Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. We are rolling on The Mandalorian. Happy Thanksgiving week to everybody out there. Hopefully you have got a short week at work. We did this for chapters 1 and 2 last week. People loved it, so we had to do the same for chapter 3. Go back and check those out if you haven't already. But before we get into The Mandalorian, I want to spend a little bit of time just talking about Disney+, because it's been out for a week or two now. We've had the time to pretty much sit with it, see what it's like, see what's on the channel, see what we want on the channel. And we've got a question where we'll answer some questions throughout the show. Thick Moranis wrote in and said, what is the thing you've seen on Disney+, so far, that's given you the most nostalgia? And I felt like that was a fun starting point for the podcast. So Clem, I don't know if you have an answer. I do have an answer. So I could start off
Starting point is 00:00:52 while you think. It was Monsters Incorporated for me. Me and Trent have been watching a ton of animated movies recently. Monsters, Inc. was one of them. And it was one of those movies that I loved as a kid, hadn't seen in maybe like 10 years, probably more than 10 years. And I just said, man, this would be fun to put on. I remember really loving this. Once I did, all the memories flooded back. It was definitely Monsters, Inc. for me. Do you have something that has given you like a ton of nostalgia on Disney Plus?
Starting point is 00:01:20 God damn it, Robbie. You know how old I feel right now? Like Monsters, Inc. Monsters, Inc. is an early Pixar movie, but that's like a late in life. Like Monsters, Inc. feels like it was like, you know, like one of the newer movies in my life. And the fact you're like, man, I remember, you know, like I was drinking my bottle. Literally. No, literally. Yes. God damn it. To be fair, I don't really have a lot of moments where you make me feel old. Partially it's because you're like so goddamn – you're basically older than me immaturity-wise. But that one hurt. My answer is pretty easy.
Starting point is 00:01:54 It's the goddamn X-Men animated series. In particular, the X-Men animated song, which is one of my favorite things on the planet. I saw the other day you had a poll. What do I watch first, Spider-Manman or x-men the animated series and i had like seven different drafts of the tweet that i was going to send to you and basically it was all just saying how great the song is let alone the show which is i'll tell you robbie that show was my favorite show of all time at a part of my life for like three years and then it was when i was young and then i just like it just stopped airing and i didn't understand at that point that like shows got canceled or – and it just disappeared.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I was like, what happened to the X-Men show? Like Saturday mornings just were not the same anymore. So just seeing that on the list, just – oh, I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it right now. Yeah, when I tweeted out that poll you're talking about, like it was overwhelmingly X-Men. Everyone was saying X-Men,-men x-men and i figured that would probably be the case because you hear about the x-men cartoon and people nostalgically talking about it more than you do the spider-man cartoon but i started it i watched a few episodes and it's my nephew's like favorite cartoon he loves the x-men specifically the cartoon because he's only
Starting point is 00:02:59 five the the movies are a little bit graphic form and whatnot i watched that and i was like okay i could tell why luke likes this so much I could tell why Luke likes this so much. I could tell why everybody likes this so much. I watched, I want to say the first four, five, six episodes. It's become like if I'm throwing something on right before bed, it's perfect viewing for that because it'll hit little notes here and there where I'm like, oh shit, that's like a poll from the comics. They're like doing a legit comic book storyline here. And everyone says that they did the Dark Phoenix storyline the best out of everyone. So I'm excited to get to that point in the cartoon. The Monsters, Inc. thing, I will say, everybody knows that this is a very green
Starting point is 00:03:33 friendly podcast. I've been eating edibles recently, as opposed to smoking because it's gotten cold. I've got the bad circulation. It's just an easier process. Clem, when you eat edibles and you watch Disney Pixar movies, it's like the galaxy brain viewing version of these movies. I'm telling you, when Randall is looking for boo and the water noose is looking for boo, and there will be those moments where somebody drops something and it makes a noise and everyone looks over, I was holding my breath during those moments. I was like, oh, they're going to find her. They're going to find her. I had beads of sweat dripping from my face.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I was like that Jordan Peele gif of just like constant sweat. It was one of the most intense movie watching experiences of my entire life. And that just carried on over to like we watched Monsters University the next day, which we had never seen before. Great prequel. Really fun. We watched like The Lion King. I was singing along to the songs.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Disney+, so far, I think a rousing success. The only two things, I've got two complaints about it. They don't have a start from beginning button, which is horrible. Every time, because I've watched The Mandalorian, obviously, all these episodes a bunch of times, and I watched them with Trent, and every time I go to start one with him, I've got play tell him to look away from the screen scroll back to the beginning and then they need a start from beginning and they need a continue watching tab because both for the x-men and for the simpsons which i've started from the beginning for the first time and i've seen
Starting point is 00:04:58 simpsons seasons like 4 through 11 i've just never seen the early ones so going back to those they don't have a button where i could just press like oh yeah i'm on episode four or whatever and press play if they add those two i mean there's pretty much nothing stopping it first of all i just want to say i can like this isn't even how probably i cannot tell you how much i love hearing like when you say we and it's just you and trent who are two of my favorite people it's so goddamn cute yeah that that is what this apartment does we just we just put on animated movies we have fun that's my kind of house and speaking of cute i have to say we had
Starting point is 00:05:31 this conversation last week baby yoda groot i think boo is in the running for cutest character oh my god you're right my heart just melts when i think of her she might be cuter than baby yoda she really is and my sisters have it a baby, and I texted her right away, and I was like, man, this would be an awesome Halloween costume if you put your baby in the Baby Boo disguise, the monster disguise. I mean, that would be adorable. I was thinking, though,
Starting point is 00:05:55 I don't think they would be able to make Monsters, Inc. today. Is it problematic? No, I just think at this point, too many homes have home security. They have simply safe already for these monsters to be breaking in. I know they've got the door system. It's a bit of a portal.
Starting point is 00:06:13 But I mean, it's just I don't think it would work today. And speaking of home security, speaking of the holidays, in some states, the week after Christmas brings the heaviest caseload for the police breakins spike every single year during the holidays because families are traveling and burglars know that people have expensive gifts lying around. Obviously, I'll probably have some expensive Rise of Skywalker gifts lying around as well, I hope, if I'm good, if Santa's good to me this year. What's crazy is that only one in five homes have home security, so maybe that is a good sign for Monsters, Inc. If only one in five homes, maybe you could reboot this thing. Probably because most companies don't really make it easy. Other systems can be difficult to use. They've got the long-term
Starting point is 00:06:50 contracts. They're full of hidden fees, the astronomical monthly fees. That's the worst. SimpliSafe is my choice for home security, though. It's comprehensive, personal home security at a fair price. And right now is the best time of the year to get a SimpliSafe security system. For the holidays, you can get a huge discount on your security system and add a free security camera that's my favorite thing about this clem whether with the cameras i always think back to that scene in the equalizer where robert mccall like rigs his entire apartment full of those night vision cameras and waits for the people to break in so he could watch him that's what i want to do with this but i don't really want to be involved in that whole equalizer business. The SimpliSafe
Starting point is 00:07:26 protects every room, door, and window with 24-7 personal monitoring, and if there is a break-in, SimpliSafe can give real-time video confirmation so the police respond up to 3.5 times faster. With SimpliSafe, there's no contract, hidden fees, or fine print, and the prices are always fair and honest,
Starting point is 00:07:41 starting at just $15 a month. Go to simplisafe.com slash mom now to take advantage of SimpliSafe's amazing holiday savings and get a free HD security camera. This offer is for a limited time only, and it's ending soon, so hurry. That's simplisafe.com slash mom to save big and get a free security camera. SimpliSafe.com slash mom. So we've said that I think SimpliSafe is Mandalorian-proof and now monster-proof. So they're doing pretty good.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Those are big shoes to fill, very big shoes. Speaking of which, I actually threw the idea around that Sienna was going to be Boo for Halloween one year and I would be Sully. Because, again, you're a big guy. Oh, wow. That would be perfect. You have to be a big guy costume. Yes. That nails.
Starting point is 00:08:22 But then the wife didn't want to be like the snake hair girl or be Mike. AJ would be the perfect Mike Wazowski. So we're going to circle back to this maybe next or another thing. All right. My thing for Disney Plus. Love it. The Simpsons, if you're listening to this podcast and you haven't watched, you know, seasons one and two are a little rough around the edges, but they're still hilarious.
Starting point is 00:08:41 But you definitely can tell where they jump off. I think season three is where it really starts taking off that just like having that in an app that i actually use and having every episode ever not just like random seasons like you'll get enough x and then it's anything after like season 12 which i think is trash which is just so sad it's say the phrase for me if you live long either you die we become the hero you either you either die hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Yes, that is what The Simpsons are in real life because they stayed around so long. All the shows that we loved that got canceled too early, probably like The X-Men, which was like the greatest cartoon ever in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:09:15 It like – if it stayed around as long as The Simpsons did, it would inevitably suck. This is my one thing on Disney Plus I want. It's a very weird feature, but I think it would be hilarious because there's so much shit. A random button, and you get a random anything. Oh, wow. I've wanted that on Netflix for shows like The Office or Friends or the shows that you would catch on TV on a random Sunday night, say at 11 p.m. I would love to hit a random button, especially even if you could, yes, for anything like you're saying, but if you could just make it X-Men random, that would be awesome. I'm down for that 100%.
Starting point is 00:09:50 So either it could be like any movie or episode of TV in the world or you go into that TV show and go, all right, random X-Men. Totally. Just make it one of the buttons on the controller like it is for Madden when you're like selecting random teams in the beginning. It's like press X for random. Make it that on Disney Plus. So let's get into The Mandalorian Chapter 3. I think this show just keeps fucking getting better and better and better. It's really crazy. If you're interested in like day of 30 minute video reviews, I've been doing these with the Lights Camera Barstool Boys, Ken Jack and Jeff Lowe. We've been doing them for The Mandalorian and for Watchmen if you're watching that as well.
Starting point is 00:10:26 So check those out on their YouTube slash BarstoolSports.com itself. Clem, what did you think of Chapter 3 of The Mandalorian? We'll do the same thing we did last week without spoilers for the first. I think it was legit. I think it was good. At this point, it's like a sports – I always do my sports analogy. No, the people love them. Yeah. I just want to see growth. Every week, it's like my boy Daniel Jones. do my sports analogy, but it's like – No, people love him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I just want to see growth. Every week, it's like my boy Daniel Jones. I just want to see growth every week. I'm not looking for every episode to be a 10 out of 10. I just want to see it. We're not going in directions. And without any spoilers, very happy. Thumbs up all around.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I think a big thing for this episode that is giving a lot of nerds reassurance is that it was directed by deborah chow who is also directing the entire obi-wan series when we're eventually going to get that so i think this gave us our first sign and she was shout out the first uh ever female director of a star wars show which is pretty awesome pretty big for the franchise um bryce dallas howard also has some stuff on this season as well so there will be two by the end of the season. But seeing the way she handled this, seeing the way she handled the gritty tone, the western tone of The Mandalorian, and she gave us some of the coolest Star Wars moments we've seen in a long time. I mean, there's not much we could say without getting into spoilers, so we're just going to get into it. Once again, if you don't want anything spoiled, you can go down to the time in the in the description we've got a time stamp in the description wherever you're listening to this
Starting point is 00:11:48 and skip forward to that so getting right into it we open on baby yo playing with this little little knob on the throttle of the razor crest and it's it's cute you could tell the mandalorian still has a bit of a cold shoulder towards him because he's like it's not a toy put it down he like grabs him by the shirt puts him back in the carriage, and he fucking went and turned him in. He collected the bounty. He got it out of that Will Rowhood ice cream maker. The weird...
Starting point is 00:12:13 That thing is the most... It would just never work. It's preposterous. It's a weird bucket that twists. What's the word I'm looking for? It's the most not problematic, but just you can never use it. But that's like Star Wars. Impractical.
Starting point is 00:12:28 It's impractical. That's the word I'm looking for. Yes. The Star Wars universe is so weird where it's gritty, but it's also futuristic. And that fucking device. It's not even a device. A contraption. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yeah, it looks like a puzzle box. If Werner Herzog brought it out and he was just like, really? Couldn't think of a briefcase? Like you thought of cloning, you thought of getting the smelted best car, but you couldn't think of just a briefcase? I don't know, it was weird. That moment, where he collects the Willow Hood ice cream
Starting point is 00:12:56 maker and he gives them the baby, Baby-O, and they bring him into that separate room and Baby-O just like looks over the carriage because he's scared. That was one of the more heartbreaking moments. I i guess that's what warner herzog was talking about last week when he was like it was heartbreakingly beautiful like that was why it was heartbreakingly beautiful i think so he collected the bounty that sucked i was pissed at him i don't think it sucked i actually liked that he actually went through it like the the
Starting point is 00:13:21 show if it's just him he grows a conscience conscience instantly. I want this like a Mandalorian's are badass dudes. They've been bounty hunting for years. Obviously, this guy is like a bunch of frozen as people, a bunch of carbonite motherfuckers in his ship. Like he's been through the ringer. I like that he at least traded the baby in and before the inevitable like, you know, conscience eating at him going back at it. I just hate it because, I mean, I'm a hashtag protect baby yo guy. Protect baby yo at all costs you put baby yo in the hands of the empire you don't know what's going to happen to him
Starting point is 00:13:49 and that was the thing they noted like he says to Werner Herzog he's like what are you doing with the baby and he's like nope no questions asked I guess once you collect your bounty once you collect your commission that was the first indication that he was very like he was kind of skeptical about giving this baby up
Starting point is 00:14:04 especially it is the thing where yeah he's 50 but he's a, like, he was kind of skeptical about giving this baby up. Especially it is the thing where, yeah, he's 50, but he's a fucking baby. So he gets some new armor. I thought this was really cool the way they did it. Like, the way that he's almost upgrading, like, it's a video game, his armor. We started, it was gritty, it was brown, it was tan, it had dents in it. Now it's shiny. It reminded me of, like, speaking of like speaking of favreau iron man where i was like oh shit he's upgrading his armor and they're gonna sell a thousand action figures of chapters one and
Starting point is 00:14:30 two mando and then chapter three mando and then when he eventually gets this fucking jetpack there's gonna be jetpack mando and they're gonna keep going with that but i thought it was cool he gets the full silver set the best gar armor another thing they might have done that so when they debut the mandalorian people aren't like oh what he's like a captain phasma boba fett you know what i mean like yeah they were when i re-watched it i was like oh he kind of has like a phasma vibe about him now i was like i wonder if that's why they didn't start off with him chrome phasma i'm oh boy i almost i am i'm i listen i know you're triggered at the Phasma reference, but me and Jeff D'Lo were talking about Boba Fett the other day.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And it is crazy to me that Boba Fett has like drastically, drastically less screen time, drastically less dialogue, drastically less everything than Phasma. And people still hate Phasma and they love Boba. It's an interesting like back and forth. No, no no no but the thing is that i'm 100 i i've heard you guys say and i heard jeff's take on about how boba fett is basically like a cool toy he had a cool name and he's like basically a putz that like dies because you know which is it's what phasma is phasma is the the you know sequel trilogy boba
Starting point is 00:15:40 fett if you will but however boba fett went and tracked down the millennium he outwitted han solo like boba empire boba fett is legit it's return of the jedi boba fett that like really just shits all over his name but empire boba fett is the real deal he's the first dude with fat uh carbonite he has the sweet ship however return of the jedi boba fett and again the coolest name i just love saying boba fett so much i know i don't understand what However, Return of the Jedi Boba Fett. And again, the cool-ass name. I just love saying Boba Fett so much. I know. I don't understand what Phasma does in that movie.
Starting point is 00:16:10 She just completely bubble fucks herself nonstop. Anyway, I'm sorry. No, no, no. No, no. We're getting all sides here. We're getting all sides. It can't just be a blind loving of all the last Jedi on this podcast. We got to have both sides. We see another flashback as his new armor is being created of the Purge of Mandalore,
Starting point is 00:16:30 which we've heard a lot about in Star Wars canon and whatnot. We haven't seen a lot of. And we see, like, B-2 battle droids fucking shit up. And someone commented this in the Star Wars subreddit. 2019 CGI has made those motherfuckers look menacing. Like, they look way scarier than they ever did in the prequels in this. They had, like, you know, it was a smoky environment,
Starting point is 00:16:52 it was the gritty sequel trilogy, or original trilogy environment, and it also gives us the character backstory of why he doesn't like droids. Why in the first episode he's like, no droids, I want a human pilot and all that. Why in A New Hope there's a prejudice against droids, and they don't he's like no droids i want a human pilot and all that why in a new hope there's a prejudice against droids and they don't want to serve them at the bar because
Starting point is 00:17:09 they just carried out a fucking genocide so i thought this was one of the cooler character building moments of the show so far and it also provided us with a tease of something to come because i don't know if you caught the same thing i did when he, when the battle droid starts to like really fire up to shoot what looks like the Mandalorian, they cut away. And it looks like there's no way the, the kid Mandalorian could have got out of that situation unless someone saved him. So I'm interested to see if we learn more about that. Is it his clan of Mandalorians? Did they save him? Is he a foundling like Yoda is? I think he might be. Ooh, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah, I wonder, and then I wonder how if whoever saved him, if that kind of weighs on his head with Baby-O. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, I feel like, let's be honest, Mandalorians have probably been turning over kids to get bounties for a very long time. You know what I mean? Even one's just as cute as Baby-O, as hard as it is to imagine. So maybe that is the reason that he like kept asking what are you going to do with him and and he was really looking out for him i also love
Starting point is 00:18:08 just how like they're referencing the empire and how the mandalorians hate the empire because it's like yes you know there's there's there's obviously mandalorians aren't the good guys in in in a lot of people's views but fucking the empire is the worst of the worst and just seeing the different shades of darkness of gray and whatever you want to call it, I kind of dug that. I dug that too and the way they got it, he got into the fight with that heavy infantry Mandalorian who was voiced by Jon Favreau actually. The way that that guy was like, bro, you just, you're sitting at tables with the Empire. They stole this Beskar from us and now you're working for them to get it back like it betrays
Starting point is 00:18:43 everything we stand for. I really thought that was like a cool, that adds layers onto the show, where instantly that one comment is now, like, okay, we understand there's a long-standing history between the Empire and Mandalore. I don't know if you caught this as well. Jeff D. Lowe was talking to me about it, and the more he talked about it, the more I was like, holy shit, you might be onto something. Everybody on Mandalore looked like they were wearing these red robes in that purge of Mandalore, even the kid and all that. There was a reference to Life Day in Chapter 1 of The Mandalorian. Now, on Life Day, everybody wears these red robes. Jeff D'Lo was like, is there any chance that because the last episode of The Mandalorian debuts on Disney+, like two or three days after Christmas, and Jon Favreau has been saying that
Starting point is 00:19:30 he wants to make a Star Wars holiday special follow-up forever, that the finale is somehow going to tie into Life Day, and we're going to learn that the purge happened on Life Day, or something like this, something like that. I don't know. I think it's a hysterical thought, and when he initially brought it up, I was like i promise you it wasn't fucking life day robes you silly motherfucker the more he says it the more i'm like that might happen and i'll tell you what if i am getting myself a life day robe i want it from tommy john the revolutionary underwear loungewear and clothing brand that guarantees a perfect fit.

Starting point is 00:21:46 That one's on the house. Oh, totally. That's on the house. You could have that. That's for you. So the Mandalorian gets back on a ship, the Razorcrest. He looks at that throttle without the little ball that Baby Yo was playing with. And he has a moment where he's like, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I'm going back. And he starts shutting everything down. I watch it with the closed captionings on every week it just helps me you know remember remember character names alien names stuff like that we don't close caption shame on this all right i'm good i am i'm also old that's why i need to do it but you're young and you do it as well it adds a lot to it it really does it totally does it helps yes so So it actually said like Mandalorian powers down his ship and I was so fired up. I'm like, go back. Protect baby.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yo, get that baby. Our sweet boy. So he goes back to that like compound that the Empire was operating out of. He sees the carriage in the dumpster, which is like, oh my god. What are they doing with our boy? He does the thing that I talked about in chapter one where the little java i droid i was like if that were real life drunk people would definitely just destroy that thing at all times he destroyed it and i was waiting for the stormtroopers to come out and be like
Starting point is 00:22:54 i was probably just a drunk buffoon but they did i love that thing and this this episode kind of like flips on its head and we get like a fucking basically like John Wick-esque episode for the rest of the Mandalorian. So that was in my notes right here. I say when everyone gets like the text message and all the shit lights up red, it's like the John Wick 2 when everyone has the thing, the bounty's on them, and they're all going after them. I'm like, oh shit, Mando. It's John Mando. Even the way they were shooting it where he was kind of like walking down that alleyway and they were showing like more and more bounty hunters coming out of the shadows, putting
Starting point is 00:23:28 their guns up. And he had that meeting. I should mention he had a meeting with Greef Karga, who is Carl Weathers' character before this, where he shows off the new armor and all that. Carl Weathers is also like, man, you've been stressed for a while. I should take you to some Twi'lek healing baths, which I think is probably a Star Wars strip club. Is that what he's talking about? I think we're talking rubbing tugs, some guru massages if you've ever gone down that road of pouring up before.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Like it is – it's some sex. It's Carl Weathers we're talking about here, Robert. It's sex. He says that and then he also says like when Mandalorian is like, no, just give me whatever the newest bounty is. He gives him the bounty pucks and he says, at least get some spices for the way back. And at that point, I'm like, all right, now he's talking Star Wars drugs. We're talking, he's like, why don't you go to a strip club and get yourself some pot because you seem a little antsy recently. Anyway, he goes to this compound.
Starting point is 00:24:20 We see, for the first time ever, stormtroopers with flashlights on their guns, which looked awesome in the dark. It looked, I don't know, I guess more John Wick-y like we were talking about. And he has these— Baba Yaga! Imagine if they just started yelling Baba Yaga. Mando. And they had like a cool shootout sequence. He goes, he gets Baby Yo.
Starting point is 00:24:39 The doctor with the sunglasses was in the room operating on him, and they had that big ball droid that was about to inject baby yo with something or at least pull something i think i think they were talking about you have to get it all out of him they were saying get it all out of him and then kill him which geez talk about ptsd that has to mean metachlorians right they're trying to get metachlorians out of baby yo because he's force sensitive. I don't really know. He uses what was called the Whistling Birds. He got Whistling Birds put into his armor. And it was a callback to episode one, I think, where the stormtroopers all point his guns at him in that room. And he says, four on one, I like those odds.
Starting point is 00:25:18 So he's there with four stormtroopers and he gets to kill all of them. Then, like you said, the John Wick moment happens. Everyone at this bounty hunter bar gets a pager that hey the bounty's now out on the mandalorian and then we get clem one of my favorite star wars moments maybe ever it was one it was a moment that i've wanted to see since i was a little kid playing with my action figures boba fett's in a shootout oh look at this he's being overwhelmed who could save him a hundred boba fett's all on their jetpacks this was amazing and they and they the way they built up to it making you think that we were about to see baby yo use the force again maybe where the mandalorians like kind of make an eye contact with them baby
Starting point is 00:26:01 opens his eyes they have that moment and then we just get everyone from what did they call it the cavalry or the cavalry yeah with a k i think yes or no we are we definitely they don't call it the cavalry with a k that is watchmen as a reference to the kkk i don't't think the Mandalorians are white supremacists. I hope not, because this is going to be really awkward if we find out. But they come in, they save him, they throw him a this is the way, which is their equivalent of may the force be with you. And now it's like the new I have spoken. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:37 We have two great taglines so far, three episodes in. Yes. And it was just so cool to see this. Like, what was your instant reaction when you realize what's happening did you think we were getting baby yo using the force again i know i i honestly like i was like i was like how's mando getting out of this one it's still like the three episodes and i'm like i don't know how he's like we we've already dialed it up to like dire straits this many times and we i was like the battle droid ain't coming back he's cooked
Starting point is 00:27:01 and i had i had no idea we were going i was. I was really hoping we weren't going to have Baby Yo because I kind of like not having him around this episode. Like we were so in love with him. He's been the biggest thing on the internet. I kind of wanted to see them go and do their own thing. And it was just awesome just seeing these fucking, like you said, 100 bubble fights just coming out of nowhere and light motherfuckers up carl weathers his like grief karga's motivation for kind of turning on the mandalorian is understood if that's his job where he gives out bounties and he collects bounties and stuff like this but it did seem like there was a bit of a prior relationship there where we still felt like it was a classic star wars betrayal a classic dj
Starting point is 00:27:40 orlando them turning on a dime and being like oh shit now you're cornering me and at the end he gets to shoot him I I think he knew where he was shooting because he shot him right in the best car Doc Brown style where you think he's dead and all of a sudden he's not see that back to the future reference by the way you can use that um and he gets to escape he escapes with baby yo he gives him the the throttle knob at the end and it's a cute moment once again a self contained story that builds up to something
Starting point is 00:28:10 we're building still there's obviously a client we don't know what he wants with Baby Yo I think it's probably going to be Gustavo Fring because we haven't seen him yet but he's in all the trailers as someone from the Empire I like that we're still building I like that every episode is it's own story I like that they're 30 minutes. I know I said last week I wish they were
Starting point is 00:28:28 longer. This week made me think, you know what, if it's 30 minutes of A story instead of 30 minutes of A story, 15 minutes of B story, I'm cool with that. Yeah, I'm with you 100%. As someone who, like, just putting down my phone, like, I realize I do keep my phone down for almost the entire episode, which is a big thing for me. you get into that 45 50 minute range that's when sooner or later the addiction starts coming back in and i'm losing you're losing me but if i see that that that like the timeline at like 32 37 i'm pretty much good and i'm with you let's just call him carl weathers for now on just spring like we'll just use all their real names be so hard to like learn all these other names star wars names are so fucking like weird to be they really are it it did feel like
Starting point is 00:29:11 a betrayal but at the same point like he had to do what he had like it's it's like um in john wick when john wick you know basically betrays the hotel and he's like dude i gotta do what i gotta do i have a business to run here so this is just just the John Wick story. They just remade John Wick in Star Wars, which I'm more than fine with. Honestly, it is. And I tweeted before Chapter 3. I said, John Wick 4, but instead of a dog, this time he has Baby Yo. And I was like, that tweet is going to do numbers. That's going to pop off.
Starting point is 00:29:38 What's more universally loved on Twitter than Keanu Reeves and Baby Yo? It didn't pop off. And then this episode happened. Everyone said he was like John Wick. I was like, motherfucker. I was ahead of the curve on this one. How amazing would it have been if Mando, after he's like, like you said, before he powers down his ship, he like flips on his iPhone and he sees the hashtag Baby Yo.
Starting point is 00:30:01 It's like, shit, man. Robbie got me on this one. I got to go protect Baby Yo. Yeah. Oh, that would be a great edit for some man. I'm me on this one. I got to go protect Davey. Yeah. Oh, that would be a great edit for some man. I'm going to get Nick Hamilton on that right away. He's going to hate me. That would be hysterical.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I thought you were going to say how great would it be if like episode 10 were finally at the end of the season. I don't know how many episodes. The season finale at least. We're on it. And the Mandalorian gears up to take his helmet off for the first time and he's fucking John Wick after all I know what you're talking about wait was Keanu no Marvel was going after Keanu right?
Starting point is 00:30:31 yeah they were going after him for the Eternals I would imagine yeah everyone's probably going after him I mean we're welcome to Keanu in Star Wars Keanu is Darth Raven from Knights of the Old Republic that would be pretty incredible predictions or hopes for future episodes? You're not going to like this, Bob, but I – OK.
Starting point is 00:30:50 So I don't want Baby-O to turn bad. Are you going to fucking say less Baby-O? No, no, no. More Baby-O. OK, OK. That was hilarious how you corrected me. No, no, no. More Baby-O.
Starting point is 00:31:01 So the midichlorians, that is like – that's like basically a curse word. That's like a C word basically a curse word that's like a c word basically for star wars fans how about we clone baby yo and there's a bad baby yo versus a good baby yo coming down the road potentially then tying into the rise of skywalker down the road and all this coming again that's what i want to see that's what i'm hoping for i'm probably dead ass wrong but that's what i'd like to see. I'm hoping, one, the tease of the jetpack we got at the end of the episode I loved. And I'm like, yes, I want this motherfucker to have a jetpack. It would just be cool to watch him jetpacking around and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Two, I want him to start, you know, they teased a little strength in numbers thing in this episode. We know that his clan of Mandalorians is going to have to relocate. I don't think we're going to see them for a while. I would like to see, starting in Chapter 4, him start building his own crew. Crews are a huge thing in Star Wars. Han Solo's crew is a big thing. He already offered a job to Nick Nolte's character, the I Have Spoken guy. He's like, I could use a guy like you on my crew.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I want Nick Nolte's character, Gina Carano, who we haven't even seen yet, Cara Dune, and IG-11 or another droid like him all together in the next episode. I think it would be cool to see him like really talking to a bunch of people. We haven't seen that a lot in the series so far. It's been mostly solitary, just the Mandalorian, just Baby-O. I want to see more and more of that. I mean I didn't even think about like his own crew, but he's definitely going to have his own crew. He's like, yo, dude, I got this cute ass.
Starting point is 00:32:26 He's like, yo, you guys see this fucking baby? Yo, he's everywhere right now. He's going to sell so much shit. He's like, he's part of my crew. He's cute as shit. You can just hang out with him and he can save your life. You're going to get anyone you want in the crew at that point. Everyone's after him, so he needs some help.
Starting point is 00:32:41 He needs all the help he could get, I would imagine. Can I just say something too? We had Chekhov's Whistling Birds, as I like to call it, because they mentioned the Whistling Birds. We get to Whistling Birds. They kind of sucked. What? They killed four Stormtroopers. Yeah, I could kill four Stormtroopers.
Starting point is 00:32:58 What makes them so special? Kenjack actually said this, but I thought the same thing. I thought they were like mini Yondu arrows. They're like little mini whistling arrows. You know what I mean? They kind of are based on the way they operated and moved and all that. We have some questions mostly about the Mandalorian, nerdy stuff, so we can get right into them. CP3LO said, what was the doctor trying to get out of Baby-O?
Starting point is 00:33:22 Do you think it was metachlorians? So I did say in this episode we both said we think it could be Metachlorians. It is the thing that makes the most sense. But in episode eight, they kind of go back on the idea of Metachlorians. And we know that that is one of the more fresh things in canon. So you would imagine they want to continue to push narratives that they were pushing there. And Metachlorians is also, like you said, a curse word. So why would they have to bring that up or why would they use it maybe they're trying to go back on it maybe they're trying to change the narrative on metachlorians and be like no they ain't so bad baby yo's got them i don't know what do you think do not like on your first we said how important this series was to get star wars back on
Starting point is 00:34:00 track for everyone digging up the metachlorians it's like it's like bringing up like the worst fight you've ever had with your wife and just digging like going into that or something that's like do not touch metachlorians they're out there we we don't even want to acknowledge them but listen listen i have a thought to your point right there john feidelberg has said before that a good first date move before you bring a girl out you say what do you hate doing let's do that because if i could make that enjoyable, we're going to work out. Maybe Jon Favreau is doing that with Star Wars fans right now. You know what? Feidelberg is a very wise man.
Starting point is 00:34:34 He's had some very great sage-like advice, quotes, whatever you want to call it. And I will admit this much. Jon Favreau turned clunky-ass, boring Iron Man into the coolest fucking superhero on the planet. So, yeah, I can get down with that. I can get down with that. And the rumors going forward are that Jon Favreau is going to be heavily, heavily involved in the franchise going forward. It looks like the positive feedback to the Mandalorian was enough for them to go, oh yeah, this guy knows what he's talking about. Him, Dave Filoni, and I believe someone else that runs lucasfilm's head of
Starting point is 00:35:05 live action will be stepping up in the future really good sign for the future of star wars so hell yeah ryan dietrich said is there anything you would change about the mandalorian last week i would have said longer episodes this week i'm kind of like i said earlier sticking with 30 minutes sticking with what they're doing now. Here's one thing I will say. We saw his most recent bounty. He got the bounty puck for Amon Calamari that he said he was the son of a nobleman and he ran off. And my mind went right away to, oh, maybe Ackbar's son?
Starting point is 00:35:40 I want less of that. I don't want it to be Ackbar's son. I want them to continue making the universe feel as big as they could possibly make it feel. Enough of this lineage, enough of this, oh, he must be so-and-so's son, he must be so-and-so's daughter. Save that for the Skywalker saga. I think it works better, actually, in the Skywalker saga because that is a more contained story. We're more inclined to believe the Force is bringing all these people together. With a story like this, a bounty hunter story, just keep expanding. Keep doing stuff, stuff that I would see in the Clone Wars, like all the Mandalorians saving him. That's something I feel like I would see in only a cartoon.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Stuff that I could only imagine seeing in a cartoon. Keep bringing that stuff to live action. That's what I would say. No, I mean, I hate to like piggyback on it, but that's exactly my thought.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I mean, I said it last episode. We found out it's not Tatooine. We got a... Oh yeah, it's not Tatooine. That's a big update to make yes a bunch of people tweeted us i forgot what the actual planet's name is it doesn't really matter it fucking looks like tattooing but it's not tattooing yeah let's let's just stay away from tattooing like planets are now on as well but like even the um it was like so it was i thought it was cool seeing like the other people
Starting point is 00:36:40 that uh mando had locked up in carbonite but But then I was also like – like Carbonite wasn't really a – I'm sure after Boba locked up Han Solo in Carbonite, they probably used it a lot more where they're like, yo, this is a great thing for bounty hunting. I feel like that was just something they kind of did on the fly in Cloud City. It wasn't like a – obviously it wasn't the plan. They didn't even know he was going to survive it. So I – again, the more – even the – when – what's his name? Nick Nolte's guy. The like basically piranha, like the walking piranha he's on.
Starting point is 00:37:07 It reminds me of the special effect dinosaurs they added in the special editions. So it's like let's just stay away from that. But at the same point, like I hated – I hated the blue guy that we met in the beginning. Like the first bounty. Horatio Sands. I did not like Horatio Sands. I did not like that guy. I thought it was kind of like lame, like bad funny.
Starting point is 00:37:26 So at the same point, like there's also like Aim Small, Miss Small. So I'm kind of like a hypocrite in that. I also love the Jawas. But yeah, like some stuff. But let's go outside our comfort zone a little here. Like you said, a bounty hunter can go anywhere in the world. I did like, too, the alien bar, the bounty hunter bar. They had like a lot of aliens that we've seen, a lot of aliens that we haven't seen,
Starting point is 00:37:46 a lot of species we haven't seen. I don't know if you noticed, there was one of Darth Maul's species, actually, with the horns coming out of his head and shit from Dathomir, which that's a cool thing to see as well. Darth Maul, he didn't have the red and black because I think in canon, that's like tattoos.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I think Darth Maul is just red and all the black is like tribal tattoos, basically. But yeah, keep expanding the universe. Keep making it feel big. Harold L. Stokes said, Clem and Robbie talking nerdy makes my heart happy. That makes us happy. Need your thoughts on this. And he sent along a tweet from a guy named Koi Jandrew, which sounds like a fucking Star Wars name.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Jesus. He said, give me that inevitable DC black label villain one-off film with Lex Luthor. So he's referencing earlier this week, there was a report that Todd Phillips was making a sequel to Joker. It was denied by Todd Phillips. It was denied by pretty much everyone after that. Like I think the Hollywood Reporter came out and said it and then Deadline, Variety, all of the other big movie media places said, no, that's not true. But there are rumors that maybe DC is going to continue making some of these grounded villain origin stories. That's actually something that Justin Kroll said on the podcast weeks ago before Joker even came out. He said, let's cast
Starting point is 00:38:56 someone who could be lovingly elected president who is actually trying to protect his beloved metropolis. Give me America's sweetheart, long overdue to play a villain. Give me Tom Hanks. It's an interesting thought. It's a really interesting thought. Shout out Tom Hanks, July 9th birthday, same as me. One of my favorite actors of all time. Who else? Who else is on that birthday?
Starting point is 00:39:19 OJ Simpson, so we could stop talking about it right there. I recently saw A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood on Friday, right before Rough and Rowdy. Myself, Caleb, Roan, and Frankie saw A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Tom Hanks plays Mr. Rogers. And Clem, I got to tell you, it was one of the more delightful movies I've seen in a very long time. All because of Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks, one of the greatest actors I've ever seen. One of the greatest actors of all time.
Starting point is 00:39:43 And he fucking crushes it so much. We were, the four of us, the four babies. We were welling up in the theater. of all time, and he fucking crushes it so much. We were, the four of us, the four babies, we were welling up in the theater, we were choked up, we were looking at each other, seeing if we're crying, seeing if I'm crying. I don't want to see Tom Hanks play a villain. I get that it's, you know, it's the, it's the Breaking Bad thing. You could see the dad from Malcolm in the Middle play a character you would never expect him to play. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Not with Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a good guy. I don't want Tom Hanks to ever turn on me. don't want him to turn on metropolis i'm out on that so i saw this tweet come in and i started reading it and then i i was like all right and i didn't realize it kept going because it cut off and i was like oh lex luther i was like we got it like they got to do that they got to nail it though because i think lex luther is an awesome character that just hasn't been done right because dc hasn't basically done anything right outside of the batman universe right and then i saw the tom hanks side of things and i was in the
Starting point is 00:40:28 same boat as he was like don't you do that to my tom like and like the like i mean it's it's it's america's sweetheart it's it's i mean back when i was like a goddamn kid it was big was the movie that i fell in love with him in and then boris gump and everything we love about comics hell tom hanks like if him and rita wilson divorced, like that will – I've never been affected by it. I know you cry when celebrities break up. Oh, don't say I cry when celebrities break up. It was one time. It was Chris Pratt and Anna Faris.
Starting point is 00:40:56 They were my favorite celebrity couple. It was one time. Bob, have you ever cried for any other celebrity couple? Let's be honest. It's the trust tree. We're in the basement. Honestly, probably. Yeah. I can't think of it off the top of my head probably i think i think the the hanks is getting divorced would crush me more than my own parents getting divorced so i am gonna
Starting point is 00:41:14 say i am out on tom hanks i cannot handle it and did i i blogged about it this week it turns out him and mr rogers are related they have they share the same great great great great great grandfather who must have been the greatest person of all time. The greatest. We were talking about that blog on the way into the theater because we had all read it that day. So we were all like, yo, did you see – oh, I saw it too. Yeah, Clem blogged it. We were like, isn't that one of the craziest things ever?
Starting point is 00:41:38 And then we all sat there for a minute and we said, no, it makes sense. Mr. Rogers, Tom Hanks, I mean they're cut from the same cloth obviously. I got to see that. I'm so looking forward to that movie right now. I've already talked to wifey. We're like that is our like our only plan for Thanksgiving is eat turkey at some point on Thursday, watch football and then see Mr. Rogers that weekend. It's a really good plan. I would recommend this to anyone listening to this podcast right now.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Like the four of us went in. The four of us loved it. All four of us had the same exact thoughts on it afterwards. We got two more questions from Nick G. Acabi, who writes in all the time. Thank you for listening, Nick. He said, with The Rise of Skywalker a month away, when do you think a good time would be to start muting words slash hashtags to avoid spoilers? I usually do it before the red carpet. It's interesting. This year, I think this go around, The Rise of Skywalker is going to premiere in Japan first, about a week before the movie comes out. I would do it before that happens.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Find out when the first premiere of the movie is, and then mute pretty much every word you could possibly anticipate someone trying to use to spoil a movie with you. For Game of Thrones, I did dies, died, dead, killed, murdered, stabbed. You know, literally every verb you could think of and then every character name and all of that kind of stuff. I think I go a bit overboard because obviously with the whole barstool thing, there will be assholes out here who will try to reach out to me personally and spoil it.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I don't know if everyone out there has enemies like that. If you do, try to do it before the first premiere. If not, I would say at least the week of the week of that monday stay off from then you know the hype has already built up enough there he also said if you and clem could each pick one jedi to win a duel for you who would you choose and why assume the duel would be against the Sith Lord, kind of like a trial by combat. So I guess we are Tyrion Lannister in this position. We have a trial by combat against a Sith Lord, and we can pick any Jedi we want to defend us. Who are you going with?
Starting point is 00:43:38 I'm going with the big bad boy. I'm going Annie. Give me Annie because he'll cheat. He'll do whatever it takes. The smile on your when you when you hit the heat he'll cheat that was that was a little worrisome it makes me think you're going to the dark side i'm kind of like i i'm like just thinking about like revenge of the sith anakin right now and i mean that movie was the best of the prequels which wasn't saying much but like i want to dig deeper into anakin i i i'm personal i i've said this i said this after i think The Force Awakens come out.
Starting point is 00:44:06 We did a podcast with R.A. and Charlie Wisco back in the day. I would love for them to redo the prequels, just act like they never happened and redo them. And I want to get in on Anakin because I find him fascinating and I want to see him kick some ass. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens or even if they did like a Disney Plus thing and they were like, we're filling in every single second that happened in the time period of the prequels that you didn't see. And they just pretty much treated it like they showed us only the worst parts of what happened in that time period. Or they do like a Marvel what if, what if the prequels didn't suck and they just show like three good movies. There actually is a series on YouTube. I think it's called what if the star Wars Prequels Were Good?
Starting point is 00:44:47 And I would recommend everyone check him out because it's basically just a guy in front of a green screen. And I think he did like storyboards. And he lays out his idea for the three movies. Not far – not straying too far away from the actual storyline they told. Pretty much being like episode one should have had a main character. Like episode one does not have a main character. You can't name a main character. If you say it's Anakin, we don't even meet him until 45 minutes into the movie.
Starting point is 00:45:09 You see it's Qui-Gon. It's definitely not Qui-Gon. Is it Obi-Wan? It probably should have been Obi-Wan. It probably should have focused on him for a while. It would have made his betrayal or his fight with Anakin way more emotional and all that. I think if they did that, it would work. I think if I'm picking my Jedi to fight for me, Anakin was an idea.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Obi-Wan is another great idea because, I mean, who beat Anakin? Sorry to bring up old wounds, but I've got the high ground, you know what I mean? Damn. I'm going to go with a pick that maybe people wouldn't expect, though. Maybe people would expect this because they're like, you fucking love the sequel trilogy, you nerd. I'm going to go with Rey. Based on the fact that from what we've seen from ray's force powers
Starting point is 00:45:49 her force powers just rise to meet whoever she's fighting now whoever she's fighting has been only one person it's kylo they have the force link maybe whoever she's fighting doesn't have that same force link but just the way she picked everything up so quickly i'm sticking with her i'm sticking with my girl, Rey. Oh, you just want to smooch Rey. You just want to smooch Daisy Ridley. I might want to be the damsel in distress for Daisy Ridley. One more question.
Starting point is 00:46:13 This one's from me. It's Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving's on Thursday. I have a Thanksgiving-related nerd question for you. If you could invite one person from the MCU and one person from the Star Wars universe to your Thanksgiving, who are you taking? Factor in. They got to get along with the fam. They got to bring some food.
Starting point is 00:46:32 They got to bring something good. You got to invite somebody I think like my MCU pick. I thought of this beforehand. Happy Hogan. I'm inviting Happy to my Thanksgiving. I'm not inviting Thor who's just going to get drunk and sit on the couch and watch football and not contribute, probably not bring anything to the party. I'm inviting Happy. I think he probably just turns into Jon Favreau. I think he throws on the chef robe and he's like, let's do it. Maybe he brings along Aunt May. Maybe he brings along
Starting point is 00:46:57 Peter Parker. Peter Parker, I would imagine, is amazing with kids. He could keep the children occupied in the backyard while that's all going on. From the Star Wars universe, I was also thinking, what era do I go? Luke, another one. Luke brings what? A fucking jug of blue milk? No way. He's gonna bring that big fish he caught in The Last Jedi? No way. I'm inviting
Starting point is 00:47:17 the one and only Poe Dameron. I know you don't like Poe Dameron much, but I think Poe Dameron's probably just a fucking good dude, shows up with a 24-pack, sits down on the couch, probably has that perfect level of football knowledge where he knows enough to talk with the guys, but not too much where it's like, man, this guy watches football all the time. What does he do in his life? You're like, no, no. He's a cool guy, but he knows about football. I'm going to fight in Poe Dameron and Happy Hogan.
Starting point is 00:47:43 I thought about Lando. Lando probably brings some rich, edible arrangement shit. But those are my two. You can't leave your aunt alone with Lando. No, no. That's another thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 And it's like, is Uncle Lando going to show up with an alien we've never met before? A Twi'lek we've never met before? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:48:02 My Star Wars one is a slam dunk. It's a no-brainer for me it's like just my favorite character is r2d2 i knew you were gonna i knew you were gonna invite r2 to thanksgiving he's just a pisser i just oh you know you're getting 3po2 you know they're not splitting up for thanksgiving so you're getting both and it's always like well we didn't plan to go it's like guys you guys have been 30 years in a row you guys obviously don't want to spend it apart yeah they show up r2 comes through the front door 3po comes through the old side door Guys, you guys have been talking about this for 30 years in a row. You guys obviously don't want to spend it apart.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yeah, they show up. R2 comes through the front door. 3PO comes through the old side door. And they're like, oh, so funny we see each other here. R2 also definitely would put on that tray that the Jawas put on him in A New Hope. Just be rolling around the party, serving hors d'oeuvres, serving pigs in a blanket, a little swish action. A little swish. My daughter has a R2-D2 towel when she gets out of the shower so like the top of r2 goes on her head and then
Starting point is 00:48:52 like she wraps herself in the rest of his body and i put it on myself and i was going are you all right and she's like dad she's already getting embarrassed by me but i would probably do the same thing with the real R2-D2 in person. MCU is tough, so the first thought is obviously my guy here. I bought this online. You know how people have collections where – not only just like baseball card collections, stamp collections, but they'll have like a hundred different kinds of the same statue or something. Yes. Maybe you can collect food.

We're just not a big political family.
Starting point is 00:50:08 If we had like a blowhard who wanted to talk politics, Thanos would speak circles around them. I would love to see Thanos just put – like he could talk you in and out. He convinced me that like genocide of half the universe was like the right move. I still kind of believe it when I think about it. You were until frigging Endgame. You were like, oh uh end game you're like oh he's got a point he's got a point however at the end of end game you know what happens and you know it breaks my heart so i think i would have it i mean she would be a huge downgrade her coming to our house but morgan stark i'd love to just i want to buy her cheeseburgers i want to give her turkey i want to give her a hug i wanted to play with

I never noticed that the Avengers, um, the new headquarters is in, like, the Hudson Valley. It could be not far from my house. Yeah, it's true. It's a car dealership, I think.

Starting point is 00:51:34 one of the biggest From the Top Rope guests yet. And I say that after having just interviewed Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. I'm still calling this one of the biggest guests we've ever had, especially in relation to what we used to discuss when that podcast was active. Shout out that podcast, by the way. I love how the My Mom's Basin has brought back old podcasts in new forms. You guys are on a heater, man. Stone Cold. You interviewed Stone Cold. I know. It was crazy. Being on the phone with Stone Cold, you just – nothing will ever prepare you for that moment where someone says, all right, you're on the line with Stone Cold.
Starting point is 00:52:09 And he goes, yo. I was just like – I called him Steve. I was like, did I really just call Stone Cold Steve? Like I don't know what else I would call him in that moment. I wouldn't be like Chris Farley. Hey, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Remember when you stunnered The Rock? That was awesome.
Starting point is 00:52:23 But I was just like, hey, Steve. How's it going? And immediately I was like, hey, Steve, how's it going? And immediately, I was like, hey, Steve, the fuck? I'm talking to Stone Cold. I should show Mr. Austin
Starting point is 00:52:30 some respect. But he was cool. KFC tweeted today, too. The way he just refers to conversing as shooting the breeze every time he says it is amazing.
Starting point is 00:52:39 He's like, oh, yeah, Rob, it was a pleasure shooting a breeze with you. And he hangs up. I mean, that's what you want. He's just the best. He's just the best.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Clem, thank you so much for always doing My Mom's Basement, always at the weirdest hours. I'll text Clem on a Sunday and be like, can you do My Mom's Basement? And I think your official response to me was, is Baby Yoda the cutest motherfucker in the galaxy? I was just like, man, this guy is the best. I hope everyone out there has a fantastic Thanksgiving. Clem, I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving, and we will talk to you next week. Same to you, Robert. Same to everyone else out there.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Same to you, baby, yo, wherever you are. Absolutely. Same to you, baby, yo. Same to you. And hopefully no porgs are getting eaten this Thanksgiving.
