Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3G and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox. With me is my co-host, Clem, fresh off of a Disney vacation, which was a month after another Disney vacation, right after the Disney boys went to Disney. Clem went back with his family for five days am i right five days in disney uh five park days seven days six i don't even know it all blended there's just one long day one long yeah how are you doing are you are you alive are your feet okay are you bandaged up uh yeah dogs are barking dmx style Right now really bad The voice I think is gone we all have lost our voice

From screaming on Thunder Mountain and what not But Dude It was like I was trying to say I said this to my wife I was like I think Disney is like The most working vacation you can have As a human being if you want to do it right Where you're trying to get on schedule get everything done

Wake it up early in the morning get to the parks Now it's like all this stuff you have to do it right, where you're trying to get on schedule, get everything done, wake it up early in the morning, get to the parks, now it's like all this stuff. You have to make the reserve rides. It's just an absolute crazy thing, but it was 100% worth it. You spent a ton of money. You just go and be like, you're going to be tired, you're going to be broke, but you're going to have a good time if everything kind of works out for you.

So we did it. I had the blue milk. I had the blue milk. Oh, you did. You redeemed us. I reviewed it. I didn't upload milk. I had the blue milk. Oh, you did. You redeemed us. I reviewed it. I didn't upload the video. Dude, there is just not a minute of time. You just have just a post. Like, I would tweet something here or there.

I think I have like three tweets a day probably. The blue milk is good. It still feels weird that they didn't go with something that was like a blue, like a milk substance. Like, I don't want milk. I understand that. Milk in 90-degree Florida? That's like fucking ron burgundy milk was a bad choice right yeah so but uh it was tasty it was like a slushy i think he gave it like an eight two aj like just hammered it down he just basically drank it all himself so it's good for kids and it kind of gives you a little jolt so and you can throw some booze in it too so

our girl uh i called it the brew brew i feel like aunt baru everyone forgets like she's the one who introduced us to blue milk and she is uh the i feel like baru is our spirit animal in this podcast the badass bitch and tatooine just fucking firing guns that are hidden in the walls that's our girl right there i always laugh at the baru uh trailer that we made up in our minds listen while the force ghosts like luke and anakin are busy with their ancestors and stuff barue makes time for the basement boys she's the force ghost that we see exactly exactly we've and we did all the star wars uh did the star wars land the whole thing with uh obviously the dave story and we had a vip tour and she was telling me how roman reigns happened to be she goes uh the boat before us on small world uh i heard a like one of the guys who like gets you on the ride he was talking to our vip

tour guy he's like i just saw a purple guest and i'm guessing that means like vip vip and i was like oh wow and then after we got off and she's like oh yeah there's a wrestler uh starts with an r he has like a thousand day undefeated streak and i was like i think that's roman reigns to get he was on the boat before you for small world and i was like holy crap and i'm like do you have celebrities at all and she's like i've never had one but we just had barstool sports's um owner last month the creator of it all and i was like oh yeah that i was with him that was that was my god so dave is now the point we're like he's the celebrity that people

tell other people that they're there so that was a complete absolute mind fuck uh but i love it the legend of the disney boys thanks to dave yeah we are we were mentioned in uh hushed tones now as if we're almost like lord vader. We did all the Star Wars rides. AJ was the spy in Star Tours, which was awesome. Just pure luck of the draw there. Me and AJ flew the Millennium Falcon. I think we had 16% shield by the time we landed because AJ just doesn't know how to fly. And to be fair, I forgot that they did the inverted controls.

So I tried to go up. We were going down. And I just didn't know. So we got absolutely – it was the most rockiest ride you could have and rise of the resistance for anyone listening that loves star wars which if you don't love star wars why are you listening to this right now oh man that was a it was a hit people loved it it's a it's a great ride so um all things considered i had a blast i could not be happier to be back home right now also we're not even mentioning maybe the biggest news of the trip you reunited with aussie dave i reunited with aussie dave just

like happened to pass him i was like aussie dave he's like hey how's it going and like he kind of like said it and he turns around he goes clam and he just comes and just throws he had like a hand low i thought he was going for like a high five into a hug. Just gave me a big old bear hug. And he's the absolute man. So Aussie Dave, just with the light. And hopefully, God willing, next year for Star Wars Celebration, we'll see Aussie Dave. He's in Orlando.

He's a DJ down there. And he said, you know, if you guys come on down, let's do it. And I even think, I do think there's a chance Portnoy will go. Because he wanted to dress up so bad for this and i look we see this dave i think it just gets bored in florida now because he doesn't have any of the fucking circus he's grown to to know and love from barstool around him and i imagine just rubbing fucking elbows with the miami elite probably gets a little boring after a while sometimes he didn't mix it up with the boys.

It's Star Wars time. You can dress up, go to celebration. Then you can just get as weird as you want there. There's no Disney rules there. Frank can come there. We could have you in a Han Solo costume, Frank in a Boba Fett costume. Yeah, we'll extend the offer to Frank right now so people don't get their panties in a bunch because I don't know why Frank wasn't invited to the Disney Boys two years ago.

People are all mad. And Frank will thrive at that star wars celebration we have aj upstairs yelling like a a fucking tuscan raider right now i was hoping you were going star wars with that reference so it's it's chaos here it's a saturday morning but it's a lot of fun and again hopefully uh hopefully we get back to or soon.

Yeah. So the people have waited long enough. Let's get into the Star Wars news, the Mandalorian recap. Thank you everyone for your patience while Clem was on vacay. I didn't want to bother you at all while you were on vacay, but there was so much Star Wars news that I was like, should I text him this? He's going to be excited about this. I was like, nah, I'll just save it for the podcast. I ran a little Twitter poll on what people would like us to start with,

Star Wars Celebration News or the Mandalorian Recap, and Star Wars Celebration 1. So let's get into that. The biggest news right off the first day is that three new movies are announced. Now, this makes me a little bit nervous because Star Wars just keeps announcing things and canceling them and announcing them and canceling them. But I like all three, the concept,

at least for all three, the first one being a Dave Filoni directed Mando verse conclusion. So this will kind of be the end game, if you will, of the entire Mando Ahsoka skeleton crew book of Boba Fett saga. We don't even have a date for that. I don't think so. Who knows when that will come out? I don't know have a date for that i don't think so who knows when

that will come out i don't know what that means for din jarin will he will he be done after that will he die in that movie will he go on as a character and other shit i don't know we've got the james mangold dawn of the jedi movie james mangold if you're not familiar he's doing the new indiana jones movie he did logan he's done some great movies. 310 to Yuma, I think was him. He described this as a biblical epic, which I was like, holy shit, what does that mean? Biblical, you're taking us biblical. It's like the dawn of the force,

like the discovery of the force, the first Jedi ever to wield the force. Sounds cool. But I also don't know when that's coming out because he's got a Bob Dylan biopic coming out and he's writing swamp thing for or being one of the writers for swamp thing for dc and then stephen knight the guy who created peaky blinders and also did like one of the worst movies of all time according to ken jack serenity i think it's called is doing a movie bringing back daisy ridley as ray taking place

15 years post rise of sky about her rebuilding the Jedi order. I made a little video last night about my theory on this one. It would take place 15 years post rise of Skywalker, making Grogu 91 years old. If we know the Mando verse is wrapping up at some point, I don't think baby Yoda and his story is wrapping up. Even if that show is done, even if that whole saga is done, I think Grogu will appear alongside Ray rebuilding the Jedi order in this 91 year old Grogu. He's starting to mature at that point.

He's, you know, to take a word from guardians of the galaxy, he's kind of teen group. Yeah. It's going to be very interesting as we progress in baby Yoda's age where we no longer call him Baby Yoda anymore. Like you said, teen Groot. Would you say, I don't think you were even really alive for this, or if you were, you were very young.

I think Baby Yoda's first words are the most anticipated first words of a character since Maggie Simpson simpson which was a huge deal back when i was you know a sprout i was i don't remember that so i must have been too young yeah because i mean just sucking maggie would just suck in the pacifier all the time and it's a great episode if you haven't watched it i forgot the name of it it's uh it kind of goes through like all the all the simpsons as kids and basically basically, Bart always calls Homer, Homer. And then Lisa then follows Bart and always calls him Homer. But then Maggie calls him Dad. So that was like the big thing. Oh, is that her first word?

Yeah. That's nice. And it was a nice little story like The Simpsons always does with a lot of humor involved. But our boy, like, baby, yo, the first word, big deal. You got to get that voice because the cooing is fucking tens right it's just like baby groot and baby groot is just saying all he says is i am fucking groot that's all he does baby yo when he starts talking and yoda has kind of uh like

10 out of 10 in terms of like great you know yeah that was good that was really good i i realized this on vacation i am an elite yoda uh you know yoda you seek yoda i am an elite yoda impersonator here wow you really are we need to utilize that at some point yeah i have the chubaca r2d2 uh pissed off mickey mouse and now yoda you're vulgar mickey yeah you got the south park mickey so to get to that level anywhere near yoda the king in terms of like a character and everything it's going to be very interesting because like you said din jar and if he's cooked at the end of that uh poloni movie we still have baby yoda and like that motherfucker ain't going nowhere anytime soon you know no from a perspective and i think just a story perspective and a very

unique has the forest but also has the whole mandalorian background he could be fucking wielding the dark saber by uh that movie that you know what i'm calling it now april 8th 2023 baby yo will be wielding the dark saber at the end of the at some point during the right movie the beginning or end it will happen he's also got as far as i know they're the only two with the connection of force healing i think they they're the only two jedi who can do that who can like heal a cut by using the force because i remember that was a big deal baby yoda did that like the weak rise of skywalker came out and people were like oh that's the connection that they introduced and i was like i think that might be coincidence but who knows out of the three which excites you the most feloni by a hundred

thousand million so so that's the other thing is this was the first vacation where i really unplugged like i've done i've had a couple of vacations that were a couple days long as much as a week during those occasions i would write probably about half as much as i would usually write i do every podcast episode this one this was like a okay my brain hasn't recovered from the pandemic i need to just get the fuck off the internet and the internet is like it's you know how twitter is right it's it's toxic even when it's not toxic the med season just started i have all the fucking meds fans ready to jump off a bridge i came back and i started checking twitter my mentions it's just like people just talking i'm like oh yeah that's right we live in this world as well so i just had to unplug all together i went on and the first thing i saw

i didn't know celebration was taking place this week the first thing i saw was femoni i go holy now i didn't realize it was a mandoverse um wrap up at first I thought he was doing an independent movie kind of just bridging the gap between Jedi and Awakens. Mandoverse changes it a bunch, but I think it also makes it much more in his wheelhouse right now, because this is the story he's built, and kind of, let's be honest, it brought the Star Wars

fans back together after the fucking Last Jedi ripped us apart. So that's by far the number one, because I do think there will be other Star Wars elements sprinkled in, obviously, that will lead to the Force Awakens kind of stuff. I'll be interested to hear your take, though.

What's yours? Out of all three, it is the Filoni one for me as well, because I love this Mando story so much. I do worry. I feel like Din Djarin is that almost han solo type character like you know how harrison wanted han to die in return of the jedi i feel like din jarin might die to you know save grogu or to take back mandalore and save everyone else starting as a selfish character becoming a completely selfless character i really do see that for him and i feel like it could be

end game in that way where like they could make that as sad as you know i am iron man oh yeah like our boy um our boy baby yo it's like i love you 3000 if tony stark's daughter watched him die because i think grogan will be on the battlefield as this is all going down right exactly now i have to admit i might be alone in this i almost feel like i don't i feel like that's kind of his destiny destiny it is your destiny i just feel like it's almost like i don't know maybe just because mandalorians and bounty hunters are so such warriors by nature it's like they're all gonna probably just die like that at some point There's not a lot of Mandalorians. They just put the helmet, they hang it up, put the feet up on the couch and retire.

You die on the battlefield or you die on the way to the battle. There's just no other way to go about it. I'm not even going to be like, I'll be upset. I won't be surprised if and when that happens. I hear what you're saying. I feel the most at ease about this movie,

which is someone that obviously did not like the sequel trilogy. I feel like he will, this, this is the highest floor and the highest ceiling by far of all. it's probably going to be like thrown as the big villain here as well. You would have to assume this is like thrown as Vader. Almost. I think this is his period.

Cause that's the thing is the time periods, I don't know. And I imagine all the other casual Star Wars fans don't know where, even Ahsoka, I don't know where that fits in terms of timeline because I know Ahsoka was, basically, she came around, what, in the Clone Wars is where we meet her, around then? As a kid in the Clone Wars. But her show, I believe they're going to do some time jumps in her show but a lot of it's going to take place in the same era as mando so she is when she

was introduced in i think it was the the magistrate i think that might have been the name of the episode she was looking for thrawn and she'll continue that search for thrawn in her show thrawn announced this morning to be played by Lars Mikkelsen, who voiced him in the Rebels cartoon. This was like the biggest pop of Star Wars celebration yet. They walked him out on stage and people went absolutely wild because he has such a good voice for that character, a sinister voice for that character. And it made no sense to recast him, in my eyes, because he has also the same look kind of looks like throne so i love that they're bringing him back i think that this is going to be a big movie for him the james man gold movie i'm also very excited about he's crushed every movie he's put out so far and if the new indiana

jones crushes it with you know an 87 year old three plane crash later harrison ford i think this one is going to be like a surefire home run and then the steven knight one i'm probably the the most positive about this because i'm such a ray fan i'm such a sequel trilogy fan i actually did text dave about this i texted him the little uh lights camera barstool tweet he wound up saying let's go about it um steven knight loved that he created peaky blinders worried that he created apparently the worst movie of all time, but we'll see. So, yeah, Ken Jack said in his blog that it was a movie where the guy's in a video game and he acts as his dad and fucks his mom. I'm like, all right, this is getting, I mean, there is a little hint of inbredding in Star Wars, right?

We get the kiss on the cheek with Leia and Luke in the the beginning and i don't like to talk about it but yeah we even had the tweet the other day on disney plus where they completely boned oh i'm not gonna say the word bone when talking about those two together so um the the the one that's so we're going all the way back to it's uh the old republic right it's like pre even before that i think this is like 25 000 years before and this is the first jedi ever we're dealing moses in the desert fucking learning how to move a rock with his his brain that's the kind of stuff we're dealing with i love it it's gonna okay it can't be worth the midichlorians right so let's just start i feel like it could be heady it could be religious hopefully it doesn't get too crazy religious and earthy and stuff like that but like i feel like dude we all love the force we all have tried to move stuff with our brains

i try to do it this week i'm going to be honest with you guys um it's just one of those cool things there is like the the jedi religion aspect of it that we've always wanted and the fact that okay europe's you're worried about there being a chunk of new movies being announced which i had no idea was even coming i'm happy it's three i'm happy we're not going five i'm happy we don't have a mcu timeline with seven shows 18 movies and everything's there uh let's just get these three right, or just don't completely botch them at the very least. This is my number two. That's my number two in terms of excitement is I do think there's a lot of cool things. The Rey movie, I love Daisy Ridley. I liked her

character. I thought the actress was great. There was a few other people in there. There was just so much bad stuff though. Okay, Last Jedi aside, we clearly disagree on Last Jedi. Pretty sure, actually, forget Mando. Pretty sure Rise of Skywalker united the fan base more than Mando because everybody fucking hated that movie, right? Yeah, I mean, I was the most positive about it, but even by the end, I was like, I can't believe they're kissing. Oh, my God, what's happening right now you know so because of that it's like it does seem kind of like i it seems kind of crazy

that they're going to continue that and just go all right but ray was so good and we're just going to be like basically first five minutes of movie just spray some febreze and there will be like all right all that stuff from you know whether you liked episode eight whether you liked episode nine even if i know there's people who don't like episode seven spray the febreze get the it's smelling better again and we can go forward with obviously an actress and a character that a lot of people love i think it could work portnoy will be fucking proud promoting the shit out of this movie pumping up right so that'll get all like the casual that'll probably make some fucking non-Star Wars fans Star Wars fans just because it did, right?

So, and again, it's kind of like what they're doing with Mando and they're kind of maybe fixing the sequel trilogy from the back end. They could probably do it from the future too and kind of make it work as well. I don't know if they could ever truly fix those movies. I think the prequels could have been saved. They should just say, Darth Jar Jar was

the correct way to go about it. We completely fucked that up. We apologize. Maybe we make a Darth Jar Jar episode 2. Wouldn't be opposed to that. But with the Rey one, I'm excited for you too. I'm excited for you. I'm excited for Dave. I know how much you guys both love Daisy Ridley. Yeah, we're going to fight over her

probably. The thing that finally rips apart uh dave and bob is uh disney daisy ridley yeah i saw dave is in venice today happy birthday uh sylvan a nice trip for them but i tweeted him take the fellas next hashtag venice boys trying to get us on our next trip you know um but that febreze you're talking about that might be grogu you know if you throw him in there for some people that hated the sequel trilogy who hates grogu you throw them on screen together and you might be like all right i'm down with this first five minutes you get them lifting rocks together doing flips together you know there there should be like a super cut of just grogu fixing all the trilogies that like fix the prequels and he's just cooing on

and then you have to do the same thing during the stupid casino scene in the last jedi and he's just in there cooing you're like oh look at that guy oh oh there was a scene taking place i don't even remember it and then at the end it's like oh everything's basically empire at this point it's all perfect there needs to be just a button on your remote that has them flash on screen so when at whatever you don't like in the movie you hit the button and grogu appears i like the button basically yeah all right we'll do the the fucking meme here which i still don't know the name of the product where the waters leak and just smash some baby grogu on it and it's i've been saying the g word way too much baby yoda his name is fucking baby you're getting used to grogu i know they

were calling him grogu in the parks and stuff like that so it got in my head i'm like it's fucking baby yoda shut up guys we also got the trailer for ahsoka plenty of the rebels crew were present here we saw harrah we saw sabine they even brought chopper out on stage now clem chopper who i refer to as kind of the r2d2 of the crew he's voiced by dave filoni and in star wars canon he is the biggest war criminal with the biggest kill count in the history of the galaxy he's killed over 50 000 droids and humans he is not to be messed with is he so let's see chopper throws imperial droid overboard that's the first uh result i got when i searched for chopper because everyone tells me like you're going to absolutely love

chopper i didn't realize he has a fucking body count like that 50 000 clem 50 more than anyone in star wars can and he's the biggest war criminal out there he can fire lasers from the ship from the ghost he's like a gunner he just electrocutes the shit out of people sometimes walks up to him nice to meet you joker he does the hand buzzer kind of like the hand buzzer but more sinister more evil chopper you don't mess with him so and he doesn't just kill droids he kills like living creatures too oh yeah i mean i couldn't be more in on chopper i i almost have them i have to check myself because again it's like when you go to the movie here you know 99 rotten tomatoes you're like oh this will be perfect i have to just pump the brakes on myself because

like then it's a good name i saw uh i think ken jack said he is like r2d2 but dumber which i kind of love too so it's like i kind of just love a big crazy killing fucking oaf of a droid i i and the kids are gonna love them too so i know i have to go back rebels clones and this is the thing this is what i learned this trip and right before this trip the kids are obsessed with star wars again we watched all the movies to get them ready we went to the land they were completely taken in by it aj had uh fifty dollars to spend anywhere in Disney. First thing he bought, I told you he was going to buy that sword of pirates of the Caribbean. I said to you, when we went, I said, that is going to be the one thing AJ wants. He goes, dad, I want that sword.

I knew that a month ago, you weren't even here. And I knew that. And then he had 25 bucks left and he goes, I want these toys are here. And it was all the Mandalorian, like you have baby. Yo, you have a jar and you have Mo Yo You have Din Djarin you have Moff Gideon whole bunch of the guys They are diehards for this so now Once we've caught up we finished the original Trilogy we'll dabble in the other two trilogies Obviously because I hate them not gonna

Not push the thing but go back To clones go back to rebels and So where is Chopper which one Rebels okay yeah They will they will love both shows i think they'll love rebels even more though really i had no idea rebels was this i've heard clone were so much i didn't know rebels was anywhere close to it in terms of quality i guess because it was first right clone wars clone wars was first and uh rebels was also on like Disney XD. So it's a little less violent, a little less dark at times, but it's still very good.

Like there's a lightsaber battle between Darth Vader and Ahsoka, the one that they kind of mirrored in Obi-Wan where his helmet gets slashed. That's as good as anything in Clone Wars. So I'm really excited for this. I think Ahsoka is going to crush it. Rosario Dawson is the perfect lead for this series and the first poster is just a picture of her face but goddamn it looks cool and thrawn is thrawn is the guy for me that i'm most excited for other than apparently chopper the 50 000 person enjoyed killing motherfucker uh thrawn can you compare thrawn is he like okay tell me is this wrong i've heard he's like super

smart calculating like leader imperial is he almost like a gus fring of the empire oh that's honestly that's a pretty good comparison like yeah he oversees it he's more of a strategist than darth vader like he'll outsmart you with ships and a fleet before he'll stand you down with a blaster or lightsaber you know he's he'll always just outsmart the rebels so gus fring is actually a pretty good comparison because gus fring other than the the box cutter the famous box cutter he doesn't really get his hands dirty like that you know and i imagine when he has to he will get his hands dirty if he has to slit a motherfucker's throat just and he's cold like that

so yeah i i think that's a pretty apt comparison does he have a mike aaron trout i can't say airman trout i can't i can never say his name does he have like a right hand man that does the dirty work for i i gotta rewatch but i just love he's got it he's got a crew he's he's got a crew of of like his own people which i'm very interested to also see like is gideon one of his people and i don't know but we're gonna see an episode next week that i'm hearing is the best episode of the mandalorian ever i have a friend shout out my friend vinny vegas who is in star wars celebration right now he's at star wars celebration with his brother. They got an early screener of the whole episode. He could not stop raving to me about this episode.

He's like, I'm telling you, he loves Rogue One. He's like, it's better than Rogue One. It's better than any episode of the Mando in history. He's like, it's so theatrical. He's like, I can't believe we got to watch it in a theater because it felt like a movie. So look forward to next week. I trust Vinny Vegas when it comes to Star Wars news. You should too. we got to watch it in a theater because it felt like a movie so look forward to next week i trust vinny vegas when it comes to star wars news you should too all right so i mean like again i'm gonna have to pump the brakes on this one because i'm going in expecting fucking empire nothing less i will be upset about it so let's fucking rock and roll man let's keep it going all right and now let's get into chapter 22 of the Mandalorian, Guns for Hire. You just watched this last night, right?

Like right off the flight? I watched this right off the flight, got home. You know when, did you ever have a thing where if you turned on a certain street, you knew you were like basically home? It was like one of my childhood memories and right on sevens here. And I live a block away or neighborhood away from my parents, so it's the same thing. And now my kids get to experience like, oh, I'm i was somehow in 93 degree weather now it's 39 degree weather the numbers have flipped on us and you're just so shot and i'm gonna tell you bob i don't know what the reaction to this was i did see a couple like tweets people are tweeting mandalorian stuff

and i had to kind of like scroll by them so i didn't see anything spoiled. There's like two episodes I watched. There's like a Mandalorian episode. And then there's a fucking, I had like seven different comparisons to it as we'll go through the episode. I don't know what the fuck, I don't know if it was because I was so out of sorts from a week at Disney and then a flight through the day and just kids. But I thought it was,

I was like in a fever dream watching this. I'm the only person that was like this because i am so fucking confused by the end of this thing no this is a polarizing episode for sure and especially for hugh coming back from epcot and watching an episode where they go to star wars epcot must have been like what in the fuck is happening here but yeah this this was a polarizing one. Let's get into it. It was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. She's done two episodes in the past.

She did the introduction of Bo-Katan. And this was a big episode for Bo as well and her whole crew, who we start with. It starts with this weird Romeo and Juliet love story between a Quarren and a Mon Calamari. The Mon Calamari was played by tom holland's younger brother harry little fun fact for you they gave him a little cameo the quarin in the tank eating the fish they dumped in the little fish eats it creepy as fuck with their mouths i don't mean to be hey against the quarin whoa don't get us fucking canceled here no it was creepy i saw our guy uh heavy spoilers actually you're wearing his shirt

right now he compared it to doctor who and i agree with that comparison it felt weird like in that doctor who way sci-fi bob you better just like watch it right now man that's the culture right there you do not want to piss them off that is the way that they have to eat oh man we're gonna get well i don't know fucking planet they're from, but this isn't... I'm looking up Harry Holland right now, by the way, because I kind of want to buy stock in him. Yeah. I don't know.

They gave him a cameo in No Way Home, but it got cut. Oh, did it? That's a tough look. That's a tough look. He's in the Super Fun Edition on Starz, if you have Starz. Ooh, okay. He kind of looks like... You can definitely see the brother resemblance of him.

All right, I'm not buying. You know, if Harryand goes on to be bigger than tom holland god bless i'm not buying i just don't see it right now and then they have like a new hope reference where you see a giant ship come over the the quarren ship and the quarren ship was so cool right away you could tell it was like oh those are the fish people and my girlfriend said it right away too like a non-star wars fan as soon as she saw the well she's a star wars fan but not a diehard hardcore as soon as she saw the ship she was like oh that's the fish people right it was like yes everyone knows just based on the design it's a brilliant design um but they have that giant was it gideon ship from last season it certainly looked like it um oh yeah i don't know in the same bridge i think it might have been

they come over they're like we're gotta we gotta take this prince back they do come in costco reeves takes him in that's sasha banks she had like two seconds in this episode maybe 20 seconds being realistic wrestling fans were acting like she should win an emmy for her performance it was crazy wait wrestling fans overreact some no not wrestling fans kevin kFC said this week that like Mets fans are star Wars fans where it's all the complaining and the doomsday. And it's like, I think wrestling fans,

there's a very shared brain between those three factions. Oh yeah. Um, and now here we go. The Mandalorian. He comes into the episode. Bum, bum,

him and Bo go to pleasure. 15, a.k.a. Epcot. This is like another heavy spoilers reference. He said it looks like the Utopia meme, like the world if blank didn't exist or whatever. That is literally what this thing looks like. They have the domes, which I think are supposed to remind us of Mandalore a little bit, how Mandalore could look eventually in the future. The ship is taken over as they go into the atmosphere and they're just taken to like a docking bay where they're greeted by goth R2D2 and C3PO. And then they get on the people mover,

which is another Disney thing. I said the welcome music and like the message straight out of Disney. I honestly was very confused. I'm like, I don't know if this is just me saying that the fact that you said that makes me feel a lot better about how it all, because it really was a complete mind fuck for me, how it all went down.

By the way, do we know this guy, Ace Wolves? Like, do you know him? Is he a, is he a part of the, the Boca Ton crew from last season?

Okay. Okay. And he was not in the Bo-Katan crew from last season. Okay. Okay. And he was not in the finale because it's more of like a, not specifically girl power thing, but, you know, it was all the girls. But was he in like Rebels? And does he have like a whole thing? Okay. Okay.

I didn't know if he's like a fleshed out character that everyone, oh man, Axewolves is back. Let's fucking rock and roll here. Also, get it right, Axe Wolves. Oh yeah, you know what? Which is even more badass, to be honest. He kind of sounds like a porn star, but. I actually, I had it as Axe Wolves.

It got auto-corrected to Ace Wolves. So I have a- I have a fucking note. A note just working for the empire. All right, now here's where the fever dream really begins though in this episode. Oh boy. They're brought before Jack Black and Lizzo, the two people I would never expect to see in The Mandalorian.

Two people I love, to be honest. Lizzo, I see you. Jack Black, School of Rock, one of my favorite movies of all time. I love Tenacious D. Two people that took me out of the episode right away, though. And I think took a lot of people out of the episode. My girlfriend said this feels like an SNL skit right away and i kind of agree oh i kind of agree that might have been the call the episode and it's like i hate to say that because again

these are two people i truly am a fan of jack black and lizzo i love that lizzo got this opportunity to be in star wars she had a nice tweet where she says her father showed her star wars like a rite of passage this was like something she wishes her father could have seen i'm sure they gave it their all i just couldn't focus on anything where they were on the screen she's tempting baby yoda with the food he does his jump thing which sent your tiktok off again this week got like 40 000 extra views because of this definitely yes and i did like the jack black character story where he's an imperial who's now married a duchess and he can't build an army or military on this planet because he's a former imperial so they have to outsource security and they only let bow and mando in because weaponry is part of their religion like all of that was good

i just couldn't focus on it because Cause it was Jack black talking about it. Yeah. And so you throw Jack black and Lizzo in a star Wars episode or movie, whatever it may be. That's fine. But when you make it like they quantum mania it, where it's like the fancy part of like the bill Murray part of quantum mania and everything's larger than life.

It's colorful. They're, they're acting extra crazy and wacky. And I was like, i was like i was like did i did i have some three cheat like on the plane like what's happening i felt like i was i felt like i was in another galaxy far far away it was such a mind fuck and it was 11 at night and i was extremely i was overtired and i i thought shit was going on so i'm happy to know and again you there's ways to do it with they do it all the time where they throw a guy a fucking stormtrooper I was overtired and I thought shit was going on. So I'm happy to know. And again,

you there's ways to do it with, they do it all the time where they throw a guy, a fucking storm trooper helmet on them. It's harder. Like, be like, Hey, Jack black.

Don't be Jack. We need Jack black to be Jack black. I understand. Yeah. But to make them like such an important part of the episode, it was just, okay. So I'm not alone in this. Cause I was,

again, I get very Nervous when I have to criticize Something and then it's like you know Jeff D. Lowe's always like oh the Star Wars fans with Poop in their diapers it's like man can I just Like give my opinion if you guys love it you love it I don't love it here I didn't love this

One I just didn't love it so I Sorry if this affects I'm just gonna Say sorry so I have a Very like similar take as you like i did not really like any of the jack black lizzo scenes but it didn't ruin the episode for me i actually liked everything except their scenes in the episode pretty much it was basically two episodes i thought yeah or you know there's two stories in it the a story the b story and i enjoyed the b story it's just the a story it was like and again it was just all right it was fucking ridiculous

i'm sorry it was fucking ridiculous and i i want to re-watch it again but i was so fucking confused and i just wanted to okay i'm happy i missed the twitter discourse for it there was probably some really good memes and jokes made along the way i might have to go back and read them maybe i'll go on the reddit and see what everyone said uh but maybe we'll get like a tenacious d lizzo go have all that fun maybe make a star wars song together i don't know i'm just spitballing here but that could be the best thing to come out of it this episode this storyline was not the best thing to come out of it we're just gonna say that it's not fucking goofy now from a cameo that took me out of the episode to a cameo

that i actually loved and thought fit perfectly in the star wars universe we meet christopher lloyd in this episode as well i thought christopher lloyd was like a character that fit he felt right um he was the head of security so basically lizzo and jack black tell mando and beau their city's facing a droid problem which felt like a very clone warsy problem this felt like a story arc that anakin and obi-wan would settle on that show yes no army can enter their city because of the weaponry and everything but because of the technicality of weaponry being part of these mandalorians religion they're allowed in they have to act as security so christopher lloyd's the head of security who, nothing is going on with these droids really other than slight malfunctions.

He shows them some footage. There's a malfunction of like a couple of speeders. There's garbage droids that go in. And then there's like one at a hibachi place that starts throwing knives at people. And it's like, all all right that one is that one's a bad malfunction and but he assures him like the citizens want this to keep happening like they voted to keep the droids up and running i love that the citizens are like yeah there's like a 0.01 chance we're gonna get murdered in horrific fashion by a droid malfunction but the other 99.99

percent of the time we don't have to lift a finger to do anything so we're cool with that one so i thought that was that was pretty funny and like basically the most human moment in the entire star wars anthology was just people being like nah we're cool if i fucking the the uh onion volcano lights a fire and lights my ass up and kills my whole family so be it we didn't have to do anything you know in life basically it had a little bit of like uh i had a little bit mirroring of like the current ai state we're in where i feel like this could be the final result of it all right here a little too real and a little too real yes oh god they would vote to keep him running but he's like it's not our fault that they're malfunctioning go talk to the ugnots that's

who makes them it's the ugnots fault and i like. Go talk to the Ugnaughts. That's who makes them. It's the Ugnaughts' fault. And I like that we got to see some Ugnaughts. He goes down. He drops Queel's name. Drops an I have spoken. And they respected Queel's name. He's like a respected figure among the Ugnaughts. Dude, maybe the biggest Leo pointing at the screen meme moment for me ever was when he said i have spoken and i'm like oh

he said the thing i was going fucking crazy remember how big i have spoken was it was bigger than this is the way for a hot minute there and then obviously our boy passed and it's all gone but i have spoken that was a glorious couple of weeks on twitter there i I don't know, man. I love that. I miss that dude a lot. What's his name? Quiel? I miss him so much. I don't even know his goddamn name.

Nick Nolte. Yeah, Nick Nolte. Nick Nolte. Nick Nolte. Robbie. Is it not Nolte? It's Nolte. Nick Nolte.

Nolte. I like that. Papa Della Bella coming at you there. I'm going to give him a little Italian. Give him a little pizzazz on that last name. I loved just this. My favorite thing about this planet was just that they repurposed all their old Imperial shit that like,

I mean, they do the Imperial shit better than the Imperials did. Right. Yeah. They have the robots, they have the starter store, they have the storm trooper outfits, the guy,

but they're not wearing the helmets. That was cool. Yeah. There's a lot of very cool shit here that uh again i love seeing the old like what's the word i'm looking for like old like destroyed like you have the old battleships you'll start a destroyer in the sand that's just crashed and burned like the remnants of the war yeah but if you reuse and recycle baby to keep the galaxy clean i love that too and i kind of like how they're doing a good job.

That was by far my favorite point of the part of the Jack black stuff is how he repurposed everything to be functional for him. And then like, kind of like found all his little, I love how they're just finding ways to, they have all these little conundrums and they're like, well, we can't get an army.

So we'll just get some Mandalorians in here and we can't do this. So we're just going to do that. That that is like uh that's like the barstool blogger in them just coming out it's like well yeah our back end can't do shit so we'll just say play this song as you listen read the blog and stuff like that um so they are also assured by the agnostic that it's not their fault either so they're like oh jesus this is it felt like an svu episode to me where it's like they find the guy that leads them to the guy that leads them to the guy that leads them to the true story you know so they go down to the docks and we get battle droids which i love to hear in a battle droid be like no you are not authorized to do that sir roger roger i love hearing that voice

brings me right back to my childhood watching the phantom menace a thousand times over and over again and mando i've seen some people make this comparison on twitter he's kind of a racist cop when it comes to these droids let's just call it as it is he's being a little too aggressive he walks up to these droids and he just starts kicking him like right in the side of the leg like where meatball molly kicked me and he's like one of these things is going to start reacting soon one of them does one of them just takes off running immediately. I'm like, holy shit, I've never seen a super battle droid run like that.

If they were running like that in the Clone Wars, we might have been in trouble as the Jedi, you know. But he runs after it. Bo eventually shoots it down. And then police tape droids come out of nowhere. Police tape droids are one of my favorite parts of the episode because that is such a practical thing in the star wars universe that would exist and the way they made it look with a hologram version of the tape i thought that was brilliant and they find a chip on this super battle droid from a bar they're like oh this is from so-and-so's bar so they go to the droid bar music stops record scratch immediately everyone turns and looks at him. Like, I guess we don't have, I guess they don't get much of Archon here.

There's some DJ Rex droids in the bar. If you're a Star Wars Disney person, you saw them. And the bartender swears up and down, voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard's husband, that he wants to help. He's like, I swear, I know it looks like we're, you know, giving these droids a drink or oil, whatever it is that makes a malfunction. But we want to help. We want to continue being repurposed. Some of these people are imperial droids, separatist droids. This is the only planet where they would be allowed.

So trust me, we're not trying to take it over. So they're like, all right, let's talk to this guy. They bring him to the back and he goes through all these like little things. And I love that scene where he's like like i love that dude i love that line it wasn't that sick um and they find out they all ordered this one drink called napenthe and they're like oh shit napenthe so let's go to the morgue they go to a fucking literally a droid morgue they pull them out like they're doing an autopsy they draw some blood or oil whatever that is from them and all of these little nano droids have an encryption on them that was they name dropped the techno union that's who

was originally commissioned by but written by commissioner hellgate aka christopher lloyd so basically all of that mumbo jumbo means christopher lloyd is the reason the droids are malfunctioning in the first place a ball droid also tries to kill him during this is a fun little action scene there and all this so first of all the chase scene with the droid felt prequely right yes i feel like there was a was there how many chase scenes were there in the prequels i know there was the one i believe in episode two where they're beginning of episode of episode two, very much vibes of that. Right. Where they're going after old Changerface. Yeah, old

Changerface. I love that the droids have their bar, the resistor. It feels like they've kind of been shunned. Obviously, you know, you're kind, aren't welcome here. And the resistor almost feels like this is the droid bar that we are allowed at. A little bit of a like a gay bar

feel too where it's like they are not with the traditional side of the kind of getting their own which by the way me and ken jack were not allowed in the bar at first we went to disney because we got lost for you guys and there's reservations and the lady's like um you know what you have a reservation we're like yeah they're like what's the name like jeff d low which i see the fucking paper and it says jeff d low reservation for like six or eight or whatever it was and she still wouldn't let us in i'm like yo we're c3po and r2d2 trying to get into most iceland so i now know what it feels like to be oppressed for being a droid in a bar and i did not think it was right a lot of people are going a lot of different ways with the vibes of this scene or the whole plot of the robots kind of turning evil

and they're giving you all these things. Your boy Clem here, I'm giving you one that is more accurate than what anyone else is saying and not a lot of people probably know this. Zootopia. If you watch Zootopia and all the predators fucking become bloodthirsty and there's some nefarious thing at length from

someone higher up it's basically just utopia it's robot utopia robotopia boom there you go that's why you guys tune into the basement you don't know i'm gonna drop a disney movie on your fucking face out of nowhere that's what it all felt like to me bokatan is officer judy hops i love you know the full name too god bless that is crazy. I had. I don't know if it's still back there. No, it's not back there. It's in the closet, I think.

But I have the Fox as a fun co-pop. Jason Bateman. I don't even know the Fox's name. I should know the Fox's name. So then you should know the Fox's name. I'm shocked you don't. You know Judy Hopps. That's Din Djarin.

He's the – Oh, he – And yeah, because he's kind of a bad boy, but he turns into a, you know, you like him in the end. And his little guy that he makes popsicles with is Baby Yoda. I mean. Nick Wilde. Nick Wilde. Did we just fucking, we might've just broken the Mandalorian for people.

Mandalorian is Zootopia, guys. How do you not see it? When, and Lizzo was Shakira who sings the song oh yeah and if you haven't seen zootopia like that is a must watch that that is a one of those kids movies that is amazing for adults as well there's like breaking bad easter eggs and yes yes yes which we've already let know how much we love breaking bad or at least i do oh my god yeah all right so they confront hell gate he threatens to hit the fail safe button and go crazy he doesn't ever really give like uh a reason for doing this he's a separatist from back in the day so like they are kind of the droid people but he just reveals

himself as a crazy count dooku loyalist he's like i have never backed down count dooku was right he shouldn't have been pressed uh the Jedi Order or whatever. And then she just shoots him with a taser and she's like, politics. I love that line. Like, we're not dealing with fucking politics in Star Wars anymore. I love that. I think he called Count Dooku a visionary. And I'm like, is Count Dooku getting shouted out for being a visionary when I still don't... He was a replacement for the

Darth Jar Jar Void that was fucking created due to the panning of episode one, which okay, I'm not going to go down to Darth Jar Jar Void at all again. But I'm just going to say this much. This is probably how Alex Jones felt when he first started getting subscribers.

A lot of people are going to be like, Clem, that blog that you wrote there's some very good points being raised i'm like thank you this fucking reddit that has a million things so i have to just be very careful i'm not going to go down that um this also might be uh first of all that red button that thing could just cause like turn every robot kind of a crazy thing to just have out there where if someone like bumps biggest red button there was like a there was a little it was like the thing at the bank a little like a plastic shield over it it's like the little tube you put something in at the bank but yeah he could just take the tube away anytime he wanted like bring your kids to work day if it

was bring your kids to work day and i was working there aj would have smashed that fucking button the entire planet would be wiped out by battle droids. What are we doing? Christopher Lord. Like, and maybe because he is such a separate, he doesn't give a fuck. He kind of wanted someone to do it. Maybe. I don't know.

It was almost. Okay. So I've, again, I had a lot of weird pop culture comparisons going on. Again, the brain was in weird mode last night. A little bit of Newman from Jurassic park when he's a programmer,

we just fuck everything up. And this entire scene where we meet the guy early, the crazy guy, and we're like, whatever, he's on our side. You go, you find out it's him, and he's like, I would have gone away if it wasn't for you stinging kids. It was a Scooby-Doo episode. My brother texted me the same exact thing.

He texted me a picture of Christopher Lord from this episode, and he wrote, I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids. I can't believe you said that that is crazy all right so you know what i have to go to disney more because the brain is cooking overtime yeah and and then i added this too with the jack black when we meet jack black this felt like almost like a make-a-wish or like uh didn't it feel like that like they won a contest to be in the mandalorian yeah it's like they had they're like exclusive hollywood parties and they had a raffle and they're like jack black and lizzo or it was a mad libs i don't know no listen i hate to say that too because i love them

both i'm not hating on them i'm really not like and i don't even think it was their fault necessarily i just don't think they they they meshed you know like they they take us out of the episode a little bit they're almost too famous. Lizzo's too. Ken Jack said Lizzo's too currently famous for this, and I agree. It's like Ed Sheeran. Remember when Ed Sheeran just started singing Shape of You in the Forest in Game of Thrones? And it's like, what the fuck?

That is a great comparison. Yeah, it took us out of it. Listen, when we get our Cameo in Star Wars And Marvel Like I don't want to be front and center The millions and millions of people Will be like, Clem, I know Clem from Barstool Sports

I just can't have that happen So just put me in the background You want a heavy spoilers guy to have to point you out And be like, that's actually so and so That's what you want You see that big fat head in the back that's clems right there and it's great uh his accent that would sound great um so we go to lizzo and jack black again lizzo's playing bocce ball with a slug and grogu helps her with the force kind of reminded me of quaggan helping the the dice game in phantom menace like all right grogu this

isn't this isn't gray jedi shit but it's hints of gray jedi shit i would not hate that in the least if my boy grogu is just making god damn it i said it again am i becoming a grogu guy why can't you why can't you just be a baby yoda guy you just have to natural no i'm not trying i see it on the closed caption i read all the i see that's the you know what it is in my mind i read too many theories and announcements and they all use grogu that's probably what it is and to be fair i'm at a weakened mental state right now so if next week i stay no you just proved you might'm at a weakened mental state right now. So if next week I stay. No, you just proved you might be at a heightened mental state.

It's true. You don't even know where you're at after Disney. It's like, it's like being on the guardians ride. You get off of it and you're like, I don't know what's what what's left. Did you go on the guardians ride again? We went on the guardians ride. We got lucky enough to get on the queue. And Sienna was like basically crying before we went on.

She was so scared of it. And we're like, I was basically like, you better go on. I did volunteer to skip it because it's a family movie. We all love the Guardians, obviously. I volunteered to leave it because I already had been on it with you guys. And Sienna, at the end of the vacation, we're like, Sienna, what do you give this vacation? Expecting nothing, 10 out of 10, everything was fine. She goes, 8 out of 10. 8 out of 10 like Sienna what do you give this vacation Expecting nothing 10 out of 10

She goes 8 out of 10 8 out of 10 you motherfucker do you have much money And she goes It lost 2 points for the scary rides She went on Tron which scared her And Guardian scared her We lost 2 full fucking points Because of 2 rides that lasted I don't know

Like 3 minutes total A combined 3 minutes yeah And we had Conga as our song. And Bob, it was electric. I would have loved September. That would have been the best. Conga was number two, though. We had Burn Baby Burn when you and I went on,

which was, I think, probably number three. But oh my God, Conga, as you go through that. Did you do Tron too? I did not. I've heard that Tron, the Avatar flight of the Avatar Avatar or whatever and Snow White Mine Train If you're a big guy I have big knees You will be hurting for certain And it's going to be a tough fit if you

Don't fit at all so I Skip that all together especially as a non Tron guy it's not like if Guardians was That you're like maybe I risk it or something But like Tron who gives a fuck respectfully Yeah exactly exactly So but yeah you make a good point there with the guardians reference. So hell Gates brought before him.

They go back and forth for a little bit with how could you do this? I would have gotten away with it. All that. And then Bo and Mando are given the key to pleasure and Grogu's knighted. So that's sir. Grogu to you from now on. He's not a Jedi knight. Yeah.

He's not a Jedi knight knight but he is a knight on plazir him and paul mccartney or something uh so then they go to the mandos they take the people mover they go to the group of mandos and they're like are we gonna fucking talk this out or what and axe wolves basically gives her the we're gonna fight this out so axe wolves and bokatan have a little hand-to-hand combat scene to end the episode with actually really well choreographed action i thought it was really cool when they go up to the ship and then she shoots him with like a grappling hook and pulls him down and shit she gets the better of him she gains the upper hand makes him surrender and then they're still being pissy and they're like she doesn't even have the fucking dark saber she's gonna unite Mandalore. How can you expect us to follow her? And Mando steps up and this is a huge moment for the season. He goes, I think she does have the

dark saber. And everyone's like, what? And he's like, I was defeated by an enemy that took the dark saber from me. I had no control over it. And then she was my savior. She came in, she actually used the dark saber. She defeated this enemy. And then she just handed it back to me. So aren't you telling me if you just have to defeat someone to win the dark saber that she already did what she has to do? And Axe Wolves is like, he's right. Give her the dark saber. And she takes the dark saber.

She ignites it. Huge ending for the episode. I was happy for bokatan my hate meter is completely flipped okay the hate meters at zero it's a love meter now but there is part of me that's going okay mando tried to just give her the dark saber at the end of season two she said no because she doesn't want to go down the path of the you know how it was cursed the last time essentially because she was given the dark saber and rebels that did not go well for her is this kind of a technicality for her where she's like all right i guess i could take it at this

point she's still kind of taking it i mean listen i get that she did defeat an enemy but it's not like the enemy knew the rules of dark saber i don't know it felt a little bit like i'm happy for her i hope this isn't going to lead us down a cursed path but i'm worried it's going to lead us down a cursed path so first things first mando confirmed my mom's basement listener because we said this shit weeks ago we said isn't that technicality isn't that a technical thing where you did win it but you're not winning it it's like putting someone over in wrestling without having you pin them or submit them but you have to change the belt so vince mcmahon comes down like they just find a way to make it fucking happen dusty finish it's it's a murky yeah dusty finish yep i like

that one uh so i and then however i forget the whole thing where you're dealing with all these fanatics. I think one thing we're forgetting about Mandalorians, they're all kind of crazy because they're all different sects and they're all about different... They're about war, first of all, and they're just all about their beliefs and then you're dealing with mythology and

all this kind of stuff. It could lead to a dark... Excuse me, a cursed path. I like the way you're saying that. I thought it was going to be like that redheaded bitch. If she took that thing the right way, it would have been. So I'm kind of with you, Bob. I think that's actually a good point. I also, again, a lot of pop culture things going through my head last night.

And I was just in Disney. I had some Rufio versus Peter Pan vibes. Oh, yeah. With Axe Wolves and Bo-Katan Bo-Katan the old leader They left and he kind of took over I fucking hate Rufio I hated his guts so much And I still to this day

Don't really I don't want to say a fist pump when Hook fucking murders his ass But I don't feel too bad Because that guy tried to fucking Literally drew a line in the sand and said it's either me or pan and that guy was the real pan and if he didn't know it and that little kid was the only guy who goes there you are peter that guy is my come back to this podcast so often like a dark night somehow yeah exactly that's why when i

still remember when big cat said it was what is his his top 50? And then it became a whole thing. I'm like, Dave, you're, you're losing this battle. I don't go against Portnoy much, but he, he was fighting and losing war too. I think a good chunk of the site, the fight was okay. I thought it was like, cool. I like how they, I like how Bo always uses her jet pack. She fucking knows how to use a jet pack really well. Even during the chase scene, she was using it.

Right. Yep. I still want to see someone who knows how to use the blowtorch. Right. But we're, you know, beggars can't be choosers. Oh, to see someone who knows how to use the blowtorch right but we're you know beggars can't be choosers oh i'm pretty much lost the fight on the blowtorch too he used it and that was that was his fatal move he totally lost on that i there's gonna be one mandalorian that's gonna be like an expert at the blowtorch like a 99 they have like the flamethrower suit on somehow like a red suit yeah yeah it's like that uh gif you always see where the guy's

just fucking blow torching everything you know that's gonna be yeah i i like that i'm i'm gonna make a prediction now too next week this epic mandalorian are being promised there will be a huge blowtorch moment huge blowtorch oh i hope this is my glory guards uh take it however this is what i think axolves kind of just like Got his ass beat by Bo After kind of calling her out I think he should lose the Axewolves name You don't deserve a name as cool as Axewolves

If you fucking lose He's not badass enough for the name Axewolves So you know what I'm going to name him? What? Taserface He's now Taserface I thought Axewolves was so cool when I met him he's kind of like you know oh we're Mandalorians

we're badass he's talking to these fucking Romeo and Juliet fish over here and he's you know I'm Mr. Axel and then by the end he just gets washed by Bo-Katan I think I'm gonna fucking I'm calling him Taserface I'm done with him for now now he can make it up to me he feels like he's like Jango Fett's stunt

double to me yeah feels like he's like jango fett stunt double to me yeah yes wow great call great call taser faces apt for him as well i'm cool with calling him taser face from here on out now let me ask you this two episodes left in this season next week is the penultimate episode supposed to be the best episode ever which is going to make this season in hindsight way better do you feel like this season has suffered from Mando taking a backseat? Do you feel like it's suffered from, it doesn't feel like we're building to a conclusion as much as we did season two?

If you go back, I think when it's all said and done, we're just going to remember, all right, this happened in this season. This happened in that season in the moment. It does feel weird. It feels uneven or it feels like there's still feels like when you're at dinner and you're like wait we're almost done with the meal already i feel like we haven't even gotten the meal yet right yeah so i i think a lot of people feel that way too i i understand where they're coming from for sure i do think though i've seen enough from the book of boba fett with the mando episodes that like they could just drop two fucking

Heaters on our head which it sounds like we're getting the first Next week and we'll just be like oh yeah Who cares like agreed even In the first season There was it was everything Was completely unrelated And it was just a little bit here a little bit There and then fucking

It was the final two in the first season as well And we got Gideon in the final two in the first season as well and we got gideon in the last two baloney puts the puzzle piece here and here and then it's like oh my god it's just all there it's it's like when you're you're trying to blur your eyes to see the magic eye you do that one little thing and then it just appears i think that's what's gonna happen it's mall rats it's a schooner we're getting our schooner the schooner will be here by the end of episode eight don't you worry about it baloney's gonna get us that schooner he The schooner will be here by the end of episode eight. Don't you worry about it. Filoni's going to get us that schooner.

He's going to take us home. I'm not worried. And I, I agree a little word. I'm a little worried. Very 2%, 2% worried, but I would have been worried if not hearing already about how amazing next

week's episode is. I think like you said, if the final two episodes are movie quality, good, that's all we're going to remember. Yeah. And I I'll go to my grave and it could be Completely wrong I'll go to my grave convince That they could have used those

Two Mando episodes in this season instead Of Book of Boba Fett but that shit was so bad They just had to save it so they're like alright We have to fucking because if you throw those two Episodes into this and make it a ten Episode season I mean you're not Even thinking of that because you do get those two monsters that happen in those seasons and stuff like that.

And you're getting, you know, soak in there and all that stuff as well. So I do think that could be it. Yeah, that's definitely that. And that definitely happened. I'm convincing myself that that is exactly why it happened the way it

happened. But like, again, I'm not going to heart. I remember when he says, Colum's not going to say he's going to do. And then he says it. But, like, let's just all come to an agreement that it is absurd,

absurd that in the same season that had the general scientist Ken Jack, that deep plot and all that with the Lizzo and Jack Black episode. Like, it was, like, what, two or three episodes apart? It's crazy. It's like we got, we got Andor Light, and we got the Jack Black and Lizzo episode, Scooby-Doo. The Jack Lizzo, Christopher Lloyd, Scooby-Doo

episode in like two or three episodes, which I guess does kind of show that it has range. Yeah, totally. And I like that. I'm sure kids also fucking love this episode. Yeah, exactly. I should watch it with my kids and see what they think because it was 11 at night and I didn't even want to look.

There was not one sense in my body that wanted to be near my kids. I didn't want to see them. I didn't want to hear them. I didn't want them touching me. Nothing. Just get the fuck out of here. Nothing. No dishes.

Nothing. All right, everyone. Thank you so much. do we have a hashtag what's our hashtag meddling kids is that too is that too long no i think that could work we go meddling meddling kids hashtag meddling kids i like that i like that all right and give us your predictions for next week's supposedly amazing episode no spoilers please i know that there's probably spoilers out there because they they showed it to a whole crowd at celebration but just try to give us your predictions if you know the spoilers we'd like to go in without knowing anything and if you've made it to the end of the episode i hope you respect that and if you've made it to the end of the episode make sure you like it because we forgot to tell you that in the beginning of the episode. We are morons. Yeah.
