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 3C. 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 four today. It's a show that every week we say we're one of the or two of the dozen people watching it and we're enjoying it. This episode, I thought, should have taken it to the next level.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Some of the things that went down in this episode are such big events that it felt like the episode that should catapult Secret Invasion into that next echelon. I got to be honest, this episode didn't really do that for me. I'm enjoying the show and everything. This episode, I don't know what it was. It fell a little bit flat for me. I don't know if it just felt a little hollow to me. It was the shortest episode by quite a large margin. Maybe you could have fleshed things out more,
Starting point is 00:01:00 but I don't know. It just, this episode didn't fully hit for me. What about you? Did you enjoy it? I'm with you on that. Just something was a little off when you take a sip of something. You're like, there's something wrong with this one right here. Right. And yeah, it wasn't bad. I don't think it was bad, but it was just like it left me feeling a little underwhelmed. And it was important. Like you have some action, you have some some big moments and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:23 You have a lot of moments, actually. And even with that, I'm like, is this going to be the big one or is the next one going to be the big one? Episode six is going to be the big one. I've come to a realization. And boy, did it make me mad. This is my prediction for Secret Invasion season one, whatever the series, whatever it is. The after credit scene after the final episode is going to be the biggest part of the show. And it is going to piss me off so much that I devoted those six-ish hours of my life.
Starting point is 00:01:59 And basically everyone who didn't watch just got like the prize in the cereal box, which they haven't done in years. I don't even know how I pulled that out of my brain, but it's just kind of bullshit right there. That's what I'm saying. Damn. You're probably right about that right we're gonna get yeah one of those book of boba fett level uh post-credit scenes that gets us so excited for something and then it's just like the next show or whatever this secret invasion podcast is brought to you by 3g of all the things in life one of the best has to be getting high wherever you want whenever

But yeah, I mean, there were like three separate moments in this episode that were like huge in the context of Secret Invasion. Two of them were pretty big in the context of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. And all of the moments I was just kind of like, oh, oh okay I guess that's where we're going next with it which again it's it's not a bad show
Starting point is 00:04:10 there's nothing about the show that I would say is like oh it deserves horrible reviews for this it's just a little underwhelming it's a little less than what we expected from it Dave is enjoying it though I talked to Dave in the office yesterday he's all caught up and he's like like i'm enjoying secret invasion and i don't know why nobody's talking about it i'm amazed by that i and i love it too i love that this and and or it's like when he enjoys the real real shows i'm like oh look at our guy portnoy here uh maybe it's like nick fury talking like sentimentally with his wife and then action scenes it's like my brain can't do those like jumps so if you start with action scenes i'll probably be like oh man the action in this show was great but then i'll probably like add the um you know lovey-dovey stuff whatever so the fact
Starting point is 00:04:55 that they led with one and then ended with another i don't know what it is but i'm i'm right there with you i'm interested to see how many people are kind of feeling the same way we are about this yeah so we're gonna get into it we're gonna get into the bear as well this episode i haven't finished season two yet but i'm up to like episode eight so i'm really close we could talk about at least six and seven the two that everyone's talking about and obviously we'll we'll get into the nitty-gritty of secret invasion so i have an idea. We do our Secret Invasion recap. After that, we'll do our little, we'll do a little bear chat. We'll talk, we'll try to keep it short
Starting point is 00:05:29 because I do think when we have the whole season, I could do a whole episode about the bear season too. Okay. Yeah, we'll keep it short then. I think we'll both be able to and, you know, we'll have something, I think. But you're in a good part. I'm very excited to talk to you about that, too.
Starting point is 00:05:45 All right. I'm more excited to talk about the bear than I am about the Marvel stuff, which is something I never thought I'd say in the basement, yet here we are. Also, something that I just wanted to mention on the podcast, because we kind of talked about the Gallagher brothers last week. We talked about Oasis turning into a Skrull. I had a bit of a stalker-ish day in Central Park. I was going to see Noel Gallagher. Everyone knows him in Oasis Freak. If you listen to the podcast, you probably know that
Starting point is 00:06:10 by now. Going to see Noel Gallagher in Central Park. And I thought to myself, hey, it's in the park. The summer stage is such a small part of the park where it's just a little tiny part sectioned off. What if I just stood in the field? Could I hear him soundcheck mid-afternoon? Like the office isn't too far from Central Park. I would love to hear a couple extra songs from one of my favorite songwriters ever so I do that and on the way I said let me stop at a record store and just buy myself a vinyl and see if maybe if I catch him from across the way I could hold the vinyl up and be like hey can you sign this or whatever thank god I did that I go there's like 16 to 20 people who have the exact same idea i have where
Starting point is 00:06:47 they have stuff to get signed and everything we were wait around for a couple hours he shows up he sound checks we're able to hear the sound check he plays a couple oasis songs that he wasn't even going to play live that night so i'm like in heaven already i'm like this is worth the trip to central park i'm sitting beautiful day on the grass. Here's some oasis from the guy who wrote the actual songs. And then out of nowhere, one of the, I would say, leaders of the fan group just is on the phone and she yells, he's leaving other entrance. So at this point, people start sprinting and I have to think to myself am I this guy am I the kind of guy who goes to Central Park with a vinyl in my hand camping out basically stalking one of my idols and then when I hear
Starting point is 00:07:32 he's leaving I'm gonna run I'm gonna sprint I mean we know chaps our friend chaps he's made a vow never to run again yes there's no reason you should have to run and I sucked it up and I said yeah I'm that guy I got live forever tatted on my collarbone. I'm the guy that runs for Noel Gallagher. I ran across Central Park, and I caught him before he left, and he was short on time, so he was like, listen, I don't have time for selfies and pictures today, just autographs.
Starting point is 00:07:56 So I said, oh, thank God I fucking stopped for the vinyl, handed him my vinyl, he signed it, and I was never more starstruck. It was above Conor McGreggregor in terms of i just thought i could maybe get something out i thought maybe i would take a video and be like thank you so much by the way call liam and like get out of there say something funny you know yeah i just i couldn't get it out i said thank you and i heard my voice shake i was like thank you thank you but here it is um my signed noel gallagher vinyl it's hard to see on the uh camera but you kind of
Starting point is 00:08:28 see the loop there yeah um this is the master plan this is the oasis b-sides album which has like a picture of noel on the back it's kind of like the noel album if you were going by them so i just wanted to share that experience with the listeners you may think if you're an oasis fan that's cool if you're not you may now think robbie's a stalker he's a bit of a mark david chapman but hey i didn't end the day the same way mark david chapman ended his day that's that's a win uh i like you i like that you were having the conversation of yourself am i this guy that would bring something to the park and wait for him as you had already sat in the park with the vinyl in your hand for like two hours and again yeah and for two hours again the running it's like at that point if you don't do it you're the weird one because
Starting point is 00:09:09 that's what i was thinking i was like i need the autograph at least so i get something out of this day where it's like if i just say no i didn't want to run to 20 feet away so i'd let him leave and i just spent two hours in the park doing nothing. That's a much lamer story. And when you're with that group of super fans, which you're, you know, so if you're waiting for an artist, even like back in the day, I remember Madden would come out at midnight and I'd go and wait for Madden.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And you're there with a bunch of losers and you all sit and marinate in this same like cloud of loserdom that you all just became the same level loser. It's just how it goes for that day or that night so like you had to do it and my guy Bob Fox has crossed off let's see
Starting point is 00:09:52 we have Noel Gallagher we have Conor McGregor we have Luke motherfucking Skywalker like who else is left for you to conquer at this point tell you what Noel's got a brother Liam would be great dave grohl dave grohl is the white whale i feel like at this point paul mccartney but paul mccartney's such a white
Starting point is 00:10:12 whale that i don't expect that to ever happen but the amount of people yes speaking of the cloud of loserdom the amount of people in central park that walked past this group and was like what are you guys waiting for someone says noel gallagher and everyone goes who oh and they're like the oasis guy who oh what wonderwall oh wonderwall still plays i like yeah that's what the americans need like anywhere else you could say oasis and they're like oh okay in america you you gotta shout out wonderwall um let's get into secret invasion i'm sure we got a bunch of nerds that are like enough about the rock and roll stalker talk robbie let's get into this show so the intro scene i'm gonna be honest i'm a little confused by still we see gaia she's
Starting point is 00:10:58 alive like she goes and uses that machine that she went and looked down at what the graphic was showing the all the council members we know this machine like gives you powers it's not like fully explained what she did though did were they showing us flashbacks to her using the machine she yeah i think she used the machine previously before everything had gone down um super scrolled herself and then got on her way so so she's invincible she's got that red shit that you know it's it's like she's wolverine but with red glowing stuff yep exactly it's the um i forgot the alien name that that has the he was on the screen i saw yeah but i already forgot it what
Starting point is 00:11:38 do we say to her now so if it's r.i.p my dog Gaia when she dies, welcome back, my dog Gaia. Yeah, welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. I also see all over Jersey. I think I've texted it to you.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I've definitely tweeted it before. One of the main graffiti tags all over New Jersey is Tony spelled with an A. And every time I pass it, I think R.I.P. my dog. I'm Peter Parker looking at the Iron Man graffiti everywhere I look. spelled with an A. And every time I pass it, I think RIP my dog. I'm Peter Parker looking at the Iron Man graffiti. Everywhere I look, I see his face. But she's got superpowers now. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:12:14 We knew that she probably wouldn't be dead, and we knew that she wouldn't be off the show. We were like, at the very least, you'll go to flashbacks because you got Emilia Clarke for this role. You get the intro, the old AI intro that everyone hates. At this point, I gotta be honest, I'm skipping it. It's two minutes long. I skippedark for this role you get the intro the old ai intro that everyone hates at this point i gotta be honest i'm skipping it it's two minutes long i skipped the intro do you get the intro instant skip i skipped the intro and i skipped the previously ons as well i'm like let's just get this fucking show over with i'll be honest when i thought so
Starting point is 00:12:37 38 minutes too i'm like good this should be yeah you know what's so bad is we were for the last three weeks we were the guys like this show is great you should be watching and talking about it i had the exact same reaction this week i was like all right good a short one marvel it it feels like you're eating your vegetables so you have the whole puzzle together and again like i don't hate the show but it's like it's it's not grabbing me more again when i i've seen tv like we talked about with the bear i've been watching some other shows i've been i re-watched uh the last of us actually with sienna see i don't want to watch the last of us and i was like no no way and she just kept asking and i said fine
Starting point is 00:13:15 if you have nightmares you're gonna and i also wanted to be with her so i could skip some you know problematic parts that could be raising questions about birds and bees and stuff and uh i love it and then i'm just going back to secret invasion i'm like this isn't quite the level of that and it's kind of i mean look at the emmys we just got the emmy nominations the drama category this year is as stacked as i think it's ever been you've got like succession against house of the dragon versus andor versus Last of Us versus, you know, the Better Call Saul. It's heavy, heavy hitters. And this show isn't grabbing us like those.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I will say I saw Obi-Wan getting a few nominations. I liked Obi-Wan more than almost everybody. I didn't expect it to get nominations. That was the Don Cheadle of this year where it was like Don Cheadle got nominated for an Emmy for Falcon and the Winter Soldier, his one scene, it's like, what? Really? How did that? Yeah. So how did that slip through? I had no idea. We go to Paris in 2012 and we get that romantic scene,
Starting point is 00:14:16 clearly right after the first Avengers, because Vara brings up with Nick. Hey, I saw those guys on the news and I just assumed I probably knew the guy that united them and got them together and he's like oh maybe you did and they start reading poems to each other it's like a dialogue poem where you go back and forth she wants to call herself beloved that's like a nice thing that they wrap back around at the end of the episode i like seeing the aftermath of the other big movies like just hearing them talk about when I saw 2012, I was like, Hmm, is this going to be right before or after the Avengers?
Starting point is 00:14:49 Just here. And like, did you get those guys together? And he's like, damn right. I did. I'm the same as you, Bob.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Remember when, uh, in Hawkeye, when it says 2012, and then we see the entire fight from a different point of view. That was so cool. Yeah. So now we're seeing like the headlines in Paris of how everything went down.
Starting point is 00:15:04 And that was, and I, you forget that nick fury wouldn't just be telling his wife hey by the way babe i'm gonna be doing an after credit scene and we're gonna get a new member in the group tonight like you wouldn't say that so the fact that she's kind of picking apart and seeing their relationship of how it goes is cool also the favorite poem thing. Do you have a favorite poem? I don't think so. No. I have a favorite poem. I can't recite it, but it's called Mrs. McTwitter the Babysitter by Shel Silverstein. You know Shel Silverstein?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Where the sidewalk ends, light in the attic. I'm telling you about it. I know Raisin in the Sun. Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? All right. So this isn't going to hit with you. Maybe not your generation but shell silverstein that was one of those poet poet poem books it's a big old book and it has a bunch
Starting point is 00:15:52 of different like you know one page poems and they're fun mrs mctwitter the babysitter she sits on the baby she doesn't know you're not supposed to sit on the baby sounds a little horrific now that i say it out loud yeah but it's all like it's a little it's comedic maybe a little dark comedy but it's it's kid friendly so uh anyone out there shout out to my shell silverstein crew hey drop some poems in the comments write some fucking haikus for us this week your your favorite poem i mean i guess it's technically a song you think it'd be jingle bells batman smells robin legged and anger is that too aggressive that's a poem no i like that yeah it's fun loving batman smells robin laid an egg or is that too aggressive that's a poem no i like that yeah it's fun loving batman jokes you know i like that one so yeah sure that's my favorite poem has that ever been said in a movie like hey heard uh joker got away or you know you heard you laid an
Starting point is 00:16:36 egg or robin laid an egg no tv obviously we've got in a couple animated shows but yeah i don't know about movies movie would be tough but it would hit with me. I know that much. It would probably be very out of place, especially this current Batman. If that was, it would be like a fart in church. It would be like, what the hell just happened? We go to present day. Rhodey meets up with Vara in a church.
Starting point is 00:17:01 So I actually saw some tweets and comments that said guys i'm surprised he didn't pick up on it really sounded like don cheadle on the phone with farah last week and i didn't pick up on that to be honest i didn't hear his voice but it was him i am so goddamn mad that i didn't make that point because i was like oh that's roadie and i never pick up on the little things like that and i was so proud of myself. And then when I saw him, I'm like, Oh yeah, I was right.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And I'm like, God damn it. Now I really wish I had said it in the, on the podcast. So I'm kind of torn. It's more of a, just like an internet points thing. I wish I had my internet points.
Starting point is 00:17:35 So I fucked up. I did know scouts on, or you guys know, I fuck up a million times and I own them. Namely. I like, you know, I have like a puppy getting killed and I'm calling him the devil.
Starting point is 00:17:43 However, I did have the Don Cheadle voice pegged perfectly uh and i'm still just like is this really the don cheadle as we find out is it really roadie going on well as soon as i saw him in the church like this and he was talking about graphic and all that i was like well he's a scroll so the reveal later on in the episode did not really hit hard for me. It was the way they shot it I thought was so cool, and it felt like it should have that weight to it. But this is one of the big moments in the episode I'm talking about where it is skipping ahead a little bit that they reveal him as a Skrull.
Starting point is 00:18:14 But from this scene on, I was like, he's obviously a Skrull. No doubt. I mean, the way he's talking about it, I can Nick Fury's ass. Fuck that guy. The way he was like, he would never say that. He also drops... Go ahead. He drops a wrestling reference. Yeah. He says, I hit him with a
Starting point is 00:18:30 DDT from the top rope, better than the Undertaker. Yeah. In my mind right away, I'm like, you're obviously a Skrull, because the Undertaker didn't do DDTs from the top rope. But, just a crazy conversation, and he wants Vara to kill Fury. He's like, I want you to kill him. If not, I'll put a bullet in your brain, basically. basically but fury's listening to the conversation all the time he's got them
Starting point is 00:18:49 bugged yeah i got him mic'd up uh i i love that this scroll probably tried to get roadie's memory or something and like doesn't understand how wrestling works and thinks that she knows talking undertaker did anyone who did the ddt from the top rope was that uh was that someone's move like eddie guerrero did like the tornado ddt where he would run up the ropes and yeah yeah a couple people that would kind of do that ray mysterio would do that was more of a cruiserweight thing if you're doing a ddt from the top rope like you're probably a tiny guy not like the undertaker yeah and nobody like in my girl marissa toomei or Mona Lisa Vito, nobody, and I mean nobody, could mistaken Eddie Guerrero for The Undertaker. So completely, completely way off. If you're looking to go to a WWE show, though, maybe see The Undertaker.
Starting point is 00:19:37 He's retired now, but listen, is he ever really retired? He always shows up. Dead man don't die. Exactly. Dead man don't die. If you're looking to go see a wwe show you could go to game time created by fans for fans game time is the ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last minute deals on tickets to sports concerts shows wrestling shows and more they
Starting point is 00:19:57 guarantee the lowest price as well so you could go to one of those wrestling pay-per-view summer slam is coming up or go to a concert festival season is upon us drake's on tour right now morgan wallen dead and company mets yankees a bunch of sports obviously just baseball really i guess um possible with the game time app though biggest last minute price drops can be found on the seats you never thought you could buy and the purchase process is so easy it just takes two taps 10 seconds once you buy your tickets they're delivered right to your phone no printer needed and the app also allows you to share tickets with your friends via text so you can get into the game seamlessly. Or if you're looking to show up 8 to 10 hours early for a concert

Enjoy the moment. Download the Game Time app or go to their website enter your email and redeem code mmb for 20 off your first purchase i love game time you used them for noel gallagher used them for yellow card the week before they're the best in the biz for a reason i have to say game time in some crazy way like that is part of the uh multiverse that allowed you to meet a gallagher right it's crazy how it all went
Starting point is 00:21:07 down so shadow game time shadow game time and the tickets were so cheap i think i saw noel gallagher for like 50 bucks which is insane and it also speaks to unfortunately noel gallagher's ticket sales aren't you know what they used to be i guess but it was noel gallagher and garbage you know garbage from the 90s felt like i was in captain marvel garbage is still on tour but it was Noel Gallagher and garbage, you know, garbage from the nineties. It felt like I was in Captain Marvel. Garbage is still on tour. Yeah. It was a cool headline. And I got to tell you, I'm not a big garbage guy.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I know like only happy when it rains from Captain Marvel and shit like that. I know stupid girl. Pretty sure that's all I know from garbage. Yeah. They've got a couple bangers, but they sounded great. I was pretty like impressed by them. Back to the show though. Gravik is up to another attack. He's telling him, make it look like the russians this time you know big grand like the russians would do it
Starting point is 00:21:50 and then gaia and talos notice i said talos that time i'm writing it with a y in my notes now they meet on a bench and talos wants to meet with the president cut a deal to stay where he's like we'll basically have a big bargaining chip with the president or we'll be like hey we'll stay undercover and we'll be the good scrolls and gaia his daughter is a little more progressive and she's like why are we hiding who we are don't you want to live in your own skin why do you want to cut this deal where you could just be this fake ben mendelsohn looking guy we want to be aliens so she calls the dad delusional and walks away classic father daughter argument there i would have been funny if she was like ben mendelsohn head ass that one on him uh it didn't seem like talos had kind of the uh it was almost like he was
Starting point is 00:22:39 thinking of like the perfect scenario that might work one in a million times and his own daughter's like you fucking moron. Like, A, we shouldn't have to go like that. We shouldn't have to be like that. And then B, it's probably like slim. Like if we do everything that works out, we still would need like a miracle for it all to go down the way we want it to. So that's like that whole dynamic was very interesting to me.
Starting point is 00:22:59 It's tough when you're like, it's never fun when you're explaining all the flaws in your parents' plans to your parents. It's like you guys are supposed to know everything. And listen, that's one thing that hits you hard as like an adult and not like a Robbie is an adult in his 20s. But as an old man adult with kids, especially is when you realize that your parents and all the other parents and all the other grownups in your life never knew what the fuck they were doing. They were just basically going forward and hoping everything worked out. And that's what our boy Talos is doing here.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And by the way, heavy spoiler, there's calls from Talos. And now I'm trying to figure out. I have to hear seven characters in the MCU. We have to go back to Captain Marvel and hear what he's called through everything. I mean, like I said, it might be han and han where it's like
Starting point is 00:23:47 some people say the millennium falcon like i think han says that in a new hope he's like the millennium falcon get on it's like falcon falcon what people just reading these weird words in the script and they're like ah let's throw a weird pronunciation on it for space but saint jude still has that dollar as of now we get confirmation so good work on you on doing the taylor stuff i do appreciate it also by the way the nick fury thing i forgot to mention this it must be so like if you ever hear people talking about you especially in like a negative manner it's fucking like heart-wrenching yeah i'm talking about murder you one of them is your wife and the other is like a co-worker that you're close to jesus christ man my guy nick furious having a rough run he was kind of the alonzo morning with uh he's like i got him bugged so he's like fuck all right i got him bugged like
Starting point is 00:24:35 i can figure this out also this is totally off topic but since we're talking about the weird pronunciations and just not knowing what words mean, have you noticed this is a new thing that Coke is doing? They're naming like they're doing new flavors, but they're naming them things that you can't tell what they're going to be. So I think we might have talked about this in the past because I tried a space one. I was like, if you put space on a Coke can't taste like space, I want to taste it. It wasn't very good. So they're not going to get me with another one. But I looked in a vending machine the other day.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Coke tastes like move. M-O-V-e move tastes like move what i gotta i gotta like it you can't i i so i think i had one called like fantasy or something like that and it wasn't like it wasn't my flavor um i i'd love to hear frank the tank just give his like 7 000 reviews for the entire thing ah this move is not motherfucking good fantasy sounds like it'd be like an aphrodisiac or something i i was thinking like uh disney because even like the way it was written to look disneyish you know or i don't know if it was even magic i don't i don't know but it was something like again you cannot put you cannot pin down which i kind of like kind of brilliant where it's like if it is because, cause I'm curious every time I'm like, what if this is the best soda I've ever had?
Starting point is 00:25:47 Like what if it's like a great, like cherry vanilla type flavor? That's what I like in soda, you know? But like, I don't know. If it says banana Coke, I'm not going to get banana Coke cause I don't like bananas, but if it says move Coke, but it's just banana Coke, it's kind of, and I, I think I saw the other day, I can't again. I think it said like the best coke ever or something like that and that's what they're doing yeah yeah and i was like you know what i was like i already got hit with the fantasy i'm not gonna try this but i was like
Starting point is 00:26:15 it's pretty fucking smart right there coke pretty fucking it's like the mystery airhead the white airhead that's one of the all-time candy inventions ever which do we even know what that is have they changed it over the years so i could be wrong because there's the mystery airhead that's one of the all-time candy inventions ever which do we even know what that is have they changed it over the years so i could be wrong because there's the mystery airhead and then the mystery dum-dum those are two yes mystery flavors and i believe one of them is like all the flavors that were just left over combined and then one of them i think is like whatever flavor that they had extra of so it could just be like you know we had extra of. So it could just be like, you know, we had extra blue today. So it just was the blue one, but no, with no color in it. You know what I mean? So on Google, I just Googled it.
Starting point is 00:26:51 This is interesting. Airheads, the white mystery airheads flavor is a unique combination of fruits that changes every year. It's not uncommon for the taste to resemble a mix of berries and other citrus like flavors, but the exact recipe remains a secret until it is revealed at the end of the year. So we didn't even know that they're doing reveals. Hey, this is what you've been eating for the last year.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I kind of like that. I learn something new every day. It's like a Royal Rumble entrant. You don't know what you're going to get. And you know what? That might be the Royal Rumble-like entries might be the like a highlight of the year for wrestling of randomness oh it's the best yeah it's just so much fun you hear the horn you hear the do the theme song still go on oh yeah yeah and then you just see the guy it's fucking
Starting point is 00:27:35 incredible every time so good on you see this is why you come to the base we never know because robbie might say the name wrong we're just going to start talking about different color airheads and don't say a name wrong we went to coke airhead yeah the royal rumble that's we're like the six degrees of kevin bacon we'll eventually get to the dark knight so fury goes back home fara gets in after him and she notices right away he's not wearing the wedding ring which i thought was a nice fury he's like want to fucking kill me i'm popping this ring right off and he makes them tea and she's kind of like oh this is interesting she sits down with him i think she's a little suspicious right away and he calls her his greatest mistake and the way he phrases it and everything was oh cut deep if you thought saying i'm gonna kill you cuts deep
Starting point is 00:28:20 he was like in all the dumb ass boneheaded decisions i've made throughout my entire life that almost got me killed even my eye i don't have an eye anymore but the worst mistake i ever made was you you motherfucker it's like oh shit and she tells him the story of how she chose her body he says tell me the story of how which i was like how many years have you guys been married where you guys have never talked about this you guys have never talked about how you choose that body. It's been at least since 2012, you know, whatever. That's not a whole thing. Promised the person that she took the body from that she would, you know, remain a member of her family, that she would use it for good fall in love. And the final promise was that she would never hurt fury.
Starting point is 00:29:04 And that got her choked up and everything and they recite the poem from earlier back to each other she just wanted to be beloved and he made her that and then they like put the guns out like it's a draw they shoot we hear both shots oh what happened they both shot beside each other and i loved the fury line where he said i don't know if we should get a divorce or renew our vows i was like oh that's pretty good and they kind of go their separate ways no one we're not going to kill each other but we're going to have to figure some shit out now there should have been some interspecies mingling after that you you get you live that danger you shoot the guns at each other you miss on purpose show that kind of love how there wasn't a little
Starting point is 00:29:42 hanky-panky in the fury house i'll never understand that's just like you're living on the edge i was gonna say you're only human what are you only human the other assumes the four of it i i can't believe it didn't they didn't get down with each other after that that is oh someone said this might have been heavy spoilers like that is the mr and mrs smith fight scene all over yeah where it just kind of like melts out all the like tension the cold war is over and now the war is Caliente right now. It's that baby. Did you know they're remaking Mr. And Mrs.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Smith is a TV show. Did you hear about that? Yeah. And I don't like it around me. Like Jersey. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Who's it? Is there any big stars in it? So there is the one thing that I agree with about really not liking it in terms of like, you don't really need to remake that right now, but the lead is Donald Glover that'll get me because I remember
Starting point is 00:30:30 not liking it and then hearing he was the lead I'm like okay it could work and when you watch the movie it did feel like there was a pretty good universe like the Vince Vaughn it felt like there was more there could have been more meat on the bone if they had decided to make sequels and stuff
Starting point is 00:30:44 it also ended Pitt's marriage to jennifer aniston which is kind of like an issue makes me feel rotten when i watch the movie uh but okay i can live up i will not watch it until people say it's good unless like somehow it has some nerdy angle we have to review it on the basement here yeah um but they're gonna feel it's the prowler yeah exactly that was a cool uh that was a very cool scene though like again there was a lot of this stuff where i'm like okay i'm rolling my eyes at it i'm like oh i like the the angle they took there i like the actress that plays vara too i i feel like she has like she has like a presence about her when she's on screen with nick fury where it's like you're on screen with samuel jackson you gotta kind of like
Starting point is 00:31:24 you gotta do the dance it takes two to tango with him you know you can't have him overpower the scene and she feels like the kind of person that could put him in his place every now and then I feel like Hollywood people is like oh this actress is tremendous she was in a limited run play
Starting point is 00:31:38 she was on the West End last year I'm talking like she was in Savannah or like she was nowhere near Broadway and she's just crushing. Yeah. Or yeah, the West End, I guess, would be good, too. So a Skrull, we watch showering and the Skrull gets out of the shower, wipe the mirror and reveal. It's Rhodey. Now, I'll be honest, when the Skrull the scroll was showing i thought we were looking at a female
Starting point is 00:32:05 scroll i didn't even think this was a male um i assumed his gender unfortunately but it was roadie he gets out of the shower puts a suit on walks out into his office or whatever and theory's sitting there waiting for him he brought some happy van winkle happy van winkle yep i wrote happy van winkle and roady does not trust him. He's like, why did you break in? And why did you bring alcohol? Should I be worried about this being poisoned? He's like, you shouldn't worry about it being poisoned.
Starting point is 00:32:32 You could throw it out. You'd get a new one. But your ancestors are going to attack you if you waste even a drop of this. And he goes to sip it, but doesn't at first. Even he puts it down. Fury takes a shot of it. And he tells him once again, there's scrolls in the u.s government they are high up and even the way samuel jackson played this scene so well because
Starting point is 00:32:50 the way he's saying it to roadie i don't believe fury like it feels like he's acting a bit and putting it on for him and everything roadie kind of blackmails fury with the video of him him shooting maria hill where he's like yeah i definitely won't let this out or any of the thousand copies I made of it. He has a weird line like that. And it turns out when they leave, the Pappy was a liquid location tracker, which I've never seen in a movie or show before, but that's some clever mission impossible type shit.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I don't know how long it stays in the person, but at least long enough for them to tell them. And they do wind up telling them on like that police escort to meet the president. Really cool scene where if you get Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson on screen together, pretty much going to be awesome every scene. By the way, that scroll was a girl, right? Was it a girl? So has it turned into is it a girl? I don't know if that matters do you have
Starting point is 00:33:45 to turn it into a girl i guess not no i guess not i don't want to be assuming anything here on the podcast especially aliens uh i don't know i don't know how that works in scroll land but i didn't consider that yeah you don't have to be a you don't have to be a girl scroll to be a guy human then i'm getting horny for roadie which felt even more weird getting horny for aliens getting horny for roadie i felt i was my brain was put in a good point by that yeah now my brain's in a pretzel now i'm thinking back and i'm like huh yeah huh but so the towel placement is what threw me off the towel place it went high on the chest so they didn't want to show us what it was yeah so so that you know what i feel a little better about that because when they turned it to don't you know i
Starting point is 00:34:22 was like i was looking at a dude the whole time i thought i was looking at like amelia clark or something that's exactly what i i think they wanted you to be completely confused which i that was what i appreciated yeah you're kind of just like what the fuck are who is this is this um gaia and then nope it's a scroll different scroll oh fuck it's roadie and then sam is uh kind of spark and like he said he's not even like he's just like throwing jabs. He's just. Yeah. Just trying to just see what he can get out of him.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I was also thinking there was a chance Sam since we know Sam knew and he was just going to blow his fucking brains out there. And we were going to have would have been awesome. That would have been awesome. So total violent. Quentin Tarantino ask like gory brains blown out scene. Yes, you did. Rhodey. Yes. like gory brains blown out scene yes you did roadie yes he just shoots him uh eats the fucking
Starting point is 00:35:08 big kahuna burger and goes about his way pappy van winkle too this happens with like any any high quality booze that i've ever heard of but is that real is pappy real yes yes i believe it's real and i think it is kind of like uh oh, shit, you got some legitimate good stuff, right? And I'm always like, man, I want to try that. And then, like, man, I really hate, like, any kind of, like, hard-ass liquor like that. However, I did have one. I think it was Johnny Blue. And I remember tasting it and being like, oh, oh, it makes sense now.
Starting point is 00:35:41 It was one of those things. Yeah. Why? It's so expensive. Yeah, exactly. So if anyone out there has some Pappy, I mean, the basement boys, we'll throw some on. it makes sense now it was one of those things so yeah why it's so expensive yeah exactly so if anyone out there has some pappy i mean the basement boys will throw a shot of pappy yeah we'll try to shout a pappy i actually tried a shot of our our boy trent's signature drink the other day for the first time not the other day but like maybe two weeks ago when i went to see
Starting point is 00:35:58 all-time low tried rumple mints i never had before and all-time low that's like their pre-show shot and they were like you want to do their pre-show shot and they were like you want to do the pre-show shot and this is my favorite band so i'm like absolutely i'm like yeah and then i like looked at my girlfriend i was like oh no i have to do a shot now and they were like it's rumpelmints i thought it went down so smooth i loved it i thought it might have been the best shot i ever took it's so good bob you can drink a ton of them and then you don't remember what happens and you wake up in jail like our boy you wake up in jail yeah rumple mints is one of those if if uh if you tell
Starting point is 00:36:31 people like oh we're gonna do shots of rumple mints if you're gonna do shots of goldschlager basically any kind of liqueur that has like uh candyish taste to it almost every single friend I have cannot do one of like those seven or eight different kind of shots because you just went too hard with it in college when you didn't want to drink the hard stuff and you didn't want to just drink beer and yeah rumple mints uh goldschlager i'm trying to think of a few others like soco is kind of like that as well there's some ones that can get dangerous on you so yeah bob oh i'm gonna ask bob you ever get out one night you're like i'm gonna have a few of these.
Starting point is 00:37:06 It could end up in the mugshot picture. Well, that's what Trent texts me. I texted Trent right away. Of course. It's like his signature thing. So I had to text him and be like, I just took my first shot of rumplements and he just wrote back. Don't take any more.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I was like, all right, all right. I'll cut myself off there. And I was good about that. And for the, for the people that don't know what we're talking about, this was like a old school barstool. This is pre-churn and our boy Trent got, had too much, got arrested and he just disappeared. Like he was on the blog too.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And Trent just stopped blogging for the day. And at that point it's like, what the hell happened to Trent? And then you just find out, Oh, he next morning, I think he tweeted at the heat and I'll And I'll put the thing up on the. Oh, here it is.
Starting point is 00:37:47 All time. He honestly in that picture, he looks like someone that would be like, oh, there it is. He looks like someone that would be arrested for like murder. Like this is making a murder on Netflix. The full story is even funnier. He went out with his uncle and and his last tweet was like, St. Lunatics just came on. See you next weekend or something.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And the bar was literally directly across the street from his apartment. So his uncle left like, hey, you could walk across the street, right? And Trent was like, yeah, I'll be fine. Walked across the street and got arrested outside his front door for public intoxication. You must have such a level of drunkness if you get arrested outside your front door for public intoxication. You must have such a level of drunkness if you get outside your front door for public intoxication. Shout out, boy, Trent.

Starting point is 00:40:02 Can't wait. Factor, great name of a't wait factor great name of the company and then great name of the products too it's like they they just got it all figured out green goddess chicken goddess on that i think of like taffeti from moana oh shit some chicken from her island yeah um roadie goes and meets the president at the airport in england and the president could tell right away he's like did you fucking pre-game with bourbon what what is on your breath do you think that's a matter of scrolls like do you think the scrolls don't get drunk like humans get drunk so that he took that like it was like apple juice and didn't even think that that's exactly what i was thinking so kind of
Starting point is 00:40:39 like with the sugar when they are just you know gravic was loading up his sugar he probably drank like half the bottle not thinking or knowing how he's supposed to drink it doesn't get drunk because of it because he's another species and he just stinks to high heaven and like what the fuck you know if you're the president and it's like again like 9 a.m and you just have this dude coming over absolutely smelling absolutely hammered even if he's not acting it you must be like this isn't good i do not feel good about this security detail right now so you make someone grab a moment they go on the police escort which i've always wanted that always seems like the coolest thing one time in my life that's on my bucket list get a police escort somewhere and not like for me necessarily like i think like
Starting point is 00:41:20 i'll be with dave one day and i'll get to be in his police escort or something it just seems awesome the roads are cleared for you. And Gravik comes around the fucking corner on a helicopter. RPGs. They got the missiles. They shoot the police escort with giant missiles. They drop down from the helicopters. Guns blazing.
Starting point is 00:41:38 They're all speaking Russian. So they think it's the Russians and everything. All out shootout. Fury and Talos arrive to provide backup because they have the liquid tracker and everything drive the Jeep through. It is an all out action scene from here on out. Like you said, we open with the romantic stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:54 We end with the action stuff. Gravik busts out the group powers at one point, just grows group arms, rip someone forward. The CGI in this whole episode is great. There's one scene that looked a little like it was a little quick the way it looked. But crazy, crazy to see a super scroll, you know, basically using the
Starting point is 00:42:13 powers. He also has the healing thing that Gala, Gala, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia had. So he's got the red healing thing, gets shot in the head and he's fine and stuff. Gravik is someone that is going to be a lot harder to deal with now. He's a problem. He's definitely a legitimate problem. The entire attack was, again, I liked it.
Starting point is 00:42:35 It almost felt muted, but you know it's like an important scene and stuff like that. Seeing Fury shoot down the helicopter I love because one of my favorite things. I love doing that in Call of Duty. Yeah, I was always that guy i'd always have the rpg as my secondary yeah yeah exactly by the way i saw um i saw a commercial they have uh what's her name the girl the girl starlight they have starlight and call of duty they're adding three starlight black noir homelander which i think is crazy i didn didn't realize Call of Duty was going to be like that. I don't know how they're going to add them. Fortnite, I know they add fun characters and stuff,
Starting point is 00:43:10 but what happens in Call of Duty? Do you have to shoot them out of the sky and stuff? Do you play as them? They have powers, too. Yeah, I think you play as them. And it seemed like they had powers, which, hey, as someone that loves the boys, there's nothing I'd love more to do than be some of these guys. Yeah, it just feels like we've got enough. Hey, we might have to go another direction with call duty because i cannot
Starting point is 00:43:27 play the game if it's just regular call i need to be homelander to have a chance against these like 12 year olds that are just fucking you're even at this point oh i reached that point like two call of duty games ago damn oh damn if i if i hop on like day of release i could at least get enough idiots like me and you where I know I'm killing those people. If I hop on the week after release, all of those people have learned every nook and cranny of the game. And I'll join a game, go 0-24, throw my computer at the wall, and just be like, I'll never play that again. So I should go on right now because when did that come out? In November, the last one?
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah. In October, November. Go on and just see if I could just like even shoot like just land one bullet just no no not a kill no land a bullet like get a negative like take one percent off somebody's health and see if I could do that I probably have have not a chance in hell so I I thought that was very cool uh the um but yeah the whole like battle scene The Groot stuff Did you feel I felt offended when he used Groot Don't you use my sweet Groot's powers
Starting point is 00:44:31 Anyone else, I'd almost be fine with But Groot is so pure And nice, it felt weird Seeing him of all people Even if you used Rocket or Gamora Kind of powers, whatever, maybe Drax Even though it's strength It would feel okay because they have a little bit of like darkness in their soul big sweet Groot it's
Starting point is 00:44:49 like the state buff marshmallow man being used to destroy New York City it just felt fucking wrong on every level Groots are a boy it's like watching a kid use like if someone stole AJ's baseball bat and like you're at a baseball game you watch watch someone else use that. And you're like, that's fucking AJ's bad. No way. No. So Talos gets shot and he's trying to help the president now. And he's trying to get the president out of there. And then a fake graphic picks him up to help him out. We just see a soldier be like, hey, I'll help you out. Stand up. Fury turns around, sees this.
Starting point is 00:45:21 He knows right away that it's fake. He's like, drop him, drop him, drop him. Graphic stabs Talos, just stabs him right in the chest and i don't think he has any super scroll powers so he fucking kills him and fury goes he saves the president so you know it talos's sacrifice was for the president of the united states who honestly doesn't seem like a great guy he wasn't worth talos but i think my favorite character on the show is dead now, Clem. And that was the way this episode ended. We have a shocking ending to every episode so far.
Starting point is 00:45:50 This one being another shocking one, another one of the big moments that it hit for me. And again, he's my favorite character on the show, but it didn't hit as hard as it should have because I'm like, oh, like, I don't want him to die. Yeah. Bummed. It was a a bummer we had a bummer a bummer took place right in front of us but i don't know if i hated gravic more from it you know i wasn't like that motherfucker nick fury has to kill him now i was just kind of like why'd they kill him he's a great actor and we're ben mendelsohn guys again yeah yeah we're it hurts
Starting point is 00:46:21 as much that old old benny is gone from our lives as much as Talos. And then I'm looking at the scroll and I'm like, okay, is that the Talos scroll? Because this could have been a fake. Because this is the thing with the goddamn show. I never know if we don't even know what the Rhodey scroll is. Boy, girl, doesn't have a gender, whatever it may be. And now I'm like, is that even the talos scroll because even the way like the way that they build this whole nick fury talos relationship is how deep it is and how like they're like basically brothers and then nick was like i'm just gonna leave him even though he's the
Starting point is 00:46:55 president granted it felt like a little cold and like it's nick furious goal so again there's too much like confusion in my brain to really like have that moment mean something. So I'm with you. So is it RIP my dog Taylor's question mark? Are we like, I'm not a hundred percent for now. Question mark. It's like the last episode. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:16 It does feel weird as him and his daughter both come back back to back episodes. Right. I would feel probably won't do that. Maybe, maybe they save them for the final episode. It's like commissioner Gordon in the dark night where he shows up. Got you. You son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:47:24 There we brought it back to dark night i like we've kept the streak alive 38 episodes straight with a reference very well done bob uh but i and the question is i feel like talos if he dies or even if he doesn't i feel like it's like up these green guys ain't so bad this guy you know did whatever he could to save the president who i i mean it's like the worst kept secret right it's like that the president's on his way out yeah so so that's that's weird now as far as roadie being a scroll goes i saw a tweet go kind of viral had like 17 000 likes when i saw it where they were pointing out that the reveal of him as a scroll doesn't feel like it was done to service his character it feels like it was just done to have a shock and a twist in this show and i did agree with
Starting point is 00:48:11 that like it wasn't a thought that came to mind organically for me but when i read that i was like that is true like how long has he been a scroll did he see tony stark die was he at tony stark's funeral was he talking to sam wilson in falcon and the winter soldier was that a scroll like what does this do for roadie's character that will make it worth it in the end i don't know yeah i don't i don't even know how i feel i'm just happy it's over like the guessing game yeah it's like he seemed like he was a scroll he's a scroll uh there was i think someone said with the android phone green green bubbles, right? And then there was, I think, a green sign above him.
Starting point is 00:48:48 And he called Fury Nick when he fired him. Yep, yep. So there was a lot of writing on the wall. I'm just happy it's over with at this point. I don't have to second-guess myself. Sure, third-guess myself. So next week, we get the penultimate afterwards, the finale, obviously.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited excited i'm hoping that the final two episodes kind of do what i thought this episode would do and then they kick it into that high gear i don't think we're gonna get the and or type rise that we talked about and or we felt it like midway through that show we were like all right people are talking about this now we're halfway we're more than halfway through this one and people are still not talking about it but you know what it's it's our uh best kept secret over here in the basement yep yep we're all we're all having uh and to be fair a lot of people have been like hey guys appreciate you guys going in on this like we're watching it together so shout out to all of us
Starting point is 00:49:38 there's dozens of us dozens right we're all going through it together no fault of our own no fault of our own and hey like when that goddamn after credit scene comes on after episode six and every the whole world's going crazy about it just shows up yeah it's like oh you like them we'll name everyone on the team like you're gonna have to tell me what happened in episode two what's the name of uh nick fury's wife's favorite poem you don't know do you well you're not a real you're not a real secret invasion fan people gonna be like nick fury's married um now a show that everyone is talking about is the bear and i mean everyone's talking about the bear yesterday in the office we were talking about shows i recommended it to dave he hadn't heard of it and then big cat immediately walked over was like you watching the bear yet and dave was like no everyone's talking to me about it
Starting point is 00:50:24 it's amazing season two i'm not done with it yet as i mentioned in the beginning clem finished And then Big Cat immediately walked over. He's like, you watching the bear yet? And Dave was like, no, everyone's talking to me about it. It's amazing. Season two. I'm not done with it yet. As I mentioned in the beginning, Clem finished all of season two. He binged it pretty quickly. I have binged up to episode seven. So I've watched one through seven.
Starting point is 00:50:37 I've just got eight, nine, and ten to go. Last night, I watched six and seven, one after the other. The two that everyone's been talking about. And everyone's been hyping them up to such a level that I was a little afraid that it wasn't gonna hit for me and my god they hit for me both of them did i don't know which one i liked better six being a chaotic almost that anxiety inducing bear style seven being more of a wholesome like grounded calm calm episode, but man, I love that actor that plays the guy in, in seven. So seeing him have the moments that he had, I'm trying not to spoil it.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Cause we'll do a full podcast about the bear season. All right. Listen, spoilers. We can like talk a little about it. We're going to have a little, a little combo. Bob hasn't finished the season yet.
Starting point is 00:51:18 And we were going to do a, cause I do think that six and seven could be like its own good conversation. Yeah. But I think we could do a whole pod about it, to be honest with you. And maybe we'll see if a couple other people who've watched it have would love to hop on. And I I've gone searching for Bear podcast the last like after I watched the season and finished it. I found like three different podcasts where they talk to different people with the bear.
Starting point is 00:51:42 And I was engaged the whole time. So I'm like, oh, we can do this in the basement for an episode i feel like that could work you know so spoilers for episode seven seeing him go from i don't give a fuck about this you're putting me with the forks like you're sending me i'm doing this this is a punishment like i can't believe i'm at the bottom of the totem pole so then he gets that call from the x and like from that moment on it's like he's so depressed that listen i gotta send myself into something a hundred percent like just dive into it and he dives into it he gets humbled he has that conversation with chef terry olivia coleman from secret invasion to kind of tie everything in together there i saw that the same day as her
Starting point is 00:52:22 secret invasion appearance where she's torturing yeah and i was like i was like wait a second i'm like did i just see this action i'm like oh my god i was like she just put on a fucking a tour de force from fucking two different completely different roles and shows it was incredible she's she's amazing olivia coleman is like one of those people you could put in any role and you know that she's gonna give it her best her 100 but that and then the christmas episode is such a oh my god chaotic della bella christmas basically where it was you know you get those vibes and from the way they shoot the show to the soundtrack both make it so elevated like
Starting point is 00:53:00 if you had a worse cinematographer and music supervisor on the show, I don't know if it would be as good. But everything just – this show just falls into place like a puzzle where it's so perfect. The Coach K stuff even. Like I'm not a basketball guy. I don't give a shit about Coach K. But it works so perfectly in this season that it's like, god damn. I love the – I'm going to butcher her name. Ayo Ebadairi or something. She'sidaire or something she's she's the the partner
Starting point is 00:53:28 karm's partner in the show she's so good in this karm is so good in this um even when you go to the flashback and is it michael the original owner of the uh restaurant oh my god everyone in this show is so fucking good it's a 10 out 10, even better than season one so far. 10 out of 10. Uh, an episode six is where this ramped up for to me and then seven. And then the, the,
Starting point is 00:53:53 is it 10 episodes long? Right. I think so. Yeah. So by the end, it's like, all right. And then everything,
Starting point is 00:54:00 you know, without giving it away, I don't think it's wrapped up by any means. Um, but you're just like, fuck, I can't wait for season three to come out now. But season episodes five, six and seven were I think two of the best episodes of the season.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I heard about six a lot, Fishes. And I had heard all these people talking about Fishes, this and that. And then when we saw it, I told my wife, I was like, I heard this is a really good episode. We watched it. I was, I loved it, obviously. It's like, oh, it's an absolute anxiety fest,
Starting point is 00:54:25 you know? And you're just waiting for something bad to happen the entire time. And it's ramping up. Like you said, the soundtrack is incredible. And I think the, uh, obviously the showrunner for it, I think he personally chose all this stuff out and they're really good with music. Even like for the next couple episodes, you'll see the same kind of thing. And then I had heard a few people say they like seven
Starting point is 00:54:45 more and then i watched seven i'm like fuck it's a completely different show and it hits just as well man and now the only thing i think of is like i gotta go to one of these fucking michelle and star right i've never had any interest i thought that last night and oh my god we gotta go together we gotta go together we gotta go to boy strip has to be with like the most lax dress code possible because there's no way i'm getting dressed up in a fancy suit i mean we do this every week at barstool i feel like we're sending people to the nicest restaurant they just eat bread but i will not be doing that i also have to find a menu i'm a little bit of a picky eater like i'm not gonna eat caviar and escargot no me neither i need to eat like give me an italian meal and anything
Starting point is 00:55:21 but like just the whole vibe of that restaurant. And it's so cool just learning about the restaurant industry through the show. And I've heard through people like this is they hit on so many things that typical shows wouldn't do from people that have actually opened restaurants. And you're just like, man, that's the that was my biggest takeaway from season one. And now season two, I wouldn't last a minute in the restaurant industry. A minute. And you were what were you? You were the boy at a chip wait on the border yeah and i had my hectic days in the in the kitchen you know when it's friday night saturday night nothing like this where you actually
Starting point is 00:55:55 have the responsibility of making shit and everything oh i can't imagine that but we did use all the verbiage the corner corner corner corner behind behind we didn't call each other chef would i would have liked that they probably would have thought it was funny if i was a 16 year old 17 year old chip boy being like behind chef and this is young robbie without the long hair the the long hair gives you a little bit of like prestige to you this one would have been a lot funnier though uh if it had been different did you know fac from the show who's got all the tattoos, hand tattoos? You know he's like a world-renowned chef?
Starting point is 00:56:27 Yep. So I was going to save that for the whole bear thing, but I'm happy you brought it in. I didn't know if you had heard of it yet. So he's like a legend. Isn't that so cool? And I think that's so awesome, man. I love that. And he's like not a character in the show that has anything to do with like the food and like making the, you know.
Starting point is 00:56:41 It's so funny that they gave him that role. But they probably lean on him as well, where if they have a question, he's a world-renowned chef. Go right to the guy on set and be like, hey, how should we do this? How should we plate this? There you go.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Also, the family episode, which was Fish's. I had no idea that Jamie Lee Curtis was in it. I knew Sarah Paulson was in it. I knew Bob Odenkirk was in it. I knew John Mulaney was in it, just from people tweeting about it i love jamie lee curtis i'm a big halloween fan john carpenter halloween fan i tweeted last night i take that some people were upset about but after watching fishes oh i stand by this a thousand percent stand by it jamie lee curtis is the actress that people
Starting point is 00:57:21 like to pretend that meryl streep is. She is unbelievable in this episode. Even in the Halloween movies that aren't great, Jamie Lee Curtis is always very good. She's always very enjoyable. She has the range from fucking Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan to this episode of The Bear, where she is just ready to explode at any moment. And then the ending of the episode with the fork, throwing the forks.
Starting point is 00:57:48 You have to fucking know he's throwing that final fork when he has it and he john mulaney's given the uh prayer and he's like he still has that fork in his hand doesn't he and they're like yep he does and i pray he has the strength not to throw that fork so good so good and that episode was i think an hour and six minutes it was the longest episode of the bear but i i didn't look at the runtime beforehand and when it ended i was like that was a little longer right like 40 minutes and then i looked at it was an hour and six flew by yeah i re-watched so i like i said i watched um last of us with sienna over like the last week or so and i re-watched these two episodes six and seven because i was like i want to watch it knowing it's so much better to watch fishes knowing what happens because i thought jamie lee was going to blow
Starting point is 00:58:29 her brains out i that's so i was afraid of that and the music does a good job of ramping it all up and you pick up on so many little lines you know the um dynamics of the friendship and the family going into it and it helps a lot and it's i don't want to say it's better the second time but it's like more enjoyable the second time because you don't have all that kind of shit and i guess like and even like the way uh mike michael axe when he gets the picture of the bear and he knows it's never going to happen because you know karm doesn't realize it's like he's falling apart behind the scenes that's like super heartbreaking the boyfriend uh what's her name's boyfriend should's boyfriend and it's it's that poor guy man he's always trying to do right by that family and they just freak out hey fishes are you fucking crazy are you fucking crazy don't
Starting point is 00:59:16 don't fucking let her see it don't even let her see it i can't believe you would do this and i am truly i am truly so blessed like as far as i tell, my family holidays were never anything close to that, but I know there are plenty of people that that's what Christmas would be like or Thanksgiving. The whole Thanksgiving arguing about politics, that joke never truly landed with me, but it sounds like Bob was – I mean, we never got hostile. The family parties never got hostile where people are yelling at each other like that, but the chaos of it and the screaming, get out of the kitchen while timers going off and everything.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Oh, that I could relate to the Della Bellas. They're all talking with their hands. Yeah, exactly. I love this show. I love and I love, again, episode six and seven kind of just it's hitting the star in Mario. Yeah. And now, you know, i think the last few episodes you're gonna it makes you appreciate even more like even like the filter that they use on that
Starting point is 01:00:09 episode yeah it's like a little more yeah you get that flashback vibe right away i was losing my goddamn mind too because i couldn't play sarah paulson like i fucking know this actress and i don't know what she's she's great too she's awesome and everything she's one of those actors that is never bad and it was very weird to have Bob Odenkirk be kind of like the prick. It's not his thing, and he crushes it like he always does. He was great. Such a good show. I saw you tweet and blog that Eastbound and Down the first season
Starting point is 01:00:37 should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I think the Bear, at least the first two seasons, should be given a Michelin star. I like that i like the boys in chicago gotta work on getting that done for it's an honorary star you know yep and i'm pretty i i think i tweeted this out pretty sure it's season one there was like the barstool logo was in the background of one of them it was so it's like this is this is i consider this show a friend so yeah give this show a michelin star like i can see eddie getting a
Starting point is 01:01:03 cameo no doubt eddie just walking in ordering something you know getting a takeout and he's the guy we getting the beef through the drive-thru he's not going to the michelin through the window yeah now before we end this podcast i did want to bring this up we got a tweet from one of our listeners and they they said oh my god i'm just cracking up trying to to imagine Robbie and Clem trying to do the Barbenheimer day, Barbie and Oppenheimer. You said, I'm in. I said, I'm in. Are we doing this? Are we doing Barbenheimer?
Starting point is 01:01:31 Two movies, one day? I'm in. I'm in. We have to make it work because I don't know if I'll be around on that Saturday, but we have to find a day that if we find a day that works, I'm in. I also have to figure out what do we have to go Barb and Heimer? Is that the way to go in terms of the – So I've seen a lot of people doing the opposite.
Starting point is 01:01:50 I think you go Oppenheimer into Barbie because Oppenheimer is going to leave you devastated, and Barbie will lift your spirit a little bit. Okay. Okay. Now, if we do this, I'm going to be honest. I think I got to go see Oppenheimer in a suit, and I got to go see Barbie in like a pink shirt. I think if we're doing it, we got to do it. Do it right. suit and I got to go see Barbie in like a pink shirt. I think if we're doing it, we got to do it,
Starting point is 01:02:06 do it, do it right. Okay. I'm not saying you have to wear a suit. I don't want to make you wear a suit, but at least dress dress shirts. I will dress up for Oppenheimer. I don't know if I have a hat.
Starting point is 01:02:16 We'll tweet black and white photos. Yes. Yeah. And well, all right, we'll see if the timing works, but it was, I had talked to you and i talked to the big
Starting point is 01:02:25 man large large and i said it was the three of us we had an oppenheimer party going and i know he beat down cigars yeah yeah exactly i have to make sure that we can um that his timing works but i know for sure if if like the day works and everything he will be down so let's fucking do it obviously we have to see oppenheimer and imax that's like uh yeah no doubt we need a picture of you and me just smoking cigs and black and white outside the movie theater like i'm picturing that i'm like that's that's worth it to do it i feel like some of the other idiots at barstool have to be doing this is anyone else doing it which is doing it for sure i know robbie guzman from lights camera barstool he's got lincoln square tickets for both i think he's got Oppenheimer at like 10 a.m.
Starting point is 01:03:05 and then Barbie at like 3 a.m. He's got early and early. We're showing. Yeah, he's going first one. He's a lunatic like that, but I love him for it. Yeah, he yeah, he fits in perfectly with the LCB boys. So that's I love it. So, all right, I'm in.
Starting point is 01:03:21 You're in. We'll see if the big man's in. Let's get fucking weird. And I was I think I was like, oh, I want to see Barbie so bad. I'm like, all right, I guess I'm going urine. We'll see if the big man's in. Let's get fucking weird. Let's I, and I was, I think I was, Sienna's like, Oh,
Starting point is 01:03:27 I want to see Barbie so bad. I'm like, all right, I guess I'm going to take it. Maybe I'll just take her to a brief. Well, I told my girlfriend that she could come to, I told my girlfriend, I was like,
Starting point is 01:03:34 you don't have to come to Oppenheimer if you want to come to Barbie. And she's like, all right, I think I'll meet you guys at Barbie. Yeah. What the fuck's wrong with you guys? Christopher Nolan's like everyone that's seen it has been left devastated. Nobody's spoken
Starting point is 01:03:45 since and you're like i'll take sienna who cares yeah you want to watch the last of us afterwards yeah we'll get a small life of us you're like next we'll watch american history x sienna check this out i'm turning her like it's like she's she's not enough like aj i'm trying to turn her into another basically making her watch all this stuff what's the hashtag for this week if they've made it to the end of the episode you want to do hashtag like Pappy you do Pappy just Pappy
Starting point is 01:04:13 you know not the Van Winkle just hashtag Pappy I bet people aren't using that hashtag so it'll come mostly to us yeah there was a few there was a few others I had that would have either been spoilers or might have been like potentially sexual nature. That wouldn't make a lot of sense. So I see spoilers is another thing for the show.
Starting point is 01:04:29 I don't even know if people care about spoilers on Twitter. Cause they're not watching it or what? Cause sometimes I want to tweet like, yo, Fury's married and Marie Hill's dead. Yeah. People don't know. You could mean the shit out of everything and no one's going to complain,
Starting point is 01:04:42 which that's the other thing about the bear. Very memeable. Very memeable. I've been seeing, see, that was the unfortunate thing of everything and no one's going to complain, which that's the other thing about the bear. Very memeable. Very memeable. So memeable. See, that was the unfortunate thing of not catching up right away is that I saw so many memes right away of like the John Mulaney stuff and the Bob Odenkirk stuff. It is what it is, though.
Starting point is 01:04:55 That's my own fault. Next week, we will be back to talk about the penultimate episode of Secret Invasion. Next week also isn't Barbenheimer, so we've got a full, like, I think two weeks before that. Oh, shit, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right?
Starting point is 01:05:06 That's the 21st. The 21st, 22nd, 23rd-ish. Because I don't know when movies even release now. 21st is a... Oh, 21st is a Friday. So it's the 20th, 21st, or 22nd, or like the three main opening days
Starting point is 01:05:22 or whatever. Thank you for tuning in. We'll be back next week. Hopefully you will will be too and hopefully you won't be a scroll
