Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube,

Hello, and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by Barstool Sports. I am your host,
Robbie Fox, back with my co-host, Clem, for another Free Swim Nerd News edition of the show
for Friday, March 8th. And it's a holiday. We'll get into why it's a holiday at the end of the
podcast, but we're just going to tease it for people. We're not going to let them know why
till the end. How are we doing Clem? Should we do the hashtag mystery holiday now? We'll just
throw that out there. I think you have a mystery holiday. If you listen to the end, we're declaring
March 8th, a national holiday from this point forward. I'm good bob i i do feel like uh wally pip though um you had
i hey people other people come in the basement that's fine but you had a guy come in the basement
who not only was like waxing poetic about a nerd movie but also made four buckets of large popcorn
at the movie i feel like portland was coming from my fucking seat of the baser right now what the
fuck is this man four buckets which apparently i didn't see this part of the unnamed show today but
he clarified that it was four bags so it wasn't buckets they gave him still a large bag i guess
but it still to eat four bags of popcorn in one sitting of a movie you have to be just continuously
shoveling your face full of popcorn respect to you
that's like big time respect in the movie game big all the respect in the world for that and
did did uh did he say if he went butter every time oh i don't know that's a good question because the
the way he described it it sounds like it almost an alamo draft house deal where
they bring the popcorn to you. Yeah. The thing is,
if it's in a bag,
if it's just bagged up,
they'd have to open up to put the butter.
There's a lot of questions.
I'm going to have to break this down with him myself,
but like in the bag thing that I'm like,
is that a rich person thing or a Florida thing?
Right.
Cause there's two potential things there.
So,
uh,
but,
uh,
it,
it,
it's good to be back here.
I'm going to have to like,
we're going to have to get the same numbers as a podcast with Dave. And of course jeff d low on it so we have a workout for us bob you know what
movie theaters should do if they want to make even more money than they make put a popcorn bag
leaderboard in the lobby and it's like you know dave ate four bags during dune two and that'll
be his you know high score Someone has to go break it.
To break it, you've got to spend $120 on popcorn.
It's crazy.
This isn't a bad idea, Bob, at all.
Think about this.
We're going to save the movie industry.
Jeff D. Lowe is going to like this.
Tom Cruise is going to be coming in his pants when he hears this idea.
We're going to get Tom in the basement just because we're saving the movie theater.
We do bags of popcorn.
We do movies watched.
We do hours watched. Ices? ices yes ices of course and it's all linked to your little like uh you know well
like if you have a stubs account or something yeah and you have to obviously get the highest
stubs account to even make the leaderboard and then person on the leaderboard i mean you don't
just get a free movie you don't just get a free someone sucks your dick we're just gonna say
you no no no even better you get to fuck one of the dune popcorn i was gonna say it's a glory
hole though you put your dick in the dune bucket and something's gonna happen on the other side
you don't know what but something will happen yep and of course we're using some warm butter
right around there that's gonna make it extra special for you.
All right.
We fixed it.
If this doesn't get us three minutes into the podcast, people must be shell shocked right now.
Like, oh, my God, they went there that quickly.
All the new listeners were like, oh, Dave was on this.
Let's check out and see what the other guy talks about.
Yeah, we're fucking doing popcorn buckets.
Three minutes.
Yeah, that's what we do sometimes here in the basement.
I truly like this idea, though, Bob. I'm so i think it's good a concessions leaderboard and
like you know you could hang dave's miss peaches hoodie in the rafters after a performance like
that when he puts down ford's like all right we're retiring this thing oh i we need dave
to meet that kid that like was spinning the buckets on his hand as he was doing the popcorn
and that went viral that's like two greats and and dave called it popcorn will for always make
me smile the best people a lot of people i feel like still don't realize that's why pup punk is
called pup punk because of the way he says popcorn and that's like one of my favorite little things
also maybe like youtube you know when you hit a hundred thousand subscribers they send you a plaque
maybe if you hit it like a hundred buckets bought a certain theater, you get like a gold bucket.
Gold dune bucket laced with butter.
Something like that.
Yeah.
We got a bunch of random kind of all over the place news this week.
And I'm going to tell you early, Clem, we're going to get my rant out of the way right up front.
Give it to me.
I like it when you're fresh and we get
the angry Bob dad voice
coming out. I like hearing it.
You're going to get it and it's going to piss a large
faction of people off
but tell you what, I'm pissed off.
I'm a little bit pissed off all day. I've been a little irked.
Zack Snyder went
on the Joe Rogan experience
this week and he had a bunch
of kind of all over the place
comments i don't really even know where to start he said essentially the the second dc told him
like you know batman killing is not a thing that we do like it's kind of canon that he doesn't kill
he's like well the first thing that i wanted to do when i heard that was and he kind of like
signaled to rogan like have
him fucking kill and he was saying you know you're protecting your god in a very weird way if you
don't want to put batman in that position where he has to kill like sometimes he gets put in that
position frank miller's the dark knight returns which by the way is probably my favorite batman
comic ever i love frank miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
And Zack Snyder's version of Batman is very much kind of a copy and paste
of that version of Batman.
The issue is that Frank Miller's story
is kind of written to be like a final Batman story.
Like Batman at the end of his life,
at the end of his run,
you're seeing spoilers for that
comic book that came out in the 80s the death of the joker you're seeing an ending of sorts in a
lot of ways zack snyder started at that point and that's an elseworlds type batman like mutants and
carrie kelly's robin it's out there it weird. And it works because you have all of the Batman that came before it.
So it's,
it's like a different version.
It's an elseworlds.
You're like,
Oh my God,
I can't believe this version of Batman exists.
It works when you have a normal Batman to go back to though,
a Batman that follows Batman's number one character trait,
like his morals,
Zack Snyder,
just being like, I think he fucking should kill that pisses me off so much Glenn because like we talked about it we did the
Keaton uh commentary with my brother he kills in those like there's a couple moments where Keaton's
Batman fucking kills it's crazy murder legit murder but they kind of treat it like it's nothing
it's not treated as like in your face check it out he's
killing now he's using guns and killing and deal with it and the way zach snyder talks about it
seems like such a like fuck you we're gonna do what we want because i'm zach snyder it's like
bro who fucking gave you the keys to the dc universe i know somebody did at some point
but after hearing him talk about these characters,
it truly sounds like he has like a fundamental misunderstanding of who
people want to see as Batman.
I get it.
He wants to do his other thing.
When he pitched that to DC,
they should have been like,
we'll let you write a comic or do an animated movie where Batman's,
you know,
killing and doing fucked up shit.
The main Batman should not be that version of Batman at the end of his
life.
I could go on and on Clemba.
I'm going to let you have the floor.
How did you feel about this?
Obviously,
I mean,
you don't have the frigging Batman tattoo,
but like you're a Batman guy.
When you see Zack Snyder say this,
does it,
does it piss you off at all?
Or are you just like,
ah,
whatever it is.
I mean,
first of all,
I'm a Superman guy. You know that Bob i'm a guy so i just see you little bat people getting all your
panties in a bunch right batman's wears panties over his little cute little outfit that's what
you wear no my guy wears underwear that's right um anyway i mean i saw that and i was like i think
he's just trolling at this point i I think he's like, you know what?
Maybe he's trying to like shoo the DC fans off of him once and for all and be like, get you fucking weirdos away from me and stop bothering me.
And the only way I could do that is by saying shit.
It's like, um, like when, if you're like, uh, what movie was that?
It's, uh, it's, it's one of the movies where the guy is trying to let the dog get out.
He's like, get out of here.
I don't want you.
He's basically just doing it so the dog doesn't come back to him, right?
He's basically doing that to get these fucking people that made him their god
to just be like, get the fuck out of here.
Because I saw, I knew you were pissed about it.
I saw Castellani.
He reblogged it.
And I could feel the anger coming through the words.
And I'm like, oh, the bad people are having themselves a day right now.
So in the end, I with you 100%. Fucking stupid.
Fucking ridiculous.
Also, the fact he had, like, I feel like when people go on Rogue and they try to, like, be cool and a little edgy.
And, like, I think that was his version of the bat.
I mean, that's Zack Snyder 101 trying to be cool and edgy.
Yes. Oh, do you guys hear this 101 trying to be cool and edgy. Yes!
Oh, do you guys hear this in his voice right now?
It is.
It's like everything he said was, it was just so, like, not like, yeah, I thought it might be interesting to, like, have Batman explore a darker path.
It was like, no, of course he's got to kill.
You're making him irrelevant if you don't have him kill in 2023.
It's like, oh.
It really, and he also said he's like, the one comic book movie i would come back and do is the dark knight returns
it's like bro you did like 30 of that book in batman versus superman he he like shot for shot
like he recreated a bunch of bar for bar word for word and i liked it too like i liked that about
batman for superman i don't even hate what Zack Snyder did with Batman.
I just hate the way he talks about it.
Like his Batman, Batfleck, I think Batfleck was pretty fucking good.
Obviously, I would prefer him not to kill and use guns in the way he does.
But come on, that warehouse scene where he's fucking beating people like Arkham City Batman.
It's amazing.
There's a lot of cool stuff that he did with Batman.
Cool stuff he did with Bruce Wayne running into the into the metropolis you know disaster that superman caused but even superman
like in man of steel he's like what if we have superman have to kill he just wants to kill at
all times he wants to be edgy and the other thing he said about batman he's like the coolest thing
about my batman you know bat flex seeing him in suit, he has an extra layer of muscle and he's six two and we put Affleck in the stilt. So he's, you know, even larger than that. He's like Batman.
He's just this genetic monster. He's just genetically gifted. He's this freak. He's
describing him like Scott Steiner. Like I've never heard anyone describe Batman. Like that's not what
we like about Batman. Yes. Batfleck looks cool and hulking and imposing.
That's not like why people love Batman, though.
I would say one of the reasons people love Batman is because he doesn't kill.
That's like one of the first things I ever learned about Batman. It's like this guy's Batman.
His parents died when he was little, so he doesn't use guns or kill.
And he also dresses like a bat.
Like that comes after that.
And his name's Batman. It's a cool name. comes after that and it's his name's batman
it's a cool name he has cool gadgets right he's a detective great alfred robin yeah you start
learning it but like the killing thing is like that's like the first defining character trait
about batman he's not the only superhero who doesn't kill but he's the only superhero whose
entire character personality story arcs are based around the fact that he doesn't kill but he's the only superhero whose entire character personality story arcs are
based around the fact that he doesn't kill yes uh it would be like spider-man feeling like he
doesn't have responsibility to the people around him right it's it's yeah it is there's eggs there's
milk there's flour it's a core ingredient you can't be taking one of the core ingredients out
and call it a cake you just can't do it you can the core ingredients out and call it a cake. You just can't do it. You can't do it.
You can call it a cake, but it's like a bullshit deacon cake that no one wants to eat.
You can make that.
He's a pizzeria calling Dave Portnoy for a pizza review, but he made a tomato pie, no cheese.
And it's like, listen, this is good.
And like, I would like it on maybe a random day here or there, but this isn't like what we came here for.
So, Bob, you bring up i'm looking
up the stairs to make sure i don't get in trouble here my wife one time you're making homemade pizza
and she made she put cheddar as the cheese and i said so why did you put cheddar on did you
not use like do we not have mozzarella she said no i just didn't really think of the difference i'm
like that that that's not pizza and to this day, it's by far, as you see, I keep looking at this seriously.
I feel like she's just going to murder me for bringing this up.
But, like, that's the thing.
It would be like, yeah, but Batman, he kills in my little universe.
It's like, no, no, it's mozzarella, not cheddar.
It's not killing versus killing.
Two very different things there.
So, yeah, that's no point
i think at this point he's just trying to piss you guys off so you stop because it's like every
movie he comes out with it's gonna probably get brought up every movie dc comes up with he's
gonna get brought up and he's probably just sick and tired because we're sick of it just reading
it seeing it online imagine living it and dealing with these people even if they're your fan base
too in the rogan interview he like He did defend the fan base too.
In the Rogan interview, he kind of defended his fan base.
People call him toxic, but they've raised all this money for charity,
anti-suicide prevention stuff, and that's amazing.
Nobody's taking that away from them.
The way they behave online is crazy.
It's like mob mentality with them.
As I'm thinking of this, don't I have a picture of me being like,
released a Snyder Cup before I knew what it was?
I've looked for that.
I think someone cleared that, wiped it from the internet or something.
I haven't been able to find it.
Oh, thank God.
That was great.
Someone just handed Clem like a protest sign and they were like,
march with this.
And he's just too nice to say no.
So he's like, all right.
I didn't even look up the sign.
And then it was
like at cleverport from barstool sports they're like oh we got barstool in on it supports the
snyder yeah barstool signs off on the snyder cut i think i was i said something like this isn't like
anything like that's hurting kids or anything here they're like no no no no man it's fine it's
just a compliment okay cool and i just get in line yeah god damn it not it. Not good. So, yeah, big problem.
He knew what he was doing with this, though.
I'm I'm I'm woke to Zack Snyder.
He's what is he promoting next?
What's his next thing?
Because I know is.
Well, that brings up his next ridiculous statement from the podcast.
Clem.
I think he's promoting the Snyder cut of Rebel Moon.
Part one.
The new like he's pitched it as a Star Wars movie.
They said no. So he pitched it as a star wars movie they said no so
he did it as netflix whatever he suggested that rebel moon has been seen by more people than barbie
he was like yeah if you look at the netflix numbers like says 90 billion people have watched
it so it must be true like more people have seen that than barbie probably now i will admit on this
one i haven't seen the clip of him saying this
i don't know what context it's set in i've just seen the quotes all over the internet today
if he's even suggesting there's a chance rebel moon has been seen by half of the people that
have seen barbie he's delulu what are we talking about there's been no barbie there's been no rebel
moon memes jokes discourse anything on the internet i heard
from maybe like one or two people that it was good to bad i heard like i think someone told me it was
good and then and then i think ken jack told me it was really bad and jeff told me it was really bad
i think i heard from three total people about that movie that watched it it has not been seen by i would say even a quarter of
the people that have seen barbie it's crazy the only thing worse than having a bunch of people
say your movie is bad is only being able to find three people that have seen your movie that are
able to weigh in on it and that's not here i know more people who saw barbie on the flight i was on
the last time i flew then i know who saw rebel move just to let
you and like i'm talking literally the row in front of me four of the six people in the row
in front of me we're watching barbie so that out that trumps the rebel however i do appreciate
especially in this like slow boil you've worked yourself into saying that like we don't know the
context here because i mean the
fucking aggregators ourselves included always take the quotes and don't really look at the clips or
you have to one thing is watching the clip another thing is to then watch like five minutes before
after and getting the whole context of the conversation uh nonetheless though uh we're
not maybe rogan got him high you know like rogan smokes weed on the podcast maybe he was just like there's a chance more people have seen my shit than barbie i will say i'll say this
too when i hear a guy on rogan i just think of elon musk smoking like oh that picture of him he's
like making like a weird rock eyebrow face yeah and i just roll my eyes i'm like i fucking hate
this like if kfc was on it because i know he just met rogan the other day i'd be like oh this fucking asshole and i love kevin but it's
like i just think of him doing the fucking elon musk smoking weed face and i'm like oh this
fucking jerk all right let's move on to much better news much more uplifting news much funnier
news i don't want to i like that voice i like the bob voice you had it going it was
fresh you weren't worn down from a whole podcast you were coming in hot i want yeah i wanted to
come at it fresh i was like this is gonna be my round one you know i'm not coming into this round
five like this is right off the bat i gotta get my best stuff out if batman kills joker wins like
that's the first thing let's just make yes no martha wayne the whole wayne family from heaven
are looking down in horror at what their sons become he's become a villain you're the same as
the criminals yes exactly this is a problem he spends like all of the batman finding that out
and then he's another one where it's like robert pattinson and christian that rogan actually pushed
back when he was talking about how large batman is and how batman has to be a large guy rogan was like i don't know i like christian bale as batman he's like yeah but he was
5 10 it's like nobody had an issue with that dude batman can he can be 5 10 he could be 6 foot
robert pattinson is kind of a weird like lanky he's now bulked up obviously for the role but he's
he's not a bodybuilder bat Batman does not have to be Superman.
It sounds like what you want him to be is Superman.
Does not need to be Bat Papa Pump.
That's what he wants him to essentially be.
Bat Papa Pump. But I think the Bat suit is like the rest of the Bat gadgets,
where it makes him look bigger, more imposing.
When you see Bale in Dark Knight for the first time,
and he's fighting those dudes in the parking garage,
and he's just like, and he's fucking with the boys too and he has the black makeup to make it you know
all black it's supposed to intimidate you it's not supposed to be he takes the suit off and he's
fucking he's gonna go play power forward for the fucking nuggets that night no he trained with the
league of shadows or assassins depending on which story you read or watch and it's like he's a
martial artist that's
like what batman is like all right we're moving on to better things i said we're moving on to
better things i i'll admit i just brought that back up to see if i get the voice out of you one
last time that was the only reason i brought it back um this took over my week on twitter i could
not get enough cerveza cristal star wars memes, if you weren't aware, took over Twitter.
It was from the first airing of Star Wars on television in Chile in 2003.
Someone found like a VHS recording, it looks like, and they re-put in the American audio over the dub.
Ads were integrated into the movie by the chilean television i guess the
television provider instead of cutting to commercials they have inserted scenes to the
movie where characters just grab a beer called a cerveza cristal and it is laugh out loud funny
like obi-wan telling luke like your father wanted you to have this.
He opens the chest, reaches in for the lightsaber, but it's just a bunch of Cerveza Cristal on ice.
He takes it out.
It's like Cerveza Cristal.
It's a little jingle.
And then it just goes right back into the movie.
The Emperor is like using the force to grab one during the throne room confrontation.
Obi-Wan is sneaking one as Luke has has the visor on there are so many scenes i need to see the full versions of these
movies because i'm sure there's a lot more that haven't hit the internet yet but then the internet
did what the internet does and they put it in every movie so they put like the end of seven
what's in the box cerveza crist crystal they did dune hand in the box
the first one it takes the hand out and there's a cerveza crystal i saw one this morning of the
lego movie where like is it emmett the main character he fucking grabs one off the shelf
and he's like looking at a lego version of it this just it truly if you didn't see it you got
to look this up on twitter x whatever the fuck they call it now it'll make
your day if you're a star wars fan because it's so ridiculous and obviously low budget but you
know whoever did this had a fucking blast doing it i this video or these videos occasionally get
them every three to six months where it's like this is why i go on the internet go on twitter
we don't call it we do not call it
x in the basement we will never call i'm the only people i hate more than people that call it x
are the people that call it x formerly known as twitter it's oh yeah it's not prince yes it will
be twitter until i die or it dies to me and i will not go any other way about it because i
will not okay i think of that stupid ass picture that idiot
smoking weed and i'm just like i am not letting this man tell me what to call twitter i fucking
i think i dislike elon musk i really do anyway that video though god bless whoever found it
and unearthed it i know i'm like what the fuck how much longer how many how many more layers do
we have deep dig down and then i i only saw the dune one
i saw the dune one and i was just cackling so i'm gonna have to go online and find it i actually i
should have blogged it when i first saw the first cut of it and i but i wouldn't have even known
that the entire the internet just started just going through all these movies and stuff like
that oh tremendous it's a must all right All right. To the people watching, to the people listening, must watch.
This is hashtag must watch.
You got to find it.
I did a blog.
If you want to find it easy, go on Barstool, click on my blogger name and scroll down.
I put a bunch of memes at the bottom.
So if you scroll through those, like I put probably a dozen at least.
Did you blog this story?
Yeah.
Oh, shit. I didn't even see it so i mean go to
bobby's blog then we're good i that's this is what i'm gonna do i put all the star wars clips i put
the dune clip we're talking about any of the clips you're looking for you can find on barstool these
are the clips you're looking for yes oh yeah we got simpsons ones too oh this is tremendous oh yeah the simpsons one was good
it was it was like there used to be cerveza cristal in this movie and it's like yeah all
right like we told you like knock it off so good so good um this i i actually found very
interesting this quote dakota johnson has commented on madame webb's backlash and she
basically said
she understands why it was ripped to shreds. And I want to read the full quote because
it's pretty insightful. The interviewer said, does it bother you when people write nasty reviews?
And immediately she knew we're talking about Madam Web here. She said, unfortunately,
I'm not surprised that this has gone down the way it has. And she said, the interviewer says,
is there a reason for that?
And Dakota Johnson says,
it's so hard to get movies made.
And in these big movies that get made,
it's even starting to happen with the little ones,
which is really freaking me out.
Decisions are being made by committees
and art does not do well when it's made by committee.
Films are made by a filmmaker
and a team of artists around them.
You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms.
My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart and executives have started to believe that they're not audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit even if films are
start starting to be made with ai humans aren't going to fucking want to see those love her thrown
in the fucking she's getting into it you know know, she says, but it was definitely experienced for me to make that movie.
I've never done anything like it before.
I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't have,
I don't make sense in that world.
And now I know that,
but sometimes in this industry,
you sign onto something and it's one thing.
And then as you're making it,
it becomes a completely different thing.
And you're like,
wait,
what?
But it was a real learning experience.
And of course, it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds but i can't say i don't understand that is kind of like the best quote she could have on the entire thing i
feel like where she's like yeah i signed on to it i wanted to take a shot it completely got taken
over by studio execs that we know the sony live action execs don't know what the fuck they're doing.
I still think there's a chance she thought she was signing on to an MCU movie, her and Sidney Sweeney both.
Like between her being like, I asked Elizabeth Olsen for help.
What it's like entering this world.
And Sidney Sweeney being like, yeah, I watched the Avengers movies growing up with my brother all the time.
I can't wait to join this universe.
And they both
said things where it's like you could be referring to superhero movies but i think you're referring
to the mcu and i think your agents might have promised you like yeah down the line you'll
cross over with tom holland spider-man i don't think that's gonna happen i don't think we're
gonna see a madame webb sequel sydney sweeney even like kind of made a light-hearted stab at it on snl during her monologue she was like i'm sydney
sweeney you might have seen me in anyone but you or euphoria you definitely didn't see me in madame
webb and the audience got a big kick out of it so it's like you know they're not heartbroken over it
the checks cashed and they're like all right you know that was a that was a flop it happens
yeah the agents
i feel like the agents were probably the ones at fault here in terms of getting them on the project
and they're like i could be in like in a future avengers and like yes they're like
if they bring in your character like they brought in spider-man if you guys just have to make like
a great movie and they knew those fucking agents do in their hard arts that that thing was going
to fucking stink because it's sony and they only do good shit if marvel's attached to it let's call it is or the animation wing people got on my ass
for them and you know rightfully so but it's that's a different fucking wing you know different
wing altogether and then let's be honest marvel's not exactly pumping out perfect hits left and
right these days any nonetheless though the the scariest thing about this is i do think
that people are going to see the way like people are going to hear a the superhero fatigue stuff
we've been hearing forever now the the people who are complaining about the marvel movies recently
and bob auger being like i promise you guys it's gonna get better i swear to god and see like if
you know dakota johnson has a friend or sydney Sweeney has a friend and they're like, hey, I got this potential offer for this future MCU project.
And they're like, oh, that was a terrible experience for me.
Clearly two different universes.
But this is going to stop people from wanting to kind of take those Marvel checks.
I, you know, I think most people will.
But that's going to give people some pause here, which, like, again, we got to kind of rebuild this motherfucker up from the ground.
So we can't have people.
I think the opposite was taking place when they're like, Oh,
Robert Downey Jr. Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson,
all these people are coming in, making their mark.
And obviously the cash and huge checks they're seeing everywhere.
And it kind of gives them more opportunities.
And I think the opposite could happen here for all the reasons I've just
listed them more where I'm like, fuck, I hope we don't lose out on like a good jean gray in the future because she's
friendly swenians or something like that you know but bring sydney sweeney as jean grab i was gonna
say like sydney sweeney and dakota johnson they're not there and even um ben wyatt from parks and
rec what's adam scott like they're all in this movie that shouldn't disqualify them from being in the MCU. Like I've seen people do fan casts of Sidney Sweeney as
Black Cat in the Spider-Man universe. And I'm like, yeah, that that lines up that works like
you could have a love triangle between Tom Holland's Zendaya and Sidney Sweeney in the next
movie. And people would be like, yeah, this is euphoria. It rules. These are all the actors we
like. So I hope they're not disqualified from the mcu in
the future they should almost get like a mulligan kevin feige should be like i'm sorry you yeah
wrong studio i consider the sony marvel universe as other than the spider-man non-spider-man so
many parts and not animated obviously as different it's a different it's like dc like they don't
exist totally venom don't exist they're in it's another multiverse like let's just use the multiverse
for good in this situation all these fuckers are in a different multi i know the vulture thing the
venom thing forget about it don't think about it that much different multiverse exactly and in the
end like we could have chris evans as the human torch in a Fantastic Four movie and Captain America. I'd be fine if he showed up in fucking Deadpool as the human torch.
That would be crazy, wouldn't it?
And even Deadpool's like, oh, it's you.
And you're thinking it's one way, but he's not the human torch.
That definitely went through Ryan Reynolds' head.
Whether or not it got to Chris Evans and then Chris Evans would have to agree it's quite another that's a showstopper moment that is the moment
we would have gotten in the old up to you Chris Evans also said this week is not a news item I
had but he said Winter Soldier was his favorite MCU movie that he worked on which makes sense
because I feel like for him as an actor that's probably the movie he got the most to do in, the most to like singular scenes, pretty serious role with Scarlett Johansson.
A lot of the scenes are just the two of them, espionage style.
So I thought that was cool to say.
I'm looking at a picture of the White Queen right now, of Emma Frost.
And I'm like, could Sidney – now this is the thing.
I think Emma Frost should be a character that, let's just say what it is.
Sidney Sweeney's acting talents, I think, would be not to reach the levels, I think, of an Emma Frost.
I think she should be a main character.
This looks, it looks like Sidney Sweeney.
Let me see.
Can I share this on the pod?
Let me see if I can share this on the pod for the YouTube people right here.
I'll just pull it up real quick.
We'll do this. We'll do this.
We'll do that.
And Bob, you tell me if you feel like this is,
this could be Sydney sweetie right here.
Oh, absolutely.
That's her.
That's her.
That's her.
That's her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it could be done whether or not it will be done.
Emma Frost.
Who was Emma Frost?
January Jones in the next one.
Was she?
I don't know.
I feel like January Jones.
I feel like I can't think of a face when you say January Jones.
She was in first class.
She's the girl,
the blonde girl that,
that is like,
she's.
I remember Emma Frost,
but I,
I just,
I don't associate her with January Jones,
the name.
Yeah.
Which by the way,
when is our next rewatch?
When do you want to – when should we start?
Because the basement's about to start getting busy.
Well, that's June.
Next week?
You want to do next week?
Yeah.
Gwen Sexman.
Backspin's the 20th, the cartoon?
Yeah, I think so.
We'll have to get at least one in before then because we'll probably have six.
Days of Future Past next?
Or First Class next?
First Class.
First Class.
Yeah.
All right.
Everyone watch First Class before next week.
We're making this on a mystery holiday right now.

world the main amazing tours all summer so check out game time i just saw offspring is going to be
at ocean's calling and i'm like well yeah it's then so i'm gonna have to figure out how i can see these fellows
live i already hit up eddie because me and eddie have made a pact to see them together so one of
these days shout out ocean's calling the festival pup punk played last year i got the hat right
there from ocean's calling amazing lineup this year blink 182 dave matthews band offspring like
you said the darkness amazing top to bottom oar
mark robert did a great job putting that together the killers of course um yeah awesome festival
um speaking of deadpool speaking of the x-men this was a story i sent you this week
we could spend a little time on this it's not a crazy story but vinnie jones who played juggernaut
in x-men 3 the last
stand the last x-men movie we did a breakdown of go check that out as well said he turned down
returning his juggernaut in deadpool and wolverine told the director it's just such a drama putting
that suit on there's part of me that's like is he kayfabe in us is he like doing a wrestling thing
where he's like yeah i, I told him not to.
When your parents tell you, we can't get you that BB gun.
It's going to shoot your eye out.
And then it's behind the dresser on Christmas morning.
Or is he pulling us one of those?
Or is he serious?
Because I checked his IMDB.
He ain't exactly Chris Pratt or Pedro Pascal.
He's on NCIS Law and Order.
You know, kind of the thing actors do where it's
like you're on an episode here an episode there an episode here an episode there what do you think
this is what i think bob i'm gonna hit him with it i hit it with on twitter i'm gonna hit with
again oh boy oh what an idiot what a fucking idiot what a a fucking idiot. Like, bro, you turned down Deadpool and
it's going to be the biggest movie of the
year, maybe.
I don't know how showbiz works.
That's why I call it showbiz. I don't think anyone calls it that
anymore. But like, your agent,
is he representing himself as agent?
Dude, take the check. Maybe
you meet someone there. You never know.
Also, the suit.
The suit.
We have people in this movie that are doing full
head-to-toe paint nightcrawler type paint and shit in the other x-men movies the suits a fucking
vest and a helmet how hard could it be how much drama could it be i'll wear the suit i'll be like
the the fucking you look good as juggernaut that'd be good at comic-con hey ryan reynolds follows you
bob just dm him that you have a juggernaut for him just
send me like a shirtless picture of you flex and i'll just send that to ryan reynolds
no context dm and just like what do you think juggernaut that there's no way that ends up wrong
that'll nothing but blocked by van city reynolds i mean like you said dude you're fucking people are dressing up makeup
hours upon hours to get in there and this guy can't wear a vest and it can't be about the suit
it's got to be the the shape he has to get in right it has to be like no i have to get a fucking
crazy body for juggernaut it has to that's and that's perfectly understandable because i at that
point it kind of is
Once you said I had to send the shirtless pic
I'm like well I'm not going to be in the biggest movie of the year now
I'm going to change my mind on that
Even if Robbie would DM
Ryan Reynolds for me I'm not going to do it
That's it
That's the perfect one
Now don't forget in Deadpool 2
We get a different version of Juggernaut
And Ryan Reynolds actually does his voice.
So in those scenes, Ryan Reynolds is just talking to himself.
He's like, I'm going to rip you apart.
And then he's Deadpool again.
So I think we'll probably get that version of Juggernaut.
If we're not getting, you know, if they asked him to be in the movie, he turned it down, there's probably a Juggernaut scene somewhere in the script.
And I can't imagine it would be hard to just swap out the Juggernauts.
Yeah, I wonder how this is the thing.
I don't know if anyone can answer is how much of those X-Men contract
things about new actors,
how deep it went on the roster,
but it's just X-Men.
If it's guys like juggernaut,
the fucking,
I mean,
you,
you know,
I guarantee our boy pyro.
He got the fucking call.
He's like,
I'm in there.
Like we'd even tell you the,
you know,
we'd be paid.
I'll pay you guys. I'm in whatever fucking things get me in that movie all right
so halfway through the podcast i'm maybe a little more than halfway through i want to tell everyone
from here on out we're going to talk about dune part two so if you haven't seen dune part two
you don't want it spoiled this might be the area to tune out or at least
go down on the timestamps.
I'll put where we talk about
the mystery holiday, where we're done talking about
Dune 2. So I'll give
everyone a second here.
No spoilers.
If you turn on your Xbox controller.
Yeah, go ahead. I will say this.
For the people that are thinking about Dune 2,
you like sci-fi or you're interested,
I watched it at home with subtitles on and had a much better experience than the airplane.
It made a lot more sense.
Dune 1 you're talking about.
Yeah, it's Dune 1.
Dune 1.
Yes.
So I would recommend for people that just want to feel like you're watching what everyone else is talking about
because I've been thinking over the Internet for a little while here.
Go back, watch the first movie.
And if you like it, I think I'm telling I think subtitles do a lot of good because there's a lot of weird names and mythology.
I still don't know them.
And I've seen these movies like a total of four times now, basically.
Just give it a shot.
So, Bob, definitely.
Do whatever you have to do to let them know the spoilers are coming.
Spoilers are coming.
If they're not out by now, spoilers are coming.
As you said, you rewatched Dune 1.
I did the same thing.
What were your overall thoughts on Dune 2?
I was hyping it up a lot to you.
I was like, you got to see this fucking movie.
Yeah, you guys hyped it up a ton.
I really liked it.
I really liked it a lot i i kind of was
like a like victim of the hype though right i'm thinking greatest movie ever and it was very we
did get a lot of greatest like sci-fi movie ever made and it is it's hard to live up to that like
even a movie as good as this you you think of movies like classic movies it's hard to think
of any recent movie is the greatest of all time.
Yeah, yeah.
But after the first one, I was very excited with the second one.
And now I'm excited for the next one, for the third one coming, whenever it does come.
So I was very hyped about that.
I mean, what's the guy's name?
Stegall?
Oh, Stilgar?
Stilgar.
What a fucking... I love that guy guy that guy just creeps you oh god stop lisa and al gaib about everything he's on al gaib when when paul is like uh turning it down
he's like humble just like the lisa and al gaib would be like that was such a great line and
yeah he was he was one of my favorite parts of the movie i actually have as my note um
javier bardem and rebecca ferguson were two of my favorite parts of the movie. I actually have as my note Javier Bardem and Rebecca Ferguson were two of my favorite parts of the movie
because Rebecca Ferguson is the mother, goes down that path when she drinks the water of life
and she starts getting her fucking face tatted up and everything.
She's so creepy and almost unsettling every time she's on screen.
I haven't seen enough people talking about
how good a performance that was yeah she crushed it man talking to the baby in her stomach
you forget that she's like part of the again i can't say the witches what are the witches names
the witches let's call them the witches right the witches yeah they're the dathomirian witches from Ahsoka? Basana, Gaim, and I don't know.
I want to just go through every single,
like what they call the sandworms, just go through all the things with Pordoi,
just to hear what he calls them.
He can't say Karai.
His pronunciation, yeah.
But yeah, she crushes me.
By the end, you're like,
she's scarier than almost anyone you saw.
Where there's times in the first movie, you forget that she's like this witch adjacent person so
flat out who's like picking the prophecy into her own hands with paul like they told her like you
weren't supposed to have a fucking son and teach him the ways of the the force i mean the voice
you know and that is the big reveal right is just how much of this our boy talked
about that with dave yeah that i'll take a bit of that you know i'll take a bit of that too i'll
take a main character related to the bad guy all along revealed in the second part of the story uh
yeah there's a lot of that but you know i think the old like dune had a chance to be made into
a movie first and it just fell apart right people called it unfilmable it was called the unfilmable
movie for so many years and i think even after david lynch tried it they were like see it's
unfilmable even a guy as talented as david lynch who is a very talented filmmaker turned down
yeah turn down jedi to do that
oh that's an absolute harm i i understand if you can pull off dune that is bigger for your resume
than finishing off star wars because you've started something yeah from the beginning but
again i would almost love to see like george lucas in the background like spoiling all the different
reasons why the movie couldn't be made because he knew he had that was his movie basically he was gonna yeah i saw someone cheated us like all the similarities between the two i
mean he took it for the prequels too that's another thing i brought up in the podcast i did the
podcast with dave and jeff d low go check that out as well like i didn't realize i just thought
all right he took you know the sand planet and luke and paul are similar in the voice and the
force and the spice trade and the emperor but then you get to the second movie and i'm like
oh so the prequels are also based on dune because they're all about is he the chosen one is the
prophecy true is he a false messiah no we can't accept him as the chosen one and it makes him a
little angrier when he can't get accepted as the show it's like oh oh he he ran it back he said i know what works last time we're running this
shit back we're doing it again word for word bar for bar and we got comments on that podcast too
like he stole from you know he took influence from that he also took influence from seven samurai
took influence we know we know he didn influence from Seven Samurai. We know.
We know he didn't just make a fucking thing.
He took a lot, though.
He took a lot.
That's not like a word or a sentence.
That's like paragraphs.
But in the end, like, hey.
And you know what?
He made a bazillion dollars, made a great franchise out of it.
And it took till now for Dune to be made.
And I'll be honest,
like there's a chance Dune doesn't get made
without the success of Star Wars
way back when.
Definitely.
The whole sci-fi genre.
I mean, it changed the genre forever.
So we're not here to shit on Star Wars.
That's for the future.
Not at all.
Like, yeah, it's like
I'm not even knocking Star Wars
when I say they took stuff
because again, I'm an Oasis fan.
They took a lot from the Beatles. That's like kind kind of what i love about things taking a big influence and then
putting your own spin on it making it different enough to be a different story i mean you don't
got lightsabers and that is where the fucking pain the rubber hits the road or whatever there's a big
difference there for sure uh i said the j the infamous jay-z line you made it a hot line i
made it a hot song like george took your shit and he actually put it on the screen and blew our fuck
if all that other shit doesn't exist but you still see that star destroyer go overhead and you see
just all the visuals of star wars that was going to be a fucking smash hit almost no matter what
unless they i mean al guinness was like what the fuck kind of nonsense i'm in right now but it
was it was an incredible movie just like uh you know visually and of course our boy john williams
uh audio i that's the other thing too didn't i don't love the dune satchel i think that there's
very oh i do really i do that was one of my main notes coming out of it was there were so many
moments where i felt like the score made it where like they would just hit like paul would say something fucking in his monotone ass emo voice
and then like han zimmer would go that'd be like yeah it's more so the overlying like i don't like
the sounds of dude like i don't know that lady's voice is like yes it's it's very like a rape that was really
fucking good i worked with hans on the film yeah it it like it almost has like the desert vibe and
arabian feel to it yeah that yep i prefer the george uh the john williams you know classic
orchestra more orchestra yeah let i see what you're saying
and i'll be honest i think you can love both i love both i think it does come down to if you're
a williams guy or a zimmer guy and i'm pretty sure i'm a williams guy yeah yeah for sure i heard he's
going to the oscars yeah fucking 90 year old fucking dude hobbling to the oscars man so i just watched
a video on him too he did some maybe variety or gq one of those sites that always does like
cool videos he did like breaking down my whole career talking about all the scores he did and
share he was like yeah i wrote a love theme for luke and leia didn't realize they were brother
and sister had to change that empire and he's just like a delightful old man he also looks
amazing for 90 like he
looks like he could be maybe 70 but you know he don't look 90 91 whatever 92 i don't know how old
he is at this point but yeah living legend old yoda yeah that's what you should look like if
you're that fucking old uh but again to the dune the dune hards out there i'm not criticizing the
the score i'm just saying i prefer the other kind of stuff
to this one but it does for this movie it fits 100 yeah i blogged it the other day someone made a um
a game of thrones style like intro and it was awesome that was cool but even the size i'm like
like i prefer the throne yeah like the doom like arabian nights kind of shit what do you think of
austin butler as as the villain huh i mean just like as evil like purely evil very i had some um
that's the other thing so denise villanueva is that denny villeneuve villeneuve uh i think my
brother was telling me he said he would love to just make a
movie without dialogue yeah he had quotes he was like nobody goes to movies for dialogue it's about
seeing a big picture on screen and it's like I don't know if that's true like you're taking it
pretty fucking far there but this is one of those movies where even if you're not a film snob I feel
like you could appreciate how like gorgeous it looks you forget
that you are watching this from a place on earth right and that's that was some of the best parts
of star wars that was some of the best parts of thrones that i'm for some reason just lumping in
here and it just kind of just brings you back you're just like holy shit that uh the fade stuff
the black and white man i'm running me about yeah considered, like, when everything's just yellow during that one, that one fucking obnoxious dude's, like, story.
Oh, just so purely cool.
That scene was badass, too, when they're on that planet, and it's, like, the Coliseum.
It's his birthday.
And they're like, yeah, he's got the last three as a present, the last three Atreides.
Just fucking slicing and dicing.
That last guy really puts up a fight.
That was one of my favorite scenes in the movie, for sure.
Yes, yes. And i am so dialed um this is one of those things that i think i'll watch
again i'll get dialed and i've already joined the reddit i'm kind of now this is yeah this is very
this is tricky territory here is now i have to like avoid the spoilers because doing messiah
spoilers yeah and it's gonna be like 10 years until we get that. They said, like, if they go into production fast on that, it'll be 2028.
And I heard it.
No rush.
He's like, I just made Blade Runner followed by two Dune movies.
He's like, I need a fucking break.
He said, I'm probably not going to get a break.
I'm probably going to do, like, some smaller movies.
But he's like, I need a break from directing armies like and i get it 100 and there's a big gap i think
there's like 12 years between dune and dune messiah the next one um explained with like the
daughter the flash forward i guess of him seeing anya taylor joy as his sister and i think they're
going to have a rivalry in the next one they They're going to kind of be against each other.
I'm pretty sure.
Because in the books, she's born,
and she's kind of like a grown three-year-old
with a brilliant mind right away.
She fucking kills the Baron in the book.
So she's a big player.
And I think, yeah, maybe the next movie,
everyone's going to be a little older.
But after seeing the success of Dune II,
I think Messiah is all but confirmed.
It's passed part one at the domestic box office today.
Remember, part one was also released on HBO Max same day, which messes up the box office numbers completely. Obviously, it does need to make Dune part two needs to make 500 million at the box office to break even but uh box office expert scott mendelson
predicts it'll land between 570 and 630 million i think i'll go back and see it in theaters again
to be honest like i liked it that much and i think a lot of dune heads especially and film heads are
the same way where they're like i need to go back i'll bring the fucking sandworm bucket and get in there.
Sandworms are impressive making riding sandworms look cool.
Yes.
I was very concerned about it. I heard they're hoping in three they're going to show how they disembark and get off the sandworm.
I hope so.
Yeah, I was curious.
And then how do they load up the entire fucking, like, village on the thing?
That's what I asked, too.
They put the fucking egg for Rebecca Ferguson on there. I was like, i thought you had to dive off a mountain to get on one of these things
oh it's like how do you parallel park it like how do these things even work i i don't get it
like who's got the wicker basket for the queen
but i'm i'm happy we were all kind of united on this. Do we have a Jeff D. Lowe count? Like, what does he have right now? Five, six viewings?
Oh, viewings?
I don't know.
His score for the movie was 98.
I saw he gave it a 98.
Dune won.
He gave a 96.
Viewings?
I think he might just be at two or something.
Okay.
That's kind of disappointing.
To the best of my knowledge, I think he might be at two.
Like, you had already seen Endgame like three times and cried during it by this point.
So I'm starting to wonder.
Yeah, I did a lot.
I was actually thinking back to the movies I've seen in theaters like multiple times.
The Star Wars movies are crazy.
But for Marvel, it's only like the first Avengers movie.
Infinity War and Endgame I saw like five times each.
Saw them with you a couple times um black panther i
went back to see because i saw it on opening night and then trent wanted to see it but yeah i don't
have a ton that i saw multiple times has trent seen dune yet dune 2 no but i just got him to
watch dune 1 he watched dune 1 last night and loved it so we're pressuring him into seeing
dune 2 now i need to hear his opinions
i just i need to hear him talking about so that's the other thing too again i i i know i watched it
on the airplane i don't remember any of watching it on the airplane i think because it cuts out
you know the pilot makes an announcement you're kind of loose yeah it's literally leave a rocket
go back yada yada yada it's just so funny that it's like,
this guy is going to be the one who leads us and takes us there.
And I know they call him Lisa and guy,
Evan Kuwait and whatever else.
His name is Paul at the end of the day,
which is just so goddamn funny.
He's just Paul.
Paul Atreides is a sweet ass last name.
Don't get me wrong.
And listen,
I love Paul's.
I know if he falls all good,
dude,
every single one, actually not one bad boy. I know a few Pauls, all good dudes. Every single one, actually.
Not one bad Paul.
I know a couple good Pauls, yeah.
Do you know any bad Pauls?
No, I'm thinking Paul Stanley, Paul McCartney, my friend Paul Griffin.
No, no bad Pauls.
I knew one Paul in elementary school who was, like, weird.
But I knew, like, six other Pauls who were all good dudes.
And, like, he's not a bad weird.
He's, like, just a little dudes. And like, he's not a bad weird. He's like just a little odd.
And I, you know what?
I think he's actually like, I think I saw like, I heard he's like doing all right for himself.
So good.
All right.
Good.
I'm never had a bad Paul.
So I'm not ripping Paul's here, but it's just weird.
It's like, and this guy could be the first, if he lets the Messiah go to his head, he could be the first bad Paul.
Yeah.
And so now this is kind of, it seems like he is we want to be at the end with this johnny there is a whole lot
of like our prophecies real or is it just a bunch of bullshit and then you lean into it and it kind
of like gives like a televangelist feel at some point where they're just you know he's kind of
just like you know reading the room being like oh this guy said this so i'm gonna make him think that i know about him because i can kind of like it is kind of like
and our girl doesn't die no one was born to play like the scored girl that gave you her heart and
you broke it and now she doesn't trust her lip her chin quivering as he makes his decision i was like
holy shit she she's gonna get nominated for best actress i think yep and i'm here nowhere far out like the oscars are this year like this weekend for this year but
like this is gonna get oscar noms oh yeah yeah oh you think i almost did the old part of my
take bit on that one that's going back years now holy shit but yeah then i'm like is she going at
florence pew or is this just part of his plan and this and that?
And based on like,
I don't even know what to make of my guy.
Paul,
he was,
might be the first bad Paul.
I know this could be the first.
But he's like,
what'd you think of walking?
You like walking?
You did dislike walking.
Did he take you out of the movie a little?
So I,
I,
you know,
I know Dave,
what Dave said about this and I'm kind of with him.
And I don't know if this would have happened if I didn't if i didn't like hear dave say it first
walking took me out of it because it's walking there's there's like three guys
yeah i think who fights exactly i just everyone does their walking voice you just think of all
the other movies he's been in and it took me out of it and there's there's not a lot of other people that take you out if we remember we said matt damon
kind of does that where he just is a little bit yeah no matter what and walk-in is more than that
he's a cartoon character and i love chris voice yeah yeah and that that hernald almost like if
arnold schwarzenegger is the it's almost to that level where it's like, oh, it's him.
Yes.
That's a good, that's a good comparison.
That's a really good comparison.
Imagine Arnold as the emperor, someone, uh, CGI or a deep fake that I'd love to see that Paul get to the job.

Now time for the mystery holiday reveal.
Everyone's been wondering, what is this mystery holiday?
We're an hour into the podcast.
What could it be?
March 8th.
Clem, March 8th marks one year since the Disney Boys Day.
March 8th from here on out will be known as Disney Boys Day.
One of the greatest days of my life and like i say that and i make make me laugh a little bit like as a grown adult going to disney
with my boss and my co-workers but like it was it was start to finish one of the best days i can
recall it was a day where i was throwing up and nauseous for half of it and it was still
one of the best days of my life it was just non-stop fun non-stop walking in the heat and
everything like that but i mean we had the ultimate experience we had dave's pocketbook
dave's wallet we had dave's celebrity so we were walking around the park not waiting in lines going
through the back ways vip tour all that and we got to do like
15 rides in one day i mean you guys did more rides than me and dave but as many rides as you could
imagine we ate all the food we could eat we got a reservation we watched the firework show it was
just a day of joy built the lightsaber rode the falcon went on rise of the resistance i still
think back to that all i mean you've seen
all the times we've gotten dave on since then i've been like so disney boys what do you think
about disney boys another trip disney boys next nelk boys like i want to go back with the disney
boys because it was unforgettable i cannot believe you told me it was a year i said no no there's
just no way and you're like no it's been a year and now it's a holiday a mystery holiday but a
holiday it was it was magical it was we were we got to be kids in disney but then also get to be
portnoy where you're filthy rich with the experiences so it's like it was it was a magic
it was magic it was magic it's hard to talk about without like sounding like it's bragging yeah no
and trust me like i we completely
understand how lucky we are to work in this place and then we have someone like this happen where
you get an experience like that we are just we don't take it for granted i think we are known
for people that work hard and love what we do very much so we do not take it for granted but
very grateful thank you dave again for hashtag thank you yeah i think that's the biggest thing
whenever dave um gets mad at you just make sure sure you know how grateful you are that he saved you from misery, basically. I its rise and dave was clearly at that point a very you know well-known
figure and i was like people like what was it like and it's like i like lived in a music video
for two days like yeah and then we did it at disney and we lived like a fake life at a place
that already like known for its magic like they go over the top and everything and then you got
then you went back a couple weeks later with
your family and that was like crash back down to reality get in line buddy yeah better learn how to
speak lines buddy it was it was tough it wasn't you know uh oh it's a little hot let's just go
behind scenes for a little bit so uh just an absolute great time i think i could say this
on the pot and i'm
not going to go into details but there were there was at one point a chance of the return of the
disney boys there was an ad thing that yeah yeah yeah worked out and it fell through devastating
to the disney but also like shockingly close to the original disney boys trip i feel like it was
like three months later we were getting texts from austin like this ad deal's going in we might have to go back to disney and we were like
we would love that but like we were just there exactly what are we gonna do just do the same
stuff over again and the the best part about it and i know you'll agree with me on this the best
part about that ad deal potentially going through is that it already had gotten the green light from
dave saying yeah i'll go back and hang with the boys i would do it because that means dave had a good time and he likes
hanging with us enough to i'm not gonna say he likes hang with us he likes hanging with us enough
to not say no to an ad deal that would have been good for the company and himself and the other
good thing was we just saw like the people who were back home who were working obviously the
listeners and everyone here who we love um who were like oh i can't wait to see what the disney boy they do next this and that and it was
like oh shit like we're not just here getting a vacation like we are making some pretty good
content i think at the end of the day like a fun day on twitter yeah yes exactly and we we weren't
there to really observe it all but i remember final bird was like i just love getting my disney
boy okay everyone's kind of just chiming in on it. And I mean, we just lived through this fucking week where we had a
Clemmer stream, a Jersey Jerry.
Jersey Jerry broke Caitlin Clark's record.
And it was like five and a half hours.
He did it unbelievably.
The guy's a lights out shooter.
It was crazy.
I said that Nick should sign Jerry because they're so injured right now.
The motherfucker can fucking shoot, man.
And then obviously our boy Coleman, Nick should sign Jerry because they're so injured right now. The motherfucker can fucking shoot, man.
And then obviously our boy Coleman, who doesn't know what to say about baseball.
And it was like just one of those uniquely weird, awesome, wonderful weeks at Barstool.
We were like, man, I love this place and this company so much.
And I was like, oh, it was nice.
We kind of had like we had one of those little small moments in Disney.
The boss liked it enough not to hate us. And actually there is a chance we can do it again there is there's been i would say more than a chance he's
texted the group chat and been asked if disney boys will return dave has said that like almost
out of the blue it's almost like at the end of the avengers or it just says the disney boys
said those exact words the disney boys will return and i don't
know when it's gonna be i don't know where it's gonna be but i cannot wait for it to happen then
if it's on march 8th again that would be even better that would be an incredible yeah the
disney boys that yeah maybe disney will like throw us a parade the magic kingdom epcot somewhere
there yeah honestly i'll wear a motion sickness patch next time too because that was my thing i actually saw star tours uh starting april 5th they're adding scenes from
andor ahsoka and mando you're going to be able to fly through space whales from ahsoka and shit
which i think is a very cool addition they're keeping it up to date for an old ride especially
but warning to motion sickness people that was the ride that fucked me
like guardians just sent me over the edge star tours made me all woozy because it's just kind
of you know 3d glasses moving you around motion sickness right i loved it which was like that
sucked is i was enjoying myself but also like i think i'm gonna spew if you're gonna spew spewing
this um it yeah it, it was not great.
But I'll do it again with the motion sickness patch and a heartbeat.
Yeah, you'll have to know what you're going to do.
We just have to spread those out.
You have to go on Guardians first, I think, is the way.
Yeah.
I don't think I'll do Guardians again.
I'll just start again.
Never again?
I don't think I'll do Guardians again.
Guardians was, bro, maybe just for the meme.
Like, if we're there, maybe i'll be like ah fuck it like
i'm robbie fox and this is jackass you know i'll need sports goggles dude you were next to me i was
holding onto my glasses for dear life i thought they're gonna fly off my head that was a violent
ride but like you already were thrown off you already had this view coming up yeah so just about
i think almost like the teacups would have gotten knocked you over at that point so oh yeah yeah because we did the mini and mickey
runaway railroad and that was like a nothing and that kind of i was like oh okay okay when they
whenever you go backwards that was my thing and going into guardians i turned to you i was like
hopefully it doesn't go backwards and then they shot us backwards started backwards a great day though go back and watch that stool scenes in honor of march 8th it's uh kind of an
evergreen stool scenes you know it's not like here was the barstool drama this week it was just here's
dave on the slinky ride and rise of the resistance and funny shit like that dress kind of as someone
that would work for the h-man let's call it what it was like there's there's some fun that was
that was so funny i'm getting mistaken for a park employee people being like
where's the bathrooms and i'm just pointing him him mistaken maybe the the first minute we were
there we were looking at stormtroopers and we were like dave they're pointing you go over there go
it's the stormtroopers they're probably wanting to get you in trouble. And they were talking to like a four-year-old.
Not Dave.
Oh, yeah.
I'm in Disney right now.
I'm not the main character.
We forgot for a second.
Yeah.
But we did get like the drop on Grogu.
We still got some like pretty incredible things.
So it was really just outrageous, funny.
And just the amount of people that noticed him was so funny.
Because like it wasn't people who were like, oh, dude, the Disney boys are in town.
They're like, oh, that's Dave Portnnoy they just happened to notice me it was fucking
banana like there's dave portnoy and his gang of men
dressed like toddlers though because everyone had their little like star wars helmet on
whatever uncle davey bought them yeah all right that was my mom's basement for this week hashtag
mystery holiday as we said at the beginning of the podcast. And we'll talk to you next week to recap and review
X-Men First Class by the GOAT, Matthew Vaughn.
The GOAT. Oh, this just made me so much more excited. I forgot the GOAT. How could I forget
the GOAT did this? Oh, this is going to be perfect. I'm not going to forget. You won't
be forgetting January Jones anytime soon after you see her again. I'll tell you that right now,
Robert.
