Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by Barstool Sports and a very special free swim tank top edition of My Mom's Basement. It's the summer, we're showing the guns, we're getting into it, it's the summer spirit. It's June 26th as we're putting this out. We're recording it on June 25th, the day before the Dozen Championship in Boston, which has the potential to be another basement bowl, Clem. How we doing? Oh god, I didn't think about a basement bowl potential. I'm feeling good. My daughter just asked me before what was the best chance of

happening if I had a chance to win? Who like the favorites or the odds and I said uh that's not the favorite I think that's fair to say the experts and I actually have you guys a second favorite in my head okay but I'd say ZD and the ponies the ponies just have the energy they're the team nobody wants to face and ZD is the defending champ which I think gives us like a little and we have a very used to live shows so I feel like that gives us some sort of a leg up, but I've seen the odds out there. I've seen with a long shot, so I'll take it what it is. I like it.

People forget, technically the very first dozen championship was a basement bowl. It wound up being a basement bowl because you guys got wronged. So Dave basically like demanded to cash in the money in the bank after the championship and play us for it. That was kind of a funny like wrinkle. People want to go back and watch that. It was a very funny game. I remember there being like a lot of back and forth at the beginning.

I was calling Dave Putin for forcing his way into the match. It was like a ridiculous scenario, but it's good stuff in the dozen history. Doesn go forgotten by me the basement bowl is always legendary in these parts that was It's happened. It definitely happened. I know what happened with the Duncan stuff the Duncan Awards once but that was when Jeff is down in the paint one-on-one with Dave and Dave's backing him down And I'm just and the funny thing was I think was a Yukon question that dating correctly said we were wrong about Which I kind of changed the game and there was, you have to basically give us a do over. The whole tournament had happened by that point. So we got Daniel LaRusso automatically to the championship, championship I called it,

where you guys had already won. They had to face us till Hammer Home, your championship, which of course you guys did. So yeah, there was a lot of good memories in the dozen, a lot of good stuff. Dozen Week was fun again in Chicago. And it's always exciting to see what you know, my captain, your captain, the captains and Jeff have always had very interesting relationships. Yeah, so if you're listening to this on release day, June 26th, tune in tonight.

It's the championship live in Boston and me and Clem are doing the like after party. If you're in Boston, come on through. It's going to be a fun time very excited for that that's kind of just basement keeping right up front also speaking of basement keeping if you're a wrestling fan I have a must listen to interview for everyone that I did yesterday it's gonna be out by the time this podcast comes out Matt and Jeff Hardy the Hardy boys in the basement in person. They announced their match for slam anniversary this summer at UBS Arena. It's gonna be awesome. I can't wait for that as well.

But go check out the interview. That was bucket list material, especially since I drafted them number one in the tag team draft that we did. That was, I didn't even know you were, you were usually like, by the way, I got this, I got Kevin Smith, right? He had recently had all these things. That one just came to me when it did everyone else on Twitter and I'm like, look, by the way, I got this. I got Kevin Smith, right? He had recently had all these things. That one just came to me when it did everyone else on Twitter. And I'm like, look at my guy, Bob.

So shout out to the Hardys. When it's all said and done, I think the Dudleys might have the move that everyone remembers. I think the ball knowers, the wrestling, the grapple, the grap snowers, they might say, Edge and Christian were the team. But I think the Hardys are the number one tag team of that era.

Yeah, they were the coolest. Come on, even the Swanton Bomb, like you're right. You have the 3D, the tag finisher. Everyone knows. Everyone knows the Swanton Bomb. Just a fucking wha-wha-wha. And you gotta give fucking bonus points for Lita and the Thong. That was...

Oh, yeah. Lita had sexy in a much more subtle way than some of the other women had sexy during the diva era there in the beginning. And then it got not so subtle. They did the live sex celebration on TV and whatnot. I missed that one. That was after I had left. Lita's sex appeal subtle is very funny considering what came afterwards. Yeah. Also, I wanted to recommend people check out last week's episode with T-Bob. If you missed out on that, it's an evergreen episode. We talked a little bit of news at the end, but it's pretty much just about being a nerd

and the passions of a nerd and maybe passions that we don't always cover on this podcast. Different video games than we talked about. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Dungeons and Dragons, stuff like that. I thought it was a great episode. It did well on YouTube. I know people liked it based on my DMs and mentions after the episode dropped. So go check that out if you missed it.

It was pretty cool too because we don't do this with everyone because we don't really need, I don't know if you need to, but we kind of like get into kind of Tommy with his Superman stuff. I'm sure whenever we have come around, we'll go into it. But like the nerd origin story,

like Chee-Bop could tell you the minute he became a rings guy and you know, the games that changed his life as a gamer and this and that. And he is one of us, one of us for sure, man. He could lead the fucking charge at this point, man. He has really good stuff. And I wound up doing Moot Can't Sleep with him like two nights after we recorded that podcast.

He wasn't even like prepping to do Mukan Sleep. He said he was in the bathroom. Ken Jack went to the bathroom during the stream and was like, oh, you should pop in. T-Bob wound up doing like five hours with us. He wound up going even later than I stayed on Mukan Sleep. Just a delight. I loved chopping it up with him, hearing his old stories about his old man in the NFL, the Cajun Cannon.

Definitely a great addition to the pirate ship. So check out the T-Bob episode. I also, as I'm doing this episode, I feel like the tank top episode right after I got the new tattoo, it feels like I'm trying to show off the new tattoo. I swear I'm not, it was suggested by Clem, but I got India on the sleeve.

It's gross and scabby now. It's like in that weird tattoo process. But shout out Trig, who does a lot of artwork for Barstool. I had him take a design, kind of make it his own. Shout out my tattoo artist, Jay Hernandez in Carlstad, New Jersey. I was happy to get another kind of basement related tattoo, another pop culture icon, Indiana Jones.

And I didn't want to just get Harrison Ford's face, especially because it's like hard to nail that. Yeah. I said, fuck it. We got Indy with the skull wrapped with a snake. It's that's awesome. Trigg is the fucking God. He knows that we love him on the pod. Um, he is so fucking good at what he does. And I said, let's do tanked up because it's been by the time people hear this the heat will have finally left but we have been sweltering here in the Northeast I think all of America basically the last few days we bitched them on about cold it was and how rainy and then got the guys are like alright well now you're gonna sweat your balls off so I said let's

just throw the tank tops on I've been wearing this stone cold tank top the few days it has been nice out because it was five bucks on Old Navy. Look at the back Bob I don't know. You got the the smoking skull on the back. Oh you've got Stone Cold himself on the back. If you're not watching on YouTube you got to tune in on YouTube to see the shirt. Yeah you just go on Old Navy it was like five bucks I don't want to be promoting a rival store but this is like my white trash embrace being an old dad move. I just wear this around the house. We don't wear it out.

We wear it on the internet, on YouTube, where thousands of people can see it, but we don't really bring this one to town. We'll just say that. Yeah, yeah. I'm not a tank top in public guy, usually. I get to beach fine, but yeah, I'm not trying to show off the frigging guns everywhere I go.

He get people, the cops call me for those kinds of guns. I'm happy Bob got to show up the new tattoo That was a nice little happy accident here. We got it This weekend by the way speaking of the heat Jack Mack and big ev are headed out to Las Vegas for UFC I will be in Lake Placid shooting some stuff for mascots and obviously I've got the dozen championship coming up tomorrow But look out for spinning back content, potentially some interviews from them. I'm happy to like have them there, have me here.

It feels like we have like the Spin and Backfist team, the coverages across the full team, which I love. So look out for that. It's a big fight weekend, Clem. It's International Fight Week, they call it in the UFC. I know you and Jose always talk International Fight Week, and I didn't know if that was like a serious thing or just like an industry term or whatever.

It's kind of a WrestleMania like for a long time. It was the WrestleMania. Now it kind of feels to me like MSG is their WrestleMania, which is every November. Um, but International Fight Week you could say is their summer slam. It's like a huge, huge card. So I'm looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to being with the Mascots crew in a Lake Blast on Saturday cause I'll definitely try to convince everyone to watch the fights and it's there's nothing better than having a big crew to watch the fights around also the only other basement keeping thing I had on here about nine days away from seeing

Oasis and Wales so just if I go off there the reservation for you know a couple days and people are like where the the hell is Bob? He's partying with the Gallagers and whales. That's where I am. On 4th of July, no less. Got our independence from the Brits. Bob went all the way down out there to see two Brits singing to a microphone for a couple of hours. They probably don't even use ours. They probably have a metric system for that too, at this point. Honestly, it's crazy. It feels like I'm going to WrestleMania. They're saying that there's going to be like 100,000 people that don't even have tickets

that are traveling to Cardiff because they just want to be in the city at the same time. There's an Oasis fan store. So you don't, there's not like, you sure you could try to get merged at the concert itself. No one wants to miss anything. So they have a store like the WrestleMania Superstore and you have to reserve a time to get in. So I like reserve the time for me and Nate to friggin get into the fan store the morning of the show. It's a whole friggin thing but I'm very very excited. Is Oasis overrated at this point? Don't you say that.

Bob before we came on I saw I had a Instagram notification I saw you put my, it should be the Emperor Saga instead of the Skywalker Saga. So I was like, maybe I gotta start, you know, digging Robin the ribs a little bit here, give him some jabs. So that was my first jab at you right there. But I didn't realize Oasis had that kind of, I guess you have to be like super talented

and break up and be super temperamental and then break up for years and years and years. It's stars aligning. Yeah, it's a couple of different things all falling into place for it to happen like this. That Instagram reel is funny. I was told try out some trial reels. So it's a new thing Instagram does where you can upload a reel and it doesn't go to your followers. It goes to like everyone else and you can see how reels do. So I said, fuck it. I'll start uploading old videos and just see what happens. So I threw up the Tofer Grace Star Wars one,

which is always a hit immediately, like millions of views. So I was like, all right, let me continue to try to do this. So I uploaded a take where Clem said, this is the Emperor Saga, not the Skywalker Saga, and Luke Skywalker's a bum. So I uploaded it and I said, last Jedi hater makes fanboy crash out over Luke Skywalker. Like I'm trying to really click bait the people

and to listen to the podcast. That's what we need the basement boys and girls for though. Just tell your friends about the podcast. So we could do word of mouth growing instead of my stupid click bait headlines. I kind of loved it too, cause it was all, it was the buzzwords. It was the modern day stuff stuff the slang all of it Just in one little type form. We just needed I mean the YouTube thumbnail you wouldn't use on Instagram

But the internet is a fucking fascinating place man. It's changing every single day And let's tell the people about one of the best parts of the internet. That is game time It's the absolute best spot to absol tickets to anything, sport shows, comedy, whatever y have tickets to. I'm hav summer. I went to Fenway gave me the itch.

What time is it? Game Time. We love Game Time. Great stuff via Game Time. All right. We've got some news to talk about today. First thing that I wanted to point out as we record this, The Bear Season 4 premieres tonight.

We're huge fans of The Bear on this podcast. I'm very excited for season four I kind of agree with what we talked to T Bob about I think where we want sequential episodes like I would have preferred them to put out one episode a week or maybe a three episode drop at the front and then You go week by week because it's gonna be that weird. Like I'm going away till Sunday, you know starting tomorrow I'm gonna be behind immediately and then people say, well, how far are you? It's weird. Um, but obviously we're excited about it. And I thought this could be a decent opportunity for you to tell the people

about your trip to the beef spot that inspired the bear. Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Beef in Chicago, North. Oh, I forgot the name of the street. You can look it up, Mr. Beef.

Uh, and the person who owns Mr. Beef, or the guy who started it, his son was best friends with the creator of the beef, of Mr. The Bear. And he was like, hey, I want to make a show that is obviously loosely based on it. The guy doesn't become a five-star chef, Michelin chef that wants to make a crazy new restaurant. And I'll tell you, I've only had a few beefs in Chicago and this might have been my favorite

beef I've had. It was delicious. It was tasty. The guy who was working the register, I don't know if it's supposed to be Richie, doesn't look like Richie. He was like a shorter guy, bald, a lot of tats. But man, he is just a good vibe, just very a person a people person if you may and a couple just like quiet guys just doing the beef just cooking everything and

then there's like the next room which is just one long picnic table everyone sits together cleaner than it is in the beat in the in the bear but still just like pretty nondescript and I don't know, man. It was good food, not gonna break the bank and everyone, you just left feeling pretty good about yourself and I I loved it. It

got me really excited for the show. I I think I said after I think we're all in agreement. Three was the weakest season when it's all said and done. I think two was the number. It was the best season but if after rewatch

after watching three, I rewatched one and two and I think it does tie the whole story together. And then I hope by the end, it'll also set up for and then four will give us like whatever ending we're going to get. And it all makes sense altogether. I do agree with you, Bob, even if they did an indoor release, which I think, you know, some streamers may start doing where it's like this week you get two, next week you get three, where maybe the stories go together more instead of just going either one a week or the whole shebang. I think there is a TV shows out there that could work like that and The Bear might be one of them, right? Would you say?

Yeah, I think it could be definitely. It's like there are, like season three was interesting because it kind of felt like every episode was its own but there are arcs in the bear that span a couple episodes that could work in that similar release schedule way. Like Ironheart's doing it. I don't know if Ironheart's doing it for the same reason but it's like they did three episodes one week, three episodes the next week

and it's just like done like that. And I think that's kind of like a smart, we didn't know how to feel about going into Andorra, but at this point, I kind of think that is the smart way to release it. All at once is weird. Still, I can't believe like Stranger Things isn't changing it up.

Maybe they just want to stick with what they did best. The bear, I can't believe they're not changing it up. It's kind of strange. Yeah, the bear, as I, like, I think a lot of the things that people hated about season three, I think they would have loathed about season three if it was once a week where it's like nothing's happening This is just one person's episode then you get to Tina episode You're like that shit was fucking awesome. You could be happy with that

But then I think there are a bunch for you like all right. I got to get like a little more here So I'll I'll get another half hour or whatever it may be So I do think the bear is tricky words I don't think it's a all at once and I don't think it's a once a week It's probably more of an hand or in the middle But it'll be I'm excited though. I'm going in with pretty good expectations. I don't know I feel like everyone just I feel like the internet is what it is these days Everyone just pitch in a moment and I know I can be negative about certain products for sure

But it's like oh my god the bear was nominated for comedy instead of drama who gives a fuck The NBA ratings weren't good The NBA was fucking awesome this playoffs who cares how many people like a rest of development at band ratings It's one of the best comedies ever Friday night lights everyone the Friday nights No one's like oh man I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like trying to caffeine up for the day. So I'm gonna try to get off the cranky cloud and I'll let Bob go from there. Will you set up a great transition to our next topic because you mentioned Tina, and Tina will not be the only actress or actor

from The Bear joining Tom Holland in Spider-Man Brand New Day. Jon Bernthal will also be in Spider-Man Brand New Day as the Punisher, Frank Castle. They helped each other prepare famously for their respective roles as Peter Parker and Frank Castle while they were on the set of a movie called Pilgrimage in like 2015, 2016 or something.

They were reading each other's lines back and forth, like good luck in your audition, good luck in your audition. So very cool full circle moment. They also just filmed the Odyssey together with Christopher Nolan. Part of me wonders, like, did they push for this? Did Tom Holland say like, hey, I would love to like have Bernthal in the movie, I'm a big fan of him.

There's pictures of Tom Holland over the years wearing Punisher t-shirts. I think this is great. I also think it opens that door obviously for maybe a little more Matt Murdock. We got a little tease of him in No Way Home. Maybe we even get Wilson Fisk. I know Vincent D'Onofrio said that it was tied up in some kind of rights issues.

They've always ironed out those rights issues so far. You know, we hear every couple years that we're never going to get Tom Holland in the MCU again. Sony's taking their ball and going home. They're taking their Spider-Man and going home. But they always iron them out. the game. They're going to see you again. Sony's taking their ball and going home. They're taking their Spider Man and going home but they always iron them out. So, this gives me hope that hey, maybe we get everything in the MCU

New York City world tied together like that would be awesome and isn't Kingpin could they iron it out because Sony's the one who's holding them back, right? Cuz he's not allowed to move. I think so. So, it would help Sony in the

end. Yeah. Uh I don't think, Burnthorne and the Strigmas are the kind of guys like, oh, Tom, let me get some of that Marvel money. Or maybe they just were drunk on set after shooting one day. And they're like, yo, man, let's just get you some Sony money. These guys know what they're doing. We'll get you in there. The nerds will love it.

They'll get you out, which I mean, I keep down about it. You keep down about it. So that was like a fucking hell. We love the Punisher. We love Burnthorne which I mean I keep doubt about it. You can get it. So that was like a fuck Yeah, like we love the Punisher. We love burnfall. I love him in the bear too. Whenever he shows up in the bear I'm definitely definitely excited about it. So feels like a win Murdoch would be a win Fisk anything just like Getting those characters like now that we're getting all these characters and like the blitz is gonna be blown off when we get our X-Men And everything like let's just get it Ironheart just give it

all these shows, especially the ones that maybe don't have like the big lead or the the established character. Let's just load it up. It just makes it feel like much more of a world that's living and breathing than just like non-descript character B gets killed by non-descript character C and now we have to fight that guy like I don't know I just think that that we can go in a better direction in this hopefully will be now This is he's not gonna call him red right? What does he call him?

red and blue it might be Yeah, like and I've seen so many good memes of like Spider-man's face after the Punisher brutally blows someone's face to shreds, like he's gonna do some gore-ance, like Spider-Man's gonna be like, what the fuck is going on? And I can't wait for that dynamic. Also, I wanted to point out, it's 10 years of Tom Holland as Spider-Man this week.

I just saw the anniversary. And there was a lot of fucking slander. It was a lot of people being like, and he hasn't even been in one real movie, the only Spider-Man to not be in one film. Like people shit on the fucking Tom Holland Spider-Man movies still in this weird, weird revisionist history way. Because every time one of his movies comes out, whether it be even a movie he appears in like Civil War, or whether it be Homecoming, Far From Home, No Way Home. Everyone loves it when it comes out and then they turn on it for some reason and they're like, oh, it's not even a real movie. It's fucking fake.

It's Marvel schlock pigs eating the slop. These are great movies and he is great as Spider-Man. And I am not afraid to say that I am a Tom Holland, Spider-Man defender. I can't believe he even needs defenders. Do you think it's in DIA? And do you think that's where this maybe it's from? I don't I don't blame my. I'd be envious. I'm happy for them though. I'm happy for the kid. I I was on the dozen or not the dozen in the bracket and

there was the Tom's bracket and I was I was riding for my guy. I was riding for Holland. It's strange, strange hate and I don't get it at all. Like they're great movies. He's fucking great as Peter Parker. I don't get it at all. Like they're great movies. He's fucking great as Peter Parker. I don't know where it comes from. I shouldn't even give him the time of day. He's my favorite Peter Parker in the sense that he's my favorite like a Peter Parker.

Yeah. Tobey Maguire felt a little older and tall, I guess for Peter Parker. Peter Parker could be taught, I don't know, but I'm just saying. He was older for sure. And like you could see Toby was like, he wasn't't high schooler at any point in that franchise. At least you could buy it with Holland. Yes. And then. Andrew Garfield was maybe too cool.

And that's the thing. Garfield also, he's kind of just the forgotten Parker at this point, I feel. Yeah. I feel like everyone kind of were like done with him. So it's like, what? We're just going to say that, like, unless you're just saying Toby is the guy Like I always thought Tom Holland was either the one or two in terms of people's minds But yeah, again if we're gonna be can't a lot of nostalgia Plays into it as well like people with nostalgia for the Andrew Garfield movies that are a little younger than me But like it's weird and I don't hate Andrew Garfield by any means like he's a great spider-man when he's in no way home You could see that he's like steals the show But the movies like to have nostalgia for those fucking movies, especially the second piece of shit

craziness Andrew Garfield wants to get on defend himself. He could wear a tank top and come on the basement Confirmed New fantastic 4 trailer we got this morning and it's awesome This is like a really great trailer part of me says why did we get this trailer is there anyone that wasn't sold on the movie already like i was sold on the movie a long time ago i think everyone else was as well um so we did see a little bit where i'm like oh we didn't need to see all of that there was a lot that made me excited

though they're treating it's clobbering time like it's avengers assemble They're like say it say I don't really say it that's in the cartoon Why don't you say what time is it? It's dinner time. Like that stuff is really funny We see at one point the thing with a rock beard, which I was like, hell, yeah I don't know what's going on with that. Yeah, the rock beard And then the scene where we see the Silver Surfer come down and say, I'm heralding Galactus. I have such a soft spot. It's like one of my favorite things in these superhero movies when the villain comes down to earth or even in any kind of like alien movie, villain comes down to earth and like

warns earth like you're about to be fucked. I love those scenes. It's my favorite part of Man of Steel when Michael Shannon as General Zod gives that speech to Earth and he's like, we're coming for Superman. You can't defend him any longer. So I think this looks great. I didn't need to see any of it. I've been sold on the movie for a long time,

but God, I'm excited for it. Yeah, like there was a part of me that was like, don't know, and so I liked it. There was like a part of me that was like, I don't know if I needed to see all that. It's like the new naked gun where you're like am I getting the whole movie right now and we've gotten a few fantastic fours already the clobbering time thing maybe it's not going to be as much a part of the movie as you thought or maybe it's still going to hit but like that's

something I would have liked to have seen in the theater and go along with the joke if that's even as I learned with it uh rogue one there's plenty of stuff that you can cut along the way that they're like, hey, let's just get this out there now and it's not gonna be used in the actual movie. So I, but I'm excited. The G-Man was kind of the thing I walked away from, like I cannot wait till Big G comes down and- I know, I like that they didn't,

like they haven't revealed him. They've given us like his foot or like a sliver of his eyes through a window Them saving the full reveal also when you said the G man I got to be completely honest my mind went straight to Michael G. Achino who's doing the score because the fantastic for That score rocks Ken Jack responded to my tweet this morning. It was the first thing he said I mean Michael G.chino is the fucking man He's done look up his IMDB every good movie in the last like 10 years is either Hans Zimmer Ludwig Gornson

Obviously John Williams, but less so recently or it's Michael Giacchino. He's doing everything. He did the Batman He bounces over from Marvel to DC. He fucking directed werewolf by night So shout out to Michael Giacchino. Because yeah, we even got the I love Johnny's doing the four in the sky with the flame. That was great. The clobbering time thing, I kind of agree that it would have been nice to save all of those teases for the movie itself opening night for us to find out that that's how they're going to treat it. But as part of Marvel being like, we're going to get our own chicken jockey. As soon as he says it, we'll have him going nuts.

We got to prep them for it. We got to let them know, you're looking forward to it opening night. Imagine if they edged us like Avengers Assemble though. Like we always thought we were, we all thought we were getting it in 2012. They're like, you'll get it in fucking 2032. Yeah, do you think they already have like the t-shirts

printed and like, we're going to sell so many like it's a merch thing that they're just trying to do. It's probably Disney strategy here. Like and honestly, it could be in universe merch. Like if he says it in the Fantastic Four show,

like he says in the trailer, like in universe merch would be kind of cool. That definitely they could definitely do some cool stuff. I do think that universe I think they're also teasing a lot because I do think they're going to move on

from that universe and they can kind of it is what it is. And what happens to the Fantastic Four will be what we talk about instead of, you know, what happened to what happens or what's going to happen. So I think that could work. But I also like Sue Storm, she's all about the family. We're getting this family line has become

the fucking keystone of this entire series, at least based on the trailers. A lot of baby, a lot of baby. We learned that this is an important baby. He's uh, who is he? What's the Jack Jack? He's our little Jack Jack. So I'm excited to see how that all goes as well as someone that learned a little bit of knowledge from Jose. I know I think I'm as excited for this as I am Superman. I think though the levels are really like neck and neck for maybe Superman has the edge a little bit because there's still so

Much like unknown it feels like such a new world. We're stepping into but Marvel saved the fucking heavy hitter It's like if we're playing fucking cards. They were saving the big one for when DC had something big to offer in return Yeah, that's a good question. So Superman has gun attached which I you, that kind of gives me a little of an edge. Fantastic Four, then like Superman, all things considered is obviously the bigger character. He's an American institution on his own, but Fantastic Four is no slouch.

And for what they are to Marvel, to finally get into the MCU, I don't know, Bob. I honestly don't know which one I have higher right now. I mean obviously my guy Superman and all diehard Superman guy. And obviously you're stoked for Jurassic World as well. That's up there for you too. I see those goddamn commercials and I'm like this fucking asshole is going to make me see this movie and I'm going to probably be so mad by like 35 mark is I think when I'm going to start getting mad at you.

Well, I don't know. It's getting pretty good reviews. It's getting pretty good reviews. People are kind of liking this one. So I'm excited. I'll have to see it after I get back from Wales. So I'll probably wind up seeing it on like the sixth or the seventh and we can do a recap afterwards.

If I don't like it. the sixth through the seventh and we can do a recap afterwards. If I don't like it and again the reviews that helps because I was I I forgot I said I did say like if the reviews are good, I'll I'll definitely probably give it a shot. I'll probably take the

kids **** it. It's not like it's it's going to be like a PG thirteen typical dress. Yeah. My wife think it'll be maybe a little scarier because it's like the deformed weird alien looking ones. Yeah, that's true. I don't know. The regular dinosaurs are pretty fucking scary as is. My wife showed them the first turn part like two or three years ago. Like AJ was like five and I'm like, he'll be fine. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. I might be a little scared. He'll be rooting for the dinosaurs knowing him. He all big time buddy. This guy just keeps

asking me Darth Vader questions left and right and about the emperor he is obsessed with the sith now coming into the mix. The so if I get burnt by this though I know exactly what I'm gonna say I can't believe I saw a Jurassic Park movie that was suggested to me by a Raptor guy. You're a Raptor guy and Raptor guys and it doesn't seem like we're getting Raptors in this one. I don't know like well I'm sure we'll get a fucking Raptor at some point, right? Cuz they're like, you know 1a 1b type dinosaur with T-Rex Haha, it seems it seems like it's just T-Rexes and fucking mutants that was that place. They're like

Marbles going you and we're going with me although now that I'm thinking about it Maybe there was a mutant Raptor that had like super weirdly long arms I feel like there was something like that was a fucking Slenderman Raptor. They can't help themselves They're gonna hit the Raptor button at least once for yeah They will pocket of people that think that there might even open another door. They love that the fucking What's what the Raptor open the door and then when they did the reboot with the weird girl and the dollhouse and stuff I think the Raptor open like the window You like unlock? Alright, we get it.

Yeah, yeah. A lot of Raptors don't use keys now, what the fuck? This one's gonna have a Raptor using a key card. It's gonna go beep! He's got opposable thumbs. Oh, Raptors. So the next thing, not necessarily a news item, but a show we could kinda talk about. Ironheart had its three episode premiere on Disney Plus last night. It's grand opening, grand closing.

Next week is its three episode finale. So it's real quick. I watched the three episode premiere. I watched two episodes last night. I watched one episode today. I don't love it. If I'm being honest, I thought all three episodes kind of dragged and had moments that had me looking at the time or looking at my phone being like, Oh my God, we're 15 minutes

in and nothing has really happened. I like the girl that plays Riri Williams. I think that was good casting and I think she could work very well when used in something like Wakanda Forever. In this, there's something about it that it just doesn't feel like a superhero show. There's a very little, like there's a couple action scenes here and there. There's a cool scene where she fucking, she gets expelled from school and like the opening scene takes her iron suit, her iron heart suit, because it was like, I used my grant

money on that. So it's mine. She flies at sea in Chicago in the MCU is awesome. We don't have any MCU projects that are set in modern Chicago. So it's very cool and the suit looks dope. I like seeing her fly around. And then they go into this weird kind of AI storyline

that I don't love the villain, or at least who I assume is gonna be the villain, Anthony Ramos playing the hood. Looks completely ridiculous wearing this like magic cloak. And it's almost never acknowledged. It is like at one point in episode three, but nobody's like, hey, this fucking guy looks stupid and not like the rest of us is going on.

So there's like a few things and it's not horrible. It really isn't horrible. It just doesn't feel super MCU-y. It doesn't feel like a Marvel show. Feels like maybe a teen young adult show, CW, not CW in terms of low budget, but in terms of plot line itself. Eric Andre is in it, which is weird.

I didn't know Eric Andre was here. He's in a very small, brief role, but he's in it. There's rumors about episodes four through six that I think are true that I'm intrigued and excited about. They even set something up in episode three where I was like oh shit that's super interesting and I'm like all right so it's not horrible it's just it's not great it's not super entertaining it doesn't like grip you. I'll be honest I was gonna try to just get ahead of it and watch like at least two of them but I thought it came out today on Wednesday. So I thought it was coming out tonight,

which again, the fact is thing came out yesterday. You were, you've been saying it for like a month and you're like, it's a month until I, you know, then you're like, dude, I don't know what comes out next week when we were in Chicago. And then you were like, yo, I don't know. It comes up tomorrow. And I'm like, but it's just like every time it would surprise me. I would be like, I can't believe this. Fuck it. But it comes out tomorrow. Nobody's talking about it. It does feel like it's swept under the rug in a like, hey, this isn't great It's not horrible. It's not great. We don't want any bad reviews or any Marvel's dead right before fantastic four

Yes, you don't criticize us and kill us online. We're not gonna shove it down your throats everywhere You look yeah and kill us online. We're not gonna shove it down your throats everywhere you look. Like I'm sure the original budget for the NBA playoffs was probably like 10 times that of commercials they were gonna run for ESPN and ABC and they're like let's just dial that back there. Make like seven more Fantastic Four trailers that we don't really need and this way everyone will be happy. Two things, one I saw the run times are like 40 to 50 minutes. Too long. Too long. Yup. We've said this for a while now. And two, um, the reviews, which again, I'm not going to go on the internet reviews.

You have the bombers and all the assholes out there. IMDB. I was going off of six five six one, I think five seven were the three I saw around there. I think that's accurate. That's about where I'd put it, which that's not going to make me. I'm not going to like hide from it, but it's not going to make me jump to it. Let me Can I spoil something for you and I'll bleep it out in the podcast, but just so they could get your reaction to it. Yes, because I think this is interesting and might actually

make you be like, maybe I'll check that out. All right. Spoilers, I'm covering my mouth so they can't even read my lip. Man, I'm covering my mouth so they can't even read my lips. I'll do that Episode 3, huh Okay Okay, it's not bad. It's like a bad. All right. That's something that's like Fits with the the whole show the lineage of the show like I was like hmm. All right cool., that's something. That's like fits with the the whole show, the lineage of the show. Like I was like, hmm, alright, cool. So that's Marvel. Yeah,

that's Marvel right there. Totally. Yeah. So I think episodes four through six like could be decent. I'm like, alright, maybe if they bring that in, like they start doing other things like with maybe some more like superhero vibes, maybe they could save it with the ending. So we'll see. I'll take that. I'll take that. Bob, I gotta go. I hope that was intriguing for the people. I like that too.

And they're gonna go back and they're gonna, you might get a couple of messages on the side or I guess they can watch it and find out for themselves. You do an ad, I just have to go get something real quick. Absolutely. I will tell everyone about New Amsterdam Vodka. Our friends over at New Amsterdam Vodka, the best vodka in the

business. And I was talking about International Fight Week with Clem a little bit earlier. They will be the sponsor of International Fight Week because they are the sponsor and the official vodka of the UFC, not only Barstool Sports. It's a champion vodka, as I tell you each and every week. You match it up against any other vodka and oh boy, it's a knockout for New Amsterdam. So whether you're catching the pay-per-view at your favorite bar this match it up against any oth a knockout for a new Amste catching the pay per view bar this weekend or hangi and thus talk about it. M

with your friends like me with the insanely smooth of their products, not ju Amsterdam, which has a n but the pink Whitney as w bang for your buck and t are going to be awesome. Obviously you've got the main event, Toporia versus Olivera.

We broke that down on Spin and Backfist. I like Olivera in the fight. A lot of people like Toporia. I think Olivera was plus 350 when we broke it down on Spin and Backfist. I don't know what the price right now is, but I'm riding with them. You give me Charles Olivera,

you give me DuBronx at plus 350 plus 300 plus 250 plus 200, I would take him. I'm taking DuBronx plus money also because I don't like Ilya Teporia. On the bright side, if Teporia does win that fight, let's say knock on wood, he knocks out Charles Oliveira, next could be Patti the Batty getting a title match. Patti the Batty versus Teporia, that would be scenes obviously me and Dave would Batty versus Toporia. That would be scenes. Obviously, me and Dave would have to go with that. That's one of those

like wherever in the world it was even if it was in Abu Dhabi, I might think about flying back across the country back in the country back across the **** world to go to that one. So, we'll see Patty the Batty Toporia could be

next. Clem, welcome back. We have busy day. Bob apologize for that. We have half days. Today was seen as moving up day in fifth grade. So, we had that and we'll be right back with preschools ever. I remember preschool being over, so absolute trip and congrats to all the graduates out there that are listening or parents or friends of the graduates. Awesome. So I have a wild, wild story out of DC. James Gunn has been doing a ton of interviews to promote Superman, obviously. He did a couple really good ones. There's a good one in Rolling Stone. I forget what the other outlet was, but it was another like really long piece where he gets into a ton of stuff. And he's not shy about answering like a lot of stuff. He's talking about difficulties with getting Batman into the DCU difficulties with the

Batman two, where he's like, get off fucking Matt Reeves is nuts. He'll fucking deliver a script, which is supposed to be delivered this month. They're supposed to start shooting that in January. So fingers crossed, we want the Batman too. And in one of them, he says, a really famous actor just pitched him a DC Elseworlds film idea. This is James Gunn's quote. I said, it depends how the screenplay comes out. If it's a masterpiece, I'll make it. He says he's still working on it, though.

He's still trying to do it. There are rumors that he's talking about Jeff Bridges, old man, Robin pitch which would feature Anthony Hopkins as the Joker and Sophia Vergara as Harley Quinn. It's not

confirmed by any means but it would be Jeff Bridges playing Robin Anthony Hopkins playing the Joker. Sophia Vergara as Harley Quinn. Clem thoughts. I'm going to you threw the horny side of it. I just thought, what's the most ridiculous three people I could come up with to say is in a movie that I could slide in past the basement boys and girls there?

The James Gunn thing is true, but the Jeff Bridges part is not true. So there is some, but we don't know the- There's a very famous actor with an Elseworlds pitch. Yeah. The Jeff Bridges thing, I was like, all right, let's get fucking weird with it. And who is the other one? Who is the other guy? I said Anthony Hopkins I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, and who is who is the other one? Who is the other guy? I said Anthony Hopkins. I think it was 1983 87 born on

New Year's Eve 1937. Oh, New Year's baby. That could be a dozen question tomorrow. This actor born on New Year's Eve of 1937. Yeah, excited for whatever that Elseworlds pitch could be. I mean, still, people have talked about before James

Gunn took over at DC, there was a JJ Abrams Superman that was gonna be an Elseworld Superman, not Kal-El, I don't think. It was gonna be Michael B. Jordan playing him. And there's something about that that I'm still very intrigued about. Like, listen, I love the James Gunn, David Cornsworth, like Superman that we're about to get. It looks awesome. But there's still part of me that's like, Michael B. Jordan Superman sounds kind of fucking sick. And it's a different Superman. It's like a Superman we've never seen. No Lois Lane, no Lex Lut though. It's like Michael B Jordan Superman. Sounds kind of fucking sick and it's a different Superman. It's like a Superman we've never seen. No Lois Lane, no Lex Luthor. It's completely like new shit. I don't know. I'd be in for that too. Dude, you want to know what's fucking scary? This

thing, Sofia Vergara's Harley Quinn. I click on it. It's an AI that created it and he, I guess, years ago and then second result's an AI that created it and he I guess someone created it years ago and then second result an AI that someone created third one like these are just this is just a bunch of hornies saying like you know who'd look good as Harley Quinn, Sofia Vergara and I'm gonna think that there was the most random name I could think of. I'll I think with the the fan base that shout out being mentioned they could make people drown if you don't. He addressed them too that was good.

Did he? He was like yeah he was like they were like oh it's getting review bombed or whatever and he's like that's fine he's like it's not gonna make that big a difference he actually said I would rather have our Rotten Tomatoes say 97% because of a few review bombers than 100% because people wouldn't take 100% seriously either. It's like, mmm, good way of looking at it. Our boy Jimmy Throes is nuts on the table sometimes and I do appreciate that about him. He also said that there's one project, the project that he's the most excited about in DC has yet to be unfailed and he said he's afraid to say anything about it or announce

it because it's too easily copied by other studios. I'm like, what the fuck could that even mean? Too easily copied by, like, he thinks Marvel could steal something because it's just an idea? Some people have brought up, is DC going to straight up, like, make a foreign film? Are they gonna make a movie in another language?

Are they gonna go make, I don't know, a fucking movie that I say the Godzilla minus one director does? And then put it out and when they're afraid Marvel might be able to steal that. Some people have suggested like a team up movie that's purely villains. And it's not like we're anti-heroes you're rooting for.

It's just like villains are teaming up. This is the story from the villain's perspective. I don't even know if that's like, like Suicide Squad is close enough where it's not like I'm going to keep this tight lip so nobody steals it. So I don't know what that could be, but I'm very excited to find out what it could be. Do you think, so we said Superman and Fantastic Four and the excitement level. Who do you think has more to lose here with these releases? Oh good good question. I think Superman because Fantastic Four, if it bombs, if people hate it, there are still going to be a lot of people probably us included that are like

all right let's still hope Doomsday and Secret Wars are good. I think if Superman fails people are out on James Gunn. People are like out on this universe. People are like Jesus Christ they screwed like, you know, doomsday and secret wars are good. I think if Superman fails, people are out on James Gunn. People are like out on this universe. People are like, Jesus Christ, they screwed it up again. Start over. People are just

gonna want another slate reset. Alright, no, I agree. I agree 100% with you. We'll be like, oh, well, they could now they have X-Men if Fantastic Four starts, right? Exactly. And then the Avengers stuff and you know, Spider-Man. There's padding. There's like almost like a safety net of X-Men.

Where it's like all right. It's fucked up too because James Gunn, Creature Commandos was good, Peacemaker was good, like he had Batman, the Batman was good. Yeah and like there will be more other stuff including some of those projects coming out in the near future and even with that it's like like you fucked up Superman. And I don't trust you until you get three projects in a row with thumbs up. Speaking of Peacemaker, John Cena gave such a funny political answer to a little boy at,

I think it was like Fanatics Fest. It was like, do you ever see yourself in the MCU? He's like, oh, it's a good question. And it's above my pay grade, you know, but I hope one day that we could all cross over. I would love to see Marvel and DC play in the same sandbox. So, you know, I'm already a DC hero and I could just walk on over as Peacemaker or whatever. And it was so down the middle, like John Cena knows how to handle PR and media and doesn't want to have headlines coming out of this. It made me laugh.

But like, sure, I would be down to see John Cena in the MCU. I know we talked about, like could Robert Pattinson play a Marvel hero? Is that too much? I don't think Peacemaker is like too much for Cena to show up. It would have to be different. You can't play a hero that's like Peacemaker, like comedic and funny and raunchy like that.

You'd have to go in a complete opposite direction. But like Cena as the fucking muscle, a bad guy's muscle in a Marvel movie or something like I could see that. A hundred percent. I'm with you on that. And I could live with whatever it is. Peacemaker is not that big, like you said. Yeah. This was a cool quote, but also one where it's like, maybe we got to start managing expectations. I don't know.

The Lanterns director James Hawes compares the series to true detective, Fargo and no country for old men. We already heard the true detective comparisons. Now he's throwing Fargo and no country for old men in there. He said it's a buddy cop movie and then somebody flies. It sounds awesome. Don't get me wrong. But like you were naming like the greatest things of all time. You're like, it's pretty much like that. It's like, I've never had this dish before, but it's basically pizza, chicken parm. It mixed with like filet mignon.

Like, you know, like ice cream Sunday with your favorite toppings on it. It's like, dude, come on, stop. Just stop. Whoa, yeah. Hold your horses there. Let's see a trailer. Let's see a teaser trailer even.

I wonder if we would, this is an interesting thing that James Gunn could do. What if we started seeing trailers for like HBO series before movies? That would be really cool. We saw something teasing lanterns before Superman. Is that like you're saying that's what they should do? Yeah, like that would be kind of like,

Marvel's never done that. And maybe it could actually help things. What if, you you know before Thunderbolts we saw a trailer for Iron Heart or here's the first two minutes of Iron Heart like a Disney Pixar short or something like that. Like for a crossover between TV and movies that'd be cool. I thought give James a call. James still hasn't responded to our invitation or multiple invitations to the basement. Maybe he needs to stand at this point. We're writing and he ain't calling. Yeah. At this point though, like you're coming up with legitimate ideas for the man. I think he'd be foolish to ignore us any longer.

I still think it's crazy that they only put like five I Am Groots on Disney Plus at a time. That should be the Marvel Disney Pixar short. Every Marvel movie should have a two minute I Am Groot's on Disney Plus at a time, that should be the Marvel Disney Pixar short. Every Marvel movie should have a two minute I am Groot before it. And that gets everyone in the mood of like, oh, here we fucking go. And you know what? My kids watch it, I watch it.

I'm sure my parents are in the room, they watch it, and everyone just walks away happy from it. Yeah, it's funny. There's some like humor where it's like, almost like the thumb joke in Guardians where it's like, it's not too cutesy. It's like, oh, that's fucking weird. That's crazy If you haven't seen I'm rude if you disregard it as just a stupid five-minute kid show go spend

I don't know 20 minutes watching the the two full seasons. It's funny There's some laughs in there and shame on you because like baby It's like the one thing that nobody's to like and shame on you I should have pointed at the screen as I did it like baby Yoda no one no one has like thank God that's how I know the Star Wars fan base is wasn't completely bankrupt when we were at our low point because no one's like ah fuck baby Yoda like nobody said everyone's like oh man that's all right you got me you got me back that's

pretty fucking awesome I didn't see one bad thing about Baby Yoda and Baby Groot is kind of like this tomato tomato for me. Yeah, Dave still, it's like me and Jeff D'Lo if we ever pissed Dave off, we could kind of turn him back to the light side of being like, but you see like Baby Grogu, you see that GIF like pretty fucking cute, huh? He's like, ah, yeah.

He also, we talked about Andor a little bit while we were in Chicago, me and Dave, because he was like, did you rewatch Rogue One right after you finished Andor? I was like, oh yeah, you know I did. He's like, didn't it make it so much better? I was like, fuck yeah, it did. Like he had the Andor Rogue One fever as well. And he was just pissed like the rest of us where he's like, I can't believe we can't get any more of that. He's like, I love that it took us right up to Rogue One, but I just want more. I was like, I fucking know Dave, you're speaking my language. You're in my world now, Portnoy. I all right, come and clear this

a trust tree, right? We're always in the trust tree in the basement. I don't know why I did this. And I'm very happy I didn't get the results I thought I could get. I put baby Yoda as Harley Quinn in to see if AI has created that before. First result is a short film where I believe she is saving Baby Yoda. It's Harley Quinn with Baby Yoda. And then the second, he has the Joker face paint on from- No, out on that. Don't like that at all. But there is none of him as Harley Quinn, which I truly do appreciate. The internet is not

completely morally bankrupt yet. Maybe instead of the hashtag for this week, just go to chat GBT or your local AI and send us a picture of baby Yoda as Harley Quinn. We don't want to see it, but it'll prove that you watched the episode to the 50 minute mark. And the final news story I have for us today is Star Wars related and it's kind of like two weeks old at this point, but we didn't talk about it with T Bob and I wanted to mention it on the podcast. An original print of Star Wars was screens for the first time in decades with Kathleen Kennedy in attendance about two weeks ago and she was in attendance. She said to make sure everyone knew it was not illegal.

She was like, this is official, I confirm Lucasfilm is authorizing this. And I thought it was very interesting timing for like right before the 50th anniversary in 2027 of A New Hope, they're starting to kind of dip their toes in the water and put out some feelers of how would people respond to an original print? Now the the word from the screening was that the original print looked like shit and they would need to do a lot of work

Cleaning it up I believe that because I know like there's the Despecialized version that someone made using like the blu-ray rip mixed with the laser disc rip mixed with like they did a couple mediums Together and made it look as good as possible But it requires a lot of work because the original print doesn't look great anymore. I really truly believe we will get the theatrical cut of A New Hope in theaters for the 50th anniversary.

And I would love to see it. It's one of those things where I think I've watched it, theatrical cut maybe once in my entire life. I think I like downloaded a bootleg one day from fucking some pirate site when I was in high school. And it's like, it's not it's just not the version of the movie that I know, I would love to see it. But the version I know is the 90 special edition one. So I'm excited about the potential.

And I also kind of want the holiday special to be released. I said to you, she should be able to just like, like a president on the last day, like sign an executive order or pardon or something for the holiday special. It's out there. I'm out. See you bitches. This is Kathleen. I saw people saying this is her Anakin arc where she's leaving herself at the very end and the original cut or whatever. He throws the special edition down the freaking exhaust port whatever. As I watched all that and then the Death Star explodes and then I'm like wait the Emperor came back and I know it's a clone or whatever the fuck it is I don't care anymore but I was just like

and then it just kind of just made me sat up I'm getting into it positive good thumbs up very cool I like that she was there for the reasons you said, you know It's legit. I watched that the ILM doc that yeah awesome. I'm halfway through but I watched all the Star Wars parts and I Went to go watch new hope and the on the streaming set I had It has the original theatrical version and I said, oh shit. This is perfect I get to see the way that they fucking these super nerds made it and I'll tell you man, like definitely like you see it's like the the lines are being colored outside a little which makes it even I think a little better. the kids, the adults even in going through their brains as they saw that actually go on the big screen. I love it.

I think this is, I feel like we're on a winning streak. Is it safe to say we're on a winning streak? I'm trying to think like I guess I saw did you see Skeleton Crew is going to return in another form? I saw that and then I saw right

right after that someone said Jude Laws, Noor, whatever his name was, Jedi Noor something, forget his name in the show, will appear in other projects and then someone posted, this is like, I feel like Charlie from Always Sunny Connect to the Dots, the new galaxy map which was included in the visual dictionary of the Acolyte puts their planet or maybe Ad Aten right next to Dathomir and people were saying oh shit if we're going to Dathomir at all for like uh soca level stuff with uh felonies movie maybe the kids will meet them there and maybe that was on purpose where the

planets are like right next to each other so i don't know but like i would be completely down for that skeleton crew was awesome i think teamBob said it best where he was like Skeleton Crew and Andor could not have been bigger opposites in tone and everything. And they were both exactly what we want out of Star Wars. Where it's like both great examples. Do more of that. That's all we're asking for. And again, you know, I don't think I'm't think I'm the face of the crazy anti Star Wars person I think I'm like the Like maybe one or two other on the other side of the chart where it's like I want it to be good There's like the people who are they are the Emperor their souls are pure black

There's good in me and these are the examples and I am one of the people Battlefront It will be on my TV in about 10 minutes and me and the little guy are gonna be playing for the first time since we found the second controller in our house. I love this **** It's just like we

skewed so far away from it. I'm so happy we're back. I'm not gonna say a winning streak. You know, like has to be three wins in a row for it to be a winning streak. I'll give him like the two games in a row. Yeah. Everyone's happy. Everyone feels good. It's like, all right, let's get three and then it's a real winning streak. And I'm, I don't even know what the, what's

the next project, Bob? Like do we even have a, you know, it's Mando and Grogu. Oh, the movie and that one, you talk about one that you hit that you're great. You flop. You're going to be like, Oh fuck. I don't even know if they really can flop, right? Like even Mando- They better not, man. At its worst season, Mando was still alright, you know? I thought it was alright. And it fucking saved Boba Fett. That's a show.

I think it's gonna be awesome. Like, I'm very, very excited about that. There was another fucking story that maybe the Rey movies on hold and then they said, no, it's not on hold. That, I'm not even gonna get into the Frustration that that could bring me a lot of people think now that Rey could be in the starfighter movie And I think that could be accurate as well. Although the early word about the starfighter movie It's like are they doing the fucking Mando plot again part

It kind of sounds like the plot of Mando It kind of sounds like it's Ryan Gosling has like a nephew who has might have the force and he has to like deliver his nephew away from or he bring his nephew away from like a Sith Lord of some sort or something. Or it's like, Oh, no, is it going to be he has to bring his force sensitive child to a Jedi kind of like the Mandalorian and could that be Jedi be Rey? Because people are saying it takes place five years after Rise of Skywalker. They're saying sequel trilogy characters could return. I don't know.

I could see that being the plot. Is there going to be a desert planet involved? Do we have to do that whole thing again? Let's hope not, man. I love it when you're like, I'm not ready for that kind of disappointment. Bob is just feeling himself. He's getting wins all along the sides. I get the tank top on.

I don't want to think about disappointment in a tank top. Dude, being disappointed in a tank top is one of the worst feelings in life. Yeah. It literally is like just brushed off your shoulders. Like, it should be illegal. It should be. There's nothing worse than

than it raining when you wore a tank top out. You're like, I wore a tank top out because I was anticipating sun all day. Now, I'm in the rain in the tank. I'm in the rain. Well, but ah **** I was gonna say I was gonna say at the beginning of this podcast, I don't care if it's you know, 70° at 60° cuz it's colder than it was when we recorded this. Throw a tanked up on just put

hashtag tank top episode. I guess at the end. Yeah, it's the tank top episode or make us that AI Harley Quinn thing or just draw a picture of it yourself, you know, old school. Thank you for listening. We will talk to you next week.

Probably we'll we'll record right before I head off to Wales, I would assume. Maybe we'll do a want to do a cross country podcast where you record as you're going over international waters. Record from the back of what airline you're flying out there. What do they have? Virgin? Delta. I'm pretty sure I'm flying Delta. Okay. Yeah. We'll see. I'm mad for it. I can't wait. We'll talk to you next week.
