Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3G. I am your host, Robbie Fox. Along with me is the group to my rocket raccoon, Clem, my co-host. And we are here to do another free swim in the words of our friend, Eddie. We're going to talk about a couple things today. We're going to talk about our Guardians of the galaxy volume three thoughts again because clem went and saw it a second time i wish i had the time to see it a second time this week it was kind of

hell with the landlord stuff still we're out of that though where i'm into a new apartment so you know things are on things are looking good on the horizon and we're going to do some mailbag questions from the listeners so i'm excited for this. We'll also talk about succession at the end. We'll give everyone a big spoiler heads up because last time, apparently, we didn't do a good enough job with the spoilers. I got a DM. Someone said you spoiled it for me.

So I was upset about that. You never like to be that guy. Never like to be that guy. I thought we gave a pretty good like, hey, this is spoilers, yada, yada, yada. We did too, yeah. We tried. We tried.

We tried our hardest, and we're not going to do it again. We're going to get better. We're getting better on this podcast. My guy, Bob, he's no longer living in nowhere. He's going to be living somewhere in a couple days. It was like the apartment I was trying to move into was like nowhere after it gets destroyed by Adam Warlock. We lost Clem. He's back. What happened? I was trying to move into was like nowhere after it gets destroyed by Adam Warlock. Oh, we lost Clem.

He's back. What happened? I was closing out my window. So I just had you, I didn't want to click on anything wrong. And I have the, the, the things up the questions.

going since the last episode we have confirmed spoilers for guardians of the galaxy 3 yeah with their Guardians thoughts. I feel like the conversation has just been going and going and going. Since the last episode, we have confirmed spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Yeah, I was going to say, this is spoilers at this point. Guardians of the Guardians. Guardians of the Guardians. Guardians of the Galaxy spoilers. If you haven't watched it and you want to watch it and you don't want it spoiled, end this now.

Stop watching. Stop listening. Throw your phone into the nearest body of water. Computer even, if you're watching on YouTube. So James Gunn has come out and confirmed what we already kind of talked about as a theory last time of the I love you guys that Groot says at the end of the movie. He came out and said, that is confirmed. Groot saying, I am Groot. And we're just hearing him like we're family.

And I love that. I love that. He's really responded to so many fans about so many questions and concerns about the movie. Where was Star-Lord's helmet? He said Star-Lord's helmet was just in his desk drawer on nowhere. And yeah, that's he didn't take it because he had to get out of there quick. Interesting. I do think he's a little upset about the infinity war endgame them just bringing it back interesting i that bob that was such a line right there i didn't think about that being

the reason that he okay because there were some things that that came out recently too is he didn't want i think we mentioned this on the last podcast was he didn't want to, um, he wanted to murder die in volume two, but they didn't obviously, cause I think they needed her for infinity war. And he didn't want quill to punch Thanos, which I watched infinity war yesterday.

And I still think he would have punched that big purple grimace motherfucker right in the nuts section. Um, but he does break it in two and then they just bring it back right so this is like a hey yeah he had kind of a mad tweet about that i don't want to say he was mad but he it was a little salty someone said like didn't it break in volume two and he responded and he was like yeah but he miraculously got it back and i'm finna warn on game i love i love when he gets a little like he feels

himself a little bit jimmy gun here so i like i'm actually gonna throw my my my infinity gauntlet for the rest of the oh wow first time seeing it yeah man metal i got this uh this was an etsy purchase right here it was a hundred dollars more than the marvel one that i got at the ride i returned it um but this is like hardcore and i'm honest to god so the infinity stones are here they're magnetic you can take them out and you put them right back in and kind of i get to act like thanos and all um and there's also another set that light up that i have to um like you you hit them and they stay on for like a couple minutes and they automatically turn off the biggest thing though bob and you know this, like the fact that Disney launched those other ones

for a hundred bucks, but you couldn't snap and you need to be able to snap the gauntlet. That is day one fucking Marvel nerd shit. You have to just do the most iconic moment with the gauntlet. So I've got my gauntlet here. It's sitting on my desk

and my daughter, Sienna, she put my headphones on it. So it's like a headphone holder as well. It's sitting on my desk. And my daughter, Sienna, she put my headphones on it, so it's like a headphone holder as well. It's not just like a giant artifact, so it kind of works two things at once. But I didn't even think of that, because the other thing was the rocket boosters too, right?

He didn't have the rocket boosters, Starlord. And he said, oh, Rocket made him such better boosters than that, and he just didn't have them, because Rocket was obviously hurt. So I kind of like how James Gunn got got a little he was in his feelings there he's kind of just he's like what are they gonna do like fire me i'm the head of their biggest rival now so who gives a fuck and i'm on his way out the door yeah yeah i like how he's been answering everyone's questions and it's like yes or no's and pretty basic uh and then he throws a little bit of

shade at people too he's feeling himself jimmy now speaking of the kids you took the kids to see guardians 3 when we saw it we were like a little concerned about some of this stuff we were like your kids might be a little scared by some of this how did that go second viewing for you second viewing for me uh for me and i think it got better the second time because you're just swallowing all that information and once you're processing everything and you're hoping it's going to be this picture perfect masterpiece, it was definitely better because you're,

you have a little bit of an idea of what's about to happen, what's going on. And the kids, they loved it. AJ liked it. I don't think AJ truly loves anything other than like McDonald's happy meals, which by the way,

guardians are the toys of the McDonald's happy meals right now, which was a big win. Our first two, they got adam warlock and cosmo so they got kind of like the the crappy toys to start off let's be honest they're not cosmo she's a good dog she's a good dog she's a good dog she's like a c plus guardians character though let's be honest a good character not a great character she didn't have a ton to do in this movie yeah uh but sienna loved it my wife cried no joke at least six times she she as soon as the movie ended she's like i have to go pay and i'm like how do you have any water left in your body because it all came out of your eyes every time

i looked over rocket is you know gets hurt rocket goes on the operating table all the rocket stuff uh drax gets shot twice you think he's done. Star Lord's face freezes and is about to explode from space. All that kind of shit. And then the heartwarming stuff. Nebula, almost crying when she hears rockets are right. James Gunn did such a

good job throwing that curveball at us, saying, you know, this is going to be a sad one. This is going to be a goodbye to some of your favorite characters. All the stuff on the wall with dave batista and uh zoe whatever i can't say i don't know her last name saldana saldana not wanting to do their characters anymore you're thinking there's gonna be a lot of deaths and everyone survived but it's still fucked with your heartstrings uh so sienna loved it she sienna has it, I believe, 1-2-3 in her order, or maybe 2-1-3. My wife is 2-3-1.

And again, we're a Guardians 2 family. We like the vibes, the music, everything about Guardians 2. My wife made a good point here, though, and I want to see if you agree with it. She likes 3 more than she likes 1. Because 3, even though it's maybe a little darker, from the jump, they already have the Guardians vibes together. They're already friends. They have that chemistry with each other,

where one, they don't even know each other in the beginning, and then they're kind of enemies. And even though they're busting balls and throwing quips at each other, you don't get that full family feel until the end of Guardians 1. So do you kind of understand where she's coming from there? Definitely. When she said that, I said, you know what? do you kind of understand where she's coming from there? Definitely. When she said that, I said, you know what? I could kind of see where you're coming from. And I think the music hits a little better in 1,

but that side of 3 makes it so. I might be a 2-3-1 guy if I see it again, and then I have to watch 1 again. I'm just going to watch Guardians for the rest of my life, over and over and over again. I love them all so much. I don't know what order i would go and i gotta see guardians three again for sure to really get like a good ordering of it my instinct says i would be a one three two guy and i love two two is one of my favorite marvel movies it's not you know i'm not putting it last

and saying i don't like it but that speaks to how good this trilogy is and how cohesive the trilogy was like as um as a three-pack this move these movies work so well you kind of have to have the infinity war stuff but they recap it in this movie and that was also some people thought james gunn is being cheeky with that dialogue and in the elevator scene it was like she somehow came back Why did she come back and nobody else? I don't know. I guess it's the magic stone. It might be a little bit of him poking the bear. I like that shit, man.

James Gunn does seem like the kind of guy who would do that too, right? I'm sure him and I would give anything. I'd love to see the Flaggy whiteboard. I'd give anything just to hear the conversations him and Flaggy had if i was like jim yeah i guarantee flaggy calls him jim by the way he calls him jim and he calls him kev they they they shorten the names he's like jim i i know i know we just had to get it done and the russo and i i would love to see like the

russos and james gunn when they like cross paths and he's looking at the motherfuckers i told you my characters oh man so that's i think that's a that's a great call and honestly like that was the one thing we're like is gamora gamora is still there because she didn't she was there after the dusting and everything so uh good shit from uh from our boy james and if you want to hear some more mcu talk i did an mcu draft on the long take this week on lights camera Camera, Barstool with Robbie, Goochman and Ken Jack. We each drafted 14 projects.

So we did literally every TV show and movie in the Marvel Universe got drafted. It was a fun time. We also have a bunch of questions and they kind of go into the Guardian, some of them at least. So I figured we could get right into them. They are brought to you, though, by our friends at game time we absolutely love game time clem i told you last night i'm a little more thankful for game time today than i was yesterday because they just hooked me up with tickets to see blink 182 next week i'm a little afraid of even saying that i'm going to say blink

182 because i've said that four times now and all four shows got canceled over the years from 2012 to 2019. But I think it's going to happen this time. And it's all thanks to GameTime created by fans for fans. GameTime is the ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last minute deals on tickets to sports, concerts and shows.

and the purchase process just takes two taps and 10 seconds.

It's also very easy on the app if you just want to do it there. Love gametime. Thank you for the blank tickets. I can't wait to see them next week.

Gametime hits it all, baby. Sports, concerts. I got blue wait to see him next week. Game time hits it all, baby. Sports, concerts. I got bluey shows, everything, all gravy. Maybe Bing Bob goes to a Knicks game. Maybe if we can make Game 7, we can get Bing Bob to Game 7. I haven't been to a game since Linsanity. Oh, wow. So you went to Linsanity?

Yeah. Well, it was the tail end of Linsanity, though, where Mello was back. So, you know, I wanted to call it Linsanity, but if I'm being honest with myself, it was the end of Linsanity. First question is a Guardians-related question, and I loved this one. And I didn't even really think about my answer, so I'm excited to come up with our answers together. From Cease cease he says if the guardians of the galaxy were a survivor series team which wrestlers all time would be which guardian so we could take you know a wrestler from the 90s put a wrestler from modern day we could mix and match my first thought was like you

got to start with drax and say he's batista right like that's the easy one but character wise i think drax is more of a cane i think he's the guy who started kind of scary stoic and then you start to learn like the goofy side of cane and he starts to show some humor with x-pac and stuff so i want to say drax is cane that's perfect that is the perfect analogy right there you nailed that one bobot and Rocket, we got to find like a tag team, one tiny guy, one big guy, right? Like you would want to say X-Pac and Kane. Yeah, exactly. You already have a Kane. Like would Rocket Raccoon be like Spike Dudley?

Ooh, okay. Is that an okay pick? Just a real tiny guy, but, you you know he packs a punch in a fan favorite people love spike dudley or would it be like rikishi and scotty too hot was my answer so i can see that obviously you're leaving out uh right is brian uh brian lawler but his real name he was jerry lawler's kid grandmaster sex a gram well I was thinking Grandmaster Sexay and Rikishi were the two. And then I forgot the other guy. So whoever the Scotty Duhati was.

Scotty Duhati. Okay. Gotcha. That was my answer there. Because Rikishi didn't, did Rikishi ever really say anything for like years? I feel like all we got was the S and the face. And that was really, he let his ass. Yeah.

He cut a promo now and then, and then he hit Stone Cold with his car later on. So he got to cut a promo there. For Star-Lord, who can we pick for Star-Lord? Got to be just like someone you could relate to, you know? I was going to say, if he has a little arrogance to him, he doesn't even think – Shawn Michaels with the charm? The Heartbreak Kid? a little arrogance to him he doesn't even think sean michaels with the charm the heartbreak kid now the only thing is are we given in personality wise it makes sense okay i guess we've kind of

just been talking to personalities i'm like i don't know if star lord was is in the sean michaels era of or uh tier in terms of like ability maybe like intercontinental sean michaels we're talking intercontinental because i do he hasn't won the world title yet. I think he's going to get his push though. I think legendary Star-Lord will return. That is going to, they're like, fuck Chris Pratt says he wants to keep making these and making a ton of money during it.

Let's have him keep coming back. Cause I mean, just look around the landscape. That's the one thing I'm concerned about with these upcoming Avengers movies is there's not a lot of characters or even actors that are like, all right, well, we know we have Evans, we know we have Downey Jr., we know we have Hemsworth. There's really not a lot. I think that was the thing is when

obviously Black Panther passed away. It was like, we lost our guy. I think this phase was going to be built around him, Doctor Strange, maybe Quill, and we just lost one of those. Imagine if Chris Evans just died one day it would have been like i'm sorry to put that thought in your head i apologize as soon as it came out of

my mouth i wanted to throw those words yeah so i want to say intercontinental sean michaels i'm gonna say intercontinental sean michaels and then gamora do we go like china like a badass who can hang with the boys bob this, this is your gift. I once upon a time, we talked about it on KFC Radio. I did my comparing NFL teams to porn stars blog. Yeah. You comparing Guardians of the Galaxy or Marvel characters to wrestling characters. Because Chyna did loosen up at some point too, just like Gamora, right?

So I think that played. She had like a connection with Eddie Guerrero. They had a great tag team for a bit. Yeah. And then like if we want to cast some of the other guardians like Kraglin, like would have to be more of a comedic wrestler or more of a, I don't want to say the hurricane because he's like acting like a superhero. Kind of maybe the hurricane. Maybe the hurricane. Okay, that's fair.

Nebula is tough because Nebula is another one who you could say china at first because the stoicness but who's someone that really loosened up over the years uh may young i don't know did you want did you go back and like watch all the back uh back issues of the old raws and stuff from when you were like most of them yeah oh man i can only imagine watching that imagine watching that shit now i feel like you like yeah you get i watched most of it in like 2014 when the network first launched and even back then it was like you know in 2014 i was watching it like i cannot believe i'm watching this and they actually put it on their network yeah there's some real bad segments i actually that was a fun question that was a fun question i tried to watch

um the michael jackson episode of the simpsons with my kids because they heard they they watched they heard the see you see my best song they loved them like guys you understand there are some awesome simpsons songs you had no clue about and i go to watch the michael jackson like it says season three episode one where is it and i'm like that's right they took it down like five years ago after all that michael jackson shit had come to light once again and i'm like yeah i have kids i understand it but happy birthday lisa is my favorite simpsons song of all time so it was very hard for me to swallow that but it makes sense i guess we got to get you on a black market tape of that one yeah it's coming up did did uh I

think Nebula from from volume one to volume three has the biggest rise in terms of like a character I hated her in episode volume one and in volume two you're annoyed like oh she's gonna keep fucking shit up and it's not really like the characters play badly it's just I

think the way the character is her like her uh like just the way she she is and by the end of two even the stuff where she's eating the root it's not ripe it's just funny shit like that and then by three it's like she has these real emotions with rocket and everything because she was she survived the snap um i think nebula is like my big riser if you want to like give out an I agree. I saw someone tweet that she might have the best character arc in the MCU. And while I would probably say Tony Stark, because just the most screen time, she really did go from someone like you said, in volume one that you hate to someone that is beloved.

And I've said this before on the podcast as well. A lot of that has to do with the paper football scene for me or playing paper football with Tony Stark on that ship. It really made me go all right i could get down with her if we're stranded on a ship together i love paper football paper football is a big rough and rowdy thing for me actually rough and rowdy today later on i'm gonna hop on a flight right after this podcast i'll always fold something together and just start playing paper football with the boys i love it i love that you love it bob that's such a fun mom of fox special we used to do the quarter back in the day and lunch we did like the quarter oh yeah um irv did you buy tears of the kingdom

i had to look up what tears of the kingdom was it's the new legend of zelda game and i have to make an admission on this podcast i I've never played a Zelda game in my life. I'm going to make an admission too. Fuck, we're going to lose some subscribers here. Just not a Zelda fan. Just the first two for Nintendo. Again, I'm old.

I remember when those games were out. It's just like I was more of a Mario fan. I enjoyed that more. Our boy KFC might unfriend us. I know. He's going to rebuke us. On social media, he's going to no longer be friends with us. But I've just never been a fan.

I try to get into it. I fucked around and I'll play it on the Switch sometimes, like the old games. And then I'm like, it's not really doing it for me. I tried to even get my kids into it. They were into it for like a day. And then they never played it again. We rented it from the library

I want to talk about some old man shit I was at the library with them They said we have Switch games I was like ah we'll give this a shot Because I'm not going to buy it And can you rent stuff anymore Netflix is discontinuing the DVDs Did you hear about that

No I heard that and I'm surprised That they even still do DVDs. It's still around, right? Yeah. Like, Trent's parents probably still get it, but everyone else doesn't. That was a shock. I apologize. But yeah, just two guys, not Zelda guys here. And I'm open

to the newer games, because the newer games do look cool. I know the last... I want to say it was Legend Ocarina of Time. No, that's an old one whatever the last switch game was looked pretty cool to me and it seemed breath of wilderness they have breath of the wild yeah breath of the wild um this one question that you suggested when i said we're doing a mailbag i guess this one just came up in your mind do you want to intro this one yeah so uh it came as I was watching a movie

And it's probably not the right way that I phrase it But whatever, we're going to just go with this If you could make one change to a classic movie using AI What would it be? So we're just going to throw this out there to the listeners We're going to throw it out to you My answer was based on the movie And it's really

not even AI. Part of it could be using AI. But the reason I said this is because I was watching The Dark Knight and I'm like, if we could use AI to replace all the Maggie Gyllenhaal scenes with Katie Holmes, that goes from a 9.8 to a 10. Because I'll tell you, every time she's on the screen, I'm like, man, this movie would have been so much better if Katie Holmes was there. Cause every time I saw Katie Holmes in the first and Batman begins, I was like, I just love Katie Holmes. If I have to see her with another guy with Harvey Dent,

but Harvey Dent's the right guy for the city and for her. And then I have to watch her tied up by the Joker. She ends up getting, you know, blown up. She hears Harvey's getting saved. She ends up getting, you know, blown up. She hears Harvey's getting saved. She's saying it's okay. I'm like,

good blow Maggie. Jill, hold the fuck up. I've hated this bitch since she came on my screen. So I do think you take that, you get that like 9.8 or whatever you have the dark night at. And it goes to a fucking 10. I think it goes to a 10,

Bob, a perfect movie. I just watched it. Bob, you'll love this. I turned it on just to watch the opening scene because we always talk about it and then i just was sucked in for an hour and a half and i was like i have to i can't just watch this whole movie right now i have to let it go so that's kind of where i was and i was like fuck god damn and ai is like

the hot thing in the streets here so i don't know if ai is the right word for it but uh give me i think it kind of is yeah ai fate de-aging facetune face whatever it is now that's a really good pick and i love the katie holmes christian bale connection and batman begins like they they're more of like the childhood friends you could buy them as childhood friends and whatnot so i really like that two things came to mind immediately for me one is for a classic movie and one is not for a classic movie one being die hard there's that one little scene where they prod the dead body and he quenches a little bit if we could just change that and that's pretty doable i mean like george lucas probably could have changed that with special effects in the 90s i think they could do that now then the other thing that came to mind is the rise of skywalker man i hate that kiss at the end of the movie i want

that out of there you don't even really need ai for that either you could just cut that fucking scene out of there i think that is so bad and like cringeworthy every time i watch it i would like that out of there also ai hot in the streets i reached out to uh like ai musical cover artist people on reddit and i'm trying to get someone to make a tom delong ai cover of pup punk songs so it sounds like blink 182 is covering us that's incredible uh there's like uh there was like four ai stories blogged the other day francis francis hit me i was like hey i was gonna blog on ai story but i already saw there's two on the site i go no francis there's three i was like she blogged on and i think dante blogged on you would be number four of the day it's like our meatloaf uh day that we

had way back yeah yeah donald trump stuff uh but it's it's fascinating technology did you see that there was a story recently that uh someone a bunch of people bought a frank uh fake frank ocean ai song and it turned out they're all fake songs and i'm like how could you it's like so fucked that you would never even know that like the year the stuff where biggie's doing uh new york state of mind and shit like that it's just crazy the stuff this stuff sounds good can do right now um yeah that's a good those are good answers. Again, the ho, ho, ho, now I have a machine gun. That's the part where he flips so you see him blink.

That's another thing that it does. There's like a little speck of dust on the movie, and that's something you could just wipe off, and you have a 10 out of 10 as it is. I like that. Can I make one more suggestion? But you have to promise that once I give the suggestion, we just move on to the next question. All right.

Okay. I would take AI and I would have them write a complete new script and reshoot episodes eight and nine of Star Wars. And that is the correct answer. Boom. Next question. Get on it. Chat GDP. Mike wants to know what the one thing we'd change about Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is this one I'm curious to know if we have the same answer I would give Adam Warlock a little more to

do in a serious tone yeah I'd like Adam Warlock to be more I know why they did what they did where he's half-baked and they take him out early and he's kind of a fucking bumbling idiot our boy jake bass likes that by the way i wanted to point that out last week i said jose youngs was a little disappointed by that jake bass another noted huge comic fan huge adam warlock fan in the comics loved his handling in this movie he's like they had to do that because yeah he's he's fucking gold Superman. Yeah, exactly. You know what? I've told myself that in the end, like, I kind of like maybe having him where he's also,

I think it makes him funnier too, right? And he gives them more of a personality. And I think if they do use him maybe as a Guardians before he becomes this badass motherfucker down the road. My thing is a much smaller change, but it's something I, you know how I feel about this. I wanted a hall and oath song somewhere in the trilogy we never got one and um what's the uh there was a song that they were gonna have in um guardians 2 she's gone he was uh volume 2 oh yeah and james gunn said he couldn't

find a place for it i feel like you could have found a place for it with Gamora being there, but she's not really there. I would have liked to have my Hall and Oates somewhere in Guardians 3. Or I like Rich Girl. That's just a great song. Or Easy Lover. Those are the three songs that I kind of was like trying to push the James Gunn like mentally.

I never really tweeted at him because I know he probably gets those requests nonstop. But maybe just like a song change here or there. I do think it's the weakest. As I've taken a little step back, I do think it is the weakest soundtrack of the three. It might be. And that doesn't say anything about this one. It just speaks to how strong the other two are.

You know, did you see what he said about the Creep intro? That was almost a different song. No. He was just trying to decide between creep the acoustic version and wish you were here by pink floyd which i'm not a big pink floyd guy but i love that song like i think that would also work very well so i can't wait till this movie's out on disney plus and dvd and blu-ray and someone edits that together so he could see what could have been there and this bleeds perfectly into our next question from chris he says if they were to make a fourth guardians and asked you to make the soundtrack what songs

are you throwing in so i put together some songs that i think would be fucking awesome in guardians movies i put together seven songs the first of which i'm gonna go band on the run paul mccartney and wings oh that's good just they are a band on the run, Paul McCartney and wings. Ooh, that's good. They are a band on the run, the guardians of the galaxy constantly. So I feel like it fits musically tonally. And then the rest are just absolute eighties classics for me. How soon is now by the Smiths. One of the greatest,

most bad-ass guitar tones ever from Johnny Marr, London calling the clash. I cannot believe that theash didn't make their way into a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, considering James Gunn. They got to use some Clash in The Boys, I believe. Works so well. Edge of Seventeen, Stevie Nicks.

Reminds me a little bit of School of Rock, that scene where Mr. Schneebly gets John Cusack's sister to loosen up a little bit. But great, great great song obviously then shout out to my jersey boys wanted dead or alive bon jovi how did we not get a wanted dead or alive montage with rocket raccoon at some point old western style photograph by death leopard great great song and then i have one final one and my final one is this is for when peter quill finally finds love on earth and he's finally happy he settles down montage with the love scenes american girl

by tom petty oh okay yeah that's my fourth guardians movie obviously it's not the full soundtrack but those are my suggestions to whoever makes the fourth guardians um i'll throw a few in there i already said i said the the hall and oats one um and then if you're not gonna do easy lover maybe invisible touch i can live with invisible touch there uh wigwam right oh yeah yeah couldn't you see that being like a lazy scene or like they're just kind of going in slow motion I was thinking about that Like James Gunn has to decide between Like his favorite songs

He's like should I use this one in Peacemaker Should I use this one in Guardians Should I use this one in Like he's got to differentiate And he did a good job Like I feel like the Peacemaker is more of the hair metal Whereas Guardians is more of just the 70s 80s vibes overall Yup I mean just think

of even uh in infinity war throver band man like that yeah it goes so fucking perfect for that and he confirmed with someone on twitter this week that he got to choose that yeah he got to choose it which i was when i saw the question and i'm like if his answer is no whoever chose that should be in charge of guardians because it was so fucking perfect and it was it was him so not a surprise at all so um man if and when they make a fourth guardians i'm gonna go in with like such high hopes and such low expectations too because it's like how does i i it would almost have to be like sean gunn would have to direct it for me to feel like it has to be someone from the same womb, basically.

I just it's such a unique thing. Strong cartoon says, who's your next white whale interview after Connor? And we've talked about this before. I know it's been asked before. I've mentioned Dave Grohl is probably up there, obviously, Paul McCartney. But Paul McCartney is such a white whale that I don't think he would ever do a podcast, let alone my mom's basement. In terms of nerdy stuff, I think James Gunn would be up there for the boys together. Like I think James Gunn, Kevin Feige, either one of them, you could say George Lucas.

He's another one that isn't doing podcasts. He isn't even spotted in public, which that almost worries me sometimes. I'm like, what is George up to? Is he building a Death Star in space? Where is he? Who would be your, like, white whale? Well, I mean, for this, I think it has to be James Gunn or Feige. And I would just probably turn into Chris Farley showing just James Gunn.

I mean, Dave Filoni We would nerd the fuck out with Filoni You would nerd the fuck yeah exactly I just think with Gunn I could talk for an hour and a half About the songs he chose I was going to say together If we were doing a podcast together

Gunn's got to be the guy Yeah exactly and Fuggy Would be another thing but it would be Almost an Intel mission as it was I'd need to get confirmation guy yeah exactly and and faggy faggy i could would be another thing but it'd be as almost an intel mission as it was like i need to get confirmation on that fucking whiteboard i just gotta get it done and the mephisto stuff they're actually now as i'm talking through faggy there's a lot of things and nothing we would get shot with the fucking blow dart like uh waldron said right is like yeah you try to get information out of me i'm gonna get

fucking sniped by someone from disney is always watching um before we continue i want to tell everyone rough and rowdy tonight if you're listening to the podcast the day of the drop which i hope you are thank you for if you if you are super fan you're a super fan listener of the week anyone listening to it uh basement boy or girl of the week anyone listening on may 12th that's how i'm announcing it.

Like I said, right after this podcast, I'm headed to the airport with Dave, Dan, Caleb, Roan. We got the whole squad, Jersey, Jerry. Jersey, Jerry's putting on a fight this time. He just found two guys from his town that hate each other. They've been talking shit. He's like, how about we make everyone some money? You guys get in the ring and we settle it there.

This is going to be one of the greatest rough and rowdies ever. We were just talking about wrestling. We got a wrestling style main event tonight because it shiz at the Riz at first. The American Ninja loser leaves town. First time ever. The loser of this fight has to fucking retire. They've both fought in like 10 rough and rowdies. They're like mainstays

for us. Legends. I'm going to be sad to see one go. During this fight, I know my heart's going to be beaten out of my chest, like big fight feel. I'm going to be heartbroken to say goodbye to one of these guys. Vicky D's back. Hot Wheels is back. Large is going to be reffing fights. Large is going to be doing the

ring girl contest afterwards with jersey jerry and frank the tank we got a hot mic with them guys who knows what's going to happen pet is like oh fuck we didn't think this one out we need a tape delay for them yeah 10 second tape delay also i i think i could say this without me this this show doesn't go live i currently have in my possession a piece of technology that Pete needs to send the pay-per-view live tonight. And I've kind of been fucking with him. He was like, this is very, very important. Can you get this and bring it to West Virginia?

I just sent him the gif of, help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. And I said, you right now. And I said, you're Rob 2 Fox 2. You're basically R2d2 he loaded this into you and you have to then carry it down to west virginia which is essentially the tatooine of america right and pretty much get get it to it and then you're gonna have uh some i'm gonna say some old dude but i don't even know i'm not saying poor annoying who i guess who's in charge of rough and rowdy

down there is that that guy andrew is he the uh there's this guy uh jerry who's now in charge of it and he looks like orville redenbacher he's jerry jerry in west virginia sounds like the guy who's in charge of ruffin roddy this kind of makes perfect sense that loser least town retirement match it's such a good idea and i love how like we need to get everything that wwf has ever done back in the day needs to be brought into rough and rowdy. Obviously, you have Jersey Jerry's doing the promotions. You have this crazy promoter. Large is the guest referee. You have our

retirement match. Keep all the stipulations and crazy shit coming. You can't get a match next time. No, I'm not kidding. You're kidding now? Inferno match. Light the apron on fire. I guarantee you can do that in West Virginia I guarantee there's no loss against that there

I promise I'm getting a Babu Frick reference in on pay-per-view tonight. Wow. That's for the My Mom's Basement listeners. So when you hear that, if you listen to this podcast and then you watch Rough and Rowdy, tweet me and be like, oh, shit, the Babu Frick drop. If you said bad baby, no squeezy, do you think Portnoy would know what you're talking about? It would blow his fucking mind. I think he would. I'm going to see.

I mean, I already have kind of a locked and loaded babu frick type line so i'm gonna say it we'll see what he says about it i always try to get a nerdy reference in for the for the nerds i usually get like a batman or star wars thing and can you promise me whether or not you get that one in if there is a fighter that keeps grappling will you say bad baby no squeezy can you promise you at least try to get it in there? I'll try to get it in tonight, yeah. So tune in tonight, buy R&R. Let's see if I get all these references in.

I liked this question from Bruce. He DM'd me, and he said, You seem like a pretty positive person, an optimistic person. We share a ton of similar interests and opinions. I want to know what strong negative opinions you have about something, whether it's a movie, TV show, video game, band, etc. I've said this before. I hate Shazam.

It's one of the most beloved DC movies. I think it's trash. I just watched, not too long ago, a new Pete Davidson movie with Kaley Cuoco. It's called Meet Cute. Maybe the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It was just horrendous tv shows i don't think i've watched a bad tv show recently because i i'm pretty picky with my tv

shows like i gotta have it recommended to me by a bunch of people for me to dive in you know i did just start some netflix show called alone i don't know if you've ever heard of this it's pretty fucking crazy they just drop people off in like the wilderness covered with bears and they haven't filmed themselves they're alone i didn't like that they killed a bunch of animals in that right after i watched guardians of the galaxy 3 i get that they had to survive but it just didn't oh and how about this someone comes up to me outside the train station two days ago with the humane society and they're like hey do you like animal abuse and i was like absolutely not and they were like would you like to donate i said sure so i start donating filling out this

form i was going to donate 20 i thought that was nice i'm in the middle of a move so funds are tight and then they told me well our minimums 30 and i was like whoa that's like over 50 you know another like you're adding a lot of money on there and i eventually didn't get to donate because i had to run into my uber and then i went online and i donated like a sucker because i felt bad wow that is like it's a little uh presumptuous there be like up 30 bucks i was like 20 like not to be this guy but like any donation is nice no yeah i think $10 would be nice right yeah who i'm telling you whoever in the meeting was like let's bump it up to from 20 to 30 here as a minimum caused more damage and lost them more money than it ended up gaining them they

got my fucking 30 after all they made me feel bad well not everyone's as kind as you robert though you definitely do which is why you're such an optimistic person that's the whole point of this question uh i'm gonna say something here all right listen this is a fucking gripe-free zone if i say i don't like something i don't want to have everyone getting mad like listen no they ask for the negative opinions you don't get to get mad about that you can't get mad about it this is just my personal thing i do think the zelda thing kind of fits in here too. Like it just doesn't do it for me.

I actually was at the point where I saw all the, I saw someone tweeting about the tears of the kingdom, the Zelda thing. And I was like, man, I'm just happy. Like I'm not obsessed with it. And I also thought like, I'm happy other people probably couldn't sleep. They were so excited for this.

Good for them. Never been a Zelda guy. Some, another take, i just never liked better call saw i just didn't i didn't really enjoy it the i watched like four fucking seasons and it was just all this stupid dumb law shit there were obviously funny moments when jimmy was cooking at his absolute best hilarious and i know they said like the last few seasons got really great it shouldn't take that much it should be like a pistachio nut at most if i if to get to the delicious good show i should have just go pop and maybe a couple episodes and then i go from there it's like i was fucking like

digging into a fucking boulder to get the good stuff in the middle and i'll be honest granted it was through like youtubes i watched all the shit that happened and i wasn't like blown away so i'm sure there's people who think it's better than breaking bad, which is a preposterous take. So that is my take. I didn't really like a better call song. I hate to agree with you, but I agree.

I made it two seasons in and I know people said, you got to make it farther. You got to make it farther. I didn't make it farther. All the stuff with his brother, the tinfoil hat, the conspiracy. Breaking bad is my favorite show of all time. I didn't make it farther. All the stuff with his brother, the tinfoil hat, the conspiracy. Breaking Bad's my favorite show of all time.

I couldn't make it in. I just couldn't. You're talking to diehards of Breaking Bad right now. We couldn't make it that far. And if you did, God bless you, as Mike Francesco would say. And what was the other one? What was the Breaking Bad sequel? Oh, El Camino, which I actually liked El Camino.

I've gone back to that a few times. Okay, I was going to say, we watched it once and I liked it, didn't love it. Was, I guess, a little underwhelmed because I had Breaking Bad on such a high pedestal. But I feel like if I watch it again, I'm like, oh, that was fun. I watched it like six months ago and I really liked it, yeah. Cool, cool.

I want to almost do a Breaking Bad rewatch. I think my wife said that to me the other day. She's like, let's do a Breaking Bad rewatch. I think my wife said that to me the other day. She's like, let's do a Breaking Bad rewatch. Oh, yeah. Well, it's leaving Netflix. So you're going to have to buy the DVDs leaving Netflix on the 30th. Or you could go real quick. Yeah, dude.

That's a hell of a bit. Let's go. Aaron Paul is going to be in the new season of Black Mirror as well. I saw him in the trailer. I can't fuck with Black Mirror, dude. It's just too crazy. And then it gets a little too real because we're kind of living in Black Mirror I can't fuck with it it's a good show

I want Aaron Paul to get more roles though what a fucking great actor who hasn't done much after that he does one thing that he does very poorly I can't say it on this network but the thing he does he stinks at it he's in a commercial he's in a commercial

and it's honestly so bad that I'm happy to do it because he's so bad at it he's in a commercial he's in oh you're right you're right you're right and it's honestly so bad that i'm happy to do it because he is so bad at it um the final question from austin i don't think this is dave's austin i think it's a different austin how would you have how would you have marvel and star wars eventually cross over bad guys or good guys to start the movie maybe even a series crossover i think this is going to happen one day. This is maybe a hot take. I genuinely believe there's a lot of money to be made in crossing over these universes, whether it's going to be good or bad.

They want to make toys where it's Luke Skywalker versus Iron Man or something. I think that's going to happen one day. How would I do it? I would let Taika Waititi handle it in his movie. And you would, I think you start small with aliens. You don't right off the guess they are in the same multiverse or universe right now. If you travel far enough into the galaxy, far, far away into the galaxy, you can find these other multiverses, universes, planets. I think start small and build up from there and then see if it works.

You know, you don't risk canon for something that couldn't work that's fair yeah you don't want to just have the flintstones and the jetsons meet which is such a outdated reference that i use now my kids don't use that yeah last week yeah it's because it it really you see your mortality is when you realize your kids don't know any of the cartoons you grew up with. When it gets big and it becomes, I think the way you did it was perfect. It's like when you put the fish in its bag still in the tank and you're letting the water all get to the same temperature. That's what you're doing. You're letting a couple aliens and a couple little side aliens just cross paths.

But when you actually rip that bag open and that fish is going in the tank and mingling with all the other little fish i think the guardians have to be at the forefront of this right it just makes too much sense i don't want to see captain marvel being with the star wars people because you have to think it's a space thing obviously so it needs to be someone that is in space i do think that the only problem is is i feel like the guardians are almost too funny and light for like the star wars universe like that's the one thing you also run to the i just realized the peter parker problem is he's a big star wars fan who is a lego death star and he references the movies i was actually trying to think if it had been canon in the mcu of his

existing and yeah it definitely does. So then it's like, oh, is that a documentary? Like they say with Avatar, we go to the Avatar land, Disney shit. So that's that's a legit problem. All right. I think we had a snag here. We're going to figure this one out. And I don't think this is happening soon.

When I say this is going to happen one day, I think this is going to happen like. Maybe in the next decade, but I think in probably like 10 years, this is going to happen when maybe in the next decade but i think in probably like 10 years this is going to happen when they're really really dry out of ideas disney stock is currently let's do it 91.56 and there is a lot of red i'm seeing with it if it hits like 50 do they hit the star wars marvel button there is a button it's in feige's office and feloni they both have to hit the button it's like george says they have to turn the keys together yes they have to turn the keys in the submarine together like george costanza says i love that we had that reference there um so yeah it's gonna happen and it's gonna happen at what's the number 50 50 yeah there it is if

that happens in the next 10 years god bless bless whoever is the CEO at that point. And then the final thing on this week's podcast, we promised it at the beginning succession circle back. So listen, if you're not caught up on succession, get out now. Hurry up. Get out. Open up your apps. Close out of the podcast. X out of your windows like clem did earlier on the podcast and if you are spoiler zone and if you are someone that turned off the podcast because you didn't watch guardians somehow find out that we're no longer talking guardians but we are talking succession but that part is spoiler so if you haven't watched that part turn us off again but if you have watched succession you want to be spoiled let's talk sport what is it succession circle back i think we call it circle back yep that's that's it perfect i saw dave in the office yesterday i asked him what he thought of the season and he's one behind right now so nobody tweet dave anything especially you know succession related he is a big fan of this season but he also feels like the show is lacking a little without Logan. I do agree to a degree.

Like Logan is the best character, even though he's like the biggest dick, he is the best character on the show was the best character on the show. So it does lack a little bit, but every single week I'm like, damn, this show is good. Like even this past week where it's mostly just a party,

you're kind of going like conversation to conversation. Greg's being more and more of a dick. he's firing everybody earning mattson's trust and then you find out the bombshell that mattson's lying about his numbers if it was he's like well if there were two indias it would be true it's like well there's a billion people in india holy fuck and then they end it with the tom and shiv fight like maybe the most tense fight we've gotten all season he tells her you how do you you would not be a good mother. I don't think you would be a good mother. She's got a baby in her belly.

That's something you don't say to your wife, estranged wife, not estranged, whatever at all. Let alone when they have a baby grant, he doesn't know yet. She has a baby, but you still don't say it.

Someone said it perfectly too. That Shiv Tom fight on the balcony is like the first time that characters actually talk like normal people on succession. It was like the first time that characters actually talk like normal people on succession it was like the first time i remember it was so stark but it was awesome those people i mean it's like just like the emmys are just carving their names into the statues right now like we're not even gonna bother if you're fucking we said that about the last of us too that's true that's a fuck will that be a mini series and this will be a i don't know i hope they're nominated against each other holy fuck and that's why hbo is so fucking awesome because those shows that's just the first half of the year they've done it uh

it was like what about house of the dragon too is that nominated for this or is that last season if that's this upcoming i don't know where the cutoff was but oh my god hbo absolutely killing it this year. This past year, you know, the whole calendar year. It's incredible, man. This first two thirds of this episode was just kind of like, eh, it's fun, whatever. And then it was just bombshell, bombshell, bombshell.

The Madsen thing. I need India 2 to actually exist. Because the shiv wagon is about to go off the fucking rails if it doesn't. Because she made her bed with Madsenson but she's also kind of like she's never actually like stabbed her brothers in the back at this point she's kind of like they don't really know what's going on poking them with the knife yeah but it hasn't pierced the skin how about how she always is like constantly they're fucking each other like everyone in this show fucks

each other over right to the point of no return the issue is like tom fucked her over to the point of no return last season yeah and that's and that that look i still see that look sometimes i go back to that gift but it's like feels like godfathery vibes you know yeah dark room and i'm like closing the door at the end yeah yeah. Which is actually my favorite part of the last Jedi. Maybe the end of the last Jedi. Ray. Oh, we're rewriting that Bob.

It's already been answered earlier in the podcast. Also, I've seen a theory all over Reddit, Twitter, everywhere where people are talking about succession that I love. And I really think it's going to come true. I think Greg is firing Tom this season. I heard someone said the same thing to me, and I fell in love with that idea.

It would be so fucking great. They're showing how ruthless he is. I don't care. I'll fire Ebba. We don't want that attitude in our company, like laughing up with the boys. I think he really did earn Mattson's trust in this episode. If Greg can be the one to throw the Tomlet in the garbage, it would be a poetic thing. And I don't know how we get there because all this Madsen shit seems crazy.

And that's the other thing. Kendall doesn't seem to know what the fuck he's doing or he's so manic with, like, his actions. And then he ends up kind of being right. Like, this Madsen shit was all kind of just bullshit when it's all said and done, which it feels more and more like Madsen's turning into Elon Musk. Like, he's not even a programmer he just was some guy that like we basically was our pr team that made people think like he's a smart dude that can code and shit like that i thought that was absolutely hilarious and then elon's watching like glass onion succession just he's just like again it's about me no he is like so he doesn't understand that he's just being true he's a robot yeah exactly

our boy the one percenters our boy cons how about that fucking he's like only one person here cares about me and i only care what they think our sweet willa our future first lady sweet willa the kings of oman king and queen of oman or whatever the fuck gotta ask my woman about oman hey he's like going through the place like that seems a little car bomby like let's talk un and they're like gods he had the line of the episode too i wouldn't go anywhere without nukes how about north korea what a connor line connor roy our fucking king man he's the best it really just does diffuse everything and this i think they said uh episode eight which i believe is the next one like craziness happened i think they said it's like one of the craziest episodes ever so i don't

know what the fuck that can entail right and as we mentioned last week we have a super-sized finale 90 minutes for the finale which is going to be awesome. It's like a mini movie there. I mean, not even a mini movie. Movies are 90 minutes. That's a movie. It's a movie. That's a good movie.

How long movies should be? Agreed. Agreed. I can't wait. It's been a great season of Succession. As we said, I think on the last Circleback, I think Season 4 has been stronger than Season 3. I think we're back to like peak succession fives essentially. And if they could land this plane with, I don't know what the final scene should be,

but if they could do it, this will go down as an all timer. Yeah. I'm loving it. I do think that there is a, I think it's a 2020 COVID like that's, I think why season three was a little off. It's because of all the COVID shit and they're

getting out before the writer's straight could have fucked them up they might have like navigated this perfectly given all the different challenges along the way um I love it I'm a I'm very happy and non-spoiler non-succession thing we're both fans of the show Dave I think Dave had a huge bounce back after season two which a lot of people didn't like i think it might have ended all pretty good if i remember correctly but i do think there were some weird parts season three i haven't watched the last episode everything else has been phenomenal i've loved it loved it agreed we're back to season one fives with dave the cameos have been great the actual storyline has been great having the gang together on tour is awesome

like having everyone together in every episode and yeah the storm episode from this season was one of my all-time favorite episodes of dave check it out it's on hulu if you've never seen it it's half hour show hysterical and they they play the they play the new ones on fx and then i think it goes to hulu kind of like they do with the bear so that's where i usually watch it um and yeah a lot of times the episodes you think it's going one way and they keep hearing think it goes to Hulu kind of like they do with The Bear. So that's where I usually watch it. And yeah, a lot of times the episodes, you think it's going one way and they keep hearing toes and it goes a completely different way. And sometimes in a crazy direction, the R.I.P. Little Dicky one.

R.I.P. Little Dicky. His hotel visitor. I'm like, what the fuck are we doing right now, boys? What's going on? So it goes in a bunch of different ways you could never see going so it's it's awesome awesome show big fan all right that was the uh free swim i don't feel bad taking that for maddie but this was a free swim podcast mailbag podcast bob free swim is a thing long before my friend edward and i love the man i've heard free swim used before him but uh

you know we'll just take it maybe this we'll call this Barstool Chicago. They're not using dog walking anymore, right? They changed to the mid-show. What is the dog walk? Maybe it is the dog walk. Redline Radio changed. They still have the dog walk. We're Redline Radio.

We're Redline Radio. All right. Make sure you like the video and subscribe if you haven't already. Tune in to Rough and Rowdy tonight. And I'll try to get that Babu Frick reference in for all the people. I think I tore my shoulder just fake boxing. That's not good. That's not a good sign of my life.
