Starting point is 00:00:00 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 3C. I am your host, Robbie Fox, or today, The Mandalorian, and with me is my co-host, Clem, or today, Grogu, or as Clem calls him, Baby Yoda. You know, I'll respect that. Yes, yes, yes yes yes yes yes we are here to talk about the penultimate episode of the mandalorian season three today and what an episode it was i told you my guy vinnie vegas was hyping this up as possibly the greatest mandalorian episode ever i honestly think it's up there even if you want to say season two
Starting point is 00:00:44 premiere is better we got luke skywalker saving grogu that heartfelt moment at the end this penultimate episode blew my socks off blew this fox's socks off vinny vegas definitely gets a w w in vegas for uh the kid there and i guess he's like our new star wars insider for now He definitely came up big in a big spot. And yeah, I watched this at 3 a.m. last night. I woke up with an upset stomach and I said, well, what better way to like make the time go by than watching Mandalorian? So I have to admit, that was a lot to take in at three in the fucking morning. So God bless anyone else that did it. I feel like I'm like in the cobwebs right now. So we're going to try to get through this.
Starting point is 00:01:25 All right. But, uh, me and Bob are, are both battling some stuff here, but I mean, I think this, I was going to say in solidarity with you,
Starting point is 00:01:32 I got a stomach bug as well, or something. We are, uh, like I always say, ET and Elliot, where one gets sick, the other gets sick.
Starting point is 00:01:39 One gets one drinks beer, the other gets drunk and we're both just going through it. I think after last week's episode that kind of divided the fan base we got the fan base back together and i think for the last fucking time we could just say it once and for all hashtag trust the feloni the guy's gonna get there he may fucking have a make-a-wish episode with celebrities and a bunch of weird shit that doesn't make sense with the scooby-doo ending but then we're gonna get this i don't know how that episode this episode the and or episode we had earlier in the season all are from the same fucking show but that's just how it is now i don't even know if din jarin is the mandalorian anymore i think it's just the mandalorian is like uh like
Starting point is 00:02:20 saying buffalo it's like a plural basically Yeah, it kind of is at this point because it's Bo, it could be Grogu, although Grogu's a droid this week, which is an amazing addition. But if you didn't like this episode, honestly, you got a big old dump in your pants. Last week, I could see, all right, it was divisive.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I could see you not liking some scenes. This was good old-fashioned Star Wars fun, great action scenes, great twists, great acting. Shout out Giancarlo Esposito, his return here. Tremendous. It was absolutely everything I wanted it to be in a penultimate episode. And it sets the stage for next week to be an all-time finale.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And like we said last week, you said this. If they nail the final two, and especially if the finale's like this, 50 minutes, a long one, that's all we're going to remember from season three. Sure, some of it has been a little disjointed. I've seen some people say that it felt more like an animated series the way that they paste it, and I agree with that. I think the thing that could have helped it the most was more episodes. If you gave us 10, 12 episodes in the season, I think people would be a lot less critical about the one-offs
Starting point is 00:03:20 like the Pershing episode or stuff like that. Now, it could fall into your theory that there we were supposed to get 10 episodes in this season but they had to throw two in book of boba fett so i don't know the basement boys uh keep hitting these theories uh i'm deciding that is no longer a theory it is just the truth until uh feloni and favreau come to me and tell me it's not true that is the truth so says baby yoda club oh you're taking it off bob's taking i had to take it off listen i'm no longer in the mandalorian creed but god damn the mandalorian hoodie is hot yeah for those like 70 degrees outside yeah that's true for those who are not
Starting point is 00:03:57 watching on youtube uh we both dressed up bob has mandalorian hood on i'm in my kids baby yoda like it's like those oversized hoodie things and i'm hot the only thing is this is for a kid yet it somehow fits on me because it's oversized it fits basically up to my belly button this will be fat guy in a little coat if i try to take it off unless it's extremely gentle and these kids love these things by the way costco i think this is maybe 17.99 best 18 i've ever spent in my fucking life. They love these things. They look adorable.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Shout out Costco. We love the Costco people here in my mom's basement. Let's get into the episode, though, because there's a lot to talk about here.

Starting point is 00:06:22 that hoth ass spy droid greets her scans her face she gives her tk code and then a moff gideon hologram is displayed he's like listen i'm busy make it quick what do you got and she's like i have information that the mandalorians are bounding together bokatan din jarin uh they shut down the pirates on navarro and i think they're retaking mandalore he's like you can't you I think they're retaking Mandalore. And he's like, you can't. You got to be kidding me. These two clans together? No. He's like, that's Yankees and Red Sox.
Starting point is 00:06:48 They ain't together. He's like, all right, listen, go be on your way. I'm going to go talk to some people. And he walks through an all-time cool-looking Star Wars hallway. We get a lot of cool hallways in Star Wars, right? But this one had aspects of the Phantom Menace Red red gates that uh quaguan and darth maul have to kind of go through and he has some stormtroopers in there that are like his own custom stormtroopers a new stormtrooper design just dropped and obviously the same thing i'm
Starting point is 00:07:15 like wait are these new i feel like i haven't seen these and again with mandalorian your brain is so shot because like you said 2020 is the last time we podcasted this other than the couple that were in book of boba fett and i'm just so goddamn thrown off i don't know what was going on but yeah if if you're not hearing duel of the fates playing in your head as those laser doors were opening up and by the way elia i thought i mean i thought she was maybe like maybe not a number two or like a right-hand man but pretty high in fucking, like they're going to meetings together. They are on a lot of email chains, I would think. And it's like anything he, you know, Moff Gideon's on, she has like 80% knowledge of
Starting point is 00:07:53 what's going on. He was kind of just talking down to her. He was a little sassy with it. And I don't know, maybe she's just trying to build her way back up, but I felt like this was all her plan was being this spy. And I don't know what the fuck to make out of all that. And the other thing. These fucking.
Starting point is 00:08:08 What are they? The probe droids? What do they call them? Yeah. I guess the probe spy droids. Yeah. Yeah. In fucking Empire.
Starting point is 00:08:16 They look so much smaller. And I guess also in like the video games. It looks more. That thing was fucking enormous. It was. It was huge. It was probably like five feet tall. Floating in the air. Maybe bigger. I don't know. And it was wide too. It was gir like five feet tall floating in the air maybe bigger
Starting point is 00:08:25 i don't know and it was wide too it was girthy girthy little spy droid i was a girthy little spy droid right there that i think we have our uh hashtag girthy little spy oh yeah people are gonna think that means something else in star wars terms um but he goes and meets with the Shadow Council, which was introduced in what I believe was the Aftermath trilogy. It was a book trilogy that takes place after the original trilogy kind of bridges the gap to the Force
Starting point is 00:08:53 Awakens. And the Shadow Council is put together as like a, hey, if the Emperor dies, we need a contingency plan. And we'll get all the best minds together. I think it was like shut down at one point but then i guess it's brought back by this point and they're all talking about grand admiral thron's return i couldn't believe they were throwing the t-word around all willy-nilly
Starting point is 00:09:13 you know this is usually things that you see before you hear kind of a thing with a character like thron but i guess they're like well at this point the ahsoka trailer will have come out they'll know he's coming back and i mean the big bad boy is coming back that I still, I don't know, but I have learned to fear. Just like I know Chopper I'm going to love, I know I'm going to fear Thrawn. So I'm looking very forward to that. And also, like, even if this council was full of just a bunch of bumbling fools, Shadow Council is such a sweet name, it gives you, like, instant street cred.
Starting point is 00:09:42 You're like, oh, I'm in the Shadow Council. Like, oh, shit. I think of, I was thinking of The wire when the new the new day co-op and i was like that's almost like a different thing where they're kind of trying to be like underground with it shadow council fucking like imperial i almost am rooting for the fucking uh first order now because it was such a sweet name that they came up with here Just kidding There is zero part of me that like I didn't like anything in the sequel trilogy Basically and sure shit wasn't the bad guys in it But
Starting point is 00:10:13 We got Hux in here Yeah we got Hux's dad who is played by Dom Hall Gleeson's brother Which I thought was a cool little like They kept it in the family there for real I was wondering how he was so weaselly looking without being in the actual Hux. And I'm like, how did they get,
Starting point is 00:10:29 they put an actual weasel in a fucking Imperial suit? Nope. So that makes a lot more sense now. Do we know any of these other guys? They're just kind of like, you might know them a little bit, but they're really not. I think maybe from the books or something like that.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah, but nothing from the animated shows or the movies as far as I know from the other guys. And you said Yeah. But nothing from the animated shows or the movies, as far as I know from the other guys. And you said you've learned to already fear Thrawn. It doesn't seem like Moff Gideon fears Thrawn very much. He's like, you guys keep talking about his return. Where the fuck is this guy?
Starting point is 00:10:55 He's never shown up to these meetings. It's like, Whoa, Thrawn is just the guy that, that no shows. And you're just always in the meetings with him. He's not dialing in. He's not even sending someone to take notes.
Starting point is 00:11:06 And I caught, it's kind of a boss move. I, this guy thrown, we're going to find out he was like watching over someone's shoulder the entire time. And again, this is just me being scared as fuck of him, of him, but Moff Gideon, I'm trying to figure out, and we'll get into, you know, obviously all the stuff he has done in his past and what he does in this episode. But I don't know if he's a big smish, a big fish, a small fish, a medium fish, maybe thrown as the bigger fish that always ends up eating him. But yeah, he was, his tongue got a
Starting point is 00:11:33 little loose there. It's like, listen, buddy, you don't fucking, this isn't a, you're not a, what's his name? Gus Fring right now. You don't have this shit on lock. You are part of a fucking council. I'll be a sweet ass council with a cool ass name but you're not the fucking head honcho here and like you said slit in throats and just has everything on fucking you know auto run you have the best cooker of meth we got to do a breaking bad rewind i have to just do it myself because every time we get into this i just get really excited about breaking bad i apologize oh also you don't have to i love the long live the empire i like how they just are throwing that one out there that's like their little credo the
Starting point is 00:12:09 shadow shadow council credo they're working in the shadows literally hitting long live the empire gideon accuses hux of being obsessed with cloning which i was like oh he's like you're the one obsessed with cloning not me i was like oh we're getting cloning thrown around a little pershing talk here and he requests three praetorian guards and i thought this scene was cool because not only does it connect to the sequel trilogy a little bit and have that connective tissue but when he requests the three praetorian guards they laugh in his face for a second they're like three are you worried you're gonna get assassinated or what and it's like well you look at Snoke and he had what 12 he had I don't know six eight he had a ton so it's like oh shit for Rey and Kylo Ren to beat all of them pretty impressive they're
Starting point is 00:12:53 fixing the sequel trilogy slowly but surely even the fucking operation necrophiliac and I know it's not called that but I'm gonna call it that because I don't know what it is necromancer it's not called that, but I'm going to call it that because I don't know what it is. Necromancer. Necromancer. It's like there's definitely some shit going on here that's going to connect to how fucking Paps came out of the fucking shadows in episode nine out of the blue. Yeah. So then we cut to Navarro. We see an Imperial ship come overhead and the Mando symbol is painted on the bottom. At first, a droid runs up to Greef Kargan. He's like, Imperials, Imperials. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:23 He's like, no, it's not Imperial. Look at the bottom. And they painted fucking mandalorian crest onto the bottom so badass so cool and the mando clans meet there very tense meeting because they're like bocatan's like i know that these two clans aren't really gonna get along let's hope that they do and karga goes down there he gives mando some liquor and he's like i got another present for you come up later first of all the ship was so fucking awesome i wish that they even like tinted the windows it was like they fucking like ramped up uh like honda accord or something like that they made it really theirs you know they put a it's almost like putting a one of those like stickers on your back windshield or something
Starting point is 00:13:58 like that but that's how you know it's like oh these you don't fuck with that ship that's the mandalorian ship you do not fuck with them uh and the people that planet are probably like thank god we don't have to deal with anything else yeah and you can kind of feel the tension and it's like if you have i've never had this in this sense but whenever i have two groups of friends my high school friends and my college friends or even friends meeting family i know everyone's gonna get along but if you have like a set of high school friends that are one specific way and another set of like college friends who are another specific way fuck man that cannot be a fun that cannot be fun thing and i imagine there are some people i guess families would be a better example say you have one set of family that has one political view
Starting point is 00:14:37 another set with another political view maybe with a little religion mixed in and it's like oh boy we're gonna have fireworks yeah welcome to thanksgiving and it's like oh god we're here now by the way speaking of thanksgiving what were they cooking for the mandalorians because they certainly look like baby dragons to me oh do you think hey listen if they were cooking the baby dragons tip of the cap for actually fucking doing something the right thing with those things unless you're literally leveling them up right now for the finale because there's those are the only two acceptable reasons it reminded me of at star wars galaxy's edge in disney when we went how they have that like little thing of meat and they use a hyperdrive engine to cook it which i thought was such a cool little like nod to like the intricacies of the galaxy out there so i know what is it ronto's raps or something like that
Starting point is 00:15:25 or the good shit i like to think they were making some ronto's raps i like that as well so they have a tense meeting but it all winds up being okay pretty much and then we go up to the office of grief cargo where he has a gift for the mandalorian and this gift oh my god it was 10 out of 10 or should i say 11 out of 11 or 12 out of 12 because ig11 has been turned into ig12 by this guy right here hey hey it's babu frick on the podcast if if you're not watching on youtube um and yeah he's a mech suit now so babu frick comes in driving him he's right in the middle of him and then he's like hey i made this for you know grogu mandalorian's like dude he's way too tiny he can't operate machinery what are you talking about he's literally a baby we call him baby yoda and he's like no no he could do it let's see if he fits so he puts him in and immediately he hits a yes button we hear the
Starting point is 00:16:18 voice of taika waititi yes yes and then mando's like all right cute take him out and then he hits a no so we know he now has yes and no capabilities in this mech suit starts walking around a little bit shaky at first but starts to get the hang of it and then oh my god he cracked me up with that yes button walking through town yes yes yes yes yes like he was daniel bryan yeah i was gonna say we need to get a daniel bryan like rebooted gif where it's just Baby Yo saying yes, yes, yes, over and over. I loved it too. And he's just playing games.
Starting point is 00:16:50 And this is when we find out that Baby Yo being, like, 50 or whatever. Is he 50 or whatever? Yeah. Like, there is a little bit of we're leveling up from baby Groot to, like, the next level of Groot right here. He doesn't have the voice to kind of say, I want to do what I want to do. We saw him cheating in the game last week
Starting point is 00:17:09 with the force with Lizzo, right? And now he's just being a fucking, he's in his terrible twos. And let me tell you, that brought back some memories of AJ and Sienna just doing whatever they want. They're running through town telling you yes or no, yes or no.
Starting point is 00:17:22 They're picking up stuff they shouldn't be picking up. That poor guy is getting fucking like doused with his own fucking food and shit like that also i like how he reminds me of krang from ninja turtles do you remember that guy yeah yeah the guy and he's the brain in the middle yeah so that's what i thought of at first now they renamed him ig12 right because ig11 is the. It's a nice thing to do. Also, they're renaming it because you kind of don't, like, think about it, but Baby-O is basically sitting in a droid's carcass. A fucking guy that sacrificed himself for Baby-O.
Starting point is 00:17:55 And Baby-O is just moving his dead body around. That's low-key kind of weird. And I love it. It's, like, a little twisted and a little dark. A little dark comedy of it all. And I love it it's like a little Twisted and a little dark Little dark comedy of it all and I appreciate It especially because IG-11 was such Like a cold robotic droid When it all came down to it until that last
Starting point is 00:18:12 Episode when he got reprogrammed and did the right thing By the way speaking of Baby Yo How do we feel about Baby Yo Sitting on Bo's lap when they were flying Into the planet He's kind of looking at her like his mom At this point that's like the adopted like He's got a single dad who started dating a woman
Starting point is 00:18:28 And he's getting attached I'm worried like If they break up what is Grogu gonna think Yeah now I'm like does this mean That Gin and Bo have to basically Get together for the kid like forget about Staying together for the kid they gotta get together For the kid like maybe that's how he gets to the Dark side they break up and then fucking baby
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yo starts getting anakinized hey man i'm just calling it like i see it i'm just calling it like i see it right now he is very happy and he's such a goddamn kid and i'm telling you robbie every single parent who watched that scene had fucking flashbacks of going out in town be like these motherfucking kids they're so cute and they're so goddamn annoying. Just grabbing things, not knowing you got to pay for it. And like you said, now, yeah, the cutest baby in the galaxy is sitting in a cold, dead carcass. Yeah, exactly. And by the way, speaking of spending money, Pappy, I went to Disney when I did. Because if I went next year, I guarantee I'd be forced to buy it.
Starting point is 00:19:20 It's $79.99, IG12 with a little baby yo inside and has the yes and no buttons. And I'd be like, I'd be looking at my dumb ass. I'm dressed like Baby Yoda right now. I'd be like, okay, you guys can get it. We already have four other Baby Yoda toys upstairs. What's another one that, it's cute as fucking hell. It's cute as goddamn hell. And again, Taika being a part of it just makes it all come together.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Feels right. I know, and like we talked about the voice being so important for grogu it's not his voice but having taika be his kind of sub voice for now is great that voice will always make me crack up the cord i think of you know right away um speaking of great things let's tell the people about game time a great exclusive ticketing partner of barstool sports created by fans for fans game time is the ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last minute deals on tickets to sports concerts shows and more i went to a show last night i went saw moulin rouge on broadway shout

That's such an amazing deal. I won't even take offense to the fact you didn't mention the Mets or my beloved Knicks, who are about to start in the playoffs. You can get your Knicks tickets, playoff tickets as well.
Starting point is 00:21:22 It's been a long time. I know we were in a couple years ago, but this time feels like there's a chance we can make some noise in the playoffs for the first time really the next next yeah they're the 5c baby they're fucking legit they are they are dare i say good the new york knicks are good knicks rangers summer coming up and maybe for the next few years this could be a get your game time codes ready baby hot dolan summer there's a shirt we should make and then burn it yeah make it real hot um so we go to the mandos they're all eating dinner it's at night and i like that already we can see they have like a camp on navarro and i feel like this camp is going to grow just like navarro has grown and in a couple
Starting point is 00:22:04 seasons we're going to see like a little Mandalorian city, a little mini covert that is all connective and everything like that. As long as they don't get taken out. That's the other thing with the Mandalorian. It's just any second. I'm like, they might all go. It's extinct.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Um, but Bo gives a big speech to everyone. She's basically like, I want some volunteers to go to Mandalore with me. Uh, Mando steps up first with Grogu. He volunteers. Grogu. He's like me andando steps up first with Grogu. He volunteers. Grogu.
Starting point is 00:22:26 He's like me and Grogu will come. Grogu is like, all right, I was chilling here, but I guess I'll stand up. No. Then Casca Reeves stands up. That's Sasha Banks. She says, I'll go axe wolves, which I was calling him axe wolves last week. Apparently just wolves. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:43 His name is that. I mean, this guy, he doesn't deserve the wolves remember i was going to call him taser face for now on yeah i thought it was ax wolves i have the uh captions on i what the fuck you know what are fine good he doesn't deserve the wolves ax wolves it is they go next and then paz vizsla it seems like everyone's pretty much like all right we'll go to mandalore with you like everyone gets inspired by bow speech and it's the first step towards bow being that person like the armor said she could be to unite these people yeah this is the way i also i give extra credit for the first few people that said it you know everyone else kind of joined in it's like you start the ovation and once it started
Starting point is 00:23:19 it's like now you're kind of just joining in i consider the people that joined in first they were the people that when uh you're playing dodgeball, you just like line up on the baseline. Those are the people that would run for the balls. I never ran for the balls. I was like, I'm not fast enough. And I'm better at catching than I am at throwing as there is like someone like right next to me.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Cause we're both going for the same balls. So shout out Mando for being literally the first one. And they're probably like, that's your girlfriend. That's your fucking kids adopted mother. We saw, we saw a little baby a little baby yo flying on her lap on the way in you really don't have a choice you know mando i would love to see mando have a decision between bow and the girl that we're like hoping comes back from season one oh yeah yeah that would be great if he goes back there he's like i gotta stop there make a visit or something and bow was with him and there you see the dynamic of that love triangle oh that would be and and uh grogu just hitting yeses and no's in the background
Starting point is 00:24:09 i don't think i'm ever going to get tired of this grogu yes and no bit yeah i i could live remember we're saying oh has he has to be coming soon where he's talking this could last me probably at least another two seasons and i'm not going to get tired of it we'll add a couple buttons right you give him a maybe you give him a we'll see about it i want a frog like he's hungry hungry hungry it's all yeah uh so they arrive on mandalore through a storm really cool scene where they drop out and they're it's almost like they're telling old war stories they're like oh i was here for it you know i i last i haven't seen it since then-Katan loyalists appear on what looks like a pirate ship. We're getting a lot of pirate vibes this whole season.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And they have like a skitter. Really cool, unique look for Star Wars. One of them is Skinny Pete. Skinny Pete the Mandalorian. Oh, shit. Oh, boy. Now I'm going to go back into my breaking bed. When they have the little Roomba and you're on the Roomba and you
Starting point is 00:25:05 get the perspective from there. Oh boy. I can't even get into the breaking bed. I didn't even notice that was my guy. Skinny Pete. Where's Badger? He had longer hair. He had long hair. Oh, it would have been great if they had both of them in there. They would be a great, like a bumbling storm trooper combo as well. We had Jason Sudeikis and that idiot as the storm troopers last season. I'd like to see them as uh ridiculous stormtroopers the gunship reminded me of bowser ships in the mario games that you fly up on that was my thing again i'm in big time mario world the kids are obsessed with what we're seeing the movie this weekend i'm very excited for it so that was my first i had vibes i'm like all right we're going back
Starting point is 00:25:38 to the bowser ship now and it was cool to see like all right bokatan did lead these people at one point she still has followers. They were out there. They're on Mandalore. And they're like, we knew you would come back for us, Bo-Katan. Is that your voice? At first, I was worried that this was going to be Moff Gideon. When you just hear like a voice yelling like, is that Bo-Katan?
Starting point is 00:25:56 Giancarlo Esposito. It doesn't sound like him. Maybe he's trying to change his voice. But they were cool. The whole episode, they seemingly were cool. But also also we got to talk about this the episode is called the spies clem spies plural we saw ellia kane in the beginning she's a spy for sure for moff gideon we didn't really see an explicit spy other than her
Starting point is 00:26:19 though so there's got to be a spy in the Mandalorian cover right now, right? That's who led him to the ambush or at least told Moff Gideon and his crew where they were going to be. I hate to say this. Our girl, the armor is looking real, real, real sus. Is she skyrocketing to the top of your sus list? She is the sus list right now, Robbie. I don't know enough people's names to even have them on the sus list. She's just number one with a goddamn bullet. So yeah, the armorer.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Everything was going a little too smoothly with the armorer. She was so accepting of everything and everything was going good. Fucking sledgehammer shit. She was triple agent people. I feel like, again, she's fucking a double agent for both sides here. I don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I don't know what the end game is of it, but I feel like they could wrap it up pretty quickly. It's crazy how fast you go from, oh man, we have a lot of loose ends to everything just getting done. You know, that's how I remember the season one finale. We're like, holy shit, that was all taken care of. So I, I would not leave her alone. I would not leave baby yo alone with her.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I wouldn't leave myself alone with her. I basically take away her armor-making privileges. Throw her fucking hands in the old thing that Tyrion was put in in Infinity War. Oh, yeah. What do you think about that, Bob? The forged hands? Yeah, I like that idea. I mean, if she winds up being the spy, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:41 I don't want to Sparky her yet where we have her hands of stone and then we wind up figuring out she's just like a good person all along but i have seen arguments already today where people are like hey she really did make it out of every situation alive even when the mandalorian covert was wiped out in season one on navarro she made it out of there alive is her end goal to make the mandalorians think they have to be in these like religious crazy strict ways and that could further divide them to make sure that they can never take mandalore back or does she legitimately want to take mandalore back but just for her own crazy mandalorian like religious reason like maybe the religious aspects are really who she is but maybe it has ulterior motives to it or maybe that's just
Starting point is 00:28:26 a front and she is moff gideon's fucking spy she also has the spikes on her helmet the only one with the spikes on the helmet except moff gideon this week oh shit i didn't even think of that i don't like that she gave our sweet baby yo his armor too maybe she put a little like hole in it like it's it's all gonna just fall apart it's well that's the other thing we saw how many Beskar stormtrooper outfits this week Who else knows how to forge that's True Yeah Bob I'm
Starting point is 00:28:53 Sparking her she's bitches Toss her ass overboard take her jetpack Does she even have a jetpack if she does take it Off throw her off the fucking ship Because everything just went down way too fucking I don't like the way this was Take her fur scarf it's too cool if she's gonna be bad i don't want that she'll probably put on like a white mink one and when she turns bad like she's like cruella deville yeah that's a good point i will say this too like if i tried to get the people against her
Starting point is 00:29:20 her voice inflection is one of those things that just makes me feel dumb and makes her seem smart she's like it is me i am innocent it is him who is the guilty one and then my ass would get thrown off of this ship she's just something about her she carries herself with such an air right so yeah she would not be an easy person to take down which is why she's number one on the goddamn get this bitch off my goddamn ship get off my plane she uh bocatan reveals to everyone that she actually did surrender they're like we followed you into the pits of hell because you never surrendered that's what we love about you and she's like i hate to tell you this i did surrender guys this is the story that we finally get on how moff gideon obtained the dark saber and it wasn't through battle it
Starting point is 00:30:02 wasn't combat where they fought and he defeated her and she surrendered like that he was basically like hey we're about to destroy mandalore we're about to bomb everything unless you disarm surrender give me the dark saber and she was like i didn't really trust him but i had to do it it was the only chance i had and she winds up making the deal and he just backstabs her with that dark saber not literally but kind of and he goes and bombs mandalore anyway the purge happens and mandalore and uh the mandalorian himself goes up to bokatan afterwards and he's like just so you know i don't care about blood i don't give a fuck about that dark saber and none of my friends give a fuck about the dark saber ever either we care about honor we care about loyalty and we
Starting point is 00:30:44 care about character your song is not yet written which i loved that line it was like fuck you amanda and he's like i will follow you until it's over that's what i care about you're our girl we're with you and i was like yes we're all together now poke it down she's completely off the substance for me i mean the bob versus bow meter is As always I've had it on the bottom of my Note sheet every week Let's just check on it now Where are you right now Bob? It's a negative three
Starting point is 00:31:13 We're in the opposite direction I'm just going to pull up that rant that you had I'll download the TikTok and just repost it on tour And be like look at this fucking guy We're all ride or die for Bo and Robby's over here Just shitting all over the poor lady. I mean, I still am upset she didn't stop by the basement when she was at the barstool office. But other than
Starting point is 00:31:30 that, it was also like you said, Mando, ride or die for her, I like to see. And it was also funny how when Baby Yoda was breaking up that fight that was over like chess or whatever, where it's like those guys just clearly have like a difference of opinion and there was going to be a fight no matter what. And he no and i was like and he's like he didn't
Starting point is 00:31:48 learn that from me and i feel like that's a jedi move right is that what we're thinking was the whole reason behind it so absolutely and grogu even gives a nod after that i loved that when they cut to me gives a nod like that's right i fucking stepped in there and stopped it i loved that scene too because you get the bocatan loyalist they say we can bring you to the great forge so they start getting along the skitter and then it's paz visla and axe and they're playing that chess and they literally get into a real fight just because of a rules disagreement the two biggest hardos in the covert by the way these two fucking idiots i was trying to compare i was like which two barstool people would be like the fight and i was like smitty versus
Starting point is 00:32:23 smitty and white socks dave oh okay like i i don't even think what i don't think smitty is a real hard i think he plays that character sometimes yeah but when you get them together when you get them together on competition yes yeah exactly so that is the white socks dave versus smitty fight good call that was a great call robbie i couldn't put my fucking finger on like all right one of you guys is smitty i just gotta figure out which one the other guy is. Yeah. So Grogu, like you said, steps in.
Starting point is 00:32:49 He knows him to death. No, no, no, no, no. And the armorer gives the ship a heads up that, hey, we're bringing in some survivors. She gets the fuck out of there. Again, sus. What is going on there? And as soon as she did that, I was like, oh, some shit's about to go down. Like, you know, they don't show us the armor getting out of there if people aren't about to die because
Starting point is 00:33:09 they want us to know she's about to survive this so then this gigantic monster comes up it's got all shards in its back tail whips the ship they all yell abandon ship abandon ship jet pack off of it i loved two of them like linked arms with ig12 and grogu yeah that was him off the ship flew him to safety i loved the entire star warsness weirdness darkness of the episode like you said like not only the reanimated carcass of ig12 ig11 but a lot of this episode was the darker side of star wars the empire side of star wars and that hasn't been embraced as much in this season got a little bit of it with like the mind flaying in uh pershing and whatnot the other thing moff gideon says when he's like pershing's uh research has all been lost he was lost to the new republic
Starting point is 00:33:55 it's like oh he mind flayed that because he's trying to do his own shit isn't he and he's like i don't want anyone else to know what we were doing with that cloning research he's also got tanks of people being cloned that he walked through there's all snokes i don't want anyone else to know what we were doing with that cloning research. He's also got tanks of people being cloned that he walked through. Are those all Snokes? I don't know. Yeah, that's right. That had to be Snokes. If it's not Snokes, it's Pappy's.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Can't say his name, obviously, because I'm a horn. So, and again, I don't know. Honestly, I thought that was a Mythosaur that went up. And I've been told it was not a Mythosaur that came out of the sand. At first, I thought it was the mythosaur as well but i think the big telltale sign is the two big horns that you see on like the logo so i didn't see those so i i don't think it was the mythosaur i'd be the one anytime there's like a creature it's like aj every time he sees a bug he thinks it's a bee he's like a bee a bee that's me i'm like mythosaur it's a fucking mythosaur they're
Starting point is 00:34:43 like dude it's a fucking wampum what are you talking about can somebody can somebody please make the the clem uh butterfly meme is this a mythosaur i need that i need that tweet that out it's this week with the hashtag uh girthy little droid or whatever the fuck i said before so then moff gideon's jetpack troopers arrive because when they get attacked by this big monster they head down into the great forge and they have a little dialogue back and forth about we all used to live here this was the center of our society basically the fires have burnt out at this point and then they get attacked by all of these stormtroopers that are a mix between
Starting point is 00:35:19 stormtroopers and mandalorians because they have jetpacks and beskar armor but it seems like other than that they're pretty much just stormtroopers huge action scene awesome awesome choreography and coordination in this scenes where mando just punches someone in the fucking chest a bunch of clothes lines we're getting wrestling moves kicks off cliffs and stuff i really have enjoyed all the hand-to-hand combat this season i don't know if it's the same guy that did it last season, but I think last season they brought in the person who does it from Marvel. So if it's that guy, he's like John Williams of stunt choreography at this point because he does all the biggest franchises. And I feel like they've been crushing it this season.
Starting point is 00:35:58 And by the way, speaking of Marvel, the armor is Mephisto. Until proven otherwise, I'm saying the armor is Mephisto until proven. Otherwise I'm saying the armor is Mephisto. These storm troopers. I actually felt more scared of because of the armor than I did. The death troopers last season or whenever that was, because they, I thought they were bad-ass and those fuckers just got washed over. Remember they had like the. The fucking like electronic music.
Starting point is 00:36:22 That was so sweet. These guys had a little more oomph to them they weren't complete fucking bozos even though they got they got their asses kicked pretty well too it's still storm no matter what kind of army put on them you're still putting the bozos inside of them they're still gonna kind of stick they're not gonna be able to hit their targets which is tough you know it's like eventually they're just gonna get caught and it looked like they were trying to show that the mandalorians were shooting them like in the neck and stuff where their armor wasn't covering. And I was like, oh, my God, this is a little brutal.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But I loved it. I really did. And then they keep going through and it leads them to an empire facility. And you see the door right away. Look at the lights. And you're like, oh, electricity down here. Something that we pretty much predicted last week. What if the Mandalorians are being hidden away from their planet because the Empire is rebuilding there? And I don't know if this is the entire Empire rebuilding.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I don't think it is because the way they talked about when Thrawn returns, we'll have the full fleet back in the army, the military. But we have TIE bombers, TIE fighters, and it was all an ambush. So Moff Gideon comes out. It's a trap. It's literally a trap moff gideon comes out in this amazing dark trooper suit but it's kind of a dark mandalorian trooper suit because he has a mandalorian helmet like i said with the spikes he gives this awesome monologue where he's trapped the mandalorian and the mandalorian for a second gives a good effort with the fire with the flamethrower yes Yes. I will say that it did have a moment.
Starting point is 00:37:49 He's using that a little, little better, but they restrain him. And then Gideon does classic star Wars, villain shit where he's monologuing the whole time monologuing, like a guy who didn't just lose to the Mandalorian last season as well. Like he was so cocky. So he,
Starting point is 00:38:03 I was expecting him to spit on the mandalorian's helmet like uh bret hart and vince mcmahon after the montreal screw job but he says an awesome line where he's like the biggest improvement i've made to the dark trooper suit is i'm the one inside of it it's like oh fuck now we're gonna have to deal with this now and the way the entire thing is presented awesome he tells bocatan to surrender again she refuses uses the saber to cut a whole little hole outside of it and then to end the episode paz vizsla this guy who we called a hard-o you know five minutes ago goes out there and he sacrifices himself he makes the decision to close the door he says this is the way and he just
Starting point is 00:38:42 shoots off his turret until it overheats like a gun has never overheated before the visual of that was really cool done getting orange on the barrel and stuff and he takes all of the troopers out even after the gun has no more ammo or it's overheated he clotheslines a couple kicks him off the ledge i almost expected him to like dump off the ledge with one of them but now the three praetorian guards come in and they fuck his shit up very quickly they make easy work of them with their cool purple electronic weapons paz vizsla also has a cool weapon kind of that dune style like phasing in and out knife um but kind of a sad ending to the episode we lost this guy paz vizsla he's gone
Starting point is 00:39:24 and he sacrificed himself for for our guy in the end the mandalorian because he was with the crew so all is forgiven on the book of boba fett trying to steal the darksaber stuff i gotta say r.p. my dog paz vizsla i didn't think i was gonna really like him other than how badass his gun was because i don't know he just kind of bothered me with the hardo stuff that was tough i i thought he was just gonna like win and we were just gonna go to the credits be like all right paz is still there needs everyone else to come back he's the mandalorian he's the mandalorian exactly that was a fucking performance and it did make those guards seem even again i saw those guards do that before
Starting point is 00:40:00 uh which one do they fight is it rise of skywalker where ray and last jedi it's last jedi okay so if i saw that it kind of makes it a little more because all those fuckers did in like return of the jedi is just kind of just sit there and they're just why it's the same guys that are without the the emperor right or i think it's i think it's technically different but how could you not look at it as an evolution of the like imperial Royal guards they're red And they have the shiny outfit I have always looked At them as like oh that's the new version of them It's a goddamn shame too that
Starting point is 00:40:31 Paz's gun melted down because it's like that should Go to someone else man you just like you Said when you have the turret gun in a video game you just Lighten fools up that guy is It just sucks we're not going to have him anywhere so yeah I was pretty bummed about that I also I Don't know what I would respect. No, I know what I would respect more.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I would love if Bo-Katan was telling the story about how she said, I'll give you the Darksaber as long as you let my people go. And then Moff Gideon said, okay. And then he obviously betrays her and he goes, I had my fingers crossed. If he had said, I had my fingers crossed, it would stunned I had my fingers crossed Because that carries That carries this planet and it carries in a galaxy Far far away fingers crossed always Fucking carries and plays so that would
Starting point is 00:41:12 Have been a great thing Also So let me just say this you said it perfectly Before Moff Gideon is Acting like he's the fucking head honcho Badass motherfucker final boss Guy lost like clean to the Mandalorian. Had the advantage, had Baby Yo as a hostage
Starting point is 00:41:29 with his little handcuffs on, had the dark saber. Mando just had his little bow or whatever. And he cleanly pinned him in the middle of the ring, one, two, three. There was no count out. There was no, like, steel chair by someone interfering. It was clean as clean could be. And this guy is just carrying himself like he's the fucking goat.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I will say, though, anyone that straight up steals the armor and the look, appropriates the culture of the culture they tried to wipe off the map, I got to kind of give him credit for that. He is not a great villain in terms of like, like domination and strength. He is in terms of just being a motherfucker, though. His motherfucker rating is 100. No doubt about it. So I'll give him that much.
Starting point is 00:42:12 That's a great way to put it. He's got a 100 percent motherfucker rating. And I'm with you. I would have loved to hear Giancarlo Esposito in that like proper voice be like, my fingers were crossed. They were crossed the whole time. You know, that voice is tremendous but it sets up for an amazing finale the mandalorians are on the run but we're still on
Starting point is 00:42:31 the the planet except for the armor she's going up to the fleet so it's like all right what's gonna happen there babu frick still in the mix this guy being in the mix the penultimate episode i truly thought we were just gonna get him in the premiere and i was fine with that i was like what a perfect spot for him having him walk past baby yoda again and hit a bad baby no squeeze like he sees him and it's like you know he's like a dog he gets afraid of him almost um but this was perfect episode of mandalorian in my opinion i mean if they were all like this This season it would be We would be on a different planet Ourselves because we would just We would have lifted off from earth and been that happy
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah I don't even know if they can even Do that right I just think because there's so many There you only have so many big moments Like that again And the fact I said it last Week during that weird episode it's like I guess the Fact it can kind of shape shift to these very Different episodes is I guess kind of a I don't know if it's a strength or just something that is pretty, pretty incredible.
Starting point is 00:43:30 But I think this is going to be everyone's favorite episode until next week, probably right for this season. I think it's got to be. And I know some people like the one off like adventures clone war style. I do, too. I really do. There are certain episodes of The Mandalorian. I would point to Rick Famiwuda's first episode with Bill Burr, the prisoner scene where they break them all out. That's a perfect side mission where it didn't really connect to the main story at all, but I didn't care. There can be those episodes. I just look at this and I'm like, this felt like a Star
Starting point is 00:44:01 Wars movie. Like Vinny Vegas said, he said it felt theatrical. Like the beginning, especially with the Coruscant meeting, him talking to the Shadow Council. I was like, God damn, this is A-plus Star Wars. This doesn't feel like that low-budget shit that we got in the Jack Black Lizzo scene. Didn't feel any SNL vibes this week, which is all you could ask for, right? Yeah, we got, it's kind of like you said, in a movie where different generals are meeting or whatever it was that kind of level and it's different than andor but it's the same kind
Starting point is 00:44:30 of heaviness to it where you're like oh shit these are the guys who are making moves right here right like when we saw um who was our boy with the robe with the robe the guy uh i haven't seen the sunset or the uh the guy the guy who's running the whole fucking the guy who ran the the whole mission in andrew from behind the scenes oh oh um yeah stellan skarsgard he played what was his character's name just call that's that's good enough for me but seeing like like having moments like that in the show even though it's these are more traditional star wars scenes it's oppressive we can get there especially when it's like you're a week old you're a week away from the jack black lizzo scenes where they just play jack black and lizzo it's luth and real luth and yes god damn it i'm gonna remember when you say the guy with the robes i was just like everyone in star wars wear fucking robes what he's talking about obi-wan anakin a tuscan raider boba fett in his tuscan raider gear
Starting point is 00:45:29 robes could be the imperial guys could be the emperor could be papal team speaking of clothes like what moff gideon did by like turning himself into a mandalorian that would be like uh grand moff tarkin like starting to wear like Alderaan shit After he blew the planet up It's so fucked up I actually kind of respect it Again it's like using another wrestler's finishing move on them It's so fucked up
Starting point is 00:45:55 You have to tip your cap Hey that is the perfect transition To our next ad It's our friends at C4 Energy Ladies and gentlemen Fans near and far From the top rope to the turnbuckle from power slams to the high flying moves wrestlemania and the wwe is powered

Starting point is 00:46:56 me get the boom the logo there it's backwards on my screen so i couldn't see bow c4 um but they sponsor wwe they sponsor wrestlemania and they sponsor my mom's basement. 300 milligrams of caffeine, C4 energy is going to fuel you up. You're going to get that ultimate energy to get hype, whether it's gearing up for a night out, pulling an all-nighter, trying to stay up for the Mandalorian finale next week, C4 would be a friend for you. Got to do that.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Whether you're getting ready to rumble or pumping up the crowd, C4 is the ultimate beverage to help you get in the zone. And they have an audience engagement question here. And I love these. I truly do. Ask the audience, what's your favorite WWE moment? That's really tough. Especially if you're a wrestling fan, you probably have like a hundred moments that spring to mind.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Like, what do you mean my favorite WWE moment? I have one though that I could look at and be like that is my overall favorite wwe moment be daniel bryan winning the main event wrestlemania 30 that was like my guy rooted for him from the indies to the wwe went over in the main event felt like this culmination of his entire career even beyond the wwe storyline and that was like a moment that could have made me cry i did i i did cry you know me i know you mom we love you anyway it's all right what about you clem you have a moment that comes to mind as a wrestling fan like that was the peak of your wrestling fandom i have
Starting point is 00:48:15 like a couple that flash in very quickly like just immediately now as a hulk hogan guy i would have been andre but i was too young for the andre slam and the ultimate warrior was like my worst moment as a wrestling fan because he lost to the warrior so i had two moments um both very different one was sable with the handprints that's one i think that put a lot of people i went from a boy to a man in that moment and then two kind of like you said your guy my guy and like we all love like, we all love Stone Cold. We all love The Rock. We all love all the big names. But my guy who was at this point, he had leveled up to like the A tier.
Starting point is 00:48:53 But when Mick Foley won that championship, man, that was something I still can't believe happened. Even though that son of a bitch, Tony Schiavone or whatever, tried to like spoil it for everyone. It was such like, I still to to this day in the pop wins, is that the one stone cold comes out? It's like there was probably at the beast quake of Marshall Lynch. At that point, you probably had like things shaking.
Starting point is 00:49:15 It was like for that whole week afterwards. And I can't believe Mick Foley is the WWF champion. So it was straight up awesome. If you haven't seen that moment go on youtube right now you're on youtube already if you're watching the podcast and look up mankind wins wwf championship for the first time as clem is describing stone cold comes out to help him out because the odds have to be evened against the rock the corporation he nails the rock with a steel chair when his glass shatters his music hits that crowd gives what
Starting point is 00:49:45 i think is the biggest pop ever i don't think i've ever heard a pop louder than that one so that's a must watch for everyone out there and let us know in the comments below what's your favorite wwe moment i'm sure you have a lot of different ones a lot of different people have different favorites i want to hear someone be like it's when the hurricane beat the rock one two three in the middle of the ring like i want to hear some obscure ones from the crowd this week so let us know that's a great thing to just bring back nostalgic memories as well i scroll through a comment section of favorite wwe moments i'm going on a youtube rabbit hole the rest of the day hell yeah shout out to our friends at c4 you can get their drink at 7-eleven or c4energy.com purchasing all four flavors
Starting point is 00:50:27 now before we close out oh yeah 7-eleven being the spot that's my go-to drink spot if i need to get a drink i prefer to go to a 7-eleven than just a random grocery store gas station i want to hit 7-eleven feel like the freeze the refrigerators just hit a little harder there and i bob i'm gonna go to my local 7-eleven i I'm going to pick up a C4 And I'm going to have to pop it for the 3am Because unless I Basically poison myself and get sick again So I can wake up at 3am
Starting point is 00:50:53 I'm going to need that little extra oomph to get me going So I'm getting my C4 Absolutely, and before we get out of here Let's give a few predictions for next week's finale The one big one that a lot of people are asking Are we going to see Thrawn You and I were both on record saying yes we'll see him in some kind of post credits or tease like this i now have a more specific prediction i'd like to make on that okay we got moff gideon complaining a bunch about hey he never shows up to these fucking meetings what's
Starting point is 00:51:18 going on i have a feeling moff gideon is once again at the end of a season going to get defeated by the mandalorian din jarin i don't think he's going to be killed though I think he's going to go back to meet with the shadow council in the post-credit scene and we're just going to see the hologram of Grand Admiral Thrawn step on and he's going to be like all right I'll take over from here boom and that sets us up for Ahsoka this summer I almost said Andor My timelines, my A words, they're all swapped right now But for Ahsoka He takes the video game controller Out of Tarkin
Starting point is 00:51:51 Out of Morph Gideon's hands basically I'm going to finish the level for you Because you can't do it I'll go with he's going to die, Gideon But I don't know, it could be During a fight with the Mandalorians or it could be at the hand of throne or at the order of throne i'm gonna say one of those two things will happen
Starting point is 00:52:10 because again you can't have this guy just keep on losing here and he just keeps bouncing back and i'm supposed to like respect him the only guy who loses and keeps coming back for more is the emperor and i'm sick of that fucking guy too it's the third season in a row where the second to last episode or last episode, we get Moff Gideon. It's like three seasons of just like side adventures and then Gideon and it's formulaic, but God damn it.
Starting point is 00:52:32 It works. Like again, season three, we've talked about it. Like it's like disjointed, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Season three has been very enjoyable television in my mind. Like the majority of it, at least where every week I'm still looking forward to Mandalorian. It didn't feel like the season until this week the 3 a.m we have to wake up because this is going to get spoiled for us there was a lot less fan servicey things that you wouldn't want to get spoiled about i guess but i think we are going to look back at this season and people are going to say season three was really underrated at the time. The thinking man season. That's what season three was for the Mandalorian.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Right. And then it'll be season two of the wire. He'll be like, it was really integral to the story. You need the docs, right? Yep. Yeah. Perfect way to put it, Bob. I haven't even seen the wire, but there you go.
Starting point is 00:53:20 And my final prediction, and this is more of a hope than a prediction. Really? I want Bill Burr in the finale. I want him to somehow show up. I don't care if it's with Greef Karga, with Babu Frick. Babu Frick just shows up in the finale of Rise of Skywalker. He jumps up with Zori Bliss, and he's like, hey, hey, in the final battle. Give me some of that shit.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Do I think the armor is going to turn in the finale i'm gonna go with yes i i feel like it's probably like you know if you're if you're a betting man it's probably plus money to go with yes but i'm gonna go with yes i'm gonna gamble there okay i'm trying to think if the armor actually reveals herself as the mole during the episode maybe she's the one who kills gideon from behind or something like that she hits him with with the hammer. That would be crazy. That would be fucking awesome. That would be sweet. I'm going to go with... Also, our boy Mando getting taken just feels weird.
Starting point is 00:54:14 That's just up in the air right now, and I don't know what's going to happen next. I was surprised they didn't rip his helmet off. I thought they were going to rip that bucket off the second he got on his knees, and they were going to be like, look, he ain't Mandalorian anymore Again
Starting point is 00:54:26 Sweet Pedro underneath there right My prediction Baby Yo is using the force next week I thought we were going to get it today When there's that wall separating them I thought he was going to try to fuck Throw some choke holds at Gideon or something like that But the fact we have him in the robot
Starting point is 00:54:42 He's going to need some help to get out of the situation And he's going to start forcing on motherfuckers i also think since we didn't get it this week we thought we got it for a second we're gonna get the mythosaur next week yes i think i'll be very surprised if we don't get the mythosaur do you think bow it's something bow related maybe mythosaur dark saber it's all kind of coming together as the yeah here moment yeah i think it's gonna like save her in a big moment she's gonna be backed into a corner and it's gonna like come up from the ground kind of like the monster did this week but i could see it in like you know in the force awakens when they're like all right we want kylo rey and uh kylo rey kylo ren and rey to
Starting point is 00:55:24 fight but we don't want either one of them to die. So they have to have the planet explode and like separate them. I feel like the Mythosaur could separate Gideon's forces and our forces. And that could be the big like it saved us, but they're still out there. Yep. Okay. Yeah, that's a good call. I'm with you on that for sure.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I also think, I don't know if it's this episode, I do think Paz Vizla's kid is playing. What's his name? You always, you had. I don't remember his name. I'm so bad with these new names, I know. Because I thought that was the dad's name at first. No, that's Paz Vizla. So I think that kid will play a role at some point,
Starting point is 00:56:01 whether or not the baby pterodactyls play a role still tbd um do you think by the end of the episode bow is in a good place with all the mandalorians or do you think there's like a she's kind of splitting the faction or do you think this is kind of her moment here i think you give her her moment here i think especially after this season she's kind of taken a lead role i think it'd be good to give her her moment here. I think especially after this season, she's kind of taken a lead role. I think it'd be good to give her a moment, especially because last season we ended with like, Ooh,
Starting point is 00:56:30 are we even gone good terms with her? Cause she's kind of pissed about that dark saber. So I think you give her a moment. Yeah. I hope she gets her moment. That's, that's what I'm going to say. Again,
Starting point is 00:56:38 you throw baby on her lap. You're kind of making her the baby face. You can't, you can't get mad at someone that has baby on the lap when they're driving. Yeah. So what's the hashtag this week? can't, you can't get mad at someone that has baby on the lap when they're driving. Yeah. So what's the hashtag this week? Is it,
Starting point is 00:56:47 is it girthy little droid? Girthy little droid. I think that has to be a hashtag girthy little droid. All right. Thank you for listening. Everyone tune in next week for the finale of the Mandalorian. And also keep an eye on the YouTube channel for a bunch of interviews with musicians.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I just had my favorite band ever all time low on, got a bunch of hardcore bands on next week, which that is a world I didn't know much about. And it is mind blowing. When you hear these stories, people get stabbed shot during their sets, crazy, crazy shit.
Starting point is 00:57:17 So make sure you tune in for that next week. A King nine speed Brody King of AEW. They'll all be in the basement. See you then.
