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. My TV, my new TV I got, remember I was talking about how the speakers just stopped working on it? Apparently, HDMI for this kind of TV, like if you have a plug-in for HDMI, it doesn't work. So that TV has since been shipped out, returned to Costco, and the 65 inch tv and even bigger tv was on sale at target for 240 bucks and i drove there on a fucking whim on a friday afternoon to get a new tv so i have a new tv giants are undefeated on it we got our new mandolin and everything so everything's good bob there's the answer to your question a very long-winded answer go off king go off king you

know i didn't appreciate the giant spark because they defeated the Washington football team today. That's tough. This was the My Mom's Basement Bowl. The most pathetic bowl in the NFL. Hey, we have two Washington football guys on our team, and they both scored touchdowns today. So it was kind of like a best possible scenario because one of us was going to win.

At least they got their touchdowns in as well. We're in line for w now so we'll see kb no swag said we had the best twitter accounts which i mean that's huge yeah for those that listened to last week's podcast you knew at the end we talked about our fantasy football team at barstool me and clem are on a team together we're the basement boys and every week we're judged on something that isn't football related or we draft something sometimes that isn't football related so we drafted like 90s musicians and whoever had the most posts on Instagram would get the most points that week. We drafted weathermen.

We drafted college football defenses for good and bad reasons. And this week we didn't draft anything. And we were just told we were judged by KB on our Twitter presence and me and Clem won in the entire league we we were the best apparently i think it was he said it was over our enthusiasm towards the mandalorian that helped us as well yeah it was so it was apparently uh capital letter tweets are good in kb's mind but exclamation points and emojis like faces and stuff are bad and apparently we had a ton of those things too but we had so many cap locks because again a mandalorian for you ufc there was ufc

this weekend there's ufc this weekend we had fights the mets for me and then uh so i like all that i had foo fighters on snl this weekend i had a bunch of caps lock tweets about that yeah so we had a crazy awesome wild weekend and uh again if kb says you're good at twitter then i mean it's better than being bad at twitter again this could be a long like long, like long con by him where he's going to be like, Oh no, you guys are actually the worst. And I like, hate, I meet you guys, even though I follow you kind of a thing, but I like to think KB likes us as Twitter guys. So I'm going to take everyone I can get right now.

Absolutely. I'm taking it. So we can get into this week's Mandalorian episode, I guess, before we do, let me remind you of our presenting sponsor each and every week, 3C in their delta eight gummies this stuff is the best stuff in the galaxy not just the world the galaxy you take a little bit it'll take you to that galaxy far far away before you watch the mandalorian all of these products are formulated by a biochemist usa grown hemp usa formulated um it is a federally legal version of thc this is what people ask me every week. They say, Robbie, is this stuff legit?

Is it for real? I'm a smoker. I know what THC is. I take THC. Clem, you can validate this. This is very legit. This stuff will get you zooming very quickly. It's I think it has like a hundred percent approval rating at Barstool. Cause everyone who's done it is like, Oh yeah, that's the good shit right there. And like you said created the industry they are the anakin skywalker the industry was made the midichlorians made this industry they three team made this industry so it's a beautiful thing and again barstool approved all the different podcasts all different walks of life everyone's

like thumbs up on that that's hard to get it's hard to get like a phone 100 across the board approval and especially in an office like ours where it is a very green friendly office. We do have a lot of smokers that know what people call quote unquote real THC. Throw that term out the window. It's Delta 9 THC. It's Delta 8 THC. This is all real THC folks. This is amazing stuff.

Clem, I don't think my mom's basement has any Ugly Sweaters this year, but we were just talking before the podcast. We got to put out some kind of holiday t-shirt, some kind of limited edition holiday shirt for the listeners. Maybe make 50, a hundred of them get a nice Nathan Hearst design on there and,

uh, make that kind of a collectible. I think that works. I think the basement crew, it's, you know, little smaller than the award winning listeners in terms of numbers, but it's a fucking loyal tight crew.

It's the Avengers, man. We're fucking it. We're all together so i i'm looking at my my mom's basement hoodie and i say this like this isn't even a plug for the hoodie the hoodie is a completely separate thing in the store i have not worn that hoodie out without getting a compliment it is undefeated i wear it all the goddamn time when i was on my uh anniversary with my wife we were in the middle of fucking a hike or like going on a hike on this little trail. And some like lady in like her sixties, like, Oh, that's a very nice shirt there, honey.

Thank you. No idea what the fuck the barstool meant. Just kind of dug the colors. And again, the vibe, it's the vibe. So we need, we need to get a sweater that has the spirit and the vibe of being in the basement, being happy, just hanging out with your buddies, talking, you know, talking nerdy to each other. So, uh, yeah. And I think we could even open like open up to listeners, right? If, if someone comes up with a good idea, they get it.

Like if they get a shirt, if they come up with an idea that gets made into a shirt, they get the shirt, right? We can give it. Totally. Yeah. We'll work with you on it. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever you guys want. Yeah. So let's talk about this Mandalorian episode, Clem. You had a viewing experience much different than mine because you waited for a long time. I did not. This was the first time, I believe, in the history of the show that I actually watched it at release at three in the morning.

I accidentally took a nap on Thursday and woke up with a ton of energy and was just kind of like, all right, I guess I'll stay up till the Mandalorian comes out. Was it a mistake? I don't know. I have a deathly fear of like, all right, I guess I'll stay up till The Mandalorian comes out. Was it a mistake? I don't know. I have a deathly fear of spiders, Clem. Arachnophobia, they may call it. And at four in the morning, I was having a lot of trouble falling back to sleep after I watched The Mandalorian. So let's get into it. This episode is directed by Peyton Reed, who did both of the Ant-Man movies.

And this guy's just got, you know, a thing for bugs. He's a bug pervert of sorts. We open the episode off seemingly right where the last episode left off. Mandalorian and Baby Yoda are on a speeder. They're driving down the desert in Tatooine, and some scavengers or bounty hunters, it wasn't really specified, set up a booby trap for them. They hammer in the rope, right, And then they send the speeder flying.

Baby Yoda goes flying. The Mandalorian uses the jet pack. He lands on his feet, gets into a little battle with these two, and one eventually gets Baby Yoda at knife point. And he's like, listen, don't hurt the baby. I'll give you whatever you want. Gives him the jet pack, and then he pulls a nice trick on him. He sends him all the way up to the moon, drops him. Baby Yoda kind of gives him like a look and a laugh. And then he gets the jet pack and then he pulls a nice trick on him he sends him all the way up to the moon drops him baby yoda kind of gives him like a look and a laugh and then he gets the jet pack back this was

an awesome uh intro to this episode at the same time i was just about shitting myself when that guy had baby yoda at knife point oh god yeah i my in my notes it just says little yo baby yo falling like he's just like he takes a fucking tumble on that dirt and that dirt that sand is not forgiving and it gets in places we know give it to me give me the line our little sunshine our little lamb and he's rolling around on that stuff he doesn't like that kind of stuff he's probably from a nice humid warm swampy i i always associate where yoda lived as like she lives there i don't know if that's true but he doesn't like that it's coarse you don't want to,

then the knife to the throat just double trigger. And again, on Saturday night, I wouldn't have been good watching that at three in the morning. I don't have an arachnophobia. I have a baby you always are going to get hurt. And I did not like seeing that at all. One bit. The title of the episode being the passenger. I thought that was going to be like a Boba Fett clue. And I was like, Oh shit, we're still on Tatooine. They didn't yet so i was really excited about that obviously i didn't

come to bear out um breakout i got i think we're gonna like you remember certain seasons for certain things this this might be the armor season we're gonna call it you know season two is the armors breakout season he fucking carried his own to kind of get the mando get the spider the cobwebs out of his head he kind, that kind of like kept everyone at bay. So that was good to see. And the two things I wrote down, Baby Yoda, and this is closed captioning for the old people. He is coos.

He has, we have a bunch of coos. And then he snorts. That's what they called the laugh. It says, you know, the child snorts. I was like, oh, he snorts. He's so cute. He's adorable. The child is still alive.

And because that was the rocket thing. Like the Star Wars humor is what like, oh, he starts. He's so cute. Adorable. He's still alive. Because that was the rocket thing. Like, the Star Wars humor is what, like, these are great movies. They look awesome, all this kind of stuff. The humor is kind of the thing that galvanized it into, like, the all-time stuff, especially the original trilogy. And that jetpack, that rocket gag was awesome. Even when the jetpack lands and that just slowly like falls over before the title card hits that was great that was like such a subtle thing in star wars humor that was amazing so i really enjoyed the intro here um he kind of limps his way to the cantina keeps all the armor on

which i was like man he's committed to that not taking the helmet off thing because you're in the middle of a desert and you're in a metal helmet oh my god he rocks it like a g2 like he did i you know what i always thought of i thought of all the guys in breaking bad like when walter's there or um better call saw when they have to walk through the desert and everyone's just crumbling by the end of it because there's sunburn and granted he's like he does have the armor on but he does have the armor on you hear about how like a mickey mouse costume could like kill a person in the florida heat without a fan inside mando mando has to have ac in there. He's got to have some cooling systems, right?

Yeah. Has to. Maybe he's got like a little drinking water thing, like those beer drinking hats. He's just got like a little tube down to his mouth. Little blue milks in both eyes and he's just drinking the blue milk. Man, that's a hysterical idea. If they don't make those at galaxy's edge they need

to right now that is made for the nerd population right there that is a layup um something i wrote down so he goes to the cantina which we always say like oh my god we're going back to you know mosagely and everything we saw it at nighttime that was a little like a little difference that i guess we don't see very often we We've seen it in the prequels. There's those little shots of Anakin's hometown at night. But this was kind of cool. He meets up with Amy Sedaris and this massive ant, which I assume was a little shout out to Peyton Reed, Ant-Man.

He says, listen, here's the deal. I don't have the speeder, whatever. I need to find more Mandalorians. She sees the bulb of fed armor. She's like, you found your Mandalorian? You killed him? He's like, nope, that's not what happened. She sees the Boba Fett armor. She's like, you found your Mandalorian? You killed him? He's like, nope, that's not what happened. And she puts him onto this frog lady.

She says, this frog lady needs to get back to her home planet. On her home planet, her husband has seen Mandalorians. He's physically seen them. You need to travel light. You can't go into light speed with this lady because she's got eggs. And she's a valuable passenger. This is the last of her family line. Will you be up up to the challenge mando always up to the challenge i hope this is the last we see see if amy sidaris in the mandalorian this season i have nothing against her

but just her character is just like i don't know it's a i'm not a big fan of it to be honest thank god bob because i thought we were gonna have a really awkward time i i've had enough of the junk lady listen nice nice woman she's had her moments she had a couple things here and there i like how much she loves baby yo she could be in like the baby yo hype group that we're forming here i mean the whole world is basically a baby yo hype group at this point but i had enough of her shit she's telling me how oh dr man listen dr mandible that motherfucker doesn't know shit i'm gonna take dr mandible's word that their fucking husband knows you know his best friends with all these fucking mandalores

doctor unless dr mandible is the guy who taught mankind his finishing move i don't trust dr mandible i was i don't know i like again i i didn't trust him at all i mean i saw dr mandible and i was like oh man too many bugs for this episode i was like not even knowing what was what we were about to embark on that was uh checkoff's bug right there like it was only gonna get worse from there yeah really it was terrible she eats the she likes dragon meat too which we said last episode like it's kind of weird the whole dragon thing but again she the way she talked about dragging me i'm starting to think this stuff might be at least decent not great for a medium rare that's how i like my steak as well so i'm with her on that yeah and let's be honest let's call what it is she doesn't strike me as a medium rare later right she strikes me as someone

that puts ketchup on her steak and goes like oh my trash well done yeah so she she definitely did it um but yeah i am so happy i am so out again no hatred, but it's like we've had our time with her. You could have her every season make a little appearance, but it was like when she's in the cantina and she was throwing the cards down and getting a little extra sass or something, I'm like, I've had enough of the junk lady. Let's move on from her. You know what it reminds me of in a video game?

When even like an Animal Crossing type video game where you have to keep going back to this character to get quests or like whatever and you're like every time you go back it's like oh i have something else i could assign to you now like that's sort of who she is in this universe like mandalorian keeps going and she just keeps assigning him side quests that sidetrack him that's a good point she's tina nook she's tom nook's fucking right hand like the junkyard tom look basically if he was a like a natural raccoon that ate garbage and shit like that instead of he's a tanuki did you know that

no he's a tanuki just like a mario 3 i mean i've dated myself by referencing mario 3 to people but i was tom nook for halloween and i didn't know he was a tanuki and i found that out i was like oh shit look at that so a little animal crossing talk on mandalorian you never know you're gonna get on this pod in the beginning yeah never you honestly never know so the mandalorian sets off on this uh voyage with the frog lady immediately baby yo starts eating her eggs which like oh baby yo come on man this is the last of her bloodline she's only got so many in this little canteen and i love like every time you put one of those mouth there was a little popping noise it was like that was so funny i was so i it was tough i mean it kind of is like being a parent where i was like oh you little bastard but you're so cute but like what the

fuck man and i felt so bad for i'm thinking of little um i'm thinking of the mom from finding nebo and how she's protecting her eggs and i'm like baby yo is basically that evil fish in the beginning i was like don't do this to baby yo don't make him like this like monster however as we learned he loves the taste of frogs so it's kind of like we came to blame mando because he's driving the ship and the frog i don't know there was a lot of emotions going on they look delicious let's call it spade a spade they looked gooey they looked uh uh like fruit gushers oh bob you say that i i might have eaten a frog egg if there was one right next to you now you say that it might have so because like yeah they did have like that little glow too and it's like they didn't have little tadpole tails it would have freaked you out and it just that pop kind of made it like oh

that's a little juicy in there a little little uh juice filling so yeah i kind of loved it he kept going back for more which i assume is maybe going to be brought up later i feel like the frog lady's going to notice at some point and be like what the fuck i have two eggs left how did she never know that was the other thing too he just kept eating i'm like at some point it's like again the how like my kids halloween candy it's like sooner or later they're gonna realize i've just been slowly eating their they've touched their halloween candy since october 31st they're down to like the fucking bear there's like a few whoppers left and like the one big reese's that i'm saving for myself the other thing i thought about that um the those eggs and i again i don't know it's dating

me i don't know if this was even around when you were maybe a kid the orbit drink did you guys did you ever have orbit and it was like little balls in this um i don't think so no if you ever look it up or something or i'm sure there there's probably some older heads at home. And it was like, it was this drink, but it had these little balls in them. And I was always like, I've never had it in my life, but it was one of those like 90s drinks that always just seemed so fucking cool.

But I just never had them. But that's kind of what it reminded me of with Baby Yo, just an absolute, an absolute fucking savage move. Let's call it what it is. We're pro Baby Yo. We love Baby Yo. Totally. That eating the last of a entire species is eggs is a and you've been told there's a snack

you're snacking on them yeah it's not even like this is a meal you're fucking just doing it for fun it's like bored eating when you're just like tired and you just i can't go to sleep you just start popping them in your mouth i was i don't want to say i was i was i was upset i was i was disappointed in baby we're not mad we're disappointed yes so up next we have our my favorite scene in the entire episode where two x-wings pull up beside the razor crest and these are new republic x-wings one of the pilots is dave fil, and he's playing the same character he played in last season when he rolls in at the end of episode six. And they say, you know, you got to send us your ping. Basically, license and registration, but in the Star Wars universe.

Kind of a cool scenario there. Mandalorian throws him a may the force be with you, trying to get him off his tail. Like, not even knowing what that means, just knowing it's a thing people in the universe say things that the new republic says and eventually they're like listen if you don't send us this ping we're looking for you know imperial runaways and stuff like that we'll have to take you to the outpost and run your credits there he makes a run for it we get some amazing aerial shots of these x-wings chasing down the razor crest he goes into this ice planet where they say oh my god his ship isn't going to be able to survive the atmosphere. And he like hits a stall break where the ship just drops and free falls.

That was a really cool move. Just very, very, very like Star Wars-y when he does something like that. I think of Rey in The Force Awakens when she like punches the Millennium Falcon so Finn could shoot the TIE Fighter, fighter stuff like that so this was really cool he eventually loses them but the razor crest does crash down and falls into a cave so it leaves him there yeah i i don't know if this is the x-wing versus tie fighter nerdy me coming out or i you know again empire is a lot of dog fighting and stuff like that or just a millennium falcon being chased but i that this was by far my favorite part of the episode just seeing even the x-wings when they turn into the x which means they're basically going into attack mode i was like oh shit and it was just so detailed

like it was just a fucking beautiful dog fight and the way mando kind of like um piloted his his uh rocket or whatever ship um and i guess it doesn't really make a difference because they're both mandalorans but they're not really the same is they're reminding me of just like the way boba fett uses his ship it's just like smart it's like han solo would do shit right and that's that's what i always like is when people are taking these rocket ships that are so far above our brains but they're just doing some old-fashioned like basically scrambling out of the pocket and just doing shit like brett farve you know what i? They're just making shit happen on the move, on the fly. And that's what kind of, I think, always endeared people to Han Solo.

And I like that kind of shit where he's just free falling down. And that planet, too, just was so fucking cool. And it just made such a nice backdrop for all this shit. What I found out yesterday, Jeff D. Lotex had me. The planet was actually the first planet we see in the entire series. It's that ice planet that he's on where that walrus thing kind of jumps up and bites the ship in the first episode so it makes sense you know like he hasn't traveled that far in the universe he's probably within the same i don't know four or five planet systems um so that was really cool i enjoyed the the chase down a lot

and he crashes into this cave he says i don't know what's going to happen here i will be lucky to make it off this ice tomb alive he tells the frog lady and she basically tells him she well she first of all she can't communicate with mandalorian they have that complete language barrier she sees zero the robot the droid from last season is able to hook him up somehow while the mandalorian sleeping to be a translator droid she says listen here's the deal is the last of my family line you made a promise to me the mandalorians apparently when they make promises they keep them so i'm expecting you to keep this promise and get us off this planet get me to my husband kind of really like pulls a uh a guilt card on him in front of baby yo and baby yo looks at him like come on dude she's got you there

but he accepts it he's like listen all dude she's got you there but he accepts it he's like listen all right i get it he gets up he starts working on the ship he's like you're right it was it was a tough look for our guy mando here i mean she's like she's like your code is you come through on everything like the fact she even had to ask him his code when things just went a little bit wrong like it's not like this was during all the other crazy shit that happens later in the episode he's like i guess i guess not i guess i'm gonna break my code the first sign of a fucking problem it was a bad look for mando here i'm a mando fan it was a bad very a very bad look you know what it was it was uh into the spider first when peter b parker's

trying to walk away and miles morales is like really you're just gonna walk away and leave me here and he's like yep i'm gonna walk away and then he looks back and he's like you feel guilty don't you it's like god damn it yes there's i made a note of this too mando between uh with the frog lady and then by the way it just said frog lady that was her name the whole episode yeah i just loved it i was cracking up which is a frog lady is the name um every time she did said something that like pissed him off or baby yo like just not listening like pop some more you know, legacies in his mouth and fucking, uh, Mando would just let out the sigh. And let me tell you, Bob, that sigh is a sigh of a dad, right?

A dad sigh, yeah. My wife, my wife heard me come in, uh, today. It was after I'm making dinner. I'm fighting with the kids. And I just let out the shoe sign. She's like, what, did you run out of propane or something? I was like, nah, it's just the day. It's just been a long day. It's been a long weekend.

It's been a long month. It's been a long life, basically. And that sigh, and I thought, fuck, that's exactly what Mandy – Mando sounds like that a lot. I'm going to keep a sigh count for the rest of the season. We're going to hit some big – I'm going to hit triple digits by the end of the season. Yeah, I mean, he's becoming like a for real dad.

He's experiencing the long road trips. Are we there yet from baby yo? He wants to play with the little ball thing. This is exactly who he's becoming. And shout out to the frog lady too because, I mean, again, you know, we learn with the Tusken Raiders they aren't what we expect. Hacking a fucking droid. Did not see that coming from her. I i actually written down that she reminds me you had your video game

comparison earlier frog lady was basically natalia from golden eye she was always going around getting you in trouble you're gonna fucking die she dies you lose the mission and you're just like this goddamn bitch keeps fucking me up frog lady is natalia from golden eye however i don't but actually natalia from golden eye wasn i don't actually natalia from golden eye wasn't she a computer so this she might actually be based on natalia we're gonna have to we're gonna have to dig into this and she has those i mean we can get to it later in the episode but she has like some some good shots when she gets the spiders off baby yo where it's like maybe something's hidden there ken jack has a theory that maybe she's got like more to her than we

even know and she's a bad guy he's not even positive we discussed it like those eggs may not even be hers oh man this is the thing from what i can understand based on the way this was all set up to me dr mandible does not stand up for just anyone he fucking only goes and to get a ride from a mandalorian where you can't go into hyperdrive all this kind of but by the way i didn't know this until now sublight we do not travel by sublight for a reason there's a reason why those hyperdrives are so expensive because it's a fucking pain in the ass even post empire travel and sublight which i just love that we now know what that's called i never knew as like a casual fan it was called sublight i'm gonna

use that all the time i'm driving up grocery store sublight yeah that i i subscribe to ken jack siri a based on her ability to just fucking hack a robot casually. These eggs may not even be eggs. There may be something more to this. I don't even know what the fuck's going on. It may be a long trap. But to get a ride from the Mandalorian, to get co-signed by Junk Lady, Dr. Mandible speaking up for you, there's more to this. And she fucking, as we'll get into later on, she moves around.

She's crazy. She moves like a villain sometimes. You know what I mean? She has four legs. And I was like, holy shit. And when she uses the tongue, I'm like, oh, the fucking frog lady has more to her. She's a little more – Natalia didn't have that kind of cutting edge to her.

So she's a little bit of the Fomke Janssen character, where she just crushed me with her thighs, which, whoo, that was during puberty when i saw that movie let me tell you mom pom k jansen who still has it to this day holy shit yeah mandalorian starts repairing the ship baby yoda is like making some noises he's like don't just stand there help me out come on get over here he wants baby yoda to basically help him out like a dad like hold the flashlight for me while i work on this and baby yoda alerts him that the frog lady has left so they track her down she's found a hot spring in this little cave and i was

watching this with trent and he said uh the second time i watched it of course he wasn't waiting up till three in the morning but as soon as they go into this cave trent's like it's the mandalorian about to go down on this frog lady like john snow and egret and that killed me and absolutely that visual of those two recreating the john snow egret cave scene man that made me laugh oh god the frog lady oh my imagine that she goes back to the um the planet her husband's there and there's like these little mandalorian eggs it's just like his helmet has eggs oh god sweet tea put that thought into this i know i know he did so immediately as the mandalorian sees her like bathing in the hot spring he's like oh jesus christ he's like no no no no listen you can't do this he starts gathering up the eggs putting them in the canister baby yo

goes to grab one he's like no you can't this is when he's really like he's fed up with the two of these people it's like baby yo go away you put your clothes on like let me get your eggs we got to get back to the ship whatever and as baby yo walks away he sees a bunch of these little like pods on the ground and what i initially thought they were you know we talked about this planet as potentially being elam the kyber crystal planet so i was like oh my god what if that's what that is what if he's going to open one of these and it's going to be like a glowing green crystal and it's like oh my god you're in a kyber crystal cave that would be so cool clem i couldn't think of a worse possibility it's like if you if you opened up a kinder egg

and and you had just some shit in there there was a dead spider or i guess an unborn spider in this thing it was surrounded by green like i don't know webbing slime baby yoda puts it in his mouth there's slime dripping from it it's gross and you can pretty much tell from the second he cracks that egg open what's what's about to happen the egg starts shaking he starts running back to the mandalorian waddling back. And I compared this to when a child is running at you crying and saying, I'm sorry, before you know what they did. Like, you're like, all right, it's fine. What like what happened? And all these eggs start shaking, they start hatching, spiders start crawling towards the Mandalorian. And there's a solid

five seconds where that guy just does not know what to do he's looking around not making any noises not saying anything like he grabs baby yoda and he's just like oh my god we see varying sizes one shows up it's like the size of a fucking hyena one shows up it's it's the size of a minivan one shows up it's the biggest spider we've ever seen it looks like ralph mccorry concept art from empire strikes back but that's not what i was thinking of i was watching this through my shirt through my fingers cringing i was ready to throw up this was the most disgusting scary scene in the history of the mandalorian um like you said the frog lady eventually got on all fours started like actually jumping around like a frog they made it back to the ship but man

like kevin put up a video last night you think they're gonna be safe when they make it back to the ship no the the spiders just infiltrated immediately they infiltrate the cockpit they get on baby yoda's head he makes like a noise where he's like oh get it off my head frog lady shoots him clem what do you think of this spider scene i don't even want to talk about anymore you just fucking take the reins so as soon as i saw those eggs i don't know there was just something i'm like this feels like a spider egg kind of a thing i don't know what it was i've never seen a spider egg thank god in real life um baby yo has an egg eating problem we've learned this he has it's it's a problem literally and figuratively like he's killing species and he's

getting spiders to potentially kill him he's angering them a problem on every fucking thing i don't know i bet spider isn't terrible i don't think it's good i imagine it's like a stringy chicken if i had to guess we're going we're guessing the foods of everything because these fuckers keep eating weird shit that was the question someone said what do you think this spider tasted like so you answered that for them what do you think you know what i have no you said stringy chicken i figured it would taste like when uh vibs brought in those like crickets for lowering the bar everyone said they were like uh sunflower seeds kind of i kind of picture something like that i could see that when

i say chicken i mean like it definitely has like a like they say a gamey bird like there's it's mussy it's a fucking spider right right? Like, on an ice planet. This is my problem, Bob. This, when you were going, you know, through your fingers all scared, I was screaming at my TV. And I said, Benny Offenweiss, you motherfuckers. We were told about ice spiders the size of hounds from season one of Game of Thrones. And it was brought up every so often by Old Nan and everyone else raised in Winterfell

and how the Dark Knight was coming and there was ice spiders the size of hounds. And we got ice spiders the size of hounds. We got ice spiders the size of spiders. We got ice spiders the size of fucking, I don't know, was it an elephant? Bigger than an elephant. We had ice spiders all over the place

in a fucking Mandalorian episode. Why couldn't we get ice spiders in Game of Thrones? So I got mad about the final season of Game of Thrones all over again, especially the Battle of Winterfell, which is where everything just fell apart in my humble opinion. So I was upset. We were

both in two different places and we were both very unhappy in those two different places. And then the other thing I wrote down, which he did use it later on use the fucking flamethrower you goddamn asshole the whole time i was thinking that the whole time clem i was like use the flamethrower this is exactly what they did in arachnophobia exactly exactly it's like mando has had like a raid fucking thing on his arm the whole time he just didn't use like

raid spider killer oh i was so so that like it gets me even more mad about the flamethrower it's like you use it and it doesn't work for like battle purposes and then when you should use it you don't use it at all it drove me fucking bananas so i was screaming on my tv like a goddamn asshole the entire time over game of thrones and that shitty ass flamethrower that is oh for a million well it did it did work at the end of this episode you got to give credit where it's due at the end of this episode he got some spiders out of the cockpit they start to take off another giant spider fell on the ship which like you had to see coming you knew they weren't getting out of there unscathed after that and we hear some pew

pew pew pew pew and you think for a second, who could that be? And my first thought was actually the same first thought. I think Jeff and Ken Jack might've said this when we did our recap. I thought for a second, grief, carga, Cara Dune, did they find him? Did they come back? Are they saving the Mando? But Nope. This is the two X-Wing pilots from before they said, Hey, we ran your warrant and you do have a warrant for your arrest but we also checked the records and you locked up three prisoners you also tried to save the life of a rebel commander that is uh the egghead that bill burr referred to in episode six last season so they were like we're gonna basically let you go mandalorian's like hey how about you help me fix my ship and get out of here

they're like how about you fuck off sir we ship and get out of here? They're like, how about you fuck off, sir? We're letting you go. You should be grateful for that. They just leave him. And he says, all right, get in the cockpit. Says that to the frog lady in Yoda. He says, we got a long voyage ahead of us. Got to seal up the cockpit. Use the bathroom if you have to.

That doesn't get referenced often, the bathroom in Star Wars. And that was the episode. I saw a lot of people giving this episode shit a lot of people saying this was the worst episode ever a lot of people saying one of the worst episodes ever i would put this personally only above the toro calican episode from last season i would say it'll definitely wind up being my least re-watched episode because of the spiders like i legit have a fear of spiders where i don't like watching them if i'm watching something and a spider shows up on the screen like uh the haunting of fly manor

that was that netflix halloween series they put out there was a scene in that with a real spider i couldn't look at the screen on the song i was like you you tell me when the spider's off the screen and i'll look back so it'll wind up being my least rewatched but i think even an episode like this which isn't an amazing like we didn't leave this episode being like oh my god what a show we just left it being like that was another episode of the mandalorian even the quote-unquote worst episodes pretty damn good pretty damn enjoyable yeah i was i was like on a post mando high after like i was like oh my god that was great but i think it was 37 minutes. It wasn't a long episode. Honestly, I think people would have felt different because they could have done it

because it kind of continued from the first episode. They could have just put a double episode out like they did the last year on the first one because unless the first episode of this season was like 50-something minutes, they could have made a double one where it was really not a full two-hour experience. And I still think it would have been just fine for us but yeah i was kind of with you i mean i didn't hate it by any means and it was definitely better than that one that you mentioned um it i don't know where it is it's second to last third it's probably bottom tier for me but it was perfectly fine i didn't hate it um the spider thing doesn't bother me in terms of any of that, but I understand it.

I thought it was Boba. Oh, wow. Because I thought maybe he, because again, I fucking love the guy. I was like, oh, he's been following him. He's tracking him just like he tracked Han Solo. He knew how he thinks just like he knew what Han Solo thinks, and he was basically tracking him ever since dating back to when we see him at the end of episode one obviously the it ended up being the rebels uh i kind of like how you can get out of like essentially like a speeding ticket for like arresting a bunch of people for them yeah which

brings me to my question have you ever been pulled over bab yeah i was pulled over once before i was on my way to a chiropractor appointment actually i was late i late for that there's like two three uh there's probably three or four years ago actually now i'm thinking about it i got pulled over for speeding and it was one of those like a cop was driving towards me or he had just turned towards me and i didn't see him and as soon as i drove past i was like oh i'm about to get pulled over i'm definitely going too fast did get pulled over but luckily I have a family member who is a state trooper in New Jersey state police so I gave him that card and he you know gave it back and he said have a good day I got a PBA card from a buddy once a few years ago and I think I don't know I think they do

expire after time but I was always like shit I need to use this right now I want to use it and we said my buddy's name he's he's in the NYPD and it was awesome. I appreciate him giving me out of the blue, but I've never used it. Maybe I should just get into like a small little misdemeanor to see how far I've been pulled over. I think twice in my life. I first time was in Clavarack when I was 19 years old, checking out Sienna and Clavarack, New York. If anyone's ever driven the taconic it's

fucking notorious that's i think how they like keep their shitty town afloat is they just pull over people they they you know bring you to court and they take your money um and it was it's such a popular place on law and order a guy gets a speeding ticket in clavrak and they mention it and i went to the fucking court to fight not fight the ticket just hoping to get it reduced or whatever so i didn't get points on my license my dad came with me because i was pretty young at the time he wanted just to go up see if that would help and i was the only person i had like 20 people who didn't get their fucking uh thing like you know dismissed or reduced or whatever and i was like and you know me i've always just been like nice guy quiet not yeah and i was like i'm being

made an example out of i was going going, you said 80 and a 55. I think that was a little much. I was going down a hill and I was not exactly speeding. So I'm still pissed at this day. And I got pulled over the Bear Mountain, whatever, Bear Mountain Expressway or whatever. And they let me off. It was like 45 and a 40, something like fucking.

That's nuts. I was happy about that. But those are my two things. This is the other note I made. This is a problem that they'll never probably address on the show, but they should. Every, like, every, like, couple hours you're flying in that spaceship, you're going to be like, oh, like, a spider on me?

Like, because, you know, it goes like a bug or you see a mouse or something. Your brain is always fucking, like, frightened that it's in there. If you have, like, a thousand spiders in your cockpit at one one point you're thinking there's one that got away there's one that's been hiding like that is worse the tiny ones that you fear it's not even the big ones it's the ones that could get into the little crevices the little cracks of the armor yeah there's one on your you're right by your picture don't do that don't do that that was fucked up that was messed up i'm sorry that was that was aggressive there that was aggressive but um yeah so that was that was basically and i that was my last time i made

i love that the razor crest is now in basically the same shitty state as the millennium falcon always was in i mean it's even worse shape it's like you get the little like um when you see like the little sparks flying and there's actual like craters in the ship you know how fucked up it is so it's like from here on out we're going on duct tape and guts basically cobwebs everywhere it's just literally like floating there it's like someone just like pushed it in space and it was like all right let's see how far it goes yeah and like you said i love that they did the whole bathroom thing like that's kind of like when you're driving like a little hoopty or a shitty car it's like all right guys like all right we're going down a hill turn off you know everyone like lean forward and we need to get every inch out of this gas we can

and this thing is not going to be able to hit high speed so we're all going to have to kind of like row together here so like your friend's cars growing up where it's always like someone gets in the passenger seat and they have to unlock the back door manually for someone like it's always something like that let's get into these questions we got a couple good ones this week thank you to everyone who sent them in if you want to ask a question always go to mine or clem's twitter feed on sunday we always tweet out a call and uh you could you could submit them there so the first question comes from dalton burge he asks questions pretty often thank you for listening dalton he says i really expected the child to do the magic hand thing this episode when the spider showed up would you rather see its force ability increase this season and become more self-reliant or have

it stay helpless and need mando for everything so i actually didn't even think he would do the magic hand thing and i don't know why i didn't because when i read that tweet i was like yeah it would have made some sense i think he was probably just too scared he didn't know what to do but i think i like baby yoda when he's relying on the mandalorian more i like when the magic hand thing is like a very special thing i think of last season when he saved everyone's life in that bar when like the incinerator stormtrooper came in and he did like the double hands and sent that guy throughout the door like Like that was awesome. And it was awesome because it happened so rarely when he saved the

Mandalorian's life in episode two, by lifting up the mud horn. Like these are moments that you remember because they happen so rarely. It's not, you don't get one, an episode, you get maybe three or four a season. So I would actually lean on that side. Yeah. I would prefer it as well. I was, I was kind of thinking both episodes, last episode and then this episode. All right, are we going to get the baby yo,

some kind of crazy force shit popping off here? And I am happy both times that they never ended up using it. Again, it's like you always do have this nuclear weapon at your disposal, but it's almost like it's a different version of like the Hulk in the Infinity War and Endgame where it's like he doesn't even know what the fuck he's doing where the hulk is ever going to come out and uh i kind of like that because again it's like it's you have to kind of like neuter superman and all the capital that's that's the thing you have to like

you have to lessen it because the mandalorian is still a pretty tiny like self-contained story you introduced like jedi and shit to some of the stuff in this world it's like well yeah why doesn't he just explode everyone's brain then exactly and then you know i didn't have to didn't have to like sleep for like days after he was fucking people up for a bit so you still need to have him kind of take that kind of stuff maybe at the worst possible moment but like you said mando was like frozen with fear i actually watched um ghostbusters on halloween with the wife and uh it's like when she's like how you doing over there he's like i am so frozen with fear right now like i can barely i can't even like think like that's what they were probably at that point where the mudhorn or whatever it is maybe it was a little

more of a um like gradual thing but i almost compare it to stranger things it was cool when 11 at the last second would just start fucking people up with her shit but when it became like all right i'm gonna get myself into the mode i think she lost a little of her luster you know what i mean as like a super duper weapon or whatever you want to call it so the last i'd love to see baby yo do it but only at like the last possible moment even at a time where you he might not even be on screen like oh shit baby yo just came out of nowhere and he's fucking up with the force exactly and i love the little like misdirections they would do last season i remember episode three there was one where it looked like he was

gonna like help him and then the other bounty hunters other mandalorians come in and save him there's the one with zero the robot where it looks like he you know explodes the the brain of it and then you look behind him and the mandalorian just shot him. Like, I love stuff like that, where it looks like he's going to do it. And then it's like, ah, no, we're just kidding. The next question comes from MJ. She says, why does Mando say, may the force be with you to the New Republic pilots

when in season one, he didn't know what Baby Yoda was doing with that creature when it saved him? I think it's just something that people say. I don't think he knows what the force is. I don't think he knows that it's connected to the magic hand thing i think he's just kind of a may peace be with you it's one of those you know yeah i'm thinking it's uh like god bless you like we all say yeah i don't know the whole story behind it it's like may the force be with you

it's just a nice thing you say and it makes sense like it's right after the death stars the second death star is blown up like the war is over the new republic is running things that would probably be what they go by like the in god we trust may the force be with you like one of those things yep yep and again um like han knows what the of the like has heard of the force back in star wars stuff and then he finds out more about it like i think mando's in the same kind of way wait till mando finds out that little green guy is like the fucking force yeah for real yeah the force is with you mando every fucking episode it's awesome we love them more than you realize so chris mahoney wants to know are we expecting next week's episode to drop more clues about boba fett since this week's felt like a filler also what the fuck happened to moff gideon good question i think next week we will get

um amando clue of some sort because here's the big um like i'm looking at this season as two halves really because episode five is directed and written by dave filoni i think i mean i would be very very very surprised if that wasn't the introduction of ahsoka i think they would probably let dave filoni like bring in the character that he basically he didn't create George Lucas created Ahsoka but he basically created everything we know about that character so I think they'll let Dave introduce her in episode five I think we'll get Moff Gideon either like right before then episode four or around that time episode five you need to he's the big baddie so you do need to like show him a little sparingly yeah you need to have a little hit to bowser mario even though

it's he's on world eight bowser has at least make an appearance you think you're gonna fight him and world three at some point totally that kind of makes sense i honestly forgot all about him i'm like boba centric and then it's like each episode kind of is its own thing i forgot that like the big dude is him and obviously the dark saber and all that kind of shit so um i feel like next episode they have to get something between those two monster um characters how many episodes are there this season i believe there's eight so i think there's six left has to be has to be then in episode three because again filler uh a separate story a setup whatever you want to call it like this is this was probably as quiet as you're

going to get for like long-term part and again frog lady could be the fucking whole key to this whole thing she could be fucking mr moth himself imagine if moth gideon's slinging that dick in frog lady he's the husband that's been seeing the mandalorian she's like yeah star wars gotchas like cloud city i'm telling you fucking uh darth jar jar darth frog lady let's fucking go oh that's funny that's so funny and the last question we got is from blake grubbs and this was this was a good one he said after seeing the interactions between the new republic pilots and Mando this episode, do you think Mando will team up with or be supported by the New Republic at some point in the future against Moff Gideon? I think the answer to that question is yes.

I think Mando, you know, inside, he likes to put on this hard Beskar shell, quite literally. But on the inside, we know where his heart is at this point. We know he's a good guy. He's kind of a Han Solo type. When the chips are down, he's going to show up at the end blow the guys out of your way so you could you know fire that missile into the death star i think that's who mando is at this point and even if he's thinking hey i'm you know my own guy i'm not teaming up with anybody he's going to wind up teaming up with the new republic at some point he's a good guy come on he's leaning you know

what i mean that's a lot of things you're hearing during the politics these days he leans one way or another i think he's going to be leaning towards them i actually think boba is going to be leaning towards all right tell me i said moff how do i say the last name moff gideon moff get moff moff gideon i say that moff gideon okay i don't want to have an emperor thing going on here um all right first of all i guess as of now we have our first potential our blake of the year this is our blake of the year our first contestant for blake of the year if anyone else shout out blake rubs you're the current leader in the blake of the year for the my mom's basement portion of the blake of the year um i'm gonna say i think mando goes with

like you said the the new republic or whatever and then I think Boba and Moff team up together. Because someone tweeted at us last week how, I guess, in the Clone Wars, Boba used to hunt Jedi. That was what he used to do. Yeah, because of the whole Mace Windu thing and his dad. Yeah, exactly. So I think that him and the Mandalorian will probably team up. They're looking for Jedi together.

I think that's how they kind of get together. And then, again, mega powers explode at some point, and that's where the line's going to be drawn. I can see him and Mo mandalorian will probably team up they're looking for jedi together i think that's how they kind of get together and then again mega powers explode at some point and that's where the line's gonna be drawn i can see him and moff going together boba and the new republic going or excuse me mando and the new republic going together baby yo fucking is the briefcase atop the ladder and it's going to be a fucking shit show and no matter what what they do Boba, I could see this season either being the conflict season and the next season being the team-up season or the opposite. And either way, I'm hyped for that because I could just picture Star Wars Celebration. Imagine, say this season is the conflict season, next season is team-up. When we get that first shot of Boba and the Mandalorian putting on their armor together, people are just gonna lose their minds in the celebration hall i'm excited for that to come back i'm excited

for star wars celebration to come back i'm excited for the next episode of the mandalorian chapter 11 season 2 episode 3 the numbers are just all what order do you recommend watching the mandalorian we're gonna get that eventually you know we're gonna get that of it because they're they'll do a flashback episode and then people will be like should we watch them in chronological order or listen people everything i recommend the release order everything mcu star wars this that the next thing release order i always say watch things in the order they came out because then you'll you'll have the same questions everyone else had everyone else will be able to answer the same questions you have so that's about it for my mom's basement this week don't forget if you're looking to get 3g the promo code has changed from basement to

robbie so go to 3g.com number three chi.com promo code r-o-b-b-i-e clem any closing remarks you are a robbie with a bie i think that's that's the big thing everyone obviously knows that they follow you on twitter you're you like a robbie with a by you would have been a lot more into the music i don't think you'd be into the nerve you'd be like you'd be you'd be in like a third rehab stint by you were fucking with a by robbie with bys are always bad boys in my mind where the bys they're kind of like uh you know they're just they're just normal robbies and again this is no offense to the bad boy robbies but you guys know who you are you guys know who you are you guys are a little crazy Robbies you're a little edgy out there BY Robbies again I don't think this was the greatest episode it wasn't that long but I mean we got I think we had some fun over it

and like that's honestly all you can ask for at this point and uh fucking thumbs up on my end yeah absolutely what do they say it's like like pizza. Even the worst slices are pretty damn good. And feed that goddamn kid, man. Feed baby Yoda so he stops eating eggs. All you got to do. My son keeps wanting to eat snacks. And I'm like, oh, shit. If I give him chicken nuggets, he'll stop eating every goddamn cracker in the house.

So that's your thing. Stop having him eat an entire fucking species. Unless it turns out that species that we're rooting for to not fucking get wiped out is like the end of civilization as we know so i apologize that was just a last second rant as being a dad here i just have to help my guy mando out right now no it's it's a very fair rant it was very warranted all right guys we'll talk to you guys next week
