guides but then there could be like a big barstool fan that would just
let dave walk all over them you know because d has a brand Aussie Dave didn't give a shit
So they were giving it back and forth
It was a lot of fun
It was a great dynamic
It was so good the two Daves
And then you have Jeff D'Lo
And the D stands for Disney
The D stands for Disney Dictator
Depending who you talk to
He's like his own self tour guide
He had a laminated sheet Of like a playlist of every single ride and
attraction. We were going to hit color coordinated, no less ready to rock.
As we have a VIP tour guide, who's going to give us everything.
So it was one of the most incredible dynamics.
And then you have the basement boys lugging themselves around and our guy
Ken Jack, who by the the way has Never been to Florida
Let alone Disney World in his entire
Life so he just thinks Disney World
Is free you have
A guy taking you everywhere you don't
Wait on lines and it's it's like
The fakest version of Disney
You can get but also like the most purest
I know it really is like it
We all said this is going to kind of ruin Disney
For us because this is the best way we could possibly do Disney, especially when Dave Portnoy started getting recognized everywhere.
He was getting recognized more than Mickey Mouse in that park.
Aussie Dave started making calls and being like, can I take him through the back entrance on this park?
Can I take him through the back on this park?
I was like, this is insane.
I'm never going to be able to experience Disney like this again.
But again, shout out, Dave.
And if you're not familiar, I assume most people are familiar with like how the trip came about because we've talked
about it a lot on the podcast if you're like why did you guys all go to disney with with your boss
it's a fair question fair question yes uh dave went to disney last year with sylvana his girlfriend
and had the intention of going to star wars land if you're not familiar dave is a star wars fan he
really enjoys the mandalorian the sequels he loves so he was like i'm gonna go to star Wars land. If you're not familiar, Dave is a star Wars fan. He really enjoys the Mandalorian, the sequels he loves. So he was like, I'm going to go to star Wars land. It's going to
be awesome. He got the R2D2, like Mickey hat and everything got a custom star Wars shirt or
whatever. And he just missed it entirely. He went on star tours, the ride that's been there since
the nineties. He thought it was awesome. And then he left. And I was like, how was the millennium
Falcon? He was like, Oh, they didn't have a millennium falcon in the park i was like that's an issue because it's at the entrance to
the park and he realized he just missed out on it so he decided i gotta go back and i gotta bring
the nerds with me so the whole crew was me clem dave uh ken jack jeff and austin the six of us
going through disney together and let's get right into it let's talk about
disney i'm gonna address it right now because i know there's the people who think that certain
people were left off for certain reasons that was the original crew that like was just spit out and
chaps was like in there too i don't know how chaps got in there chaps is i think like as like
roasted star wars fans in the past chaps wasn't in there and then like so it was like our core crew
in 2022 and no one said anything
Like hey let's get this person let's get that person
And then once again
Yeah like making sure
People don't get on the trip
The more the merrier in my mind
I thought it was an absolute blast and
So if anyone was
Like the person who got snubbed it honestly was Chaps
Because he was in the group Dave said his name on the
Rundown Dave brain Chaps His name rattles in dave's brain and sometimes it just
comes out like that time he made him the ufc guys chaps how come you're not the ufc guy chaps it was
new it was like uh i guess i can start blogging he's like how did you not blog that fight last
night so taps is always in the brain and so by by somehow some way uh these were the these were
the disney boys and we all got blessed with the trip that we're about to go on right now.
And we conquered Disney.
So we're going to talk about Disney.
We'll spend maybe 20 minutes, half hour on it, and then we'll go on to Mando.
I'll put it in the description below.
If you're on the podcast feed, I'll put that in the description as well.
If you just want to skip to the Mando discussion, I get it.
We're going to put out a Disney boys video. So you could wait for that if you want.
So I'll skip to that or I'll put that.
So you could skip to it.
You hear me?
I'm all noodley this morning.
I'm noodley.
We're everything.
Yeah.
Everything.
There's a lot of stuff sandwiched in our brains.
It is like, like a devil dog.
Um, we meet up with Aussie Dave in the lobby at seven 40.
That was our call time, which was early.
Yeah. That was from Jeff, not from Aussie Dave. That lobby at 740. That was our call time, which was early. Yeah,
that was from Jeff,
not from Aussie Dave.
That was from Jeff dictator low.
And we drive over to Hollywood studios.
Star Wars was the first stop on our tour.
That was the main attraction.
Basically.
You can see him wearing my new star Wars jacket.
Thank you.
Uncle Dave for buying me this one as well.
It was like $150 jacket.
It's actually like,
Oh,
nice material too.
It's heavy jacket.
Thank you,
Dave,
for that one.
I missed, I missed all the dressing up thank you dave for that one i missed i
missed all the the dressing up i i missed out on that one i was gonna get a helmet and then we had
three things to do and then i missed out on it yeah that it became a quick like okay we might
be able to get a lightsaber reservation let's go so we walk in through the marketplace the
marketplace in star wars land is the first thing that like blew me away because I was like, this
is a scene straight out of the Mandalorian. And when we walked in, it was so early that the park
was still pretty empty. I think the only people that were allowed in were like the Disney resorts
people at that point. And shops were like opening and the employees are all in their Batuu garb.
It feels like you're on a different planet because you literally can't see the park
once you're in there and by the way when we walked into star wars land we all said all right people
gave dave a lot of shit for missing it but it looks like an exit to the park that would bring
you to a parking garage yeah it there's no sign of saying hey star wars this way and it's just a big
um gray bridge and you know what it kind of looks like?
And I could be wrong, but it looks like the bridge where you go in Roger Rabbit and you go under the bridge.
And then it leads you to Toontown on the other side.
And it might have been that old bridge because I think Toontown was in Hollywood Studios once upon a time.
It is so nondescript.
And I can completely.
And it's not like all right there's
another part of the park over there it does it's all dark it does look like it could be a parking
garage or like a or just nothing just a place where people like shoot up if disney was like
new york city right the place where people shoot up in disney um we walk in through the marketplace
looks awesome we see they have like a pod racer engine like roasting a giant porg in through the marketplace. Looks awesome. We see they have like a pod racer engine, like roasting a giant porg in the marketplace and stuff.
And then we get to the main area where you see the life-size Millennium Falcon.
And as lifelong Star Wars fans, lifelong Falcon fans, Clem has called the Falcon one of his favorite characters in Star Wars.
Number two.
It was chills instantly.
It was like, oh, my, just chills instantly it was like oh my just walking
around it like looking into the cockpit everything like that we get to ride the falcon right away
that was the first ride of the day smugglers run me and dave are the pilots clem and uh austin are
the engineers and then jeff d lowe and ken jack are the gunners the six of us in the cockpit like
we were going on a friggin
trench run or something stealing coaxium from the first order and everything amazing rod this was
like it's a ride mixed with an experience because you get to walk onto the falcon see the the
table and everything mixed with an arcade game because you're literally like controlling it
you have to be hitting buttons flipping switches like switches like Luke Skywalker's doing in the back.
Like while Hans piloting,
this was amazing.
What a way to start the trip for us in the cockpit of the Falcon.
I mean,
it's like,
Hey,
the first thing you're going to do is cross off like the biggest bucket list
thing that you never thought would be possible in terms of riding in the
Millennium Falcon and like doing stuff.
Cause I've never been like, Oh, I'd love to go on the Millennium Falcon cause it's in
a galaxy far, far away.
And it was a long time ago.
So God knows what the Falcon looks like these days.
And the fact we just got to do that right off the bat as my voice crackles nonstop during
this.
Speaking of what the Falcon looks like these days, they're going to need to do a lot of
repairs on the Falcon after we were done with it because, oh my God, we were crashing into everything left and right. There was a video Jeff took where you hear Dave,
like, Oh, I'm out of control. And I love Dave blaming you. He's like, yeah, I know he kept,
yeah, he kept blaming me. I was like, I'm trying, I'm trying. Dave was left and right. I was up and
down. And I got to say, it was difficult. Like you would pull up, but it wouldn't pull up right
away. So you would have to like, kind of time it. that was fun jeff was um there's a little button that you
used to shoot the lasers and jeff was like the dave video the um finger finger king from avn
he's just i'm like jeff d low he keeps he leaves him happy when he's done with him and i was back
there the engineer is just straight up Just like they ran out of like,
well,
we don't really have anything good to have the other two people.
So just let them be the engineer.
I hit.
Oh,
every time a button started flashing,
I go press the button.
Wait,
which happened a lot.
Cause we ran into a lot.
And I'll tell you,
we'll say this engineer was the MVP of the trip.
I'm just going to say,
I,
I handle my business better than anyone saying that their business.
I mean,
you've seen the movies.
If the hyperdrive starts messing up, you were the one in charge of that.
You're an engineer.
Get on it.
And there's my favorite guy.
My guy R2.
He goes in, fucking changing the hyperdrive, fixing everything up.
I would have loved if the hyperdrive got disconnected again because that is like such a Star Wars trope.
Someone told me afterwards like there's an Easter egg that you could unlock Chewie as your co-pilot in that somehow.
I was like, oh, that seems cool.
We definitely didn't unlock anything.
Because, again, we made our way through, but by the skin of our teeth.
It was crashing into this, that, the next thing.
The best thing is you just blame the Falcon.
You're like, ah, the Falcon is a hunk of junk.
It does what it can do.
We go by the costumes, as you can see.
I'm wearing this
jacket it's got like tie fighter x'd out here i might not keep it on for the whole podcast because
like i said it's heavy and then we go to uga's cantina for some fuzzy tauntauns they've got a
bloody rancor their version of a bloody mary i think we try to bespin fizz or jeff d low and
ken jack tried it and you and ken jack you got treated
like droids they didn't let you in at first we lost you guys i'm like oh we're going in with
her group and they're like what's the name of your group i'm like jeff low and i see on her
computer it says jeff low like it's all there and i'm just like she's just keeping us and
there's almost felt like uh we don't serve their kind here and i'm like the fuck the fuck's going
on so got a little taste of what it's like to be uh p.o and r2 and i did not like it one iota and now we're in the cantina at 9 a.m and we order
a round of fuzzy tauntauns which is a vodka based drink that makes your face numb your face and mouth
like tingles gets a little numb it's like a citrusy very sweet drink which is good for me
because i'm a bit of a puss with the drinks. You know, I'm always like, give me the fruitiest, girliest drink possible and that'll be okay with me.
Fun experience in the cantina, though.
There's the video of us like clubbing in the cantina.
DJ Rex is playing like remixes of the cantina theme.
They had some snacks.
I don't think we ordered any snacks.
We saw the people next to us were ordering like cool drinks as well.
All the drinks looked straight out of Star Wars.
And the cantina itself, like cool drinks as well. All the drinks looked straight out of Star Wars and the cantina itself.
Like it is fully immersive.
Even at 9 a.m.
It's like, all right, we're in a galaxy far, far away right now.
We're in a movie.
Yeah.
There's no TV with like SportsCenter on.
Like you are in the galaxy hardcore.
And if you just like woke up and were there, you'd feel like you were in the movie.
So that was like the waiters, the bartenders coming over being like, remember, these aren't
meant for human consumption. Like that was like, I loved all. I was like, like remember these aren't meant for human consumption like that was like i loved all i was like this is
awesome we're in the world we're in batu um we build lightsabers that was the next thing we did
the building lightsaber experience if you can get a reservation for it i think is so
worth it and you could only get two you're and you're ready to drop 250 tell them that
i think yeah i think it's like 250 a lightsaber or something like that dave paid for it thank you dave once again we could
only get two reservations for the lightsaber thing because it is like a coveted thing people get it
early so we arranged it where me and dave built the lightsabers but i was like all right we're
gonna make this a basement boy lightsaber and me and clem picked some of the pieces together i
actually have it here to show on youtube for everyone yeah let's go check out this saber
that clem and i built we built it with the peace and prosperity parts because i was like come on
we're peace and love guys yes we had a switch here like kind of like the luke skywalker anakin saber
and i accidentally turned that on a baggage claim through the carrying case. And it was just, you know, it makes this noise.
And everyone at baggage claim was just like, oh my God, that's hysterical.
I was like looking for the off switch through the bag.
Amazing experience.
They put all the pieces in front of you.
You have like a leader that's giving a whole speech that lines up with the John Williams score in the room.
The lights are going off.
You get to pick your kyber crystal.
The kyber crystal you put in your lightsaber actually makes it turn that color.
Like if you go to the store, you could buy a different one.
I could have bought a different one, put it in there, and it would have made my lightsaber a different color, which I think is so cool.
Dave, we discussed on the podcast weeks ago, maybe months ago, what color he would pick.
Since he picked an imperial costume just because he
thought that was funny he was like i gotta do red i just have to do a red saber he made like the
power saber and he also like got into it with the little kid next to him i'm sure it'll be in the
video the saber like master builder came over to dave and this little kid he's like oh who's the
master and who's the apprentice and the kid right away was like i'm the master and he's the master and who's the apprentice? And the kid right away was like, I'm the master and he's the apprentice. And Dave was like,
absolutely not.
No,
you're 12.
I'm 40.
No,
absolutely not.
And they started arguing during it.
Really,
really cool though.
The,
the lightsaber building room,
another thing where it's a frigging experience.
And I've noticed they do this at star Wars land in a lot of places at
Disney.
They could have this with a billion people.
It wouldn't be the same thing.
So it is very small.
They keep the group small.
So it does feel so personal.
So that was.
I talked to all of us.
Yeah.
Like the leader would come over while you're building it and be like, he actually said
to me like, oh, why did you pick the green kyber crystal?
And I said, I already have a blue one.
I rolled my sleeve up, showed him the tattoo.
He was like, good line, man. Good line. Yeah. Well yeah well done sir he didn't know what he was getting into with that
you have to be careful you come at star wars nerds they're gonna come at you 10 times harder
it i have to say this i don't want to come across weird he kind of had gave me the vibes of a cult
leader though which some people would say the jedi is a cult well yeah absolutely and aussie dave by
the way speaking of like star wars nerds aussie dave
knew his shit top to bottom on star wars and is actually like a host on many events at star wars
celebration like when they do the dj is playing before panels and stuff he's helping hype the
crowd up he was telling us oh you see the animatronic like uh it was lieutenant beck on
rise of the resistance it looks like admiral akbar He was like, that's done by the voice of Obi-Wan on the clone wars.
I was like,
Aussie Dave knows his shit.
Those are the fun facts.
I need Aussie Dave.
I love that.
We got a Star Wars guy.
That was so fucking clutch.
Cause this trip was needed that around Star Wars.
And even Jeff was like,
I remember when I was at Star Wars celebration,
the DJ was all strength.
Cause one of those is it just sticks out in your brain.
And I showed him the gif of you as a slave lay on me as job he's like oh yeah i remember
the slave lay guy who was on the floor so a lot of really fun stuff awesome so we go and meet mando
aussie dave also hooked that up he was like i know when mando's coming out of the room or whatever
he's like we got three to four minutes till he's out intimidating clem i don't get starstruck often
when you see mando and grogu coming out and the Grogu puppet is literally like looking at you it's moving around it's not just like a stuffed animal
cooing making noises Mando said to Dave you look nervous and Dave was like I am nervous
just a just a delight we got a quick picture with him and we moved on to uh rise of the resistance
that was a tough look for Dave. Dressed as an Imperial.
Or whatever you want to call it.
The First Order.
When I said Dave.
What kind of lightsaber are you going to build?
He's like I'm a good guy guy.
I like the good guys.
I root for them.
The outfit played well.
People were saying he looked like he could have been involved with the H-Man.
It was a little.
The South in the Civil War.
But he pulled it off. I have to say
he wore it well. The hat too.
We tried to tell him, don't worry,
you're just a spy.
We tried to make him feel better about it.
We said, well, Luke and Han are wearing the Stormtrooper
outfits in A New Hope. That's just the way it goes
in this. You always just have to dress up like an Imperial
and it always works on them. But then he went full dark side and built a dark
lightsaber so i can't do anything about that but then he flipped again and i think it was on rise
of the resistance he was like i can't wear this on this ride so he took it off and gave it to
aussie dave he's like i gotta go into this as a rebel here aussie dave is like the mom of the
group he has 18 different bags in his hand so everyone's shit and then just throw him in the
car another perk of the vip tour oh my god that. And then they'll just throw them in the car. Another perk of the VIP tour.
Oh my God.
That was being able to buy stuff,
throw it in the car and then just not have to worry about carrying it
around.
That is almost worth the VIP tour.
Yeah.
We do rise of the resistance.
Now this is kind of the main attraction at star Wars land.
It's like a 15,
20 minute ride.
And it's not just a ride.
Aussie Dave really set it up to,
he goes,
it's an experience
that's the other thing about aussie dave one second he'll be talking like we're boys we're
best friends we've known each other for years and then he'll be like all right let me set the scene
we're between episodes seven and eight there are eight and nine snoke has been killed so there's
a power vacuum building in the gal and he's like literally like putting you into it gives you chills
you're like i'm ready to save the galaxy with you aussie dave rise of the resistance is so fucking cool this is the perfect
ride for me as well because it's not a thrill ride really it's more of like like i said the
experience i keep using that word it's kind of like a cliche but you go in you get like a mission
you see a bb-8 animatronic you see a Rey hologram that looks awesome.
Like it looks like a legitimate Star Wars hologram talking to you.
It's Daisy Ridley too.
It's not like a animatronic or anything like that.
She really did the voice acting and the actual acting for it.
And then you get brought onto this ship that gets sucked in by their first order.
I'm sure everyone has seen the like 20 stormtrooper
lineup that you get put out onto and then you get like interrogated where these disney employees
are like looking at you they're like rebel scum keep your hands and feet inside the ride and
you're like talking to me like i'm a rebel here and then you get on this little droid cart
contraption being uh driven by an astromech droid and like the resistance is
trying to save you it was so fucking cool just going through this imperial or i guess first
order star destroyer seeing atat factories seeing the tie fighters getting shot at you were like oh
i got hit i'm hit i'm hit it was and then there's a drop at the end which none of us saw coming
and the video of i got it
on video our voices in it someone was like you guys sound like a bunch of little little school
girls in this video we're like ah i loved rise of the resistance and dave he liked it but he was
also like i'm telling you guys star tours later is going to be just as good and aussie dave goes
are you mad man he's it's not even the same
what yeah he hit us with the mincey what did you love rise of the resistance as much as i did
oh yeah yeah i loved it i so i was told it's like a 15 minute ride and i'm thinking okay this is
going to be like a long wild ride that's something i've never experienced in like any park and like
you said it's not just 15 minutes of riding there it's like you're going things you're it but it is very
very cool so all things considered it might have been my favorite experience of the entire trip
because there's a lot of stuff i've never been on before i've been on a lot of stuff you know
from when i was younger this was the but i think the best one that we got to do. And it lived up to the hype.
Because people who aren't even Star Wars fans going into this were like,
dude, you are going to go crazy for a ride.
And it's like, get there early.
I'm like, well, we have a tour guide, thank God.
But for people that don't, however you have to do,
Lightning Lane Genie Plus, pay $5,000 for a VIP tour, get there and enjoy it.
It's awesome.
It's worth it.
So that was kind of the main event of Star Wars Land land that was the last thing we did in galaxy's edge itself
again everything about galaxy's edge i thought was awesome i could have spent the whole day
in that park just walking in circles because i loved the immersiveness of it that was the best
part was when jeff said uh all right we're gonna um we're gonna we'll be done with gal we'll be
done with stars like 11 o'clock latest and you're like uh i don't want'll be done with 11 o'clock latest
And you're like I don't want to be done
With 11 o'clock latest
I was like you guys go do Slinky or whatever
I'll be in part two the whole day
Two things I have to say here
One we fucked up a couple things
One we didn't have the blue milk
We got the fuzzy
Tauntaun and I almost asked the waitress
To bring over blue milk just to try it But I was like oh we're gonna probably at three different places
and i figure everything's gonna be serving everything and i know a lot of people say
the thing is the ron ton wrap they say get that it's like a pork kind of ronto wrap i think yeah
i'm gonna thing is i'm going back so i will try both yeah you gotta you gotta come back to the
basement with your reviews i'm gonna have to get some blue milk and like smuggle it back on the airplane to get my brother robbie his uh
his his blue milk uh and it was just one of those things where our brains were so shot because
i'd look at my phone and it would say 9 30 and it felt like i was in like la and it was really
12 30 new york time like every you're like checking twitter here and there and everyone's
just getting their day started i'm like dude i've been fucking going hard for like three hours.
I'm buzzed.
Yeah, exactly.
And we good work.
Got a lot of people.
We were into the gift shops.
Yeah.
Jeff got the dark saber.
Ken Jack got Qui-Gon's lightsaber.
I looked in the corner of my eye and there was an action figure Of fucking Lobot
Who is my guy when it comes to like
The obscure characters
And there wasn't like
A whole bunch of Lobot figures
It was just one happened to be in the front of it
I was like that is a sign from the Disney gods
The force gods whatever you want to say
That I had to buy a Lobot
It was like I was meant to be there so I bought that
I thought Dave saw
There was a Darth Vader mask
Like melted post fire
That Kylo talks to
And he's like oh that's fire
And I was like are we about to see
Post pen deal Dave just go and buy a fucking Darth Vader mask
For 500 bucks
550
I think it was
But that would have been an all time office centerpiece
You walk into Dave's office.
That's pretty intimidating.
And then everyone knows what I had to buy, right?
I mean.
Had to do it.
I might be predictable, but you had to do it to him.
Hey, hey.
Bad baby.
Good Robbie.
Bad baby.
Bad baby.
Bad baby.
Bad baby.
Bad baby.
Bad baby.
Ready?
Hey!
Light up visor. Come 60 bucks too not not too bad babu frick is like the unofficial mascot of new jersey in the star wars universe he is a little italian guy our tour guide i think aussie
davy was like babu frick he's great right what do you what like what do you like about him i was
like what's not to like he's a fat italian guy who fixes droids like he's the best. So that was Star Wars land as a whole.
We did do Star Tours, too.
Before we get to that, we did Toy Story Land real quick.
We did Slinky Coaster, which Dave told us he was going to hate.
And he did hate.
I had fun on that, but it was the first sign of the day that I started to feel motion sickness.
Right afterwards, I was like, oh, maybe I'm not going to be good with roller coasters today.
And that was a definitely foreshadowing moment for the day.
Yeah.
So Dave was very much.
Dave had the disgust in his voice for slinky dog that he has for like John
Skipper.
He has for,
you know,
just all the enemies of ESPN.
I wouldn't be surprised.
There was an ace of spades bottle with slinky dog's name on it.
He's like that motherfucker slinky dog. He's like, I went to him. I thought it was surprised if there was an Ace of Spades bottle with Slinky Dog's name on it. He's like, that motherfucker Slinky Dog.
He's like, I went to him. I thought he was going to be
this nice little ride, and he's
fast. He's sneaky fast.
I never knew this. And I'm like, man, Dave's really pissed.
And this is how it all played out. Dave's
like, I'm not a rollercoaster guy. And then you say, you're
not a rollercoaster guy. And I am
not a rollercoaster guy. But there's a few
like Thundermount I love. So I'm like,
I was like, I'm kind of a rollercoaster guy. And when i came here in my early 20s i actually like got better with
roller coaster so i'm like i'll do whatever guys like we're here and dave i could like usually
what the boss man says goes right and that just kind of goes with dave and i think for the most
part it's for the right reasons well jeff d lowe had like we have to go to slinky dog it was like the most important thing
in the world them jeff d let his impressions down i said i was down you bullied him rob it's on video
i did you boys on video i did bully him because he was like i've already done slinky dog and i
know i hate it but i was like bro you haven't done it with the boys though we're on a boys trip you
can't just be the one boy to sit out of this and then i of course later on in the day i was like i'll hold your bags while you go on the ride guys
so you thought it was a mistake looking back now it's i thought it was fun though like while we
were on the ride i was having a blast i was like oh my god maybe i am going to become a roller
coaster guy i was so wrong about that the only reason i ride for kids to be fair yeah and then
to be honest we're not dealing with some crazy yeah it's not the the scream machine like in the 90s that was like this
wild thing wild thing but it i wouldn't say it threw the vibes off but it's just we we started
losing people at that point you know there was times where we limited the oregon trail it was
like someone's leg is broken they might have to stay behind we lost a couple of oxen and then i
was like this is just gonna be the longest trip ever because we can't get there where we want to go because we just don't have enough oxen
and that's where it started to unwind uh i guess i guess we had done we ended up skipping tower
of terror i guess if we had done that maybe that would have kept everything good but dave said it
himself even i think before the ride he was gassed man it was a lot of work that's why like just
walking around these parks man it takes a lot out work that's why like just walking around these parks man it takes
a lot out of you even when you get like the shortcuts and all the ways that aussie dave took
us we're both hurting right now you can hear it in our voices my dogs have been barking for fucking
48 hours straight that's my biggest takeaway is when i go with my family i'm not gonna have a
tour guide and five adults who are gonna listen i'm gonna be chasing after aj you're gonna be
waiting on longer lines because you're not gonna have the tour guide every single day it's going to be it's
a disney is a goddamn workout and when you're a blogger boy you sure as shit ain't used to
work walking like he's like you know acres upon acres every goddamn day miles upon miles
no not in the florida heat either especially when we're like let's put on jackets to look
like star wars characters let's put on the heaviest jackets they sell yeah um we did woody's i don't remember the real name midway i think it's midway midway
mania or something like that which i wanted to do the buzz lightyear rod where you shoot and it's
like you shoot zerg targets and stuff yeah and jeff was like that one stinks let's do the new
woody one i was like all right jeff i'll listen to you jeff disney low the woody one buzz is in
magic kingdom to be fair so it's a different oh different part all right fair enough jeff we do this one he didn't
prepare us for this is five minutes of revving up a lawnmower you have to shoot by pulling a string
back so we're all like ah ah it looked probably looked like we were all jerking off in these like
if you looked at us from the back we're're all like, ah, really, really fun though.
Like this was another one.
It's like the buzz ride where it's just a bunch of targets and you're shooting them.
Another one that's 3D though.
And I was like looking back, oh, we did this right before, you know, we did another, we
did Mickey and Minnie's runaway rail car.
I think it was called super tame ride and actually awesome in terms of like puts you
in that Disney mood.
Cause you get all the old school Disney characters characters the steamboat willie characters the old school looking disney and
uh minnie and mickey pluto goofy that one is fun i would recommend the runaway i think it was called
runaway rail car yeah that was a good one it was i think it opened nine days before the entire like
world shut down too for in the pandemic yeah it was just one of those things that they've probably
been waiting for for so long great kids ride um and just something if you just want to get
out of the heat again it does its job and then we do star tours so for star tours one of the best
parts is you all sit down and then it says there's a rebel spy on board that the empire is after and
they put them on screen for us it was just ken jack there's like a shady looking picture of ken
jack with a hat and glasses and then the first scene we get is darth vader so we're like
oh fuck yeah we're getting original trilogy star tours because you get different scenes and stuff
and vader comes down and he's like i need that rebel spy clem immediately i think was so
intimidated that he's like i'll give him up i'll give him up i heard him next to me he's like you
can take him i ain't getting fucking killed by Darth Vader for Ken Jack.
No offense.
Robbie, you're my guy, too.
I don't know if I'm going to kill my Vader for you.
I saw what they did in Andor to, what was her name, Bubba Vix, right?
Oh, yeah.
They tortured the shit out of her.
I don't know what kind of shit.
That was in the Andor time.
So if we're dealing with Vader, I'm not messing with Darth Vader, Ken.
You take Portnoy, I lose a living if you lose Portnoy. time so if we're dealing with there i'm not messing with darth vader ken the boy like you
take portnoy i lose a living if you lose port yeah ken jack we get him and then we get away
i'll trade ken jack and i love ken jack but it's just a fucking truth and star tours if you've
never done it is it's the older ride so it's you sit in like a pod or a ship quote-unquote ship
and you just kind of watch a screen while the whole pod moves
the 3d glasses having that on i loved star tours i thought it was so much fun we opened with darth
fader we went to hoth it's like empire strikes back we're going through the whole snowy system
and then we went straight to revenge of the sith which we were all like that's not canon you can't
go back in time like that but all of it was so cool it made me throw up in my mouth
because of the 3d i had to like take the 3d glasses off at the end i told you i couldn't
even see avatar 2 in 3d because i was so afraid of the motion sickness and then yeah i mean we'll
get to guardians next so i think slinky dog put you on the road i think star tours jostled you
and that is what got us there but when
the guy throws up in his mouth during the ride that's how you know he's in a bad spot and it's
not like when if you feel like you're gonna throw up it doesn't just go away in a minute or so you
know like you have to readjust yourself we were looking for some drama mean stuff like that i
remember you were about to go puke and you thought it was the garbage pail but it was the disposal
bin for the 3D glasses.
And Austin Diggs was like, not in there, Robbie.
That would have been bad.
That would have been very bad.
But it was just one of those things that I could see you just weren't right from that point on.
But at the same point, you were thinking you were going to be all right because you're like, oh, I'll just wait it out a bit.
And here's where Jeff D'Lo tried to kill me.
Is I said, I'll wait it out a bit. You guys are allff d lowe tried to kill me is i said i'll wait it out a bit you guys are all going
on tower of terror next you're not a big drop ride guy so you said oh i'll sit this one out with you
i wasn't really looking forward to doing drop rides anyway i think you and me both saying we're
not interested in tower of terror in jeff's mind was like oh then we'll do something else so he
said the next thing we'll do is now guardians i I was like, oh, fuck, I can't skip out on Guardians
because I know listeners of the podcast will say,
how was the Guardians ride?
And I can't respond back and say, I was a pussy
and I didn't go on it because my tummy hurt.
So I was like, all right, I guess we're doing the Guardians ride.
We drive over to it.
It's in Epcot.
Aussie Dave is like, do you need a bag?
I said, I need a bag for sure.
There will be puke on this ride.
I know it.
And it's another one where it's a bit of an experience like Rise of the Resistance, but not quite as extravagant.
You just get like a Terry Crews video, which was, ooh, it was less than great.
It was tough.
So like Glenn Close is on.
It's like the pet of Xandar or whatever.
She's great.
Terry Crews just felt weird.
It just felt worse.
It felt like Terry Crews. It felt like Perry Crews.
It takes you out of it a little bit.
Yeah, that was a
tough scene. And also
I think it takes place
between Guardians 1
and 2. No, it has
to be before 1, I think, because you get adult Groot.
Before
1, they're not Guardians, right?
Oh, fact. but how do we
have fully grown adult Groot in it then
during
I don't know that was the other thing that we were confused
about we were like when does this ride to I
almost said stop the ride it's not counting
because then you're saying all right it takes place
after two but he's
not adult Groot
after two Xandar was wiped off the map
By the mad Titan Thanos
My fucking god
And it was no revivals version
Where he just murders those motherfuckers
To get the power stone
So again you have to kind of
You basically have to just be like
Terry Crews is here
Who gives a fuck
None of this shit follows anything
And Jeff just didn't prepare any of us
For the fact that this was the most intense roller coaster in the park.
And I know that Disney hard-horses will say, no, it's the space one that gives you the Gs or whatever.
Some people are saying this was not a crazy roller coaster.
My kids did it, blah, blah, blah.
This is a crazy roller coaster.
Crazy.
And I said right before the ride, as long as it doesn't go backwards, I think I'll probably be okay.
This thing shoots you backwards like first time you get in it and you're in space you see
celestials we had burn baby burn people were asking what song we got there's like six separate songs
burn baby burn was a good one not the best one though they had september by earth wind and fire
that's the one we were we were craving and i made it about three quarters of the way through the ride before i just let loose
and puked like i was group going through the 700 jumps in guardians 2 that literally is what it
felt like to me is like the simulation of that scene i thought i was going to pass out i thought
it's gonna be like one of those slingshot videos where the person's like clem is next to me he said
he was terrified he didn't sound terrified during the ride though because he's just singing burn baby burn he's like burn baby burn I hear Dave behind me going
oh I fucking hate it oh no oh no it was and then Jeff D'Lo in the front was like how awesome was
that greatest ride in Disney we were all I was throwing up in a garbage bin my hair's all over
the place Austin lost his hat on the ride went flying off i was holding onto my glasses for dear life during the ride it was it was hell but also like i'm glad i
did it even though it did put me through that i'm like i am glad i did it because it was insane
and you'd be counting down the minutes till you went all the way back to epcot and got to
guardians on the galaxy which you probably have to you have to i think pay there's like genie plus
now which gets you like the lightning line access which you can like go faster but then you have to
then pay for a select rides that are really popular i think guardians like 15 ahead just and
we got it just we skipped the entire line part of the reason watsi dave has to explain everything
to us is because we're missing the little cue stuff the little shows in the queue in the, in the, in the wait line. So it was, it was awesome. I hate to say this Robbie, but when you were puking, I was like,
I pray to God when they snap that picture of you, like they do in a lot of roller coasters,
you were, had your face in the bag. It would have been an all time thing. You're so good.
You can tell you're right there. You can see the bag, like in your hand, if you look closely at it.
And again, I I'm, I'm pretty good.
At least I was in my 20s.
I was good with Space Mountain.
And I think this is a much newer, updated, evolutionary version of Space Mountain because it's in the dark.
There's like little lights that look like stars as you're moving.
But it's such a smoother ride.
It twists you.
And again, you have the Guardians, which is awesome.
You have the music, which is awesome.
So I – and I looked at the youtube of the ride like people will kind of do what austin does right where
they record themselves and you can't really it's faster than i thought it was going to be so the
the speed of it all really like sets you off and it just there's times where it feels like you're
going down forever and i mean that's me saying that i could only imagine how bob felt as he was
dude that that was my takeaway
I was like oh I can never do like Six Flags King Da Ka
Like that one that's just the biggest drop
I was like oh my god the drops in this one
But yeah if you're a rollercoaster guy
This is probably the biggest like must
That we did at Disney
This was like an intense awesome fast rollercoaster
Fucked me up bad but it was fun
We went to Epcot for lunch
I couldn't eat a god damn thing
I was out for the count for an hour Let me also say i've realized with roller coasters
i have to like act like i'm having fun like that's why i was singing dancing it was just to like
get the instead of screaming i'm like i might as well just act like i'm having fun so then it
feels like the the endorphins of fun go in my body to counteract the eight million things of
fear going through my body at
the time. I'd be like, when is this going to be over? And I'm already like, fuck, I'm going to
have to go back with my kids in three weeks because my four-year-old is going to want to
ride the ride. And there's nothing, I'm not a rollercoaster guy. Like I said, I, my wife is
a rollercoaster girl though. I sit at, on the bench, she'll give me her purse. So I'm holding
her purse on the bench as she goes on the ride. She'll give me her purse. So I'm holding her purse on the bench as
she goes on the ride. And then she usually comes out and there's like her and like a couple of
like little kids were like, that was the greatest ride ever. And I'm there like a little bitch.
Now, if my own flesh and blood do that, it's going to be tough. So to anyone out there,
if you're ever on a roller coaster and you're scared, just kind of like act like you're having
fun. Sing the song until you make it. it Yeah, exactly But then we went to the restaurant
And Bob missed himself a nice little tour of Italy
Yeah, I was hurt
And I literally couldn't eat a thing
I threw up a couple times at the restaurant
And then Dave and Austin had to go back
They had a flight to catch
Barstool Sportsbook now live in Massachusetts
So they're off in Massachusetts
Go now if you're listening in Massachusetts
And we went back
Aussie Dave brought us back to Disney afterwards Good pizza, by the way Very good pizza Oh, was it? off in massachusetts go now if you're listening in massachusetts and we went back aussie aussie
dave brought us back to disney afterwards good pizza by the way very good oh was it yeah oh yeah
you didn't have any yeah it was like napoli something napoli neapolitan they say it was
like very soft um it was like fluff it was like i don't know how to say it was just like a good
it was like it was light but it had a little fluff to it um and they told us that like at all
the different uh countries so you have germany you have italy you have france they fly in people
that are or they bring in people that are from those countries to work the you know they're the
chefs they're the waiters they're everything so it gives you that authentic feel of it all
and those guys the the waiter was awesome we had just a a cool Italian guy. So it was, and Dave said it,
I don't know if he said it on the review,
but he had reviewed another pizza place,
I believe in Hollywood.
And I think it got around the same score as this one.
This one was apparently much better.
It's like, for me, with Dave reviews,
I'm much more about the review than the number.
And I don't have to show him
about the funny stuff in the review,
but the way he describes it, that's how I know how Dave feels about it. Because the number gets so'll have to show him what the funny stuff in the review but the way he describes it that's how i know how they feel yes because the number gets so it's just on
your day it's just how it all goes and then you know like the pizza bianca we had in uh arizona
that's like the people she has the greatest pizza ever got like a seven three so the whole scale is
like completely fucked after a billion different reviews and then when we went back to the park i
just kind of i've listed a bunch of different stuff that we went back to the park, I just kind of,
I've listed a bunch of different stuff that we did.
This was the stuff that wasn't as interesting
for the podcast,
but I'll rattle them off
and we could, you know,
touch on any that we want to.
We did Pandora,
little Avatar ride.
We did the Calm Avatar ride
while Jeff and Ken Jack did the crazy one.
We did Pirates of the Caribbean,
which I loved.
I know that's an old one
and it's, you know,
people probably make fun of it for being a kiddie ride, but thought it was really cool we did winnie the pooh which is a kiddie ride aussie dave was putting uh the jeff and ken jack on was
it seven dwarves no wait in the seven dwarves it's like a runaway mine train and i've heard if you're
a big guy your knees will be destroyed by the end of it. And I've had, I think the ride is Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom.
And I'm like, I'm never doing a ride like this again.
Because I fucked up my whole trip kind of like with you, right?
And I was like, I've heard it's the same thing with the seven.
I'm like, no way, no how.
And what did, do you remember what Aussie Dave told us as he was putting us on?
Like his two-year, this is what he does for his two-year-old, right?
This is what I do for the two-year-olds on the tour when the six-year-olds want to ride their fun ride i was like come on aussie hey you know what robbie said
he went on one of the food what did everyone say it was a good ride and everyone on the twitter
replies were like hey that's pretty fun someone on the twitter replies cracked me up and they
were like that's like one dab of acid away from like a horrible trip oh you get to the humphalumps
and woozles man i'm telling you there ain't nothing scarier than hphalumps and Woozles, man. I'm telling you, there ain't nothing scarier than Humphalumps and Woozles in all four of the Disney parks combined, man.
I'm a big Pooh Bear guy.
We did Thunder Mountain, which I loved.
As far as straight up roller coasters go, this was my favorite.
I thought it was so much fun.
We had the whole car clapping it up and everything.
And it was my first one where it was a bounce back.
Everyone was like, I think you could do this one.
It's not too bad.
There's no loops.
Doesn't go too fast.
It's just like a quick, fun roller coaster. Everyone was right. I think you could do this one. It's not too bad. There's no loops. It doesn't go too fast. It's just like a quick, fun roller coaster.
Everyone was right.
I loved it.
I can't tell you how many times I've had people try to sell me on going on roller coasters.
I'm like, guys, I'm just not a roller coaster guy.
I'm not going to do it.
But I just – this ride was like – I remember this was the ride when I was younger, and I never did any roller coasters of any sorts.
Then it just became no loop-de-loops.
But I did Thunder Mountain for the first time, and I was like, that was so much
fun. I understand the appeal of roller coasters now.
I was like, I need to get Bob back
to this spot. If he can get here.
So I said, listen, man, I'm not going to make you do it, but I'm
just telling you, it's really not
bad, and it's just, and I said it
afterwards, it's just a good vibe ride.
And Jeff was all about
clapping it up and just kind of getting it going.
We had girls behind us who were like, these guys are fun! just kind of getting going. We had girls behind us.
We're like, these guys are fun.
So they're clapping up.
We have people in front of us clapping it up.
And I've done it in the past where I went with four of my friends, my wife and I, and we were singing.
And our whole train started singing it.
We're singing it the whole ride.
We get pulled back into the station to get off.
And the people at the waiting line were then singing it the whole ride we get pulled back into the station to get off and the people
at the waiting line were then singing it and when people would say thunder the person in charge of
the lights at disney was raising them up and down so it became a thing and then they would go on the
ride doing thunder we like started a mini cult for a day because i'm telling a man out of every
ride in all those parks i will go to my greatest and thunder mountain has the best vibes of all
them and smiling your face you turned around like three different times and you gave it the thumbs up
really it's good it's good i'm happy yes like we've got we got robbie fox i was going hands
up and everything it was a blast and then uh that was pretty much it for the rides we i i tried the
orange swirl ice cream you guys tried the Whip. Everyone was loving that delicious stuff.
Went to dinner, got some fireworks in, and that was Disney.
It was a super fun day.
Clem and I then did Universal the next day.
We became the Universal Boys, which was less talked about than the Disney Boys, slightly.
Yeah, didn't trend as much.
We got to see Springfield, though.
Springfield and Krusty Land, which you wanted to see, obviously.
I was, of course, down to see that as well way better than expected i feel like some
people downplayed it for us and they were like oh there's only a couple things like you'll be in and
out in a second we were walking around like oh look at that's the quickie bar oh look it's mose
we went into mose you got to try a duff beer like i thought it was really cool we met up with
basement boy sam lauderdale shout out basement boy of the week sam lauderdale got to hang with
him for a couple hours ride a couple fun rides with him we did the old et ride from 1990 i looked
up the old jurassic park water ride was 1996 so three years after the first movie both of those
both classics i thought that stand the test of time like obviously old rides when you see the
animatronics they're not as updated as the crazy 950 000 avatar animatronics and disney but so much
fun still like i had a blast with those and then we took the train to the harry potter part of the
park i'm not the biggest harry potter guy you're not a big harry potter guy either the train ride
over there was one of my favorite parts like they have the screen on the window so it looks like
you're going into hogwarts they have like dementors the worst part
of prison come after you and harry potter saves you you see it like through chilled glass and
stuff so cool and then we went and looked through a bunch of the marvel gift shops as well in
universal we didn't get anything because i think we all had no space left in our luggage but just
looking through those gift shops was so much fun yeah they had some some pretty cool things and
they had a lot of x-men stuff because they had x-men and all these uh marvel guys back in the day when before the mcu
was born and the way it works is they disney cannot the the way the agreement was agreed to is
uh they had exclusive rights universal east of the mississippi so they can now just do whatever
they want now if they edit any of that stuff, they change it, that deal is null and void, and then Disney can then build,
which would probably be their own theme park at this point for the MCU.
They have stuff in Cali because that's west of the Mississippi.
So they have the Avengers, what is it?
Avengers Campus?
Avengers Campus, yeah.
Yeah.
They have Spider-Man doing flips and shit like that.
So that was very cool to see.
Like I said, the gift shops, there was an old comic book.
I wish I bought it, but they didn't have it for sale.
It was the first X-Men that I fell in love with, Jim Lee, right?
Yeah, that Magneto cover.
Yeah, I love that thing, but they didn't have the comic book for sale.
They had so many toys, shit like that.
Springfield was awesome.
I was expecting it was going to be a fresh layer of paint.
But when I was at Moe's, I felt like I was in a cartoon.
It was fucking cool. Same with quickie. Mark got a picture with Jebediah Springfield saw Krusty burger,
the frying Dutchman sign. Like I Simpsons, I said this to you, uh,
on like an Instagram story,
the Simpsons seasons one through 10 or whatever it is when they're just
hammering out home run after home run is my
favorite piece of content in the history of all content it is that kind of humor what those guys
were doing back in the day there's nothing that even approaches it to be honest with you uh so i
absolutely love it so yeah i i could have that was to me probably star wars land was to you like i
was just really yeah entire time yeah i just couldn't believe it and i thought the ride was
great like a lot of people told me especially afterwards when i said i did the ride everyone was like that was the ride
that made me more nauseous than any ride in history i can't believe you did that the simpsons
ride is very similar to star tours but instead of looking at a screen and moving it's like you're in
a complete dome everything around you is a screen so you look down it's a screen you look up it's a
screen and it's so immersive almost again feels video game-ish like the 3d animation is very video game-ish and sideshow bob is after
you so you're trying to escape crusty land get back to springfield there's like a giant maggie
in it and everything really really fun ride i loved that one yeah it was a really fun ride it
was and it had a lot of the again the humor and stuff in the when you're waiting the pre-show actually good jokes in it oh i think marge at one point was like oh no he's
gonna kill the kids and homer was like thank god yeah yeah he keeps getting better yeah homer's
getting like hit uh homer's getting his ass he's like i lost my wallet though like that's the stuff
he's worried about there's so many little subtle nods and yeah it exceeded expectations which
usually you go in with such a high
Expectation of everything you get let down
This was completely the opposite and again
If you're not a huge Simpsons fan I would be like
Yeah I don't care but that's the good thing about Universal
You can feel like you're in Jurassic Park
You can feel like you're in Hogwarts you can feel like you're
In Springfield and I know they're coming out with
A Mario Land in a couple of years or in a year
Or two and that's going to be
You know with the kids they are obsessed with that's going to be, you know, with the kids,
they are obsessed with math.
That's why I'm telling you.
Happy Mario day.
March 10th.
I buy your marriage,
your Nintendo stock.
Now I think it's gone down one full point since I bought it.
So,
uh,
stock tips are not doing very well right now.
Yeah.
I'm going to go get some,
uh,
Nintendo while they're down.
All right.
So that was,
that was Disney.
That was universal.
You'll see the full video suit.
I'm sure the Disney boys video,
you'll see it in stool scenes and then you'll see a full Disney boys,
you know,
recap and everything like that.
And I'm so excited for the videos to come out for people to see how funny
the trip was,
how just how much fun we had in general.
And yeah,
thanks for everyone.
Uh,
retweeting all this stuff because our Twitters were all going on fire this weekend.
This weekend.
It's Friday now.
This week.
I'm all jumbled.
We're noodley, guys.
This fake ass week, weekend.
Nothing's real right now.
And now we're Mario Day.
That's how it all ends.
Yeah.
Happy Mario Day, everyone.
All right.
We're going to get into the Mandalorian Chapter 18, the Minds of Mandalore.
But first, let's tell everyone about HelloFresh, one of our favorite sponsors. Happy Mario Day, everyone. All right, we're going to get into the Mandalorian, Chapter 18, The Minds of Mandalore.
But first, let's tell everyone about HelloFresh, one of our favorite sponsors.

If you're,
if you were me and Trent back in the day,
we were spending way too much on takeout now with hello fresh.
Oh,
it's the best.
They have 40 weekly recipes to choose from for all meal occasions,
lifestyles,

Ooh,
that sounds good.
Some rice on the side of that or mushroom and chive risotto. That
sounds great as well. HelloFresh makes it easy to eat what you love. So customize your select meals,
add proteins or sides, add a protein to a veggie dish if you want, and you could even upgrade for
organic chicken or organic ground beef on select meals. If I eat something organic, I just feel

Like that's organic.
It's gotta be healthy, right?
It's it braises the floor of the healthiness up to a satisfactory level.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
I love this stuff.
Clem loves it.

That was the one thing I didn't really eat or snack enough.
Like I wanted to at all the parks.
It just wasn't enough time.
But again, like I kept being like, I'm going to be back here in a few months in a few weeks so i'll have to do it right when i do
it then it's just it was a breakneck pace jeff jeff d low had us at a grueling pace if it was
the oregon trail so go home sit back relax and enjoy your hello fresh i also felt bad for jeff
he was hyping up two things all weekend he wanted to somehow get into the tron ride and he wanted to
get like goofy's sour balls that was like his
favorite candy is the goofy's balls and they don't make those anymore and he couldn't get into the
tron ride i was like oh poor jeff disney low but you know i think he had a good time as well he
had never done rise the resistance either like as a disney guy it wasn't i don't think it was
open when he last went so he was loving life dude very slept on fact of all this is that we did four
parks in one day.
We did all four parks.
I never in a million years thought I could ever do that.
Didn't even know it was possible.
And we barely were able to do it with a tour guide.
So awesome.
Awesome.
And just one last note on Disney, since you just mentioned the four parks at Animal Kingdom, I had to take a shit and VIP tour guide.
Aussie Dave told me, oh, don't worry.
All the doors in here like swing both ways and have locks on them just in case the animals escape.
I was like, well, I wasn't worried about taking this shit until you said that,
until you said that Disney could turn into Jurassic Park at any moment.
Yep, thanks for that, Aussie.
That made me worry.
That was the most worried I've ever been while taking a shit.
Sorry if I grossed anyone out on the podcast.
Hope nobody was eating and listening to the podcast. All right, now let's get into the
Mandalorian chapter 18, the minds of Mandalore. I didn't get to watch this episode until we got
back from Disney. You watched it before we went to Disney because we were all going to wake up
early. And then I just wound up not being able to do it. If you watched the bracket, we just did
the most addicting things that aren't drugs on that show and my number one vote was snoozing the alarm i just can't help it i'm addicted clem robbie's a sleep guy he's a snooze
guy i have had that beaten out of me by kids if i i never was one but any kind of like sleeping late
i am up at 4 30 every morning whether kids are there or not so i was up we got we did post dave
if you wanted to wake up early and watch the mandorian. I think Dave was like, I think I'm good because we had, again,
a 7.40 start time at Disney, which I'll see Dave multiple times.
Like, just a wild move, lads.
You know, like just a wild move.
So I just woke up, watched it immediately just in case anything major happened,
and I don't want to get it spoiled on Twitter or just like in casual conversation and i thought everyone else was gonna watch it um but uh we watched we enjoyed
and we are ready to rock and roll about it it was so goddamn good we open on tattooing back to
fucking tattooing of course but we only spend a couple minutes there there's a race happening we
see like a race in the streets doesn't really really look like a pod race. It looks more like a drag race.
And Ellie moto mentions it's like Boonta week,
which if you recall back the phantom menace,
that pod race was the Boonta Eve classic.
So a little Boonta shout out there. And she is hustling a Rodian with some Jawas.
It seems like the Jawas are taking parts off of the Rodian ship and then
putting them back on repainted.
And she's like,
yep,
I repaired your ship for you.
They got a little side hustle on their, on their resume there.
And she sells Mando R5, which she hypes up, you know,
she hypes him up as the greatest droid ever.
And he just does R5 shit where he starts breaking right away.
And they're off to Mandalore.
So I have to admit, I said last episode, I've said a lot.
I'm not a Pele Moto guy.
She was not, not as bad this episode.
Very tolerable.
I don't know if it's just because we went in and out or I'm just used to her.
But I did not have any beef with Peli Moto the entire time.
Lots of Star Wars language.
She's dropping a lot of, you know, like scruffy nerve herder level creature references and stuff like that.
And our boy Baby Yo can fucking jump.
He can jump, do backflips and shit. I don't know. He was like an NBA Jam character. references and stuff like that and our boy baby yo can fucking jump he could jump do like flips
and shit i don't know what he was like uh an nba jam character i forget who it was someone had a
tweet where they were like i love that they're just throwing that fucking puppet around at this
point like when he jumps you can tell literally someone's behind the camera like like they're not
doing crazy cgi on if it is cgi they're doing it minimally to where it still looks like a puppet
it still looks practical
and that's part of the thing we love so much about baby yoda and this show in general is the
stress on practical effects that favaron feloni have both implemented so mando and groger off
to mandalore they want to check it out because of last week they want to see if the surface is
breathable and whatnot on r5 is with them they kind of redo the back of the ship so r5 can fit
in the back where baby yo was baby yo's in the cockpit with mando and on the way over mando keeps
teaching him about you got to know your way to navigate you know if you're going to be a
mandalorian you got to know your way around the galaxy you got to know every little nook and
cranny every corner starts telling him this is this planet this is that planet and i love that
that was shown because already in this episode we could see that baby yoda's getting a little smarter and he's being able to do a little bit more on his own
and it's not just out of nowhere it's like all right mando's talking to him he's trying to teach
him he's trying to train him and with their timelines who knows maybe it's been 10 fucking
years since they've been together you know our boy's leveling up right now i'm very proud of it
and now it makes a little more sense now that we know the favro timeline and everything he's been
around for a little while.
So he's starting to put things together.
And I just can't believe we're going back to Mandalore already.
It's kind of like I couldn't believe.
I know.
I was shocked.
I thought that was going to be way late in the season.
Yep.
And obviously you know about it going into it because you can see it.
But it's, you know, in the trailers and stuff.
But, you know, this is something that I am happy about with the Mandalorian.
Like, I thought this whole season was going to be about him getting Grogu back.
Nope.
They just took care of that in the Book of Boba Fett.
You didn't watch the Book of Boba Fett.
That's your problem.
No one else is like, that's just how they're doing it.
They're saying we're going fucking pedal to the metal and hitting the hyperdrive.
So I was shocked we're going.
But I was like, again, someone that hasn't watched the cartoons and stuff.
I was like, this should be cool, I guess. I don't know anything about mandalore barely know about mandalorian still
and it did look really cool we talked in our last of us recap about how cool the city looked when it
was like at post bombing and you could see the craters in the ground and everything was overgrown
it's a different vibe with mandalore it's not as beautiful and green it It's just the shards of, you know, they said it was crystallized.
The surface was crystallized by the Empire's lasers and stuff.
And you see where they bombed and stuff.
And it's a crazy visual.
We also mentioned last week we loved that R5 was finally getting some shine here.
And he does get shine.
Mando sends him out for the first samples on the planet
because he doesn't know if the air is breathable yet.
And then he sees a red dot show up on the map
like you're playing Call of Duty and you have a UAV and Mendes like,
all right,
I guess I got to go check it out.
He gets ambushed by these creatures in a cave.
They're,
they're not Wookiees.
They're not,
I don't know how to describe them,
but they're just these hairy cave creatures and he kills them with a dark
saber,
but he struggles as we saw in the book of Boba Fett.
He's still getting used to using a dark saber. He's still getting used to the weight of that thing and in my head canon i think do jedis
i might have mentioned this before in the show maybe when we did book of boba fett recaps do
jedis have an easier time swinging around lightsabers because they're subtly using the force
and they're really like fucking heavy things like that that would make a lot of sense right and kind
of letting the full force take it for you especially of the crystal side yeah i you know what i'm i'm in your head canon with you your head canon is on
my head canon so we get a couple more people listening it just becomes canon at some point
right and so it's just like how r5 became uh it was a jedi droid according to like that one person
who made the book or whatever he's which someone sent me to apparently one of the books in Disney Canon mentions that like in really,
but in Disney Canon,
it's in a book where stories are meant to be misleading.
Jesus Christ.
So,
I mean,
you can't make it more confusing.
I know.
What are we talking about?
Let me tell you what our five is.
He's not a Jedi.
He's a bitch boy.
He's a fucking little scaredy cat,
man.
It's like,
dude,
you're a droid.
You have a job.
Do your goddamn job.
It's like Bill Belichick. Do job and r5 is like he needs you to check out the atmosphere
that's all he's asking you to do and you're fucking coming clem i thought you were i know
you're such an r2 guy i thought maybe all astromex but no you're just an r2 i mean you're you're blue
and white not red and white yeah the goat is the goat and this guy popped his lid at his biggest
moment of his life whether or not it was four sensitive versions the guy is kind of i i i don't want to say this i i
thought r5 was going to become my guy but i'm just sitting there like come on man like we like what
if little sweet baby yo doesn't know if he can breathe on the planet or not because this guy
doesn't want to go out and do the one job he was purchased for so i was i was just very upset though that's on pelimoto
man pelimoto hyped him up she kind of you know like you're close enough with mandu and grogu
at this point though where you shouldn't be swindling them they're your friends yeah well
that's who pelimoto is it's one of the many reasons i'm not a very big fan of her and like
you said i don't like when she speaks jawa by the way that makes me uncomfortable when i say human
speaking jawa i'm like that doesn't look right that feels weird we know she any human not just her what are the green
guys called the row rodians rodians we know she likes to get down with rodians too yeah oh yeah
yeah pelimoto gets crazy i think the pelimoto thing when we did the udini like the the jawa
oh face i think that was during a pelimoto conversation and all that stuff so yeah r5
i'm not a fan of.
We're in fucking Last of Us world where everything's scary.
And then this guy, Mando, gets attacked.
Granted, ambush.
Bob, Mando gets ambushed by these creatures.
And he's too close for the laser beam.
He stinks with the Darksaber.
This was your time to use the flamethrower, you goddamn asshole.
And he didn't use the flamethrower. I was screaming, use the flamethrower you goddamn asshole oh my god you're right i was screaming you're right use the flamethrower i think where they they had like fur right
fur lights on fire these guys are cooked literally and figuratively cooked use the goddamn flamethrower
it just drives me fucking insane that they know how to use the flame that was the moment
that was the moment that was the moment he could have used it it's like when the the guy always says like was the girl was she
giving me the clue oh shit that was the clue wasn't it like man was gonna think about it the
next day like oh that was when you used a flamethrower yeah so he realizes the air is okay
to breathe he's like bo katan is right the air is okay to breathe here this is crazy he starts
making his way down to the mines and it looks so cool down there like the soul damage that's been done is there but almost still
looks like a coliseum or something like an ancient relic and the way he's like just jet packing down
is really cool and of course grogu is is missing his dad so he just follows along which is going
to come in handy later when a giant fucking robot snatches Mando and Grogu has to frigging save the day.
It gets brought back to that like alien droid guy's lair, Mando.
This alien droid villain guy,
one of the creepiest and best villain designs we've seen in Star Wars in a
while, I think.
I thought that was very, it was a very cool design.
I thought the way it was growing and then it would like go leave and it
would still always be a presence.
I thought it was very cool. I thought it was at first i'm like my guy like qualities yeah almost like
the the geonosian uh like from attack of the clones when they're on that big coliseum and
that you see the droid uh factory and stuff vibes of that vibes of grievous a little bit with the
alien droid like i was gonna say that the alien eye droid body and then even later on when when bo katan comes by skipping ahead a little bit but when his head comes off you think he's
dead and his head just crawls around like a spider like holy crap if i was thinking of my
nephew right away i was like that might creep him out a little bit creep me out a little bit
oh yeah big i i'm honestly shocked that you were more creeped out because that was my biggest but
i guess if i saw it again maybe it was a very dark episode too i feel so very dark and it was like and i'm not gonna go like battle of winterfell dark and go
on my ramp but it's like i just need to see i need to be able to see the episodes i don't know if
it's because i'm old or it's because the tv is dark because i'm in a place like disney i just
need just give me episodes where i could see everything because i couldn't tell if it was a
spider i didn't know what was going on which was also crazy that disney plus wasn't just on all the tvs i thought you
have access to all the whole disney plus catalog because there you go you're like all right we'll
get disney plus because it was so great watching the mandalorian today right exactly and they had
a channel on tv that was like a sampler which was like you could press it and it was just random
like content at all i put it on it was the national geogra or national treasure tv show they do i was just like damn i wanted to watch mando but i i tried to link my
phone to it and everything i couldn't even do that it was it was messing up the wi-fi so i just
wound up watching mando on my computer but grogu follows mando into this cave mando's like go get
bo katan send her here immediately i'm like can grogu fucking do that is he old enough like can he drive a car like literally as a baby or if you want to call him like the season one and the child this is the
guy that you're gonna be like getting that starship and go in space but he on his way out
he bodies a cave alien one of those like jumps in front of him this was the scene we saw in the
trailer and it's so great the way he just like uses the force pushes him away and the face he makes when he comes out of that cave with his eyes squinted a little bit
he's like really focusing and a note he didn't have to go to sleep right away so he's getting
a little stronger that's oh great point i didn't i didn't even put that together he's he's getting
stronger i feel like he's this episode in particular he's ratcheting up the cuteness
he knows that cuteness is his like greatest asset he has
because everyone just goes oh whatever you need little baby basically that's how he got bo katan
because he goes in the ship with r5 they fly in and as the ship flies in bo goes let's get rid of
him once and for all and i'm like oh whoa whoa what the fuck you're gonna kill this guy now
and she walks up to him she's like i told you never to come back here blah blah blah and realizes it's the baby and she's like oh look at the fucking baby all right
all right anything for grogu and she does so i was mad at her for saying let's get rid of him once
and for all but the fact that she goes back and she brings grogu and r5 and her ship and everything
and truly makes an effort to save the mandalorian in multiple instances and moments where she didn't
have to bo katan got major points for me in this episode i'm like you're you might be a hypocrite
but if you're saving my guy's life i'll let you be a hypocrite my note was bo is fucking shit up
right now she was fucking shit up and um again how much of that is because baby yo uh like melted
her heart uh babbling spluttering and cooing were
three different things he was doing they're throwing those words out there you know he's
hamming it up he's and then the big black eyes are just getting nice and wide like uh uh puss in
boots yeah you got me you got me and she got the dark saber and she uses it way better than mando
let's be honest i mean she knows how to
use that thing you could see why she wants it so bad she's like if i had this i could rule the
fucking galaxy slicing up cave monsters left and right did not look heavy for her she was just
slicing it spinning it doing all the tricks with it she mentions to grogu that her family used to
rule little like subtle shout out to satine and all that and her father i guess who i don't think
we saw her father in the clone wars if i think back i think he was already passed on but they
did talk about the father a little bit in this one um slaughters those cave people and then she
goes and she does save mando like i said kills the bug or droid guy or so you thought and then his
eye like opens again and it's almost like a horror movie where it's like oh but there's one more
monster in the end and then they wind up getting to uh where it's like oh but there's one more monster in the end
and then they wind up getting to uh getting to kill him i forget how they they smash the head
they do it some cool way though yeah and this sick fuck is like draining mando's blood out of
him or something yeah it was he had him in like a cooker almost he was in like a cage that was
spinning and stuff yeah mando listen it's not great that he got taken in but he got
taken in by an alien in a huge mech suit and we've talked about our favorite heroes in the past
one of my favorite heroes of all times indiana jones one of your favorites john mclean two guys
that get their ass kicked a lot and it's one of the most likable qualities of a protagonist it's
not just a mary sue as they call it which i guess people use that for like a female character but
it's not a perfect character
he struggles we love him for his flaws
more than anything else it's crazy it sounds
because the boy's been catching L's non
stop basically yeah when you
really take a step back and you're like
kind of fucked up a lot of things
and he's gotten bailed out a
few times and we love him we definitely love
him and he's just so
and after his blood is drained
out of him he's so fucking tired i'm telling you that's that was me when jeff's like all right we
got to get the thunder mount by 9 p.m and we had to go like across half the park and i'm like oh
feet are hurting like knees are hurting just exhausted from head to toe that was our boy
man you could hear it in pedro's voice you know what i mean yeah it's my back and neck for me it's not my feet and knees as much it's my back and my neck and my shoulders
are all like from the whiplash i think it's all from guardians from those 700 jumps we did in
two seconds um bo gives din some pog soup and gives some history of the planet she talks again
about you know her family uh mandalore
everything about the way it used to be and living waters again she's like seriously with the
fucking living waters like you really think that there's something special down there
like i'll bring you down there if you really want to go down there i'll i'll bring you down there
so they jet pack down grogu's in his little uh his little ball you know his little stroller
the way he floats down
with them is great as well it reminded me of r2 in the prequels when they were like we need to
have r2 like do more so they were like he had jets on all the whole time and then they go to
the living waters mando starts taking his armor off and there's a mention of like the mythosaur
cave this used to be and i was like oh mythosaur cave i bet we might see a mythosaur by the end of
season four imagine they built that season four i was thinking clem i was thinking they're teasing
mythosaurs in season three maybe in two years from now we'll see one then mando goes into the
waters he gets pulled down he starts saying almost like a prayer like the mandalorian version of a
prayer saying the creed stuff he gets pulled under which i saw some debate on whether or not he got
pulled under or just fell in pretty sure he got pulled under guys i don't think he just fall like
50 feet underwater out of nowhere bo goes after him with the jet pack which another moment where
i was like all right in that moment like i don't think mando had the dark saber on his body did he
if he if he didn't poketan could have just been like oh he's dead dark saber's mine now sick
like poketan going into the water i was was like, all right, for this week,
she's not getting any angry rants from me.
She is good by me for this week.
And she sees Clem, the eye of an alive Mythasaur.
The Mythasaur is a Factasaur.
It exists. It's real. And it's way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way
bigger than I ever thought it could be. There was talk of like riding one of them or something like
that. I'm like, how do you even ride that thing? You look like an ant on it basically. Yeah. I
don't know if you could ride that thing. I mean, Bo-Katan was the size of it's like eye. Yeah. It
was, it was like a celestial yeah yeah exactly seeing the
uh jetpack work underwater too i was like all right i always forget they have jetpacks i also
was like yo if mando gets captured by a creature loses the darksaber to the creature and then you
pick up the darksaber you technically should be the owner of the darksaber by me because it's like
if you don't take care of your stuff you lose it that's fucking how we go that's how we go in this household when sienna like you put that somewhere
your brother can't reach because if he takes it i can't get it back from him kind of a thing
far far away too with the darksaber like there's no commanding board over the darksaber there's
nobody being like well you didn't follow the rules the darksaber is like the 24-7 hardcore title like
at any point that thing could change hands it might not even be via a match or pinfall it someone might just steal it and then they will say yeah
screw it they're a champ that's how the darksaber works do you think mando will keep the darksaber
the entire season or lose it to somebody i'm gonna say it's gonna be by like the end of next episode
the way that they go like i feel like we're in fucking like i was just like oh by the end of
season four maybe right and it's like no everything here and i appreciate that they're just like getting shit done they'll think of
other things we'll look forward to and then that shit will get done sooner than we thought and
it's just like it's just the pace of it makes it so much more fun another question about the living
waters we heard a lot about there's nothing special about the living waters there's nothing
you know crazy there's only myths do you think that was all
leading to the mythosaur which i would think is fine like that was an awesome awesome moment and
reveal or do you think there's anything about those waters that can give you the force oh i
didn't even think about that i might be getting too ambitious with that and maybe that's not even
great for mando maybe mando needs to remain just the bounty hunter and i'd be completely fine with him never getting the force just the way they talked about it and they talked about there's
nothing special about that there's nothing special about that i was thinking maybe there's a mythosaur
down there or maybe he's going to go down there and start to get inklings of you know feeling the
force even if it's not crazy power maybe he'll be able to move something with his mind and we'll be like, Oh shit.
He's got some metachlorians in that blood.
As I I'm,
I'm very much fine if they just keep it completely separate.
And that's just their little religious fanatic water,
which by the way,
for everyone saying all these guys are just from religious fanatics,
they're mythical creature pulling the guy who,
you know,
broke the creed underwater,
potentially do his watery tomb.
The kind of like, it's like, there's something more here.
There's something more.
So that's a big W for the armorer and her fucking crew of their little cult they had going on.
So I will give them that much.
It also is just so ridiculous.
It's just saying these words, walking in the water.
Also, it's kind of like this magical lake and all this stuff very
cool the fact that it's like we're going to go to the civic center i feel like it was like
mid hudson civic center i'm like what are we fucking talking let's get a better name here
just that one and that's a very regional thing the mid hudson civic center is yeah i'm being
like the kipsey i think it just kind of took me out i was like what the fuck are we talking that's
where you see like old wrestling shows and shit like that i was gonna say civic center is definitely like a wrestling venue for yes exactly another word that got
mentioned in this episode that if you watched our and or reviews you know we love the pronunciation
of this one bocatan said schedule get my scheduling yes yeah i like that i was like oh yeah
get that c out of that word in the star Wars universe We are not big fans Of the schedule
Usually it's bad people
Well yeah true
Well Bo-Katan
Bo was right
We do know Bo was right about Mandalore
So we have to at least admit that right Robbie
Well she was half right
She was right about the air being able to breathe
But she was wrong about the lakes
The lakes that's a fair point
I won't argue that at all And then the other thing was our boy heavy spoilers
pointed this out in his video mando was like i need this for spelunking and she's like spelunking
he's like where are you gonna spelunk it's like oh you know spelunking and a little call back from
the dark knight it's it's very much if you watch his thing it kind of goes like one-on-one with
that which i still am not sure what spunking is all these years later.
And I've heard it a million different times.
I don't know either.
And you told me that I actually haven't watched the heavy spoilers breakdown
yet. I definitely will, but I haven't seen it yet.
You told me that.
And I thought to myself, and this is the first,
one of the first moments in my life where I started to feel old.
I went, Holy shit.
It's a 15 year old reference.
Yeah.
That's an old, no. Can you believe that 15-year-old reference. Yeah, that's an old, oh, no.
Can you believe that?
Like, if this was 1990, that is a reference to 1975.
Oh, my God.
Like, how much does that fuck you up?
Not good.
Not good.
I mean, when, like, shit that I, you know, when in the club turned 20, that fucked me up pretty good.
I feel like I just drained the life out of you like Mando right now.
I just took all the blood out of you.
That's exactly how he sounded.
All right.
That was, uh, that was the Disney boys recap.
That was the Mandalorian chapter 18 minds of Mandalore recap.
If you're listening on the podcast feed,
I'll throw it right over to the last of us recap with John Henry Feidelberg.
And next week,
it's going to have its own podcast just for the finale.
And I'll separate that.
And then from here on out,
it'll be all Mando recaps.
Do we have a hashtag we want the people to use?
I do.
Hashtag hashtag.
Thank you.
Bo Katan.
Okay.
All right.
This week, she deserves that
I was like was Bob gonna fight this one
But it's kind of like
Thank you big cat thank you Bo-Katan
Thank you Bo-Katan
This week I'm gonna allow that
She saved our guy she made sure Grogu arrived
Safe and everything
I mean she probably could have just tried to kill Grogu
It would have been a savage move but you know
It's Star Wars I wouldn't put it past anyone
I'm gonna just make this I wouldn't put it past anyone.
I'm going to just make this. I'm going to put it out there now while we're in, like, good vibes mode, too.
Bo has another episode like this.
Bob, I might have to just be, like, your enemy on this for the rest of the way until she proves me wrong.
Well, we'll see if she starts, you know, being less of a hypocrite.
Like, I want someone that knows her history to point it out to her.
Like, I want to make an appearance on the show and kick in a saloon door
and be like, I know what you did in your
past, Bo-Katan. You were in Death Watch.
I want CCTV footage shown
to Manda. Oh, like a
CCTV of a guy
assassinating
his parents? We're going to go to that one?
We're talking about Star Wars, not Marvel.
The basement has
had some tough times here, but the good vibes are coming back.
We just had a trip to fucking Disney together.
If we're going to be fighting after that, that's a real problem.
So the Bo and Bob meter, where are we at now?
One to ten in terms of like pure hatred for her.
Low now.
Now I feel like a five.
I feel like it could almost like it's the Tony Hawk when you're, when you're grinding in the Tony Hawk.
I'm on the meter.
I'm right in the middle right now.
It could sway quick one side or the other,
but right now I'm in the middle five.
We'll take that.
All right.
We'll take that team boat.
We'll take,
we'll accept that.
All right.
Thank you everyone for listening.
Make sure you like the video.
If you're watching on YouTube,
we said it's a podcast feed.
Oh,
we did.
We waited till the end.
If you're on the podcast feed,
here's our last of us recap with John Henryry feidelberg otherwise we'll talk to you next
week all right welcome back to my mom's basement in a very special last of us edition of my mom's
basement with our first guest of the season john henry feidelberg it's a post-apocalyptic world
right it's like there's not a lot of people around we don't know who to grab who's infected who's safe and we realize
feidelberg's watching the show he's safe get in the basement feidelberg i'm fucking here boys i
am here very very much here and you're loving the show right we saw your tweets yeah last night you
were all about it i am i'm obsessed with the show i love the show even the parts where I know I just told you guys off there I think
But I was waiting for someone to catch up
To watch with me so I watched the first five
On Sunday nights and then
Someone wanted to watch with me and I was like
Alright mom fucking catch up
And then she took too long
And so last night I did six seven and eight
And I had seen
The negative criticisms of six
And seven so maybe I went in with a low bar but I loved 6, 7, and 8 And I had seen the negative criticisms Of 6 and 7
So maybe I went in with a low bar
But I loved those too
They haven't missed yet as far as I'm concerned
Every single one has been great
I thought the one in the mall was unbelievable
Maybe not unbelievable, but really good
I really enjoyed that one as well
It's been 10 out of 10 the whole way
You didn't have that like
Oh shit, it's over
And I have a week to wait so you just got to go right
Back in so I think that helps because we said
The same thing like I felt like it was a necessary episode
It was by no means great but
At the same point you're just like alright now let's keep it rolling
And then the way last night ended it's like
I saw you tweeted you're like I fucking
Love the last of us and I was telling Robby
Before we went live I was like there's certain people at Barstool
When they're watching the same show I'm watching.
I'm very happy.
You, Kev, Trent.
Hell, you guys are my guys.
Like, I love being in the foxhole with you guys.
So I love to have you all caught up and we're going to be going in, which I didn't realize last night was the penultimate episode.
So we got the fucking finale coming next week.
And, you know, those guys are looking to gut our souls right now.
I also didn't realize that last night was the penultimate.
And we talked about this on KFC radio today too.
Penultimate only gets used in episode in TV.
Yes.
No one ever said anything about penultimate
unless it's about television.
But I was surprised to see that next week's the finale
because I feel like seasons usually do eight or 10.
I don't think there's a lot of nine episode seasons.
That seems like it's pretty rare.
Which opens up the door for a secret episode.
We've been waiting for secret episodes for a very long time.
Remember that on the CDs?
Every show we think maybe we could get a secret episode.
It's like you stay tuned.
The next week, imagine an episode just came out, a finale finale.
That would be sick.
I'm very into that.
A PS, an epilogue.
The entire world convinces itself Game ofones is going to have a secret episode
you remember that that was like the last season and they're like no that was it it was terrible
you guys fucking you guys are fucked up so we've been hoping for it ever since though we're like
we will get a secret episode one of these days on some tv show there will be one i think there
actually was a secret episode on a show we weren't watching too yeah like fuck we weren't watching it
they did a secret episode but like you said i think even the mall episode even if you called that the worst episode of the
last of us i think the bar for this show it's such a good show that even the lowest of that show is
like better than most other shows and the actors in it are so good the action that they weave in
is so good even that we expected a lot more zombies going into the show or clickers sorry not using the fucking z word in front of people not a lot infected and it's
honestly been scarier with the people yeah i i agree with that i also think sorry clem i also
think that i like how they do a lot of the storylines we were saying is that that it's
actually like almost they're all not all but, but many of them, some of their best episodes, episode three,
maybe not episode five so much, but last episode seven,
they're like standalones where if you just tell someone beforehand,
you're like, listen, here's the deal.
Zombies infect the world.
This girl's immune.
They're trying to use her to save the world.
And you go, go.
And you can do it.
Episode three, you can do.
Now she's not in it very much.
And then this one you can as well where it's like,
this is just a beautiful story.
Episode 3 is just a beautiful romance story.
Episode 7 I thought was just another beautiful romance story
where someone losing someone they love.
I think I would get overwhelmed.
And to preface this whole show, I've never seen The Walking Dead.
I actually have really never been too big into zombie content
until this show.
I think I would be overwhelmed
and would get kind of
almost drown in
and become numb to the idea
of just constant zombies
attacking all the time.
Where this is like
these the flashbacks
and these the romance
and the love that you see in this
is beautiful and incredible to me
i agree and i feel like they're also different kinds of zombies and in the walking dead which
you haven't seen you just said they're not as big a threat like they're a threat if you got a horde
of them or something but generally they're just mindless like walking around like you would see
zombies in media in the last of us last week when that zombie came into the halloween shop
it was running faster than fucking Usain Bolt.
These things are issues.
One of them is a huge issue.
So I do like that they're kind of showing you that.
And when we had the horde in the one episode where they came up from the ground, that was a fucking moment and a half right there.
So it's like you're saving the zombie moments for the big zombie moments.
I like that.
Yeah, right, right.
You're not overdoing it.
I think you said that in Walking Dead, they're very slow moving. I like that. Yeah, right, right. You're not overdoing it. I think you said that in Walking Dead,
they're very slow moving and things like that.
I think that's what turns me off to them
because the only thing I've ever liked aside from this
is World War Z.
I love World War Z.
Super fast zombies.
I think the slow moving is just like,
I don't know, man, just walk kind of fast away
and be done with this
like that that doesn't scare me as much as like oh they can fucking cruise is a different story
yeah and clem has been generally a pussy in this show just to be honest if we're being honest
anytime he sees his zombie fights he hits mute on his tv he just hits mute and he watches on
closed captions why because i Because I'm scared.
I'm a scared person.
Rob's throwing the P word around a little.
There's been a little friction in the basement.
There has been.
Yeah, I brought Feidelberg into this.
This is like when a relationship is going sour and I'm like, let's try a threesome.
Let's get it.
Exactly.
Feidelberg, I think, has been in that exact situation in his life.
At least when I said he's a quarter out of podcast.
Me and Clem have been yelling at
each other for food takes he tweeted me a picture of khabib choking out mcgregor i tweeted back to
giants boat picture things usually don't get that contentious in the base you started that with the
sandwiches yeah he started calling on my dozen answer too so like don't wait by the way i'm
i i actually i i pretty I pretty rarely talk to Dave.
And I text to Dave about that.
I'm like, dude, I'm in the trenches right now about this yodel business.
This is crazy.
Fights, Dave told me that.
Dave in the green room was like, Fights doesn't text me.
Fights hasn't texted me in four fucking years.
He texted me about this.
If people don't know what we're talking about, go check out the dozen and viva list tool and all
of that it's a whole thing but let's get into the last of us we start with that religious
prayer circle which immediately we're like all right what are we getting into here there's a
girl crying and we find out later it's because her dad was the one that we saw killed and everything
the town is super low on food and joel is not doing too good so ellie goes try to tries
to hunt falls flat on her face get some clicking sounds if you watch some closed captions i saw
fights tweeting about i was very much like oh my god i see clicker getting afraid we were told
before the episode too by mutual friend justin kroll this one's going to be super creepy so i
was very much like we're going to get a creepy zombie scene. Different direction. But she finds those two townspeople.
She negotiates, and they kick off the episode with that.
That was the clicking was a – because, again, I'm closed captions.
And even when I saw the captions, then I tuned in.
I still – I could kind of hear it at that point.
I was still not positive what it is.
There does seem to be some debate, at least in my mentions on twitter about whether it's um someone said it was the deer's hooves
which i mean he's in a couple inches of snow i'm not i'm not buying clicking on that yeah someone
else said that the other guys were using antlers and they were rattling those which is a hunting
technique which i actually did know about um and they were like rattling those but that's rattling see i even i even just instinctively said rattling that that's not
that's rattling no maybe in the show where they're using the term clickers i don't think
closed captions would make that like frodi and slip and say that if they didn't mean it
so we heard that it was going to be a creepy episode right i turned it on last night captions
just weren't working for me and i'm a mute guy during
creepy episodes so i was like motherfucker i'm going out and listen we're gonna talk like this
was the worst the worst version of creepy possible this episode ended up being but it wasn't the kind
i needed the mute for so i'm kind of happy because i was i was blind so i didn't even know this whole
this whole clicker thing but another thing that confused me i didn't realize that they were
talking about the guy from the college that he killed.
Like they didn't make that abundantly clear. Right. Like I felt like I was more of a reveal later on.
OK. And even then it wasn't bashed over heads like I thought it might be the case.
And then by the end, I was like, I'm pretty sure that I still didn't know when the credits are in.
I'm like, I think that's what they were talking about this whole time.
Oh, oh, I figured it out because i was i was watching with my mom i was back home and um the uh she's not the greatest television watchers
they're they're new adapters to primetime tv and um i had to i i have to explain a lot to her
and so when they're sitting by the fire they're waiting for um i think they might have been joe i forget um to go get the
medicine yeah yep um the uh when while they they're waiting for him that i i i got it then i hit pause
and i was like so you understand what's happening right like because he says like you know everything
happens for a reason i sent four people out only three came back a crazy man killed one i i put
that together pretty fast and maybe that's because i had to i knew i was
going to explain things to my mom so i was zoned in but um i i i got it right there i was like oh
shit it's it's the guy they killed the guy's neck they broke i might be slow too i'm fully fully
gonna put that one out there potentially also like it is kind of uh i don't know it's not really a
trope but i feel like it has kind of become the case. Like, a preacher guy leading
a group of villagers, you're like, sus. Sus list
immediately.
Once you say he was a teacher, the teacher to preacher
to pedophile is about the trajectory
you go.
That is
how it goes.
The game of life, I think, it's like you do like the
fast lane and it's just like, if you want to just do this,
you can go teacher, preacher, predator predator you're fucking there yeah his right
hand man by the way in this episode he's got that guy with a beard that's kind of his guy the whole
episode is the voice of joel in the video game i thought that was cool they're kind of giving a lot
of the video game actors uh roles in this show and people are speculating that the girl who does
the voice of ellie in the game will be in the next episode in potentially a big role people are speculating that the girl who does the voice of Ellie in the game will be in the next episode in potentially a big role.
People are saying,
I do think those are cool little nods and I haven't played the game.
I don't know anything about the game.
So this is all brand new to me.
This is,
I don't know what's coming.
I don't know what could possibly happen next,
but I am willing to declare this far and away.
Video game people are worse than book people.
Oh, about the references and stuff like that
like like everyone like the book was the game was better this happened this like in i watched
eight season of thrones whatever it was a handful of people maybe over the eight year span maybe
five people tweeted me something about the book and maybe that's because it's less popular than
the game was but i am constantly inundated with people telling me how things went down in the game versus how they happen in TV.
So earlier when I was like just laughing at you, you're like, sorry, I wasn't trying to interrupt you.
I just was laughing because I was like, I feel like we get a good Feidelberg rant about people correcting him from zombies to clickers.
It's like, I don't give a fuck that've said we say it every episode we're like zombies all right i know we didn't say clickers apologies but because we're
like trying to keep the people on our side we'll also let them know we're like already fed up with
it even though we haven't been corrected that many times so far you know what's crazy i've somehow
become a clicker guy i i was just fully on the fence i was very strongly in the beginning i was
like i'm calling them fucking zombies because they're obviously fucking zombies and somewhere along the way i saw the light and i
say clickers all the time i will say this it does distinguish like it makes you feel better about
because it's like i don't watch a zombie show i watch a clicker show because those those zombies
they are the lazy bastards that walk so slow and And the reason I've never been a Walking Dead person or really any zombie show, because like back in 2013, it was all about zombie apocalypses.
You remember that was like, how would you survive?
And it was kind of like with Bacon, where it got so annoying.
It was like, all right, I'm out of zombies altogether.
I never got into any of that zombie shit.
So the fact, I only got into the show because Bob was like, dude, I think this is going to be big.
And I was like, I don't think so, man.
I don't know if we should recap.
He goes, it's the 9 o'clock slot on HBO.
I go, I'm in, you motherfucker.
Because that's – I always say that is the fucking quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys
when it comes to, like, the show.
You put that at 9 p.m. on HBO on Sunday night, I'm fucking in.
If anyone says –
I don't have a choice.
Yeah, exactly.
You're going to drop my hands.
I got to watch it.
Dude, I'll say this, dude.
Not only am I going to become a clickers guy, I say cordyceps all the time.
I saw you had a tweet about that.
He's like, I think we're getting cordyceps battle in the finale.
I was like, fights is using the big words now.
We all do it.
We're calling ourselves the nerds.
Yeah, we're calling ourselves nerds.
We're saying zombies.
You're like, fellas, it's cordyceps.
Get it right.
Dude, I didn't even have to Google how to spell it.
I knew everything.
I was like, cordyceps, cap C, cordyceps. I got dude I Didn't even have to google how to spell it I knew Everything I was like cordyceps cap C
Cordyceps I got it don't worry about it
That's one of my favorite things about KFC
Is how he sticks to his his rules and he
Never breaks them because he's like I don't use
Apostrophes I don't think he's using apostrophe
Ever
He's like I'm calling it
WWF the rest of my life still calls it WWF
Not WWE Giancarlo Stan
He just calls Mike Stanton every single time You cannotF, not WWE. Giancarlo Stanton, he just calls Mike Stanton every single time.
You cannot get that guy to say Giancarlo
Stanton. Kevin also,
this is back in the day. It doesn't happen so often
anymore. Doesn't use the letter O.
He uses zero instead.
I always hit zero. I don't know why. Is that real?
That's absurd.
It's a bad behavior.
Heavy blogging. Kevin would
always just have zeros all over the place
i was laughing on i was agreeing with everything clem was saying up until the zero thing that's
absurd you should be put on a watch list for that um k margaret came to me at one point and was like
is there some reason you're doing this like is it a bit or because he was like editing my shit and
i was like uh what are you talking about he's like every single blog every day at least one blog has a zero i've had the same thing
with rico he puts spaces sometimes like next to commas and like uh periods i'm like he's i'm like
it's not the rule he's like no no i don't understand it just appears there i'm like
i can't even argue with that you just you have to let it be so i know porno does the same thing he has like the seven spaces in between his tweets that
dude i i can't imagine that dave is actually that old but i think it's because it can't be this it
can't be this that when you use typewriters you had to double speed to hit space point
it can't be that yeah it can't be that right but i know that's what i know it's typewriter
because he says his his mom was an english teacher right and that's like where it came from so maybe
it comes from her so it's like a passed down thing maybe he wasn't the one on the typewriters
but he was told that growing up maybe it's something like that back to the last of us
ellie shoots a deer she tracks it down i
felt so bad i love seeing deer so i was like ah fuck i i'm such a pussy with that sydney wells
would hate me and she tracks it she sees the two uh preacher dudes watching over it she negotiates
for medicine penicillin with them but they turn heel on her quickly and they're like all right
we're gonna follow her tracks and just go fucking slaughter that man tomorrow or bring him to justice the preacher doesn't want to kill him
everyone else is like we're gonna kill these people for killing our guys preacher even in
this moment i didn't trust him he's trying to be trustworthy he's trying to say he's the cool guy
there was no way for a second i was going to trust him in this episode he had me for a bit
i'll admit and i'm embarrassed to admit it, by the fire when she says,
when Ellie says, what do you do, some kind of weird cult thing?
And he kind of giggles.
He goes, oh, you got me there.
It's pretty standard Bible stuff, but I am a preacher.
I was like, ah, all right.
He might be so-so.
Now, obviously, I have my antenna up with everybody in this show,
but I wasn't – I was 50 was 50 nah maybe not even 50 50
i'll say i was 70 he was bad 30 he might be good and and i quickly changed but for a while there
i wasn't 100 convinced when he were you when he said like this isn't code words i want you to get
the medicine and he brought the medicine back i was like all right i'm sold to this guy and i
heard a lot of people saying like in the video game you like you do missions with this guy you like you fight clickers with
this guy so you like have to rely on him and you really do become like friendly with him
and when he betrays you it really does hurt so i i was in um i actually like is like that that's
interesting you say betrayal because one of the lines that that bothered me from an earlier episode
was um and maybe that's kind of what they were referring to maybe it was a nod like that um without spelling out the tv show
um i believe her name was maria tommy's wife um and she tells ellie when she's cutting her hair
she's like you don't trust me that's good you can only be you can only be betrayed by the people
you trust and i thought that was going to come into play in the episode it didn't um but maybe that's what this is coming to i i feel like that was such a line and they
feel like that line felt like a moment that i thought it was going to have to come up at some
point and i guess maybe this could be it or maybe it happens in the future so that was the line i
was going to use when bob decided to point to devil dogs and wrote sandwiched as his caption
and i couldn't find the exact line.
And I was like, that's perfect.
Like I was just portrayed like that was a completely unnecessary tweet.
And I respect that you're keeping the dozen on our feeds and everything here.
Play with the joke.
It's just like, you know, someone else does that.
I truck it up.
My guy, Bob, I'm in the basement every fucking week.
And this guy's stabbing me with a fucking rusty knife.
I'm kind of fucked up.
We did say this, John, though.
You brothers. stabbing me with a fucking rusty knife i'm kind of fucked up we did say this john though you brothers like the way that his fucking brother was just saddled up having sex in like fucking
70 degree cabin as his brothers in boston just trying to like survive that's kind of like wouldn't
you look for your brother and try to get him there bro not only not even look for my brother i'd at
least answer his radio calls like if he's spending every night trying to get in
touch with like hey bro i'm safe there's a pretty sweet commune out here if you're interested in
being a communist we got a pretty sweet setup with movie theaters and shit like maybe maybe
try to get to wyoming if you're if you're not doing anything i would i would surely at least
acknowledge that by the way i didn't want to betray you like that clint but i parked my car
and there was a drake's truck next to where i parked my car i was like what are the odds of this i have to take a
picture so you know what there was a there was two drake's trucks sandwiching my car basically
that's why i said too i said i'm happy to use the giants picture because the curse of the boat has
been lifted this year i was like any met stuff would have crushed me he goes yeah mets mets
would have felt like it went too far i didn't like throwing the mcgray at you so whatever
it's water under the bridge.
Water under the bridge. I also love this
and I'm so happy you have fights because I know fights love this
too. When
Ellie kept calling him buddy boy.
Buddy boy, yeah. Such a great burn.
I love it. It's
so much worse than Guy
or Chief or any of those. Like, hey, buddy boy.
And she's like, and you, buddy boy.
Let him know. You're buddy boy now. She said it twice. She established it. That motherfucker hey buddy boy and she's like and you buddy boy like she said let him know you're buddy boy now she said it twice she established it that motherfucker was buddy
boy the rest of the episode for me i don't know what his real name was he would have been well
within his rights in civilized society if he shot her for that let alone
his fingers on the trigger just looking at the preacher like you're gonna fucking let this happen
buddy boy here.
Buddy is bad enough.
Oh, I know.
Disrespectful.
Yeah.
The preacher returns back and the girl, I think her name was Hannah, is like, you should kill them for what they did to my dad.
He walks up to her.
He smacks the shit out of her, which was like, okay,
we know exactly the kind of guy this is right away.
Yeah, that's where he lost by 30 percent there
he's smacking around a kid that dude couldn't handle one day as a parent and that wasn't even
his real kid he didn't even have her as a baby trust me dude it's so much harder like you had
the kid basically given to you on easy level at that point you just have to fucking just
wheel her out and just feed her every day man that guy isn't made for parenting man well speaking of
feeding her they feed the the cabin right did you guys have any light bulbs start going off when we know
they're low on food there's no deer out there but they're eating what are they eating i did i had i
had zero light bulbs i i did not think that at all so they said it was venison and they they did pan
on the meat and i'm like oh that's some very nice looking venison right there because i think that's
what it looks like i have no clue what it looks like. I have no clue
what it looks like.
You could feed me humans for the rest of my life.
I would have no fucking clue apparently.
I guess it's an argument for cannibalism
but all meat looks like meat to me.
The second I came out,
I thought it was odd how they prepared it where they just
threw it raw into the soup.
You gotta cook it first and then you put the
cooked meat in the soup.
I'm not a chef. I've not been to culinary school
I don't think meat cooks that way
I don't think you can just
Boil meat uncooked
Can I just say this too
I don't think I'm alone here
These people's manners were shit
No one said thank you when they were picking up the soup
Even if it was human
Venison whatever it was. No one said thank you when they were picking up the soup, even if it was human, venison, whatever it was.
Not one person said thank you.
And I understand 20 years of an apostle apocalyptic world breaks you down.
Matters is the core of your fucking existence.
Just one person could have said thank you.
This fucking whole church was built on fucking a house of cards to begin with.
That's why it all fell apart.
Clem, I'm really glad you brought up the manners thing
because I'm a big manners guy.
Particularly at dinner. I'm
a huge table manners guy.
The rattling of the
spoons and the blade. I would have
lost my
goddamn mind. I would have gone on a hunger
strike. I'm not eating if you're all
making this much noise. It's not happening around
here. It was just like
it was like they were feeding a pig pen. It was crazy. that were coming out of it it was it was you're at a
wedding and everyone's clinking their glasses trying to get the bride and groom to kiss
the worst part of the wedding by the way when people overdo that oh my god i hate when that's
overdone so the religious freaks are on to ellie they start tracking her she gives joel a knife
and she's like if someone comes down here you need to stay awake and you need to fucking kill them do whatever you can to survive i'm gonna go try to distract them
gets on horseback tries to shoot at them run away and stuff the horse gets shot which we've had a
lot of devastating deaths in this the last of us when i see a horse get shot it just rips the
fucking heart out of my chest like collie ma style the leader takes ellie he locks her up and then
one does wind up finding joel
he stabs him and this was such a fuck yeah moment for me like this was me and fights love our gerard
butler movies almost a gerard butler-esque moment of like yeah he's the man one man army go get this
girl back go get your baby girl back he tortures two of them the most savage scene of the episode
he threatens to fucking rip his kneecap
off knife in the knee i'll rip your kneecap off oh my god i went oh fuck yeah like i got jacked up
you're very right with the gerard butler you can even specify to a certain character it's a very
mike banning moment because banning loves fucking stabbing someone in the head loves it and when he
popped out and got him in the neck, I was like, let's go.
And then the knee, that was obviously a little nod,
a little throwback to the man Joel used to be.
But that was primo.
That was fantastic.
That was a great, great scene.
Shoving the knife in his mouth.
And he used that line earlier in the show with uh the the native on the reservation
point to it it better be the same spot they pointed to which is such a i would i would never
think of that i would never think to do something like that it's such a genius way to make sure
you're not getting lied to like here you you go over here you don't get to see what they just
pointed to you guys better point at the same fucking spot and then to kill him and go why
did you kill him he told you the truth don't worry
i believed him oh my god i was like cast pedro pascal is batman today i want him as batman now
so i i don't know my gerard butler movies as well as you guys do my notes i was like first i'm like
joel is basically joel mclean here he's he's bruce willis by himself and die hard trying to get out
of the building then i'm like oh no no no he's John fucking Wick at this point. He's just murdering motherfuckers.
And by the end, he was Creasy Bear.
He was Man on Fire, and he was
just ripping kneecaps off
and getting people to
spill the beans. And I can't
even blame these guys for being like...
I mean, at this point, you can tell these guys
were kind of sick of, I think, the preacher
shit. So it's not like they were protecting
their families and people they like. I think they were just like fuck it by that point so
also i have to ask this if you had it right now inject someone with penicillin i don't think i
would have went in the wound i would have went i would either went in like the arm like i would
have just done the arm there maybe the gut maybe fucking i i don't think i would have
in the heart but i don't like i think it would have been with thermit in the heart but i
don't like i think it would tell you don't even go near the wound i thought that i wouldn't know
what to do yeah i'd have i was i was very shocked and impressed that she had any idea the proper
amount of milligrams because like i i definitely wouldn't give him half a syringe i'd be like i
don't i don't know i'd probably i'd if i had to throw out a number i'd probably give them one-eighth of a syringe of penicillin i don't know what the proper way to
go is but she it it looked like too much penicillin to me i don't know what happens i don't know if
you can overdose on penicillin i'm not a doctor but that looked like too much penicillin i'll be
honest with you john i have like you know children's talent and stuff i don't even read the
back it's so small and i old eyes are so bad i just like the little guy he's smaller
than her we'll go about a quarter of the cup third of the cup actually bob cut this from the pot i
don't think i should be
is listening after that one also i was surprised she even knew how to use a syringe like a girl
that grew up post-apocalyptic world is like all right she know one she knows how to use a syringe
she knows how to use medicine two why didn't the other side just give her poison in the penicillin bottle be like here you go i
i question i wondered that myself why are you giving him action like give him give him morphine
like he'll overdose on morphine give him i don't know anything other than the thing that makes him
stronger the one thing he needs someone killed your boy be like we should we should make sure
he's back to full strength pretty quickly it's like that like a side effect of too much penicillin as you become
a superhuman fucking gerard butler movie character they fuck that one up pretty badly yeah they do
lock ellie up they put her in a little prison and she sees something that shocks her and it's like
what the hell does she see on the floor that has her that shook? It's a fucking ear. They are eating people.
These are religious cannibals.
She can't believe it.
She realizes, oh, my God, I might be next to be eaten.
The preacher tries to reason with her.
And I wrote it's like a weird ass Vader Luke Skywalker thing where he's like, join me and we can rule the galaxy together.
Just you and me will be partners in this and it's like dude at the end of the day like you are like a dude with a full tribe of adults and you're talking to this 12 year old
girl like you and me are the truth but he's obviously a creep we learned that later on
she lures him in breaks his finger which i was rooting for i said lure him and break his fucking
finger me and ellie same wavelength that's the the kind of like kid move the only thing you can do
and they go to chop her up, but she pulls the infected card.
No, no, I'm infected.
You can't do that.
And you're infected now too.
Cause I bet you fucking hatchet some guy in the throat.
That was the Joel from the video game.
Hatchet in the throat, run away.
He called her the C word too.
Let's not bury the lead there, Bob.
Called like a 12 year old the C word.
That was, I was like, oh, this guy means business.
I also, so at this point when he's like, we can build this together,
I was on the same thing.
Maybe it's because of the nerd.
I'm like, is he fucking trying to like recruit Luke Skywalker here?
And then I did the, oh, or he's looking to like,
looking for a wife here basically.
Like a wife, yeah.
From like, and that's when I started really being like,
we're in trouble and it's not because there's ears on the ground right now.
Yeah, that's the least of our worries. I don't know if he says we can multiply or we can grow or some of that he
says something that implied we're gonna have a family together and it was like oh you're a
pedophile i don't know what age what age is she supposed to be i know the actress is 19 i don't
know i don't know i would guess like 14, 15.
That's exactly what I thought.
Yeah.
I pictured her in that realm.
So yeah, I'm going to throw the hard P on him.
Pedophile.
Yeah.
Pedophile.
He's not suing the blog.
He's not suing Kevin for that.
The Bella Ramsey has been unbelievable every episode.
She's been great.
But that scene in particular right there and what comes later, I thought was an
absolute masterclass. When she does
the, she's kind of almost weepy,
injured, like she's kind of
whispering, like, Ellie, it's Ellie.
And then he kind of turns around at the door,
like thinking she's opening up, telling
him, oh, this is what I
am. You asked for my name earlier, it's Ellie.
She goes, tell him it's ellie
who broke your fucking finger i was like again like stand up let's go kid let's go she earned
herself the emmy in that moment right there it's like yeah bella ramsey's getting an emmy for this
show pedro pascal's getting an emmy for this show the two bill and frank are probably both getting
guest star emmys for this show just why don't you line them up just ship them right to their address now we don't even need to do the award ceremony or
anything joel starts searching for ellie and this is the moment where you think like all right here's
joel's big moment he's gonna kick in a door and save the day right but no he can't he sees people
skinned hung up decapitated it's all fucked up looking um ellie and the preacher in a burning
building she throws a thing at him lights it on fire so i think even like all right the smoke
will tell joel that's where she is and he'll be able to get in but ellie is the only one that can
save herself is what uh craig mazen the show creator said in the after the show special he
said he she's the only one that can save herself in this moment she does from pure unadulterated violence.
This preacher tries to rape her and she fights back and she stabs this motherfucker with the hatchet
1,000 times, blood spraying all over her own face.
She escapes the gas and everything.
And then I have chills on my arm,
literally talking about this moment.
Joel hugging her from behind and saying,
it's okay, I got you, baby girl.
The same thing he used to call his daughter 20 years ago, the same words he hasn't spoken
in 20 years and her just being like, he, he hugging him.
That was like one of the greatest moments in television right there.
That was incredible.
That was, that was fantastic.
And like the, the juxtaposition between the two scenes where basically Ellie's in hell
Ellie's literally in hell
she's in there with a preacher pedophile
the building's on fire
it is her own version
of a living absolute hell
and she battles her way out of it
and with as you said
you know what
he deserved it but I'm going to say it
it was too many stabs it was there were one
one third of the way in i was like this is a lot of stabs and then she
three x that was so many goddamn stabs i was afraid she was gonna burn alive she was spending
so much time in the room stabbing him it became a family guy bit and you're just like he just kept
doing it over and over again look at your watch it's like all right this has been
legitimately 15 minutes it was when cave on tibetan kept doing the snow angel next to dick
falls he was like convulsing i was like all right this has officially reached family guy bit this is
the same exact thing fights you're 100 right but the ending then then to end it with the the reunion
was like that was probably maybe the most powerful moment in the show so far.
Yeah, it was.
I still think I wasn't scared until I met you, gets me,
from Bill and Frank.
But, yeah, that one's definitely up there for sure.
I watched it like three times before we went live,
like the last like
20 seconds or whatever the show and fights i don't know how like we haven't i've gotten into
the youtube review game with shows now where i watch like a little 20 minute youtube just to
kind of people people actually know what they're talking about breaking things down and they've
mentioned things like joel looks at his watch every time ellie does something that reminds him
of his daughter and shit and that watch it broke the day remember she fixes the watch in episode one sarah fixes the watch gives
it to him then it breaks that day basically when she dies so his life basically ended at that moment
time stops for him so he and they said like in this season he's always looked at his watch whenever
she does something that's kind of sweet or you know kind of like bringing out the guy he used to
be and
then when he says fucking baby girl i got you which is what he called so i'm getting goosebumps
just talking about it right now man that is i i don't know top three moment of the show i think
the bill and frank has a moment that has a moment i don't know man like to have that moment in this
episode this fucking show man and all that being said tell me if this is crazy I'm starting to think I'm team fungus now
Because it's
The humans that are giving us
All these fucked up moments
Like that fucking preacher dude
Is a fucking asshole he doesn't deserve to be on this world
In this world
The fungus takes better care of its people
Excuse me what are they called John
The cordyceps
The cordyceps?
Cordyceps.
The cordyceps?
Like, fucking remember Tessie was trying to go into her mouth and just – like, they're just fucking trying to make each other live.
That cordycep isn't going and trying just to kill the other cordyceps.
It's trying to just grow the species.
Where we have these fucking –
every week I just meet more people that just make me realize how awful humanity is.
So I'm telling you, man, I might be hashtag Team Fungus.
It is. It I'm telling you, man, I might be hashtag team fungus. It is.
It's not ideal.
I'm going to stay team humanity for now.
Thank you.
Me too.
I'll be on there with you.
There is, I think the preacher, if that's who you want to side with,
I believe he makes a comparable argument that he doesn't blame Cordyceps.
He thinks the Cordyceps is a, looking
after its own flock, yada yada, he understands
on an intellectual level, the Cordyceps
I
I guess, I
kind of do, but I
think that there is enough
good in humanity, and I'm sure
there will be some downfall, but I forget the name of the
town, where Tommy lives
you can still see the good in humanity there whereas maybe out on the fringe you get the which which
actually is a nice little uh uh microcosm of life where in in in society you got your good people
and then on the outside on the fringe is where you kind of find the lunatics but i think in in
the towns they're they're still good and me, to be clear, I understand.
That's right.
The preacher did say that.
He's also part of Team Humanity.
So he's not on my team in this.
He's still on your guys' team.
I'm going to be on the fungus team that just has the guys growing out of walls and shit.
But it's like I'm starting to feel like the fungus is the good guy of the show.
And I'll tell you who agrees with me.
All the animals, all the plants.
They're just like, you got these fucking assholes finally
to stop murdering us and taking over our land i'm starting to feel i like i'm feeling like
tommy when he realized like he's a communist i'm starting to realize i'm like anti-human
yeah as i talk about it so we talked about tommy's town go ahead i was gonna say this
is a thanos had some good ideas pod yes clemens thanos is right guy but we were
talking about tommy's town a few weeks ago and i said if i were in this post-apocalyptic world
i would make it my goal to hunt down movies and open up a movie theater like this like try to get
popcorn for people and then play like et followed up by indiana jones followed up by the departed
like the greatest movies of all time that people haven't seen in this world.
What do you think you would try to do as a job if you were in The Last of Us?
Let's say you made it to Tommy's town and they were like,
all right, you're in like kind of a safe society.
Now like do something for work.
Bob, I have zero skills.
I would probably, I'd be like, you guys interested in podcasts?
And if they said no, I'd say, that's cool.
I'll go on sewage duty because that's about the two things I can offer you.
Fair enough.
Maybe they would be interested in podcasts, though.
That would be fun, going to a live podcast in a post-apocalyptic world.
Yeah.
So I don't even know what I'd say. That'd be fun. Going to a live podcast in a post-apocalyptic world. Yeah. Like,
like,
so,
uh,
I don't even know what I'd say.
Like,
and you answer the internet questions.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Would you,
would you rather be locked in a room with two cordyceps or have fungi for
fingers?
You know,
I have one for you guys.
Actually.
I wrote this note down.
Would Bob,
would you kill a deer or eat like a little piece of
cochumen oh kill it with your bare hands kill it i'm not a cannibal clem i'm not a i'm not a
cannibal i'd have to kill a deer i was hoping we'd get like a sound clip of you saying you're a
cannibal again there's a little bit of a war in the basement i love deer but like i'm not more
than human come on um so For the finale next week.
A human died of natural causes.
He's already dead.
You don't have to kill him.
He's a tasty human.
But I know it's a human going in.
I know the piece of meat I'm putting in my mouth is human.
He's a little curious right now, right?
Aren't you a little bit?
How was that soup?
Yeah, they didn't seem to be complaining.
That was like a happy rattle with their spoons.
Like, oh, this is some good fucking meat right here, Bob.
If it was just one bite, just one bite.
One bite.
Everyone knows the rules.
Everyone knows the rules.
Just one bite.
Maybe I'd do it.
Post-apocalyptic world.
Anything goes.
You know, it's not this world.
Yeah, we were saying that with the guys up in the Andes.
They ate some people and they were welcomed back into society.
You do what you got to do to survive, right?
Yeah.
Was it a Cuban soccer team?
Colombian soccer team?
I forget.
Maybe Argentinian.
Yeah, there was a plane crash in the Andes Mountains,
and they were there for 72 days, I think.
And they ate the guys who died.
Oh, my God.
Is that alive?
That's alive, right?
Yes. What's alive? Oh oh they made a movie about it i always i always think like i mean obviously it's a lot different now
with penn but if like barcelona went under and like those of us that wanted to like pursue roles
in like sports media they would treat us like they treated the cannibals like they just did
whatever they had to do to survive to you know get the paychecks but you know they're good people at heart like you know the really bad guys we don't want to
hire them but like clem was a nice guy you know we need a giants writer so we'll take him in
i wanted to ask with the ending of this episode with i got you baby girl how does that change
their relationship going forward because i did kind of enjoy their back and forth, where he was kind of the grumpy old man.
She was the girl trying to win him over.
At this stage, I think it's safe to assume he's been won over.
When he's dropping lines like that,
it's hard to go back to the grumpy, crotchety guy
when we now know what he feels for her.
And we've known all along, but not,
but now she knows.
Yeah.
Now it's been almost explicitly said,
like,
I love you.
I'll do anything for you.
You'll do anything for me.
Like,
you know,
she had a chance to get out of there and go on her own.
And,
and she had a chance to get out of there and just let the Raiders find him
and kill him.
And now they,
they both know what each other will do for each other.
They're,
it,
it, it will almost be disingenuous to keep playing those two characters now
where you're like, oh, you know, grumpy guy.
I got this burden of this young girl with me that I don't want.
You want it.
Now we know you want it.
Now we know this is who you are as a man who loves his little girl.
I'm kind of excited to see this dynamic now in the last episode, which I think is
how the first
video game wraps up, right?
The way it's trending here, which I don't
know the video game. I've never played it, but that's just what I've
heard. So I would love to see...
I got a tweet today that said...
Actually, you know, I got multiple tweets, which
are tough to decipher which is real and which isn't.
But I had one that stuck out
because I tweeted about the clicking in the woods and someone said if it ends the way the first game
ends whoa boy or something along those lines i don't know exactly what it was but that was
so i i going back i tried to play the game when it first came out like everyone was like oh this
is the new game i bought a playstation 3 for it started playing it and i was like all right i'm clearly bad at video games because i fucking suck
at this so i just went on youtube and watched all the cut scenes and i swear watching this show i
remembered the first episode like oh i remember playing that in the video game i didn't remember
anything after it and i do remember the ending so i'm not going to say anything i obviously won't
spoil it for anyone out there i do sort of remember the ending and I'm very much looking forward to next
week's episode.
I can't believe it's already the ending.
Like it feels like we said earlier,
like nine episodes feels quick.
I think the finale is only 43 minutes,
which I was really bummed about.
Yeah.
I don't like hearing that,
but if you're,
if you're giving us great content,
I would rather be short than drag.
You know what I mean? I'd rather go. All right. I right i want more of that we know we're getting season two on deck then all
right i was ready for that to end by by you know the time is over but i do think like you said the
dynamic will change and joe will go more of a from more of a grumpy person to more of a like
desperate father doing anything to save this girl and like you even look at her the wrong way you're getting
your kneecap torn off right right oh fuck so we're gonna get more creasy bear i am signed the fuck i
think we might yeah i feel like joel is gonna be full-on like and i i don't know anything about
the last of us two or what season two will hold but i feel like season two could be like joel and
ellie against the fucking world and they're like absolute savages out there not
like cannibals but just like you know with their with their tactical skills not like you rob you
you would eat not like me yeah but you know they were they were there for no she she did throw the
food away she was like you're eating people you motherfucker i was like maybe she ate a bite while
she was there she didn't i can't wait for the finale next week, though. Fights, thank you for joining us.
Do you have any predictions for next week?
I saw you said the quarter set battle.
I'm going quarter set battle in the woods.
I know those big battles, at least going back to Thrones,
those are usually used in the penultimate.
The final finale usually isn't for the big battles.
You know, Battle of the Bastards and fucking Helms Deep and all that shit.
That was the second to last.
But I'm holding out
hope that we get
at least, it doesn't have to be a war,
but at least a good fight
with some cordyceps, with some clickers.
That's what I'm
hoping for. We'll see.
Does this show make you
look at mushrooms different?
No. I like mushrooms. I don't think so either. I saw Pedro Pascal said the same thing. Pedro is on Seth Meyers the other night does this show make you look at mushrooms different? No,
I like mushrooms.
I saw Pedro Pascal said the same thing.
Pedro is on Seth Meyers the other night and he was like,
nah,
I still love mushrooms.
I don't like the real ones.
I like the other one.
Oh, you don't like the real ones.
I love the real ones.
Oh no,
I don't care.
No heavens.
No,
no,
I don't like the texture,
but a mushroom that'll make me fucking see God.
Yeah.
I fuck with those. Clam. i think i've been saying fights i feel like the difficulty
has been on easy where in the video game you just we're not seeing any of these clickers i feel like
we're going like four out of five this episode next episode it's going to be some weird shits
coming out maybe like a creature we haven't seen before i guess we had the bloater right we got one or two i would love to see another bloater or something like that um
but i want to see an even fatter bloater i want to see just the fattest infected person i could
possibly say i thought the bloater didn't quite translate to television i thought i i get it in
a game where you kind of have to have a boss I thought it looked a little silly on TV
it was huge
it wasn't you know it wasn't a huge detriment
it didn't do much either
yeah right
I guess this thing is ripping heads open so we did
see that which I guess was that was cool yeah
the game yeah that was cool
but I thought when like everyone else was around
like they swell up or something
like that I didn't really understand like fully wrap my head around why he was so much
bigger i guess i think as things grow they get bigger isn't really all that logic it needs that
is how how things work yeah i was gonna ask robbie his prediction i remember he's seen the ending so
i guess we can get it bob hey what happens yeah i of like, yeah. I have like a broad strokes ending.
So like I'm still going to enjoy it,
and I think I'm still going to be surprised by things throughout the episode,
but I just kind of like know the way they'll wrap it up.
But after the show wraps up, I will go back,
and I'm going to play the game on stream for people to be able to watch.
I've been thinking, I usually like once a year,
I'll dip my toe into video games before I accept the fact that I suck at it when they pass me by um i'm about due for another toe dipping and uh i might i
might give it a whack i might see if i do the last i did the last game i tried was red dead redemption
and and bro i couldn't figure out how to squat behind the building it was i couldn't i couldn't
i didn't get past like i don't even think I was at a level, technically. I think it was, like, the intro to the game, and I couldn't get past it.
Yeah, that's kind of how I am with video games, too, to be honest.
So The Last of Us will be interesting, me trying to make my way through that.
The fight's annual trying to play video games, or it's at least a semi-annual, like, once every two, three years now.
That was always one of my favorite running things here in barcelona running franchises so
it's nice to know you might you're twitching shit i'm gonna be fucking yeah
and then i'll and then i'll i'll quit pretty quick well you better catch up i was gonna say
you got nick who's a nerd him and you know you got kfc playing every fucking video game under
the sun assassin's creed and spider-man and shit yeah you're you're now the odd man out for not being a
nerd in that kfc radio studio that sick fuck nick's gonna have like a full intro and all these
different graphics for you by the time like we're done with this episode man so you're like don't
you start like throwing things out there fights unless you can keep these promises and nick is
like that's actually perfect that you'll play the last of us because i already have a 3d model of
you as a bloater all right thank you for tuning into this last of us recap i cannot wait for the finale do we
