Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. I think we can get into the Mandalorian episode. Like you said, it felt amazing. Like, I woke up, and immediately it was a kid on Christmas morning. Like, I ran to the kitchen, got my Baby Yoda cereal. It was 6 a.m.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I was like, this is great. People were tweeting me. They said, oh, my God, Bob, were you so high in that video? I actually wasn't. I'm dead sober the first time I watched The Mandalorian. I tell you, I have to be sober. It's like when I see bands that I love, I got to be sober to see them. When I watched The Mandalorian, I got to be sober to see this thing. And my God, I've seen it four times now. So I think I did live up to that promise I've made last week. I watched it three times on premiere day and one time on Saturday. So I hit the hat trick on the day it came out. I would say, and I think you texted me this and said the same. So we may be lined up here.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I think it's my favorite episode of The Mandalorian in the show's history. Yeah, I said that too. I said, cause I didn't want, when we talk on text, like I'm trying to save stuff for the episode. We haven't really talked much about it other than like, you know, thumbs up, thumbs down. I mean, obviously thumbs up. I'm trying to save stuff for the episode. We haven't really talked much about it other than thumbs up, thumbs down.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I mean, obviously, thumbs up. The same way. You can go to a galaxy far, far away for the second, third, fourth, you're three-chewing in. That's my thing. I'm going to have a three-chew. I do the gummy. I personally do the gummy.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I do half a gummy. I'm working my way back up, and I'm going to say, punch it, Chewy. You throw the gummy in your mouth like you're fucking hitting hyperspace. You're going to a galaxy far, far away. So I said that. I said my favorite episode, then i was like thinking back to the first season and like the first episode is obviously awesome and then obviously the reveal at the end of it the finale is great too but this one i don't know this just hit a lot of notes for me it it will as we'll get into it went a lot of ways that i you know i was like oh it's gonna go this way and it went it went a lot of ways that I, you know, I was like, Oh, it's going to go this way. And it went another way.
Starting point is 00:01:45 And I appreciated all that kind of stuff. There was just so many high marks that hit for me outside of obviously all the great action and stuff like that. And visuals along the way, it hit a lot of the smaller notes for me that, you know, I've been hitting some of the other star Wars content recently. So very, very, I mean, not even happy, thrilled. I'm thrilled that this is how we start the new season right now. And one of my favorite parts of Friday morning was getting a text from you
Starting point is 00:02:09 really early being like, Oh my God, loved Mando. And being like, Oh my God, you were able to watch it on Friday morning. And I think you said, yeah, as soon as I dropped the nerds off at school, I had to watch it. So yeah, that's the thing is I I'll wake up at like five 36 o'clock. Someone will run into my room and now daylight savings, God what's gonna happen in the next few weeks but um if i wake up like extra early i'm like i gotta get this in asap and i can finish it before those goddamn nerds come in my room and start bothering me then once once they're up i'm on the hook until they're all at school and that's like a three hour ride and in that time i have to avoid twitter just from the
Starting point is 00:02:43 off chance of a spoiler and stuff like that. So yeah, basically, you know how our job is. You always feel like you got to get stuff up on the blog and I'm sure people, you know, we have, we have a good right now. I'm sure a lot more people are working home this year than last year during Mando, but it's like, it's one of those things where you just kind of have to drop everything and just dive in. Cause like, God bless you guys who had to, you know, wait till the weekend to watch it and avoid spoilers or anything else along the way, potentially. It felt so goddamn good.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And another thing it did to me, I have this TV. I've had it for 15 years. It was like the first big purchase I ever made after college. I love it. The Mandalorian, I came to a realization. I upgraded my TV this weekend because it's just not doing it justice. It's just not doing it justice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Even like the menus on the PS4, I could tell they're like, just not, you know, sharp as they should be with like a better TV. So I just got a new TV at Costco. Nothing crazy. We didn't go nuts for it. It's just downstairs TV. But yeah, the Mando kind of, it's a lot of changes going on in my life right now. I love it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 You're like going from Mando episode one to Mando Beskar armor. You're like, listen, I just got to get a little better here. We got to upgrade. So let's get right into it. We opened the episode off. And by the way, they called it chapter nine. I thought it was kind of interesting. So we're calling this, you know, in the overall story of Mando,
Starting point is 00:03:59 we're going to just keep going through the chapters. I like that. We open on a shady planet, a lot of graffiti. It's nighttime. Kind of looked like Gotham City, but in Star Wars. That's like what I'm comparing this to. See some red eyes, right? They look creepy at first. We're going to call it Gotham Planet. We'll just call it Gotham Planet. Gotham Planet. So we start on Gotham Planet. Mando goes to see some fights, which immediately I felt like they reached through the screen. Jon Favreau grabbed me by the collar and he was like, listen, I just want to make sure you know you got my trust this whole season.
Starting point is 00:04:28 This is for you, Robbie. Mando gets led into fight. They're like, enjoy the fights. I was like, oh, my God. This is like he's going to the UFC. I said, I want to make shirts. GFC, Gamorian Fighting Championship. And he meets up with this guy, Gore Koresh.
Starting point is 00:04:41 He was voiced by John Leguizamo. And pretty much immediately, this guy tries to rob him of his beskar armor he says something like hey i'll bet you that that gamorrean wins i'll bet you your beskar armor and mando is meeting up with him to try to find more mandalorians right he's saying like i gotta return this foundling i gotta find another mandalorian so i could route a network through the coverts he shoots the the Gamorrean in the ring. He's about to win. He shoots him.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I said, even in space, boxing is corrupt. Teddy Atlas would be like, oh, my God, are you kidding me? This guy, he's cut the weight for this. He cut the weight for this fight. He's been training his whole life. He gets shot. Are you kidding me? He would be absolutely losing it.
Starting point is 00:05:20 But they try to rob Mando. That does not go well for them. We saw the clip in the trailer of baby yo hitting the little thing the whistling birds coming out clem you think they're overrated i think they're pretty fucking dope and he takes this whole room on it it very much reminded me of the first uh scene in season one he goes into a bar people think who is this guy we're gonna go mess him up and then he completely flips the script on him goes john wick and at the very end he kind of went batman he strung up that gore Koresh guy and he was like where's the Mando where is he
Starting point is 00:05:49 told him where he was he said he's on Tatooine so all the Star Wars fans immediately were like oh shit we're doing boba this episode we're getting right into it uh pretty cool intro yeah I as soon as I saw I was like oh we going to do the Bob Fox come picture here at this point. He's getting fighting and Star Wars at the same time. I love that planet right off the bat. I had it down as like the hood planet. I felt like I was in the hood. Gotham planet is a million times better.
Starting point is 00:06:15 We're going to stick with Gotham planet. This is the kind of things I'm talking about when I was saying like let's expand the universe. And again, when I heard Tatooine, I was like, all right, fucking Tatooine. But I was like, all right, this is the Boba episode so i'm i'm all down for that and i was happy about that side of things um and i actually wrote a note because like with this graffiti and stuff i'm like is that c-3po and i was like i would like it if if some of these places had like a subtle subtle remnants of the old star wars battles or something that had happened or maybe like you know if you ever go to endor or an Ewok planet
Starting point is 00:06:46 and they mention C-3PO and like these glowing lights because he's their god or something. Or because, what was it? In The Force Awakens when you see like the downed Star Destroyer. I thought that shit is cool as hell. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Yeah, I'm with you. Without having to bash the original trilogy or the nine, the trilogy trilogy over our heads, but still having like little breadcrumbs which obviously i'm sure we're gonna get to another one that came in later i love that side of it uh the as someone that doesn't you know i'm not obviously anywhere near your level or the lightsaber barcel guys in terms of hardcore nerd um like knowledge of this shit like all this stuff about the armor the arm i'm like shut the fuck up about the arm then i saw
Starting point is 00:07:23 the armor fuck people up more than mando so i'm like oh so the armor is like that so i like how they kind of like let you know how good armor is armor and like role-playing games it's always like all right just buy the nicest armor for no reason it's just a boring it's almost like eating your vegetables no armor is important and i like how they like focused on it there the frog splash was fucking awesome like they're doing a table i was chanting ecw um and like you said i loved having ruthless mando not only hanging upside down but he's shooting the light out to then get the little creatures with the light with the the glowing eyes those creatures with the glowing eyes i was saying i'd like to know what they look like i
Starting point is 00:07:59 think it's even better not knowing everything about it i want want a ruthless Mando. I want Mando basically like Creasy Bear from Man on Fire. And if something happens to that child, I think we're going to get Creasy Bear Mando at some point, which is scary, I think. If something happens to that child, you're going to get Creasy Bear Robbie Fox. He's going to be coming up to Disney offices. I mean, come on. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:22 We're in the basement. We're in the trust tree, right? I'm going to say something here that might upset you, i i'll let you know i i didn't do it i thought like a funny little tweet at 9 a.m would have been like oh omg i can't believe they killed i'm not gonna say who they you know our favorite character as in like the first scene oh i'm like a clear fake spoiler that would never be real that no one would believe and i was like those words don't even make relieve your lips yeah don't pump up that devil energy out into the universe exactly uh the only other note i had from this was i think at the end of this when he leaves the planet or something like that or when he's leaving the guy upside down i love i want more variation to the mando song it's like the slope
Starting point is 00:09:03 i think there was like a remix a little bit. I dug that a lot. So music is really good in this whole episode. Yes. It was really good. And I forgot how much I enjoy the Mando song. Cause it was so new to everything was so new to us last year. Now that it's the second season, it's like,
Starting point is 00:09:16 Oh fuck. This song is fucking good. And you know, any star Wars has its fair share of bangers in the bag already. You can throw this one. I mean, this might be, I don't know about top five, but it's definitely top ten for me as the Mando song.
Starting point is 00:09:33 And as time goes on, it becomes more and more beloved, right? Even think about the Avengers theme. When we first heard that, it was awesome, right? We were like, oh, this is awesome. But then when you hear it in Endgame, when it kicks in in Endgame, when it kicks in in Infinity War, it chills every time. You're like, this is amazing. As we get more familiar with the character, as it's tied more to him, we'll just probably love it more by happenstance.
Starting point is 00:09:51 He goes to Tatooine after the title sequence. We meet up with that Peli Moto, I think her name was. She was the babysitter of Baby Yoda during the Toro Calican episode. Immediately, I was like, oh, no, please don't leave the baby with this lady again. I don't want to do the cutaway. Here's baby Yoda. Here's your mission. Here's baby Yoda.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Just take the baby with you. Like, there's no way he would be leaving the baby with the babysitter at this point, knowing what he knows about how much everyone wants it, I feel like. So he goes to meet up with her. He wants to know where this bounty hunter is. He's saying, hey, you're the only person
Starting point is 00:10:22 I really know well on Tatooine. He allows the droids to use his ship, right so we see mandalorians get a little more progressive a little more accepting and she says oh i think there may be one on moss pelgo or at least that's maybe that's where he said it was and he said i can't find moss pelgo on any maps can you show it to me she says r5 get over here and on rolls R5-D4 with the blown exhaust port, you know, the bad motivator that basically made Uncle Owen say, hey, you're going to be the Pete Best of the Star Wars universe, as I put it. And Ringo Starr, R2-D2, is going to take your spot and go on to superstardom. A nice little nod. It was when they zoomed in on the blown motivator.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I was like, okay, John, we get it. We get it. It's R5. We got you. but i liked the nod it was cool yeah again this kind of goes like the subtleties and i i didn't notice that until you had tweeted it um because there was just so much and i'm taking notes during all this stuff too but uh that that was cool it's almost like the i i think you nailed it too with the beatles comparison i was gonna say he's almost like the rat from endgame but the rat actually did something in the end where it's like this guy just he he failed so bad he while he pipped himself and fucking Lou Gehrig came in with the ring again as an R2 guy that's
Starting point is 00:11:34 my dude so uh yeah Ringo Starr I'll take it because he fucking made the straw that stirred the drink in the end he he had fucking big time help up above but he you know he kept the beat rolling so um i feel it's crazy it's so fucked up how like this works but like mando like learning to embrace droids is something i'm like behind now like obviously in the last season um what's the droid who sacrificed himself at g11 like just seeing and like i'm sure that had something to do with it plus he's seen these guys before these fucking pet boy fucking droids i don't even know what to make of them i love them i couldn't believe she came back i didn't think we'd ever see her again um and i feel like a droid is gonna be making another big you know i don't know about sacrifice or just a big move for mando and he's gonna kind of like
Starting point is 00:12:17 you know grow to i don't know about love him and trust him but it's kind of gonna see a growth in him which i think is very cool yeah I think he'll continue working alongside him. So she tells Mando where Mos Pelgo used to be. She says, been run over by outlaws and bandits since the Galactic Imperial War was over. He arrives there on a speeder bike, and this is my favorite part of the episode in terms of music.
Starting point is 00:12:39 There was like a really cool, soft Mandalorian guitar theme. It was like almost an acoustic guitar theme playing under him, just rolling through the town and looking at each building and that very wild West town. I mean, we say every week like, Oh, it's a Western, it's spaghetti Western and star Wars this episode. They really leaned into that and braced it more than ever. I mean, we saw like a saloon that he went into.
Starting point is 00:13:00 We saw the like windmill type things that feel like we see on oil rigs i think of like there will be blood and shit this was straight up like we're in the wild west i mean yeah it was like everything else in star wars like all the other technology they have and yet we're still seeing like earth wild west years ago fucking technology which was weird especially like tatooine we know what tatooine and granted it's a fucking like desolate wasteland right it's not like this crazy advanced place in any sorts but just seeing like earth technology but it's just like oh this is the wild west and you almost were expecting to have like the swinging doors and fucking like uh you know uh sarsaparilla or whatever yes literally all they were missing was the swinging door so he goes into into the saloon. He meets this weekway bartender who is played by W. Earl Brown,
Starting point is 00:13:47 who is the, I guess, a character on Deadwood. Again, I'm not a Deadwood guy, so that connection went over my head really. But pretty cool nod to the people who are Deadwood fans. And he says, I'm looking for a Mandalorian. The guy says, we don't have many visitors around these parts. And he goes, well, he looks like me. He said, oh, you mean the Marshal. And he turns around and we look at the doorway.
Starting point is 00:14:07 And one of the coolest reveals moments in the Mandalorian, the history of the show, we see a man wearing Boba Fett's armor. And you could tell it doesn't fit him all right. You could tell he's a little taller than Boba Fett was. He's wearing some different garb underneath the armor. But it was an oh, fuck moment. If you're a Star Wars fan and you know that, you're like, whoa. I think that's what I think it is.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And he immediately takes the helmet off. You see the dent on it, right? So you're like, I mean, that's without question Boba. And it's Timothy Oliphant. That's the Fett, man. And I hate to say it. I got Baby Yo spoiled by me. And this moment got ruined for me too because
Starting point is 00:14:46 i have i'm an old man i need to watch subtitles as i watch tv now it's just one of those things when you get old you're gonna have to go through it one day bob to trust me i never thought i'd be in that boat i need to do it it's just one of those things my brain needs help and it said like all the boat all the lines it said uh whatever his name is you know it said Cobb and Cobb Van and I'm like oh that's not Boba Fett so it was kind of like a bummer even though I knew it wasn't gonna probably be him it just seemed a little too weird it was like a medium like oh that that's not Boba Fett that's not Boba Fett so it was one of those just kind of a bummer things um but I I love the twist I love the twist because it wasn't like all right this is this very small
Starting point is 00:15:26 universe it's like no he has the armor but it's not the fet man and he knows nothing about the fet man as far as we know that's what it seems to be um he pretty much says right away he's like well i assume you want this armor and he's like yeah where'd you get it he's like borrow off some jawas and we learn the full story later on he goes into the backstory a little bit but pretty quickly realized oh he this doesn't actually mean much to him he was just able to take the town back and and run the town the whole Cobb man's character which we'll get into a little more when he lays down the backstory was an awesome addition to the Star Wars universe and he's actually from the books which we'll talk about as well I thought that was pretty cool I'm a big Oliphant guy even though to me Timothy Oliphant's one of those guys where i love him or i really like him but i feel like i've seen him in more
Starting point is 00:16:08 things than i've seen him because i like look at imdb and i'm like i didn't see you in that i didn't see hitman were you a guy i was not a deadwood guy so that you know again nothing to do with them um girl next door he laid such a sleazebag but i appreciated him the weird thing that was freaking me out though is that you find out he's a sheriff and i'm also i mean top three shows of mine currently like playing is fargo and he is a cop in fargo so i have double oliphant pd in my brain right now i'll tell you about it was like my brain is again it needs help just like being able to watch a bunch of wires crossing yeah it's like why does was this guy in fucking cold ass like kansas city and now he's in a fucking in tatooine it's the same guy it's the same guy now he's wearing boba fett's armor so there was a lot of
Starting point is 00:16:55 shit going on in my brain i don't know if i know trent was watching i know he's a fargo guy i don't know how he processed all this but it took it did a number on my brain on friday morning when again it was very early in the morning trent actually impressively called out timothy oliphant as soon as he heard his voice it's like is that fucking timothy oliphant i was like uh yeah and big daddy knew that going in you know he didn't get the subtitles with oh i know he's playing combat he was just he knew the voice it was pretty impressive i was was low-key gassed up about it but mando says listen this is straight up cultural appropriation you're going to give me that armor you cannot wear it i need it back he said oh i'm not giving it up so i assume only one of us is going to leave this
Starting point is 00:17:34 saloon they did the old western standoff we even see timothy olivan has like uh the gunslinger type blaster right and then as soon as they start to, you know, get ready to actually shoot each other, the town starts grumbling and rumbling. And I think immediately, oh, there's gotta be a dust storm, a sandstorm. I thought we were gonna get like a Mad Max type sequence where something comes over this whole place
Starting point is 00:17:58 and they don't know how to protect themselves. No, no, no. It's much scarier than that, actually. We see the ground moving, the sand moving, and a fucking crate dragon, which we know from, I guess, Knights of the Old Republic, the video game, and then that long-ass skeleton that C-3PO walks past in A New Hope, that is a crate dragon skeleton, so a little shout- out to that. We see one alive and well in live action, eat a full banter, just swallows a hole like he's a whale or something. Holy shit moment for sure. And the CGI was what blew me away the most. This was like, I think I might've said it to you,
Starting point is 00:18:34 felt movie quality to me. And I understand last season, we had some pretty good CGI as well, but this just kind of blew me away. Yeah, again, this was one of those, I got upgraded TV to really appreciate this shit. Cause they're bringing the fucking thunder this year. And I,
Starting point is 00:18:48 I, first I was like, cause then you see the armor bobing. You're like, all right, well we have like, is this the Sarlacc? How is the Sarlacc moving?
Starting point is 00:18:54 I know the motherfucker is mobile and stuff like that. Then you realize it's the Kray dragon. And obviously I like, again, I do like the nod again. You're not hammering home everything from the old movies, but still like a little nodder. If you're, especially if you're going back to the same planet i appreciated that it also reminded me of the sand or worm or whatever you want to call it from beetlejuice which always
Starting point is 00:19:14 scared the shit out of me like imagine leaving your house and it just becomes this like wasteland it was a giant fucking worm that'll just eat your ass so uh especially i mean it was halloween season so there was a little my brain brain, I was a scared man. Good thing I wasn't ready to go to a galaxy far, far away at that point. Delta 8 would have been on the second viewing. So I'm happy I was like clear headed, bros, because it was a lot to take in at that time. Oh, and the bartender didn't give a fuck. These two were about to blow each other's smithereens.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Bartender's there just cleaning his glasses. He didn't leave. Yeah. But as soon as the dragon showed up then he was out he was like all right i'm not dealing with a fucking dragon and i thought something that was interesting the guy that played the bartender w earl brown he put up a tweet thread about basically ra blogged it about how he never thought he was going to wear prosthetics again after he had a bad experience sitting in a makeup chair for hours and hours and hours on a movie set years ago but
Starting point is 00:20:05 then star wars called up and he was like all right i gotta do star wars i don't care what they want me to wear and he said one of the only things they told him on set was that the sarlacc can now move under sand so i think originally it was probably planned to be the sarlacc and somewhere along the line maybe you know someone told john fabrera hey it's not uh canonical if it moves underwater it's known to only sit in one space i don't know but i think it was originally going to be the sarlacc later they even give a nod to it in the episode where they say that the kray dragon's cave was uh an abandoned sarlacc pit and cop van says i've lived on tattooing my whole life i've never heard of an abandoned sarlacc pit they said well they get abandoned if the sarlacc gets eaten
Starting point is 00:20:44 so they're saying maybe the kray dragon ate the sarlacc pit. They said, well, they get abandoned if the Sarlacc gets eaten. So they're saying maybe the Krayt Dragon ate the Sarlacc. Kind of reminded me of The Force Awakens when they were like, remember that thing from the original trilogy? Well, this one's bigger. Yeah, Death Star? No, a planet's bigger than the star. The Death Planet.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Oh, my God. Yeah, and they're like, the Sarlacc? Well, this thing fucking ate the Sarlacc. Kyle Vanth lays down a a deal to mando right away then he's like listen i'll give you this armor if you can help me get rid of that thing the crate dragon it's eating all our uh banthas it's destroying our town we can't deal with it i need someone you know to help me out i heard you're a great hunter a great killer can't take this thing on alone he accepts the deal immediately this is right up mando's alley you give him a quest he's gonna accept it basically and on the way to meet some reinforcements who cobb vanth doesn't realize yet or sand people we get his backstory and his backstory is very cool
Starting point is 00:21:35 very awesome kind of pulled from these books called aftermath by chuck wendig the night that the death star got got destroyed the second death star he was watching it basically on the news they had like a little uh hologram of it blowing up in this bar they all celebrated for a few seconds and then the mining collective came in and this mining collective immediately uh they said power is a vacuum right and they filled in so they took control of this moss pelgo wild west town and treated everyone else like slaves. He escaped, luckily, grabbed this cantina of crystals. He didn't even realize there were crystals in there.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And he traded them with some Jawas that rescued him to get Boba Fett's armor. Doesn't even really know what Boba Fett's armor is, but he shows up back to town and he fucks them up with it. We finally get to see the rocket firing jet pack, you know, the rocket fire out of it with boba we see his little antenna come down and him lock on to some targets we see wrist rockets in the bar we get to see like all of the boba fett cool equipment that we never got to see used in
Starting point is 00:22:39 the original trilogy in one quick flashback sequence they were like check it out here's all the cool shit he does yeah it's like boba could have done some cool shit if he just wasn't like dying to a blind guy at the end but it is funny too obviously the um the infamous boba boba fett toy where it was like they couldn't sell it right it's like there's like three of them in the world because it would have been kids like shooting in the eyes or down their throats or something like that uh the death star celebration was exactly what i talked about um. Again, there are a lot of things, but that was like a big thing was like, this is from the movie to see people's reactions to it.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And I always, I think that's what a lot of people wonder. It's like, how exactly does it go from the empire to the, what are they called in the new movies, the bad guys? The First Order. The First Order. Like, obviously there was a power vacuum and stuff. And it's like, that's kind of how like the real world works is when like a government,
Starting point is 00:23:27 no matter how bad they are, collapses. It's like all these other rogue, bad parties and whatever kind of rise up and start claiming, even if it's like in these little individual pockets of, you know, the universe or in countries, it's little towns or whatever. And that's exactly what you think would happen. And that's what allows the first order to rise again. So it was very cool to kind of see how it got from episode six to episode seven in the show. So I love that. And Boba Fett.
Starting point is 00:23:55 And again, this is a dude who isn't. He's not Boba. So he doesn't have experience in it. It's so impractical. If you're fighting someone, to have to bend down to the way it leaned over. Yeah. It was so awkward. And I'm like, yeah, that's someone who was doing that was created for a toy not an actual person i feel like maybe he could have just used the eye thing hit the button and the rocket would
Starting point is 00:24:14 go up and then go at the person instead of having to bend down like kind of an asshole but again i i've never had a boba fett rocket launcher unfortunately it's still cool no you're 100% correct and i saw someone actually put side by side comparisons up of that scene where he fires the rocket at the ship and iron man from the first movie where he fires the i think it was like the shoulder blaster at the tank he shows up and he does that and it was so similar this episode directed by john favreau as well that some people were saying it might have even been like a conscious nod to that Iron Man scene. And another thing, going back to the Beskar armor
Starting point is 00:24:48 that I forgot to mention that I wanted to mention before, why it's so coveted, why everyone wanted it. Beskar armor is so great. Beskar steel, when, what do you call it, when smelted the right way, when forged the right way by someone like the armor, can basically deflect lightsabers it's like the strongest armor in the entire world and the only place to find beskar was on mandalore and on the moon as i mentioned last week and mandalore is completely destroyed and its moon by a mining
Starting point is 00:25:17 collective that was looking for beskar so i thought it might have even been a little nod to that in this story where they said the mining collective were the ones to take over because that I could see Mando kind of relating to Cobb Vanth and saying, Oh, I've seen my people get taken over by a mining collective before I want to help this guy out. It was never acknowledged, but it was one of those things for the hardcore Star Wars fans that might've been in there to be like, Oh, this is a little extra. And again, I think that are, I mean, the armor is very important.
Starting point is 00:25:46 That's kind of one of the common themes for this is how important his armor is and getting it or taking it off him and all that kind of stuff. I mean, obviously he's getting bobas. I like how they really did hammer home. Like, no, this shit is badass. Like I saw Captain America with the shield and it's like, oh, that shield is very important. You do not want to lose that shield.
Starting point is 00:26:02 You don't want that shield going into the wrong hands. And now the armor, I'm like, someone else gets that armor it's gonna be a fucking problem and that's why the mandos are so good all i really got from season one about the mandalorians was like they're a pretty secretive tribe and they had some shit happen to them but they are badass and respected but i never kind of got the whole armor thing the armor thing completely is the message has been sent and received here so mando takes cob vanth to some sand people we see like hyenas at first it looked like the hyenas from lion king came out of this canyon we were like oh fuck what's gonna go down here and then one just runs
Starting point is 00:26:35 up to him after he speaks a little sand people he rubs its back like it's a dog it's like a poe dameron and bb8 the way he's rubbing its belly kind of hysterical to see the way he was treating this seemingly disgusting creature and then some sand people come out and once again he just talks to them like they're people he's like come on you know he gives them a little sign language speaks their language says we could band together we could defeat this thing i know you guys don't want to eat all your banthas either cob banth very uh star wars racist and that he's like i don't want to work with their kind and mando eventually eventually says, listen, strength in numbers. We got to band together.
Starting point is 00:27:08 They formulate this plan. They show, you know, kind of the cliche montage of here's the plan. Here's the creature. Here's us. Is that scale? Is that not the scale? Mando volunteers his village, which he's a little upset about at first, but eventually they go through the training montage again of let's teach the village people how to fight a very familiar storyline in star
Starting point is 00:27:29 wars but not an unwelcome one it wasn't i didn't feel like we were retreading at all and then we basically get into the the create dragon battle before we get into that what did you think of sort of the jaws-esque we have to kill this creature montage um well i i loved how i even made a note of this when mando was first on the speeder going out to uh what was it most most pelgo most pelgo um i loved how even during that and i didn't know it was gonna even be kind of fleshed out more he's eating with the tuscan raiders and i was like oh shit like it was the first time they like humanized the tuscan raiders they're always the savages these crazy awful people and they really do feel and obviously anakin has his beef well uh founded with them um but even in in the you know a new
Starting point is 00:28:15 hope it's always like these guys are just these people who just want to kill it's like no they have like their reasons and it's you always have to see it from a different point of view and then when he was like eating those whatever the fuck they were with him like desert rats or whatever and then through all this i was like oh shit like tuscan raiders are like they're just people trying to make a living or trying to live their life and it's just never been portrayed that way and i actually really did appreciate it um tom vanth it was like karen vanth he's like I don't get out of here you don't take someone with your phone god damn it it was it was wild to see um I I actually really enjoyed that because there's I imagine with the huts you could find some good huts out there it's like it's like
Starting point is 00:28:55 you can find you can find some bad people like some bad jedis you know what I mean like I think after watching the prequels I'm like half these people fucking suck you know what I mean and they're the reason everything went wrong was these guys. There's always like two sides to everything in the world. So I did appreciate that. That's definitely a major theme of the show too. Between that, the droids,
Starting point is 00:29:15 them playing like the weak way bartender who weak ways are normally depicted as bad guys, the star was universe. They just made his species of bartender this time. And it's just like, yeah, everyone can be their own selves. We're all individuals in this universe in this galaxy far far away i like it it's yeah these crazy little rocks are spinning on uh in a galaxy far far away um but yeah i i
Starting point is 00:29:35 liked how the the whole scale thing i thought was like oh this is just being silly and i think and then i realized they're just like no this, this thing that's coming for them is enormous and a task and a half to get rid of. And just even seeing like the – when the guy, the Tuscarora like drops a thing, he's like, that's a bomb that could explode. And it's like that's just how it goes when you have two sets of people that don't know each other and don't understand like different things. It was just interesting to see like the dynamics of it also. I thought it was very cool. Like, again, a social moment in Star star wars who would have fucking thought right and i didn't even realize this until jeff d lowe sent me a breakdown of it but that moment was like an homage to jaws there's a moment in jaws that's exactly like that where they drop one of the explosive
Starting point is 00:30:19 canisters they're like what are you trying to blow this whole ship up and then eventually you know kill the beast in a very similar way. So let's get into it. The Krayt Dragon battle. We show up at the cave and all the village people. We got some sand people. They got their ballistas. Cobb Vanth has his Boa Fett armor.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Mandalorian's got his armor. And they make this plan where they basically say we have to blow it up by the belly. It's the only weak spot is the belly. So let's dig a bunch of holes outside of the the cave we'll lure it out and then we'll blow it up with explosives that we planted underneath the sand they try that they can't really get it out they're having trouble getting it out uh they blow the charges and eventually it doesn't work and they don't even try to pretend that it works they cut the cop ant he's like I don't think that thing's dead and Mando's like yeah me either and then we get the two of them
Starting point is 00:31:08 going off on their jet packs which immediately like the you want to talk to Robbie Fox come picture when Kyle Vance puts the Boba Fett helmet on and they they take off like they're just I mean Boba Fett and Django it looks like they they shoot at it long fought out battle I don't I can't describe the whole thing for you guys. This is like, I feel like I'm describing it for a blind people, but eventually Mando goes full on Ironman on that bitch. He goes into it with a banter rigged full of explosives,
Starting point is 00:31:37 destroys it from the inside, blasts out of it. Like I assume Boba Fett blasted out of the Sarlacc pit once upon a time ago. And he destroys that fucking thing. He blows the shit out of it. Well, he blows the shit out of it up. He didn't blow it.
Starting point is 00:31:53 A couple of those in here. This one I forgot about. The flamethrower. The flamethrower comes out and he's doing it to like kind of like keep the peace. Yeah. Instead of like to fight anything. And I was like, that's what it should be used for. It's like a parlor trick.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Exactly. It's like, look what I can do. I can light a fire. That's all it all it seems so he's finally getting the cooking that'd be good if you need to cook in the middle of the desert quick fire boom i mean if you if if your vape isn't working and you have some 3c that is say flammable you can use your flint thrower to light it up hypothetically make those homemade edibles with the three signatures exactly um this was big for me. Big role-playing game guy as a kid.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I never knew how to say Leviathan. Learned that. That was a big thing. Shout out to Timothy Holt for saying that. Very Ewok-y attack plan by this group. We're going very basics here with a lot of ropes. Sticks and stones. Yeah, sticks and stones and actual rope that they're doing.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I couldn't believe that. The double jet pack. That even had a little bit of, um, when John snow and Khaleesi bull start flying with the dragons, obviously a much better episode than the one they did. There's in, uh, the dragon kind of had a little bit of a rancor. I thought it kind of reminded me of the rancor, uh, spitting acid. Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that. That was, that was crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:02 It's like when, and that was like his go-to move at some point. He's like a Philly fan that when they puke on people at the games, and I was like, the Dragon's a Philly fan. That was one of my notes. We had a little – and then, like you said, Mandel, a little story of Job, going into the whale belly. Shout out our guy Drax, too, who dives into the beast. He doesn't really kill the giant, whatever the fuck it is, in Guardians here.
Starting point is 00:33:24 And, yeah, then I was just like, once it's dead, do you think that's good steak? I feel like it's a tough steak and obviously acidic too. I don't know what it is, but he took a big chunk of that thing back with him. I mean, a massive, multiple pounds of it. He could probably get an industrial fridge full of it at this point. I think it's probably like elk. Like Joe Rogan talks about, you eat elk meat. It makes you feel like a man he's like he gets your testosterone pumping i bet that's what kray dragon is like and they get uh the tuscan raiders get a pearl out of
Starting point is 00:33:54 it which is a little shout out to knights of the old republic there's a level where you got to kill a kray dragon in a very similar fashion where you got to lure it out of a cave blow it up from underneath and when you kill it you get a pearl in return and a pearl could be used to make uh lightsabers even because it's made out of like kyber crystals and stuff so i don't know i have a question i'm gonna go like use it or not but who knows yeah that would be cool if it actually came back and and you said that could be made for lightsabers is that what you said yeah yeah that's awesome that's cool um did you now this is like where i get worried about really out of myself how old i am did you play gorgon trial growing up not really but i have played
Starting point is 00:34:31 it in my life yeah yeah because it's like one of those things when you used to hunt and then you'd be able to only carry back 100 pounds of meat you'd shoot like seven bears and like three buffalo or whatever and you'd get a thousand pounds of meat you can only carry 100 pounds like that's like a billion pounds of fucking crate dragon what do you do with the rest of that i guess the tuscan riggers carried it back but yeah it seems like it's not one of those things that is it's like a really strong drink it doesn't taste good but it makes you feel like a man like you said it gets testosterone going all that kind of stuff so i i i like that too and um i guess we'll get to the rest of it i'll save the rest for you here for the rest of the episode.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah, so right there, right then and there, Cobb Vanth gives Mando the armor. He's a man of his word. Mando says, listen, I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance to explain myself why I needed this armor. He said, don't worry about it. You earned it. Just tell your people I wasn't the one who broke that
Starting point is 00:35:19 because there's a great moment during the battle where he's trying to get Cobb Vanth out of the way, and he hits the jetpack in the same exact way, same manner that Han Solo hit it in Return of the Jedi to just send him flying like a balloon with air let out of it and I love that that's another one of those things where it's like if you're not a Star Wars fan you're watching that that line makes complete and total sense you're like yeah that jetpack just broke if you are a Star Wars fan you're like oh that's tremendous that's just the deepest of deep cuts right there it was um where it was the Rick Dalton there was like seven Rick Dalton yeah point at the screen
Starting point is 00:35:52 he like uh in the beginning of it when he's like wherever he goes I go I was like that and then like seven different times I pointed the screen and again the jetpack was another one of those it's gotten to the point now I mean they I don't know if they meant to do it I don't know if you could really mean to do something like this I think if you mean to do it it wouldn't actually work but there's moments where it's like oh that's a meme or that's a quote like this is the way i was like that's gonna be huge i have spoken that's gonna be huge and um there are gonna be other moments like that throughout the series i don't think there was any moment like that here i thought wherever he goes i go obviously the shirt shout out uh, camera, barstool guys for those shirts.
Starting point is 00:36:25 There's some great ones out there. We got a ton of merch at store.barstoolsports.com and I, and keep your eye on it because there was some stuff that was pulled that might go back up for a limited time. So just keep checking in, keep checking, you know, follow lights, camera, barstool, lights camera pod on Twitter and all that stuff. They'll update you for sure. And this episode ends with a nice twin sons reveal. We see the twin sons.
Starting point is 00:36:47 We see Mando speeding away. And we see someone from behind. He's got a Tusken Raider weapon. He's got a Tusken Raider rifle. And he turns around. And although he's a little scarred up, although he didn't really have eyebrows, this was Tamora Morrison as Boba Fett.
Starting point is 00:37:04 This is the man himself watching over his armor tracking it maybe i don't know but he's aware of what's going on down there fucking boba fett did you know this is boba right away so again third fucking giant thing that i've missed i'm not good with the premieres it turns out because i've missed baby yo i missed fucking i found out that wasn't Boba in the saloon. And then I must have been writing a note down because I looked at my phone thinking that's the end of the episode, and I just – he just wasn't on my screen. I don't know if I got, like, the fucking broken version of my Disney Plus
Starting point is 00:37:35 or they forgot they had Boba. I just didn't see him. Just looked down for a second, thought the episode was over. And I was like, eww. And then I saw I think it was you or someone tweeted about Boba Fett, and I'm like, where the fuck was that that guy i didn't see him at all and again like at this point i'm probably like all right i gotta start getting to work you know get some shit up here so maybe my brain wasn't clicking i got it completely like i am pretty much unplugged phone down lights off that's the
Starting point is 00:37:58 no how does it go lights off put down phones that's the way we like the throne yeah i'll have to work on i'll have to work on a mandando version of that um but yeah it's basically just complete shutdown but i missed the boba reveal now would you know that that was boba based on anything other than you'd either know the actor or um like the there was really nothing else that he was wearing or that sound that like music wasn't a boba sound right no some people uh je Jeff told me that if you go back and listen to it really closely, it's the same sound from the end of Chapter 5 last season when we hear boots walking up on Fennec Shand. So I think it is probably him at the end of that episode. But no, no indication that it would be Boba.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Otherwise, like I said, he's really scarred up in the face, and's in complete sand people garb which i think can be very interesting we'll get into that in the questions why he's wearing that um we can get into the questions now because that is the whole episode but like i said like clem said we love this thing it's phenomenal i've watched it four times now talking about it just makes me want to see it again i'll probably hit a fifth tonight tremendous episode great start to the season couldn't ask for a better start pretty much yeah and so this was two other notes i had written uh during that battle scene one is like every time they cut to baby yell i'm like oh yeah we have like basically a nuclear weapon that they can use whenever they really need it they have like this fucking super powerful little cute ass being who honestly he might be cuter this season
Starting point is 00:39:23 i have to go like a split screen and see which one's cuter i feel like he might be cuter this season i have to go like a split screen and see which one's cuter i feel like he might be getting a little cuter which i didn't think was possible um and then there was a little bit of artwork of baby yo uh he was kind of like doing some power i think i'm one of those maybe those dogs or something and i was like oh shit like it's interesting to see the stuff that you know got cut on the floor and i have to go through that that artwork again um because again that's when my brain started being like, all right, time to go back to work, you jerk. So that kind of stuff. And then the third one was, I would have loved it. If man, it was like,
Starting point is 00:39:50 I got, I need that more armor, not because I'm a Mandalorian. I just want to be Boba Fett for Halloween, which is like a sweet little twist. I need that. That's so cool. That's so cool, dude. That's awesome. So we got our first question from Dalton birds, longtime listener of the podcast. He says, would you rather see mando team up with boba or fight boba good question i have to go fight boba i think at first i'd like to see them fight and then team up kind of the avengers formula you know when it's like they'll fight and then realize maybe they're stronger
Starting point is 00:40:20 together but i just love the idea of that gunslinger vibe where it's like, I don't know if the story will be he thinks Fennec Shand was killed by the Mandalorian and he wants to go after him because of that. We know Fennec Shand killed for the Hutts before. Maybe they have a connection there. What if Fennec Shand was Boba's wife or something? I have no idea. If he thinks the Mandalorian killed him, could be a very interesting story to dive into there.
Starting point is 00:40:42 But eventually it'd be cool to see them side by side, I think. Yeah, I think I kind of want this like a um like a super tag team in wrestling like these guys are together we'll see how much they fuck shit up knowing the mega powers are gonna explode at some point and you know there's a limited time and it's like who's gonna turn on who what's it gonna be over all that kind of stuff and i would kind of love it if if it was more mando the one kind of turning on boa instead of like the, the known villain bad guy from the other movies turning on him. It would be cool just to see a couple of Mandalorians like actually fight together for a while. So I hope, I hope we get more than, I mean,
Starting point is 00:41:16 it'd be cool to see him fight. But again, I feel like there's like a ceiling with that where I think there's so many cool things you could have them doing together, or even if it's like not fighting one-on-one but if it's almost like a cold war where they're planning this shit out and they're doing things to sabotage each other like spy versus spy which again that's getting me big time i was a tool for spy versus spy and i know that from a little bit of mad magazine um but some kind of shit like that where you have these two mandos playing chess against each other that could be very cool even a uh prestige-esque rivalry
Starting point is 00:41:45 right where it's like they're just constantly going and one-upping each other this is a good question from b-rec he says do you think boba was tracking the mandalorian or tracking down his armor or even both now the hunt is on i don't know what boba was tracking if i had to guess it would be the armor but after the whole fennec sh Shan Mandalorian thing, it might have been him just himself. Here's something that I think is interesting. There was one Tusken Raider during the entire episode that was kind of just more standoffish. And he was just by himself while they were eating, while they were planning things. What if Boba Fett is doing the whole head wraps and living among the Tusken Raiders?
Starting point is 00:42:23 And he was with the Mandalorian and Cobb Vanth for the whole episode. What if he helped them kill the great dragon? What if he's closer to this situation than we even think he is? I would like that. I would like that a whole lot. I like it if Boba just has a fucking bounty on his head. And he's like, I'm looking to collect on this thing. Give me slave one back.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Bring back slave one. That fucking ship was so goddamn awesome. I love that ship so let's get that let's have him to fly that around even though i'm sure that's gone by now um yeah i think i had a question about that i forget who submitted it someone said like will we see the slave one again and i don't know if we will but it'd be a cool moment i think back to force awakens think about how cool it was when we saw the millennium falcon yes it was just like whoa i'm fine with him.
Starting point is 00:43:05 It does feel like he's going to – I wanted to watch it again and look for a Tusken Raider to see if he kind of stood out. And that's one of those things that the more you watch, like I feel like this show has that kind of depth where it's like the more you watch, the more kind of shit that's going to really open up your eyes and it's going to be like, holy shit. And I also think – I'm going to say it right now. We are the official prestige podcast of Barstool Sports, the number one pro prestige because we both love that movie. And I think it, I'm going to say it right now, we are the official prestige podcast of Barstool Sports,
Starting point is 00:43:25 the number one pro prestige because we both love that movie. And I think it doesn't get it. That and Lucky Number 7 are two movies I love and don't get enough love from like, you know, this century. The prestige other than the Dark Knight trilogy, my favorite Nolan movie. I'm crazy about it. This question is from Jacob Charlie, and I love this one as well.
Starting point is 00:43:42 I think it's a great question. He says, do you think they will deep dive into how boba survived or will it remain a mystery i think that's a great question because we have to think about the possibility of a boba fett movie down the line right and if they ever do a boba fett movie you would have to imagine that's the story they tell right but do they do it in a flashback sequence are they at this point like the mandalorian is such a money maker for us fuck the boba fett movie bring him in in mandalorian let's get everyone in on this that way i'm not sure i i would like to see it for sure i want to know but something tells me they're gonna save that for a movie just the way disney likes to milk
Starting point is 00:44:21 that money cow i don't know i i think i think they almost have to at some point and again i i understand there's some point parts where it's better not to know but just like with darth maul and if you haven't seen the clone wars and stuff like that but obviously at the end of solo he comes back i feel like solo might just get wiped out of canon by the time it's all said and done after there's enough time from it and everyone takes a step back they're gonna be like yeah the whole solo naming thing like that was really bad we're just gonna kill it um but again like i think you almost have to just you can't be like oh yeah boba fett oh it turns out he's a lot after like the the awful sarlacc that we were told was like instant death like the guy crawls out of
Starting point is 00:44:58 it you almost have to do that just to like make everything else seem all right with the sarlacc being so badass um maybe hey maybe boba actually like the him and the the dragon and like he was the one who actually has been sending the dragon to attack the town because he like i always thought it'd be so cool you ever see like those people that would fall asleep i think it was a saved by the bell episode where like you fall asleep in the mall and then you have the whole mall to yourself oh yeah i just wanted to be like the only person in a town like how cool would that be right and he's like just eat all these people dragon like me and you were cool we killed the sarlacc together and that was like his pet and now
Starting point is 00:45:31 he's like this fucking mando guy just killed my pet i kind of love that boba and the fucking dragon there's a movie for you boba and his little dragon i'd watch that the little prequel to this episode i like that too goes back to the holiday special where we first saw boba riding that like massive dinosaur type thing right yes yes um moving away from boba we have a question from ryan le pointe i don't know if that's how you say his last name if it's ryan le pointe i'm sorry but i went with the canadian pronunciation good work by you going out on the fly though i'll take it well point your name is now ryan le pointe he said do we think Cobb was riding Anakin's podracer it was definitely similar but I personally don't think it is I don't know if it was Anakin's podracer but we saw a lot of notes about this a lot of easter eggs you know screenshots over the
Starting point is 00:46:14 weekend on reddit Cobb's speeder looked a lot like it was made from Anakin's podracer and I don't know if it was but I could even see it just being made from scraps the whole thing doesn't have to be Anakin's podracer but those long yellow prongs that were sticking out i mean they certainly looked the same so again anakin's pod racer being on tatooine that would be one of the easter eggs that i'd be cool with that's not like you're beating us over the head with fan service that's just a real deep cut yeah i think i think you could like again we had a lot of the the older movies kind of being brought up. It doesn't have to be Anakin.
Starting point is 00:46:46 There was a whole entire pod racing circuit there. I'm sure there was multiple pod racing leagues or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Multiple pod racing pods. Like just pod racing itself is like a subtle nod to the old prequels and stuff like that. It doesn't need to be Anakin. Let's just cut the Skywalker lineage as much as you can from everything else. We've already had enough of it. So this question comes from Colin.
Starting point is 00:47:09 He says, are we going to get Boba and Captain Rex this season or just Boba? And I think we're going to get both specifically because of the end of this episode. I think the scarring on Boba's face and the way they made him look really pale and just, they differentiated him from Tamora Morrison, I think tells us that we will get rex and uh you know who is a clone who basically should look like tamora morrison
Starting point is 00:47:32 he's maybe a little huskier now he's gonna have a white beard when we see him if we see him but i think we will get both yeah no me too i'm i'm basically lockstep with you and all that kind of stuff jake wants to know will Boba ever wear the armor again? I think that's a no-brainer. Yes. I think that's like we're waiting for him to put that helmet back on. That'll be a moment. I think we may even get a couple close moments to kind of Avengers assemble.
Starting point is 00:47:57 And then one moment you just see him come out of nowhere when everything looks at its worst. And he's got the fucking, the fat man's coming and he's shooting and i mean the man has and i i does john favreau ever said like if he was a boba guy growing up and i feel like everyone i think he i think he was yeah okay so i feel like if you're a boba guy you need to like you need to fulfill his destiny of being everything you thought like because i mean i loved him when i started watching in the 90s you loved him growing up in the 2000s but we had eight fucking million other entertainment options to go through we all had these crazy lives in the 70s and 80s or i guess
Starting point is 00:48:37 boba started debuted in the 80s because that's when empire came out like that's probably all people thought about for like like between two and three between empire and jedi people are just like fucking boba fett is gonna be so awesome in jedi he's gonna fuck so much shit up his name is so cool i can't get the toys i want the toys so badly and then he just did nothing and i feel like this is the guy who's going to right i wouldn't say the wrongs but just like the shit that happened you know i mean he's, I guess it was the right of the, the, the, the fates wrong us of getting a fully operational functional Boba by someone who clearly loves and cares about the France, the Star Wars franchise as much as he does, which again, after this episode,
Starting point is 00:49:16 after the entire series so far, I feel like he's in great hands and it's only getting better and better as each episode goes by. That's an amazing, amazing way to end this podcast, because you actually answered our last question, which is from James Eaton. He said, do you think Boba's character
Starting point is 00:49:30 can be redeemed through the Mandalorian after his somewhat disappointing role in the original trilogy? I think we're both on the same page by giving that a resounding yes. I think the Mandalorian is so successful so far, and it has brought Star Wars fans together in such a way that
Starting point is 00:49:45 resonates with the original trilogy fans the prequel trilogy fans everybody that yeah I think I would trust Favreau and Filoni to redeem anything at this point yeah at this point I'm trying to think of the hashtag on the fly and I can't like hashtag redeem Boba uh you know save the fat man justice for that justice for that all Justice for fat. All those kind of things. Someone come up with a perfect hashtag and we'll get that going. And once it happens, which it will, Jon Favreau is going to – a lot of the people who listen to my Star Wars with Robbie ever since The Last Jedi, they see me as the negative guy.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Trust me. I was not this way. There's plenty from The Force Awakens on me on Star Wars, plenty of blogs on Barstool. I was the positive guy. I'm the guy who talks about how the Giants are going to win every week and they lose every single God damn week. I am the positive guy
Starting point is 00:50:29 in a lot of my circles at Barstool. This show makes me feel happy about Star Wars. I think he's going to do it. I hope he's going to do it. And I will admit though, it will be funny if Boba Fett is like Phasma where it's like every fucking time he turns around it just doesn't work. yeah it's like he's he's the fucking he's I mean I guess it's a bad
Starting point is 00:50:49 comparison I'll do my bad sports comparison now but like he's like what Jared Cook was in fantasy football he's a six like four athletic specimen tight end and every year you draft him in fantasy and he put up like 200 yards and three touchdowns you're like what the fuck this guy he looks so good and that's almost what it feels like. It would be almost funny if Boba just ends up being the Jared Cook before he became decent with the Saints in the last couple years of his career before the Saints, too. Speaking of fantasy, by the way, I just took a look at our scores.
Starting point is 00:51:17 It's 8.38 p.m. right here on Sunday night. We are winning. It's about 90 to 86, and we're projected to win this thing by 10. The Basement Boys, if you guys aren't't aware barstool has a fantasy football podcast me and clem are a team together on it and we're doing okay the the big thing about this league is the second place gets punished just as bad as the last place so we're our motto is if you ain't in last you're in first exactly exactly and okay so when you told me that i haven't followed it i i disconnected um and this this is the end of the podcast so if you don't give a fuck my fans
Starting point is 00:51:50 this is your base this is the basement boys this is our well-being we're gonna have like a crazy awful punishment if we come in last or make it to the championship and lose in the finals so like you're invested with us too we're to have all the basement boys and girls come and join us during this thing. We have to put a puzzle together as, what is it? It's a puzzle. Put a puzzle together.
Starting point is 00:52:10 It's a thousand piece puzzle of Jerry Ferrara's face, but really tiny. It's just Photoshopped to be really tiny on his head. You have to put that together, locked in a room, while listening to the Entourage theme on repeat, and then a movie. I forget what movie it is.
Starting point is 00:52:24 It's some shitty early 2000s. Justin and Kelly or whatever. From Justin and Kelly or something. Yeah. You have to watch that on repeat. And then you also have to memorize all runner-ups from American Idol. And you're not allowed out of the room until that happens. That sounds like legitimate torture.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Torture. Yep. That's something we would do to a terrorist. Exactly. I think the Geneva Conventions would do to a terrorist. Exactly. I think the Geneva Conventions made it illegal years ago, and just no one's caught up on it because we're barstool. No one even knows how to read the – I don't know if the Geneva Convention is even the right word to use for this.
Starting point is 00:52:55 This is the perfect actual thing. I had Derek Carr locked into the quarterback, and I saw there's like 50 mile-per-hour winds in Cleveland. So I was like, shit, I need another quarterback. And I just looked at the next highest projected guy, Jimmy G. 2.76 fantasy points. I use Jimmy G earlier this year. I think he had a negative and both times he left the game and he got us fucking like one point total. Jimmy G you know what he is? He's Boba Fett. He's a good looking guy who you're like, this guy should be fucking awesome. He's looked good on the field. He looks great off the field and he never fucking performs for us so i think i just found our actual comparison for boba fett it's
Starting point is 00:53:29 jimmy goddamn garoppolo god damn it there he is all right we will talk to you guys next monday it's been it's been a great recap we'll catch you then
