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 Barstool Sports and 3Chi. I am your host, Robbie Fox. With me is my co-host, Clem. And we are here, live and in person this week, to recap The Mandalorian, Chapter 21, The Pirate. This was a good one, Clem. My favorite of the season so far. People were hyped.

I saw before I watched the episode, I saw people saying how that was real Star Wars and right there, right? So it's always good when we get one of those episodes. And I feel like we're going to have a run here. We're going to have a Boba kind of run where, not the Book of Boba Fett, but the Mandalorian magazine inside the Book of Boba Fett, we're going to have just hits on hits on hits coming. That's at least what I'm hoping here. We better because we've got three episodes left.

That's kind of scary. Only three episodes left for the whole season. It feels like, I don't want to say we're just getting into it, but there was a bit of an interesting, I don't know, we talked about it last week, no hype zone for the first few episodes. And now this week I've been seeing way more people tweeting about it, even just this episode. Do we say, like, where's the Mandalorian hype? Do we put out, like, a TikTok there and kind of just become the bad guys of the Star Wars universe?

And just have people just roasting us and see how many views we can get on it? Maybe. universe and just have people just roasting us and see how many views we can get on it maybe i mean last week we put out identical tiktoks that were one saying me saying the cgi on grogu looks amazing one you saying the cgi and grogu looks a little off when he jumps when he jumps just when he jumps the one that you put out has 335 000 views mine has yet to hit a thousand kevin goes i just did kfc radio real quick just a quick little uh jump in and he goes do you have any hate or something i'm like yeah like look at my mentions i have plenty and he's like well but like on based on a take i go i think star wars fans hate me now so maybe but i said if we're the mean nerd podcast and we have a take or maybe we start acting like

we don't know anything about like wait hyper drives work we can go crazy viral and spot star wars world and then we you know come back to back to Eric and Dave down the road and be like, got to save the basement, boys.

That was a bad one. Boom. That's a live slap here. That was a live slap. And we're live and in person this week. So hopefully we'll be able to do more of these in the future. Hopefully for like the finale, that would be cool. That would be awesome.

Even movies coming up. We've got Guardians 3. We'll have to do something in person for that. I drove down today. It was my first time driving to HQ for like a – because I used to come in at the first thing in the morning. Yeah. Get in, make sure you're in by 10 or else Dave's going to yell at you. Today I was like, I could get some work done, drive down. So yeah, we've got to do this more.

So let's get into the episode. It is Chapter 21. It's titled The Pirate. It starts with Greef Karga. He's kind of restructuring Navarro. Why don't we put this closer to the port? So why don't we put this over here? He's magistrating.

That's what magistrating is. I didn't know what magistrating was. High magistrating. Excuse me. High magistrating. I apologize. I apologize. A giant't know what magistrate was. High magistrate. Excuse me. High magistrate. I apologize. I apologize. A giant pirate ship arrives, scaring off all the townspeople.

And it is Gorian Shard from earlier in the season. Awesome, awesome design. He was also in Game of Thrones. I saw this actor. He was like one of Khaleesi's side henchmen. He was, I think, the dude at Qarth, the Big fella at Karth who was like Oh I got your back and then he basically Double crossed her and got his ass

Thrown in a vault it was such a badass move Snip snap She snip snapped her ass It got me really longing for like Those were the good Thrones days I like that guy too There's something about the actor I like that guy I just think he's good and I like that we still had the um the ig statue was up and it's

still just just missing parts yeah and i saw later on when we see the fricks like they cut to him real quick ig 11's parts are still in there so the workshop like the the the the hot rod is still up on exactly they're working on it right now exactly he's still looking for that piece and that part that's right yeah so we're still they're, I forgot they're looking for the part. And as soon as they came on the screen, AJ goes, bad baby, bad baby. So the Fricks have made an impression on the next generation. Who, by the way, AJ, we're watching Star Wars right now. We're watching all Disney movies in general, Cinderella, Pinocchio.

And then we're also watching Star Wars, Obsessed with Star Wars and as a Vader guy, which, again, I guess I should have seen this coming, right? He's like, Dad, can you play Darth Vader's song? And he just, like, plays with his toys and he goes, dun, dun, dun. I was scared of Darth Vader as a kid. You had to be too, right? Terrifying. And he loves him. He's not even

five years old and he loves Vader, so. That's a true sign of him being your son. You love Thanos, he loves Vader, it's that's a true sign of him being your son you love Thanos he loves Vader it runs in the family runs in the genes um Gorian Shard shows up in holographic form and he calls Karga out for being a hypocrite I've been calling everyone out for being hypocrites this season and I was actually like all right you're getting me on his side I love my guy Grief Karga but he was like look at you you're a politician now you were a fucking pirate just like me not too long ago.

Imagine like Portnoy in like 10 years is like this fancy guy in Florida. He's like trying to like be a politician. And someone goes, hey, Dave, you want to go back to the dev nest? Didn't get rid of here. It's like I remember like it's the same kind of thing, right? Yeah. I forgot that's what grief was when we first met him. Yeah. I mean, he was a scoundrel.

He was basically against Mando. He turned on him. They were shooting at each other, came after the baby. It is crazy that we got past all that. And you know what? He has redeemed himself. Like, I love Greef Karga, but if I'm calling out Bo-Katan for all her hypocritical statements, I should be calling out Greef Karga as well.

Yeah, it's so hard, though, and I think you can agree with me on this. Carl Weathers is just so fucking like, like, Apollo, I should hate fucking Apollo after the first one. How could you, though? He's just charismatic. He gets it. He's calling him the Italian chicken and all this stuff. And it's like, then obviously we have Arrested Development. We have all the different Carl Weathers things.

So, yeah, I'm with you, Bob. So Karga tries to bluff him at first. He's like, we're under protection from the New Republic. They'll be right here. I'm sure they're pulling up any second now. And he's like, no, you're not. He's like, listen, they can't even protect the mid rim you think they're protecting the outer rim out here they're completely swamped they ain't coming and

i know you didn't sign that agreement anyway so he just starts raining fire down on the city rain fire big time thanos five big time thanos five the cannons were the exact same live song live slap and it was uh check tune into the dozen tonight by the time this is out the dozen will already be out I used Avengers Endgame as my niche so tune in see if I got that right I did not get it right for Avengers Infinity War so it's a redemption game

Honkers vs. Experts a game that will go down in infamy I will say this can I give a little spoiler on mine too oh yeah yeah yeah ZD vs. Your Mom also will go down in infamy a double infamy week I will say this. Can I give a little spoiler on mine too? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. ZD versus your mom. Also, we'll go down in infamy.

A double infamy week. A double infamy week. Oh, shit. Never before seen. So we go to an X-Wing hideout bar. I don't know. It was kind of a Top Gun vibe when they're all just sitting there by the bar. It was cool.

Dave Filoni, Rick Famuita, and Debra Chow were all sitting at the bar. Oh, they were. The three X-Wing pilots that we saw, three directors. And Captain Teva, Mr. Did-You-Lose-Anyone-On-Alderon, is just sitting there. He receives a message from Grief Karga. He says, hey, can I use your viewer? I thought that was a cool word for, like, the holograph telephone. And it's a message from karga saying hey we need help you got to come here pirates are invading he says i'm going to send this to coruscant see what they

say someone sits down next to him his name is zeb clem this is a guy from star wars rebels he's from the animated series people love is that the purple guy it is oh that was my notes um i fucking love the purple guy i i don't like that guy just has the look. Whatever it is. His CGI looks so good. Looks awesome, man. And they needed to nail that if they were going to bring him in. I assume he'll be part of the Ahsoka series because she knows that whole Rebels. They call them the Spectre Rebels, the Spectre crew. They all ride on a ship called the Ghost.

It's Zeb, Hera, Ezra, Kanan, and Sabine Wren. And they have a droid chopper as well who's kind of their R2-D2. Okay. And at the end of Rebels, he returns to his homeworld. His kind was almost extinct because of the Empire, so that's why he joins the Rebellion. He goes back to his homeworld at the end of Rebels, spoilers, to try to rebuild the civilization. Now he's just back in the Rebellion, or the new Resistance. Interesting.

I assume rebuilding the civilization did not go well. Mistakes were made. Mistakes were made. But he tells Captain Teva, hey, they're swamped in Coruscant. They haven't responded in weeks. They're not helping these guys. They're not going to see your message. So Teva's like, I guess I've got to go face-to-face.

I liked how they were using Coruscant as if it was like DC. You know, like the way people say, Oh, Washington there, you know, right. Swamp everywhere. Exactly. That's how they were talking about course. I was like, Oh shit. All right.

That's I guess the new DC. And I imagine it's like Coruscant. They're just like, yeah, we have a million fucking things going on. It just shows how, and I think we're going to see it. I think throughout this series and the other series, how the first order rises just because it's just like, there's no way to kind of like get everything taken care of. And I think there they just there's too many holes to fill in the boat. Right. Also, I hate to say, oh, I don't want to get fucking people upset to me, the fucking grief cargo Twitter or whatever.

But if you're the high magistrate. Yeah. Can you do more than just send one message to one rebellion fighter i'm glad you said that because mando's his guy at this point why not just hit up mando right away now you know that the new republic is he's like we're not gonna bow down to another bureaucracy far off blah blah blah and then you call him right away that's tough why not call your boy mando you know he's not you know he's not the popo he's the actual guy who could come and like wreck shit on your planet he has done it for you before so he owes you like you guys owe each other kind of a thing i will say the only reason in my mind the only reason he didn't do that is because mando is like is to him as trent is to us you send trent a text message you know you're getting ghosted it's nothing nothing personal. He's just not a text guy.

Mando may not even own a phone for all I know. No, you're right. That's such a good point. Yeah, he's like, I don't want to double text him. I texted him last week trying to get him to come back for the land, and he said no. So, yeah, he's like, no, I can't hit him up. I actually just said on KFC Radio we talked about Trent,

and I said I'm going to just, because he doesn't respond to my stuff, he'll respond like once in a blue moon or he'll hit you up. I'm going to just put him on a chain with my wife. I'm going to send all the kids pictures to my wife. And I said, Trent doesn't have the heart to block me. I don't think he does. Well, see, I don't know with Trent because the first day that I met Trent, or the first day I got hired by Barstool really, I hadn't met Trent yet.

He followed me on Twitter. And that night he unfollowed me because I was tweeting too many wrestling gifs, he said. Which, in fairness, back then I was. You were, I remember Bob Fox, I was like, whoa, Bob. And you were talking about the Graps. I'm like, there's a lot of wrestling here. This is a lot of wrestling. Heavy technical wrestling. We're not talking DX chops and, you know,

girls flashing people. We're talking hardcore wrestling stuff. Yeah, we're talking technical chain wrestling and stuff like that. I was tweeting underground, like independent wrestling shows. And Trent was like, I'd had enough. Now, that did help me curate my Twitter

towards more of a mainstream audience. Trent basically trained you. He was your Yoda. He was your Yoda. He got you there. So I will say, Grief, if he sent out other messages to more people, fine. If he just sent one to this one guy who was fucking so tone deaf he asked if he lost anyone on Alderaan.

The one guy he knows in the Resistance, I guess. He's like, I got one contact now that Cara Dune's off doing whatever she's doing. By the way, shout out to the person that pointed this out to me. I forgot the name. When we said kidding around a few episodes ago, Cara Dune went back to her home planet. She pretty much did. She told her on. Yikes.

Oh, went back to her home planet. Yeah, she don't got a home planet. Don't got a home planet. We're as insensitive as Captain Teva. You're going to now get canceled for what you said about Gina Carano's character. What a fucking guy. I might. I might.

Well, I feel like no. I feel like once someone gets cancelled, it's almost fair game to say whatever you want about a cancelled person. Oh, they can say all the mean stuff to them. Yeah, yeah. One thing that I love that I gotta tell all the people about that you also love is GameTime. This is the exclusive

ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. GameTime is a ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last minute deals and tickets to sports, concerts, shows, and more. They guarantee the lowest price and they've cracked the code on how to score these deals on last minute tickets. There's a bunch of concerts coming up that I want to go to right down the block at the Garden. I want to go see Paramore. I want to go see Blink-182. They're playing a couple times in the city, so I want to make sure I go to those concerts. There was an event, I know for you, that you wanted to see for a long time. Were you able

to make it? I was, Bob. Right at the Shows and More part of that read right there. I went to see Bluey's Big Play, it's called, with the kids. And it was tremendous. I've been talking about it for a while. It was so much fun. And I will say, for people that want to see the show, it's like 45 minutes to an hour. It kind of wants you, I wish there was a little more, maybe an intermission split up.

But there was not one kid who was starting to itch in their seat and ready to get out. So I will say maybe shorter is better but the fact it was on game time for the price you're getting for it, you don't feel like you lost anything. I got the kids out to the house for a bit. We got to stretch our legs and we're not stuck inside on a rainy day.

Absolutely perfect. So a good way to save some money, get some last minute tickets. Perfect. Super easy to use too, right? Extremely easy. Dad, I'm a dad. I'm starting to lose my tech stuff. You know, I had the, um, closed captioning in Spanish for the last month. I couldn't figure out how to change it. I could get the game time stuff. It was a breeze and you could get a code to get some money off. We have an opening day coming up. I got my buddies who said he's going to hit up Yankees opening day using game time. He said, what's your code? Oh, well, the code, Clem, is MMB. You go to GameTime, the app or the website, you enter your email,

and you redeem that code MMB, and you'll get $20 off your first purchase. Terms apply, but this purchase process really is so quick and easy. Once you buy your tickets, they're delivered directly to your phone, no printer needed. And the app allows you to share tickets easily with friends via text so you can get into the game seamlessly. That is a huge thing if you have an unreliable friend that's late to everything just text them the ticket don't even worry about it then you don't have to wait for him to get in trent he's unreliable trent could be unreliable uh it's tough because if trent says he's gonna be there he says he's gonna be there he'll be there but he usually doesn't say he'll be there that's the

thing so i don't know if unreliable is the word but you can't rely on him you know who is reliable our guy tiva here at least he tries right he does try not i would not go to a concert with the new republic no they're the narcs yeah you're like i'd rather not go than go with them. So he goes to see the Colonel Tuttle, who is from SNL, Tim Meadows. Tim Meadows is canon in Star Wars. Crazy. I couldn't believe it. I'm like, oh, that guy kind of looks like Tim Meadows. I'm not crazy.

He was an SNL guy, right? Yes, yes. SNL. And I always associate him with awesome blossom sauce coming out of my nose in the office. Oh, yeah. And I go with Mean mean girls a lot too. Yes. Mean girls.

Great role in mean girls. Yeah. I would see the ladies, man. That was him, right? Yes. Yeah.

So I liked him. It was, he just, he's almost too happy to be working for the new Republic. That should be someone who looks like they had cubicles. And I'm like, Oh man, like new Republic,

it's straight up cubicle hell. And I'm like, this is why it's not going to work. It's like when you see cubicles at bar school, it's straight up cubicle hell. And I'm like, this is why it's not going to work. It's like when you see cubicles at barstool. It's like you were not built. You were built in an idea of rebellion, not cubicles. And when I see cubicles here, I'm like, this doesn't feel like the real. And I mean, we're pretty close to Dave becoming a high magistrate somewhere

and pirates calling him out on his bullshit. Pretty much. And I liked them pointing out like, hey, this isn't a rebellion anymore. We're a fucking office now. So make sure you put your, you know, slips through and you get your permissions. Your TPS reports have to be approved. All the reports, everything like that. So he barely even listens to the call for help.

He turns it off halfway through. He's like, ah, I get the gist. He would have been doing the jerk-off motion if it was a phone call. Yeah, like looking at someone like this fucking asshole. Kane, Ellia Kane from a couple weeks ago walks into the room and she lets Tuttle know like, oh yeah, Navarro's not even a New Republic world. They didn't sign the agreement.

And he's like, well, we've got worlds that did sign the agreement that are all backlogged. So I'm sorry, we're not going to be able to help you out here. Teva's pissed. He tries to warn them about a bigger threat out there, which has been looming over the whole season. I like that looming threat,

the way they're talking about this big threat out there, which has been looming over the whole season. I like that looming threat, the way they're talking about this big threat out there. He even makes a slight at Kane on his way out. He's like, oh, yeah, isn't that what they taught you in the Imperial? Sounds a real Imperial way of thinking. And she's like, no, I just had to be liberated to see the light, blah, blah, blah. She's like a triple, quadruple quintuple agent for somebody at this point. I don't know if it's for Thrawn. i don't know if it's for throne i don't know if it's for gideon we saw somebody broke gideon out at the end of the episode so i don't

know if she's involved in that or she just wants to be involved in that something's going on with her she's on like four different sus lists right now she is every category yes every category no matter who you're if you're a mandalorian if you're with the new republic if you're with the empire from back in the day if you're part of the uprising first order this bitch is sus and i have to say i'm going to um you know we say this could help like fix past star star wars events that happen in the future like we can see all this stuff and be like oh snoke isn't so weird now i feel like this actress is much better as a bad guy than a good guy or a quadruple agent wherever the fuck whatever she is yeah because we saw her in ant-man yep and we lambasted her

or i did at least i don't remember if you i wasn't a big fan we weren't a big fan and we thought there was a chance maybe of an interview coming up see See, I thought that. And then I went back into the emails and I was a little relieved. She was on the email sheet offered to Barstool and I forgot to put in for her. I was a little relieved when I saw that, though, because we did. She could have been good in the basement about this. I was going to say, we weren't very nice about her character in Ant-Man. She is very good in Star Wars. She works.

Some wrestlers are just better as heels. Yes. And I think that's it. And basically, her character, without giving anything away about him was basically a star wars character yeah he was a good guy star wars character and i didn't like i just didn't like the entire vibe you watched ant-man again you said it was better the second time than the first i stand by everything we said i don't take anything back but it was better without the civil war expectations yes when you watch it again dial back and you just

take it as a light ant-man movie you're like all right pretty good yeah now that's a whole new can of worms that they might have to recast kang because jonathan majors went and got in himself into some trouble this week that's a story for another time yeah we'll see what happens he said she said police right it's ugly right now it's real ugly not the vibes we want in the basement yep now for this character though i feel like like i'm having almost like and or level feelings towards this totally i'm like i hate this she's gonna keep fucking us over here yeah i don't like her bob i don't like her one bit it is a nice way to tie the whole season together yeah that one like it felt almost like a not a one-off episode but a little bit like that it ties it all in together now and even the pirates from the first episode yes getting them in together it's like all right there's way more of a cohesive thread

throughout the whole season now than there was even last episode yeah so we're having some fun action we're seeing some stuff come together just with the mandalorian storyline but now we're bringing all this this is kind of how andor ended right pretty much yeah and you get this beautiful harmony where everything's coming look at me just dropping some fucking harmony yeah i'm talking metaphors like poetry or rhymes it's coming out of my mouth next if you don't watch out pretty much so tiva goes and he finds the mando covert very easily and immediately i'm like how did this guy find a mando covert like that apparently they're not doing a very good job hiding. Yeah. If he could just roll up on it and see Boca Don ship. It's fucking R5-D4.

This guy, he's a rat. I'm telling you, R5-D4 is the goddamn pits. He's a coward. He's a rat. You know, he was probably like,

hey, I'm here. I'm going to throw the beacon on. So if anyone wants to rescue me from these guys because I'm a coward, scared to get out of a ship, you have one job, dude.

And it's do whatever the fucking Mandalorian tells you to do. That's how Peli Moto programmed you. I'm not a fan of this guy. However, he did play an important role here. I will give him that much. We needed him here but just the fact that he snitched and he was probably snitching like you said. He made me

walk out on Mandalore before he checked the air and it's like, is that really why you're calling or is it about grief karga he's no better than alaya good point i mean he could be a double agent yeah he probably was the one who he was probably working on those fucking tie bombers blowing up little mandalorian mandalore babies um so teva walks up on the covert paz visal is the first one to greet him and he is not a fan of these guys, these New Republic soldiers. So he's like, you should get out.

We'll have to relocate. We should probably kill him anyway. Like, let's just get rid of this guy. And he's like, I swear I'm here about one of your friends. Throws Mando the hologram. And he's like, one of your friends doesn't help. Like, I'm doing a nice thing here by telling you you should go help him out, but that's on you. So Mando's like, we don't even really have ships, but let let's try this shit so he talks to the whole covert about the situation he asks for their

help and then paz vizsla stands up we got some previously on with paz vizsla as well this week i skipped it so i went in blank not knowing what was gonna happen i felt like so i was worried that paz was about to go back to his ways where he challenges the mandalorian but he has a moment here, just like out of The Dark Knight, when they hand the prisoner that detonator. And he's like, I'm going to do what we should have done a long time ago. Shadow Debo, R.P. Tenny. Throws it right out the window. That's kind of what Paz Vizsla does here. He says, this is the way.

Why should we put our lives on the line for all these people, for this foundling? Because we're fucking Mandalorians. Let's go and the bokatan you know makes the whole plan they go off on the ship it's pretty awesome i love that twist that got me hyped like they i think that really did a good job of being like all for one for all you saved my son he said yeah last week we saw that and it's like oh yeah like these guys really did come through bow again shout out to, me, basically writing about myself on this podcast all season. Mando, when he's playing to them, how about you just say,

Hey, guys, you don't have to worry about fucking sea dragons and actual dragons killing your fucking kids anymore if we go to this other planet. Should have brought that up for sure. Yeah, we'll get a huge plot of land, all this kind of stuff. I just couldn't believe it. I love the holder of the hammer can talk. Yeah. We had our first family meeting at the house the other day, which being a parent having a family meeting is not.

Wow. No. And it wasn't anything like super serious, but the kids were just not listening to us. We're like, AJ, turn off the iPad. No. What? Like, Sienna, come out here. Brush your teeth.

No. And they're just telling us no. So we fucking we had it. And they're just telling us no. So we fucking, we had it. And my wife brought out the spatula and it was, whoever held it could speak. Yes. And AJ goes,

can I take this for a second? Mommy, he took that in a coaster and my mom said, give it back. He's like, no, no. And he took it and he did dunk,

dunk, dunk, like a gavel. And then, and you know what? That is how every fucking meeting should have. There should be a giant, like a thing.

And I love that the hammer, which I feel like the armor is kind of the like this is the judge the leader yeah of the group yeah the leader of the group so i liked how they did that and then um the other thing i had to ask is where are these fucking baby dragons that were so important they had to bring them last episode how many do you think they ate from the time we saw them last episode i guarantee at least two mandalorians hurt, if not one killed by a baby dragon. It's either that or they were like, the CGI budget did not sign up for baby dragons in every episode. What were you guys thinking? I would have loved if they were just eating baby dragon meat.

That would have been something. Even Baby Yoda. He's serving it. He's like putting it on people's plates with the force. It's like, that's always the best is when you get food and instead of a toothpick, they have a pretzel. So you don't even need to get rid of the toothpick. You just eat the pretzel. I always love that.

And because when you have a toothpick, if you don't see a trash can around, that's the worst. You're walking around with a toothpick. You put it in your pocket. You forget about it. It feels like a thousand pounds, that toothpick, when you're holding it. Yeah, it really does. By the way, I made a note 16 minutes before we saw Baby Yoda in this episode. There's a common complaint I see online where people are like, oh, they just use Baby Yoda as a cute trope. Anytime that there's like a scene that they can't figure out, they just cut to Baby Yoda.

I don't think that's a real issue in the show at all. No, I will say it on a tick tock. If that'll mean we'll get a lot of news. But I don't think I last episode there was just a lot of Baby Yoda on screen, and he was just cooing a lot. I don't know if it was last episode. Gurgling, cooing, squealing. All the cute words. By the way, the pirate ship was awesome.

It looked like the spaceship. It was like, this is a pirate... This is a spaceship version of a pirate ship. It kind of went together like a pirate ship would always. And the way it just loomed over, it had that almost star destroyer presence that ominous like oh no it's casting a shadow over the whole city we check in with the villagers the citizens whatever you call them as grief card is leading

them out to the lava dunes a couple times it looks bad i mean at the end of the episode he does target them in the middle of the episode i was like i hope he doesn't target them because they're all just together in the middle of nowhere right now. He could see them, right? I'm like, what? And he just has like a random group with him. Right. And I was like, what are we doing here?

Again, I don't want to take the H word away from him, but this he feels more like a magistrate. I think he might have jumped the gun. I feel like it's when someone gets a role or promotion and they get the senior, senior director, senior producer. It's like maybe we should have just stayed with the magistrate. I don't know. Hi. I feel like high. If high is like he hits a blue Skywalker, he hits up a Jedi.

He hits up a fucking man like Mando. That is high. Many more contacts. Magistrate shit. And hey, it worked out. So, you know, I got my face. Magistrate shit is going to this fucking guy who asked if you lost anyone in Alderaan. So I'm with you on that, Bob.

But good easy eating.

There we go. So Navarro is already a shithole. It's already overrun by pirates. It's like they've taken it back to season one that quick. It's kind of crazy. I love that Navarro is a living being at this point where we've seen it. It's good. It's bad.

It's ugly, right? Yeah, that's a good point. Mando comes in on the end one to start the attack, and he has a great line. It's almost like they have a play on the don't never tell me the odds line where someone says, I think it's Greef Karg, is like, be careful. They've got you outnumbered 10 to 1. And he says, I like those odds. He's like, I'm sure you do. Makes two of them crash into each other and shit.

Did the purple guy say, good luck, you're going to need it? I don't know if I heard that right. He might have. That's one of my favorite lines from good say good luck you're gonna need it i don't know if i heard that right because that's one of my favorite lines from uh good luck you're gonna need it when han says that yeah to mando but that was very cool the the cockpit um dialogue even the villains are talking yeah usually just have just fucking voiceless tie fighter pilots who have helmets on so they mean nothing. Getting the character of the pirates along with obviously Mando there,

that was just, I thought that was a lot of fun. It was like in video games when recently they have the proximity chat. Like if you're close to someone in the game, you could hear them. I feel like they had that in the sky. Amazing action scenes. The ones in the sky were great.

The dogfights in the sky, like more great ones this season. We got great ones earlier in the season. But the grounded action scenes where you see mandalorians doing cool mandalorian shit using their like uh rope get over here scorpion style that was cool one of the mandalorians very much color scheme looked like the holiday special boba fett i was like i wonder if that's a little nod that would be nice nice. And this made me want, in the next Battlefront game, pirates and Mandalorians as two teams. Usually it's just like Rebels, Empire, droids, clones.

This would be an awesome new one to add. I like having pirates. I don't know how big they were in the expanded universe, such as the cartoons and stuff like that. I liked having these pirates. It was a good ragtag collection of aliens that looked like pirates too it wasn't just like one race or whatever we've been a pussy face did you see the pussy face guy yeah i was like oh there's a pussy face guy vane was back he was

from the first episode he was the kind of the leader of that little pirate gang he wasn't the gory and shard but the guy who reported directly to him he was like the first mate he's the smee of the group and they had him spin out and get off again so we're gonna see him probably before the season's over shout out my guy vane for just pulling the fucking uh ejector button when he knew things were going wrong that's a pirate man that's pirate that is pirate life you know are we gonna learn to like like this guy somehow bob i'm falling for him i'm not gonna he has a look to him too he's like has a he like is a memorable guy so i kind of like him. Even though he is, like, a dick who wanted just a drink in a school, and he started, like, shooting at people.

People could change. Grief changed. Yeah, maybe this is Vane the New Grief. He could be. Or I could see, like, what was his name? Migs Mayfeld, Bill Burr's character, coming down and killing this guy. I'm not going to, like, throw the Clem supporting a villain behind a pirate. I know that's not a good

idea because pirates are they cannot be trusted those are those are murky waters oh little pirate makes you like on youtube subscribe good reviews the mandos were fucking shit up with every single weapon in their arsenal except for one bob the flamethrower did not come into play anywhere here maybe someone finally set him straight back at camp and they were like stop using that shit except for one, Bob. The flamethrower did not come into play anywhere here. Maybe someone finally set him straight back at camp and they were like, stop using that shit. It's embarrassing the whole clan. Maybe they were like, we're going to take the fuel from the flamethrower

and put it in your jetpack so you don't run out of it on the way to flying to the dragon. Right? Maybe they figured that was the thing now. Yeah. The pirates get the upper hand when they plant a turret down on the high ground.

It looked like the High Magistrate office, like that balcony that they overlooked. Yes, yep. So they plant a turret down. They start hitting it. Very video game-like again where it's like someone gets the turret, and you're like, all right, we're fucked down here. You can make the same thing. When you get the turret, it's the best feeling in the world.

I remember in Halo when they created the turret that you could rip off and, like, run with it. That was all time. And then the armor goes full-on hunter hearst helmsley triple h breaks out her sledgehammer and fucks all of these guys up with it gruesome hits like we've seen this before out of her she i remember she hit some stormtroopers made their mask like shatter into a million pieces but some of these are just blunt force like hammer to the skull now you have a dented Like, when the coroner comes in to, like, look at the bodies,

it's just a lot of, like, laser wound deaths that are pretty clean. And he's like, what the fuck got this guy? Did a rancor come in and just eat this guy's head off? It's like, nah, the armor came. Shout out to the Hunter Hearst Helms, because I'll tell you, Triple H's sledgehammer years, I think I might have did, like, a taking us to the weekend of just him using the sledgehammer. When he grabs the sledgehammer years. I think I might have did like a taking us to the weekend of just him using the sledgehammer.

When he grabs the sledgehammer from under the ring and he just holds it. And people are like blood coming down his face usually. People going nuts in the crowd. Such a great weapon. It was always an oh fuck moment when he grabs the sledgehammer. You're like, if you're rooting against him, you're like, oh fuck. And then if you're rooting for him, you're like, here we go. I'm about to get the win.

So that's basically her, you know know signature weapon in star wars at this point and i love it i think it works for her being the welder in the first place she knows how to use a hammer boom vane senses defeat ditches the captain ship just as he takes aim at the villagers and then mando and bow team up and they're able to take the ship down before they can get to any of the villagers i would assume uh the shard What was his name? Gorion Shard I would assume he's dead from this It's a shame to see him go He was a good little side villain

He got a lot of mileage out of him And if it's the end of him Which I think it is We could have more But it's the thing about pirates It's like the crab feeder Yeah, exactly Who's like a pirate in his own right, right?

Basically, yeah Greef Karga announces that the Mandalorians It's like the crab feeder. Yeah, exactly. Who's like a pirate in his own right, right? Basically, yeah. Greef Karga announces that the Mandalorians now have their own land on Nevarro. He's like, all the land west of whatever now belongs to the Mandalorians. They're accepted. They have a new home. He said, you might not have a home planet, but you do have a home. And the Fricks live.

All the Fricks appear to be alive at the end of it. They were going nuts. I was happy to see them. When he gives the land, I think of in like Game of Thrones when like they give like a bunch of they said they were going to give the land to the wildlings like well there's probably a ton of land that no one really wants that much in like the lava lands

and they just give it like in the north there's so much winter give it to the wildlings everyone's fucking happy and it looked like they went back to the old covert from season one because that's where the armorer wants to talk to Bo. I forgot that they started there in season one. I didn't watch the previously on it. I was like, oh, yeah, that's right.

They were hidden there. So she wants to talk to Bo. And she seems to believe her about the mythosaur sighting at this point. She's like, you can take that helmet off because I trust you as the one to unite all Mandalorians. The ones that don't wear helmets. The ones that do wear helmets. You're the one. Let's go upstairs.

Let's tell everyone that. They do go upstairs. They tell everyone. First, people are like, whoa, what the fuck? Why is she not wearing a helmet now? They're like, she's going to unite all Mandalorians. Is this going to cause a lust for the Darksaber?

Is she going to feel like she can't lead all Mandalorians without that Darksaber? I don't know. Because you're going to have... So, first of all all bow has the religious fanatics vote which is huge i watch my wire once you get like the the deacons on your side that was a big part about it you have to get all that you get the teachers unions you kind of got to get all that bow has a big contingency now however there's like probably the die die hards who think that this is the way people are like yeah but they don't even fucking listen to the Darksaber rules.

Bo got the fucking Darksaber just as I think other people have picked it up. Yeah, it was like handed to her, but not handed, but kind of, yeah, handed to her. And I'm just like, and I know it's going to probably come down to them going to have to fight it out for it or something. And I'm just annoyed. I'm like, she fucking got it, man. Just give it to her. Because I don't want, I don't want, I don't like confrontation. Maybe I should be watching Star Wars.

Mando doesn't really want it either. Mando's like, he's like, I'll use this thing if I have to. But every time he does, he slices off another piece of his skin. They're making skin grafts for him every time he uses the Darksaber. He's going to like, do you want him to fight me with it? Because he's going to probably kill himself by mistake. Then we're down another Mando. We can't be down Mandos if we want to take back Mandalore.

Next season, he's going to look like the guy from Monty Python. It's just a flesh wound. Yes, exactly. By the way, I want them to name their plot of land back Mandalore. Next season he's going to look like the guy from Monty Python. Just a flesh wound. Yes, exactly. By the way, I want them to name their plot of land New Mandalore. Oh, that's good.

Like New York. Like New Amsterdam. Like New England. Like the English people came over and then like New Asgard when the Asgardians moved on there too.

Yeah. Tune into The Dozen tonight. End game question. It's not related to that. I wouldn't have gotten it right.

You told me the question. I would not have gotten it right. You told me the question. I would not have gotten it. Oh, you wouldn't have. Yeah. So the ending of the episode, almost Twilight Zone-esque, I felt like. We see Captain Teva discover a transport ship that looked like an Imperial ship, but I guess they're transitioning all of those into the New Republic now.

And it's the ship that Moff Gideon broke out of. You see that the ship has some damage on it. I love those ships too. Oh, so good. Yeah, with the fold-up wings and everything. Yeah, the fold-up wings. That's my behind Millennium Falcon, maybe two or three with Star Destroyers. We saw some Y-wings this episode too. I thought that was cool. Yeah. Did you have the closed caption on for that scene?

Yes, I did. It said, Psychedelic Rock Place. I was like, I don't know if that's what I would call psychedelic rock, but I guess it's Star Wars. No, it ain't jizz. It ain't jizz. But he goes into this ship. Well, he sends like the R2 unit into this ship, a little drone to scope it out for himself.

There's no survivors on board. Moff Gideon is not on board. And he sees some Beskar on board. He's like, did the Mandalorians have to do with the breakout of Moff Gideon? Boom, episode over. This is the best cliffhanger we've gotten this season for sure. And it makes me want next week's episode like right now.

Did they break him? Like, I don't think our Mandalorians broke him out. But I think there could very much be bad Mandalorians that went and broke him out. We've seen bad Mandalorians in the past. Do you think that he's like their guy because he had the Darksaber? I think so. Okay. bad Mandalorians in the past. Do you think that they, he's like their guy because he had the Darksaber? I think so. Okay.

So, I don't, like, Mothgat, I forgot was even a thing. I know. I thought he was in some Maxim, I guess it's like, Magneto's always going to break out of jail just like he is no matter how little metal

you're going to have. They put him at the Arkham Asylum. Yeah, exactly. They always fucking get out. The Beskar being in there is like a real, it's like a WTF. And I think they're going to probably give us some misdirections maybe along the way.

Or did they get framed straight up? Like it was part of it, Kane. It was Kane all along. It's got to be Kane, Kane, Kane. She could have planted some Beskar from Moff Gideon's old collection. I'm sure he had some. He was part of the guys that like did the whole purge and everything. Also, did you know the R2, that little, it could just turn into a little drone i didn't know that and i was like that must be new

technology they didn't have back in the return of the jedi times right r2 has like fucking so many features that i didn't even know about yeah do you think r2 has bluetooth on him at this point yeah yeah i think he does he probably does he probably has like a one of those that pop out it's a speaker for parties at this point. And I guarantee he turns it up when the curse words are coming on. Like R2 loves that kind of like humor too. I always loved the idea that everything R2 is saying just had to be bleeped. He's such a vulgar guy.

He said, welcome to the freaking Guardians of the Galaxy. Didn't use freaking. Do you think the over looming threat is Moff Gideon in this season? Or do you think it is Thrawn, someone even above his head? I think it'll be, I think we'll see Thrawn, a Thrawn teaser will be the end of it. Whether or not it's even when we see the blue skin, or it's just, no, but this guy's the real problem.

You know, like, I think... That would be an all-time reveal. Going back to Giancarlo Esposito's show where I first saw him. I feel like Moff Gideon is Tuco. Yeah. Whereas you think this guy's really bad. You're just scratching the surface. Yeah, exactly.

Tight, tight, tight. Fucking Tuco is such a great character, man. Great character. One of the best. Before we get out of here here i do have a food take that i wanted to run by you we've had a lot of food discussions on my mom's some wars over it some wars some things that we bond over mint chocolate and stuff like that i wanted to just run this by you this was such a legitimate take that ran through my head as i was eating one of

these the other day i think oreo cakesters okay are the the best product Oreo has ever put out. I don't think it's – now, I said it. I don't know if it's a controversial take necessarily. I know a lot of people are huge on Oreos. I'm not personally. I like the thin Oreos better than the double-stuffed Oreos. I'm one of those guys. Let's just dip that one in the bud right now, because it's going to cause another –

I've heard the take, and I understand it too because I understand they are good. They're really good. I just like the ratio better on those, especially the ones that are mint thins. Yes, we're kind of exactly. They're kind of like thin mints. I think the cakesters, though, blow Oreos out of the water. I'd rather do two cakesters than a sleeve of Oreos. So I will say this. I personally think the double stuff is its best product. Maybe there's some nostalgia or I've probably eaten a million double stuffs in my life, right? Cakesters.

But your love, if you're giving love to cakesters, I ain't going to stop the love. So I'm happy. You're happy. If you know what I mean, I think cakesters are so good. Yeah.

I'm so happy. They brought him back. And I remember Jeff D low, like was crying tears of joy. Yeah. I mean, he, we did a, like a taste test in Chicago when he brought them back.

And we're like, they still taste like they did in the 2000s or 90s whenever they had them. So that, I will say, the Double Stuffed is my number one. And I will say there's these like the fudge covered, the fudge thins or something like that. Oh, yeah. You get yourself, I think they even have mint for those. You get yourself there and you're like, oh, boy. The Fudge Stuffins or something like that. Oh, yeah. You get yourself, and I think they even have mint for those. You get yourself there and you're like, oh, boy. The fudge stuffed are good. Mama Fox is a huge chocolate-covered Oreo person as well.

I love a chocolate-covered Oreo. I like the white fudge that they have around Christmas. Or at least you used to have them only during Christmas. I'm not a big white fudge guy. No? No. They were special. Not white fudge, not white chocolate.

Ah, okay. I like them, but it is a little bit of a different taste where if you don't like it, I'm not. That was my number one. Back in the day, I ranked best Christmas treats, and I think I had the white fudge as my number one. Yeah. But it's not for everyone. I'm a Christmas tree cookie guy, I think. Look at us.

We're not arguing. No, this is a pleasant discussion. Maybe we'll have to tier the Oreo catalog one day. Oh, that'd be fun. We'll tier it, and the S tier may look a little different for us but i think cakesters it's like a tier the cream in the cake but i don't think that the cream in the cakesters is like god's nectar it is so fucking good i i can't even tell you how good those things and those cakes are fucking so goddamn moist they must have so many chemicals it's just like

chemicals that we our brains couldn't even comprehend yeah it's shit're right. It's shit from a galaxy far, far away. It is. It's like when we went to Galaxy's Edge, they said, not meant for human consumption. This is the one take I've had forever, and I stand by it even though it would kill me. I want to have just Oreo stuff. Like the actual cream. Oh, just to scoop the stuff out? Because they'll always be like, oh, there's like an Oreo this, an Oreo that.

Very rarely do you have anything outside the actual cookies or like the casters that are actually Oreo, you know. Maybe for your birthday, I'll just scrape it off like a bunch of Oreo boxes, put it into a big vat for you. And you just see like all the old cookie crumbs and the old cookies. It'd be the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. All right, yeah, we'll see. We'll see about that. It might be a lot of work. Who knows?

We did get into – it was my niece's birthday party this weekend. We got into the Laffy Taffy discussion at the party. One of my cousins brought it up and was like, can we talk about how ridiculous that was and how justified Clem was for walking off the podcast? Thank God. I thought you were going to tell me he was another banana guy. Everyone thought I was crazy except for my mom who put me onto banana Laffy Taffy in the first place.

So that's, yep. And listen, my dad, his favorite starburst is Lemon. Weird. Exactly. Weird. Exactly, weird. If he got me into lemon, I probably would become a drone just like you are to your mom. True, true. I don't know what Rob's talking about. I love the banana.

We used to share them and watch the movies together. And then one of my little cousins tried one, and she said it tasted like vanilla ice cream. And I was like, I disagree. But I still love it. There is actually something it tastes like that no one ever can put their finger on it, but I know what it is. What? Sadness.

We're going to battle on the base of that. It was a pleasant discussion until then. Let's end the podcast. Let's come up with a hashtag for the people. What do we got? What was a good one? This one. What do we have this one?

Hashtag. Do we want to do like the character name that the guy from Rebels, his name was Zeb? The first thing that came to mind for me was like a Pulp Fiction reference. Yeah, I would say Zeb's dead. Zeb's alive. Zeb's alive. Zeb's alive. All right, that's good.

That's good. Instead of Zeb's dead, Zeb's alive. So use that hashtag if you've made it to the end. Hit us up on Twitter. Tell us what you thought of the episode. Let us know if you think that the big villain is going to be Moff Gideon or Grand Admiral Thrawn or someone else. Could be somehow Palpatine has returned before the last time he returned. Who knows?

Make sure you like the video again, and we'll see you next week.
