Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3G. I am your host Robbie Fox, or am I? And this is my co-host Clem, or is it? Because we're here to talk about Secret Invasion, Episode 3. And I blogged this week, Clem, We might be the only ones talking about it. It's crazy. I know we said it last week.
Starting point is 00:00:27 We said it the week before, that this show is kind of being treated like a secret by everyone because nobody is mentioning the actual good show that Marvel's putting out. I've enjoyed all three episodes. I enjoyed Episode 3 a lot as well. It's a little more mature than most Marvel shows, but for whatever reason, it seems like they didn't view this
Starting point is 00:00:46 worthy of a marketing push or something. It's very weird considering how much Marvel stuff we've gotten shoved down our throats, in our eyeballs, in our ears. Think in my butt one time, that was a wild ride. Moon Knight, I think, was in every orifice of my body at some point, yet this one, yeah. And so it doesn't have the superhero vibe
Starting point is 00:01:07 with it right i understand that but like the acting is pretty fucking good right am i am i crazy to say that like it feels like it's a really good act really well acted show so it's like embrace what you have i guess at the same point they're fighting the fatigue by just acting like it doesn't exist all right whatever you guys say at disney you know you guys are the uh at the mouse for a reason i suppose but i don't get it man very weird and we're still we're still covering everybody the basic boys are just representing on fourth of july week no less and people are just taking off we have the best ofs rolling at a bar school people are just chilling by the beach. Me and Bob in the basement talking nerdy to you. Today's secret invasion recap is brought to you by 3G. Of all the things in life,

Listen, 4th of July week, we're here to talk about World War III kicking off on this Marvel show. I mean, what is there not to talk about here? But you mentioned the fatigue and I wanted to bring that up because in my blog, I even said,
Starting point is 00:03:29 generally, I took the superhero fatigue line and I threw it out the window. I didn't even really consider it seriously. I considered a bunch of baloney because you take movies like Across the Spider-Verse, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, The Batman last year. These movies break through not only with the audience, with the box office. They do super well if they're good movies. So I always viewed it as maybe the audience is fatigued of the same superhero movie over and over again. But if you do something different, they'll show up and they'll enjoy that. This is something super different.
Starting point is 00:03:54 It's something good. It's something that from the people that actually are reviewing it, are giving it good reviews, but the audience still isn't showing up. Everyone I talk to about it, I'm like, oh, Secret Invasion, you watch it on Disney Plus? They're like and i'll wait till it's all out maybe i'll check it out after that it's like calise's in it samuel l jackson's the fucking star ben mendelsohn's and
Starting point is 00:04:13 like what more i guess superheroes that's that's what more you could put into it like superheroes and superpowers is that what people are waiting for i don't know what the answer is i mean we've mentioned in the past we think the overall answer is less shows, more special presentations. If you did this as a special presentation, don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying it as a show. I'll be enjoying it for the next three weeks as well.
Starting point is 00:04:34 But maybe it would have gotten more buzz if it was just a quick, oh my God, paranoia consumed. We don't know who in the MCU is Skrulls now. They're trying to turn into superheroes. Secret Wars is set up. I don't know who in the mcu is scrolls now they're trying to turn into superheroes secret wars is set up i don't know what the answer is though i have a theory here i just thought of what if marvel is doing this on purpose they're slow playing the promotion and all this stuff and being like hey listen our fans are our dire fans they're gonna ride with us
Starting point is 00:05:00 they're gonna be there and the ones who are kind of on the fence they're not gonna show up we're not even gonna like beg them to come we're not gonna splatter it all over the place i was gonna say like run commercials but i feel like most people don't even like watch regular commercial tv anymore right and they're just gonna say and we're gonna change we're gonna have so like a couple of just absolutely massive things at the end of the show and everyone's gonna say holy fuck i can't believe i missed this live in Secret Invasion. And then they're going to have you hooked in for all the other stupid shows that they wheel out and all the other movies.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And you'll be like, I missed Secret Invasion. We had motherfucking Skrulls just flying everywhere, shooting lasers out of their eyes. How did this happen? And it's like, you have to just watch it. You can't miss a Marvel project anymore. So if that was kind of their way of going about this, I'll tip my cap to Feige.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I'll put on Kevin Feige's actual cap and then tip it to him. And if that's not the plan, you need to create a new plan really quick and put something together reshoot-wise to put the aerospace engineer Reed Richards in episode six. So you can get people back, which is apparently up in the air right now. We were told Adam Driver was basically signed on to play Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four, and now they're saying, no, no, there's a dispute about that. He might not be our Reed Richards anymore. Oh, I didn't know that, Bob.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Yeah, that whole thing is going to be an issue. I believe we do have our Sue Storm, and it's the woman from the last Mission Impossible movie who was really good. So we'll see about that before we get into secret invasion. I did want to mention something we briefly touched on, on last week's pod. We said,
Starting point is 00:06:33 Indiana Jones is coming out. We didn't know what kind of content we were going to do for it. If any, and based on the box office, I don't think people are begging us for company. Fortunately, Harrison's last time throwing the fedora on, it was a box office catastrophe, to say the least.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I think even worse than The Flash when you look at the budget and what it made back. But I saw it, and I fucking loved it. Like, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was a movie. Initially, I said they shouldn't even make, nobody wants to see 80-year-old Indiana Jones. Then I said, you know what? I'm on board.
Starting point is 00:07:05 As soon as I saw Harrison in the hat, in the costume, I was like, all right, I could get on for that. James Mangold, too. I had a lot of trust in with his previous projects. But man, I love like I don't know what people were talking about. It's not just the critics that can and everything. Kevin Smith didn't even like this movie. He went out and was like, really? Yeah. And he barely talks about movies if he doesn't like him but he was like it just wasn't
Starting point is 00:07:28 for me he was looking for i think admittedly more of a fan servicey movie he wanted them to time travel through all the movies but man everything about this i was smiling through the whole theater our theater was once again the toms river like old people community theater we were the youngest people there by 20 years and i heard people sniffling by the end of it i thought this movie was so badass it was everything i wanted out of dial of destiny like a send-off that was better than kingdom of the crystal skull way better even if you don't dig dial destiny i think it's like objectively much better than kingdom of the crystal skull. But I'm here to say, if you were on the fence about this movie and you are an Indiana Jones fan, I think it's very worth going to see in theaters because I mean, the John Williams score hooks you right away.
Starting point is 00:08:13 You kind of, you get that vibe right away. The de-aging stuff I thought looked really good. I've seen kind of back and forth stuff about whether or not people thought it looked good. It looks good. Harrison's voice is still the old man voice gotta sort of get past but the ending is crazy ambitious and they take a crazy swing that the
Starting point is 00:08:32 more i think about the more i love and yeah i'm kind of just i'm trying to put the word out that it is not the disaster that we were led to believe from can film festival that five minute pathetic standing ovation should have been 15. That five minute pathetic standing ovation. Should have been 15. The lukewarm standing ovation. Which I say is like basically a lukewarm hand job. Where the person doing it. And the person getting it.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Doesn't really want it. It's like we could go two ways here. Either don't do it. Or do something a little more fun. And you know exciting. And kind of just. I forgot all about that Bob. But that's good. Like my guy Bob Fox. If it was a Star Wars just, I forgot all about that, Bob. But that's good.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Like, my guy, Bob Fox, if it was a Star Wars movie, I'd be like, all right, Bob. You have the blinders on. You're a Star Wars. But this is indie. Now, I have to say, when you hear that song, when you hear that song, when you hear the song, it's good. Like, just every time they're seeing his dragon, they can throw that on. I'd probably like it. I have not seen the movie yet.
Starting point is 00:09:23 But I'm definitely, like, I'm excited based on what you said. I saw Castellani saw it as well. And I think he said like, he didn't love it, but he didn't hate it by any means. He just said it was kind of like, it was, you know, good. And if you want to say goodbye to Indy, that's the perfect way to say goodbye to Indy. Now I didn't watch Indiana Jones as a kid. I just like missed it. And I watched it later in life and I liked it. I think for nostalgic people that grew up loving Indiana Jones, I feel like you have to see it. Like, why wouldn't you see you put it in all that time,
Starting point is 00:09:51 not just watching the movies, but talking about them, probably rewatching a million times. And I saw Castellani. He had three reasons why he thought it didn't work. And he said, no one gives a shit about Indiana Jones anymore, which a younger generation,
Starting point is 00:10:04 it's kind of like it's been a weird gap right it's like they had all those movies way back when huge gap then they had which is his number two point the last film wasn't very well received so it's like oh the sequel to kristen's skull kingdom whatever the fuck that is don't care about that and then like you know just enough kind of speed bumps in the road through the Rotten Tomatoes scores at first, five-minute lukewarm standing ovation, which is still like an oxymoron the more you say it.
Starting point is 00:10:33 And, you know, just kind of like a mad vibe with the movie theater these days. So it's a bummer, man. I'm sad for Indy. I'm sad for boy Harrison. And like, I'm sad for Indiana Jones fans that he kind of just went out like a chump here, man. That's not cool. No, no. I think when it hits streaming and stuff, it's going to have more of a like people getting of adventure movies recently with like jungle cruise,
Starting point is 00:11:05 the Jumanji type movies, even like that shitty red notice movie, which wasn't very good. It at least had that adventure movie vibe. This was what those are trying to be in my mind. Like this was had the vibe of an Indiana Jones movie, but also had a little bit of like pirates of the Caribbean to me where it's like,
Starting point is 00:11:24 Oh, it's just fun. Every scene moves, every scene rips. I mean, I will say there's a lot of car chases and I know you're not a car chase guy. So you like that you'll have to get past,
Starting point is 00:11:33 but I think it's worth saying. I think it's worth making up your own mind on and Harrison Ford's performance is just fucking awesome. He punches a lot of Nazis in the movie that will get you past a lot of that. That's how they should have sold the movie. We beat punches a lot of Nazis in the movie. That will get you past a lot of that. That's how they should have sold the movie. We beat up a lot of Nazis. I would have watched it on the opening weekend. It's like, yeah, I want to see some Nazis get their ass
Starting point is 00:11:52 kicked. Hey, I'll sell it on this. I think the highest body count in any Indiana Jones movie. Wow, really? People are getting shot and dying left and like innocent civilians, Nazis, good guys, bad guys. People are just getting shot And killed in this movie
Starting point is 00:12:07 Did Indy go heel and now he's shooting Innocent civilians? Is that what you're telling me? That would be a twist Now that would have been a twist If Indy the whole time, he rips off his Fucking like shirt and underneath he has like A Nazi symbol, like oh my god It was Indy was the third man
Starting point is 00:12:23 That would have been a great twist for Mangle. People would still not be as upset as they were with Luke's treating in The Last Jedi. That's fair. That's a fair point. That's a fair point. For doing spoiler-free reviews, can I do a spoiler-free review on something?
Starting point is 00:12:39 Oh, yeah. Please. So my wife and I binged The Bear Season 2. And Bob, I'm obsessed. I really liked the bear season one. Rico and Dante both blogged a review of season one, like within 10 minutes of each other. I think last year, it was the weirdest thing that I see two fucking things come in at the same time. The same show. It was the weirdest thing.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I think it got picked up. So it both got their like gears moving. And I was like, you know, I'm going to give this show a shot. And I liked it. I liked it a lot. It's about a kind of hole in the wall sandwich shop in Chicago for people who haven't seen it yet. And it gives you a kind of a background of running a restaurant business. And the characters are all very unique and fun.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Season two. You get a little bit of that, but you also, I don't want to give away what happened in season one, people haven't seen it at all. But the growth of the show, the characters, the plot, everything, it becomes this fucking like unbelievable show that is just living in my brain. And I don't know if you've seen any of the tweets
Starting point is 00:13:41 that have been going around. I am not alone in this take. It's fucking awesome. I've been like searching out TV podcasts to like hear people talk about it. Cause I just loved it so much. And my wife was kind of in the same boat. There's, there's one episode.
Starting point is 00:13:53 A lot of people are talking about, but there's really two that are just fucking, it could happen about moving through the season that are just like, holy shit. And then the show just takes off from there. And they're like, the show does change directions a few times in a good way through the first two seasons. So I fucking loved it.
Starting point is 00:14:09 And I cannot sing enough praises about The Bear. The biggest problem with The Bear is it's one of those shows. It's an FX show presented by Hulu or a Hulu show presented by FX. So I go on FX as an old man looking for it. And they never even put it there this year. And it's just on Hulu. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on right now?
Starting point is 00:14:27 Like if, if I can't figure it out, like my parents, sure. It ain't going to figure it out. So that was my only beef with the bear, but it's an absolute. Your only beef with the bear.
Starting point is 00:14:37 That's good. Oh, that's good. I walk into my good puns completely by mistake. That's the point of life. I'm at right now. So I asked you a few times, like, yo, Robbie, did you watch the Barry Lyckoff episode one so far?
Starting point is 00:14:49 Like, Robbie, yep, you watch Barry Lyckoff episode one. And that was just me being like, I just got to talk to someone about this right now. And I was looking to talk to my boy. Here's the issue. You might see a different background. I'm at my mom's for the 4th of July holiday with my sister and her husband.
Starting point is 00:15:02 They have not caught up yet. So we already watched episode one. We were like, do we rewatch episode one with them so we can continue? Or do we just wait till they go to bed, watch episode two. So we're kind of in that limbo, but I loved season one of the bear as well. I'm really excited for season two. My brother who is pretty harsh critic when it comes to movies and TV texted me and was like, dude, the episode everyone's talking about,
Starting point is 00:15:24 I think it's episode six. He's like truly one of the greatest episodes of television I've ever watched. And then everyone said the episode after that, I think. Seven. That's the one, again, where everyone is that the Christmas one or one of them is a Christmas one, right? Yep. Seven fishes and forks. Those are the two back to back.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I won't give away anything in terms of, but one of them has to do with Christmas. The other one has to do with fucking porcs. And it's- It's gotta be good for everyone to be raving about it in July as well. Like, fourth of July weekend, I cannot stop hearing about this goddamn Christmas episode. And like, this is why I really, truly hate the binge model.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Because if everyone watched episode one together, we would have episode two. And most importantly, I could just start firing off memes. Once it's live everyone watched episode one together we would have episode two and most importantly i could just start firing off memes once it's live i guess there's i have so many memes i'm up to my eyeballs in memes in my head i got threads now i'm trying to get some fucking we're on threads we were like the first two on threads you me and brendan clancy which is always a good sign when you're early with him yeah i saw him right let's go and i was on i was like oh shit bc's already on this of course he is and he's tweeted out the meme of me you're doing with him. Yep, I saw him write, let's go. And I was like, oh shit, BC's already on this. Of course he is.
Starting point is 00:16:25 And he's tweeted out the meme of me, you doing the NWL. I was like, as long as I got my Bob, my guy Bob with me on threads, it's all that matters. I'll ride or die. So yeah, there's a lot of great potential in this show. If you haven't watched it, give it a shot the first season, episode one or two. And then I'm telling you, if you liked season one,
Starting point is 00:16:44 season two gets so much better. And it's like, you think it's going one way. It just, ah, it's just fucking great TV, dude. I just love great TV. I'll try to binge it by our next episode. Maybe we could talk about it. Maybe we could throw on like a, the bear circle back.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Kind of like we did succession. I like that. I like that. All right. Before we get into secret invasion, episode three, let's tell everyone about Factor.

Starting point is 00:18:34 order some factor, put some food in all of their mouths. It might not be, you know, the stuff from their home planet, but there'll be like, Oh man, this is even better. Next best thing. Those dudes, they'll be putting some extra sugar on them and they love sugar oh my god that was crazy for a second i thought it was salt and i was like oh frank would get along with these guys but it was sugar and then they say a little cappuccino in the sugar i like a little i like my i like my uh sugar with a little bit of espresso that's a classic dad line my dad always always used to, like, you put too much
Starting point is 00:19:05 ketchup on something, you want some fries with that ketchup? That's a big dad line. And also, I did say Frank is a Skrull. Hey, I'm a motherfucking Skrull. We had a fucking problem with... Someone needs to clip out that scene and put like, at NJ Tank with
Starting point is 00:19:21 salt. He would love it. I guarantee he'd love it. Yeah guarantee he'd love it. Yeah. The old Frank laugh. Unless you say something like, you know, when Steve Cohen, when he said, hey, I'll be doing a press conference tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Someone in the office said to Frank, oh, imagine they let you into that thing. He let out the most evil, skeletoresque laugh I've ever heard. He was like. So, yeah, he could get evil with that laugh he's a scroll he's a scroll let's stop laughing about it frank is a scroll let's just embrace it and we'll move on we get into the new scrollos recruits right away this episode with beto i think he was the one that was the main Skrull getting his mission to go to the Royal Navy,
Starting point is 00:20:08 execute a strike on a UN target, maybe second-guessing himself a little bit. He's asking about, you know, why are we doing this? And they're like, it's about the faith in the future. It's not about what we've done in the past and whatnot. And then we see Gravik show the machine, that giant machine
Starting point is 00:20:24 underground that Amelia Clark was checking out to the scroll council, including shooter McGavin. He wants to create super scrolls and he tells all of them, this is not just about us assuming identities anymore. We want the power. So the mission is to start world war three, get the humans occupied with that and then take it out, exterminate them. And when he said super scrolls that got the blood flowing a little bit for me because we know as nerds it's eventually going to lead to the secret wars type thing or at least we think it'll lead to avengers secret wars where we got half the superheroes or scrolls and they're fighting each other and they got powers and all that so
Starting point is 00:20:59 good intro to this episode definitely nice to mention Super Scrolls with like 90 seconds into the episode to really like make us perked up the whole time. So my note here, Super Scrolls is a plus, plus, plus, plus, plus marketing. That is as good a job as you're going to get. It gets the blood moving and lets you kind of gives the scrolls a little bit more like street credit. My time to say, oh, you got some super scrolls and our guy heavy spoilers pointed it out in his uh recap of this episode that i believe it was like one of the first fantastic fours the super scroll comes in and he has the four powers of the fantastic four and if you notice the previous episode on um secret invasion here the four powers that they our girl amelia is looking at at the computer
Starting point is 00:21:46 are all kind of like there's uh the obsidian guy he's like strong he's kind of like thing groot has the uh like stretchiness stretchiness fantastic yeah i think you may have obviously a fire guy i don't know if you have invisible or whatever but i think it is kind of adding up to be a similar uh super scroll big boss you know final boss guy i've grabbed of adding up to be a similar Super Scroll, big boss, you know, final boss guy. I've grabbed it because I managed to be the guy. And it's like, oh shit. So they're going to do that without having the goddamn Fantastic Four.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Again, Bob, you said it and I have to just say it again. We had the engineer mentioned in WandaVision. We have been led astray, run amok, flat out deceived by Marvel through the last three years i've been waiting for mephisto's ass to show up just give us the goddamn fantastic four or at least just say a name or do something you don't have to put an actor in since you're apparently dealing with this shit but i need a payoff pretty soon i need like i need a little bit of love here man and like you know or one contact into the marvel cinematic universe is
Starting point is 00:22:45 our guy michael waldron and he kind of did that for us but he just turned him at the spaghetti in the first 10 seconds of him being on screen he was like hey i'll give you a fantastic four you're like i'm just fucking with you i'm taking him back so what the hell man uh then we go to new york city in 1998 that is my birth year clem nick Fury goes into a diner to meet someone and it's being sneaky right away who you here to meet I'm here to meet someone oh what do they look like depends on the week it winds up being his current wife Vara and I thought the de-aging in this scene was really well done to the point where I couldn't tell that there was de-aging and then when they cut to present day I was like oh shit they looked pretty young in that last scene so whatever marvel's doing they got to
Starting point is 00:23:29 figure it out yeah they're crushing it right like that that shit is is very cool i i do wish though as someone that was not born in 19 very much not born in 1998 very much alive for a very long time at that point uh driving at that point that hurts i wish we had a couple more like give me a little bit of nostalgia give me the tickling nostalgia bone a little bit here marvel that was like a big uh push like a song back in the background or something like that like in captain marvel they had blockbuster video something like that and you're gonna have me again as one of like the 16 people that's actually watching the show right now you can make me and
Starting point is 00:24:05 all the other fellow olds happy what were you up to in 98 you think if this is just a random night in 98 what are what is clem most likely to be doing i am playing madden listening to like let's see 98 i'm probably still listening like some old tupac and Biggie, have Madden on mute, and just playing seasons and stuff like that. I make my way into the AIM chat room sometimes. I'm Clem. Sometimes I'm a young lady, whatever. I feel like... Sometimes you're a Skrull,
Starting point is 00:24:36 basically. I'm basically a real-life Skrull. That's what KFC used to always say. People would be acting... You thought you were talking to someone in a chat room that was like a 25-year-old chick it's like no it was just a bunch of dudes acting like 12 year old boys yeah actually i've told this story on pod fathers this is the only time i ever acted like someone else on um on aol i have no clue why i did it i said I was Tony Buscelli to people in a chat room once I have no idea why I did it now Robbie you're gonna say who's Tony Buscelli because you're not a huge NFL fan yeah no I don't know who
Starting point is 00:25:14 that is and you know what even relatively big NFL fans may not know who Tony Buscelli is he was the left tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars I believe he was the number one pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars I don't know why I decided to be Tony Buscelli one day. I think I just was trying to fuck with people. And yeah, and people believe me. And then I had one day a guy, like whatever it was called, IMs me. Hey, Tony, what's up? And I'm like, no, this isn't Tony.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Like, no, no, Tony, Tony, I talked to you in like the channel the other day. My dad's name is Tony. I thought someone was looking for my dad. Didn't think he thought I was Tony Buscelli. Classic mix-up. Classic Skrull mix-up by me there, acting like, so this Skrull secret invasion, we've been doing this shit since the internet was a thing.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Yeah, that's who you would go for. If you were from Skrullos, you came over to Earth, had to assume an identity, Clem would be Tony Buscelli. Tony Buscelli. And trust me, Uncle Chaps really appreciated that as a diehard Jaguars fan. He looked at Moonlit as a fake Tony Buscelli back in the day. That's too funny. We learn something new about Clem every week on this show.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Tony Buscelli, the fake Tony. All right. Someone actually cosplayed me in Rudy's Twitch chat the other day. Did I tell you about this? No. I was walking past Rudy, and I love Rudy, and he said, hey, thanks for hopping in the stream last night. And, like, I was so mind-fucked by that. I was like, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:26:37 He's like, thanks for hopping in the stream. It helped me out. And I was like, how much weed did I smoke last night? What is he talking about? I said, I don't know what you're talking about right now he's like we talked for like two hours last night dude somebody cosplayed me in rudy's chat while he was playing video games to be a nice guy and help him out like he wasn't fucking with him he apparently helped rudy with a bunch of puzzles that he was working on he's like you really helped me out and i was like that wasn't me so someone
Starting point is 00:27:04 scrolled me so yeah there are good scrolls in this world that will help you with video games right not everyone's trying to start world war three uh yeah he was the he was the talos which i found out this week i've been saying talos the whole time apparently it's talos talos swift the errors tour okay good too okay and that's how i'm gonna to remember it. Because I had a question in my notes. Is it definitely Talos? Or is there, have some people said Talos in the show and it can go whatever? I think you were just saying Talos and I just followed you. I think it was like Han and Han in Star Wars. It's like you hear it once and you just start going with one or the other.
Starting point is 00:27:40 So we go to present day. Fury's making some breakfast. Him and Vara have a very serious discussion about him being gone, not only for his time on the space station, but he was gone in the blip. So he got blipped away. She's like, I grieved you every night, cried on your pillow every night. And then eventually you come back and then you voluntarily go up to the space station. And he's saying, you know, who have you who have you turned into while I've been gone in my absence? Have you been in touch with Gravik? When he asked that, I was like, how do they know each other? Is Gravik, could Gravik possibly be her son? And it's kind of Nick Fury's stepson. Is there a familial thing? The way he acts just seemed like it could be family in some way.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And she tells him, in your absence, i became who i used to be because that's what i had to do it's like oh bugs bunny oh lord don't make me go back to the old me uh and she takes a phone call he's very curious about it she's like oh i don't have that intel at this time all right see you later click and he's like was that important she's like nope not at all walks out of the room la-di-da-di-da it that was fishy. Listen, I don't know if that was graphic, but I'm going to assume that was graphic. Sus. That is what that word was, Rob.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Sus. And at this point, it was so sus. I'm like, is she just fucking with him and being like, yeah, so like you'll think twice before you head up to the space station and leave your wife behind here in the middle of a goddamn war. I did not like that. I don't like. On the other end of the phone line, it was like, you're automated car insurances. And she's like, like that i don't like the phone line it was like
Starting point is 00:29:05 your automated car insurances and she's like oh i don't have that information right now click i don't know who could have been nick don't know who could have been the last i mean we leave these two last episode and otis redding's playing i'm thinking we're gonna get a little skull scroll fuckery going on here and now we have like mind games cell phones just be and how we watch this with sienna sienna goes don't you open that phone nick fury she wanted no privacy she draws the line of privacy i mean i'm gonna have to worry about like i'll be monitoring the shit i will be watching everything sienna does on all her social medias and stuff when she has this until basically she is like i legally can no longer do it i'm
Starting point is 00:29:45 hoping we have laws that will allow me to do it for the rest of her life i didn't know if she's talking to some fake tony basselli on there you know also you got to be very very astute with phones in marvel cinematic universe bar is not rocking an iphone yes and we know apple only allows iphones with good guys so maybe marvel's just saying hey we're gonna muddy the waters and you're not gonna see a lot of iphones anymore or maybe she's not a good guy i don't know she's a bad dude yeah it's kind of like the the low-key way to figure out if someone's good or bad and i did love how it was like um it was like a game boy color too it was like a flip phone but it wasn't like a flip phone it was very very odd and again it's kind of like the scrolls haven't evolved technologically since when they came here.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Kind of like with those computers and then with the flip phone. And our boy Nick Fury. What a lot. I don't golf, so think about taking up revenge. I'm like, again, we just have Samuel L. Jackson just dropping, you know, Samuel L. Jackson lines left and right here. Jules Winfield is fucking a SHIELD agentI.E.L.D. agent now. It's incredible. We got a scene later on, and we'll get to it,
Starting point is 00:30:49 where my note is, Bob talks shit on Talos until Fury turns into Jules again. But he literally has a scene every episode where he's like, all right, let me go Pulp Fiction on him here. And the director's like, all right, we want to see it. And I do appreciate it. I do appreciate it. So Gravik confronts Gaia
Starting point is 00:31:07 about Brogan's confession last week, the torture scene. And he's like, how did he confess to stuff that he didn't know? And Gaia gives a very sus response to him.
Starting point is 00:31:17 She goes, you know, he could know all that stuff. He made an educated guess. By the way, I'm a really good liar and it's like what well why would you tell him that right after you lied to him clearly i don't know but then she goes and in the car ride starts texting her dad some intel talos we find out later she
Starting point is 00:31:37 is the spy she's texting him some stuff and gravic in the car is like, Alo's called me for a parlay about Gaia. He kept using this parlay, parlay. I just kept thinking parlay, like Barstool Sportsbook parlay. I never heard this word used so many times. Sounds like it was just a meeting. Is that what he was calling? So I have a note in here. First of all, I would love if they were talking about talking parlay responsibly in the Barstool Sportsbook app,
Starting point is 00:32:02 maybe get a little three-team parlay, six to one. Wouldn't you just love that if they're just like, all right, taking the Mets. The Scrolls love gambling. We got to start World War III, but this is fun. White Sox under, and I would love it. So I took this, which I'm shocked you didn't pick up on this or think of this.
Starting point is 00:32:22 We're talking parlay. We're talking a little bit of Captain Jack in Pirates of the caribbean here we're talking about a little negotiation going on and i forget the exact specifics is it a pirate term i believe i don't know if it started with the pirates but i do believe they did adopt it and i'll tell you bob i absolutely love when they talk parlay and fucking pirates of the caribbean i don't know i guess it's like if you say parlay you can't just like slit the dude's throat. It's like an honor system kind of thing, but I always just loved it. And I, I, I think I'd like presented some talking parlay to my wife back then.
Starting point is 00:32:54 All right, let's talk parlay right now, honey. I'll go to, you know, the Backstreet Boys concert with you. If I can then go with the fellas to, you know, our baseball trip next month. So I'm all, I'm all about talking parlay. I'll call Portnoy up right now and talk parlay for a little bit, see what we can get out of him. By the way, I saw Dave tweeted that he's not interested in being on Threads, the new app.
Starting point is 00:33:14 He's like, I reserve the right to change my mind, but I'm not interested in this. So I've taken it upon myself. I'm just going to screenshot all his tweets and post them on Threads, and I'll be the Dave Portnoy reporter, like NY Post. That's brilliant. That's brilliant that's brilliant i was actually i love we were both in thinking like devious like this i was thinking about just
Starting point is 00:33:31 um changing my name and everything to act like i was dave portnoy to get the followers up yes exactly i'm a scroll i'm just a scroll apparently i'm learning i'm a scroll live on this podcast right now yeah if you clicked on episode, you will have already seen the thumbnail, but I'm definitely editing you as green with ears on this thumbnail. So they go have their parlay at an art museum. Great spot for a hero and a villain to meet in any movie, TV show or whatever. Oh, art museum where they, I'm sure, are breaking down that painting that's gonna
Starting point is 00:34:05 you know symbolize what the whole show represents all that stuff and talos gets handsy when they sit down he like grabs them because uh gaia gets mentioned he's like don't ever mention my daughter yeah you don't you don't say the g word so he gets handsy and everyone around Gravik turns into Gravik. And we saw this scene in the trailer. I wish we didn't because it's such a cool, oh, fuck, you're in trouble moment of like, don't even try anything. Literally all of these people. It's like the Joe Schmo show over here. You're the only one not in on this here.
Starting point is 00:34:39 And eventually threatens to out Gravik to everyone. He's like, I'm going to tell everyone who's attacking them. So it's not just World War III and the humans don't know what's happening. Gravik says, you'll be responsible for the downfall of our entire civilization. And eventually gets stabbed right in the hand and pulls his hand out of it. There's a scene kind of like that in John Wick 4. I don't want to spoil it because you haven't seen it yet. But as soon as he pulled his hand out of that and you see it regenerate,
Starting point is 00:35:05 another one of those kind of mature Marvel scenes where I was like, Ooh, it was kind of nasty. Cool, cool parlay scene though. I would say this was probably my favorite scene in the episode. I thought you were going to say, I think this is probably my favorite parlay scene of all time.
Starting point is 00:35:21 This is top five parlay scenes. Talos. Badass as hell, man. He goes at him, like you said, gets handsy. He's a good dad, yeah. Yep. Even though he knows he's surrounded by Skrulls that have bad intentions with him potentially, he's still riding or dying for his daughter.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And that fucking, the knife and hand trick is such a great move. Luca Brasi, that's what they do to Luca Brasi in Godfather. I'll be honest with you, Bob. I think I might do that one day. If I'm ever kind of just – You might put a knife in someone's hand.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I might put a knife in someone's hand. Yeah, I think I might. Someone says the wrong thing about your daughter. Yes, yes, yes. I will – it will probably be AJ. I'll be doing it to my own son. It'll be our next trip to medieval times. Like something's going to go wrong, and you're accidentally going to put a sword into someone's hand, I'll be doing it to my own son. It'll be our next trip to medieval times.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Something's going to go wrong, and you're accidentally going to put a sword into someone's hand, and it's going to be like Ace Ventura when they put the spikes in his legs. He'll be like, ah! And I'll tell you, after this scene, Bob, we said last episode, or I think the first episode, we are Ben Mendelsohn guys. We are ride or die for him,
Starting point is 00:36:24 and if he does something problematic we have to defend him this scene I'm thousand percent in now I'm straight up like I'm also praying to God he doesn't make us have to do that but I'm ready to ride for this fucking dude because that was just a great scene also those paintings I don't know I love
Starting point is 00:36:40 like history and shit like that you see Churchill there but that was a great line I'd rather be you know have my like history written in blood than in oil and uh paint or whatever yeah very oil and ink yeah very cool shit i thought that was uh he said every every show or every thriller should have like a meeting in a museum and they talk like against the painting as they go through it yeah and i think the actor's name is like ben kingsley adir or something he's also playing bob marley in an upcoming biopic the trailer came out today i watched the trailer i've got to tell you this guy's a great actor because
Starting point is 00:37:16 i did not see gravic for a second in the bob marley trailer i was like oh my god he completely transformed himself well i did not realize that was his name. It's Kingsley Ben. Cause Ben Kingsley is a famous actor as well. That's right. I go to his Wikipedia Kingsley Benadier. And then the first line, it's not even the first line of his bio.
Starting point is 00:37:38 It's above his bio in italics, not to be confused with Ben Kingsley. That's incredible. But I didn't realize he's going to be Bob Mar hey man you you get uh cool that's a big time fucking role right there hopefully they don't fuck that up you know not that it would be his fault but just in general biopics you never want people to fuck up like a legendary for especially for such a music fan a musician like that it's saying here he's ken and barbie does he play one well there's a bunch of kens you know there's there are a bunch of kens and spoiler we've made it this far without
Starting point is 00:38:13 spoiling anything you know we didn't spoil the bear we didn't spoil indiana jones and i just spoiled barbie we have one two three four john cena's a merd man ken what oh i don't know john cena was in it you want me to keep fucking spoiling it bob i'll give you some more right he's one of them yeah uh i yeah i don't know who that i don't know his um name sky blue yep yep we have scott andrew evans whoever that is one life to live and then oh michael cera is not He is Alan. I don't know if that's Ken's brother or something. So, yeah. By the way, Oppenheimer, that is the most forward I think I've looked to a movie this year other than Guardians.
Starting point is 00:38:54 This is, I'm stoked for that. I'm seeing an IMAX. I even hit up Large. If you want to come, too, we're going to go to the NeuroShall IMAX. And we're going to watch it in the proper, like, you know, format. Oh, man. Let's go get bombed. Let's go get bombed let's go get bombed i oh my god bob my exact last last text my so oh no i my last text message a lot he's like i'm um
Starting point is 00:39:15 large goes i'm in i go boom in parentheses atomic bomb joke sorry if it's offense and he goes too soon you you are there, man. All you need to do is actually produce a kid, but the dad jokes are strong with this one right here. Well, I told you I got faith now, so I'm a dog dad and the dad joke is ripping now. Nick Fury goes into a bar to ask Talos for help. Also, Talos, or Talos. Talos.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Talos. Talos bumps into someone on his way out, drops the phone, classic situation like that and you see the guy on a phone later the same guy you see in the background my guy heavy spoilers pointed that out to me i would have missed it that is gonna pay off later right like that didn't pay off in this episode did it i was thinking did i miss something so what happens is the person who gave talos the phone is clearly aull because the person they're acting as you saw.
Starting point is 00:40:07 So it's not that guy. It's someone else who... Guy that was sitting right there. Yeah, okay. Okay. So this is a lot to process here. We cannot... I cannot do these recaps
Starting point is 00:40:22 unless I at least watch like one recap from someone else telling me what happened or else we would just be walking blind. I didn't do that. I've been just watching babies, and it's just kind of turned my brain to mush, to be honest. I saved everyone the story of what just happened in Pennsylvania the last few days in the Clemenza family. So I'm right there with you in terms of mush brain right now. AJ? Someone asked, how was your trip?
Starting point is 00:40:48 We had a little 4th of July trip from the July 3rd to the 5th. I said it was one of those trips. I don't know how many people have had them in their lives. There's always the trip where it's so bad. It's comically bad. And you talk about it the rest of your life. During our trip, we went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for Dutch Wonderland. It's like a little amusement park, baseball game.
Starting point is 00:41:09 It's Amish country, so we could do some stuff there, whatever. The kids were basically taking turns about who had the stomach bug and which part of the body the stomach bug came out of. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. It's one of those. And then the car ride home became um basically worrying about if and then which one of them was going to have an issue and then uh my me and my
Starting point is 00:41:30 wife were kind of battling stuff uh throughout that so um yeah not a very good fourth of july weekend i wish i just stayed home yeah that's that's you know what that's tough at least you got secret invasion yeah we came home in s and Sienna Half-Life were watching Secret Invasion when we got home. So that was nice. So Nick Fury goes into a bar to ask Talos for help. Talos knows what he's there for right away. Talos! All right, Bob.
Starting point is 00:41:54 All right. We're going to have to do something here. We're going to have to do something. We're going to have to change it. Yeah. No. We're going to have to do- A swear jar?
Starting point is 00:42:01 A swear jar. Yes. That's exactly right. Dollar. Okay. Every time you say Talos, a dollar goes to our guy, Sam Lauderdale, big St. Jude's guy. I love St. Jude's. Dollar goes to St. Jude's every single day.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Do I correct you or do I just silently count? You could, yeah. I'll correct you because I can't just have you. You're never going to be correct. I'm going to have to write it differently. I'm going to have to write it with a Y. T-A-a-y-l-o-s yeah yeah yeah so he goes to ask talos for help and talos is not interested at first unless he hears nick fury basically tell him hey i'm pathetic without you and i need your help so he makes those words too i did it like
Starting point is 00:42:40 that's such he's like whatever he actually stands up up and whispers. He tries to make a show of it a little bit. Like, I'll say it for you, bro. I just need your help. And he calls Olivia Colman, and she gives up Bob immediately. So, it's Bob. He's like, oh, it's Bob. I got to make that a meme for myself.
Starting point is 00:43:00 That would... Yeah, there's some good... There's some meme potential in this show, but again, it's not going to mean anything because nobody watches the goddamn show, so they're not going to know what we're talking about this show but again it's not going to mean anything because nobody watches the goddamn show so they're not gonna know disney's probably gonna fucking pull it next week for you know a write-off they're gonna write it off you could write it off the magazine's gonna be donated to saint jude's fury and talos get into it on a drive where fury's like i've been cleaning up your mess for 30 years and he's like
Starting point is 00:43:24 motherfucker is that how you see our relationship you've been cleaning up my mess he's like, I've been cleaning up your mess for 30 years. And he's like, motherfucker, is that how you see our relationship? You've been cleaning up my mess? He's like, let me remind you, you didn't progress through S.H.I.E.L.D. until you put together this secret squad. And then we all just basically did your work for you. And you climbed up the ranks thanks to us. And I immediately got vibes of Tales of the Jedi, the animated Star Wars series, where we saw Count Dooku kind of doing
Starting point is 00:43:46 a lot of the work for mace windu another samuel jackson character and then he rises the ranks of the jedi council i was like shit is talos the count dooku to nick fury's mace windu in a weird convoluted way but i really enjoyed this conversation and kind of the 30-year backstory you get for not only nick fury but his climb through shield they have a good uh rapport with each other and it's it's like guys who are definitely have done some shit together and are you know co-workers but also like the fact that you could be like i want you to say that you are fucking awesome like that's something you would say to a buddy that you've had for years and you know you can kind of twist the knife in him. And he's going to have to take that knife out.
Starting point is 00:44:31 And it just I remember one time I was we went to New Orleans for like a trip and he was just pissing me off. He was just bothering me. Bother. He just he's a he's a great guy, but he could just be a gnat when he wants to be a gnat. So I just I just pinned myself on top. And I'm like, just apologize and i started hitting himself with his hands like he do to like a kid and i was like apologize because like you're just bothering everyone right now and finally he's like i you can't pull that shit unless you have the battles that you've been through with each other in a good way you know the valet nights at the bar and
Starting point is 00:45:01 just all the nonsense the the drunk nights the the mornings where you're still kind of just hungover. And I feel like Talos and Nick Fury could probably tell some tales about the shit that went down. And I just love that whole dynamic. That's one of the cool things about this show, that apparently 90% of MCU fans are just missing right now. They're missing out on it. And I don't want anyone listening to this podcast to miss out
Starting point is 00:45:23 on any big events because they're overpriced. OK, and I know a lot of events are overpriced nowadays, but not with GameTime, the exclusive ticketing partner of Barstool Sports 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, shows, more. They guarantee the lowest price. And if you're getting into one of these disagreements with a friend and you're like, listen, let's go smooth things over. Take them to a baseball game. Go to a minor league game.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Go to a major league game. I mean, you couldn't go to major league with Game Time because they're as cheap as minor league tickets. It's all possible with their app. The biggest last-minute price drops can be found on the seats you thought you could never buy, and the purchase process just takes two taps and 10 seconds. Once you buy your tickets, they're delivered directly to your phone.
Starting point is 00:46:09 No printer needed. And the app also allows you to share your tickets with friends via text. So you can all get into the game seamlessly. One of your friends is annoying you. You don't want to go into the game with them. Text them his ticket. Say, hey, we'll meet you at entrance B and go in entrance C. And then just be like, hey, we're in there.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Just meet us at our seats. Skip the hassle. Enjoy the moment. Download the game time app or go to their website, enter your email and redeem the code M M B for $20 off your first purchase. Terms apply. Game time is the best. I'll be using them tonight as we record this July 6th to go see yellow car
Starting point is 00:46:42 down the shore ocean Avenue on the beach where I can see the ocean. It's perfect. It's a beautiful thing. And if, Hey, if you get sick with the stomach flu, you won't even mind it. Cause you save so much money.
Starting point is 00:46:55 It'll be like, you know, for free. Don't, don't put that energy on me. Don't put that demon energy on me. I don't like that place, Bob.
Starting point is 00:47:02 I did see you posted from that vacation. The minor league game you went to looked like the coolest ballpark i've ever seen they had the simpsons arcade game pinball machines ski ball looked like a whole cafeteria where was that in lancaster did you say the lancaster the lancaster barnstormers they are um it's yankee clipper i think no clipper magazine stadium would you ever get the clipper magazine Magazine where they send you the local coupons for your stuff? They're the ones who sponsored it. It's a pretty new ballpark, I believe.
Starting point is 00:47:31 And then when I was about to buy tickets, I saw for $10 more than I could pay for just regular seats, you get to go into the thing. It's called the Ret arcade suite and it has all it has simpsons ninja turtle game um golden tea donkey kong i mean basically like there's like all these old school arcade the terminator game remember terminator 2 right with the guns all that kind of stuff it has like six skeeball machines and it has like i don't know 50 70 pinball machines all from like the gold like like, and pinball machines, I never knew existed, but were like awesome, like NBA and just very cool brands and stuff
Starting point is 00:48:11 like that associated with it. There were a lot of fun. So it was like $10 more. I get to go to the baseball game, right? Seats right behind home plate, a suite. It's air conditioned, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, drinks, sodas, whatever you want to do, waters. It was incredible. So if you're ever
Starting point is 00:48:26 passing by Lancaster, Pennsylvania, check it out. Tell them Klump sent you and see if you can get on game time there. Maybe get your tickets for a little cheaper and yeah, do the retro arcade suite. It was fucking incredible. And the kids didn't watch a pitch of baseball, but they
Starting point is 00:48:43 loved that. And it was fireworks night too. So we had the 4th of July fireworks. It was absolutely perfect. Boom. There we go. Another fireworks. Another reference for you. So back to Secret Invasion. Talos sneaks in as Bob to the Bob compound.
Starting point is 00:48:58 And his cover is blown pretty much right away. Like, he sneaks in past one guy as Bob. And then the next guy that sees him is like, wait a minute. I just said bye to you. And then it's full-on scroll ambush and you get a quick standoff with the real bob with his kid and nick fury sees through it because he calls him nick in talos's it's a dollar talos's voice he calls him nick and he's like nobody calls me nick so he puts the call in for the strike anyway. They don't know the code to it.
Starting point is 00:49:27 So they're like trying to get the code out of him and whatnot. And then here's where we get Jules. Bob starts talking shit. I'm not giving you this. I'm not giving you that. And Nick Fury's like, I will give you to the count of three, motherfucker. Immediately goes into Jules' voice. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Bob brings up Gaia again and he gets shot for it. You don't say the G word in front of our guy, Talos, Ben Mendelsohn. You just don't do that. But then he calls Gaia and she gets the password through his memory bank. She kind of watches it and it's a shame. It's,
Starting point is 00:49:59 you know, just killed that guy, but it's, well, I guess he killed the scroll version of him. It's his son, Zachary. So they, they get the code Zachary. that guy but it's uh well i guess he killed the scroll version of him it's his son zachary so they get the code zachary they stop the world war three strike from happening essentially and gaia is then
Starting point is 00:50:13 stopped by gravic in the forest she tries to escape but he knows he knows she was the traitor and he shoots her he shoots her in the forest seemingly killing her but like there's no fucking way she's dead because you don't get amelia clark for that role like what what's going on here i have it r.i.p our dog gaia like is she dead i don't even i didn't even know what side gaia was on until like the end of this episode and then they just i feel like that's the move if you're a scroll and you get like shot or something just morph back into your scroll form and try not to like scream or cry and then they'll be like oh they're dead right it's like it's like when you were a kid and it's like if you stick your tongue out of your mouth that means that you're dead isn't it weird that everyone does
Starting point is 00:50:58 that and now that you know what dead people look like no one has their tongues out that was always the one that does that yeah unfortunately talia al ghul does that in the dark knight rises if you go back and re-watch her death scene right that's tough it's a great movie but it's a tough scene she's like it's like wait a minute you're a great actress why did you do that was that a joke take that they accidentally put in the movie it's weird go back it'll kind of ruin the movie for you not the whole movie but it'll ruin the ending for you i loved i love that first of all talos is awful at like being um like a sneaky kind of like secret agent guy right he's just awful at it like he has many strengths sneaking around and like i mean honestly he gets caught like instantly
Starting point is 00:51:42 too it would have been funny and i'm gonna say bad word, but I'm saying it on purpose, the T word. It would be funny if the roles were switched and then the guy is acting like the Fury goes, Hey, Talos, I got him. And then Talos is like, Talos, because my name is Talos. It's not my name. The only person who calls me that is Robbie Fox. And he has to pay a dollar to St. Jude's every time he does. I already owe a dollar.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I'll give that dollar. So the episode ends with a very ominous scene of Vara going, getting your keys, taking a train to like one of those security box rooms that banks have. Is that what it's called? Security box? Safety deposit box. Safety deposit box. Yes. That sounds way more. Two poor guys are out here.. Safety deposit box. Yes. That sounds, that sounds.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Two poor guys right here. Yeah. Oh, I don't have one. You can tell by that. I definitely do. What would I put in my safety deposit? My Superman lives script, Kevin Smith signed. Well, Bob, that was going to be a question.
Starting point is 00:52:37 If you had a safety deposit box, what would you put? I have this as a thing. And you know what I would put in there? What? I would put a gun in there. Even though I don't own a gun and never have an interest i just feel like it's a badass thing to do i mean that is badass to have a gun in a box like that just like if you gotta go john wick you're like i gotta go get my weapon yeah yeah and i don't know if the safety deposit box i don't know handler
Starting point is 00:52:59 or valet stays in there with you or they just let you be or that maybe they're watching you on a camera but if you just open the box and take the gun out and be like, put it back in put the box back in, I think that's kind of, it's like a flex, right? I would put like a replica Han Solo DL-44 in mine, just take it out and go pew pew, pew pew, pew pew
Starting point is 00:53:18 and put it back in so she goes to hers and she does in fact have a gun in there, she has a gun and an envelope, I don't know if there's cash did she see what gun in there. She has a gun and an envelope. I don't know if there's cash. Did she see what was in there? It looked like she looked like it, but we didn't get to see, right? Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:53:32 And Sienna asked me a thousand times, like, what's going on here? And I'm like, I don't know what I'm supposed to know and not supposed to know in this show, which is kind of fucking annoying. But it's also like, that's what you're getting with like a thriller show, right? Yeah. This kind of stuff. So I'm with you there. I don't know if we're supposed to know or not let us know in the comments tweet at us hit us up on threads whatever you got to do help a couple of morons
Starting point is 00:53:53 figure out what this whole goddamn uh show is about and by the way if you didn't get in on it one of the previous weeks where we did this we had the entire comment section of our youtube turn into uh everyone telling us which barstool employees they think are scrolls and why this week let's just open that up to the world who which celebrities baseball players athletes anyone who do you think is a scroll and why because i had a blast reading through all the random submissions i thought that was really funny the episode ends though go ahead ahead. I had a guy reach in, Chris Castaneda. Idea for a pod question at
Starting point is 00:54:30 the end. If you were a Skrull, who would you turn into? Like, which Shieland would you watch the whole time? Who lives such a cool life that I'm like, I just want to just step into their life and just assume those shoes. Because, like, you don't want to go with, like, you. Because you don't want to go too famous in terms of a Taylor Swift, because her tour right now, I'm sure she's working a ton.
Starting point is 00:54:51 And you want more of a chill. You almost want an in-shape old person, where you're like, I know I'm not going to die, but Harrison Ford would be a good one, to be honest. Just step into Harrison Ford's life. He does whatever he wants all day, every day. I guarantee it.
Starting point is 00:55:09 But you know what? They would tell I was a scroll right away. Cause I wouldn't be able to shit on star Wars like him. Yeah. That's, that's actually a group. You get a lukewarm standing ovation everywhere you go to, which would be kind of,
Starting point is 00:55:18 I get a little teary eyed whenever they bring up star Wars and they'd be like, uh, Harrison, that ain't you. Could it be a good one to assume into? I don't know. You have one?
Starting point is 00:55:29 So I did have an idea of one. It was only for the podcast I was going to bring it up just because I thought you'd find it funny. It would be funny if there was someone who would just be whatever one is the dickhead Gallagher brother or the bigger of the dickhead Gallagher brothers. And say they're going to reunite and then say, no, they're not. And just play with like their Oasis fans.
Starting point is 00:55:48 That wouldn't be funny. That's not funny at all. That's not joking matter. You can't laugh about that. But yeah, like step into Liam Gallagher and then just be like, no, I'm so sorry. Let's do this. Let's get the band back together.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Yeah, that's what to do. Thank you for that idea. Or if you go out to like the Hamptons and just morph into Leo and just see what it's like as a day in the band back together. Yeah, that's what to do. Thank you for that idea. Or if you go out to like the Hamptons and just morph into Leo and just see what it's like as a day in the life of Leo. Just like walking down the street and just seeing the other girls swoon and fawn over themselves.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Also, my guy Chris here said, Jose Young's is definitely a Skrull. He knows way too much about what's going on and all this sussless stuff. Our boy Jose took a stray shot there. He could be. So Vara gets a call. the voice on the other end says saint james church one hour and she's like i want to speak to gravic and he she hears like well you're talking to me click so it's like you have been talking
Starting point is 00:56:39 to gravic he did you lie to nick fury when you said you didn't talk to him or he kind of just didn't tell the truth you withhold the truth from him she's been talking to Gravick is it a familial thing is it her son is it someone she knows is it someone she helped to raise through the Skrull camp is she trying to tell him don't go down this path is she trying to pull the light out of him Princess Leia Ben Solo style something like that I don't know but I don't trust Vara I hate to say I know Nick Fury trusted her enough to marry her and whatnot I just don't know if I that i don't know but i don't trust vara i hate to say i know nick fury trusted her enough to marry her and whatnot i just don't know if i try i don't even know if i trust nick fury right now i see people talking about nick fury might be a scroll we might get a new nick
Starting point is 00:57:14 fury in the final episodes i don't know what to believe but right now i don't really trust anyone but ben mendelsohn yeah i think talos is the only guy I can trust right now. Right. And yeah. And I don't know if Talos is even Talos when it comes down to it. Cause he can't, I don't like it, Bob. I don't like it one bit. Like I,
Starting point is 00:57:35 yeah, this is the problem that I need to know for a fact that Nick Fury is Nick Fury. Cause once he, I do not know if he's Nick Fury, the entire fucking everything. The Jenga blocks just all full. How do I know if he's nick fury the entire fucking everything the jenga the jenga blocks just won't follow how do i know i'm me yeah you know how do i know you're you how do we know that we exist how do we know that secret invasion is just a figment of our
Starting point is 00:57:56 imaginations and we're in a moon night like locked away room and the mcu doesn't exist anymore and they're like robin clem they really believe that they're talking about shows every week this is why we needed old scrolly scroll jose young's to give us like a breakdown beforehand because when we got the breakdown for moon night we kind of knew what's going on yeah we might have been able to like be like listen these things are definitely what's going to happen it's kind of would be spoiler but at least like i'd have my head on straight at this point i'm just fucking i'm turning into Tony Buscelli all over again. I'm, I'm scrolling over here.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I don't know what to believe. We got three episodes left. This is officially the halfway mark. As we mentioned at the beginning, it's a show that I'm enjoying. It's not a show that is like the most must watch show that you have to recommend to everyone week to week, but I'm certainly surprised that word of mouth and this cast hasn't carried
Starting point is 00:58:43 it to greater discussions on Twitter, on Instagram, on Threads. Threads, the newest app. Follow us on Threads. I saw Mark Zuckerberg tweeted he wants Threads to be the number one spot for MMA discussions. I was like, ooh, spinning back fists. Maybe that could help keep the basement lights on for a little longer. Let's hope so. Let's hope so, Zuck.
Starting point is 00:59:02 It's such bullshit that YouTube is one of the few things that Zuck hasn hasn't like taken over right because he just claws into yeah and he'd be like they'd be like who's the number one mma guy uh robbie fox that's what all the suits would say there right so that's what the youtube suits think yeah i might be going on a trip to youtube as well we'll talk about that all fair but uh apparently youtube wants to send the uh the kings of youtube to figure out some algorithm shit and gas was the uh the kings of youtube to figure out some algorithm shit and gas was like would you go out there to figure out some algorithm shit i was like fuck yeah fuck yeah and if anyone has any algorithm shit that they could tell us independently let us know let's hack the system here people if you could turn us into mr beast numbers wise we'll
