Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello, and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3C and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox, along with my co-host, Clem. And you might see in my background, if you're watching on YouTube, in a new basement today. I moved, different backdrop. We're not going to have the brick anymore, which is tough because the brick was nice. I liked having the brick back there, but you know, as I get settled into this new apartment, I'll get something in the background that looks even nicer. Clem, how are we doing? Our boy, Bob, I love when people are, I love when

there's a little change in the, in the podcast, in the, in the scenery here. I remember when I just changed parts of the room minds were blown people there was uh i think penn stock went up after they saw that it was such a big deal and speaking of stock going up the reason bob's in a new apartment because the basement boys are going through the roof let me rank out of all the 800 000 podcasts at barstool sports i'm going to power rank the barstool sports content creators based on how they stand at the people at YouTube. Number one, Robbie Fox. Number two through a million.

Everybody else, the basement boys on top of the fucking world. How about that, Bob? What a tweet to get yesterday from Erica, CEO of Barstool Sports. When she says, of all the people at YouTube, the one person that the executives brought up was Robbie. I immediately I just quote tweet it with like the blushed face because I was like, does that is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing?

I think it's a good thing, but you never know. And then Hank texted me and he was like, oh, yeah, that was all time. They just brought you up out of nowhere. The guy was like, oh, yeah, Robbie Fox, the UFC guy, my mom, something. And Hank was like, my mom's basement. So I guess the basement boys are crushing it at YouTube. Moving needles. We are disruptors.

I guess you could say we are the biggest thing in the world from the basement to the penthouse. Basically, that's what we're doing here. So, you know, if like maybe we have to have a sit down, Jason, I'm going to come. We just kind of think about what we're doing here. So, you know, if like maybe we have to have a sit down, Jay Snow, and come. We just kind of think about what we want to do. Maybe we can have like James Gunn as a third chair on this now. Instead of interviewing him, we just bring in some big, big dick third co-host or something like that down the road. Because I think, you know, got to get money to get money. You got to give money to get money.

So let's keep it going. Absolutely. Absolutely. And when you say we're disruptors, I agree. And we are using that word in the exact clueless way that they were using it in glass onion. We don't know what it means, but it sounds nice.

Don't it? God damn. We're the Kings of YouTube though. I, that was, that was my first note where the Kings of YouTube, me and you, I'm including you in it.

You're as much part of this channel as I am, in my opinion. Um, I'm your true. You're hot. You're flying the ship, but I'm. I'm your Chewbacca. You're Han. You're flying the ship, but I'm the big, lovable, goofy guy as the sidekick. We're doing it together. I don't care if it's probably because Dana White videos do a billion views immediately.

I'm going to tell myself it's just as much, you know, the thousand views that we get on our episode recaps for She-Hulk. They're saying, man, look, do you see what Robbie's doing here right now? That's really impressive. You know what? Fuck it too. House of the Dragon, those fucking, those numbers were legit. And then we have podcast numbers on top of all that. So YouTube, you talk to me and Robbie.

Hey, you know, at contract time, I'm just going to say like, they don't franchise tags here at Barstool. So the clock's ticking on, you know, the CEO snowing in Portnoy, whatever the basin boys moving on up in the fucking world, the Kings of YouTube. That seems like a big deal, right?

Listen, the Kings of YouTube, not only the Kings of YouTube. I don't know if you saw this on Netflix this past week, but Conor McGregor's documentary dropped McGregor forever. Clem, I'm not only the king of YouTube, I might be the king

of Netflix. Look at that guy. Look at that guy. Look at that. The hair was so fresh and young back then. It was poofy. Extra poofy because it was new. It's a beautiful thing, Bob. I was going to say the king of all media. That has already been taken by Howard Stern. You are the prince of all media, Bob.

Netflix, YouTube, the prince of digital media, maybe we'll call you. We don't have to say all media. We'll say digital media. I think that's fair. I like that a lot. That sounds even cooler. That sounds like I'm some kind of tech genius, even though I just said I don't even know what disruptor means. I'm not a genius of any sort.

But I did watch the entire McGregor Forever documentary. It got people asking me for my thoughts on it constantly. What did you think of it? All four episodes. Did you knock him out in one sitting? I did. And I thought it was amazing. If you're a McGregor fan, if you're a UFC fan, if you're a sports fan, this is straight

up porn in the amount of content that they show you the behind the scenes stuff, the losses, the injuries, the setbacks, the family stuff, the community service. It was everything you wanted it to be and more uh even dave loved it he texted me say he said it was good yeah i like that's all he said about it yep uh i saw it i saw that it appears that like half the text message was like blurted out and i thought the word knocked out was in there i think that's just an apple bug that's going around there so i I'm happy to hear Dave likes it. If anyone wants to know my thoughts on the McGregor thing, it's exactly what Robbie's is. Cause listen, we're the basic boys. We've got to stick together. You know, times are going to get tough. I don't want, you know, the views and the power that we have at

this company now are about to have to change this dynamic here. I don't want us to break up. I want us to stay together. I don't want to be the Beatles. I want to be the Rolling Stones. So that's how I'm going to say it. So whatever Robbie thinks about this, I think about it. Today's podcast is brought to you by 3G.

You know, the people you're listening to are the only people that work on this podcast. So shout out to us and shout out to you, Rob, the guy who cuts, the guy who produces, does all the clips, puts all the things together. This guy right here, the number one, like people at YouTube,

they just have your face up there at the top of the fucking, and the people are like, these guys are really sucking their dicks for 10 minutes about a meeting. It's like, yeah, you have to just get them. Listen, we don't get this very often. So when we get our wins, we got to celebrate them and now we're celebrating a success story let's transition it let's talk about a failure the star wars galactic star cruiser at disney is unfortunately closing after only one year spent open it's

closing in september it costs about five thousand three hundred dollars for a family of four to stay there for two nights. It's obviously marketed as more than just a hotel. It's a full cinematic experience. Everyone in character. You're doing galas. You're dressing up like you're in a Star Wars movie planet. It connects to the Batuu Park, so you get to have that full immersion. But I think they just priced everyone out of this.

I can't imagine spending that much money of my own money, like having to save up. We went to Star Wars with Dave's money, and we got to throw that credit card around like it was the Bat credit card, never leave the cave without it. That was very fun. And we're already trying to convince Dave to take us to the Star Cruiser before it closes.

But $5,000, who could afford that clam who so and that's the thing i don't think star wars nerds kind of so your typical prototypical star wars nerds they're in their mom's basement right and hey they're not spending money on rent and food and whatever it may be so you figure they're adding it up it's still like to go from your mom's basement to then spend five thousand dollars for two nights two nights in this place you're not getting a week um you know my trip to disney i think with tickets included not airfare but it was like tickets to the park and the hotel was about five grand for just that was all it was not food not airfare yada yada yada to then do that

for do that for just two nights like there's just no fucking way that's possible and listen star wars guy here i'm on the biggest star wars podcast in the youtube executive's eyes and guys i'm telling you this is not going to stop being a thing for a very long time yeah beat it to the ground um it wasn't even like an option we have a boss who threw an entire trip with me you ken jack and jeff just because he didn't go to the star wars land the first time we tried to get him to do the hotel we brought it up in that text chain multiple times and not i on twitter i'm tweeting at him not once was anything more than like, there wasn't even like, what are we talking about here?

Just straight radio silence. When Dave goes radio silence, that means he does not give a fuck about what you just said. If Dave has no interest in going to the hotel. So your rich Star Wars fans aren't going. Your poor Star Wars fans we just talked about aren't going. Who the fuck went to this thing? Are there rooms that still have not been even like accessed by people?

Like, I feel like it's still like the plastic wrapping on the TV and shit like that. And I mean, our guy Mario, I know he tweeted out last year. He put together the video of what the rooms looked like. And it kind of looks like one of the prison cells from Andor. Basically, it totally does. There's like beds on the wall like that. Yeah. No, not it.

Looks like you're. Yeah. Like looks at your prisoner in an imperial ship or something. It's like beds on the wall like that. Yeah. No, not it. It looks like you're, yeah, like looks at your prisoner in an Imperial ship or something. It's not like a fun looking ship. They should have, obviously this would cost way more, but if you put Star Wars fans on the board, I think we would all agree that the room should all be a little bit different. You should have Endor rooms and you should have Dagobah rooms and you should have Cloud City rooms and Naboo rooms.

And guests should get to have a little selection or something like that. There should be a little bit more, I don't know, like fun in, in the star Wars hotel. And if you're not going to have, if you're going to have that stuff also make it so I can see how fun it is. Right. So it's like, yeah, you know, um, any of the hotels there, Port Orleans, and then you have the nice stuff like we stayed at, Yacht Club, Disney Park. There's all these different kind of hotels. For the most part, it's just a hotel.

This is like a show, it seems like, right? If I see the Animal Kingdom hotels that are like the high quality hotels that are expensive, it's like you have a giraffe eating like outside your fucking room. That's easy for me to think, to me to like understand. If I just see a fucking guy dressed up as like one of the pussy face

aliens walking around the like hotel lobby that doesn't really do anything for me they had to like market the shit out of this because again 5300 because that 5300 people are going to say should i spend 5300 and spend two nights in orlando or should i spend 5300 to go to like a beach in cabo or fucking you know wherever your your favorite location is5,300 to go to like a beach in Cabo or fucking, you know, wherever your, your favorite location is. They're going to try to choose the beach unless they're like diehard,

diehard Star Wars fans. And then they're going to see the rooms and go, yeah, I don't want to stay in a prison room that has a Murphy bed in it. What? That's such a disappointment. This is my spin zone tour. They're not just going to knock the hotel down.

Right? Like that, that just seems like it's going to be an absolute waste i don't know i think they're going to make something better right and whether it's a star wars hotel that's going to be better or they're going to pivot to some other disney brand i feel like you have the hotel already built and you just make it something better i'd like them to stay in the star wars galaxy and make something better out of it uh but if you know if that's not the case whatever but i'm gonna tell myself they're gonna make it better again this is

like i don't even know this was probably this is probably this was definitely started by bob heiger he leaves yeah fucking flunks in the time he's gone and now that he's back they're killing it uh so i i don't know man i'm i'm shocked though that disney admitted the l after just one year like they didn't even lower the prices or anything right i know yeah well maybe they can't afford to I don't know, man. I'm shocked, though, that Disney admitted the L after just one year. Like, they didn't even lower the prices or anything, right? I know. Well, maybe they can't afford to put it on because you've got to pay the actors full time, and they have to live in the hotel, I think.

So there is something to be said about what you just suggested. I think it would be cool. It connects to Batuu. It's the only park that it connects to so you could go like to and from it would be cool if they made the hotel look like the interior of cloud city or something put a restaurant in there star wars restaurant that white sleek interior because you already kind of have that look i think that would be pretty sweet so i'm kind of with you on that make it something new all right and like let's let's see let's let's talk let's talk about what really needs to happen to really make this thing work what do they have to do to really make um to make like a cloud city a bespin like park work bring billy d williams in bring them in have lando fucking cape on and all

baby blue and he's flirting up your girl health you never know yeah you might steal your girl like that's part of the fucking charm of this new cloud city you gotta sign a form that says like if he steals your girl that happens that's what lando does yep exactly i will be like lobot's chubby son i've already like and this is like it can't be that expensive don't think in vegas don't they have like, what do they call, residences? Like, that's Billy Dee Williams' residence. This is his retirement plan. He's in Florida.

Like, I know the income taxes. There's no income tax and shit like that. Like, get Billy Dee there and let's go and have some fucking fun in Bespin. You could throw the... Dude, like, Disney has the technology. I'm talking this out, Bob. I think we have something here.

Let's make carbonite. You can actually put like your dad in carbonite. Let's figure out a way to make that happen. You have the little fucking mutant little guys there that run the machine. I think we've landed on something here. I think we have- Just like dry ice all around you outside that looks like clouds so you can't see the floor. Yep.

There we go. There we go. That would be kind of sick. I don't know. I think they can. I, I think we have a winner here. And like,

everyone loves empire. Like you, this is the thing you throw something that's from the sequel trilogy, the prequel trilogy. People are going to be like, I hated this. I hated that. You're going to have splits at the very least.

The original trilogy, pretty much universally loved. And the reason that star wars is the franchise it is empire i don't even know anyone that that hated empire let alone didn't actually i don't know anyone that didn't love empire now if i did i probably excommunicated them for my life and i forgot about them but even but like i'm pretty sure i've never met anyone that didn't absolutely love the empire strikes back and like dude the fucking fit that fucking uh harrison ford has in that movie too like that's another thing everyone wears like you dress up

as the characters did so you have harrison you get to either the harrison ford outfit princess leia looking like god damn fucking five course meal just magnificent everyone even three po's all fucking shiny and stuff like that before he blows up My favorite Luke outfit the jumpsuit that he fights Vader in We have something here Even Boba if you want to dress as Boba too Because that's kind of where he makes his bones And all that

Dude just think about the character breakfast You could have at the place where Vader pulls The fucking okie doke Oh man that would be awesome You go in you get to shoot at vader right away like you get to fire a couple sharp shots at a target now this is my question to you this thing being so expensive it's the actors i think it's a big part let's be honest like the actors in disney are great like the employees are great it was kind of as a as a 40 old man with

kids as i was watching everyone with the lights, I was like, this is cool. It's not like I didn't feel like I was actually in a galaxy far, far away at that point, right? Yeah, you feel like you're in Disney still, for sure. You have to make me feel like I'm actually there. So if the actors at this hotel are like

cut above what we see on the floor at Disney, cool. If not, you have to work on that. But the biggest thing is if I'm paying $5,300 for a hotel, I got to have fucking carbonite freezing. I got to have obviously your blue milk. And most importantly, I got to have dorms that open on themselves exactly like they do in the

movies. And I don't know if that's the case. Cause I think they would have showed us the doors opening and closing. If that's a, you have to make this shit legitimately like a star wars movie basically we would hear like a toddler got their arm chopped off like two weeks into the star wars hotel opening by a door going true yep and it's like and you know what bob it's fucking star wars bad shit happens to good people all the time in that galaxy limbs get cut off yeah yeah i mean shit the time and it can flip to vader we all know what

happened there it was not pretty yeah no so there you go star wars galactic star cruiser we did send a text in the disney boys group chat trying to get the trip uh off and running before it closes in september so we'll obviously keep you updated on the progress of that so jeff sent a thing it was it was the picture of the tweet, Star Wars Galactic Cruiser shutting down on September 30th, which again has to be done before football season starts because that's a busy time for everybody here. And Jeff writes, we may have to go before it closes. Now I thought this was the non-Dave text chain

that was like me, you, Ken, Jack. Oh yeah. Dave was on this one. It was me, you, Jeff and Dave. And I was was just this was more to jeff than anybody but i said i could see dave spring for that if he was really happy happy after winning some sort of barstool competition do we have any big ones of those coming up trying basically to say hey let's get zd to the fucking championship here and maybe dave will get us there

and then portnoy goes that's the hotel and i go yeah just opened last year and that was the last we heard so he's not like that was was sick. That's a bummer. I got to get there. Just radio silence from there. So the fact Dave hasn't already jumped at the hotel makes me think he doesn't give a fuck about going to it. The Disney boys are in there. Robbie has been dreaming of it. Yeah, I have been.

And he was open to it at Rough and Rowdy because before it even got mentioned that it was going to be closed, I brought it up as like, hey we do disney boys round two and i just said it like we were doing it said when we do disney boys round two we got to do the hotel so it's a little different than the last experience and he was like oh okay he's like i think he said like that's the super expensive one i was like yeah and it's when dave's saying that's the super expensive yeah it's just like disney what were you thinking with that? It's probably not that much more than Dave's regular hotels that he stays at. That's the thing.

It's expensive to us. I'm sure Dave probably pays similar whenever he stays at a hotel. But he has room to walk around at his hotel rooms when he does that. He has a full penthouse. That is the issue here. I'm happy you brought this up, Robbie. We'd be spending i mean there's four there's more than four of us too so we'd have to get two rooms and it's it's mixed it would

probably just be me you ken jack and jeff in one room with the dave and the other but that's when i have the night terrors coming out there's gonna like that's when that's gonna probably be some of the best content we're gonna get but it's also gonna lead to like, everyone's going to be looking to get the fuck out of there after that 48 hours in the little spaceship. So that is a problem. Disney boys too, the nerds strike back. I'm trying to think of how we're going to pitch this video to a sponsor to pay for the $10,000 in rooms we need to have.

I don't want to say it, but I do want to say it. Is it the tank strikes back? That'll get us the views. That'll get us the views. The most recognizable man of parcel, as they say. So, you know what? I could kind of see. Tank strikes back?

With like, I could see him with the Vader mask on, looming in the back of the poster, right? I could see that. Tank strikes back. Oh, another motherfucking wake up call at 8 a.m um more big news this one from the marvel universe i don't even know if you saw this yet clem jeff loveness is reportedly off kang dynasty the next avengers movie he was the writer of quantumania and he apparently is not off because of the writer's strike.

He was off this movie before then. And it was written about, and then I googled Jeff Loveness fired to see if there was anything about it yet officially. I just found one article where he was talking about his writing of MODOK in Quantumania. He said, it might get me fired off kang dynasty but we'll see and uh i'm not saying that did it because i liked modok and quantumania but he did get fired off quantumania or kang dynasty so i did not see this when you said he got fired off i'd go oh shit did we lose a good writer and then you said he was the guy who wrote quantumania and i said good and i'm gonna say it wasn't modok I would say it was everything basically but

MODOK that got you fired off it and listen if people didn't like the way MODOK looked at the movie that's fine there's no way that comic book character looks anything but absurd which is kind of the whole fucking point of MODOK which is one of the things I was frustrated with by the people criticizing that whatever that's a win I'm going to say

what's his name Jeff Lovelace Jeff Loveness Jeff loveness jeff loveness uh out of everyone involved with quantum mania the second biggest loser is him so yeah i i didn't know if they were gonna be rewriting this to be you know the uh let's see the i'm trying to think of any marvel villain that's alive who's the biggest marvel villain right now that's alive other than kang well a vfx artist just came out and said that drax takes the high evolutionary's body off the ship before it explodes so is it him the high evolutionary dany's dynasty there we go there's our avenger movie because uh they're gonna have to do some serious gymnastics about how they're gonna get kang Kang out of this next movie or in this next movie, I think, based on the legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York, I think, at this point.

Yeah. And it did get announced that Loki season two premieres on October 6th. They didn't announce anything more than that. We didn't get a trailer. But Echo was announced to release on November 29thth all at once and we talked about this i love that you're releasing a show like echo all at once loki i want to speculate week to week talk about on the show like this echo a new character let me sit down binge the whole series and kind of get my thoughts on it like that so we're not making it out to be something it isn't

and we're not being led on week to week of is daredevil going to be in this one what about this one what about the next one is kingpin going to be in this one just give us the full thing like it's a movie we said that about like we would rather this be a special presentation but hey prove us wrong by releasing it all at once i'm going to be selfish and say someone that does a podcast that usual end up doing the week-to-week recaps i would rather not do a week-to-week recap if the show is going to be not great right we've done it in the past we stopped doing it or then kind of like with stranger things we just watch them all and caught up i like being able to watch it at our own pace and then we can kind of just get one podcast done about it all this is honestly the second biggest news other than youtube saying we are

the greatest content creators at all yeah true which again i'm looking myself into your name your name was mentioned oh you're in there i'm in the basement um yeah i'm doing my mom's something that's that's you he might have been saying my mom's clem show you know like he might have been a big clem guy that's true that's true true. I said, I would love to be there. Just big Jose Young's fans. Like this guy just crushes when he teaches us about comic books. Cause basically Jose is like the true star of this goddamn show. Whenever he comes on, he's, he's the fucking best. He is the best.

Back real quick to that. Love this thing. Are we just going to say like in the nicest way possible, it's probably a good thing just based on he went oh for a very big one because i have a take i have a take ready okay the trailer for quantum mania is the second best movie of the mcu this year like guardians volume three is one that trailer fucking yellow brick goodbye yellow brick road and the way you think it's gonna be if they had just i'm gonna so I have now convinced myself that the alternate ending

to How I Met Your Mother is the actual ending. And basically, I've convinced all the other people who hated that ending, which anyone with a brain, aka Captain Contra, doesn't have a brain, would agree with. I am now going to say the Quantumania trailer is what happens in Quantumania. Just how you see it, and it kind of like

Kang takes his daughter, he gets her back, you don't really know what happens. All Mated. Just how you see it, and it kind of like, Kang takes his daughter, he gets her back, you don't really know what happens. All that other bullshit with these little parallel universes and shit like that, never happened. Am I wrong? I don't even know

what other MCU movies came out this year. Did Wakanda Forever come out this year? No, that was November. Okay, good. That would have been a problem. That would have been a problem. Yeah, I mean, I think it probably is one of those cases where the trailer might be better than the movie.

Right, right. It set up more intriguing storylines that the movie kind of threw to the side. And, hey, maybe that's not totally Jeff Loveness' fault. If some of that was a choppy edit, maybe he wrote a more cohesive story. But, I mean i i heard that i know you never like to see anyone lose their job or anything but like he'll he'll land on his feet in hollywood i'm sure he's a rick and morty writer and stuff um just like it would have been better if kobe didn't like he just yeah for like another three years didn't make me be like oh god damn like kang dynasty is ruined now now like, all right, maybe they're regrouping and they're saying, let's figure some stuff out here.

Maybe Waldron gets that part and we get cast as the next Kang. You know what the fuck? Now we're talking about now we're talking. You know what the fuck the thing is? You know, Feige has his little book and it's like opening case of emergency only for guys to like fix a franchise. And number one on that list is Jimmy Gunn.immy gunn don't work here no more jimmy gunn is working for your competitor so that's kind of a problem i don't i don't know if i'd want james gunn doing an avengers movie though it feels a little too like you have to kind of separate church and state

guardians are great in their own way and then the avengers are like it's another group i don't want to have two james gunn franchises like that. Do you want the Russos getting involved in this? Do the Russos just become the Avenger guys at this point? I think they have figured out how to make a great, perfect MCU movie obviously. They haven't had

very much success post Avengers, post MCU career. I'm going to say something crazy and people are going to do it. Come at my house with pitchforks and a, the burning torches, whatever. Do it.

Then tick tock it. And then get those fucking views. YouTube boy, tick tock Fox. My choice to come in and direct Avengers. The Kang dynasty is JJ Abrams. This guy knows how to reboot a franchise. He's done it before.

He did it with Star Trek. He did it with Star Wars. And say what you will about how he landed those ships. He knows how to kick one off. He did it with Mission Impossible 2, made what is still one of the best Mission Impossible movies, Philip Seymour Hoffman. This guy, I trust him with my life.

I would trust him with my baby's life. My firstborn son will be named JJ. My firstborn daughter, if it's a daughter, will also be named JJ. I trust him. I just went overboard for the TikTok there. I'm not going to name my kid after him. If you have twins, they're both going to be named JJ. One's going to be named Jay.

The other is going to be named Jay. You know what, Bob? I love it. It's a take. That's the reason you're number one at YouTube right now because of takes like that. So shout out. And this is the thing. You are raising the stakes to an obscenely high level if you bring in JJ Abrams because you have all the star Wars people. I'm like trying to say something as possible who are going to be like the

guy who gave us the rise of Skywalker. That guy is going to be that, but he also gave for its week. It's like, yeah, you know, there was a lot of people who didn't like force awakens as well. I liked it personally.

I like it. That's a good take. It's a good way to get eyes on the podcast. It's again, that's why you're number one at YouTube. Kings of JJ. I love JJ Indiana Jones receives a very lukewarm five minute standing

ovation at the Cannes Film Festival unfortunately people hated it they only stood up and applauded for five minutes Clem I've told that to everyone how do you get a five minute lukewarm standing ovation I've told that to everyone. How do you get a five minute lukewarm

standing ovation? Like, how do you get a lukewarm standing ovation at all? But how do you get a five minute lukewarm standing ovation? It doesn't make any sense. The fucking French man, I don't get what the fuck their deal is. Like, just the absolute pits. I hate movie critics

so much. And it's actually a good thing for the movie is that a take the fact that it's a lukewarm five minute standing ovation is a good thing because i was going in with like after the spielberg i thought i was the only one who could make these lines i'm like this is gonna be the best indiana jones movie even though harris ford is a thousand years old, somehow, some way, a five minute standing ovation, excuse me, lukewarm standing ovation somehow lowered my expectations on the, on the Indiana Jones movie. So I feel like I am in a good place to see it mentally. I'm not going to be going in expecting a hundred percent Rotten Tomatoes. I'm not going

to be in going to expect, I mean, what do you think? What is a five minute lukewarm standing ovation get on Rotten Tomatoes? Like a 67? What does that I mean, what do you think? What is a five minute lukewarm standing ovation? Get a rotten tomatoes like a 67. What does that even mean? I do have the rotten tomato score. Currently, there's not a lot of reviews. There's only 14 reviews. So this is such a small sample size of,

I think film critics that were at can too. So I don't want to call them snobby, but if we're getting a snobby bunch, this might be it. Call them 43%. Snooty 43. Not not great but again 14 reviews it's like 14 people you know less than half of them thought it was a good movie but i think you brought up harrison ford's a thousand years old i think that's why the standing ovation

was only five minutes i think he was like i want to sit down and he just sat down and everyone followed him because they were like all right i And he just sat down and everyone followed him because they were like, all right, I guess he's sitting down for it. I saw a picture of him, though, or a video. He was crying his eyes out for the standing ovation. Was he? I mean, that's his baby. Does he feel the same way about Indy that he does about Han?

Or is he like, is Indy more his guy? Because that's him, right? Indy's more his guy, yeah. Indy's definitely like way more beloved in his heart. He was like okay with Han getting recast pretty much. And he actually had like kind words to say about the way that guy Alden Ehrenreich played him. Indy, he's like, he dies with me. He happened to be on at, I took AJ out for breakfast this morning at the bagel store.

And he was on TV being interviewed. And I'm like – you just tell, like – he's just like, come on, guys. It's God knows what time it is here, probably in Cannes. He's probably just so fucking tired. All right, Michael, how's it going? God, it's lukewarm. Do you think a lukewarm five-minute standing ovation, like if you're Harrison ford's age it probably feels like a real standing ovation right like he probably definitely probably felt like an hour and that's like the thing it can

or con however you fucking say it we're saying candies let's call it candies for now and fuck candies yeah candies um it's like a normal thing for films to get crazy standing ovations like i think clerks 2 got like a seven minute standing ovation. That movie blonde with Anna de Armas, which got horrible reviews, not at can, but at like a Venice film festival got a 14 minute standing ovation. I looked up with the longest ever standing ovation at canny's was, and it was Guillermo del Toro's pans.

Labyrinth 22 minutes for that. 22 minutes. That's like an episode of a TV show. It's longer. Commercials, you cut them out on Netflix, it's 21 minutes. So just imagine 22 minutes of this, Clem. Stay tuned. The next 22 minutes of the podcast

are going to be just this. You should just do a 22-minute ovation or now the lukewarm. Is it like is it less claps per minute? Is it do they reducing the amount of force they clap with? Is it the pop in the clap? Yeah, I'm not sure. Are they still smelling their farts during that five minutes because they're fucking movie critics? That's lukewarm. and like come on like all right so pan's labyrinth here i'm looking at the list here pan's labyrinth number one yeah i guess fahrenheit 9 11 20 minutes mud with matthew mcconaughey is 18 don't know that one it's a very decent movie mud i would say it's good actually

but like the third longest standing ovation ever no not that good but it's like so in your fahrenheit 9-11 which is obviously a thing you know about paul you know politics and shit there's a couple michael moore documentaries on there yeah yeah bowling for columbine is on there so i'm just gonna say this it's not an indiana jones crowd it's the other thing too no they're like the first they like i guarantee there's people in that crowd that watch that movie and went it's the first time they've ever heard that song because they've never watched an indiana jones movie before so i as someone that's got indiana jones later in life like it is a different movie than what you're probably expecting and they probably hear indiana

jones it's this american icon and you think you're getting this one movie you're getting like just a fun-ass action adventure movie with de-aged they probably didn't expect that they probably are anti-cgi well no they're oh yeah hands labyrinth oh labyrinth is super cg is it okay but like not that kind of this is ai it's ai i'm gonna no it was it was ai i i heard during the interview with harrison fortune they talked about it being AI. And these people, like the French, they're terrified of AI. What that means. Yeah, well, I think the French are super technologically advanced,

to be honest. Rob, it's candies. Fuck them. All right, fuck them. Let's shout out one of our favorite sponsors now, Factor. I absolutely love Factor. And in a move like this where everything has been hectic and you don't know what to grab from your fridge and bring over

um all right so we got a bunch of questions just like last week i put the call out for questions Tell him the king of YouTube sent you. Yes, my guy. Keep it going, baby. All right. So we got a bunch of questions. Just like last week, I put the call out for questions. And shout out to the basement boys and girls. We got a bunch of great ones this week that are going to cause for great discussion, I think. The first one, I don't mean to make things tense right now, Clem, but the first one is from Aaron Guzman. And he said, Honkers versus ZD could happen in the second round of the dozen tournament. Do you think the corrupt commissioner is trying to cause tension

between the basement boys, and do you all have plans for a friendly wager on that matchup? I think the wager should wait until if the matchup happens, but I think we should definitely do a wager on it. If the matchup happens, definitely. I think that would be fun for the podcast. Definitely. do think that the corrupt commissioner jeff d lowe and the d stands for dictator is trying to break the basement boys up i think he he feels that the king of youtube's the kings of youtube are rising and and he just can't control it and he's like

these guys are gonna be bigger than the dozen soon so i think he's trying to put us down in that way that is a great point robert that's a great point you know jeff he you know he handles a lot of this stuff a lot of topics we have a lot of overlay right a lot of meeting together between our the stuff we talk about and the stuff he talks about in lights camera barstool uh we already know you're now the biggest hater of dune f since he's the biggest lover of dune uh uh i mean it's flat out just out there doesn't rigged he took the fucking crown away from the honkers for no good reason and then coming with me and fucking me eddie and dave are just sitting around he's like well

let's make sure one of these guys aren't going out to chicago no matter what so yeah of course it's fucking jeff dictator well i'm not surprised i not surprised. I'm I'm I'm I'm upset, but I'm not surprised in the least. The bet will come if we are both blessed enough to make it to the second round. However, I also it would feel dumb making a bet and then one of us lose. And it's like, oh, damn. Yeah, exactly. And we have to, like, do double the punishment, I guess, if we don't make it. Yeah, I actually read the bracket wrong at first, too.

And I was reading the like the other person like under us. And I thought we were facing the winner of your mom and someone else. If we make it to the second round. And I was like, oh God damn it. I don't want to face those guys. Cause they went perfect against us. They put up the, the, they didn't question during the, their game against us. So it was something, and I don't want to face you.

I don't like facing KFC. Like you're my guys. I don't like, I don't like it at all i i personally like the honkers i like i like your team even more now we had you had let's see you had one guy that's a traitor trying to take food out of our mouths he's gone now you had another guy who tried to basically tank the stock uh so you've you had some bad apples on your team you won a championship but it's basically like the madden curse right now yeah jesus you get put on the honkers and and nate the other day was just walking around in mince's jersey by the way he's put on mint and like double xl he's just walking

around the office and i was like what are you doing i said i said i was in that day i go hey what's up man yeah i was like i saw a honker iker. I go, who's Jerk? I was like, oh, Jesus. You're a savage, man. He was like, it's a relic. It would be a problem at it, but you could sell that. I'm like, some sort of, I don't know if you still have that auction app. For Hawks for the cost. I like what you're thinking, Ravi.

I like what you're thinking. You got to sell that for Hawks for the cost. You know what? We're going to do an auction on the My Mom's Base. We're going to do a live YouTube auction, probably have millions of viewers. By the way, why the fuck are we not on the Barstool Sports YouTube by now? This better be uploaded on the Barstool Sports YouTube,

not the My Mom's. It should be on the main account, yeah. Which, by the way, has more than 40,000 subs. No fucking big deal. We're doing it all on our goddamn own. 50K is the goal by the end of the year by the way remember that i said at the beginning of the year that's still the goal so tell your friends tell your enemies subscribe to my mom's facebook exactly exactly but yeah we have to get some

sort of a bet there even though jeff is a no good good dirty scoundrel and i have to say this too i like i like both your fucking teammates i like gia i like. I like Clemmer. Man, I do not want to. It's not like I don't know. Who are you guys facing in the first round? The Booze Ponies, which is another very likable team. That's a likable team. And it is a wild card team, especially in person. I don't know what the hell they're going to have.

I know. They're going to be bringing props, probably drinking during the game or something. I don't know. We'll see about the Booze Ponies. But I think that's going to be very fun. Obviously, the game or something i don't know we'll see about the booze ponies but i think that's going to be very fun obviously tune into the dozen tournament three this is yeah third right yeah number three all right now to bring the vibes up after we talked about some strife our boy nathan hurst wrote in he said what fictional restaurant would you two love to have lunch at We did have a drink at a fictional restaurant, Moe's and Universal. Yep.

And you just did a fictional restaurant bar draft. I wrote down a couple. And you think cantina right away, right? Because it's like when we went to the cantina at Disney too. Yeah. But if, like you said in the draft, when we were talking about it afterwards, if this is something you actually want to go to, I don't think you want to go to the Mos Eisley Cantina.

It's the most wretched scum of hive and felony in the entire galaxy, right? So if that exists, I'm probably getting my arm cut off there. I'm getting robbed at the very least. I don't want any part of that. I've written down Lou's Cafe from Back to the Future, either the 50s version or the future version i think both are cool depends on what vibe you're looking for this one might be more me than you i don't know if you're parks and rec guy but jj's diner they always go to jj's

diner have these big looking waffles they just look awesome and then i wrote down dex's diner from attack of the Clones. Yeah, you got to have three diners, but I'm a guy from Jersey. You know, what do you expect? Yeah, those are all good ones. Again, yeah, the fictional bars and restaurants draft I did on the dog walk. If you want to hear, I was on with Uncle Chaps, and we did a whole thing of them. I basically drafted based on what I would want. Because, again, Clem, I can't believe you didn't draft Mos most icely that's what everyone on the panel was saying all the listeners and again

it's a fucking bad place a grito gets murdered they just keep going about their business motherfucker loses his arm just keep going about their business that is not a play look at me and robbie we are soft we are we have so much to lose as the kings of youtube we can't just be going around fucking to scary places. I'm going to put so it's, I'm going to choose one of the places. So I drafted Copacabana and Goodfellas just if we could get like the little back door entrance and feeling all VIP

like, oh, the kings of YouTube are coming. Watch out. If we get that entrance, I would choose the Copacabana, which, you know, and then he kissed me is playing. That would be great too. If not the bamboo lounge and Goodfellas, which is like the infamous, you know, funny house scene. And it's kind of like a lot of tiki themes which got us into our whole hibachi kind of talk on the podcast um i gotta take my guy bob bob your choice vesuvios or bada bing jersey guy you gotta choose one vesuvios badaada Bang I drive past all the time and it just it don't it don't look fun

it looks it looks like you know some sketchy figures go in there on a Tuesday afternoon you're like what are you doing if you opened your eyes and you just looked around you would be like I don't know if I'm in Mos Eisley yeah yeah I actually realized the other day a couple seasons ago when I was driving home from a Giants game there's like a strip club like within basically a walking distance stadium and I'm like man I can only imagine the shit that goes down here at like 530 on a Sunday during the

season after a game holy shit then third Stan McKean is Donuts from Reigns World I just watched that again on the plane pretty recently and it holds up and i mean just having uh al bundy he's just a great owner and the donuts here look delicious i think the basin boys you're a donut guy bob huge donut guy i love donuts yeah yeah so jersey shore has some good

ass donut places man yeah so uh me and bob could definitely crack open a few donuts number one favorite donut bob let. Let me hear it. I'm pretty basic, to be honest. I like the vanilla frosting with sprinkles, but I also love a glazed. I also love a s'mores donut. If a place does a s'mores donut, I'm buying it 100% of the time. Vanilla frosting, a little bit of chocolate drizzle, and then a graham cracker crumble on the top. That's my shit. I don't like any donuts with filling, though.

Any jelly filling, any Boston cream, I'm out on those. I'm a big filling guy. I'm a jelly donut guy. Boston cream a little less. I don't like the texture. That actually works perfect. You could have those in the box, and I could have the other ones. What kind of wing guy are you, flats or drumsticks?

We're going to have our own question right now. You're i'm a drumstick flat perfect perfect what's the worst i married a drumstick girl and the drumsticks are all gone within the first six wings and then it's nothing but flats left and i'm like i'm chivalrous to a point i'll give her like if there's five drumsticks she can have three but i'm fucking eating the drumstick. Like I got wings for the drumsticks. This is why, like, I think it was a, how I met your mother, which by the way, McLaren's is another great place. You could have a meal together, even though it's like a bar. That's, I think they say it's like,

you have to find someone that is, you know, the opposite of your wings. So then you can do that. So I already have it. I have it. But my, my, my king of YouTube right here is, is my hetero life mate as is. I'm with you on the vanilla frosting with the sprinkles.

That's my shit. I love a French crawler, though. I love me a French crawler. The fact that it kind of tastes like in the inside, it's almost like it's moist. It feels like there's almost like filling in there, but it's just the way that they cook it. It's tremendous. I think one of the Chicago guys, maybe carl is a french crawler guy so i i love the french crawler so i had to shout it out also i'm a big shop right donuts guy i feel like shop

right it does not get enough credit for how good their home baked donuts are i just wanted to shout them out i had someone told me recently about something at shop right they do really well and i had to go out i think they said like they make a great oatmeal raisin and i had to go out and buy it and i bought like a hundred of them and now i'm gonna have to go get their donuts to try them because robbie fox is great shop right it's a good fucking place shop right once the sponsor number one youtube podcast at bar school and the youtube uh exec size the can can't that would be like that's a game changer like but i'm telling you that'd be like hogan going from uh wwf to wcw stews would be like what the fuck hey man stews i i had people tell me stews was ready to get on board as an advertiser years ago and i don't know how we

didn't get them at any of my shows pod fathers would probably still be alive if uh if it was if it was around i don't know but yeah it would be i i have to think about that let me maybe just the donuts we can advertise from shop right we want to advertise the whole goddamn store because i'm still a stews guy through thick and thin this one is going to be an easy immediate answer for both of us in opposite directions um nolan cartwright street fighter versus mortal combat clem die hard street fighter guy die hard street fighter guy i have and i'm a mortal combat guy so i know we've talked about this before in the podcast but mortal combat's in the news this week so i figured it's worth bringing up i have a i

have my little like a shelf here with all my little figures and punkos and all that and ryu actually that has made the cut he's on there so ryu's my guy and street fighter is my game and i buy it basically on every system whenever i get a new system at some point it'll be on sale the street fighter 2 x amount of your anniversary i buy it play it twice and then forget it's on there and then i buy it on the next system so and you're a sub-zero guy mortal kombat which we both are sub-zero guys yeah and the new mortal kombat looks sick i kind of just wanted to bring this question up to talk about how sick the new trailer looks. It breaks my heart that I didn't like the last Mortal Kombat movie because I know a lot of people did.

The most recent one, I couldn't even make it through it. I was just like, oh, my God, I hated every moment of it. The fight scenes were OK, which there just wasn't enough of in a Mortal Kombat movie. The new trailer is another one of those things where it's a trailer for a video game that's better than the last movie that they put out man i forgot all about that movie because i remember blogging the uh the trailer for it and i remember there's like fatalities and shit and i was like oh this is gonna be sick and then i forgot it even existed and i'm i'm very bummed to hear now maybe i'll fuck around with it just throw it on in the background after the kids go to sleep i

don't think that one's gonna be good for the kids is it yeah is that a fair thing to say okay so also this trailer was the most violent bloody thing i've ever seen in my life the fatalities at the end were the coolest goriest fatalities maybe in mortal kombat history i love how you also threw out the hey we got to have it in the uh mortal kombat like tournament in the kfc bar still read in the kfc radio room which KFC barstool in the KFC radio room, which like, and they're like, yeah, we're rocking and rolling. It's like a basement now.

So I'm like, fuck it. Let's go hang out in there like it's a basement. The New York office, when like everyone goes, you know, all the traders go to Chicago and then we have just everyone here. Maybe KFC would just become like game time 2.0. We're just playing video games in KFC's house, basically, which is just- They got all the systems. They took all the systems from the game time 2.0 we're just playing video games in kfc's house basically

which is they got all the systems they took all the systems from the game time room they put them in there i was like all right if you're putting them in here i'm hanging out in here hell yeah um tom sinsley says i assume you're seeing blink 182 in the next two days because they're in new york three songs that you hope to hear that aren't one of the big tracks so they have like a set list i am seeing them tonight me and the n Nate dog are going to 182 MSG. I can't wait. I've talked about this on the podcast before, but I've had tickets to see blink four separate times.

And this is the fifth. It's finally happening. It's happening with Tom turnstile. One of my favorite bands is opening up for them. It's going to be amazing. Rico Bosco is going to be in the building. Chuck's going to be in the building. A bunch of guys from Barstool.

I kind of know what their set list is, but they've been changing around songs here and there. My favorite Blink song is probably Here's Your Letter. That's kind of a random one. Then I'll throw in like Easy Target because I love the untitled album and online songs from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, one of the greatest albums of all time. Also one of the greatest album titles of all time. album and online songs from take off your pants and jacket, take off your pants and jacket.

One of the greatest albums of all time. Also one of the greatest album titles of all time. Oh, a plus a plus plus title makes me laugh to this day, whatever I see it. So yeah, if you're listening to this today on the 19th and you're at blanket MSG tonight,

say what up to me and Nate, this one is fun from woo. That's the whole name. Woo. How many stones from the gauntlet Thanos have to lose before a prime Darth Vader could defeat him? Oh, good question. Good question.

That's what we're going with for this one. It's tough because he would have to lose the time stone. Take the time away right away. That's the first one. With the time stone you could pull a dormammu what dr strange did to him i don't know if you could defeat anyone with the time stone the reality stone in the space stone don't don't worry me too much yeah i agree with vader side the power stone doesn't really either i feel like vader could

probably pull that thing out of the gauntlet with the force or something if he wanted to the soul stone and the mind stone i don't know would he just have to lose the the time you think so right here we have the two this they're like the yellow and the orange whatever they are i don't i feel like the soul stone could be the most powerful of all i don't understand it right it's the hardest one to get which makes me think it must be the most like powerful that like in the video game that's like the last level yeah and like i feel like and again obviously you have to have all the stones together to make something like the snap possible but it's it's like it's that little spice you put in to the meal that makes it all it's the the the rug that times ties the

room together as the big lebowski yeah and it's like but i don't see him being like soul stone and then darth vader goes and he's hanging out with eight-year-old Gamora. It does feel like it's like that and maybe the Time Stone could just fuck shit up. But I guess if you kill if he kills Thanos he can't really do anything about time at that point, right? It's like...

But he could, like you said, with Dormammu. You're also saying this is Thanos basically getting all the stones and he hasn't read the instruction manual he doesn't really know how to use everything he hasn't basically gotten it all down the only thing is like

bum ass Obi-Wan kind of gave Vader a run for his money ooh remember how bummy Obi-Wan was during a lot of that during a lot of that season he was but then the final battle he did some pretty baller Remember how bummy Obi-Wan was during a lot of that season? He was, but then the final battle, he did some pretty baller shit with the rocks and everything, lifting the rocks, throwing them at Vader. I feel like Vader puts up a good fight if Thanos has all the stones but the time stone.

I'm going to say it. Thanos beats him without the glove on. Oh, no. Yep, yep. I'm going to say it. I'm just going to ride for my guy. Without the glove on. Oh, no. Yep, yep. I'm going to say it. I'm just going to ride for my guy. Without the glove on. Vader picks him up with the Force, throws him into the atmosphere,

and he's floating around for life. Vader wanted to do that with everyone. He just doesn't have it. He doesn't have the fucking will. He doesn't have the way. There's a reason why he's in a suit that's breathing for him. He just doesn't have it. It's all about...

And listen, I'm saying this is not 2014 Thanos. 2014 Thanos will get murked because he just sits around. He's lazy. He doesn't have the drive. I sound like a goddamn dad talking about their bum kid that's 19 years old

and just sitting in the basement. Get out of the house and get a goddamn job. But that's Thanos' biggest problem. It's like when he was motivated, granted, like a lot of his minions did a lot of his work, but when he actually got off

his ass off his shoulders, he went out and did stuff and took care of business the guy beat the hulk basically on his own now granted the hulk doesn't have fucking the force but i just i think it's a mental thing i think he's a titan i think he's half he's half a celestial right or something like he's some sort of yeah yeah i think he might be celestial and he's half eternal I don't know it's some some sort of crazy shit like that in his DNA so because of that I'm just gonna say prove it to me Vader

you fucking bitch I didn't see I didn't see me going here when I started this rant and I apologize I also feel like saying with the stones or without the stones from the gauntlet is weird with theater because as we saw a big part of fighting Thanos is just trying to get the glove off of him. And I feel like the Force can definitely do that.

I mean, I think Captain Marvel wasn't Captain Marvel, but when she's fighting against Thanos in Endgame, he just grabs one of the stones out of the glove and punches her with it. Why couldn't Vader do that with? I don't know. So I think Vader, I'm taking vader in the fight i'll take i'll take my guy thanos i will also say i did get a little loose with my with a lightsaber cutting off limbs i think he would cut off the gauntlet i don't know man big old purple i don't think he cut through that fucking jacked ass motherfucker he could cut through him he could cut through holy shit all three different words there

says dave thinks he can sell out madison square garden is that impossible for someone that's not a comedian or band definitely not for anyone that's not a comedian or band you see you know different kinds of shows do it all the time and one that i'd like to bring up is a wrestling show did it ring of honor and new japan pro wrestling sold that msg basically based on dave melter saying that they couldn't ring of honor new japan pro wrestling aren't the two biggest wrestling companies in the world they're not wwe you know but they put together a real campaign they had the young bucks and cody rhodes for a large portion of it and kenny omega who then weren't on the show because they went off and started aew but we've seen i mean aew just sold 60 000 tickets in wembley if you put together a true marketing campaign and you

really rally the whole fan base behind it i think that's very possible i think dave could absolutely sell out msg if Dolan were to rent it to him which Dolan probably would never do I think I think he definitely does it I've seen Dave gets we saw at Disney Dave couldn't walk five steps in Disney World without getting asked for pictures and trust me and when you're at Disneyland or Disney World you're not just looking around being like oh I'm looking for celebrities I'm looking for celebrities people just like yeah him instantly like he was in all walks of life old ladies young girls young guys old guys guys our age everyone like it was i've known dave for six years now however long we've worked at barstool disney was eye-opening in terms of like oh he's he's like a different level of fame now it's crazy

it's it and yeah he's reached another – he's reached another level. Obviously, it starts with Barstool. But then to some people, he was the day trader guy. To other people, he was the unboxing guy for like that time, a period of time. The pizza guy. Some people, he was just the COVID-saving business guy. Yeah. There's people who don't even know about all these other parts of him.

They just know the one thing is the pizza guy, the Barstool guy. If someone was – I guarantee someone would go, oh oh that guy is the guy who started barstool they'd be like he's my favorite guy and i think barstool is the worst place on earth like it'll break their brain and yeah you said it the first person i saw dave um interact with was during our dinner it was the like within 10 minutes after i got there and it was like an eight-year-old girl and he or an eight-year-old girl and she, or an eight-year-old girl. And she wanted him to sign it, her cast. So the, and then on the way out,

there was this group of like 15 to 20 middle-aged people. And they go like, Dave, we're a bunch of fucking Philly scumbags. Can you take a picture with us? So they get that group who like Dave constantly makes fun of and they love him for it. And then,

like you say, the old, the young, all, all walks of life we saw along the way. And that's in Orlando, Florida. This is the thing people aren't thinking about when they're also doing this if dave's like i'm doing this for one

night only it's going to be like i'm going to have like a roast i'm going to basically rip all these barstool people a lot of the people who are like always criticizing dave or being like fuck fortnight fuck barstool like our fans i'm saying not just like random people they'll also go to hear dave basically nuke everybody right and you know it you know, it'll be the Reddit boards. I can't believe you said this about blah, blah, blah. It's also what, like a four-hour drive from Boston. You're telling me people from Boston aren't going to go see Dave throw a live show? We have all these people.

We have all these live shows for all these different shows here that sell out. Dave is the fucking head honcho of everybody. He's the biggest guy there. I think if Dave announces this, like i think joe rogan reposts it immediately and he's like fuck yeah i love that dave is doing this i think burke kreischer reposted immediately i think tom segura reposts immediately all of these comedians and people that have sold out big arenas i think would be so thrilled with it i say that not based on nothing i say based on them bringing burke kreischer into the yak and being like do you think dave could do this and he was like abso-fucking-lutely dave is huge like in a in a heartbeat he sells

that msg i think the fact that they all like dave and the fact that he's outspoken and whatever i think they would all like support it and try to get him past the finish line as well i think it's no question he sells that msg it's if you if i i i and again maybe i'm the crazy one here because i think it's like a layup tell me dave can't sell 21 000 tickets in new york city to hear a night of him doing dave like he said pop punk has sold two three thousand tickets before you don't think dave could do a couple x that come on yeah el Country, this is the last question, then we'll go into our succession circle back. So if you don't want to be spoiled in the last episode of Succession,

get ready to turn the podcast off. We're going to talk spoilers in a minute. Succession spoiler alert. There's your sound effect. We'll have that for a couple more weeks. That's a scary sound bite. Elijah Country said, I loved when you guys could play your favorite songs at

the end of the podcast but since you can't do that anymore which is a fact we can't do that because copyright and stuff can you do a recommendation of the week and i was like oh that's a that's a good idea my recommendation this week will be the new album by hot mulligan hot mulligan is kind of the next big thing in pop punk. It's called Why Would I Watch? And the song that I'll recommend is called Shhh, Golf Is On. And they have a bunch of very bizarre song titles. And you kind of, some people will absolutely love the bizarre song titles, and some people will have to get past them.

I'm going to read a couple to you here, Clem. Shouldn't have a leg hole, but I do. No shoes in the coffee shop or socks. alive my toe damn it hurts cock party too better than the first smacked my head off and finally john the roxina can you smell what the undertaker well you sold me i'm in none none of these song titles have anything to do with any of the songs i don't know why they title the songs like that but hot mulligan they're the next big thing in pop punk uh so i i became a fan of um newfound glory because they would do all the movie show movie song covers and i don't know any newfound glory

songs and they're are they considered pop punk oh big time yeah so uh it's funny this is now my second favorite pop punk band behind a newfound glory and it's because of their song titles so i mean i like pop punk i always like um hey i'm keep going pop punk like your guy's fucking man pop punk i always i I've always liked the songs but I'm not like, there's not a band or I don't just listen to it nonstop. But god damn it, do I am I happy to have a second favorite? So what's your name? Hot Mulligan? Hot Mulligan, yeah.

Did you ever get into Blink back in the day? I liked all their songs that were like the music videos or on the radio. I always liked that. I didn't buy the CD even though Janine or whatever the porn star just absolute smoke show on there uh but yeah i i have no beef with blink at all i just like wasn't a diehard i think i was big into hip i was during the hip-hop phase but i also liked a

lot of rock too so yeah drag just wasn't in the cd buying phase of uh pop uh rock back then there's a lot of like random fans from the office that you wouldn't expect that are like blink fans like rico kfc like randomly like i saw a bunch of people tweeting about the reunion where i was like oh shit it makes sense they were fucking they were actually alive in the 90s when blink was at their peak i wasn't yeah it's it's awesome like again that's like my generation of people there in terms of bars now we have like the younger generation kind of your ages and stuff but that is much more mine which and yeah if someone if i what if someone was like if you're like hey clem uh thanks to game time we got you know a nice cheap last minute seats would you like to come with me to blankton i'd be like fuck yeah i'd

love to and i i probably would fall in love with a bunch of new songs and just love the whole atmosphere and the show of it it's just like it wasn't one of those things that i was you know i didn't have the cd i don't know all the words it wasn't one of those things that I was, you know, I didn't have the CD. I don't know all the words. It wouldn't be one of my niches in the dozen. I'll just say that. Yeah. My recommendation for the week. This is what I am listening to. So I have a new thing now. I've been, the Mets were really pissing me off the last couple of weeks. So I just go outside, nice weather, put my hammock out.

It's fucking beautiful. Casa de club. We have a hammock that we've had for a few years, sit outside on the hammock out it's fucking beautiful casa de clem we have a hammock uh that we've had for a few years sit outside on the hammock let the sun just bake on me and i'd listen to the mets games on the radio and then when the mets aren't on the radio because i can't watch them on i couldn't watch them on tv the pitching was so bad and once they're losing and the game's over i turn on the otis redding essentials it's an apple music playlist and it is so just fucking because when the mets are losing i'm in a bad place i'm in a sad place and i just throw that on and i mean his music's great but then when he's covering other songs he's doing well my girl he's doing you're like wait i know

this song and otis is covering it so just otis writing essentials had a little discussion about my uh i guess brother-in-law's parents so i don't think they're my technically my in-laws but they're like my sister's in-laws and his mom's like can you believe he made all that great music before he died at the age of 26 and i said what i had no idea what his writing died that young i figured he lived a long life and he had plenty of hits and plenty of years of just crushing the music game that's like a biggie situation you're like man we lost an entire prime of this guy it's craziness that's insane i had no idea it was 26 but i love otis reading myself change is gonna come his cover of that his uh i don't even know if that's i think that's a cover um sitting on the dock of the bay oh yeah so good i'm sitting on the dock of the bay

is like my just throw that on. It just puts me in the right mental mindset, whatever it may be. And he died. Plane crash. Tragic. I feel like it's not fair that Otis Redding isn't lumped in with the great artist we lost from a plane crash. Granted, there have been there. There's a good amount.

Skinner. Yeah. Fuck, man. You know, like Otis Redding. Terrible. actually granted there have been there there's a good amount yeah fuck man you know like oh it is writing terrible tell you who does a great cover of sitting on the dock of the bay sarah borealis everyone check that out all right we're throwing that one on next again i'm if you guys have great great songs that are covered by someone send all the recommendations my way like there's someone did a cover of a son of a preacher

man that i i tweeted about and so you have to listen to this cover of it tremendous it's a girl who does it absolutely crushes it so sarah borealis you said yeah she does that and on the same live album she does goodbye yellow brick road oh that was almost my recommendation for the week because it came in my head when i was thinking about the quantum mania because it's on disney plus and i almost watched it with the kids and I was like, do you guys want to watch this? They're like, no, I'm good. I didn't really watch it. Rob, I got a question for you.

Okay. What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss? What's the most I ever lost in a coin toss? Is this a lyric that I'm not getting? That's a line from No Country for Old Men, which I'm guessing you never saw. That's right. No, I have seen that in the gas station.

Yeah. Salt water. I loved it, but yeah. I got this coin today from the bagel store with AJ. It was given to me in my dollar change. I think it's a silver dollar. 1994. Great fucking year.

So I'm going to put this out to Twitter later, but you get the first dibs. Is there anything today that you're kind of like want to do maybe not want to do or don't really know what you want to do i will flip a coin for right now do you have anything in your mind right now that you it's a coin flip decision that you want to have like maybe you're gonna pizza for lunch or chinese like what are we doing here oh here here's a good one should i go to the office to edit this podcast or should i stay here to edit okay yes the office is uh tails office is tail so a young strapping i believe this is jfk right is he this little bit yeah it's jfk yeah i used to i used to uh take a sharpie on silver dollars and i used to

paint his uh mohawk because it kind of looks like a mohawk is comb over it does yeah it does oh excuse me this is a half dollar i don't know if he gave this to me as 50 cents or he gave this to me as a dollar. Nonetheless, I would have taken, it was $40 and change. I would have taken all $40 of this because I love having, I'm going to, after we're done, I'm going straight to the store and buying a bunch of scratch offs because I love scratching with a fresh coin. All right. Head is home.

Tails is the office. And I can flip a coin unlike my ZD brother, Eddie. Do you want me to flip it and just let it land? Or do you want flip, catch, slap on hand, and then it goes back? That's how we do it. Yeah, it's the best. Live reveal for the YouTubers. Going to the office.

It's the office. Going to the office. I had to go there anyway for a couple interviews. So this entire day, your entire day, thanks to old JFK here. Tales never fails. They say. Oh, one quick note here before we get to the succession circle back. Bought about $40 worth of old X-Men toys on eBay the other day for age.

Oh, so I can't wait to see him. You got to reveal him on the podcast when they arrive. I have two of them, three of them upstairs. And then the other four for agent oh so i can't wait to see him you got to reveal him on the podcast when they arrive i have i have two of them three of them upstairs and then the other four are coming today we got wolverine iceman mr sinister they came today and then archangel i had like i i needed certain figures so i bought only the lots that had it uh archangel magneto uh cyclops and there's like probably one or two other guys thrown in we got the first one and i almost didn't save them the reveal until they all came but i just left them out on the table the kid ran outside goes dad what are these and i was like your life has changed immediately

i was like aj who's your favorite guy this one wolverine diehard wolverine fan that's coming straight from my genes right there and so he's been playing just with Wolverine Iceman and Mr. Sinister and then this morning he's like dad can I see what these guys look like you know like on the screen so I threw on an X-Men cartoon season two first episode is Mr. Sinister when Morph comes back to life and is fucking everyone's shit up because they think he's dead and he's acting like Storm then he acts like Rogue and Mr. Sinister takes Cyclops and Jean Grey to obviously get their kid. Oh, just talking this X-Men stuff

got me so excited for the future X-Men movies. And I'm telling you, Bob, huge win. And I'll be honest, I bought these toys just as much for me as I did for him because just holding that Wolverine in my hand made me feel so good. So if parents out there, buy your kids some old toys on eBay.

I sprayed the shit out of it with hand sanitizer when it got home to just make sure there's no dirt on it. But it's the perfect way to relive your childhood. And, like, AJ, like, the first thing he did this morning when he woke up was go right to those toys and start playing with them again. That's awesome. I can't wait for X-Men 97 to come out. Oh, me too. But Succession, Succession Circleback.

I thought the last episode was awesome. We finally got the election. There's only two episodes left of Succession now, which is crazy. The funeral is going to be the next one. And then who knows about the calling it? Are we not calling it? That reminded me of a barstool calling all the States in 2016. That was like one of my first nights ever as an intern. I was in charge of like getting all the lighting equipment and stuff. Office manager, Brett will still say to this day that I like saved the day on getting all the lighting equipment and the cameras there. But I loved it.

It was a great episode for the con heads. Our guy Connor, given that speech, he liked the con heads are coming. He might just be the guy and Uruguay or whatever he said there. So many funny moments. The wasabi in the eye moment where Greg pours the lemon seltzer. He's like, it's LaCroix. It's LaCroix.

Um, that Greg doing Coke with Tom behind the board was insane. He's just like, do it with me. Did you fake doing Coke with Tom behind the board was insane. He's just like, do it with me. Did you fake doing Coke? Great episode. The Coke thing was like perfect. Like, especially like when you're a kid, like did you drink it or did you just put it in your mouth and spit it out?

Like, no, no, I really did it. It was the worst episode of all time. We were talking about our boy Khan did not win the election. It was the fucking democracy. The Republic of America took a fucking death blow. Our boy Khan did not win the election. It was the fucking democracy. The Republic of America took a fucking death blow. A fucking solar, to the solar, a blow to the solar plexus. Is that a thing?

Is that what it's called, Bob? Yeah, yeah. Solar plexus, yeah. Conor Roy, the man that was born to rule this country, had it conceived. The man had up to 4% to 5% in Alaska. Those fucking Eskimos know what they're doing. I don't know if I can say the E word. Those great people know what they're doing up there.

Kentucky, you had 1% of you actually knew what the fuck you were doing. The other 99% of you are a bunch of fucking bozos. You fucking ruined this country. The concession speech, the little thing, organize a little coup down in Peru, put me in a van to tajikistan couldn't i be our fun guy in uruguay uh just the absolute best what are they gonna um have lunch in venice and dinner in vienna uh yeah you know it was just a beautiful thing the most functional relationship in the whole show yes he's like the one person who doesn't think i'm a joke i'm gonna listen to her

and he's going about it our sweet queen willa the future first lady just an absolute delight and it it's kind of scary how much that did resemble our fictional or our joking like call the election and these guys are actually doing it for a program and it grants a fictional program but like an actual news organization our boy roman has gone he's he's gone anakin like he has the little orange in his eyes now i think our boy roman is gone uh i don't know what to make a kendall but definitely a fun episode and this is his whole family i think i think that's where it's all going he's already teasing you know he was talking with shiv about before everything exploded he was like thinking about being like the one guy like Like, what do you think about that?

Just me in charge. I think he's going to do that. And everyone in this family is going to hate him. And in the end, he's going to be like, well, fuck I'm Logan. Yeah.

And how many, he's really hammering home that I'm doing it for them, for the kids, the kids that never see him. Right. It's, it's always the Heisenberg at the end of that series too. Yeah.

It goes to Tyler in the last episode. He's like, I did it for me. Yep. I was good at the end of that series too yeah he goes to tyler in the last episode he's like i did it for me yep i was good at it i was good at it yeah oh there's such a good line i just want to watch the dark knight and breaking bad are the two things i always end up from this podcast being like i gotta watch that again really quickly my favorite movie my favorite show so very uh number one for. Those are number one for both? Oh, I had no idea. It depends on the day. It's always the Dark Knight Empire.

Like either one of those, I could watch any day, any time, throw it on and it would captivate me no matter how many times I see it. Yep. I'm going to get ahead of it too. The Shiv Wagon is in the repair shop right now for like the 17th time. We had smoke the check engine light's been on this then there's smoke coming out we fixed the smoke there's fucking like liquids leaking on stuff where liquid shouldn't be leaking but i'm riding with it i'm right hey listen i rode the brand wagon all the way to the fucking throne and that shit wasn't sunshine and rainbows the whole way there was times where it looked like he was gonna get fucking killed by like little finger at some point

so i'm riding with the shiv wagon until the wheels fall the wheels might have already fallen off so i'm riding with it until everything else falls off at this point mattson just being outed as like you know just a straight up phony and all this stuff and he's kind of like shaking in his boots a little i like seeing him getting a little shook when it's all said and done. This next episode is the funeral. So I'm very interested to see how this all plays out. And speaking of, like we said with the writer earlier,

I believe the person who's doing this episode has done like all the heavy hitter episodes, like a good chunk of them. And I saw the titles. I'm like, I don't really know. He did the wedding episode when, when Logan died. So that is a heavy duty fucking episode. He crushed that one. So I'm like, I don't really know. He did the wedding episode when Logan died.

Okay. So that is a heavy duty fucking episode. He crushed that one. So I'm like, oh, if that's the guy doing this one, we're in good hands. And then we have the finale after that 90 minute finale. So, man, I wish there had been a legitimate succession podcast here because I would have listened to a host of the shit out of it. It's a lot of fun to talk about.

Who's your, what do you think's gonna happen so you think kendall's gonna be um he loses the family but he could end up winning the quote-unquote ceo crown um and you think roman and shiv are just kind of left in the dust yeah i i think both of them are left in the dust i think tom and shiv wind up together in the end and they're just so unhappy and that's kind of like their fate or whatever. And I think Greg winds up in a very advantageous position under Kendall. I could see that. And the way he just threw my girl Shiv under the fucking bus and just slit her throat.

Oh, that motherfucker, the wasabi line and the wasabi stuff and then it's only a hint of lemon like just perfect great ridiculous and funny yeah what was that guy's name uh darwin like that poor guy darwin was just getting pushed around the ring i mean i've never seen a guy just get bamboozled by his employees in my life that was a tough look so i like i think dave has done that a couple of employees here at barstool with, Oh,

definitely. With Kendall and Tom. He reminded me of, I won't say their names because they're not content people. So I don't want to bring them up, but there's a few behind the scenes people that Dave has definitely like treated the exact same way that are not at barstool anymore either. They won't be going to the MSGg sold at msg show i'm

gonna just put no they'll be talked about though they'll be talked about it he'll bring them up he'll bring them up they'll be part of the presentation oh and again go ahead obviously connor's the president when it's all four years you have to wait four years but it's a time jump they say four years later later, and it's him giving his inauguration speech. Oh, they could actually do the five years later because then the inauguration is the next year. You could do the straight-up five years later. True, yeah. I was going to say I also want Dave to sell at MSG again because if he ever sells at MSG, I'm going to do everything in my power to have PubPunk open.

So I need to have this go through. That was my mom's basement for this week though thank you to everyone for tuning in next week we'll maybe have another episode like this maybe we'll have a more of a themed episode and if i see a blink tonight say what's up i can't wait
