Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox, along with my co-host Clem, for another X-Men 97 recap edition of My Mom's Basement. We've been doing Invincible with X-Men 97. I've got all of my Amazon superheroes. It was all jumbled right now. But that is finally over. Season two has ended. I did see they are reportedly confirmed for seasons four and five. They got renewed. So congrats to the Invincible team. But we're here just to talk about X-Men today. X-Men 97 episode 6 um it's life death part 2 a lot of numbers a lot of numbers x-men 97 episode 6 life death part 2 how we doing clem

uh we're in a much different world right now in the x-men world where we had the life death part 1 with the motendo everything's kind of like light on the motendo side obviously life death had a much heavier tone to it. Then last week had like an 8 million pound ton, actually 8 million ton tone, we'll say. And then this week, all over the fucking place. Because you see this on the, you see the title and you're like, all right, well, we're going to go back to Storm now. You're thinking that before last week.

And now I'm just like, where the fuck are we going to go? And I have to say, I think like we just had a bunch of of turbulence the plane like nosedived for like a minute or so and now i think we're kind of stabling on out again so it's gonna be very interesting to see where it goes by the way just because you mentioned invincible did i read that they also already have the animation done or the voice acting i feel like they had one of those voices the voices are done and x-men season two they already have some of it done as well right a lot of the writing i think is in the can for x-men season two and yeah all of the voice acting for invincible season three has been completed reportedly so hopefully we'll get that sooner

than later because that's the real you know tricky thing as we were learning with the Spider-Verse is you could have one part of it done, not another part. And I think with the way the world's going, you can't just treat your animators like the Godzilla FX team did with Godzilla. Yeah. Minus one or whatever. So hopefully we get everything sooner rather than later. And Invincible, we said it last week, we're going to say it again. One release. Put them out weekly if you want to space it out

That's fine don't you give us a half time And we don't know how time works All that kind of stuff Also did you check out Fallout I will not be upset either way I just need to know if you saw episode 1 yet I didn't but I gotta admit I'm sort of saving it for

I have a flight tomorrow So I'm going back to Cancun We talked about this on the podcast I was like I'm going to have all my mahi-mahis in Can. So I'm going back to Cancun. We talked about this on the podcast. I was like, I'm going to have all my mahi-mahis in Cancun. I'm going back to Cancun. Like six months later, we have a wedding there. Friend's wedding, yeah. It's crazy.

I'm upset that I have to miss Rough and Rowdy for it, but of course excited for a friend, you know, going and getting married and whatever. But yeah. Buy rnr.com. Buy rnr.com. Buy rnr.com. Let's get ourselves off the fucking

radar large will be replacing me on the call so look out for that that'll be fun um and yeah it's gonna be a great card no matter what on friday night all new returning fighters i just wish i could be there i wish the wedding was on a different date but it is what it is i will be watching fallout on the flight to cancun though. West Virginia. Is that where the rough and ruddy is? So, you know, it's going to be crazy if it's in West Virginia, I will say this.

No spoilers. Obviously I am two episodes in. There's some violence in this. There is some real life violence. And listen, the boys had numbed me to a lot of violence. I thought I was going to like, just bail on it.

KFC hit me up just completely. It was like, Hey, have you watched bought yet? And I said, no, I haven't. I am into it because a the reviews were great and b he was kind of saying how great it was and he's like oh you got to keep powering through trust me like I said I I don't know if I have like the stomach for this it's kind of what I was scared about with last of us without giving anything away and he's like no trust me it balances out so if you're

like me and you're like I don't know if I could do this, we're going to power through it at some point in the next month or so when there's a dead spot, maybe we'll do our little recap. So that's the homework for all the basement boys and girls out there. Get your fallout viewings and we will probably recap it at some point.

Very cool concept, very cool stuff. Never played the video game. So I just wanted to throw that out there as well as I have a basement boy of the week oh who do we got so it's weird i could either i'm gonna give the basement people of the week because i don't know who we're dealing with here our boy cameron ramos basement boy i believe the potential old basement boy of the week yep said that he was on the boston t and he heard people talking about Robbie and Clem in the basement. So I said, those people are the Basement Boy or Girl of the Week.

We do not discriminate in the basement. Basement has all genders, all races. A basement is the place of acceptance. So those people as well as Cameron. As the X-Men teaches us, you know. Yes, exactly. Cameron also gets lumped into that award as well for reporting it. So, hey hey people want to

spread the gospel of the basement you can get yourself a nice shiny basement boy or girl the week pin which we will create once we hit 100,000 YouTube subscribers we're going we're gonna go that high so a shout out to everyone out there listening spreading the word of the pod I do have to mention another basement boy of the week Lord Davidder. I met him in Philly when I did WrestleMania. I met him. I met his wife. I met his brother. And his brother complained about something you just did.

When you smack your desk, his brother told me, he's like, I almost drove my car off the road. He's like, you got to tell Clem. Like, he almost caused a horrendous accident one day. And I was like, oh, no, I will tell him that. I'll try to save a life for you. But, yeah, they were great people. That's very good to know. I think the desk slap always happens in the morning because the coffee is still pretty fresh in me i have some energy going so i'll try to keep that in mind for the mornings the night my soul has already been crushed by the kids for the morning and the

afternoon shifts of the day so noted very well noted all uh feedback and suggestions but people open a suggestion box in the basement and it's like i like that clem stop slamming your desk like a fucking judge and it with a gavel fair enough i was laughing just picturing him like listening to my mom's basement just on the way home from work and just being like oh immediately swerving imagine that it's like we're like a i'm like a serial killer. It's like there's been 10 accidents the last month, and every single one of them was listening to my mom's basement. What's going on?

Yeah, they were subscribed on their phone. There's one thing in common with all the victims. Yeah. One thing I wanted to show on my mom's basement this week, Clem has already seen this, but I purchased something for Clem while I was in Las Vegas for UFC 300. I went with fellow basement boy, Jose Youngs, everyone's favorite basement guest. The youngsters rejoice every time he comes on.

He hit me up and said, hey, I'm going to the comic book store tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? I'm like, oh, my God. I want to come to the comic book store with Jose. It's like going to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory with Willy Wonka. Like, yes, dude my god i want to come to the comic book store with jose it's like going to willy wonka's chocolate factory with willy wonka like yes dude i would like to go to the comic store with you um we went to alternate reality comics in las vegas uh 5300 southeastern ave 130 las vegas nevada awesome store they had so much cool stuff in there like great great vibe the guys behind the counter

immediately wanted to talk comics with us when we walked in him and jose chopping it up i bought superman for all seasons i'm getting excited for the james gunn superman i'm like one fourth of the way through it i read one of the seasons awesome stuff love it but i saw this floppy and they had so many x-men floppies one of the best things about the x-men 90s comics that are amazing that chris claremont jim lee run they printed so many of them that every comic book store has like a hundred of them so i flipped through like a hundred x-men comics probably more and i found one that looked like it had clem's name written all over it and it was this one right here x-men with rogue and in her savage land

attire and magneto nick fury's on there you got another guy over here i don't even know who that is it looks like arnold is conan um but what did you tell me when i showed this to you clem so you were like hey i gotta reveal this surprise to you. You did it on camera. Very well done. Jose, I imagine, was the cameraman. Great content creation by you guys. Tip of the cap. And I said, Bob, I just got to be honest here. I said, I was looking in after our discussion last week about Magneto and Rogue. And Rogue kind of, you could smell sex in the room when they were like panning.

I was like, I went back to the, I did a, I ranked the comic, some of my favorite comic book covers. And I was like, I went on like online and I almost bought that for myself. And it was like the old, like, this is kind of a horny old man move buying this comic book of all things. So you have now wiped out the horny man. You cannot be horny if it is gifted to you. Like unless like, like when Glennie was gifted the pocket pussy by Asa, it's like, you know what I mean, guys? That was a little horny. That was a little horny.

That was a little horny. However, a comic book and X-Men, clearly my favorite. I have the new print on the wall right now of the old Jim Lee first cover. That, like, that was as solid as you could get. So, hey, basement boy of the week as well. The host gets the basement boy of the week as well. We're watering it down a little now we have like seven basement boys a week but i don't care you deserve it i almost

slammed the desk that's growth right there i almost slammed that's gross shout out david snyder's brother i just saved the life i just saved the life he saved the life uh this is the thing i was actually going to mention too i i kind of, this X-Men 97 has the old nostalgia feelings bubbling back. And to be honest, I have a box of comics upstairs that my mom had given me a few years ago when she was cleaning out her attic. And I was like, do I just run through there? And I was like, no, you know what? I'm going to buy some of my favorites. That was going to be one of them.

And I was going to do it through eBay. I'm like, no, we got to support the local comic book stores. Jose would like fucking kick my ass if you found it on this board and it's probably from a comic book store or just a collector it's not from some like corporate you know monolith but i was like all right so i was thinking you'd said next time you know maybe we're all in town we all head to the local comic shop i mean midtown in itself is like a legendary spot in new york city midtown forbidden plan j Jose's been going to all the New York spots because he lives here now so he told me he's like I would love to

go to a store with you and Clem and we could film a video walking around him giving recommendations that's why I bought the Superman comic I told Jose I was like listen I want to read like a Superman comic that's going to inspire the James Gunn movie he gave me you know every option he could have given me. This one's like this. This one's like this. And I picked for all seasons because it's Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale who did Batman the Long Halloween. Maybe my favorite comic ever.

It's like right neck and neck with Dark Knight Returns. And I just love their art style. I love the writing style and all that. And I put it on the counter to leave. And the guy behind the counter says he's like an older guy. He's like, that's one of the best Superman and all that. And I put it on the counter to leave. And the guy behind, behind the counter says, he's like an older guy. He's like, that's one of the best Superman stories ever written.

And Jose goes, it is the best Superman story ever written. And they immediately started talking about what they love about it and how it's narrated and how this panel was drawn. And it's just immediate, like comic nerd bonding. It was so cool to see. That's the real shit right there,

man. I love it. And I just would like this to be known for all the Robbie Fox fans out there and most importantly, the Fox family, your brother in particular. Jose is the one who planted that seed of when Robbie goes from Batman to

Superman. This was not me, diehard Superman fan. This was all Jose and the comic book store that did it. So right now, April 17th, 2024, I'm washing my hands of this. This is not me. And then like by, I mean, honestly, when the movie comes out,

when Robbie, you look outside Robbie's apartment and in the dumpster, there's all his old Batman stuff. And he's just a super fan like myself. I don't want to be blamed for it. That's all I'm saying. Someone's got to do the Toy Story meme, right? Me dropping Batman. I don't want to be blamed for it. That's all I'm saying. Someone's got to do the Toy Story meme, right? Me dropping Batman. Like, I don't want to play with you anymore. No, no, no.

I'll never abandon Batman. But listen, in the end, like, when it comes to comics, I'm a DC guy. I really am. The movies, I'm kind of like more of a Marvel guy, I guess you would say. I'm more of a Batman guy more than anything. But, like, growing up, I didn't even really buy any marvel comic books i bought 90 batman comic books and then 10 like justice league superman aquaman wonder woman suicide squad books like that it was like all dc so like i don't know i'm rooting for superman to

do well i was actually thinking about that hypothetical that we talked about a couple weeks ago today where i was like do i want superman to actually be an a-plus movie that i like better than the dark knight and i swear i've talked myself into like the other answer where i'm like yeah i think i do want it to be the a-plus that i like better than the dark knight because then it makes the batman fans and the hype for the batman 2 is like oh we're the underdog we gotta usurp it again we gotta get an even better batman movie so yeah i you know what i think watching x-men has made my brain work in like a different way where i'm like i don't have to drag something down to be greater what a crazy concept right a rising tide lifts all ships so yeah my boy clark has to put the

whole universe on his back. We don't have any Snyder cuts coming out about anything. Then that's what he's going to do. He did it fucking in like 1940 or whenever the comics came out, put the whole universe on his back. The funny thing is I grew up like when I got into comics, it was because of X-Men. But if I had grown up like five years earlier and I had been introduced to

comics, like I probably would be a diehard DC fan because X-Men, that was kind of, they said like, again, that number one that they say is like the one that kind of like put them, they were already huge, but it was like, that was like,

oh shit. And it brought in a new generation, myself included. I probably just become like a Batman, Superman, Batman 1989 was a fucking, I remember that came out on video and it was still in theater. And I was like

holy shit that's awesome is when that happens and i don't know if that's even true but in my mind that's what happened so uh yeah then go back and listen to our commentary of that by the way too that's one of our funnier commentary tracks because it just became entirely focused around bob the goon we just the whole time we were just like, Bob is the best. So much fucking fun, dude. So, yeah, DC Universe, let's keep it. It's kind of like, I always compare it to wrestling, but it's like, Goldberg getting big.

It's like, does the NWO fans want that? It's like, well, you're going to get more eyeballs on it, so it can't be a bad thing in the end. And then if Marvel has to then step up their game to get the ratings back, that's a win for all the all the fans involved hey speaking of marvel stepping up their game let's start talking about x-men 97 because this is marvel stepping up their game and stepping it up and stepping it up and stepping it up even more than that because this show i tweeted it today it has truly exceeded my hype at every level every turn every episode i'm even looking back at like the

motendo episode and i'm like even that was brilliant like i'm on this new level with x-men 97 where i just can't believe how good it is every week even the intro i look forward to the changing intro every week we got a little change in this more than a little change in this week we got like some new scenes and stuff in this week's great stuff did you like the intro again this week are you the same way are you like now watching the intro like looking for everything looking for every little difference all right trust tree obviously basements the trust tree i mistakenly skipped the intro this week oh and i was like and so then it just goes and i'm like into it and like if i'm inside like wait what happened to the intro we're just doing a cold open this is what happened i i

always skip the previously ons because i think recap yeah it will if they're giving you shit with like the aliens and you know outer space i'm like oh we're going to outer space i don't like knowing that i like going in completely blank then i saw the marvel animation and i'm like i don't i don't like the marvel animation open there's not enough stuff and i see the what if zombies and i get mad so i skipped that and because of that that then skips again it that intro was so good it makes the skip button almost like offensive i fucked myself hands up hands up i went back afterwards watch the intro my guy nightcrawler coming in double, Nightcrawler, coming in double swords. Nightcrawler's a sword guy like me.

I absolutely love to see that. Kurt Wagner, I mean, he's kind of like a freak, a legitimate freak. But hey, us sword guys, that's a win for us. I also saw something kind of fucked up. Someone's like, they replaced Magneto with the explosion. Because, you know, the X explodes. And I'm like, too soon. That's too soon.

That is too soon that's too soon that is too soon now how do you feel about the intro kind of doing what you don't like the previously on doing because like the intro showed us uh xavier and the empress this week and that made me think like oh we're getting xavier and i'm the same way as you like i don't like when we get that spoiled for us but something about it being in the x-men intro i'm kind of like oh it's a teaser maybe it's the music i wish this is uh i'll throw this in the x-men suggestion box for season season two it sees a suggestion box i was gonna do that after the episode so then next week you would put that in because game of thrones they didn't just throw like a new city in there before it premiered. It was always the week after it was introduced to the show.

I think that's what they should do, personally. But I fucking love it. And again, how does the meme go? Look at us. Who would have thought, huh? A month, two months ago, we were like, fuck it, MCU, man. God damn it. We bring up Secret of Asia in every episode.

Which, by saying that, I've now kept the streak going. It's like, I can't believe how a cartoon and like, let's be honest. I love the 90s vibe of it. It is kind of like if it was like really good, fucking awesome animation, it would make this even better in a way where I do love the 90s. Don't get me wrong. But if we had some cutting, I'd show that. Holy fuck.

And the animation is through the roof, too. They're just taking they're just copying up the old stuff. So it's incredible dude i i am on cloud nine and as someone that's been like banging the drum on the x-men i'm just so happy like forget about like thriving i'm just happy they didn't fuck it up right yeah and we start this episode with i don't want to call him one of your guys but kind of one of your guys user he. Oh, he's not one of your guys, but he's from one of your movies, your franchise,

you know, like we're getting, I didn't expect to see Ronan the accuser and X-Men 97. That kind of made me be like, oh shit. And he's in his comic costume, like the total green. And he got the hammer too.

So it's like, he's a guy adjacent because he's guardians. I love guardians. My only, like, I think one of the biggest flaws of guardians, one that makes guardians do better is that he kind of just stinks as a villain,

you know? Like, yeah. So that was my biggest, we call him a snitch. Yeah. More. I have in the notes more like loaning.

I mean, guys taking L's every time you fucking turn around. But yeah, they do that massive space battle. Ronan versus Death Bird. The Shi'ar versus the Kree. Death Bird, when she steps on Ronan's face with the high heel and it fucking even goes into his cheek a little and you see the blood. That was pretty brutal. I mean, this show, we say it every week.

It's a little scary for kids between that, the fucking adversary doing her crazy shit. There's some adult themes, adult scary shit. I mean, even like the conversations between Charles and the Empress in this. No kid is watching that and being like, I love the X-Men. That's for adults. So, I mean, this is how you know it's for adults. So, last week, I tweeted out a thing. It was like, did you see the little ad they put on Twitter?

It was like, you know, visit Genosha and everything. It was after the episode aired, mind you. And it was like all this, it was all the touristy stuff from the beginning. It just seems like a nice, fun place. And I was like, no. And then some fucking Mama Luke said, hey, I'm sure they're not like targeting this for the 30 year olds. And I go, tell me you haven't seen this week's X-Men without telling me you haven't seen this week's X-Men. fucking mama luke said hey club i'm sure they're not like targeting this for the 30 year olds and i go tell me you haven't seen this week's x-men without telling me you haven't seen this week's

x-men then he hits back with oh like the kids show i was like uh so then i'm like wait a minute i'm gonna go back and scan then i'm like oh he deleted all the tweets that's how you know when the fucking idiot twitter trolls who don't know what they're talking about go back and delete the tweets that's how you know i was fucking right because trolls who don't know what they're talking about go back and delete the tweets. That's how you know I was fucking right. Because Attic Boy of the Week. Attic Boy of the Week. In the attic. Throw him up there.

He's wet in the bed with Fuller, man. Get the fuck out of the basement. That was such a satisfying moment because I'm like, dude, I'm not here to argue. First of all, this show is clearly for me because like the the guy who created basically said it. Second of all, the creator also said this is basically the 9-11 and the pride shooting of the MCU. It's like very bad stuff. Very like I I would just tell my kids we're not going to watch this episode if they weren't already scared. Yeah, it's it's it's out there. It's adult. It's for us. And can I also say this, this too with this space stuff this this

carries to what i was remember like reading in the comics i would go to the back issues and because i think it was uh before i started reading this marvel shit with the supreme intelligence and these crazy storylines they must have been on that crazy those crazy 70s drugs when there is some fucking out there stuff and i know when you're going in space you kind of have to make it crazy and i do think the way they brought it to the big screen in infinity war and guardians is a lot smoother than i expected and why i was kind of like not looking forward to it but man this shit makes no sense if you didn't watch the old seasons either because you really have to watch the screen crush 35 minutes 74 episodes or whatever because this shit if you didn't watch the previously on and I don't know how much of the heavy lifting the previously on did.

They did some wacky stuff going out of space. And this is why I really didn't enjoy those storylines in the comic books. It feels like the writers dipped into like the Eternals drugs, like they partied with the Eternals team and Jack Kirby. And they were like, you know what? Let's look and we'll take some of that that we'll throw that into our x-men and then you have this supreme intelligence who's like a massive floating head with all the fucking wires in it and everything which we saw in the marvels so it's like kind of interesting to see in x-men 97 how the different pieces work with someone else playing with them you know it's yeah something from the marvel something from

guardians something from x-men they put them all together here that's a great that's a great way to put it and you do love the crossover even if it's not the heroes crossing over the even if it's the locations like if it was a nowhere i'd be like oh shit they're in nowhere that'd be very cool x the cartoon does have like especially with the 90s animation they do have the advantage of like this feels like i'm in a comic book right now, which is very cool. A very cool thing, all things considered. So the Empress comes out in front of all the Shi'ar people, and she says that Xavier is not only healed a year after he's been taken in. They all joined forces to help heal him.

He has unlocked the secrets to her heart. Our boy Charles, we were talking about what a smooth talker he was in first class. I think that extends to 97. Unlock the secrets to her heart. That's big. I'm going to say something out of pocket here, but I say it from a place of love. Is it fair to say that Charles Xavier can be a swooner and he's not using his telepathic powers for evil here

he's just a wordsmith but he also, there's a chance that he has that good dick because I'm telling you man yeah, you know I never thought about what he could use down there you know he must

or he has that good tongue he doesn't have to be the dick i'm just saying can he like even if he can't like use it down there can he just telepathically be like yep hey i mean jesus the guy fucking can like bring him to the astral plane i would hope you know do a little viagra or something down there Maybe he doesn't even have to Maybe he just brings you to an astral fucking orgasm This is why you listen to my mom's basement Ladies and gentlemen No other nerd podcasts are having this conversation She says it herself too Bob

She says you can bark later We learned I don't want to commit any federal crimes here Dog collars It's inars we've it's in the marvel universe it's in the marvel cinematic into the x-men universe we can say that charles has a fucking dog kink i don't i don't know what's going on all i know is my guy is making it work he has this lovely nice woman woman on a throne, and she's like, do I leave it all for him?

She's going to make him leave it all for her. She's swooning over him. She's swooning. She's going to make him emperor. She tells all the people don't have a great reaction to it. They start whispering and murmuring. They're kind of like, oh, fuck. This fucking human is going to be anything.

He's kind of the Meghan Markle of the CRs. They're like, we ain't about this. He's not here for the right reasons. Whispering, Bob? Whispering? There was no whispering going on. She's called it his Milky Way ghetto. She called our universe...

That was crazy. Yeah. Our galaxy. She called our galaxy a ghetto. She goes, Simeon. He comes from Sime simeons they called his fucking love juice inferior fleek fluids inferior fleek i can't even say it i'm so fucking flabbergasted inferior fleek i can't inferior freak fluids all right it's been done i i was a

guest a guest i felt what the x-men feel like when they're called mutants and being, I'm like, fuck you guys. The Milky Way is perfectly great. It's not a very good candy bar. And the fact Danny Conner didn't have a chance to win the chocolate draft when he drafted a fucking Milky Way is disgusting. But it's a very fine galaxy. I like a Milky Way.

Let's be fair. I like a Milky Way. A Milky Way midnight is even better. Oh, no. did you just oh milky way midnight's one of the best no no we're not gonna give dark chocolate oh dark chocolate no stop it stop it bob am i fucking i'm not that old i'm not old enough to like dark chocolate at this point come on well i've been getting the shop right bowling basket dark chocolate with the fucking uh with the coffee

beans in it oh it's so good clem and with every word you say listeners fall through your fingers i don't know the princess leia line but you're only hurting your cause milky way there's only one time where i'll ever want a Milky Way. And it's when I'm watching This Is The End, and it's like the only thing left. And they're just like, I want that fucking Milky Way. I'm like, this is really good. And then I will usually, I say, the once every two to three years I watch that movie, I end up getting a Milky Way some point the next day.

Because I'm like, man, other than that. Milky Way at midnight is the go-to for me. It's a top five candy bar I go to if I'm at Duane Reade or something. Top five? Top five? Top five? night is the go-to for me that's a top five candy bar i go to if i'm at duane reed or something top five top five it's like kick cat twix milky way midnight that is the straight up the two mean dragons and the cross-eyed dragon you just said it in verbal form Verbal mean yourself Oh my god Milky Way ghetto That's Bob Robbins case buds Also seeing Xavier

With the mechanical legs I'm happy for him I'm sure it's great It just doesn't feel right When he's walking out He's got kind of like a Thor type helmet too In this episode Especially later on

they it goes over his face and everything kind of as the wings just seeing xavier like that's like bro i want to see you in the yellow chair in a suit that's like who you are i want to see your bald head if i can't see your bald head what's the point they magic legs lieutenant dan that's they made lieutenant i mean grand lieutenant dan's legs were made on this in the Milky Way ghetto with, you know, the inferior freak fluids is how we reproduce down here. But I appreciate that they were at least gold. So it's kind of his chair and like walking form. And I would I don't know if I could make fun of the headgear because that might be like racist for the she are true. That's the other thing.

I actually like their owl thing. Yeah, exactly. They're bird people. And listen, I'm a bird person thing I actually... It's like their owl thing. Yeah, exactly. They're bird people. And listen, I'm a bird person as well. So there's nothing but love here. Nothing but love across galaxies. But it is kind of weird. I also remember when I read the comic books,

there were so many apostrophes. It's like Shi'ar and Zangar. They all... Diken is her brother. It's like there's just way too many apostrophes. If they had cut down on the apostrophes, like 30% even, I think we would have had a much better reading experience.

So I'm just going to say that from the outset. Let's tell the people about game time. Now you can go see so many great concerts this summer, especially at city field.

Yup. Yeah, exactly. Frank.

Yes. We would need to get like all, all of the top basement boys and former basement boys of the week. We need to get them the mama Kelsey. Kelsey. I will say this. Sam Lauderdale showed up to multiple dozen tournaments live and he rocks their plenty P shirt.

There was one time he told me he was, it was two. He chose, he was going to have to help the yak if they faced us but i think his yak uh ties have been broken a little bit he's a zd boy so you get him out of zd mafia bob it's a blood oath once it's taken i can't promise you're going to get him back but yeah it would be the mega powers could explode especially especially after the fucking shot you took at us uh telling jeff to stop blazing us all he's saying is team z slandered for easy questions easy schedule hardest schedule in the league and we've won

the crown you don't need to say that during our match it was it was conquers versus gen xyz he opened the match by talking about how hard your schedule is i was like what the fuck is this jeff you're talking about how hard dave's schedule is come on just an announcer just you know looking at the standings being like man that team they gave up the crown for the good of the league because we were gonna potentially kill the league and then we got the crown back it's a we have the story of the seasons right now some would say it's it would be like just ignoring all the stuff that's been going on you know with professor x it's like we have to talk about it. All right. Speaking of Professor X, let's get back into the X-Men.

Him and the Empress are talking about the X-Men themselves, the team, what his life was like back on Earth. He's kind of missing the X-Men, but there is part of him that I think is like, yeah, I miss him, but I'm on vacation right now. I don't need to watch my kids. It's kind of nice. You know, he misses them, but he's like, I don't need to watch my kids it's kind of nice like you know he misses him but he's like i don't need to go back there though that is the first my wife and i'll be like oh like we'll like look at our phone like i remember this when sienna was like a baby or you know look at aj and then it's a gap but we're not going anywhere it feels so good right yeah um and storm the actual life death that we expected to go back to, the storyline and everything,

she's trying to rid Forge of the infection he's got on his shoulder. It's making its way to his heart. We know that there's this plant frozen darkness in a cave. We could go and get to that and stuff. But the adversary sends Storm through this crazy nightmare hallucination sequence. Very scary. You see different versions of the X-men when it becomes like the x-men's face beast wolverine and shit with the crazy teeth crazy eyes there's some creepy shit

um and forge uses some dr strange magic to get the adversary out of there i thought that was cool too when he starts doing the fucking what do you what do you want this the shaman supreme right there look at that the shaman Supreme right there. Look at that. The shaman Supreme. I like that. Yeah. And I appreciated that they kept that consistent with Dr. Strange's magic.

Cause I'm sure it's all the same magic, no matter who's casting using the same books, right? Yeah, exactly. The adversary, just an asshole, just an absolute,

I just do not. I do not enjoy him. Interesting though, voiced by the actress that voices storm in this episode so they have like it's like you know a sick twisted monologue of storm's own voice i like that i i that that's that's very cool i i would like that if the adversary is like a legit like inverse of storm in the comics i don't know if that's the case but the at some points i'm like this is getting a bit wild and crazy which i think i'm gonna just have to get used to this

is how the x-men's gonna roll but when they went back and took the x-men and kind of like you know remix them and turn them into these like crazy little looking monsters i was like that's comic booky right there that felt out of an x-men comic book in particular so very cool shit you know what i'm actually realizing as i'm talking about this right now that intro that changes every week what that is it's the upper left hand box of the comic book and it tells you which characters are in it that's what it is they fucking did it wow oh god i love this show i love this show ah i love this franchise i I love Marvel. Feige did it again.

Trust the Feige is back. I almost slammed the desk again. Credit to me. We'll talk about some Feige stuff after we talk X-Men. That could be big Feige is back stuff. We'll tease it for that. The evil sister, the Death Bird, shows up at the wedding of Xavier and the Empress, and she challenges him. She's like, I want to challenge your loyalty, send you through whatever test.

You must renounce Earth and erase all of your memories to show that you're loyal to our people. And he struggles with it. They talk about it back and forth, but ultimately he's like, all right, I think I could do this. Like, I'll show my loyalty to you, whatever. They go back to storm for a little bit she realizes she's like more than her powers and she fights back against the the adversary this i thought could have been handled a little better to be honest is the one aspect where i was like all right she realizes she's more than her power she's got her powers back she you know finds

the plant that grows in the darkness and she's all good the new costume the long hair a plus looks fucking awesome but there could have been just maybe one extra scene of like her discovering who she is without her powers and embracing that and then her getting him back it was just so quick i did feel a little rushed i'm wondering if they just have so much that they have to cover they're like we're we're just going to handle this story. To be honest, I don't need much more of the story. Like, you're going to give them 10 extra minutes. So it's like, I'm with you, though. But we got there. The new outfit, which you know now means next week we're going to get the new outfit, the hair, all that kind of stuff.

You were all an echo of who I am. Let them thunder for I Am Lightning. I'm like, oh, story. That was bars. Bars. Fucking bars. So we're learning a lot Storm. That is bars. Bars. Fucking bars. So we're learning a lot about the leader of the X-Men. I mean, again, last episode was a tough one for El Ciclopes.

But before then, he's had his fucking moments. He's had his sweet powers. He's had his lines. He got two fucking redheads who would fucking do whatever it takes to get with him. Our girl Storm here, dropping bars on people, new outfit always. She's going to have new outfit powers too. I feel like you have that new outfit, like it's like a new car. You just feel better about yourself.

She's going to be lighting some shit up here for a while, but that was an all-time great line. I love that. And then we go back to Xavier, and he pretty much says, like, I do to renouncing Earth, and I do to renouncing all his memories and then they're like do you renounce the x-men he's like ah fuck that's my x-men such a bro move i didn't know there's girls in the x-men too which is such a one of the boys move

where he's like nah i can't i mean i can't renounce the x-men and they're like he hesitates and death bird tries to fucking get him renounced. And she's like, renounce my sister, too. And then she goes at her sister. And this fucking gladiator guy just punches the fuck out of her. Like, it was crazy to watch. I know, you know, superheroes. It's like, I guess some guys could hit girls and it's different, I guess. But my first reaction was like, how can he slap?

I was like, oh, my God like how can he slap i was like oh my god how can he slap the go go broke dizzy boys are crying in their fucking uh their unknown years right now she didn't even lay a hand on him she just went at her sister and he went boom hit her into a wall i was like whoa that was yeah it was gnarly that was some gnarly shit i did not see that coming uh respectfully to the she are they're a bunch of bitches. I've had enough of these guys already. The worst. I appreciate them bringing, you know, Boss Man back to health. He saved Xavier. Yeah. He did his part too.

Saved the universe. Everyone's... And Deathbird. The name, like, was Taserface taken. Like, come on. That's enough. That was... And like, you're the first, like, I don't know. There's like the best warrior always named Deathbird. Because there fun. And you're the first, I don't know, there's the best warrior always named Death Bird because there's no way you're the first person

in the fucking bird culture to come up with the name Death Bird. So I've had enough of her. I've had enough of her people. And my boy Charles, my boy Charles, took up the class. He took up the class. He took up the school.

He was chom chopping on an apple. He's like, ah. And then he's like, enough out of you, death bird lady. Throw an apple in her mouth. Boom. Shut her up with an apple. That was crazy. I had that in my notes.

Shut her up with an apple. I think we got an answer. If Charles can, you know, turn his fucking dick fucking into a working object. Yeah, he can throw an apple in someone's mouth on the astral plane. Stunt on him, Chuck. Stunt on him. It was incredible. Oh, but it was like, like you said, when he's like,

do you renounce this, that, the other thing? Do you renounce like 72 degrees sunny days? Like, I renounce it. That's my time on it. What is it, tyrant or whatever? And then they're like, what's the X-Men? I would have loved like a little montage in his brain, and's him and wolverine just kicking back watching football together you know him and you know beast like doing like complex equations i would have loved just him broing out

just thinking of all the shit he does with the boys so that would have been fun and the the line that got me evolutionary war we're not talking revolutionary war we're talking evolutionary war god damn a lot of good shit and a lot of stuff that i was impressed by their ability to like not retread the same lines but retread the same message you know of acceptance and why is one thing have to be better than other it's a silly thing it's like the x-men has done this for for fucking 74 episodes in the original series we're six episodes into this one we fucking 74 episodes in the original series we're six episodes into this one we're 80 episodes in they're pretty much the moral of the story is the same every time and it's still fresh it still feels good it still feels new it's really impressive

how they're able to do that um shuts death bird up with an apple the shia oh this this line was fucking bars as well the shiar empire is a snake oil racket when he said that i was like oh my god you can't say anything where's a snake oil right about your empire teaches him about equal rights coexistence but then his globe fucking spins out of control it's like what's happening everyone turns into skeletons and then you see a massive sentinel-sized gambit he's like gambit gambit also turns into a skeleton and he starts somehow seeing what's happening he's like no they were all dancing they were all fine and then they were all making love let's call it oh yeah they're drinking wine and making love right here they were dancing drinking wine making love, right? They were dancing, drinking wine, making love.

You overstepped your boundaries, Charles. You're the dad with the psychic powers. You can't be going in and peeping on your kids, being like, what's going on in that bedroom? You close the door, Charles. You don't watch. Even if it's your boy Magneto with Rogue, close the door.

Socks on the door for the reason, Charles. You sick son of a bitch. I'm telling you, Charles is kind of a sicko when you think reason, Charles. You sick son of a bitch. I'm telling you. Charles is kind of a sicko when you think about it now. He's kind of a sicko. Kind of a sicko for that. Yeah, I didn't even really put that together in my mind. But yeah, the X-Men, as we said previously, they're fucking constantly.

Yeah, exactly. I've said this on Podfathers. It's kind of a weird thing to talk about, but it's the truth. When AJ's older and the door is locked and he's a teenager that door is not being like broached like let them handle their business same thing with your children charles that was a weird fucking lot i wish he had kept it in his pocket but again you can bark later charles gets fucking down and so do his kids they're gonna be charles really where did you learn that from i learned it from watching you that's an old 80s bsa right there that's my mom always will hit me with that yeah she hits me with that reference when i'll like smoke weed in front of my dog she'll be like who did you learn it from faith i learned it from you

i bet there's times in the x mansion where they hear like oh and they're like oh it's beyond one and no it's charles and Moira. Charles. At the same time that he is kind of figuring out what's going on in Genosha and saying, I must return to my X-Men. You know, I can't abandon my kind. Storm is putting some like goop shit in Forge's wound. She turns the TV on. She sees it. And she's, you know, shaken up by it. they end the episode on charles being like it's time

must return to my x-men and then it feels like there's a post-credit scene even though it's not mid-credits or post-credits the final scene just feels like that you see trask like running away and being like i gave you my dna to access master mold what more do you want from me and then we see mr sinister mr bad mr evil he's back and he's like you know genosha was only this start this is the next phase of whatever the fuck he says extinction um so we'll get more mr mr sinister although many people believe he is not the true big bad of this season a lot of people think we're going to get apocalypse because apocalypse has been teased in the opening with cable so we'll see but another great episode uh yeah i've been reading that a bunch too and if you don't want to even hear this and kind of like me you don't

want to like know what's going on skip five minutes and we'll get into the news but i'm just gonna say like i have heard that and it's him apocalypse mr sinister bastion is a dude i don't really know much about him and then people are saying gambit could be one of the horsemen of death potentially i don't want to fucking fight like undead gambiters that sounds metal to me though that sounds metal yo imagine a fucking zombie talking to you in creole with some fucking poker references on your ass fellas ain't no texas so we are going to a potentially very interesting place and that scene when gambit die like becomes like a skeleton that's very comic booky as well you can put that on the cover of a comic book or kind of like the big oh fuck moment of the comic book um so yeah we're gonna get some

some crazy shit coming up i have cassandra nova's in play like we're the deadpool villain who is like you know the unborn but then born twin of charles xavier a woman version of him because like i saw some people that thought the watcher was her last week i think it was the watcher but i think she would be cool to loop in as well i saw some people saying they think that they changed her part of the storyline to mr sinister and we might get her in like a lot uh no deadpool right is where they're saying she's gonna be so that that would make sense or i mean hell just there's there's also ways where this is gonna just parlay right into deadpool even though our boy having spoilers i think this is going to parlay into the you know post-credit stuff from the marvel so whatever it is beast was in the lab coat looked very similar to the 97

outfit attire all that yeah we i also have to for anyone that uh didn't watch the originals or even if you did i don't remember this at all go to the youtube video it's called apocalypse quotes i should have sent this to you before just to get your thoughts on it apocalypse is like low-key it's kind of funny how ridiculous he is so you have to just watch that and be like this i don't know if they're going to change him at all for 97 he's pretty like he's a fucking like ancient being so some of this stuff could just be serious just check it out is all i'm going to say it's not like the juggernaut bitch kind of stuff but it is like very deadpan and i would kind of like to see that be the character moving forward so i think we're gonna get the big a man we're kind of just they're just laying all the cards on the table with the big fellas we're only halfway through

the season or a little bit more than that it's crazy that we could have all three of like magneto mr sinister and apocalypse playing a role in uh this season um all right before we get out of here i have a few very quick news items that we can go through the first of which made me laugh but like i am genuinely a fan of this idea disney plus is going to be adding live channels to their programming sounds a little bit like something we know as cable um but yeah they said they're going to add channels for things like star wars and marvel youtube tv right now i'm a youtube tv guy and they have like a walking dead channel where it's like a 24 7 walking dead loop

and i watched walking dead back in the day when it was on and every now and then i'll like to see if you know if it's on season two or season three or like something early that i watched and i remember i like going back and hopping into a marathon at a random point. I love doing it for a show like The Office or Parks and Rec or Seinfeld where you don't have to be like, I'm going to watch this in succession. You're just like, I'm going to hop in at season five and watch the next three episodes. And it's fun like that. I love watching movies on cable. I know like people always joke, like, why would you ever watch a movie on cable if If it's on Netflix, it's like, I don't know. Sometimes I like commercials. It's a

opportunity to go grab a snack or go to the bathroom. So as one of these people, I know that this is ridiculous and I'm applauding them for just redoing cable, but you're crazy. If you don't think I'm going to be watching the star Wars and Marvel channels at all times, I hope that they are like, listen, you know, in order to get this feed into the house at the hd level where you know we strive for you have to get it you know a wire installed run by a train and they literally just have the physical version of cable come back has to be on like its own separate box and you could put you could put they're like we're gonna put a clock on the box too you're gonna have the time on there yeah it's like oh i got this illegal box and it gets you Disney Plus and Prime for free.

There's a lot of ways this can go. Fucking time is a flat circle. Absolutely hilarious. I'm with you, Bob, on that one. Sure. I also have to say. You still have cable, right? Or have you cut the cord?

Listen to this, Bob. I was early on cutting the cord. Had YouTube TV for years. And then YouTube TV, they took away my Knicks. They took away MSG, so I didn't have MSG. And they don't have Yes, which is tough. They don't have Yes, so the Yankee fans. And then I was like, you know what?

I can figure it out. I can find other ways, wink, wink, to watch the Knicks, right? Then they took away SNY. I'm like, well, I have a fucking Mets podcast. I should have been thanking them for taking away the Mets at the end of last season. But I was like, I had to go. I do a DirecTV stream, which is pretty good.

There's not a lot of there's really not a lot of options if you want to watch either Yes or SNY. That's one of them. There is some interface stuff. I was cursing up a storm last night like an old man because I couldn't rewind like 20 seconds. However, I have to say Pluto TV, Bob, do you know about Pluto TV? Have we talked about this in the podcast before? You've told me about Pluto. Yeah. I think we have. As long as I've gone on my rant about it, it's absolutely incredible. If you're a fan of that kind of stuff, Bob says about certain marathon, kind of like watching where you still have the

commercials we do when we go on vacations with friends, we'll turn on the challenge from MTV. It's the old ones when they, it was awesome, ridiculous stuff. And the commercials come on it lets you go to the bathroom you know kind of just like go back to living life has a challenge it has uh jersey shore amazing race uh they have prices right then prices right the barker years so you go barker we got trebek on jeopardy we got wheel of fortune they have all these cops they have all these like classic shows free app it's incredible i'm giving free plug here no free ads i know incredible for the experience bob wants if you don't want to pay for kate disney disney cable or whatever the fuck they're gonna call it um my next news story is the one that i teased before about kevin feige potentially some moves from kevin feige that i love um one that i really love one that's just like kind of a wild rumor

that is going to become a meme immediately the meme what is that he's in talks with sydney sweeney about giving her an mcu role which like of course he is after madam webb he's like no no i'm sorry that they treated you badly over there like come over here sydney we we have a role for you she's gonna be black cat i'm sure the next fucking spider-man or something like dude that picture of black cat where everyone compares it to her you yeah you have to it's almost offensive if you didn't yeah she's she's like made for that role although i was going to say maybe there will be a little confusion because she was in madame webb but like no i don't think there i think people will be like now we'll forget that happened

i'll i'll find a way to put it past my brisket In a movie I actually want to pay like $15 to watch That's all I'm asking Why was she made for that role though? Why do you think she was made for that role? Because she's got blonde hair And her face looks just like the character Oh okay yeah yeah I think you're right

The real cool Foggy news story that I really hope is true He's rumored to be in talks with sam ramey to direct tom holland's spider-man 4 so i know everyone wants sam ramey to come back and do a toby mcguire spider-man 4 but like if that's not going to happen or if even like that could happen but it would have to be a sony verse movie i would rather this i would rather you give sam ramey the tom holland street level spider-man movie where allegedly it's like him and daredevil and possibly ant-man fighting against mayor kingpin this shit sounds great the one worrisome thing is that the movie starts shooting in september and there's no director attached

which is making a lot of people be like so like like, is the director not going to have any say on what's going on? Like, do you just need someone to be a supervisor? Like that's weird. But if it's Sam Raimi, I don't see a world in which you don't give Sam Raimi, like his style, his creative voice. They did it with multiverse of madness. Some people didn't love it, but like that was a very Sam Raimi movie and a lot of the special effects and a lot of the camera shots and the zooms and stuff like that. So I hope that's true. I saw you freaking geeking out about it. And I said,

Bob's geeking out about it. I'm a hundred percent for it. I don't really care either way, but again, Bob's in for it. I'm in for it. I thought you were going to go with that quote about the person where they're like,

it's Taylor Swift dazzler in Deadpool. And the guy was like, I, you know, I can't answer that question. Yeah. You could easily say no to that. So that's why I feel like it's taylor swift dazzler in deadpool and the guy was like i you know i can't answer that question yeah you could easily say no to that so that's why i feel like it's gonna happen yeah i don't know that's another thing that i hope happens but like could they keep it under wraps could they actually keep it from leaking i don't know and you could say they haven't you know it leaked or whatever but like has it i don't know

yeah kelly keys is blogging like everything that's happening every single day for this And you could say they haven't, you know, it leaked or whatever, but like, has it? I don't know. Yeah. Kelly Keys is blogging like everything that's happened every single day for this album release. There's no way she shot a fucking blockbuster movie and it just not one person was able to like sneak it out. So I'm with you on that. You're probably right. And then my final news story, Pruitt Taylor Vince has been cast as Jonathan Kent slash Pa Kent in Superman, James Gunn's Superman. Now, this guy, I don't know from a bunch. Like, I saw that he played Otis in The Walking Dead.

I think I watched those years of The Walking Dead. I just don't remember it because I watched it when it was live. But I saw Robbie Goochman tweeted, like, oh, my God, James Gunn cooked with this. Like, this guy never misses. So I texted Gooch this morning. He said, hey, we're going to do my mom's basement. I don't really know much about this guy, but I saw you were excited about it. Why don't you tell me why?

What's he been in? And Goochman had such a funny response. He's like, oh, I have no idea. I haven't seen him in anything. I just said that because he's a big fat guy. He looks like he's from Kansas. All right. Respect.

I said, i'll mention that gooch he said yeah i think there's a hundred of those guys at the kansas state fair every year i was like goddamn you're right and then he texted me he's like yeah he's like kevin costner he's a great guy but like do you buy him as a normal midwestern man in that movie i was like you're making fucking great point after great point here gooch so i'm with it yeah this guy definitely he looks like a random guy from kansas i'm looking at his like imdb and just it doesn't look like the original that doesn't look like my mr kent personally from the breast yeah yeah from all my years as a super fan uh so i have to say i feel like they're changing it up here i this guy feels like he would have been in the ravagers now he has the face of a rabbit i could see that yeah right which i don't

know goddy too i went on his imvb and one of his most recent movies was goddy i was like oh he was in stranger things and i'm like all right let's cook here and then it was like some random scientist and i don't remember a thing about yeah kind of i trust james gunn with casting though that's one thing that he is like even in i feel like there's certain james gunn movies that people don't remember a thing about. I trust James Gunn with casting, though. That's one thing that he is like, even in, I feel like there's certain James Gunn movies that people don't like or trash on, like Guardians 2, which we've talked about on the podcast. Crazy if you don't like that movie.

But even that, like casting Kurt Russell as fucking Star-Lord's dad, this guy don't miss. He don't miss. He don't miss. Trust the gun at this point, right? Trust the gun. Trust the gun. I will trust the gun. That could be a hashtag for this week trust the gun you got to

do two ends because if you do one end i'm sure that's a right wing hashtag all right second amendment bear arms yeah and i had one it's not like a new story i really wanted to talk about but i was just excited to see seth mcfarland i think last night said he has no plans on stopping family guy and as someone that uses family guy as my comfort show to like fall asleep to every night i'm stoked about that also family guy's still great like if you watch the newest season of family guy on hulu i guarantee you'll get a lot of laughs yeah still still pumping them out huh they're still pumping out good episodes i've heard the simpsons has turned the tide where i don't think it's nearly like the first You know 10 seasons or whatever

But they're saying like everyone that grew up with the show Has kind of brought back that vibe over the last I don't know 5 or so years I've heard that too That it's very watchable at this point Yeah it is one of those things I have to admit Like I don't want I don't even think about watching The Simpsons or Family Guy

But here's some comforting something comforting about knowing they still exist somewhere and when that day comes when they stop it will kind of be like oh fuck you know like I'm just kind of yeah I'm glad that that happened so uh thankfully both of them I mean especially The Simpsons but at this point both of them have so many episodes

where I feel like it's enough for a lifetime to like rewatch and rewatch and rewatch and you can never get tired of for a lifetime to like rewatch and rewatch and rewatch. And you can never get tired of it. A constant loop of rewatch ability. And I, I, again, I'm old enough to remember when family guy,

they took it off the air. I remember loving it. And then it came back as the DVD sales were so good. Cause actually we were actually used to watch it back then. And I remember being in college and we would just watch them and just crack up for hours. And then Fox, someone at Fox was like,

Oh shit. Seems to be that everyone loves this show. Why don't we cancel it? we cancel it so uh yeah kind of like the x-men at some point right there you go it's full circle and hopefully they bring back spider-man and you know we got all of that 90s superhero universe back we'll get captain america at some point what are there three episodes left like he's showing up soon bob that's, this is the culmination of the base right here. Your boy cap. My guy, the, my guys,

man, man, we're fucking there's peace in the base piece in our time before the great DC war of 20 is cap going to like bridge that gap between humans and mutants where he's like, no, I'm standing up for them. They're just like us.

And he can, people are like, Oh, I was captain America. I'm a super human. Yeah. He's like the leader of the humans. That be that would be gnarly fuck i don't know if i wonder who's gonna do his voice i wonder if it's like did they have captain america in the 90s i think he showed up in an x-men era and a spider-man i mean at some point but i don't know if they'll do the same voice

it'd be kind of cool to hear chris evans to his voice i don't know if they'll do the same voice. It'd be kind of cool to hear Chris Evans do his voice. I don't know if they would do that. Who's higher in your rankings, Spider-Man or Cap? Great question. Growing up, I was more of a Spider-Man guy for sure. I was never a Cap guy until the MCU. I feel like that's most people. Same with me and Iron Man. Never liked Iron Man until the MCU.

I think Spider-Man is slightly higher, to honest as I'm thinking about it like Cap is my guy through the Avengers movies and his own movies but like Spider-Man was there for me when I was like three years old and Spider-Man is still here for me yeah so I feel like it's probably that and Tom Holland is crushing so it's like crushing I love Tom Holland is Spider-Man even like I still stick up for No Way Home when people trash it on Twitter now. They're like, oh, you can tell it's a COVID movie. Never more than two people on screen at once. Like, shut the fuck up. It's a great movie. Yeah. Oh, we got Angry Bob

by the end of the podcast. Yes, I didn't mean to bring him out, but he's here. Folks, I can't put him back in the cage. See, that shows I'm a real Spider-Man guy. You start coming at my guy, Peter Parker, I'm like, shut the fuck up. Even the Spider-Verse movies, Spider-Man is just Spider-Man guy. You know, you start coming at my guy, Peter Parker. I'm like, shut the fuck up. And I'm going to spider first movies. Like Spider-Man is just spider. How,

how could he not be number one Marvel? And I mean, going back to those COVID times, like, you know, we did, at least in the beginning, we were talking ourselves into captain,

the winter soldier. I do think you will wear this cat movie being terrible. If it truly is, I don't think you're going to spend grant. It's not the cap that, you know, made you a cap fan back in the day but i think it's gonna be good though see harrison ford you know they're they already we know the line from cinema con apparently someone walks up to him it's like new look and he's like yeah they told me i had to shave the mustache or i wouldn't win the election it's like right, you're doing the Iron Man two thing where it's like, you're acknowledging the recasting by not acknowledging it.

So I, I, I like that. And I also like that you're, you've already like started your bullet points on your, this is, you're basically the shield. You're the Adam and Jim shield for Captain America.

All right, everyone. Hashtag trust the gun, two ends again, trust the gun. And we'll be back next week to discuss another episode of X-Men 97. I can't wait.

Enjoy your mahi-mahis down in Cancun, Party Bob. I will.
