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.
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,
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.
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.
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

Now let's get back into the Secret Invasion recap.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
to hear the sound check, get your ticket on your phone,
text your friends, and be like,
you don't have to be the lunatics that show up early.
Skip the hassle. 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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
Smith is a TV show.
Did you hear about that?
Yeah.
And I don't like it around me.
Like Jersey.
Oh,
really?
Yeah.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I got Factor coming next week.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
is it 10 episodes long?
Right.
I think so.
Yeah.
So by the end,
it's like,
all right.
And then everything,
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.
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,
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
or whatever.
