Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Bum-bum! Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3C and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox, or if you're watching on YouTube, The Mandalorian, along with my co-host, Clem. We are here to recap Chapter 20 of The Mandalorian, The Foundling, directed by Carl Weathers. This was a short episode after last week being the longest episode of Mando ever, 58 minutes. We only got 30 minutes this week,

but we spent a lot more time with The Mandalorian himself, Grogu. We even got Grogu's backstory. I loved it. Felt like we were back on the vibes that I want from this show Clem what did you think I had fun I saw 30 minutes again as an old that has a absolutely crippled attention span due to the internet and social media I'm like all right I could do this and I won't screw it up so I was very happy we get we kind of hit a lot of notes there a lot of fun

I'm also at the point where with the last episode the more i think about it i'm fine if they want to use the mandalorian where they just throw 30 minutes of mando stuff throw another 20 minutes of basically like another show that they would love to do but they just want to kind of lump it in there they know already dialing in if it's going to be better quality than maybe some of another star wars some of the other star wars shows we have like throw it in the mando and i i'm still convinced that the reason we have short episodes like today and episodes like last week were only 30 minutes of Mando is because they had to fix the Book of Boba Fett

and they had to throw a bunch of good Mando stuff into that season. So I'm cool with it. It definitely could have been something like that. I do think, though, the last two episodes, there might have been better episodes in there if you made two 45 minute episodes like you said where you do half mando half the other stuff last week felt like it was i don't know 25 percent mando 75 percent dr pershing dr ken jack and this week felt like it was pretty much 100 percent mando but it was only 30 minutes so you

could level out those percentages some way i do think the season is off to a good start though i've seen some people saying it's off to a rocky start they don't know about it it hasn't had as much hype behind it as the previous seasons which is interesting i don't know what that is either maybe it's because the last of us had so much hype and we were finishing that with the finale around the time that this came back but i i definitely don't see as many people talking about mandalore in this season as last which upsets me obviously yeah that's actually a good point i didn't think about that um i it's like i guess we don't have as many epic moments maybe we'll get them in like the next few episodes before the season is over but yeah i guess that's a fair point i feel like we haven't hit maybe as many highs but

i i also didn't think we'd already have gone to mandalore i didn't think we'd have bow with all before the season is over. But yeah, I guess that's a fair point. I feel like we haven't hit maybe as many highs, but I, I also didn't think we'd already have gotten the Mandalore. I didn't think we'd have Bo with the crazy religious fanatics. So I feel like we're loading up the powder keg and powder keg is one of those old history words. We know world war one was a powder keg and Francis Ferdinand, Archduke Ferdinand getting his head blown off was the thing that made it explode.

Right, Bob? I think it's Franz Ferdinand yeah franz franz and today's episode 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 what's the best way to do that with 3g of course 3g has the highest quality cannabis products from their delicious Delta 9 edibles to their industry-leading Delta 8 products to their new line of Delta 9 O-vapes and everything in between.

And by the way, for the bill that can't see who are on the podcast, Robbie has his Mando hoodie on and it has like a helmet on it. I had a baby Yoda outfit that I was going to wear to Disney before we were told you cannot dress up. I'm think I might have to buy that.

Now we just do this as Mando and maybe, you know, the rest of the way here, because that is just an amazing visual. This the way and I gotta say although this is the way I can't leave it on the whole podcast I do have to take it off so I'm about to break the creed and I'll have to go back to the living waters of Mandalore which what what is that in our context is that like you gotta hop in the Hudson River? Just something where you're like, oh, my God, who would ever dare to do that? You have to go upstairs in the old Milton office and you have to go in the hole where the squirrel lived.

That is the dangerous thing that you have to put your life on the line for. Or no, like I guess just going up to the Milton office. It's probably if it's I love if it was just abandoned. And then like the squirrel is the mythosaur and you have yes i see the eye of it in the wall and it's huge now like the squirrel has been eaten on those wires since barstool left oh shit that would be funny all right yeah to be redeemed to get back to mandalore status i gotta go to milton the squirrel has survived on nothing but dave's old ice coffees that was one of the things that always stuck with me is dave we always

had like six half drunk uh i have drank ice coffees. That was one of the things that always stuck with me is Dave. We always had like six half drunk. I have drank ice coffees on his desk at any given time for every episode of the rundown. Like this guy just never finishes his ice or he probably finishes it. And the ice just melts. But that's the work of a mogul right there. Always moving, never worrying about throwing away his ice coffees.

So I think that is the answer to it. And the people who are relatively new to barstool have no fucking clue what we're talking about right now. They don't. It's the old office. Go watch the Barstool documentary that Dana Beers made. It's fantastic. And shout out to Dave. Happy birthday, Dave.

Our fellow Mandalorian Baby Yoda fan. Fellow nerd at Barstool who took us to Disney. Thank God he took us to Disney. Because if you would have gone to Disney with your kids like next month, saw Star Wars Land came back to the podcast told me about riding a Millennium Falcon I might have died you would have just showed up at the hotel be like oh you're here Clem like yeah probably tell you about this trip for like a year now you didn't know I was gonna be here you're like oh well uh where are we going first I got the uh lightning lanes loaded up here on Genie Plus and let's go check it out yeah that would have been tough but uh we got to do it did you see real quick before we get into the uh episode there was a guy who rode all 216 rides at

all 12 disney parks around the world in 12 days i saw that i read your blog on it insane and i didn't understand at first like how that was even geographically possible but i guess you do all of the florida parks in one day you do the california parks in one day insane something that like you said in your blog jeff d low is crying looking at that being like he lived out my dream yeah jeff d low is gonna ask that like he'll never admit it but we know jeff we know that we know so that he did that the first at least documented to do it put it all on twitter so an absolutely incredible story and uh yeah so there's gonna be a mando there has to be a mando ride at some point or some sort of a mando thing i feel they have to even if the star tours

like ride part of the star tours edition you could just film new stuff or cgi new stuff for star tours i said to you after watching this episode especially you might have seen in our disney boys video the lightsaber crafting experience at disney they could do that for a mandalorian helmet tomorrow but do you want people walking around in mandalorian helmets in your park you can't get the facial recognition or whatever i don't know if they want that maybe it just builds shoulder plates or something like that i just looked at that and i was like, you have someone dressed as the armor and you have them doing the voice

cues or whatever, like that would be made for Disney. Also, before we get into the episode, let's remind everyone to like this video and subscribe to the channel. Thank you for subscribing. And thank you to the Conor McGregor bump for getting us over the 40,000 mark.

I said at the beginning of the year, uh, 50,000 was the goal for the end of the year, and we made a big chunk in that, thanks to the Conor McGregor interview. And also, shout out Nick Hamilton, our Game of Stools friend. He gave me the heads up before I put the Conor interview out.

He's like, hey, why don't you record a quick message to put right before the McGregor interview, where you say, why don't you subscribe to My Mom's Basement? I said, Nick Hamilton, smartilton smart guy i mean the simplest suggestion he could have made but one that i never would have thought of if he had not made it you know and i think that did help so shout out nick hamilton shout out the mcgregor bump and shout out all of the my mom's basement listeners everyone that supports i tweeted this is a fun little nerdy corner of the basement for mma fans for comic book fans for movie fans and i appreciate everyone

coming down and having fun with us hell yeah man the basement boys and girls we love you all and again shout out nick nick hamilton's like i could either make like a crazy you know graphic to start it all take me three days or rob you just say subscribe so we'll take whatever we can get from nick he's a goddamn genius and like one of like the hardest workers at this company full of them absolutely all right let's get into chapter 20 the foundling like i said this was directed by carl weathers although we didn't get any grief karga in the episode he took a step back from acting and just focused on the directing and he nailed it it was his second episode of the series that he did i believe we start with the mandalorians training on the beach very cool scene just to see

how they're all training i was keeping an eye out to see anyone being like, and here's how you use the flamethrower. But nobody's practicing that because I think they don't know how to. No, Bob. So I was doing the same thing. I like it. Which one of you assholes? And they had a dueling flamethrowers. They flamed at each other.

You know, I didn't see that. I missed it. Yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't even lying enough. You were looking at the background and it was right in front of your face. They were, and it was like, they, they couldn't, they did at the same time. So you really couldn't do anything about it. And I was fucking, I was geeking out cause I was calling it out.

And then we had dueling flamethrowers and you know what? It did absolutely no damage. Like the flamethrower always does in this goddamn show. And I'm also throwing this as like a little checkoffs wrestling. Like I do feel like this fighting we're gonna see this exact scenario play out at some point and if we do get one of those epic moments down the road and they were doing some real moves like some real judo kind of arm throws and i was thinking like the stuntmen learning these moves in mandalorian helmets must

be a trip like trying to keep those on they must have them chin strapped on or something like that but yeah that's the issue with trying to write notes as i watched the episode i'm sure i looked down and as i was writing mandalorian's training on the beach i missed two flamethrowers going at each other so right after we're done with this i'm going to go back and re-watch it i loved grogu also just playing with the rocks that wound up being crabs just chilling on the beach reminded me so much of just a normal baby that's what what a baby does on the beach. You plop them down. They feel the sand. They're like,

this is cool. They pick up a rock. Maybe they pick up a sand crab. There you go. I've never been a big beach guy. It's just the heat. And I like swimming in the ocean or whatever. Having kids at the beach,

you just put them down for eight hours. They are completely, they're pretty much safe. They're right in front of you. And they could just keep themselves occupied for hours. It is best and i'm sure even mando's like all right i could just put this kid down and he's not going to get in too much trouble and i think we were all thinking is he moving these rocks with the force right now right and i'm trying to figure out because it's not really going where he's looking however i'm gonna go if you realize

the little crabs left once he was done i'm to feel like he drew them in with the force. He fucking, right? It's a living thing. I like that. The fact that they all just knew to leave once he left, that's what I'm saying. My boy's leveling up, and we don't even see it. And the hermit crab, like I call them the hermit crabs.

Did you have hermit crab? Was that one of your pets growing up? I did. If you grew up on the Jersey Shore boardwalk, you pretty much have to have have hermit crab was that one of your pets growing up i did if you grew up on the jersey shore boardwalk you pretty much have to have a hermit crab at least one summer and i had one with a it was black shell batman logo painted on it kind of just the yellow classic batman logo and we took them to a hermit crab race and my hermit crab raced once i think i won the first race and lost the second and you know didn't move on in the tournament but yeah hermit crabs on the Jersey shore,

such a staple. That is the most Jersey shore thing is that you took a living creature, painted a Batman symbol on, and they sold it to you. And then you race the fucking thing, probably for money. There was probably someone betting money on it along the way. That was like,

like I want to say third grade, everyone in the class got a hermit crab and everyone like brings it home. And I still remember you'd always put the extra shells in. Cause when they leave shells, that was like the coolest thing, how they would change their homes. And I fucking hated my hermit crab because he never changed his shell. I'm like, go to your home. Go to a bigger home. What are you doing, man? It made me so angry.

Mine never did either. It's funny you say that. Mine never changed its shell. And we had an extra one in there. They tell you you have to because it's just going to crawl out one day. Never fucking did. Yep. Never. never uh well i mean he had a fucking batman shell he's like i've already like you'd be like oh you're not a member of the fox family anymore you're not you're not a batman fan he just flushes down the toilet yeah he was in the

batmobile crawling around in his racing thing you know mando picks grogu up though he's like all right i'm not content with you just sitting here on the beach having fun with these crabs. It's time to train. And he actually says the words, like, if you want to be a Mandalorian someday. I'm like, oh, so he is going to be a Mandalorian someday. He's a foundling now. He's going to turn into, people say, you know, is he the Mandalorian? It's this whole show about Grogu, and that's who they're talking about is the Mandalorian. Possibly he's the first Force user to be in the mandalorian clan

whereas tar visla the original mandalorian was the first mandalorian to be accepted into the jedi order beautiful symmetry there it's kind of like poetry clem it rhymes so he picks him up he says it's time to train and he puts him against ragnar visla who i didn't realize at this point in the episode but it's actually uh paz visla's son the big bulky john favreau mandalorian it's his son so he says you pick the style of combat and they're like this fucking little baby's gonna battle he's like no no i'm his ward i allow this to happen so he's like all right dart battle let's do some darts and i'm like are we doing like whistling birds darts what kind of darts are we whistling birds darts? What kind of darts are we talking about?

You know? And it's kind of wrist gauntlets for sure. Wrist gauntlet darts, but kind of paintball essentially is what it looked like. Do you agree? Yeah. That's I said, paintball darts is what ended up being after I'm thinking lawn darts. What are we fucking doing with darts here? Like pub darts were throwing to like sharp things at my little sweet baby.

That's what I thought too. I was like, you're throwing sharp thing. Are you allowing the kids to throw sharp darts at each other but no it's paintball essentially they put a gauntlet on grogu and i guess this is just gonna have to be something we get over in the star wars universe with grogu in our lives but with the handcuffs and now with the gauntlet i'm like who is that gauntlet built for originally why did you have one the size of a baby's arm yeah because let's be honest here if like there's like you need to be able to say the creed to fight or whatever or i guess to have the helmet on like there would only be a baby it's unless you're gonna have a

creature the size of baby yoda that could be that small yet be older than a fucking infant it just wouldn't happen so i we're just i again just have to accept it we're in a galaxy far far away weird shit happened there's a million other things that are even less likely to be real so i guess we're just gonna have to live with it just gotta live with it they put the gauntlet on and he gets hit with the first two shots he's just like standing there clueless and mando tells him like i've seen what you could do show him it's fun you could let it let it fly jumps over him a couple times reminds me of yoda and attack of the clones hits him with three shots right in a row and i'm like oh my god ragnar was the worst combatant ever if

he didn't know you could rapid fire shots i mean grogu was just standing there for him he i thought it was you have to go one at a time no grogu hit him with three in a row and it was game over when he hit him with the two i was like that, that's two out of three, right? That's why we loaded up three darts, and it's like this game's already over, and then he hits him with the bum-bum-bum. Yeah, just terrible. It was almost like when Mando was talking to Baby Yo and was like, show him what you're doing.

You're going to understand this reference now, Bob. It was almost like my guy, Barry Manilow, going, bong, release the fury, Mitch. Release the fury! He's like, release the fury mitch release the fury like he's like release the furry baby yo i know you got this in you and i love seeing my guy fight i was absolutely terrified like a parent watching their kid like at little league or something however all right i'm gonna say this to you i'm gonna say it to all the listeners i know we're all fucking mando fans and we're all especially baby yoda fans the jumping looks silly it looks silly

but it's the second time they've done it they did it with pelimoto and they did it this time and if he's gonna be jumping like this in legit fights they have to make it stop looking so goddamn silly i know yoda did it cgi yoda did it they're just throwing a fucking muppet in the air right now and it looks i'm sorry Bob it looks silly I love the Guy it looks silly It looks silly but I think they're making a Conscious choice to make it look Silly I think they could do a CGI

Flip if they wanted to like I Think that's within the budget and realm Of possibility in the show look at the Pterodactyl fucking monster we're about To get to I think They want this to look so much like a puppet that even in the cg scenes they're like make this look way more practical make it look like a puppet so i go back and forth because i'm like did it look a little silly yeah but

that silliness has a warmth about it that just makes me feel all nice inside where i'm like star wars is practical effects yeah yeah no that's and that's fair i mean that's i think that's the charm of a lot of the stuff especially in the original trilogy is when that's all they fucking had for the most part yeah uh but i if like there's a monster moment and then just like i see the guy's hand coming for him he just throws a little baby you in the air i'm like i'm with you on it it does feel a little bit like you know the battle of winterfell was meant to be dark you know yeah i but i will ride with you guys i'm looking to start a fight already on the world baseball classic crazy's coming at me all week um i'm ready to rock with you guys let's fucking go just make it like if there's a big moment just make it look a little less so it's all masking

again it's cute when he's just fucking flying around big moment he fucking you know takes down the mythosaur i'm gonna be like fair enough yeah make it look a little better for a big moment like that a rancor moment look at that the basement we're coming together we're acknowledging our differences we've had we had the lego stuff we had the rhesus stuff we're finally finding a middle ground and fucking singing kumbaya together exactly so ragnar this kid he's defeated he's just like kicking dirt kicking rocks and he gets picked up by a pterodactyl monster this kid has the worst luck of all time last week he's trying to get baptized or not last week but you know last week in the mandalorian universe he tries to get baptized

in the water this big crocodile attacks him this week he gets defeated by a baby everyone laughs at him and they're like oh my god i don't even know that baby could fight and then he gets picked up by a pterodactyl so this kid i i do feel bad for him i like the line where someone says like did you teach that kid that amanda's like i didn't fucking teach him talking about luke teaching him for the 17 years that he was there we go or whatever the favera said and he just gets picked up by this giant pterodactyl they say don't don't fire because you know it'll kill the kid so they follow him on jetpacks but they don't have enough fuel to keep going and then we see bocatan was tailing the whole time and they get a very uh what is it

apocalypse now shot yeah like the ships come in and against the sun but going out it get a very, what is it, apocalypse now shot. Yeah. Like the ships come in against the sun, but going out. It was a very cool shot to send us into the Mando title card. Yeah, I have to admit it. That kid was kind of a punk when he's kind of like this fucking baby over here. And I didn't like him off the jump. I kind of would have loved it if going back to the Hermit Crab stuff, Baby Yoda summon the dragon. It was like, snatch this motherfucker.

Using the force, he's going, do-do-do going and he's bringing the dragon down to snatch this fucking punk bring him back to your nest so that's what i was kind of hoping for or i forgot that he did have at his baptism this giant fucking creature come out this giant alligator thing in the words of uh our friend kathleen i believe in the last of us like his story is basically written this guy is supposed to get murdered by a creature on your home planet maybe it's just meant to be let the fucking pterodactyls eat him or we're going to get another creature that's going to come for his ass so at some point um i i think the kid i don't want to say the kid deserved to die but i could understand the people that might say that that's all i'm gonna say and one of the mandalorians at this point said they always get away oh it always gets away like

that why do you guys live here what are you doing staying there if this is a constant issue you got the pterodactyls in the sky you got the crocodiles in the water what are you doing living in this one is that why the covert's so hidden because like nobody would dare to come to this crazy area i don't know. That's actually a fair point. I didn't think about that. Maybe, you know,

they are like religious fanatics. They're like the Lord wills it to be this way. It's like, no, you motherfuckers, the food chain wills it to be this way. And you guys should be higher on the food chain. Cause you have the technology to go as ever high as you want.

And like the fucking brains to be like, don't go near the water. Cause there's giant alligators that live there. Watch out out for the skies because there's pterodactyls coming down so yeah that is that is actually a very fair point bob i understand they kind of are up like they're in between the rock and a hard place they lost their home planet but there's other places to live outside of just this can't be the only cave in the fucking planet right no it can't be absolutely can't be so bo paz and din head out with a big crew of mandalorians on bo's ship while grogu stays behind with the armor and she starts forging a new piece for grogu and we eventually get a flashback

during this when i saw bo with paz with din jarin i'm flashing back to the book of boba fett right away are we forgetting thataz was such an asshole too and challenged Din Djarin to a duel and they fought over the Darksaber and all of that? He stepped out on the walkway, on the catwalk, and spaced and was in the background and everything. I get that. Listen, they're going to have their differences

and they're going to have to be part of the same creed, and that's a thing. Paz just, I don't know him him being friendly with not friendly but him just acting like that wasn't a thing the whole episode rubbed me the wrong way a little bit once much like bo i'm like i don't forget i don't forget the history behind these guys hand up i did forget about it like you said there's a lot of like first of all like you said the we haven't even this was our first year doing mando on youtube so it's been a long time since mando season two then we had

mando just randomly in bookable buffet i don't remember what happened in that what happened in the mando seasons i don't remember like what season one what season two i just remember a lot of shit going down do you want me to throw them on the sus list bob because i'll throw them on the sus list no fucking problem just do do me a favor and throw them on the sus list, Bob, because I'll throw him on the sus list. No fucking problem. Just do me a favor and throw him on the sus list. Just for this week, let's throw him on the sus list. Okay, because we'll look good if it comes in, and if it doesn't, it's like, it's fine. It's like we just had him in the tickler, as Big Cat always says,

the tickler file. He's in the tickler file now. You might be sus, motherfucker. And he had what I would call like a Peter Quill moment this week, where it's like, he just sent the game plan astray when everyone was like hey we're focused on doing this right now he was like leroy jenkins so let's get to the flashback here as the armor is making something new for grogu she says it's

kind of a tradition for you to give back to the foundlings, whatever you find. So she starts crafting something new. Grogu flashes back to Order 66 Knight. We finally get the scene that we saw in the trailer of Jedis maybe saving him, escorting him through the Jedi temple. And the Jedi say, get him to Kelerin Beck. We need to get him to Kelerin. Get him to Kelerin. Get him into an elevator. The doors open and keller

and beck is standing there clem i said to you earlier do you know who that actor was and you said no i was gonna ask you that and i said all right do your best to avoid that until we record because i think it would be a funny reveal on the podcast do you know who this is are you still unspoiled no like so keller and be, is he in any of the other stuff? Is he in the Clone Wars? Is he in the cartoon? I don't know anything about the Jedi. I definitely don't know anything about the actor.

Am I supposed to know Keller and Beck? Am I supposed to know the actor? I don't know. I don't think you're supposed to necessarily know him. Keller and Beck is from ai temple kids game show that they're doing now the action yeah it's a kid's game show that they do it's like a legends of the hidden temple thing i think that they do now ahmed best is the actor playing keller and beck ahmed best known most by his role as jar jar Binks in The Phantom Menace.

They gave Jar Jar a live action role. This guy has gone through hell and back with Star Wars fans. Four years ago, he came out, spoke about wanting to commit suicide due to the horrible backlash and vitriol that was sent his way. And Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau said, let's redeem that guy. Let's turn him around and have him be Grogu's savior on the night of Order 66. Made him a badass Jedi, Keller and Beck. He saves Grogu.

He gets out. They have an awesome space like chasing through Coruscant, which is becoming the new Tatooine, which is the new planet we go back to every week, which I'm fine with. Coruscant's like a fun planet. A lot of different stuff, a lot of different visuals visuals they have that like almost subway-esque scene where he goes through the train tracks dips out into the station and then they get on a naboo star cruiser and go away he's like we got to meet up with some friends there's a chance one of jar jar's friends is jar jar clam i can't believe we got the redemption of the actor that plays Jar Jar

Binks. I had no clue. And I know that as soon as you said Ahmed Best, I'm like, I know that name. So now it makes perfect sense. I will say this, Robbie, and you have to agree. The moves that Ahmed Best was pulling off were

exactly what you'd look for for someone that was cast to have force abilities. True or false? True. True. And listen, when I saw this, I was like, all right, you know me. I don't buy into the Darth Jar Jar theory. But again, if it's a meter that's going like this, the meter started making movement. And I was like, OK, it's not a it's not a zero chance possibility.

There's more a zero chance possibility there's more than zero chance if george lucas wanted to find a guy who'd just be a bumbling idiot and be so so stupid and falling over himself he could have found basically everyone who works at barstool to do that kind of a job right he needed to find someone who could do that but then also fucking take down like a dozen uh clone troopers whatever the hell they're called and fucking become a real goddamn hero or in darth jar Jar's case a bad motherfucker i imagine so i'm telling you the darth jar jar theory is growing right now and it's alive it's alive it's alive oh this just made me so goddamn i can't even put into words how happy i am i did not see

that coming when and when you asked if i knew who the actor was i'm like i have no fucking clue and i tried to like phrase it the right way on text it was like i can't wait to tell you what you know him from because i was like i don't want clump to be like is he from star wars should i know him i just wanted to reveal to you that yeah darth jar Jar basically the theory is alive because keller and beck now is a a Jedi who I was surprised survived. Like he made it out with Grogu. So it's like, oh, wow. Where did that story go from there?

Did he send Grogu to Naboo? And did they go back to Naboo just because the starfighters from there? I don't know. And eventually he gets in the hands of the Empire because that's where the show begins and everything. I don't know if he was with the Empire or just the war but very very interesting it was cool hearing tamora morrison voicing the clones uh it was awesome just hearing like get him get in i was like oh it's fucking tamora cool did you like the scene in general as someone who like didn't know ahmed best keller and beck anything like that were you cool with okay that's grogu's

backstory yeah whenever i see anything from basically the prequels era i'm like there's probably a lot of references i'm missing out on because i didn't watch the cartoon so i'm always like these fucking guys probably know every single jedi that's here right now and again i was thinking that uh with that also my sweet baby yo can you put the fucking lid on for once when there's like i know like come on dude and i'm like oh wait maybe he doesn't have the lid and then he had the lid on when there was no one shooting at him like that's not when you put the lid on sweet baby it's when there's fucking a bunch of clone troopers trying to murder your ass so that just like drove me nuts i'm like oh don't don't hurt him knowing that he survives obviously

uh also he even looked more like a baby too did you pick up on that like his face was a little younger yep his face is a little younger i don't know if he has any hair and if he does it's just a very little bit where like he looks kind of like old baby yo now when you go back and they keep saying oh you're just a babe like yo this motherfucker is older than everyone here and nobody realizes because of his size and that's my question like did being like in his little ball and hiding did that like fuck up his like stunt his growth or his aging i guess yoda ages very slowly right because he's 900 at the end when we meet him in uh empire and return of the jedi so i i yeah i

was just i was thinking the same thing he's that would you say he's i think he might be cuter in the order 66 time which is crazy to say i mean he's a baby you know he's a true baby yeah he's a true baby back then and also i had a shout out the crew for that ship that's like get on it's fully you know loaded the hyperdrive actually works it's one of the six ships that hasn't had this hyperdrive destroyed those guys they just fucking they knew they were basically fighting to the death. They fucking saved two Jedis along the way, or at least a Padawan. I don't know what you want to consider the founding at that point. And I also loved the hint of a TIE fighter in the two ships that were chasing them before they hit hyperspace.

Because again, I love seeing like the evolution of all the different ships based on, you know, both sides in the war. So I thought that was very cool. That was awesome.

kid from a christmas story before he goes out he's like i can't move my arms yes that's so incredible he just keeps we have a video sienna when she's a baby and she just she gets up and then she falls over and she can't get up and we're just cracking up and she's like ah it's gonna be him with best car soon yeah it's gonna be my sweet baby yo you have like the most unbreakable fucking armor in the galaxy and this little guy who can't get up they fucking gave him like a rap chain it was like a rockefeller chain i was like my guy made it to death row i was so proud of him it looked good though look good and he'll be i'm sure at some point shot in the chest this season like Doc Brown. And then it'll be like, look at the best car saved him.

Wow. Bob Fox. Great fucking call right there. I didn't even think about that. I'm pulling references from left and right this week. I just got them in the brain. It's all neurons are firing. I'm not noodley anymore from the Disney trip.

I'm finally recovered. You know, you're in that HelloFresh. The organic foods go into your brain. We're getting some fuel here. This is perfect. Exactly. So the Mandos go off after the pterodactyl monster.

That's what I'm going to call it is basically a pterodactyl and they have to repel up the mountains because they don't want to wake it up, which is an issue. The jet packs and everything, basically everything they have is loud and noisy

with their clang and Beskar armor. So they have to go free solo this shit not free solo because they get the repels but they're not like the batman repels it's not like you could hit it at the top of the mountain and then just elevator yourself up it's like elevator it up and then keep climbing and then do another one and then keep climbing it looked like it would be a lot yeah i didn't know if this was spelunking i was like is this oh this kind of is spelunking i think this is spelunking this is oh boy i i imagine there is spelunking fans and i imagine they come over the top at you if you don't get like i would never go in spelunking twitter

because if i called spelunking the wrong thing i guarantee it's worse than steak twitter and all those god spel, spelunking Reddit. Oh, so I loved that. We finally got an answer to what they do with the helmets when they're eating, when they're showering. Yeah. I like that too. I like that.

It's like, you just go to your own room. It's like, okay, I thought that made sense. You just, and it's honor system as we know. And my guy,

Mando is as honorable as a guy. It's like, yeah, I did it a couple of times. just and it's honor system as we know and my guy mando is as honorable as a guy's like yeah i did it a couple times and these religious fanatics may not be so bad because they were uh nice enough to let beau stay by the fire i thought that was a very nice move and i think i'm kind of falling in love with these this is how you actually end up joining a cult now that i say that i'm like i'm gonna throw my hat in the ring maybe and if they could find me a mask i could kind of get down i would like saying this is the way that could be cool and i also know

thought about how our girl beau was ducking you at hq this week she did duck me at hq that was crazy i tweeted that they kept me out of the office like dante and lightfoot because i had no idea that bo katan was in the office the actress that played her but to be fair I could have just gone to the office that day and seen her there but I just I had no idea she would be in they said she was a great interview so look out for that on Lights Camera Barstool if it's not out already I don't know if they put it out Jeff didn't Jeff's like we have enough confrontation right now Barstool we don't need Robbie yelling at the actress that plays Bo imagine that that she did security Mike has to drag me out I I'm like, you're a hypocrite.

You're a hypocrite, Bo. I know what you did. That was funny. And I also liked them going their separate ways. And like you said, they're being like, you have the honor of staying by the fire. It feels like when Pup Punk pulls over on a road trip, it's like, all right, the girl, Carolina,

whoever's with the group, one of our girlfriends, you get to use the bathroom. We're all going to go our separate ways and pee in these bushes over here yes what happens um getting the answer to that just seeing how the mandalorians take their helmet off to eat we kind of saw mando do it in season one but i remember being like was he allowed to do that or was he just doing that because nobody else was around no it's understood like we have to fucking eat we have to shower if if it's hot if you're in tattooing you gotta like fucking just wipe the brow a few times right there i don't know if they're air conditioned in there so

i wonder unless they're the mean girl mandalorians and then they're like we took a vow not to wash our hands or our helmets you know hey i'm not looking at all around i'm not looking at that wait is star wars real it's uh i think it is that it is it's not methodical it's not methodical wait so baby yoda is a real living thing huh i thought it was he's real he exists he's been walking around for 50 years he's older than you and i so they say this happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away did someone find like dvds of everything and that's how we're watching these stories and people are just filming it don't be ridiculous it was hard drives not dvds because they they don't have dvd players in the galaxy far far away so we just transferred the footage on the hard drives now we have the documentaries coming out weekly it's

amazing okay clip that that's gonna be our thing we're gonna go viral people that was our attempt at a mean girls clip if people are like what the fuck just happened you guys just have two strokes on the podcast uh so they all rappel up this mountain as i said paz viz like kind of messes things up when he doesn't see his kid in the nest but mando picks up a heat signature he's like i think i see a heat signature over there he just runs over there he alerts the babies who look just like baby birds blown up and everything. I rescued a baby bird once. I know we're a bird friendly podcast.

Saw a baby bird on him, walk home from school, picked it up, put it back in a nest, nest in a bush. I don't know if I gave it to its real mom, but I gave it to somebody's mom. So, uh, shout out to baby birds. They have this huge battle scene. The mama bird comes out. She kind of spits up the kid Ragnar or whatever, flies around with him for a while. They all attack it.

The kid falls, Mando saves him. And then the pterodactyl goes down. Remind me of Jurassic world. When one of those big pterodactyls comes out and then that giant crocodile type monster comes up, eats it out of there kind of in a reference to the phantom menace possibly me and ken jack we're talking about this with the

there's always a bigger fish i put that in the notes bob always a bigger fish and then when i get prequel uh things i kind of get a little chilled in my spine but i was on the same page and like straight out of direct like the megastore sort of the fucking skull yeah comes out and chows down on the other, which is a good scene in that movie. I like that scene. It's unnecessarily mean to that assistant in the movie.

It was like, it's picked up and dropped a thousand times and then eaten by two different dinosaurs. She didn't really do anything bad to deserve that. But every time I watch it, I'm like, Holy shit. Yes.

The, but that, that entire fight scene was, I loved how the old mando helmets in the nest so you're like yep this has happened before because these guys are so fucking stupid um and like you said uh what's the paz vizsla yeah just an all-time idiot fucking moment i just started laughing my ass when he flies right into the asshole's mouth and that was our moment right where he kind of just fucks everything up. It's hilarious.

And it's like, well, he was going after his kid. I have two kids and I fucking love them. I'd die for them. I wouldn't fly into the mouth of a monster because then they don't have a fucking dad. So it's like, what are we doing here? What a goddamn asshole. Asshole.

And when Mando, they did it again when he saves the day and the fucking Mando sound, it again when he saves the day and the fucking mando sound it is ringing so hard these days so hard it is so they bring back the babies which i thought was an interesting move they were like here's some babies we got for a couple more found links i'm like the fuck are we gonna do with those babies you gotta raise those babies how much milk do you have to get to feed those or more food you have to get to feed the babies that's that's what I said Look alright

There's a little bit of crossover here I know Star Wars fans might just be Star Wars We're nerd guys I can tell you from Game of Thrones Feeding a dragon will bankrupt your ass Feeding three dragons as they grow up Will like murder your species basically Because they're also going to probably start eating you guys

Once they get big enough Like that felt like a hokey joke at the end of a cartoon like we have three more which they should have done if bo's like hey guys we got three more mouths to feed and to teach the ways and then she blow torched him and goes dinner for the next month on bocatan y'all welcome and these and we're gonna leave one of the bodies out there. So then any other pterodactyls are going to see these guys don't fuck around. They kill the babies too. That's what you should do. Instead, they're going to feed these things. And listen, I know there's a chance that at the end of the season,

they're going to be riding these fucking things. I feel like that is a potential thing. But if that doesn't happen, it's just the dumbest thing of all time. I'm a thousand percent with you, Bob. That's the thing. It's March 22nd, 2023.

And this is a dumb fucking move, but on March 22nd, 2024, you might be sitting here with old takes exposed on our asses. When the Mandalorians are riding into Mandalore on fucking pterodactyl dragons. And we're like, yeah,

you know, they're going to name all three. We're going to become attached to them. Like the dragons and thr're like yeah you know they're gonna name all three we're gonna become attached to them like the dragons and thrones like you said and yeah i i see this is a big trust the process show i i kind of like where you're going with this too i could see a note from a disney plus suit who i've learned to not trust that's has been beaten to our brains by uh is it billy billy billy walsh billy mitchell which one is it no no the one from uh entourage oh billy billy walsh right billy mitchell's my pac-man guy yeah don't trust the suits couldn't you see a note from disney plus being like listen

dragons play these fuckers at hbo are eating out of lunch every sunday night when dragons is back game of thrones is coming let's get some dragons in the Mandalorian. You can do that in a felonium fabric. Like, all right, whatever we'll do it. So I could see that being a thing and we could be all takes exposed in the future,

but I just, I don't, these guys are on the sus list. These three fucking dragons are like at the top of the sus list. Eat them, send them as a message to the other fucking pterodactyls on the Island. All the creatures on the island. We kill fucking anybody.

We kill the mama. We're killing the babies. We're killing everybody. Don't fuck with the Mandos. That's what it should be. And these guys are just marching around. This fucking Kumbaya Star Wars land, man. I remember when Star Wars, we kill these fucking things.

I'm like an old man yelling at a cloud. But I just don't like it. I feel like, and it's not even like a storyline thing. I just feel like there's so much bad that could come out of this. What if they pooped in her fucking ship too? You just got a big old pile of dragon shit in your spaceship. That shit doesn't come out easily. What are we doing here, Bo-Katan?

So I personally don't like it, but I could see this being a note given to Favreau and Filoni saying, hey, let's get some dragons in the show so that's all i'm gonna say and listen these guys right here love birds big bird guys these guys are basically giant star wars birds that being said i still would have killed these motherfuckers bob saved the bird and he still would have killed these guys right i think i would have now i'm convincing myself more and more that maybe this is a good opportunity where it could be like the way they finally use the fire is Paz Vizsla could crawl into the mouth. Oh, yes. And then Clem like this.

Ready? He goes. You got to be watching on YouTube for what I just did there. But I crawled out of the mouth of the pterodactyl, and I used the flamethrower then. You have sold me. I love dragons that much. You have sold me that there is, and, you know,

I love the goddamn blowtorch and hate that they never use it right. This could be the thing that finally makes it all come together. So I'm sold. There's also a chance we just never see the pterodactyls again, and it was just meant as, like, a quick little funny thing at the end of the episode. But the people who are listening are like,

guys enough with the terror baby. Yeah. It just felt, it just felt very weird. My exact words were burned. Those baby dragons alive. Exclamation point. You had the fucking blowtorch.

They're in the nest. That's that's basically Tinder. At that point, you just light them up and you fucking go about your way, or you leave them, you fucking put their heads on a spike and let all the other creatures on that planet know the people in the cave

are not to be trifled with one bit. So they go back to the cave because Bo lost a shoulder plate in the battle. The armor's like, oh yeah, I see you lost a shoulder plate. Let's go back, let's make you a new one. And when she decides what animal she wants on it like he's got the mud horn or whatever she says can i put the mythosaur on that she's like yeah the mythosaurs are fucking jesus on the cross you know everyone could have that place for everybody yeah yeah and she says all right put

that one on there she said what would i tell you if or what would you say to me if i told you i saw a mythosaur she's like yeah you see many things when you join the cult, you know, you see a bunch of visions like that. She's like, no, no, I saw a real one in the minds of Mandalore. She's like, I'm sure you did. That's very cute. She doesn't realize at this point that the mythosaur is a factosaur and Bo is going to have to prove that Bo almost seems like she might become obsessed with the mythosaur,

maybe more so than the Darksaber. I could see that being her thing now. Mando's got the Darksaber, and she's like, I want to train that Mythasaur. I want to conquer and ride that Mythasaur somehow. I don't know. Yeah. The whole thing where she's like, this is the way.

I don't know if she ever is going to believe that she saw that fucking thing. And the armor is like the queen bee of the religion game, right? I feel like the armor is the head honcho of this shit. So I feel like it's going to take the mythos of being like, I saw, no, we know each other. We're on first. Like Bo-Katan, she turns on her. It's like when you turn on the Wi-Fi and it reconnects to someone's house.

But she's like, no, we're good with each other other so i did find it kind of weird that she was just dismissed right away but i don't know man i feel i have much better vibes between the hardcore mando people and bow than i thought we would i thought it was going to be fish out of water and a lot of stuff like that i'm pretty happy with the way it's all and i loved loved the old x clap they were doing they were banging their like arms it's this is i always pick xavier to go to the sweet 16 in my college basketball brackets because i love throwing up the x and i go yeah it's a little dx as well i mean again you have x in your name it's just fucking awesome so uh i like that and i like the way we're going which takes me to my question to my guy, Bob Fox, the

Bo and Bob meter. Where are we at right now? I mean, this is another episode where Bo Catan is fucking. I know you had some issues with the actress kind of sneaking in. Didn't want to catch that Bob Fox heat. At this point, you have to almost like thank her for her service when you see her. Yeah, no, I think I do. The Bo Catan hate meter

i think it was at seven early on in the season at this point it's at like a three maybe a two yeah it's pretty much dwindled it's it's a flame that is going out we'll see if but she has been calling out the cult activity right she's kind of back in a cult now so it's like i don't know you know is she a hypocrite yeah but am i gonna let it slide also yeah this is also the point though where you're like we're all good and then it just flips on its head exactly when that dark saber comes out Bo's gonna be thinking some crazy shit right and it's like a yeah a dog like when you take a treat out like like her mind is immediately gonna be like oh my god the dark saber yep and then other Mandalorians are around and you're gonna be like I wasn't hanging out with these nerds,

and she pushes all the religious people aside. So my antenna is still up on Bo, but she's still on the sus list. She's now behind this Vizsla guy. She's behind the three baby dragons that I don't know what's going to happen with. She is on there, but she is pretty low on our radars right now,

to be fair. So we're a very fair and balanced podcast here when it comes to, we are, if, if nothing else, we are unbiased. And Darth Jar Jar is real. And Darth Jar Jar is real.

Thank you to everyone for tuning in. Make sure you like the video down below, subscribe to the podcast, add to that count. I just saw the Jedi fallen order two trailer came out. So I got to get on that. I got i gotta get on my streams my video game streams i'm going to talk to barstool people about that this week on how to set me up in the office for that and we will see you next week for another recap of the mandalorian
