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, coming to you live from Pup Punk Studios in New York City with my co-host Clem, coming to you live from his basement, as always. My kid's mom's basement. That's where we're coming from right now. There you go. Shout out Nick Hammy. You and him have been putting in work there for this studio. It looks fucking awesome. I think next time I'm in the city

that will have to be our spot to record. Nick was like, hey, you know, I could set you guys all up. I'm like, Nick, I love having someone as smart and creative as you at Barstool. And it's like, well, like. This isn't even, like, the good side of the studio, too. Like, the more, like, we got posters and stuff set up on the wall.

Piano over here. Another piano over here. Guitars over there. It's actually starting to, like, take shape. It's becoming a thing and pop punk is about to be going back on tour shout out our boy nathan for the poster oh that's right yeah look i have the poster here nathan hurst who does all of our artwork actually did this poster years ago as a joke as like imagine pop punk went on tour and i made a poster for them and then years later we're going on tour.

And I was like, Hey dude, let's use that. That thing was awesome. Off the leash tour. Also named by Nathan Hurst. So check out these dates right here. Chicago,

Columbus, Nashville, DC, Philly. If you are a my mom's basement listener in any of those cities, come to a show, especially the Chicago one. Cause that's coming up soon.

May 31st. The rest of the dates are in August. But the PFT is actually flying into New York City tomorrow. We have our first practice for the Chicago show. It's very exciting. That's awesome, man. I feel like a lot of Barstool stuff starts as a joke and then it becomes real. I guess it pop punk started as a joke and it became real. Totally. the original concept i've said it before so if you've heard this before and you're sick of it i'm sorry but the original concept for pop punk was make back to school our first music video and then do an

immediate behind the music vh1 style documentary about our breakup and how it's like oh roan got hooked on heroin robbie got hooked on meth. You know, like crazy rock star stories. PFT went off and had a successful solo career. The rest of the band resented him for it. Stuff like that. And then people were like, you should just make another song. So we just kept making more songs. And eventually, that behind the music will be coming.

We'll get to it one of these days. It's six years later. But yeah, we're here today to talk about X-Men 97. We had the second part of our season one finale tolerance is extinction i just watched it like right before we recorded this watched it did all my notes so i'm coming in fresh and clem oh my god what an episode it's crazy every week we sound like broken records the show just keeps getting better and better though like this is amazing this was phenomenal fucking morph is hulk what you know it's funny because i thought about it because you said oh i have to just watch x-men before we go live i go that's gonna be a lot to like it took me you know i've had about almost 36 hours to decompress since that episode

and i feel good you're coming in just fresh in the mind just slapped in there and yeah man it's uh i i've already done two blogs about how fucking good this show is i did one after like the first episode or maybe first couple and was just like hey x-men is back and it's fucking awesome and then i did one after i guess the genosha episode because that was such a powerful episode i was like like, hey, guys, I know I just said it's awesome. It's fucking even better than awesome. Like, it's one of the best things. And now, I mean, unless they completely pull a Thrones

in the finale here for the season, I honestly think you could say best show Marvel's ever done. It's that or Loki. And it's crazy. Yeah, no, you're right, though. Like, done. It's that or Loki. And it's crazy. Yeah. No, you're right though. Like there aren't a lot of others like Loki.

And then there's these five other shows that were all, it's like, you know, it's one end, one of the other. Yeah. Pretty fucking good. Cause Loki is that good in my mind.

So yeah, it was, it was incredible. And that was the thing. Like I saw the time for the episode and it was like less than 30 minutes. And I was like, really, guys? I know it's a three parter, but come on. Like, I felt almost cheated.

And it's like, no, man, they they don't leave any fat on the bone. That shit is just flaming on every single week. They're just bringing it to the table. Yeah, it didn't feel short, even though, like, I noticed the same thing as you that runtime was like under 30. And I was like, oh, fuck. But like at the end of the episode it felt totally normal felt like a total like complete x-men 97 arc and you know it's still got a cliffhanger as the ending but it felt like just slots in with the rest of them and shout out our boy michael waldron writer and creator of loki actually showed this

show some respect and put it on his Instagram, best show on television. Wow. Wow. I mean, that's heavy words from the Waldron, man. Yeah. So let's get into this episode. It was great stuff. We begin with humans turning into prime sentinels. You get a lot of really dramatic shots of them, the world just turning to chaos and anarchy and all shots of the heroes, you magneto kind of just looking moody the rest of the heroes processing what's happening to the world and the first conversation we get in the episode is one that we kind of like brought up last week we're like are any of the x-men gonna be like hey dude what the fuck when xavier gets back and yeah right away scott summers of course the you know the angsty boy over here he he's like, dude, what the hell?

And professor X tells him, he's like, my biggest fear has come true for you in that you're helping create this world for mutants that you can't even enjoy because you're too wrapped up in creating it. You know, they have nice talk. You were my first students. You graduated long ago. You're still here. Um, good conversation and i feel like it was

necessary to get over that hump especially with our angsty teen-esque sky and i know he's not a teen anymore but he his personality is that of an angsty teen scott summers it's very it's like the flip side of the yondu and star lord relationship like fres Professor X almost had him, I don't want to say with cake gloves, but he probably was looked at as a good father figure for Scott, and Scott is not happy with the way it's all. Now it's soured on him where Star-Lord realized all the shit Yondu did. This might sound like a hot take, but I'm going to stand by it. Cyclops leaving Professor X hanging there.

He was trying to give him the pound and he won none of it. That might be the worst thing anyone's done in this show so far. We had a pet genocide. We had some pretty rotten stuff. We had someone who stole a baby, gave it a disease. Put it in the goo. If you go just list out the stuff in this show man it is fucking twisted genosha pretty bad yeah yeah very bad actually bad um and also you said with the

sentinels did you notice i don't know if you noticed because you just watched the intro we got prime sentinels in the intro where the humans are running before the X-Men and Magneto and his like brotherhood of mutants collide, those humans have become Prime Sentinels. This show is so fucking good. Yeah, I did the clap emoji. So fucking good. It really is, though. Every week I look at that like I'm in a doctor's office reading the highlights and I'm trying to spot the difference on the intro every week. I'm like, where is it?

And then when I saw the Prime Sentinels, I was i was like nice that's a good one for this week especially you know lead into the finale it's like humanity is at stake even the ones in the intro um rogue is having nightmares about gambit and the first shot of her i don't know if it's just my my dirty brain or something but it's a shot of Rogue with her eye closed. She's like, oh, Remy. And I'm like, whoa, what is this show doing? I know it's for adults, but not that much. But no, they're just nightmares about her. And Nightcrawler tries to comfort her.

They have a nice brother-sister type relationship while Storm returns to the mansion. And I love the way Beast dapped up Forge when he got in. That was one of my notes i was like beast just went right up to forge was like what up my man oh just two gear heads just you know and i really again i talk about i don't really have any love for ford but i at forge but i love beast's love of forge and it's like those two guys could just talk for hours they would make me feel so stupid if i just listen to their conversations and talking about popular the latest article in

popular science or some shit you know i like to imagine that it's 97 so podcasts don't exist but if they were in a podcasting world their relationship would be almost like ours in that like they talk all the time online and then when they get together it's like oh we're we're you know running all over the town now because that's what we do you know you and me when we get together we just go out till four in the morning partying brother um and the x-men plan to relocate to their old base on mirror island they need to convince magneto to reverse the damage to earth before it becomes permanent he's shut down all the magnetism and you know all that shit that he does with magnets that's his deal that reminds me so you're in the x mansion and i forgot about obviously what magneto did just basically killing electricity that might be the worst thing anyone's done in

this show and not just because of like all like people that could have died, you know, on like, they said like electric cars or, you know, any kind of shit. When you don't have power in your house for like even a few hours, it's like the worst thing in the world. You wonder if you're going to survive, if you're going to make it, or if you're going to lose your mind and the entire world like that, dude. I mean, by day two, it's like, everyone turns into the Raiders in uh last month

basically like everyone's losing their mind and it just nothing feels right you can't really how does it work i think i can you can shower but the water doesn't work if you have a certain kind of cold or something yeah it's hot water heater stops working yeah it's no good so magneto he may be right magneto made some good points i don't know if we're ready to say we were a little we were a little over our skis maybe really just pass uh you know pumping them up when me and trent were watching game of thrones i was watching it for the first time trent was re-watching it before the final season we were powering through we had like two two months before the final season to watch the whole series and we were just like let's go let's go let's watch as much as we can

and the weekends this is so crazy we would wake up at like 9 a.m and watch 10 straight episodes of game of thrones 10 in one day and one morning we woke up and it was like psc and g or something con ed might might have been one of the other the power was out on our block and us sitting there just stewing. Like we can't get it. We can't get drones. We woke up early to watch thrones. One of the worst days of my life looking back. So yeah,

Magneto shutting down the power. I agree. Even though it was again, 97. So it's like, maybe people were a little bit better at dealing with technology. No power. Horrible.

Just a horrible move by Magneto. I still remember one black guy we had and it was during the winter. Those are the bad ones too. Cause it's obviously the key and stuff. And I remember being like, so like downtrodden during an NFL playoff game as well. I believe it was bears, Panthers and Steve Smith went crazy.

And I'm just fucking like, come on. What's it going to do? You always turn the light switch on and off when you leave, you know, you're so used to it. I don't have it. And at one point, Bob, I swear to God, what's it going to do? You always turn the light switch on and off when you leave. You're so used to it. I don't have it. And at one point, Bob, I swear to God, I did it like three times. It wasn't the first time I did it, but I did the

Undertaker lights up and the third time it actually worked. I'm a god. I am a god. It's like if you ever tried to do the fourth and something actually flew into your hand. That's exactly what it would have felt yeah uh absolutist everyone in this fucking 97 universe is probably like moody as shit they're dirty they're oh they're bored like you said it's different time there

is some internet but it's very little i'm telling you as an old back who was you know alive in 97 they're not no one's happy right now there's gonna be a civil war just based on like not be able to watch tv and shit yeah i like that wolverine like put it on front street it's like i think we should just kill him and everyone's like kill out logan like everyone immediately he's like i'll handle it you know he put this then friggin spikes out um bastion is also i think it's professor x who points it out the command center controlling all the prime sentinels they're like we got to shut down the command center but there is no command center oh the command center is bastion he's like half man half mutant half tech half robot

um and they need to uh defeat him and then hopefully after they defeat him they can convince magneto stop what you're doing which like i don't want to think about it too much but if you just turn off all the magnetism you can just flip it back on is that a light switch for magneto i don't know that's definitely professor he just figured it out you know it's it's like you have like a tech guy over yeah he'll figure it out don't worry about it and like my thing is what was professor x going to do is he's like i'm just going to go up there and be like cut it out it's like knock it off it off. You're with the TC stands. This line I thought was crazy from Storm. Storm has a good episode, but she just walks up to Beast and Forge.

They're working on the anti-Bastion tools, technology, whatever. And she goes, impress me. I was like, oh, my God. Imagine Margot Robbie walking up to you and being like, impress me. You would be like Stan and puke in wendy's face a literal god is telling you to impress her yeah i mean the boys they're gonna try their damnedest that's the one thing about that fucking duo yeah they did a decent job i think i think maybe she was kind of like being nice to him at the end like they started talking tech when she said that exactly you have to be like oh you

know the transistor and this and that and hoping you just speak a number of whirly-whirly nonsense that she's going to believe you. But they're like, oh, take powers away. And she goes, boom, wrong answer. Right. You know, it's like when you say to Porto, you say something and it's like one of his like arch nemesis. You didn't know.

We're not going to deal with that guy. That guy sucks. Fuck him, dude. Professor X tries to comfort rogue uh via remy gambit again characters just keep trying to comfort her she's wearing his jacket which i thought was a cool detail you know she looks cool in it too like with the green outfit everything um and professor x seems like he he's kind of realizing that maybe abandoning the x-men was a bad idea like Like, he keeps saying

like, the pain I feel, I'm hurting so much. It's like, I'm sure you are after you were up there with your fucking bird empire. Yeah, give that guy some bird pussy he'd be ready just to ditch all these guys yet again. I love the X-Men, I love them. It's tough, like

in this, especially the way shit is gone, it's tough for Mr. X right now. Let gone it's tough for mr x right now let's just call it that you know it is his kids are kind of like rebelling against him they're like yeah you're you're my dad but you weren't here for me i maybe we should mobius to raise him right mobius uh magneto appears with an asteroid out of nowhere out of the out of the sky you see an asteroid form i don't know what it was at first it was like is the sky falling is that an asteroid is that uh like avengers 2 when they pick up fucking slovakia or sokovia whatever it was it's essentially like that's their way of making a fictional version of czechoslovakia yeah um and magnus i love he

kept calling him magnus the whole episode the professor x thing uh says he was abandoned for a goddamn bird queen he doesn't say goddamn but he calls her a bird queen and i was like that feels like a shot like belittling her like that um he promised a boy a future free of fear only to watch his eyes vaporized in his tiny little skull when he says that it's like oh how do you argue professor x you weren't there for genosha how do you argue with this guy he's the only one looking out for mutants i'm i'm gonna say it now i wasn't sure about it but after that line i think leech may not be alive anymore i was like oh he didn't see a body he might be alive still yeah i think vaporized in his tiny little skull like that usually means death yeah because remember they were like oh the omega

threat is no longer detected it's because he used his leech powers it's like no or his eyes evaporated in tiny inside his tiny skull oh magnus though isn't pulling the punches with this one he's letting it all hang out and then in like a very like x2 moment he he's like i'm introducing a new genosha and professor x is like we're not gods like you can't do that and he says gods abandon those who believe in them mutants do not. And he takes a couple of the X-Men. He takes Rogue and he takes Sunspot.

Despite Jubilee, like, begging Sunspot not to go. He's like, fuck that. My mom's a bitch. I'm going with this guy. And he's got a little team. It's, you know, having Rogue and Sunspot isn't like you're going to build a fucking franchise off of this. But it's a starter. And he's in the process of a rebuild.

He has a couple draft picks there. It's like an expansion draft. They're not your first or second pick. Rogue's a great one. Sunspot's like, alright, it's like when you do the $5, $4, $3, $2, the tier graphics, you grab the $1 because you grabbed the $5 up top.

Yeah. Rogue at her best could be like a $5 maybe a four dollars great yeah especially with the captain marvel stuff and running through her veins uh sunspot straight up one and i was like get the fuck over there dude i hope you i hope we kill you at some point just get you and your stupid parents off of this show for good uh but we knew this was coming we said like it does that's one of my favorite thing about the x-men is that sometimes like they'll some of the good guys will become bad guys some of the bad guys become good guys and even like or apocalypse takes you and changes your complete dna and you become archangel instead of angel or shit like that and usually when the good guys turn bad they have like decent reasoning for it you can understand

them so when they come back to the good team you feel more like oh we redeemed you we there was light in you all along you know it's more of like that instead of oh it's just a heel turn and a face turn you could always at least be like all right i see why they did that they're wrong but i could see why they did that yeah i mean magneto himself it's like he is the big bad and every and he's like the guy it's like you know but everything he says has some truth in it and like sometimes i'm room for him to win in the end so yeah it's a very fair point it's one of the cool things i mean other than shutting the power off i agree with pretty much everything magneto's done. Like, everything. And anything he did, you see the reason for it, like you said.

Yeah. Every single thing. It's crazy. Scott and Nathan talk about how his lineage is confusing, pretty much. They're like, but, you know, my mother and Madeline, and they're like, I know it's confusing. Even though I get confused by it,

that's them talking to the audience. They're like, we get it. Thanks for sticking with us through this. We know it's tricky, but we wanted Cable on the show, and that was good. Shout out our boy Jose for bringing up the Joseph dialogue last week. You got to listen to Jose.

By the way, I didn't say it during the podcast, but it was in my mind from the moment I saw him. He was wearing a Superman shirt. Just going to say. He was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got this saw he was wearing a superman shirt just gonna say yeah yeah yeah that was tough um and we get

this great line that i actually blogged about because i love the line so much where uh scott throws cable his suit and he's like you expect me to wear that and it's the classic you know blue and yellow looking x-men suit he says buddy what did you expect black leather going back to the first x-men movie which we recapped on this very show go back that's an evergreen podcast it's a good one um and after this by the way i figured maybe the week after this wraps up we'll get back into that we'll do days of future past that'd be fun yeah keep the good x-men vibes rolling you know i think we have days of future past and then maybe re-watch the deads. Do we have any other X-Men that we have to do?

Or is that basic? Like, I don't... There was maybe Logan. It could be we could maybe do Logan. I was going to say maybe do Logan and we could touch on Origins and the Wolverine there as just like the Wolverine trilogy. But really, we're not going to spend a lot of time on them.

We don't want to talk about bad movies. We'll watch a YouTube recap of those and then put them in our recap. We don't want to talk about bad movies we'll watch a youtube recap of those and then yeah we don't want to do apocalypse and dark phoenix either not happening i could probably not happen i'm sorry yeah we're keeping it positive on the nobody wants to relive those nobody yeah no um where are we up to here oh but they they all suit up together in this moment and because they're at their old base they they have like their old suits. So Cyclops has the fucking, you know, the cap suit. Jean Grey has her classic suit, which I thought when it was in the glass might look goofy, but I liked it when she was actually wearing it. And then Wolverine with the uncanny suit with the fucking like maroon, which I liked last week he got a suit destroyed and there was no part of me that was like oh maybe next week he'll get a new suit because it's a cartoon i'm like he'll just have another i picture him having a cartoon closet yeah i was like let me take an you know the next wolf re-suit that looks exactly the same but them changing it a little bit is

awesome that's like continuity that most cartoons don't have it's like the intro kind of and the fact that they found an excuse to have it where it makes sense just in the line of the story i loved it wasn't like they just showed up with the new costumes yeah yes and it was very much like when the nba has a throwback week or something like that and you're just like all the good vibes and the brown wolverine was like my favorite wolverine growing up i enjoyed the yellow yeah the blue but that was like my guy that's how i like found him so it's like i always associate that cyclops i don't love i like the current you know on steroids with the little x thing in the middle of his chest which i'm not even sure what that's i like that one too you like that one too uh it's nice to see the bald

cat but now i think of like frozone right away when i see a costume like that from the incredibles that's it's a ball cap that throws me off that's a good point cyclops has some flow for all the shit he takes the guy's got great flow yeah you you're like how does he end up with a girl like gene well he's fucking ripped he's a leader and he has sick lettuce on top of course he does speaking of gene too like that outfit i'm like that that doesn't leave a lot for the imagination. She's a flyer too. People are looking up. I'm like, it's- I was thinking about that with Storm's outfit too.

Yeah. When she put the outfit on this week, there was part of me that was just like, all right, so the X-Men are just saying like, we wear outfits just to get like sweet fits off, right? Like there's nothing about that that helps her in any way. This, the X-Men are a product of the 70s. They're, you know, it's's flower power love child kind of stuff so you think like that when all these things a lot of these suits were probably being wheeled out it may it makes a little more sense and that storm i hadn't realized it that's her suit from the arcade game from back in the day too which is

awesome bad ass storm yeah exactly there's a wrestler for WWE. She came from AEW. She was kind of like a homegrown AEW talent. Her name's Jade Cargill. And she's now in WWE ripped. And she's like fucking super tall. A lot of Storm inspired outfits. Because people will always like fan cast her as Storm. So she even like dyed her hair silver for her like WrestleMania debut and shit. I'm waiting for her to do this outfit.

Because I know enough fans are gonna ask for it where she's gonna be like all right i guess i'm doing the fucking black storm outfit um this is one of the coolest storm outfits out there like we talked about if you like mohawk storm or non-mohawk storm at the beginning of the season i do like mohawk storm but seeing this i was like mohawk storm ain't the one. Yeah, she ain't the one. And the blue and gold team, that just brings me back to reading the comic books. And you had X-Men and Uncanny X-Men and the different franchises, but they're all the same. You look to see, like I mentioned, whose faces were in the little comic thing to know which characters are going to be showing up.

I love that shit. And the line Storm and Jean had, make them mind your weather sister and then weather your mind bars fucking bars i wrote that one down to be like just shout out the writer here might have been beau de mayo whoever wrote that line that is fucking poetry right there it rhymes basically you know not literally but metaphorically um professor x talks to president kelly via telepathy in the Oval Office. I have a take about this Professor X. And it's not a take about the Professor X from the original cartoon. It's specifically X-Men 97.

He says my X-Men way too much. I know that's his thing. I know, to me, my X-Men. Brother, you abandon these x-men i don't know if they're your x-men at this point they're kind of like magneto's x-men right now there there's a case like from a certain point of view as a wise man once said in a galaxy far far away presser x kind of like a dictator in a way you could say what's about our x-men you know the x-men you know like don't take all

the credit you've been off on fucking bird planet forever you lost the mind when you were swimming in that bird pussy and you can get to my back it's it's not gone forever you know if you lead them to fucking battle here and you come out on top they're your x-men again i'm with you there but like i don't know it just felt weird i just don't like it i said it i believe in the when the blog when they had like the trailer or whatever and he's like with my x or cyclops says it i just don't like it it just does not resonate with me other people that make it just doesn't with me and again like there's enough l's piling on that fucking poor guy that it's like i i just do not

i do not like it at all and here's the big battle sequence which had the line that you mentioned to make them mind your weather and weather your mind because storm and forge are trying to draw all the sentinels to the sky to distract so the ground team can get in um the ground team is cable gene beast and morph they're trying to get to bastion while the team of wolverine and cyclops and all them they're going up to magneto ship and then you also have storm and force so there's a lot of stuff going on at once but they do a good job of not making it too confusing um this is where morph turns into the fucking hulk like what an awesome cameo that's not a cameo like it's not the hulk but it is the hulk and once again it's like oh i guess he's got hulk smash powers he hits a morph smash that was great i loved that i loved beast hitting the

sentinel with a bunch of hand puns oh let me give you a hand what does one hand clapping sound like he fucking swings it at him. And we get a cool matchup between Mr. Sinister and Jean Grey. Knowing their history, especially their history this season with the Madeline Pryor stuff, kind of a big time matchup, kind of like a, oh, we saved this for WrestleMania. And she fucking beats his ass with bowling balls. He gets the better of her for a while in this exchange. And then she kind of embraces Madeline.

She's like, Madeline is here fighting with me. And she starts throwing bowling balls at him. Like it was kind of a Kevin McAllister move, like throwing paint cans at someone. I actually wrote fighting Jean gray in a bowling alley is horrifying. I didn't know how scary having any time, any kind of person with telekinetic abilities is probably terrifying enough. But when she's like, Oh, I'm going gonna throw the balls and the jukebox at you and like mr sinister i'm not gonna cry any tears for mr man but fuck man that's that's

gnarly that was some gnarly shit there i saw a world star video like this recently i'm not even lying i know you're talking about throws the bowling ball at the girl and hits her in the fucking head that That was insane. You could kill someone like that. I don't think they did kill her based on that video being like a viral thing and nobody mentioning it. But it was crazy. So I saw that video. And I was like, do I blog this?

And I was like, the video starts. And I'm like, oh, this is a lay like i because i the video starts and i'm like oh this is a lamp this is like a barstool block yeah and then i saw the girl hit the other girl with the bowling ball in the head and i said i don't i think that's a if it was a guy to guy and the guy was all right i could do it so about seeing a girl get hit with and the girl drops she goes down immediately like she's knocked out for sure i don't like blogging stuff where a girl gets her. I do not like blogging stuff where there's potentially a murder involved. And then I saw Marty blogged it later that night. I don't know if it went up or not.

He wrote it. I don't know if they published it or not, but I saw that like a day earlier and I was like, it was like, you see the fish and I was like, I'm just going to throw that one back and hope, hopefully no one else sees it. And Marty saw it.

And I can only imagine Marty's take on the entire thing, but yeah. And she grades just doing that now. Granted, they did that. Yeah. Doing that to like a Magneto who is kind of a frenemy would have been a bit far doing it to Bastion who like was a responsible Genosha.

Completely fine. Mr. Sinister created a clone of you fake kid you don't know which life is yours your husband leaving you kid goes away i think fair enough but still hardly shit man i feel like you said that's the perfect way to say it feels like this was the summer slam match between them but we are going to get a real point true yes yes uh meanwhile wolverine cyclops professor x and Nightcrawler arrive on Magneto's ship. Once again, just got to shout out the BAMF noise.

Like, the actual physical noise they use in this is so good. Professor X tries to reason with Magneto while everyone else is immediately scrapping. It is on site for everyone else. Sunspot is trying to apologize. Jubilee is not having it. He, like, sunspot kind of like hits jubilee and he's like oh fuck i don't want to hit a girl that's my friend like what am i doing here and even while he's apologizing she's like fuck you she's using all her powers fireworks

all over the place on the ground bastion sees mr sinister but sees right through him because it's actually morph as mr sinister he sees he's got like the collar thing on or whatever. Storm and Forge go down. They're knocked off by Sentinels. Mr. Sinister reveals that he just wanted Cable all along. He's like, you guys are just bait for who I really wanted. And then Cable is like being controlled by him through telekinetic stuff because he's the daughter of a telekinetic. You know, it's a whole fucking thing.

It's confusing. We get it. And Gene says, I love you to Cyclops as he sees her for a second. He sees what's happening. She's like, I love you. But it doesn't look like she's able to hold cable off for much longer. So it was possibly a Shawn Michaels. Like, I'm sorry.

I love you. Like someone's going down here. Maybe it's a sacrifice. Pretty crazy. Dude, it's so funny. You said Shawn Michaels. I love you. Like someone's going down here. Maybe it's a sacrifice. Um, pretty crazy, dude. It's so funny. You said show Michaels. I love you.

Like to Ric Flair. Cause I wrote Jean dies more than Ric Flair retires. Like, I can't believe we're going to have another Phoenix or rising, whatever the fuck it may be. And I was, I've been reading about this recently cable. He is like a telepath telekinetic,

telekinetic, all that kind of stuff. and being the son of two extremely powerful mutants and which is why sinister wanted them together and to get the offspring but i think because so much of his uh powers were fighting off the virus that he had it kind of like nerfs him a little bit but if he didn't have the virus he should be like the most powerful mutant or one of them alive. So the fact that he then, like, just turns it on and is fucking up Jean Grey, who's, like,

fucking 99 overall when she's at her best, it kind of is like, oh, shit, this is bad. And Mr. Sinister just having, like, the little sinister button that just turns on the little sinister red gem in their head and can make a Goblin Queen or a bad bad guy Cable. It's fucking it's crazy, man's it's nuts and

asteroid m i can't believe they i guess i can't believe they brought it back i can't believe that's magneto's just thing though it's just i'm just having to bring it to earth bring it up get this shit out of here man my fucking house is destroyed and you've got to be fucking flaunting a asteroid trying to lure all my team away from me it's fucking not right there's also got to be something to like my neighbors behind us growing up started growing a tree and it was right in the path of like our pool so it just our pool was blocked by this tree the sun was blocked the pool never got warm ever again it was a freezing cold pool this has to exist on earth if he's bringing the asteroid there constantly there's probably people out on the beach nice day asteroid appears shade immediately it's like oh fucking magneto again

what the fuck i guarantee that they were like pro mutant humans that became anti-human just because like this fuck i don't know any mutants in my life but i got this one fucking guy up here on the answer they're all new yorkers he's over dave's house in miami or something and dave is doing a rant about magneto popping bottles for him and stuff um and then the ending of the episode clem the amount of people that tweeted us and even dm'd me not only on twitter but on instagram as well and just said hey i just wanted to say the first thought that went through my head at the end of X-Men this week was that was metal. That made me so happy. I swear to God, I got maybe five or six people tweeting or DMing.

Just that was metal. And it's a great pun because it quite literally is metal. They take Magneto's helmet off. Xavier is able to shut his mind down for maybe a second, like a minute. He's up very quickly, powers back up, puts his mask on Xavier. his helmet off xavier is able to like shut his mind down for maybe a second like a minute he's up very quickly powers back up puts his mask on xavier fucking boom clonks it on his head and then wolverine is like you're not gonna do that to my fucking professor stabs him little fucking snicked boom stabs him through the back and then says the brave always die first he's like

i've been in a lot of wars bub the brave always die first magneto then rips the goddamn adamantium out of his bones fucking metal everywhere you see it kind of like almost looks like veins popping out and the ending screenshot of the episode because it's like interesting the way that they almost freeze frame on it at the end is pulled directly from the comics and i'm sure people like jose who grew up reading these comics and as their bible essentially were coming themselves when they saw the like side by side of oh my god they did it exact so awesome and what an what an ending to the second part of the finale the penultimate episode

where it sets us up for, no, I don't want to compare everything to infinity war end game, but to put the heroes down at the end of this one, you empire strikes back to, to change the comparison, but keep it the exact same next week. We'll hopefully be returned to the Jedi or it might not be next week.

Might be fucking digging us further down into this hole before Deadpool or something. Something bad's happening next week it's just whether it happens in the beginning of the end of the episode to t season two right let's all come to the agreement on that uh metal af metal af that was the last note i had about the wolverine thing uh so i didn't see this coming at first until when we had met with jose weekend, he said, this is like fatal attractions.

And then I said, Oh shit, that's the one he had the little hologram cards on the cover of the whole series. It was like five comic books long. And the one thing I remember from that entire run was when Wolverine gets his fucking adamantium ripped out of his body. And then I don't know if we're gonna get it in the beginning of next week or if disney's gonna be like all right we've gone pretty fucking hardcore like his bones

are just everywhere and it's a fucking it's it's as if a guy gross it's like a guy had his uh metal covered bones had the metal ripped out and the bones are just all over the place and it said like in the book it's like wolverine it's like couldn't even scream it's like that's the kind of like level pain he doesn't even know what's going on i think they said gene was the only person who like said anything and it was just like what the fuck uh and it's gonna be very interesting to see what what comes next from what i remember uh but holy fuck just like an all-time like i can't believe that happened you're thinking too you're like he's fucking sneaky like he's not gonna do it is he but it's like he got magneto you're thinking yeah we won and then it's like oh no in fact you very much lost and i again hate to hate to be a hater

here it's like you almost have to be like i know wolverine is just gonna do whatever he wants to do sometimes he's like uh the guy made a medal you're not on the magneto duty because it's almost like the way magneto says it too it's like finally i can just like stop pulling the punches here this is the dad that has like been you know giving you the shots and not not really like playing basketball too hard again he's like all right now you want to fucking talk shit now i'm going to back it down what is it 18 shots down low and then three 17 17 so i mean just i magneto's been dreaming of doing that to met the dual reprise since the first moment he met him and wolverine said something off color he's like i could just rip your fucking skeleton out of your body and uh yeah absolutely gnarly very i know it's like anime uh related but it's like invincible i get a lot of invincible

vibes with some of those shots especially with the the blood and the anguish on the face. When Xavier had him was dancing in his mind and Magneto's eyes were fucking like white light was coming out of it. That was incredible. The whole game of the helmet goes off of

Magneto to Wolverine, then onto Professor X. It was awesome the way they played that out. underrated like skating under the line of everything cyclops pulled the goddamn star-lord and like kind of everybody because professor adam and again no one knew he was going to rip wolverine's entire life out of his body but that's what happens when you don't let the crazy maniac mutant fucking lunatic have like full reign of his powers when he's in this state of mind do you think

next week we have gambit coming back as a horseman of the apocalypse a lot of people are talking about that teasing it you know speculating on it i don't know anything about it comic wise but the idea of that sounds fucking awesome to me like he's coming back as a dead horseman of the apocalypse oh my god that sounds cool yeah the

the death because the image of him went to skull after you know when professor x saw him i love it i love all the when they involve apocalypse and these guys come back it's really like a lot of wrestling soap opera that's exactly yeah and it's like anyone who's dead is the most alive person on the planet. So, yeah, give me that if not this season, next season. But there's no X-Men that I want, or villain for that matter, that I want dead forever. Just spin all these guys out. And kind of the way they bring them back is more creative

than a lot of the ways a lot of franchises do it. So give me that. Maybe Apocalypse next week. There's a lot of franchises do it. So give me that. Um, maybe apocalypse next week. There's a lot of apocalypse talk. There's still talk about, uh, what's his face, the fucking big Sentinel made out of professor X and.

Onslaught. Yeah. I, so onslaught, I thought based on what I was reading about him, like was like a beloved thing, but I think some people said they kind of like bungled it, but it's a cool idea. I think jose doesn't love onslaught i've heard that from a few people

but i think the idea of it and i if i could be wrong i think like the onslaught saga if i i think i read it and i think i by the end i was like all right i think i'm gonna take a break from this right now like that was a lot didn't really pay off i have to go back and check i don't remember but i feel like that might be the case however people are like oh fuck onslaught could be coming yeah so it's like i i this fucking series dude i have total utter faith in whoever's gonna be like running it obviously for the finale and then you know next season even though bo to mayo is uh sounds he's not coming back i still don't know what he did which is still weird that nobody's put it out why he got fired that you know super successful show critically

streaming numbers everything about it is a success but something about him wasn't i don't know yeah i i know the two things we had heard was one he was difficult to work with and two of the the only fans thing got out where he has an only fans but like between the the quality of the work here and like disney isn't that fucking tight you know where they're gonna like kick someone off for being an asshole if you couldn't have an asshole you know running your shit half the people in hollywood more so wouldn't even be able to do it and only fans at this point it's like almost like having a twitter and an instagram uh but i was talking to kyle who we were kyle galling and he said that uh i believe it was like a entertainment insider someone was like you know this is the time of second chances

how come boat is he gonna second chance and the person wrote i'm gonna bookmark this you can come back to it i saw that yeah when the reasons come out come out because it's it's bad and it's like the people that are teasing it are teasing that it's really bad. Yeah. Which like, again, we don't know anything. So we don't know if that's even true, but there are some people on Twitter teasing that, like when it comes out, you'll be like, oh, that's why he got fired.

Yeah. Did he, is he bastard? Is he real? That was X-Men 97 for this week. Tolerance is extinction. Part two, part part three next week i can't wait for it's going to be a very anticipated finale um and we'll of course be here to break it down now we want to tell the people about game time uh because i used game time this past week clem i went to a once in a lifetime concert thanks to game time i tried to get tickets because i heard motley crew was doing a secret show at the bowery ballroom in new york city which holds

It's my favorite. Can't get a Nicky Six pick without GameTime. Nicky Six picks. The home of Nicky Six picks. Exactly. Look at that. I bought Six pick without Game Time. Nikki Six picks. The home of Nikki Six picks. Exactly. Look at that. I bought a ticket on Game Time. I went home with a free souvenir, which I caught a pick mid-show.

Literally mid-show. Got a pick. I was like, this is awesome. At the end of the show, he walked out with a Solo Cup, right? And he just went like that. And in the Solo Cup, full of picks. Clem, grown men and women with grandchildren as their lock screens i saw it over their shoulder grandchildren as their locksmiths on their hands and knees on the fucking sticky

floor looking for pics i was like what i got right the fuck out of there like that's i had my souvenir i was good for the night i'm going home but i could not like i got like pushed by my knee it's like a grandpa almost took my acl out it was crazy did you catch the pick in the air i caught it off my shirt like it was kind of like a okay caught it off my shirt and then like got it in my pocket and then i felt around for it i was like oh i got it because i was also like it's a i was the youngest person in the crowd by 10 maybe 15 years years. So I was also kind of like, I don't know. I don't want a drunk 50 year old to like grab the pick out of my hand when he

sees it. So I kind of hit it. And then at the end of the show, I took it out and I realized one side of it is a banana that says crew. And the other side says daddy. And it was like, that's very Nikki six. I thought,

I'm just trying to think of you. One hand snagging that thing going in the air I wish I like Mr. Miyagi did out of there like that would have been awesome but I was kind of like a fumble and then I dropped it at one point and I I like put my foot over it and I felt it under my foot and I was like all right all right before we get out of, we do have a few news items to talk about that are pretty awesome, to be honest. The first of which is our very first look at Nebraska's favorite son, Superman. The James Gunn, Superman, David Cornswet in the suit for the first time. We knew it was kind of going to be the Kingdom Come style logo on the chest.

But that's pretty much as far as we knew about anything aesthetically in this movie put out a picture of him putting his boots on a lot of people were joking like i hope he's putting his boots on super speed because it looks like there's something going on behind him um but it's a very vibrant suit i said it kind of looks like a direct response to the man of steel suit in how bright the colors are bright red boots he's got the red undies back he's got the bullet belt which that was the most important thing for me i like the red undies on superman i'm like if i could suspend my disbelief enough to watch this man fly i could think he has a decent like decently

weird fashion sense from his planet and he's got a collar too which was very polarizing some people hate the collar i like the collar comes from like new age Superman comics. He has that in the new 52, which I liked. Um, the only criticism I have of the suit, it's a little bunchy at the, at the shoulders.

Like it's a little bunched up and wrinkly. Maybe he'll, he'll fill that out. Or maybe it's just a weird angle with the boots. But what did you think of your guy's suit? It's a good, I've seen this, the suit.

We all know the suit is one of the most important parts of the Superman. And Die Hard, Super Maniac will tell you that. As just someone that's excited for the movie, it's like it felt very James Gunn-y. So I'm like, that feels like James Gunn's Superman. And as long as James Gunn can make Superman in his own vision, he doesn't get any notes from a bunch of morons who don't know the first thing about moviemaking. Which I think probably fucked a fair amount of dc movies up over the years right like yeah sounds like they fucked up marvel too i'm still reading that marvel book from christmas i mean

i've been reading this book for months but last night i read this chapter about like they used to have a creative committee they had to run everything by that was stationed in new york while everyone else was in la and this guy ike perlmutter oh this motherfucker he tried to fire kevin feige behind his back and kevin feige had to like go to bob eiger and get him fired it was a crazy scandal uh that dude's interesting that's an interesting dude i know him from the uh whatever that that documentary was perlmutter yeah i actually watched the sopranos recently too and Favreau is like a little baby on there. I forgot.

I'm like, oh, now he's like Happy Hogan. It was just crazy to see. Even the like over his over Superman's shoulder in the window, the pink force that's coming into Earth.

It felt like something out of guardians like even the battery monster i felt like it could have been something they would do so i was just like man it feels good just to have uh like shit coming out james gunn's doing it the s always throws me off they can take liberties with the s seems like they change it up more than my figure here so it was definitely a little different than the classic Superman S. The question is do you think he has the little curl? Do you think he's going to always have the curl? Are they going to discuss the curl and how it's

kind of silly? Rocket Raccoon would talk shit about his curl. I got to be honest, I like the curl. I'm kind of an old school Superman guy when it comes to the Superman that I like. I think it's because I really like the original Christopher Reeve movie. I don't think the curl should be a 24 7 superman has it i think it should be one of those he's in the midst of a fight and his hair fucking flips down perfectly

and we get a frame where he's got a little curl you know like a little nod to it but maybe not always because cavill didn't always have it and cavill looked great in the suit like i never had an issue with i i didn't love his suit but henry cavill as superman never had an issue with that i thought he was like a perfect looking superman yeah i think they could get away with it for a little like maybe when he's fresh in the battle he could have the curl and then like after the first punch curl is gone it's kind of like i remember when hulk hogan come to the ring he'd have the bandana on he'd be fresh as shit and then you know obviously he has to hulk up so to get there he has to get beaten down and it's like you're just like this guy is a sloppy shit right now he came out looking so good when you know i am a real american so it's almost like i'm sure man is kind of the comic book

version of hulk hogan right but it's all said and done. Absolutely. I'm very excited about that. We also got a trailer for the boys season four, and this was really like slid under the rug, snuck under our radar. I think because it was released on May the 4th. And then we texted about this. I find it a little bit disrespectful to the other nerd franchise. Like May the 4th should be the day that Star Wars gets to themselves. After everything that George did with this franchise, everything, everyone associated

with this franchise, they've earned a retired day, you know, put their number in the rafters, like Jackie Robinson, no teams get to wear it. No teams get to wear 42. No teams get to celebrate Star Wars day unless they loop Star wars into their promotion so like if they put out a teaser trailer like garfield for example the new garfield movie they put out like a parody trailer where it was garfield sitting there as superman if you want to do something like that for star wars i think it's fair game on may the 4th that's almost like you're celebrating it but for the boys to put out their trailer on may the fourth and not even acknowledge that it was star wars day i was kind of like i love the boys but it kind of makes me want to boycott season four no i won't go that far i i hadn't i didn't even know when it had come out i didn't

know if it'd come out the third or the fifth like it completely was off my radar the day it actually came out fifth by the way off limits as well revenge of the fifth and also the sixth pretty much pretty much may pretty much may at this point is off they kept coming to star wars all right February too because it's the Jackie Robinson of depends on what the groundhog sees you know if he sees early spring star wars gets that as well oh um it was so funny too like when you texted me that I was like I think he's kidding. But I also also. It's a twofold thing.

One, if it's like an entertainment trailer in general, not great. But then, too, it's like it's not a space, you know, movie or show, but it's sci fi nerdy shit. So it's like you're definitely in the same aisle of the video store if there was a video when people talk about nerd franchises now maybe it's just us in our little bubble i feel like you say star wars marvel dc those are the three yeah that's because when people are like oh what's your you know pocket about nerdy stuff even though it's become like it just can't be nerdy stuff billion dollars every single time yeah movies it so uh good trailer though i will say that i liked the trailer it was nice seeing everyone and it's nice the like

getting gen v definitely adds to it it doesn't feel like it's been that long since we last got the boys to me at least no i'm with it but when i remember when season three was over it was like we had to wait for season four it felt like it was going to be forever. Gen V coming definitely broken up. It was the perfect little, it's a red little rest stop. We loaded up on snacks and now we're almost at the, the destination. It was a good rest stop.

There was like a Bucky's. We were like, Oh shit. Look at that. You know, I've never actually been, I've only heard legends. It's true.

All of it. It is Bob taken. I was taken ab legends. It's true. All of it. It is. Bob, I was taken aback. I could probably find one when we go on tour this summer because we're busting to some of the cities. Yeah, I mean, they're starting to move up north. They're growing. Bucky's a huge gas station.

It was, I think, three cents cheaper than the local Costco. When I visited my parents in Florida, I saw it. And like Costco's gas is always by far the cheapest, no matter where you are, because you're paying a membership. And then it's like basically the best, biggest convenience store you've ever been at in a gas station. Then make it twice the size. They have fresh barbecue, brisket, pulled pork, candy, toffee,ffee nuts all this kind of crazy shit sandwiches and then they have like an entire like gift store and then an entire bucky stuff and then just like

regular like gift store stuff so i'm sorry for but it's it's people love it people rave about i hear nothing and basically what you said like people are like oh i've heard so much about bucky had to stop by myself and then they leave so much about bucky's had to stop by myself and then they leave in like a bucky's fucking hat with a sweatshirt and they're like taking pictures with the mascot and they're like my life has changed the weirdest thing too i never like my kids i don't think i've ever heard of it they're like oh we got to go to bucky's and it's just something about the fucking i don't know just a logo you just it's a great logo yeah it just makes you feel good that's good and we had to buy it fucking we had like seven bucky's stuffed

animal bucky's refrigerator magnet bucky was in the store the mascot it just it was good vibes man it was good it's a good vibes place as well as you can just like completely just kill any diet the bucky's nuggets were the big things i know those are like the it's likeuggets were the big things I know. Those are like the – it's like a – how do I describe it? It's like a cheese doodle, but it's like a sweets version of cheese doodle. It's a corn nugget. It's a sweet and corn nugget. They are incredible. So load up on Bucky's.

Bring your wallet with you because you're going to spend about $100 worth of shit. How did we get into Bucky's for the boys here? I said Gen V was like the Bucky's of rest stops for the boys. Perfectly well said. Perfectly well said. Perfectly well said. I have to admit this. There's one thing about the boys that I did not love. And I don't know if it's going to go this way. It's going to suck enough all the election stuff in real life. I can't

have the election stuff. And I understand why because it's, you know, but it's like I'm sure they're going to do a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff about how broken the political system is in america or whatever but man it's just gonna not be fun i'm future yeah you're probably right you're probably right about that i feel like we mentioned it when they put out maybe the teaser trailer too is like we appreciate the boys commenting on real world stuff because that's like part of what makes the show as good as it is but it's gonna be real exhausting because that's like part of what makes the show as

good as it is but it's gonna be real exhausting if that's the whole season i hope it's not the whole season i'm hoping it's just zagging they're because they really are pushing it one way and when you look back you're just like man the boys went in a direction nobody saw coming so i think there is a very good chance uh that that it won't go that way also just like the casual like splats of blood and i'm like i don't know how ready i am for this show because it is violent with a capital v yeah it's gonna get real gory um let's keep the the good vibes rolling for you though we got a trailer that don't even know that we knew was coming i just got a tweet i think it's from nathan hirsch was the first time i saw it he was like oh my god darth jar jar is real and i quit i was like what is this hold on it was a picture of a lego jar jar that looked like it was from the lego animated star wars stuff they do

but he had fucking sith eyes and i was like oh my i said misa gonna hurt usa what so i found this trailer it was tweeted to me right away is the rebuild the galaxy trailer it basically seems like they're taking the lego star wars animated specials they already do which we've commented on here and there they're not bad they're like very kid oriented they're not as much made for adults but they have little nods and funny references here and there some prequel jokes and stuff this appears to be like what if for lego star wars it's a four-part event we see tie fighter x-wings we see a sith version of the millennium falcon it's all black and shit it looks kind of cool and we see at the end darth jar jar he comes out and he says nisa gonna hurt yusa and it's like oh my god uh i gotta admit

i can't wait for this we talked about the potential of a star wars what if not too long ago and we were all for it and we said if you do it you have to do darth jar jar right they they were like yeah right we we took your advice god damn it feels good to be right i knew it he's real he's always been real i know that it's essentially basically a what if and it would say he's actually not real and that's why they're doing it and just making it in this little fictional universe doesn't matter that fucking image it was it was might be it might be the greatest moment i've had in star wars it's it's that or baby yo and there's really nothing else that comes even closer i had

the darth vader uh rogue ones rogue one those are my big three right there i mean i'm just dumbfounded by it and the amount of people i was like so i was like when i saw the image first i'm like what the fuck is this thing so i put in darth jar jar and the just overwhelming amount of love that was online about darth and i was like i have to blog this and like i did the blog and the blog did these the numbers and i'm like darth jarred jr moves the fucking needle and in a crazy way that lunatic old man george lucas had the fucking had the ingredients and he had the recipe for a fucking a meal. And he fucking let it all go because a couple critics didn't like the appetizer for it all. God damn shame.

But I'm excited to see Darth Jar Jar in the flesh. And I said at the time, people were like, Clem, I can't believe it. Oh, my God. And I said, Robbie is going to have to have a fake fever for a month here to get over my victory laps. Plural laps that I'm going to be running around him. And then I was like, you know, a fake fever for a month here to get over my victory laps plural laps that i'm gonna be running around him and then i was like you know haha and then before we went live i was like oh yeah we got to do the boys trailer we got to do darth jarred oh i forgot about darth jarred well isn't that fucking convenient right i forgot yeah it was just i was like oh it wasn't

yeah we could mention him i guess yeah i just forgot yeah this poor guy folks listen to this guy first he has his beloved bruce wayne the man bat is about to get cucked by the real hero of dc and now i'm taking over the star although hey another thing i forgot they put out some images from bruce batman capeader, which is made by some of the team, including Paul Dini, that made Batman the animated series was originally supposed to get Kevin Conroy. I think he passed before they did this, so they're not going to have Kevin Conroy for it. But it is a Batman animated series that takes place in the 40s. Very interesting little period piece. They're going with like the original Clayface, who's not like a literal clay monster he's like an actor and shit it looks very intriguing so i am excited for that wasn't a week without any batman news i'm just saying superman everyone

lost their shit when they saw the suit darth jar Jar is real x-men is the hottest thing in the marvel franchise while captain america's being outed as a mutant hating human the nexer friggin killing it right now like then we're bonging yeah you're you're in a good place right now clem this is the year of clem the month of like it's all gonna come apart i know that it's fine you got the right yeah i shouldn't say that yeah everyone's before the next continue. Yeah. Yeah. Nonetheless,

it just feels good to be right. Or not even to be for people to acknowledge that I'm right. I knew I was right the whole time. I got my Darth Charger here. Collector's items. So I'll be excited for this. I wanted to know, do you know about this Jedi?

Bob is the guy who was like shown in it. Is that anything mean anything to you so he was in a lot of the earliest start not maybe not a lot of them but he was in some of the earliest star wars lego sets and it was just like jedi bob and it was just like a fun like little you know random thing so that that is kind of a nice knot i definitely had a jedi bob minifigure at some point in my life okay and then the dark millennium falcon is that anything to you or is that just no i think that's brand new for the show but i thought it looked sick to be honest like you sleep that thing out in shiny black and

kind of looked first order-esque to me looked more first order than empire i don't know if there's even a timeline for this but i thought it looked sweet i loved it sig greebling do we know who that is off the top of my head no okay okay so that was the could be from the lego i know they have their own little continuity in the lego star wars stuff if you're interested in any of the lego star wars specials like i said very kid oriented so if you have kids throw them on for them the best one for adults i think is the halloween one because it focused on like these people going to like a sith castle and finding holocrons and they kind of went all over the timeline so you get little cameos you get little jokes um i think this will be intriguing though i think this will be good four-part series makes

it a little different and i hope we get a lot of darth jar jar hope it's not like a bait and switch where you give it to us for a second i hope he's just the main villain of it i hope that like he comes in like a little george lucas figure is like i should have oh speaking of george dante the don was in the office this week and he's like oh yeah my buddy see george lucas all the time and i was like what now he's like yeah george lives in chicago and he just goes out all the time like by himself he'll be grocery shopping he'll be going out to dinner going out to a bookstore or with his wife his wife i think is from chicago maybe yeah i think i heard that yeah um but yeah he's like yeah he's always hanging around i forgot the area he said but i was like i said look turn to devlin i was like, yeah, he's always hanging around. I forgot the area he said, but I was like, I said, look, turn to Devlin. I was like, maybe we should just book flights to Chicago and hang around until we see George.

And Robbie just moved to Chicago from Chicago HQ. He seemed pretty happy here. His family here. And I just never spotted a Chicago HQ. Always out looking for George Lucas. Searching for like an 80 year old man. It looks like an evil. I absolutely love it.

But the thing with someone like George Lucas is like, you almost don't even want to go up to him because it's like he's heard 10 000 times and what would i want to say to him i would want to say thank you for star wars he's heard that 10 000 times in his life that's nothing to him goes in one ear at the other so you almost if you see him you almost want to leave him alone but have him know that you know who he was but you left him alone to be cool yeah exactly you were the cool you gotta figure out a mind trick like that jedi mind tricking the the head of the jedi himself and uh the best way to compare the lego star wars is it's basically the family guy star wars but for kids it's like yeah a little more nods and not as many like hardcore jokes at all.

All right. Do we have a hashtag for this week? I do. I do. So in the ilk of my X-Men, we think that's a little absurd. And in honor of this Sunday, shout out to all the moms out there, the mothers listening, or the mothers of the people listening. I see where this is going. Hashtag our mom's basement. I like that. Shout out like that i love it shout out mama fox um i won't say
