Hello, and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and a very special White
Whale edition of My Mom's Basement.
It's Robbie Fox, it's Clem, but who is that under us?
If you're watching on the YouTube, if you're watching on the video feed, we have the white whale.
Tommy smokes, we've been talking about
bringing him on the show forever,
and today he's finally ready to come out of the closet.
And by that I mean the nerd closet.
Tommy's a nerd.
Tommy, what's going on?
Hey, four years in the making.
I like to get on every Barstool show, every show I can.
And I was going through the list
I was like I don't think I've ever been on my mom's basement now you claim that I have I went through the logs
I asked chat GBT they say I have not been on so I think this is my my mom's basement debut
I thought you were on years ago
I don't think you were ever on like the traditional show like we do it now years ago when I was starting
I was just bringing on random people from the office
I could have sworn you were on an episode with Caleb and ron at some point
but maybe not clem this is definitely the first time he's been on the normal show
Caleb and rome being in my mom's basement is breaking news to me so I don't remember that at
all it that the second floor New York office or what was that whatever the hq HQ2 was, a lot of shit happened in a very condensed
amount of space that I do not remember.
So, it's great that you said very special.
This is the specialist episode, Rob.
It has to be the special episode.
The most special, I would say.
The most special, yes.
And actually, the person who kind of kick-started this, I would say, is Nate.
Because a few weeks ago, we did the rundown, it was myself, Clem and Nate, and
Nate could not believe the level at which Tommy Smokes wanted to break down the Superman
trailer the day that came out. He's like, I think you need Tommy in the basement, because
we were huddled around Tommy's desk. Looked like that picture. Was that the Metro Boomin
picture when he's like looking over the computer, telling everyone what to do? It kind of looked
like that because we were going frame by frame. Tommy, you are a closet nerd. People don't know this about you. Yeah, I love Superman. I love Superman. I love Batman.
I mean, I grew up watching the Christopher Reeve Superman movies, the Michael Keaton, and then
Val Kilmer, and then George Clooney, very underrated George Clooney, Batman and Robin movie.
That was my go-to car ride movie. Like I had an old minivan where you have like a little TV player in the center console.
And I would always play Batman and Robin, Dr. Freeze, Uma Thurman, Poison Ivy.
Yeah, I see every Superman movie.
I loved the Superman and Batman animated series.
Those I would watch every night as a kid.
Like I would actually started rewatching them.
I come out for Superman,
Batman, Spider-Man was my first real big birthday party, the Tobey Maguire one and two. So yeah,
I come out for the big superheroes. I'm not going to see the fucking Eternals. I'm not going to see
like Superman, Batman, Avengers. I'll be there. Tommy comes out for the big the big fucking
swinging decks in the comic industry. Tommy's all over them. Yeah. And it's
crazy too like you said Rob you see Tommy you're like that's just a jock
that's a guy who was just hanging out with cheerleaders and had his glory days
on the field. I am floored that he knows I have to get it right
Clark Kent I'm sure I'm floored he knows who Clark is. Did you have to think about that?
Kent Clark, I get him confused sometimes.
Kent Clark, yeah.
I'm the second biggest Superman show fan on this show, which is very rare right now.
So I am curious, Tommy, where did superheroes come in for you? Because I feel like for me and
Clement was an older brother thing passed down. Is it like your dad who introduced you to this?
Yeah, I guess mainly my dad. I mean, I feel like as a young boy That's just like a classic thing like I went for Superman as Halloween one year when I had Salmonella
So I was only able to go and go to a few houses
I was like three and I had Salmonella
But I had a Superman outfit and then that was basically your kryptonite. Yeah, Salmonella Taco Bell was my kryptonite
I am a bunch of I would wear that all the time
I know my uncle
Tony, he got me big into comics too. I think he would be one he always says like, he tells a story
of I was like, I don't know, five. And he was like, Thomas, you want to go get a comic book?
And I was like, Yeah, yeah, of course. And like, walk me to the store. And then we got there. And
I said, Tony, what's a comic book? I'm so excited to get a gift that I was like, I don't care what it is.
I want a gift.
So, yeah, I would read some comics with him.
He would like, I read this big poster.
I don't even know how to describe this.
I shouldn't even bring it up.
It was like a big little poster rectangle and had all the superheroes on it
with little descriptions.
I think you're talking about Tommy, I think I know you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. So what you were more Superman Batman than anyone else you leaned DC
over Marvel I would assume. Big time. I think that. Did you lean Superman over Batman or Batman
over Superman? Superman over Batman? Superman over Batman? As a kid. I mean because he's fucking
Superman. Tell him Tom. Tell him it's fucking Batman. No, no. Like Superman's the boring one as a kid I mean cuz he's fucking Superman like how Tom tell this
fucking bad no no like superman's the boring one as a kid like he's a young
Robin have the fun villains like yeah fucking the name he's the guy he's just
Superman he just saves the day all the time it's awesome I mean I love that
but like they're like like there's so much more Batman media that's fun to
watch when you're a kid well I animated series just so much more Batman media. That's fun to watch when you're a kid. Well, I'm animated series Just so much better Batman Beyond like you've got oh my god. I love Batman
I know I listen I knew I wasn't gonna do this podcast without bringing up your love of return of the Joker
Yes that movie one of the scariest movies as a kid that Joker that laugh. Oh
Man, I loved Batman Beyond that honestly
I might have had to put above Superman and Batman for a time as a kid.
I was addicted to Batman Beyond. But yeah, the Batman movies
I feel like I got more into when like, you know, the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight and stuff, but that was you know,
I was 10 or 12. So I'm talking about it's like a real a real little world. It was all Superman and Batman.
So by the time Batman v Superman comes out, who are you there to see?
Well that was the worst movie of all time.
Let me just say that.
The fact that they had a Batman v Superman movie and managed to botch it that badly.
Zack Snyder is a fucking doofus.
The whole thing of them coming down to the fact that their mom's names are both Martha
is one of the most ridiculous plot lines in the history of any movie ever.
They're about to go to their Martha. That's my mom's name. You must be a good guy. Why did you say that name? So stupid. It's not that I didn't make it out to be but it's wasn't I was there for, I don't know.
I guess both of them being together.
But I was. Now, I do remember I am legend.
Do you guys remember an I am legend when there's a Times Square billboard
and billboard in I am legend?
I remember seeing that be like, oh, my God, this would be the sickest thing ever.
And then 10 years later, just a total dud.
Yeah, that was a horror show for me because I was working in theaters at the time. So I was so
afraid that it was going to get spoiled for me if I couldn't see it open night. And my manager was
like, you can come see it at three in the morning the night before I'll open up for you. Went and
saw it at three in the morning the night before I went straight to high school because it's like a
three hour movie with trailers and shit. And I was so delirious. I was like, I think I loved it.
I was like, I really think I loved it. And then I saw it again.ious I was like I think I loved it I was like I really think I loved it and then I saw it again and I was like
oh man I really didn't love it I'm not even sure if I liked it but now the
directors cut the ultimate edition it's fine there's decent scenes like there's
big portions of that movie that I think are good the fight itself is sick until
the Martha moment and then the Batman killing everyone in the warehouse fight
is pretty sick.
Other than that, there's not much going for it.
If they rushed the Superman death at the end, it's like the movie was over and they were like, by the way,
we're going to have another fall fight scene now.
Yeah, it man of steel to I mean Superman destroys the whole fucking city.
Superman doesn't save a single person in the Man of Steel.
The whole Zack Snyder DCU was not for me.
That's why I'm excited for the James Gunn, the reboot.
Like, they should, they have Superman and Batman.
They have the two biggest,
most well-known superheroes in the world.
Like, they should be able to make it incredible.
That's the most frustrating thing for, I guess,
us nerds who've been out of the closet
and like just on the grind all these years.
And it's like Batman has always, I think they've been pretty good with Batman.
I think Athelic had a little bit of a tough time out of all the ones there.
But like you said, Keaton all the way to Bale and now Pattinson too, which you were a fan of the Pattinson stuff, right?
Loved. Loved that movie.
And then obviously Penguin, you must have been like us just loved the Penguin.
Yes. And Tommy, Tommy, like I didn't know he was big into the
nerd stuff, but I know you're into like good TV shows and you
know, the stuff that will go crazy in terms of like you're
a throne. Were you a throne's guy? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So like
stuff like that, but to see you get into like like this level
of **** Now, are you like you said, you're not like die hard into like the this level of shit now are you you said
you're not like diehard it's like the Eternals and stuff but you've probably
seen Guardians like what are your thoughts on James Gunn we heard he was
taken over DC and then Superman was gonna be his first project we stoke right
off the bat like we were yeah so I saw I want to say I saw the first two
Guardians of the galaxies I like them I don't remember if I did. I might have. Oh, brother. But what I loved was Peacemaker.
Peacemaker on on Max was incredible. And I know he was behind that. So that gives me
faith. And what? Oh, his Suicide Squad was good too. The first Suicide Squad. Awful.
The greatest flop of trailer, like the sickest trailer of all time, but he mean Rhapsody, right?
So just a bad bad film but but his reboot and peacemaker and yet guards the galaxy
So I think it'll be good. Yeah, how into the MCU are you in that because we talked about growing up
You're more of a DC guy
But obviously I was more of a DC guy as a kid like all the superheroes and then the MCU comes about it's like well
Obviously they make the better movies overall. Yeah, I saw I've seen all the mark like I've like all the superheroes and then the MCU comes about it's like well obviously they make the better movies overall yeah i saw i've seen all the mark like i've seen all the
iron man the big ones one i've seen iron man through endgame got you know the the saddest
thing about tommy being in the closet with the superman stuff is i do feel like we could have
gotten some good him interacting with snider diehards over the like Tommy can play those people
they've got realize how crazy the Snyder verse like fans are
yeah I had a I had a tweet let me see if I could find it I had a tweet one time or
maybe a blog or something about um Zack Snyder and people destroyed me people are crazy about
him like and I don't even I don't dislike Zack Snyder as much as I dislike his crazy fan base.
No matter what Tommy says in this in the next two minutes, Bob, clip it and put it on some sort of social media and tag him.
Zack Snyder is a bad director who has arguably never made a good movie and I have no problem saying, I have never seen Watchmen.
Come on, 300, bro?
Yeah, not for me. Too much, too much violence. I'm 100 sick dude watchmen's also pretty sick
He he made bad Superman and bad Superman Batman movies like that to me is in X
I can't find this tweet. Did you ever even see his Justice League like the four-hour cut?
No, I actually do kind of want to watch it. I actually thought that oh, yeah
We need so March 30th
2022 I wrote a blog we need to talk about how bad the Martha scene in Batman vs Superman
was.
Wow years later you were like.
229 replies and like a hundred ratioed.
Yeah.
These.
Oh because I was upset that he he got Army of the Dead, his fan favorite film,
the stupid flash scene is the best cheer moment.
How much did Zack Snyder pay the Academy off?
He won, like the greatest moment in movie history
at the Oscars was a moment from Zack Snyder's Justice League
that wasn't in the normal one.
So it was like a moment that nobody really saw
unless you were going on Macs and watching
the four hour cut
of Zack Snyder's Justice League and making it all the way to the end, which I don't think
the numbers were great on making it to the end of that thing.
Yeah.
So that's what got me into them.
So I'm familiar with the Zack Snyder heads, but it's just weird.
People worship him so much.
He's not even a good...
They worship him.
It's insane.
Even his new movies, the Rebel Moon movies, they're like number one on Netflix for a few days,
but they're awful, absolutely awful.
So who out of the MCU heroes, who was like your guy?
If you had to say, I have a guy, you Tony Stark guy?
We're not counting Spider-Man.
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man was my guy.
Like I said, multiple birthday parties
to see Spider-Man one, Spider-Man three,
because they'd always come out early May my birthday's late April
So love that but within like the Avengers. I don't tell on spider-man if that's your guy
Yeah, I was more of a I like Tom Holland spider-man, but you know growing up with them
I like Thor to be honest. I remember you saying that Clem
We were in the office the other day and this was so strange. Marty was like, hey, I haven't seen many superhero movies. Which one should I start with? And Tommy turns around
and goes, I think should be the first Thor. And everyone was like, bro, that's the worst pick you
ever could have given someone that doesn't watch superhero movies. It's boring as fuck.
And Marty too, you're not going to have a long leash feel like Marty's gonna like the fucking Asgardian story with Natalie Portman.
But it's funny. Like when he, when Thor gets to America, gets to Earth, like I remember there,
this is such a deep cut for us nerds out there,
but there's like a scene where he's in a little coffee shop and he chugs down a mug of coffee
and he smashes it on the ground and says, another! And I just thought that's funny. That was funny.
That got me. That's kind of the only and I just thought that was funny. That got me.
That's kind of the only thing I remember from that movie.
There's probably 20 movies in the MCU I would recommend to Marty before the first Thor.
I mean I would recommend the first or before the second maybe but I don't know even me
I'm like the second Thor people call it the worst thing MCU at least it's got more action
than the first one.
I thought Ragnarok is highly regarded. That one was good. Right?
Yes.
I agree.
That one's awesome.
Yeah.
Led Zeppelin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Hulk doesn't do too much for me.
I get it.
You you're big, you're green, you're strong.
I that that that never done a lot for me.
Uh, I mean, I love Iron Man, obviously.
Um, yeah.
Iron Man and Thor, I guess would be the two.
Were you part of the end game squad that came with us and saw it or no?
No.
Why not?
Don't remember.
I guess we weren't friends.
An open invite to everybody.
You weren't into it that much?
Did you see endgame like opening weekend?
I think I saw it with my dad.
So I might have waited to see it with my dad maybe.
I'm not sure.
That's sweet actually.
I take back what I said about not coming to see it with us.
Little endgame story I don't think I've ever told in the pod
I still remember I think
Holy solid with Jeff and Ken Jack like they got earlier than everyone else and I just remember the look on their faces
Because this was in again the older office
So everyone was just crammed together and they had like this like almost like shit eating grin
But they didn't weren't smiling but it's like they knew what we didn't know
I'm like those motherfuckers and little did I know just how much shit
They knew because there's so much things that happened and I'm like man
How could you have kept that all in your head and not have like?
Like blurted it out as soon as you do they're going back in time. You're gonna relive all the fucking movies
It's incredible except for Thor one cuz that fucking sucked
Yeah, they even had a scene from Thor 2 in there not not even Thor 1. I mean, yeah, the portal. I feel like, so LaShawn McCoy spoiled the Iron Man thing for me.
Yeah.
Oh, he spoiled it for you?
Oh, damn.
And maybe Za.
Yeah, Za retweeting it.
Za called me like two days later to apologize to me and almost, I swear he thought that
maybe I could speak to the internet as a whole on his behalf
Because yeah, like I'm so sorry
I didn't realize what that meant to the nerds and he was saying that like in a you know
Nice ways like the nerds are really on me right now. Can you talk to them?
I was like I know I really can't like if you spoiled it for him, you know
It's a big thing spoiled it for Dave too
Like I think Gaz read Zah's retweet to Dave on a plane.
Dave was like motherfucker. Come on, man. It's on Gaz too. I
Pulled over when that happened. I was driving I forget where I was driving
But KFC called me and was like bro, you got to make a video on this like red alert
911 right now so I pulled over as on the side of the highway
I was like, I can't believe Sean McCoy just spoiled this for everybody And there there's if you drive in Jersey
There's billboards that say Tony in the way he spelled it with an E in there and every time I see one
I'm always like R.P. Madag before we continue on this podcast. Let's tell everyone about game time
We love getting out to live events whether it's a constant
Sir a football game a comedy show. Whatever it is. We always use game time.
The official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports.
You know how much we love it,
but now with their brand new game time picks feature,
they make it even easier to get into a game
or whatever you're trying to see.
Obviously, Glenny now not at Barstool full time anymore.
Me and Tommy are getting a lot closer.
Yeah, maybe me and Tommy will pick a ranger game to go to
and just to send Glenny a game time code from you know our group chat
I got something better for you, Bob. I just I'm on game. Okay now you guys Yankee fans, right? Yep
July 18th Billy Joel send Glenny a video of you guys. Oh, yeah
Incredible July 18th. We're there. Happy birthday Luke my nephew. Oh my god that would be funny.
Starting at a whole box too that's that's incredible pricing from Game Time.
That would nobody clip this and send it to Glunny. Nobody could. Honestly even if you do he won't
watch it he's not watching our clips this guy he's too good for us. No he's watching Theo Vonn's past weekend clips on Luke.
So we're getting those tickets we're going to Billy Joel night at Yankee Stadium.
It's going to be awesome. Download the game time app, create an account and use code MMB
for $20 off your first purchase terms apply. But again, create an account and redeem code
MMB for $20 off. Download the game time app today. What time is it? Game time. That is
an incredible idea. We have to do that. Um. All right. So some of the stuff I want to talk about on this podcast that we would be
talking about whether Tommy was here or not, but we need Tommy's take on the big trailers
that dropped this week. We got a trailer for the Fantastic Four, First Steps and a trailer
for Jurassic World Rebirth. Now we'll start with the Fantastic Four. I woke up at 6 45
AM for this trailer.
They said it's dropping at 7 a.m., which was like, what the fuck?
Why are you dropping at 7 a.m. on the East Coast?
I was confused anyway, but I've been doing these reaction videos.
Set my alarm for 6.45.
7 a.m. hits.
They hit an hour-long countdown.
So I'm like, what the fuck?
Are you kidding me?
They're showing rocket ships and backstage shit.
I'm like, you gotta be gotta be kidding eight o'clock hits
The countdown goes back up and I'm like, are you fucking kidding me?
Um now I'm getting mad at Marvel and now I'm like this trailer is not gonna be worth it
Don't even fucking put the trailer out if you're gonna do this
But luckily the countdown I think going back up was a mistake and then they go live and they're like we're gonna interview the
Fantastic four and then show
The trailer even then I'm like you've got to be kidding me, but listen respectfully Vanessa Kirby's looking good
I'm like, alright, I'll put up with this ten minutes. Whatever you're asking them awkward questions
Then they hit the button. They launched the trailer. I gotta say boys. I think it was worth the wait
I thought this looked fucking incredible Clem. What about you?
Well first, let me just say I did not wake up as early as you did
but I just happened to be up my sleep schedules all fucked up when I flew down in New Orleans and
All I caught I didn't catch I would have lost my mind
If I had what you had, you know, I would have been just you know
Roast and these motherfuckers all I caught was that interview that was the dumbest idea they've ever had
I don't know who the person was. It was so awkward. But the interview questions were terrible. I don't listen. I don't want to hear actors
be like, what does it mean to you to be Mr. Fantastic or Johnny Storm?
Either they were diehards like Ryan Reynolds who truly wanted to be Deadpool,
or they don't give a shit, they're here for the paycheck. I don't care.
Just do a good job on screen. We've had so many flops in the MCU.
I don't give a fuck. Just let the end, like they're talking about family
and how Pedro feels at whole these are really as family
Yeah, just give me the fucking too late the trailer. That's gonna get me excited the trailer that being said though
Maybe it's like it had such a bad taste in my mouth. It tasted awesome was good trailer came on
I was excited about it
The Galactus shot was sick again. I'm so sorry for all of the Galactus
I've seen a few different like fan made things along the way like posters and I'm like fuck this is my new Thanos
This is my dude
but I
Also, I watched it tweeted and did not go back on the internet because I knew there'd just be the fucking nerds complaining about CGI
Or seven other different things that went way above my head
So I personally really liked it and I'm excited for it
I love to hear what Tommy thinks about it
as a not fantastic foreguy.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan.
I mean, I saw the original Jessica Alba
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
I'm fighting my fist for the part.
Oh.
That was one of my first crushes.
I remember like me and my friend James in my basement
being like, we have got to find a picture
of Jessica Alba's boobs. Like just on Google, just nonstop searching, they got to be on here
somewhere. I don't know what I thought of it other than her being hot. I didn't they did some other
one right with Miles Teller. horrendous. Yeah, unwatchable. Actually, the director of that one
came out and told everyone like, please don't see it it It's the worst thing that I've ever done and I'm so embarrassed of it. Oh
Real quick Jessica Abla aside here. I am looking back now. I'm pretty sure I had the picture of her
You know the ass picture that's like infamous that ever I had that as my background for like three years like my mom would just
And just goes out and for as a Yankee hater
Every Yankee hater even KFC I get every two would say like we could hate the Yankees Jude or whatever but it's like he was with Jessica Alba you're
like tip of the fucking cap sir like Jessica Alba was untouchable the most
untouchable girl she was in rotation yeah just yeah one of the rotation yeah the
number three picture she was like she's not even starting game one potentially
it was craziness I'm sorry Tommy you have the floor but yeah no I thought this trailer
looked cool like like this to me is a movie where I'm not gonna be there no matter what.
This isn't Superman, Batman, the Avengers, but it's also not like The Eternals or whatever.
I feel bad just ripping The Eternals, but I'm trying to think of other examples.
Well though, yeah.
Like what if we've got Thunderbolts coming out?
Like has Thunderbolts got you intrigued at all?
I don't even know what that is.
So it kind of seems like it's gonna be Marvel's version of Suicide Squad. It's got like, Yelena
from Black Widow. It's got John Walker from Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It's got the
Winter Soldier himself. You've got to consider it. I have no promises. But the fantastic
four is like, let me see the trailer. Let me see the hype. I thought the trailer looked
really cool. And like really well shot. Like, I feel like see the hype. I thought the trailer looked really cool.
And like, we're really well shot.
Like, I feel like that's a movie.
I think I'm going to see it.
I'm not giving...
You know what?
Maybe I'll commit to you guys as a closeted nerd now
that I'll go see it.
But that's one where it's like, yeah, I'll probably see this
if I have time.
I'm not going to be there opening night.
Maybe I'll see it a week or two later on a Saturday afternoon.
All right, Tommy, listen, I'm not going to ask for you to go opening night but just as a friend of
the basement now I need you to go and just have one tweet on your thoughts. No video doesn't have
to be 280 plus characters or a thread just one tweet good or bad what you think. And if you go
see it we'll have you on to recap your thoughts. Oh about that? I'm in an immediate re-invite. Yeah, but I'm curious
You say this is like you'll be there if it really gets you
Are you an Incredibles guy?
That the move the movie the Incredibles the animation. Yeah, I mean I saw it as like a kid
So that's my favorite Disney Pixar movie. I think it's incredible, no pun intended. But
that is basically the Fantastic Four. Like they're literally just taking four people,
their powers combined, they're kind of taking like the same powers for the most part,
and you're putting them in that different environment. I feel like if you're an
Incredibles guy, you will be a Fantastic Four guy. I'm going to say Tommy's nowhere near an
Incredibles guy because he's like the
animated movie. Like, oh yeah, Pixar.
Well, I brought up a deep cut.
I didn't expect that connection to come.
Yeah, I saw the Incredibles as a kid.
I might have seen Incredibles 2.
I'm sure I liked it at the time, but that's about the extent of and I know the
memes of like the lady has a fat ass, the wife.
Yes, which like you literally have a stretchy person, invisible person, the fast person, they, you know, flame on and dash. You're kind of the white. Yes. Which like you literally have a stretchy person, invisible person,
the fast person they, you know, flame on and dash, you're kind of the same. And then you've
got a strong person.
Yeah. Yeah, I liked it. But like, I'm not going to be like, that thought never crossed
my mind of like, I got to go see the Fantastic Four because of the Incredibles. I did like,
I'm familiar with the Fantastic Four, from my uncle Tony and from from like
He's a legend. I don't uncle Tony's a big Fantastic Four guy. I remember him really about them a lot. So I
Saw the movie
Like again the original movie. I can't remember I thought about I was probably nine or something. But yeah
Yeah, they're like they're they're not the Avengers and they're not they're not to your a but they're to your B
I would say.
So I've got two questions following that up.
Would you be more intrigued in an X-Men movie than a Fantastic Four movie?
Who do you go, are you an X-Men guy at all?
So I saw some X-Men movies as a kid.
I saw the Wolverine movie for my 13th birthday the day A-Rod came back and hit a home run
in his first game back
from hip surgery in Baltimore in 2009.
So I did see a couple of movies as a kid, not quite for me, a little dark, I don't know.
What about Deadpool and Wolverine?
Did you see that one?
I saw the first Deadpool.
I did not.
I hate Ryan Reynolds.
I don't like Ryan Reynolds.
Oh, I forgot about that.
Yeah. I think he's a cocky pandering asshole. So I don't like Ryan Reynolds. We're not gonna
put that clip out because he follows me on Twitter. We're trying to get him to the big
boat. Tommy before the Deadpool stuff. I was anti Ryan Reynolds. He gets too many likes
on his tweets. That's that's it. He gets too many likes on his tweets when they're not even that good. I should be getting that many likes. I should be getting that many likes.
So, what was the question?
Fantastic Four or X-Men? What would you be more intrigued by?
Oh, well that's interesting. And also, if we start hearing rumors that Robert
Downey Jr's Doctor Doom may be
in this or a post credit scene.
Are you there opening night?
I'm it.
Well, I've never seen a movie
opening night.
That's just not my thing.
But I...
Wait, what?
I know.
I've never seen a movie opening
night.
I don't know.
You've never seen a movie
opening night ever.
So now, this is my question,
Tommy.
I don't know if this is gonna
affect your Fantastic Four outlook here, but the same month as Fantastic Four is Superman.
Oh, are you going to see Superman opening night?
If we make a trip together, I'll go see it opening night. We can make a trip to the Superman boys go to the movies together.
That would be fun.
Yeah.
I'd have to go see it again with my dad.
Speaking of Superman, I forgot to mention earlier,
some of my also favorite Superman media, the old I would watch this with my dad, the black and white Superman.
What was it?
The George Reeves?
George Reeves.
Yeah.
I'd watch those a lot as a kid because my dad would have them on like TV land or whatever
they would be on.
So I loved those.
They would be on TV land because they would also have the 1966 Batman.
Yeah.
I watched those, Adam West, too.
I watched those as a kid.
Classic.
And then also maybe my favorite that I can't wait for have to mention is the adventures of Superman and Lois Dean King
I was gonna bring that up because you also watched that you told me about that and you watched the
Animated Superman and Lois show that came out like a few years ago. Oh, yeah, I watched Jack Wade voicing Superman
Yeah, that was like I had the flu or something. I was home and I watched that I want to watch season two
It's out now, but I here's the thing. I don't remember a fucking thing that happened season one like
Yeah, you watch any other like cartoons creature commandos invincible any other like adult cartoons like that Lion King
I don't think even likes Lion King or
Incredibles response. I like invincible by. Invincible, by the way, is out today. Season three debuted today.
We're recording this in the morning,
or the afternoon rather, so we haven't watched it yet.
But first three episodes are out today,
and also some new episodes of
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man dropped today.
We'll discuss that next week.
We'll discuss it next week.
People are asking for sure.
Daredevil, I love the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie.
Jennifer Gardner, so hot.
Gotham, I love that.
Are you gonna be in on Daredevil coming back?
So Daredevil is a Netflix series, now they're bringing it into the Disney+.
That's a show though.
Are you in on that?
I don't know if Tommy, does Tommy do that?
No, I watched the first two seasons of Daredevil on Netflix.
Wow.
I liked that a lot.
That was in college.
I'd watch it on my laptop in my dorm room.
I liked that a lot.
Like I said, I'm just listing now superhero shows that are coming.
So Daredevil comes back March 4th, by the way.
And it's a continuation of another show.
I think I might...
How many seasons were there?
Three.
Three.
I don't think I saw that.
But this is kind of going to be like, it's going to be a soft reboot where I think you're
going to be able to just jump in here, but the old stuff will help you.
I'm going back and I'm watching it all now because I had never actually seen it.
So I'm like... I watched the YouTube recap video for season one and like a three-minute review video for season two
So I have I'm going includes you should actually be the host of that show if you want to just
All right, so Tommy's in on daredevil overall I thought the trailer is great. I love the retro futuristic vibe
I love the fact that they showed us a lot of the powers up front
I think the thing looks fucking awesome the brow line looking like the actual comic brow line him doing
Cooking stuff with her he has to be a nod to the bear, right?
I said I don't know if they should have done that cuz then I just felt like I was watching cousin with rocks on top
Of him, right? Yeah, and his voice is just straight up, he doesn't change his voice at all.
It's not like Vin Diesel doing Groot.
It sounds like the bear.
But he also I feel like I could see the thing.
The thing is, like, I think the guy who jumps the most off the page
was just the way he acts in the books.
Yeah. And I'm like, I was like, oh, fuck that thing.
I understand why they casted him now, like the way he acted in there,
I thought was good. So even though the food stuff, I was dude you're just taking the one thing yeah so there's also who was the robot
that confused me that's herbie they have like a robot the fantastic four has a robot that like
helps him out it's like they're alfred almost or jarvis yeah or jarvis exactly i better think
they're gonna do something with like showing us a Fantastic Four origin and then skipping forward to when they're already famous superheroes in this universe as well.
Because there's that line where Pedro is talking to Vanessa Kirby and he's like the first time we went to space, you couldn't turn invisible.
Ben wasn't a rock. You know, Johnny wasn't Johnny yet or whatever he says.
And then you see we have kids with Thing action figures and Thing Max and
they're like famous superheroes in their universe. So I think they're going to go to space, they're
going to get their powers, and then they're going to skip forward to them fighting Galactus or the
Silver Surfer, Doctor Doom, whoever the villain may be for this mole man even, could be mole man
played by Paul Walter Hauser, that's rumors because he's in the movie but we don't know who
he's playing yet. I think they'll skip forward to that and then they'll win but lose.
They'll maybe save their universe at the end, but wind up in a different universe that winds
up being the MCU 616. They go forward in time. And then we have this out of the box kind
of Captain America feel with this family from the 60s in a different universe now with all
of our heroes in the MCU for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
I think that'd be sick.
Well, you mentioned origin stories.
That just made me think I am a sucker for an origin story.
I know...
Oh, you like an origin.
Some people don't, some people are the opposite.
Because my one critique with the Batman, Robert Pattinson,
and I get it, where it's like, how many times do you need...
Wait, wait.
You wanted to see Martha and Thomas get shot in the alley
every time
I want to see sue and I know they said the James Gunn Superman might not do it, but I want they're not doing it
I want to see Krypton sue me. I want to waste time bro
We know you want to see the baby get put in the pod and sent to fucking yes
No, no Marlon Brando Superman Christopher Reeves. That's I caught that's like scary, but I caught I I
Did it already we seen it. That's what I think Robbie
I want to see how they do it like in every new movie like there
I know it's relatively the same, but you know I want to see what a steal was cool
But it took up like 30 45 minutes the whole beginning of the movie there on Krypton. I
Actually didn't hate that I thought it was a unique way of like if we're gonna cut out some of the childhood show them on
Krypton at least yeah, I don't hate that part of man of steel
I actually like Michael Shannon the animated series does that well to Superman the animated series
I believe the first ever episode is on Krypton for quite a while
It's tricky because I'm someone who is very much like I don't need to
see the origin story for the 10th time and I also don't want a three-hour movie so it's like by
cutting out the origin story you do that. There's an entire generation of like kids like my kids
will never see an origin story because we are now making the decision in like the 2020s we're done
with origin stories. It's like I don't like they're like why is Batman just fight people? It's like
his parents got murdered like his parents got murdered when when he was a kid, you didn't know what about spider-man
Why does he do that? Uncle Bang? I'm who the fuck is Uncle Ben?
They don't know any of these things because we've just eliminated every like comic franchise has decided
This is the generation that we're just gonna stop the origin story and it's bullshit
Look oh like and maybe in ten years. It's like alright, it's time for to see Martha and Thomas leaving Zor-El again.
Yeah.
I don't need 30 minutes. Give me 10 minutes.
Let me see somebody play Jor-El and let me see him get on the ship and he crashes and, you know, like, I want to see him do something.
This is helping my respect for Tommy. Him dropping Jor-El and shit.
Tommy, what do you think about this? Superman grows up in Nebraska instead of Kansas?
No
I
Said Nebraska by mistake when I said I'm the biggest Superman guy on the pod and Robbie's like he's in Kansas
God fuck I was new as one of those he just picked Superman cuz he was like I gotta I gotta have someone to go against
Robbie with here. He just decided cuz I'm the Batman guy He's gonna be the Superman guy, but immediately
Son, yep, exactly. What if that happened one day?
Yeah, you realize what's happened now super Batman saw just how the hype Superman's getting and now they've pushed it back another year
They're like we're not ready to put this out against the big guy the captain of the franchise. Let's be honest
It's the it's the yellow the red captain of James Gunn let's be honest. It's the yellow, the red, and the blue.
It's the captain of James Gunn's DCU now, for now.
I was gonna say, how do you guys feel about the rumors
or the thoughts that maybe the Robert Pattinson Batman
will join that Superman universe?
I would actually be okay with it,
and I think you would be able to leave a separation
where Matt Reeves is still able to make the movies
with the tone like he's making,
but also have him appear in this like
I'm not saying
The James Gunn universe could like not be canon to Matt Reeves
Well, you could almost do a thing where like you don't have to reference the Superman shit in the next Batman movie
You know what?
I mean, you could have a grounded Batman story and then he goes off to help the Justice League and then a grounded Batman story
That's how the comics are so I would be down for it
I would also be down to have a completely different Batman
in that universe who has Robin and he has the Bat family,
maybe Batgirl, maybe Nightwing's already established.
And you can have him against Clayface and Poison Ivy
and Mr. Freeze and a bunch of people
that maybe would look goofy against Robert Pattinson.
I would be down for either one.
I think either option is a fine option. I just want to be the I just think it's tough. I don't want to be the Batman that
is just like emo and has like a cloud above his head the whole time. But it is kind of
weird blending those two together, right? Which Superman looks with the way Batman actually
is. So yeah, you don't like it, Tommy, you're not sure it could work. Yeah, I just think
like the Matt reads, it's almost like there was almost like a true crime
movie in a way. Like it's so real. Like everything feels like it's realistic. Like this, I mean,
to me, could happen. Like Superman, obviously he's never fucking happening. Like that. Like
so the mixing of those is tough. But then, you know, the other part of me is like, well,
we have a huge super huge Batman movie Hopefully a huge Superman movie then making another Batman
That's like a different you that's like gets confusing for like kids and stuff like how many fuck it gets confusing for kids at?
The same point like kids can't see the Robert Pattinson Batman
We've talked about that on the show like they're not currently making Batman movies that kids could see which is a little weird like it's a
superhero at the end of the day it comes in my head. I would rather than be separate. I
Don't think I'm Christopher Nolan movies are a little scary for kids, too. I'm saying they were like that. Oh, yeah
Joker is horrifying. Yeah, I'm a six-year-old. I don't think I could let him watch the bat make
Oh this rat is gonna be no gnawing through stuff and this dude gets fucking
Assassinated right in front of his kid finds the dead body. That's pretty heavy. I don't think I can watch the bat- I could let them watch the batman.
So like have a lighter- have a batman with the tone of a MCU movie.
I know people like joke about the MCU tone, the comedic, whatever.
But like I do kind of want to see a different- I would like to see Batman that wears fucking gray
and he has the black cowl and you know, make him more comic related.
I think that would be the best avenue to go in the future.
Maybe we could have cut the 10 minutes of them fighting
on top of the scoreboard at Madison Square Garden
and then just had Martha and her husband, you know,
I forgot what's his name?
Thomas.
Thomas Wayne, like very brutal murder scene.
And then we would have gotten the whole origin story.
Yes.
But now like, I feel like these kids are gonna need
the origin story in the happy Batman
And it's two parents getting murdered in front of their child's no you don't you don't do the origin and the happy Batman either
You do it every time
They can even do it in sequels. They should be like by the way. This is how it happens
Tell me what's it like the national anthem at the beginning of a game?
We gotta do the origin. I want to see the pearls hit the fucking floor
a game. We got to do the origin. I want to see the pearls hit the fucking floor.

I could fucking dream up
But yeah, I would play like Call of Duty with my friends as a kid, but I hated it
I was so bad at it. That's pretty bad attitude, but I still played Turtle Beach made me a little better
Another thing I wanted to ask you about are you a Jurassic Park Jurassic World guy at all?
No, I mean I saw the original obviously as a kid. I did see the first Chris Pratt on
It was June of 2015. I believe was working at a 7-eleven went to Applebee's with my friends and then saw Jurassic World
but
Now like that's another one like that's less than fantastic for that's another one where it's like
I'll see it if I have time like I'm an AMC a Lister
I paid $24 a month and I do not see I do not they're about to raise it this week this week
They just announced that today. Did you see that? No, I'll never can't one up two bucks at this point
It's I've had it for like five six years and now they they are I'm a sucker
I'm who they want like even if I went to two movies a month it'd be worth it
I don't do that
But if I want if I decide like I want to take advantage this AMCA list past I have
Then then I'll go to the Jurassic World or whatever this was
So this did this new trailer do anything for you or no?
It looks good I mean it's fucking Jurassic like the answer that's no that hesitance is no.
Clem what about you? Does this do anything for you?
What though could a Jurassic World, Jurassic Park trailer do like oh there's gonna be a bunch of
dinosaurs and like like that like this one the dinosaurs look different like for the first time
They look a little different. I'm like alright listen. I like the first Jurassic Park. I like the first Jurassic world
I don't like any of the other movies. I think the other ones kind of stink
I like the idea of the franchise though and this one being like alright
We're going back to the island where they were trying to make the dinos from the first Jurassic Park
But these are the mutated ones that we fucked up and had to leave here.
I'm like, I don't know.
It seems like they're doing something different.
Seems like they're making it scary again with mutated ass dinosaurs on this scary island.
I don't know.
This one kind of did do something for me that the last two Jurassic World movies didn't,
the trailer at least.
Are they all supposed to be connected?
Yes, but this one is taking a little time jump, I believe, where they're like,
it's a little separation, but they're like acknowledging that the last movies existed.
They're like 1980 whatever Jurassic Park. Same universe, yeah. Got it, got it. Everything is a
Seeg. They don't, so far in the Jurassic universe, they haven't like decanonized or retconned anything like that. Clem, what about
you on this trailer?
This trailer maybe become the Jesse Pinkman meme. He can't keep getting away with this
because every time like, Oh, another Jurassic Park movie is coming out. This is going to
suck. And then I'd see the trailer like, well, now I want to see that fucking movie and it's
going to be awesome. And they're fucking back now. back now luckily I I think it was like two Jurassic worlds ago so it's park to world right we
haven't gone outside of park and world I think was like two Jurassic worlds ago I
left the movie here I was like that was fucking this is fucking so goddamn bad
and I didn't go see the last one and I was like the only way I'm gonna go is if
the reviews are great they were obviously they were so bad and maybe so
happy I was like yes great call on that one go is if the reviews are great. They were obviously they were so bad It made me so happy. I was like, yes great call now
I didn't see the last one either then that says a lot for the basement boys to be like
We're not going to see this Jurassic Park movie because they had like Tommy said they have be hook line and sinker time
It's like dinosaurs. I'm fucking in and like Robby's think you're like, oh, they look a little different
They'll throw an a-list actor at you this time. It's Scarlett Johansson and you're like, okay, this could be good the
Storyline premise it's like it sounds just crazy enough to be good the storyline premise it's like oh it sounds just
crazy enough to get me back in but it's like at some point they just have to learn to stop
fucking with the dinos right it's like it's this is like chipotle it's like every three months you
find out like there's an outbreak everyone's getting sick and then people stop eating a
chipotle the serve the quality goes down except it's a dinosaur island that eats people alive
every fucking movie.
So I just don't get it.
I'm so mad how bad they fumbled this fucking franchise.
And I'm at the point now where again, Robby, what do I say every like three years on this podcast
whenever a new trailer comes out?
What kind of movie do I want in Jurassic Park?
Uh, I don't know.
A fun one.
What do you say?
I want one where they just go and the dinosaurs are behaved and they're oh, yeah
You just want to watch them like a zoo. I just want to watch dinosaurs
Can I just watch like a screen saver of a movie?
I forgot you do say that release it on VR and have it be like exclusive to Apple
I'm pretty sure they definitely have that on VR
You could definitely find that if you like I want the Jurassic Park people working on it
Yeah
Clearly the best and it's like charge me
$20 to get the app and I could just go around watch the dinosaurs if I pet them
I see my hand pet the dinosaur boom. I'm like right
This is going to fucking suck. It's going to fucking suck. I don't know the suck though because look at the director
That's behind it
It's Gareth Edwards the guy who directed Rogue One the 2014 Godzilla and the creator which came out last year
I know you didn't see it, but it was pretty fucking good with John David Washington. It's a 2014 Godzilla Cranston
Yes, I didn't see it, but I heard it was pretty good. I didn't see it was pretty good
What any made Godzilla scary again you said before the pod we have to have hubs on for a dinosaur podcast
Yes, and I said hubs being...
Hubs obsessed with Godzilla, Dinos, Jurassic.
He's so weird.
It's so funny.
It's one of my favorite things in the world is how obsessed Hubs is with Godzilla.
I love it so much.
And I can tell Tommy hates it so much.
Something else that we have to touch on is I have been informed by One Tommy Smokes that
he has a Jurassic conspiracy theory.
Yes, the ride in...
I have a theory about the ride in in I have a
theory about the ride in Universal Studios in Florida.
Have you guys been on it? Which one we have not water ride?
Yeah, the water ride we have. We didn't go on the Velocicoast.
I thought you were talking about. I don't know what that
is. No, the one that's been there. Okay. Yes. Yes. We went
on that like on the Disney Boys trip. I think they changed the
the drop on that.
The first time I ever went there,
so I've been to Universal, I don't know, three, four times,
like as a kid, go visit my family in Florida, go a lot.
First time I went, I don't know, I might've been six,
that drop, when the dinosaur head drops down in front of you
and then you drop, it was the scariest drop
I've ever been on in my life.
And I was like, that's the deepest thing ever.
I go back a couple of years later, do it again.
Felt like nothing, felt like a minuscule drop.
Now you're gonna say, oh, well that's just
cause you're older, it didn't seem as big.
But then I go back a few years later,
the drop feels even steeper than the first time.
And then I think I went back again and it felt shallow.
There's something
going on with those fucking drops. I actually even think they might have changed the dinosaur
head where like the one you see, I have like, it's like one of my core memory, like a core
image in my head. Like one of the first things I can remember is, is that dinosaur head on
that first one.
You know what's so weird? This is fucked up. That is one of my core memories as a four-year-old
I swear to God I went to Disney and Universal's a four-year-old and I have these tiny memories of the trip
You don't remember the whole thing
Obviously kind of a blur that going up that little log flume and the dyno coming out is like a formative memory for me
And here's the basement boys
Shout out Sam Lauderdale took that picture for us.
Yeah, that was a fun day. We did a little post you post Disney boys. Me and Clem just went to Universal. The Spider-Man ride. Yeah, they have their little Marvel ride. Yeah. Yeah, that's sick.
And there we went. We had an absolute blast. We were like, we have their little marvel of rod. Yeah. Yeah, that's sick. And there we went we had an absolute blast
We were like we got to do this next time
Universal felt way more catered towards like two guys like us than Disney obviously being for kids
Universal is like a lot of shit for just adults to think is cool
We need Dave to get really into Harry Potter. So he'll take us. Yeah, like honestly that would be ideal a list
The coolest ride at Universal was the Harry Potter train that just like takes
you to that part of the park or whatever.
The train being like the actual one from Harry Potter, the window looks like the screen so
it looks like you're passing Hogwarts.
It was sick.
I've been, I've watched one Harry Potter movie my entire life and I've read a single word
of the books and it was pretty fucking awesome.
You're not a Potter guy are you, Tommy?
I saw the first three as a kid and then Tom Riddle creeped me out too much. I always say this it wasn't Lord Baltimore
It was Tom Tom Riddle a teenage British boy. I used to like be afraid. He was it hiding in my closet
No, I mean
Honestly, I would maybe give it a rewatch like see as an adult
But I rewatched him I had only seen like the first four or something as a kid and then two years ago I watched them all
they're pretty fucking good that's like it's a very fun marathon actually yeah
so I'd consider that there's a dude Universal starting this year too in
Florida they're opening epic world I think it's called a Nintendo land that's
we're gonna take the kids there I think next year once the crowd dies down a
little but I do think like going to Springfield was sick. Um, you'd like the E.T.
Ride was so old, but it did feel like part of history. You know,
he was awesome. I tell people about this day. No, they took that away, dude.
I think years ago too, right? And he's not in Kong was that I went out of way.
Yeah. Yeah. I know. Like shook you in
the bus, right? Yeah, both very
scary. The Jaws ride was my
favorite ride I went on as a
four-year-old. At the end of
the trip, my parents were like,
alright, everyone could pick
one ride that we all go do
again and the Jaws one is the
one I wanted to do. Nice. Bad
ass four-year-old Bob. I think
earthquake was my core memory,
right? Oh yeah. Earthquake was
great in the, you're in the
subway station and like. The water comes down and **** That was good right. It was great in the year in the subway station And I like the water comes down and she knows good twisters was great or I guess it was just twister at that point
Tommy I think what we have to do. There's only one person whose opinion I would trust on if this
Log flume jump has been nerfed
We got asked Jake Marsh. I've seen his more
He'll know like oh, yeah went from X amount of feet to X amount of feedback
Yeah, they changed the track to an x know look. Oh, yeah, we're from X amount of feet to X amount of feedback
Yeah, they changed the track to an x4 70. Yeah, I call him right now
Call him see if he'll pick up. It's a it's our phone a friend. Yeah
Tour right now, but if not, we can get oh actually no, we don't know we don't fucking know
It's Thursday. Does PGA happen on Thursday at this like the people are like trying to make the cut now. It's not important
Oh
Again
He is doing the pga tour right now. Oh, okay. He's doing the waste management open. Oh, yes
He actually is. Oh shit. He just flexed on us big time. We're like, ah, fuck it. It's not important
Yeah, i'm gonna ask him about universal track
He's gonna get all these
Text messages and then like hey, yeah, they changed the trap
We'll get his answer if not by the end of the episode we'll get it next week one thing to look forward to now Tommy for
July they're calling it super Jurassic for Superman
Jurassic Park and Fantastic Four we've got Jurassic Park
Jurassic World rather July 2nd Superman July 11th Fantastic Four July 25th for now
I still think
Fantastic Four should push that release date, and I'm not saying they should be scared of Superman or anything like this.
I'm just saying maybe push that date two months
and more people will come to see it.
Oh, you think that long?
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe give people till September.
No, I think it's like three weeks.
It's two massive, end-pull superhero movies,
two weeks apart.
I don't know.
I'm thinking back to how Mission Impossible got fucked
when Barbenheimer came out the next week
Jake Jake Marsh said that I said haha all good. I'm on break in 15
So alright. Well. We won't be still doing this in 15. I don't think
I'll edit it back into the episode at this point. You'll get his answer right now
I don't think they've changed it however sometimes there could be a backup or traffic jam between boats
And they'll keep you up top staring at the t-rex for longer than usual which might change the perception of the drop versus going straight down
Whoa, I can't believe he said that are we sure he's gonna be are we sure we're able to get up?
What Jake Marsh yeah, yeah, you'll text him in 15 when he's on break, okay, okay
Yeah, you'll text him in 15 when he's on break. Okay, okay.
All right, so we just have a few more quotes to break down before we end it, but I do want
to remind everyone about DraftKings once again.
I know we did the ad before.

Tommy, do you have any good picks for the people, picks that you like as far as touchdown
scores in the Super Bowl?
I took that happy hour boost they had yesterday.
I don't know if it's still available, but the plus 100 either my homes or Jaylen Hurts
to score.
I'm going to be on the Chiefs.
It's just-
I'm on the Chiefs too.
I'm done.
I'm done betting against the Chiefs.
I'm not doing it. Is there any Giants fan like you hating the Eagles part of that as well
I mean I do fucking hate the Eagles. So like I want the Chiefs to win
But I don't know. I think I think the three P just seems destined to happen
I haven't done I haven't gone through done all my bets yet
I did do that on pets like you do the Gatorade color
through Donald my bets yet. I did do that. That's like you do the Gatorade color.
Oh, yeah. Well, they don't have usually the Gatorade is not
usually on draft Kings.
It is I saw it is I was on yesterday.
Yeah, purple was the favorite on draft Kings yesterday.
Gotcha. Oh nice.
At least in New Jersey.
I don't know if it's every year.
I might not Jersey or sure they have Gatorade, but I do the
coin toss tails or heads every year.
Sorry, I do heads every year heads every year, but tails
never fails Tom. I do coin toss tails or heads every year. Sorry, I do heads every year. Heads every year,
but tails never fails, Tom.
Yeah, that's that's what the
that's what the the you know,
pig morons or the these up there
slap. Oh, tails never fail.
It fails about half the time,
so I'm going to be on. I love it.
I fucking hate the tails.
Never fails. Yeah, no.
Clem, you too. I freaking
walks about accuracy. Oh, Clem, you too? I've been walking in accuracy.
Oh, the fucking pitch. Just a bunch of dumb more.
In all stars in Little League, in all stars in Little League,
you would flip a coin at the beginning of every match to see who was going to be home or away.
I said match like I'm talking fights now, but every game, home or away.
And every time our team would say, Tales never fails.
We want to be a home team. We want a lot.
I'm telling you, Little Fairy, South Hackensack, 2008 Little League. We want a lot. I'm telling you Little Fairy South Hackensack 2008 Little League. We want a lot guys. 52% of the time. I did bet Peyton Hender shot
anytime touchdown score plus 3000. He's like the third string tight end or something on the
on the chiefs. I just had an epiphany and it's like once I said it once I said that out loud as they will I can't not bet this
Yeah, all right. We'll go to drafting is back this week, too. So oh, that's right. And you're a former winner
I am a former former. I have my crown is sitting right over there. I think we got
300 and it was 365
I remember was what we got to split because I picked the Rams defense as the longest touchdown of the day
So you put that in you could pick up the three players, put them in a parlay,
just a $5 parlay, make sure you opt in. And it's, it used to be,
you split $2 million between everyone who chooses whatever person is it's up to
5 million for the big game. So check it out.
I am going to be getting in the lab here. Um,
and just getting fucking weird who I'm gonna pick with
this this long as Michael Hardman still in the Chiefs. No, he is but he's hurt because
that was my guy and I picked him first touchdown every week. He'd always screw me. The only
guy didn't took him. He was with the Jets scored it. I took him first touchdown a last Super
Bowl and what did he do? He scored the game winning last touchdown at the Super Bowl.
Oh damn. All right. Go to D in the wound. Good bet, last.
What did you have, Kings?
Good bet.

All right.
So there was just a few more quotes to wrap up the show real quick.
This one really made me laugh.
I sent it to Clem yesterday.
The Back to the Future writer Bob Gale says they'll never make a fourth film.
And here's this quote, he says, people always say, when are you guys going to make a Back
to the Future 4?
And we say, fuck you.
And you can quote me on that.
Amazing.
Just an amazing quote.
One of the best I've ever read, I loved it.
I think he's now being run by the guy who puts out
Dave Portnoy's PR statements there.
Is that any interest that ever comes to mind?
Can't comment on that.
Fuck you, you want a sequel of one of the most, you know,
beloved trilogies of all time, because you're such a fan?
Fuck you, you can quote me on that.
That, actually I am surprised, I mean, I guess it makes sense now surprised
I never have like that seems like such a classic like we'll reboot this
Oh, yeah, people have talked about it for years with like tom holland could play marty mcfly like people always say that
I I love the back to the future trilogy
um, i'm one of the people I think like my age range from like Brendan Clancy,
Kevin Clancy, like everyone who
grew up saw two the future like
holy **** and then almost don't
know that **** actually
happened. Hold it very near and
dear to our hearts but I hate
three. I loathe. I know a lot
of people do hate three. I
haven't seen three. I love the
first two but. I haven't seen
three either. They we did it on
the podcast. I had never seen
one and two. So years ago, me, ago me Brendan KFC and Clem did a podcast on
back to the future one and two you could go back and listen to that I'll put it
in the description of the episode as well and it was fun but they all told me
like yeah don't even watch three it'll kind of ruin it for you yeah so for they
probably really motherfuck I did watch it back to the future document
documentary recently I think was on prime if people want to check it out.
And it was actually really cool because they had like Zemeckis,
they had a couple of people who wrote it and stuff.
And you could tell they're all like over our dead bodies.
And I was wondering, this might be from that doc.
I don't know when it was filmed.
But I'm happy that it's like they're going to...
They have it on... I think it's on Broadway.
So like they'll still...
Yeah, people love it on Broadway.
People say they do like crazy-ass special effects that you don't even understand how they're happening
Yeah, supposedly the Broadway show is awesome. I
Want to become more of a Broadway guy? I like Indiana Jones for throwing out just shit that I like
Perfect Tommy. My next topic is Indiana Jones
My next topic is
My next topic is Indiana Jones. And I was gonna bring it up because Harrison Ford reacted to Indiana Jones in the dial
of destiny flopping at the box office.
His quotes also incredibly said shit happens.
I was the one who really felt like there was another story to tell when India had suffered
the consequences of his of the life that he had to live.
I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him
out there.
I'm still happy I made that movie. And I know
Tommy, you saw that movie and we talked about it. You were also
one of the people that were like, that was a good movie. I
don't know what people were talking about.
Yeah, I thought it was fun. Like that's the most recent one like
two years ago. Yeah, yeah, I liked it. I even liked Crystal
Skull or whatever the fuck.
Me too.
Like they're they're all pretty good that the whole search for
the Holy Grail was that was another
Transformative memory like me and my dad like got the movies for me watched all three and like a few weekends
And I was like I'm gonna find the Holy Grail. I'm gonna fuck you fine. I was convinced that I was gonna find the Holy Grail
Yeah, it's like I don't know. It's fucking Indiana Jones. I don't need an incredible like I
Don't I don't know like you know what you're getting. It was great
I thought it was exactly what I wanted
out of the Dial of Destiny.
And I was one of the people before they made it being like,
I don't think they should make this movie, Indy's too old.
I think you should reboot Indy, have him be James Bond.
After Dial of Destiny, I was like, I fucking get it.
I understand why they wanted to make that movie.
It was great.
Yeah, I liked it.
I will say time to hang them up, Harrison.
Like you're done playing.
Yeah, at this point.
Like I think the reboot would be cool for sure. I will say time to hang him up Harrison like you're done playing. Yeah at this point like
Reboot would be cool
For sure, but yeah, I don't know about I don't know about like I don't see Harrison Ford again
Clem have you seen dial of destiny or no still?
Is that the newest one? Yeah, I got like I think I was like I started on a plane I was just tired so I turned it off
We're the watch when it's not a must watch watch I'm not saying you got a rush to see
it it's nothing you've ever seen before but if you got a few hours you're like I don't
know what to throw on I think you would like it for sure.
Yeah I again I am not nearly where you guys are with Indiana Jones it's just one of those
it's hard to say how that you missed the Indiana Jones movies when they were coming out live
like in the theater but but I missed them.
And then I remember at some point like this, like kid on my bus was kind of like a loser.
He would just come on.
He turned, he brought a boombox with him, right?
This is what he did.
And he would play the Indiana Jones song and he had, or no, Indiana Jones hat.
He wore, he had an Indiana Jones hat and everyone would start singing the Indiana Jones song
when he came on.
Yeah.
I could see that rubbing you the wrong way.
That's going to ruin Indy for you.
Yeah, for sure.
Do you think rocket? I like Davy Crockett.
I had a rock when you said had, I had a raccoon hat as a kid. I used to know.
Yeah, I'm at it weird in public, but like I used to,
like I used to get the Davy Crockett movies from the library. Like with my aunt,
like I King of the wild frontier, Davy Crockett, Davy Crockett movies from the library, like with my aunt, like King of the Wild Frontier, Davey Crockett, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
I missed out on Davey Crockett.
You're missing out.
I missed out on Davey Crockett too, but I will say I had that raccoon hat as well.
Didn't wear it out, but it was very comfortable to wear.
It was more around the house.
Yeah, nice hat.
So Indy, I did not see, I will say this, Bob, when you sent me that quote, Harrison Ford giving any kind of praise to anybody for one of his roles is like gold.
That was the next thing I was going to bring up is Harrison Ford has forever said over
my dead body. Nobody will play Indiana Jones except me. This is the one character. I don't
want recast ever whatever. They just made an Indiana Jones video game where Troy Baker
did Indy's voice and
motion capture, not Harrison Ford. Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford came out yesterday,
said you don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for
Nichols and Dimes with good ideas and talent. Troy Baker did a brilliant job and he didn't
need any AI to do it. People are saying this game, Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle,
the search for the Golden Circle, something like that, is basically like an indie movie.
They're like, it's as good as some of the early indie movies. It gives you the feeling
the early indie movies give you. When it comes out on PS5, I'll definitely be doing streams.
I'll play through the whole game. I'll put out videos. I'll dress up as indie, like the
fucking nerd from Clem's Bus. It'll be fun. I can't wait to play it after hearing Harrison Ford
actually be like, yeah, he was amazing as Indiana Jones.
And he came out of the video game awards to talk about it.
Like they got Harrison Ford out of the house
to the video game awards to talk about this.
It must be awesome.
They definitely just like took advantage
of a confused old man.
I think Harrison started to lose a little bit.
Harrison, we're going to the Oscars.
All right. Yeah. Game awards. Rob, did you know that there's an Indiana Jones ride in
Disneyland, the California one? So yes, and it's like a mineshaft type ride, which is
really cool. I think I might have went on that actually. And they do the stunt show
in Disney World. And I actually wanted to like do the stunt show on the Disney Boys
trip. But Jeff had his laminated sheet of the 15 things we needed to do by the minute and he was like yeah
We don't have time for the stunt show. Sorry, Robbie
You're waiting like 20 minutes to get in there and then it's like yeah, you would have completely ruined his laugh
It's also funny videos
I don't mean to laugh but there's funny videos of the stunt show where the guy does not outrun the ball and the ball
Runs this guy over
run the ball and the ball runs this guy over. It's incredible. It is funny. Yeah. I think there's one where the ball like falls off the track. It starts bouncing towards the audience.
He screams. It's really funny. I hope that's one of those things that stays in Disney. It's
one of those things that I could see like Muppet Vision 3D getting taken away in the next five
years. Then being like, yeah, we're going to make space for incanto land here But I don't know I think the the charm of Indiana Jones being old-school Disney is such a great thing
I love Indiana Jones. I think Tommy coming out as Indiana Jones fans might have just bought another five years at the very least
Yeah, smokes is in on it. They got to keep it up. Yeah
All right. That was it for my mom's basement today. Tommy,
thank you for joining us an
entire episode with the White
Whale. What a what a great time
