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. The way I watched this one, Clem, a bit strange. I woke up in the middle of the night, it was about 4 a.m. Thursday into Friday, and I just couldn't go back to sleep knowing another Mando episode was out there. So I was kind of like that meme of like Squidward when he just opens one eye, he's like twitching his eye at night. I had to wake up.

I watched it. There were no scary spiders in this one. I was very thankful for that. I was able to get back to sleep afterwards. Well, I kind of was. Kind of wasn't because there was some stuff that fired me up so much that I was not wanting to go back to sleep after this one. Did you enjoy this week's edition of The Mandalorian?

I enjoyed this week's edition of The Mandalorian. I was in this weird like 1 o'clock a.m., woke up not knowing if it was like 11 o'clock or 6 o'clock in the morning. And I looked and a passing moment where I was like, do I just go for it here and try to stay up until 3 a.m.? But again, when you get as old as me, you're like, if I do that, there's, there's like a chance I just die. And like, not like your typical, like, I end up, I'm dead. Like, again, I turn into Thanos ash, and I just disappear because my body's like, dude, we are well past that I can't, if I'm ever up to the point where I'm drunk, like out at a night out drinking, whatever. And I hear the birds chirp as the sun comes up, I think I cease to exist. I die on the spot. I become a forest ghost. I cannot afford to do that.

So I was like, nope, we're just going to wait until the next day. So I watched it 9 a.m. on Friday. It gets me. The Mandalorian makes me like get all my shit done. I have to get the kids out by myself, daycare for AJ, see Anna on the bus, and then I get to go home. And I think I had a decent blog up too, and I just kind of just go, all right, we're ready to rock baby.

So it felt fucking good. So it was, and like you said, very good episode. We'll get all into it, but like I had a little bit of everything. And you know what? We'll get into this as well. Your call early on that this might be the armor season might be the early call of the century Clem. That was fantastic.

I have it in the notes. Armor's crushing it this season. It's just absolutely crushing it. Armour's crushing it this season. It's just absolutely crushing it. The armour is crushing it. I'm so happy too because there's so many times you hear how important something is in a show and they never really like show

you how important it is and that kind of was like the armour of the first season and to someone like me who's not a diehard Star Wars person and maybe they talked about it in like the Clone Wars or any of the other like canon shit. Maybe that's the case. I had no clue. I mean, runaway winner, MVP.

That's MVP right now. This is Russell Wilson, first half of the, or first like five games of the season. Now we'll see though, because Russell Wilson's cooled off a little bit. That's my sports analogy for the episode. I'll get it out early. I feel like it's gotten out to a really nice jump.

I feel like they're going to probably scale back on it now because they've let it be known armor is very important in this world and this shit is the fucking bees knees yeah it's gonna be tough to outdo this episode he went like full happy gilmore at the batting cage he just started running taking shots he didn't care oh god that's so that's it gets a great call it. So before we get into the episode, let's remind everybody about 3C and their Delta 8 THC. Once again, 3C is the best in the industry, and they actually saved me a couple times this week. I'll talk about that in a bit. Delta 8 is a federally legal version of THC. Its effects are a perfect hybrid of CBD and Delta 9 THC, which you would find in marijuana.

Gives you that similar buzz and all the medicinal effects of Delta-9 without the laziness, the anxiety, the paranoia, the mental fogginess that comes with it. You know what this did for me this week, Clem? On Friday, it was Friday the 13th, I had like a real Friday the 13th. I stubbed my toe worse than I've ever stubbed it in my entire life on Friday the 13th. I'll spare the listeners the visual of what it looks like

because I love our listeners. I don't want you guys to puke in your cars and wherever you're listening to this podcast right now. Right afterwards, I take a little nap. I took my glasses off. I pick the glasses up after the nap. They fell apart like Mando's ship, like the Razor Crest. I don't know if you could see. I got them taped right now, like just tape holding them together because glasses repair shops don't open until Monday morning. So it was a whole thing and after both of those things you want to scream you want to go ah fuck but you don't you hit a little three chi and you go it's gonna be okay it's not that bad life is good the little things hey they don't mean that much it's like in the commercials when they say eat a snickers you'll yourself. I don't think a Snickers will actually do that for you.

I think 3Chi will, though. You must be 21 or older to purchase. Once again, 3Chi isn't just the best in the Delta 8 industry. They invented the industry. So if you're even looking towards Delta 8, no other companies or even options. These are the guys that invented it. These are the ones you want to go with. If you go to 3Chi.com right now, that's number 3, C-H-I.com.

You can shop for the vapes gummies tinctures oils can make homemade edibles all that stuff use the promo code robbie r-o-b-b-i-e at checkout and you will receive five percent off your order you must be 21 or older to purchase once again let me give you a little uh a little sales pitch to the people too which again i think basically three chi having like an a hundred percent approval rating from everyone at bar school and everyone that's even just my friends and stuff like that. Definitely my mom's basement listeners, a hundred percent approval rating.

I always get DMs. I'm giving this one to you for free, Bob, but this was I was going to use this for pod father. Cause we have this as well and I'm going to give it to these listeners too. Cause I do imagine there's some crossover, but not a hundred percent. Right? Yeah. Listen listen let's just be honest here there's probably another lockdown coming we have spikes coming up with covid and all this shit you gotta stock up now because it's gonna probably be everything getting everything

in the mail and all this like just get it sooner rather than later that's what i say don't wait just get your promo code robbie get it in get your three chi and then as we're just sitting in our houses for maybe a month a couple months you just sit back fucking cut all the bullshit out and just be in a good place that's all absolutely absolutely all right let's get into this episode this was a great episode our intro was awesome very Apollo 13 inspired Bryce Dallas Howard even wound up tweeting about that said yep that was very on purpose a little homage to my dad that stuff just is the most wholesome thing in the world that gives me chills I'm like oh look at that little family Star Wars connection what a beautiful thing we have here um and they touched

down it's too the howards are just a great family good what a great family family aggressive development's one of my favorites as well and uh like for the people don't understand like the razor's crest going through the atmosphere and burning up as a little apollo 13 the entry pod going back and through the atmosphere. Oh, 13. Great fucking movie. Fantastic. I'm like, I'm a kind of a bitch.

I admit I can't rewatch it though. Even though I know what happens and I know what happens history wise. I know what happens in the movie. I just get too nervous for my guys and the kids watching the school at their front. Just kidding. I'm getting Christmas. Just thinking like that baby. Yo is one.

Like the Apollo 13 reentry is like two. I just can't watch. I don't want to get in want the end i don't watch mufasa's unfortunate passing there's a lot of things i just fast forward through so yeah apollo 13 that was one of those movies i remember watching it for the first time in school and in school they always wheel in the movie thing and it's like some kids are going to pay attention some kids are not going to and that was one that by the end of it it hooked everybody even like the kids that were too cool for the movies we're like watching it paying attention by the end great movie if you've never seen apollo 13 go watch it tom hanks pause the podcast yeah i mean what are you listening to us for and that is pal 13 might be like mal rushmore of best school movies because

that's one that's good enough it's like educational for school but like it keeps everyone's attention and it's like entertaining enough like there weren like it keeps everyone's attention and it's entertaining enough like there weren't a lot of movies you could get a hollywood movie in school and it usually goes one way or the other where it's like kind of a jokey shitty movie and it's like you know or just that it has the entertainment but not much of a thing for the teachers or it teaches you a shit and it's dry as fuck paul 13 is that perfect fucking middle ground there so shout out paul 13 didn't think we'd get into that today we're gonna do a commentary for that one day i think um if clint could re-watch it so he reunites the frog lady with her husband the intro is hysterical by the way i laughed out loud when the razor crest

like slowly slowly slowly is about to touch down and then the thing blows out it goes to the left i made this comparison on lights cover barstool but it was like family guy when peter's slowly going down the stairs he's like you'd be very careful and then he just falls down the entire staircase i love that i love the mon calamari that he hired to fix his ship wearing like a sweater just a normal human sweater that made me laugh too he reunites the frog lady with her husband they have an adorable wholesome reuniting i guess this would be a viral video in the star Wars universe like lady reunites with her husband after not seeing each other for years run toward each other they give each other hugs and Mando's like listen beautiful story and all that but I need to find more of my kind can you lead me to

them so he's brought over to a little cantina diner type thing they had chowder nozzles coming from the the roof that baby yoda got a little thing put onto his octopus was in there it was like went on his face that was all gross this was kind of just like a seafood planet you know you had the mon calamari you had the the davey jones looking fuckers the quorin you had the frog people this was just an aquatic reptile type planet so he's told hey go with the quorn in the cantina they know more mandos go on like a sail barge with them this was a bad idea this i'm gonna just spoilers this was a bad idea and oh my god if you want to talk about getting afraid with baby yoda things this might

be the coup de gras as they say yeah the 9 a.m triggered at 9am. This is where I have to find my happy spot. Like 9am is too early, but like 10 o'clock is too late. I need to find like maybe before the kids get home from school or something. Cause baby Yoda being in this most peril that early in the day kind of fucked me up and it gets the heart really pumping. First of all, when Mando's landing the,

uh, the spaceship and he's like, I need your hand. I thought he was taking a token, a baby. Yo, like, yo, use your hand i thought he was taking a talking a baby yo like yo fucking use your hand to land my ass that's what i would have said i was hoping we got a rogue spider no rogue spiders or anything like that i loved i loved the atat looking thing fishing oh yeah i should have mentioned that that it was like a scrapped atat the legs they used

that was awesome yeah i i always love when it's you know a little bit of the old stuff or they repurpose something like that which i mean again i'm a sucker for all that uh old kind of stuff uh frog man it said speaking frog maybe laugh out loud this dude by the way listen i it was a very cute thing like he said the meeting i could see the youtube video it's like wife meets husband after like perilous journey and it's like traveled in sublight speed and you know youtube always has the capital letters and all that shit um i i absolutely like i get that dude this is the fucking guy dr mandible was like oh he's a fucking heavy hitter again dr mandible sus is sus is that the word yeah yeah totally sus mad sus can i say mad sus yeah yeah yeah okay i'm gonna say mad sus

uh oh i sent one hunted today on my Giants victory lap. Is that still a thing? I don't think it's a thing. You know what? That was never a thing for people that look like me. So I can't even answer that question. Yeah, this isn't a basement term right here. Yeah, it's a true thing.

And my last note from like the first video is R.P. My dog, Admiral Ackbar, made me upset again the way he went out. He went out like a fucking pussy in that movie um oh the chowder host too dude that chowder it must be terrible listen gross that looks gross it's like dude I'm ordering chowder and I understand it's a chowder planet probably I'm sure it's like you go to you go to Maine everyone has lobster you go to Boston everyone has new clem chowder but it's like yo give at least put it in the kitchen that's the speed rack of the bar do you even know what the speed rack is it's like where all the liquors are like where

all the liquors are at bars it's like the easy ones and they just make you a drink instead of using the shelf okay yeah that is the straight up just dirt chowder they give you has fucking things living in it attacking your fucking little baby you might have brought to the bar um wasn't was was very upset about that whole chowder are you a a chowder guy? You know, I think I've had chowder like twice, so I can't call myself a chowder guy, but I like it. Like both times that I've had it, it's both times that I went to Boston. I've been like, oh, I got to get chowder. Like it's available. Yeah. So they did not. They absolutely. One of the times I got chowder was backstage at a UFC fight, and it was delicious. It was in Boston. The thing about the chowder, too, is the chowder has the bread bowl,

which is an elite combo. Oh, yeah. It's like with tomato soup, you have the grilled cheese server. It's like, of course, it fucking tastes good in a bread bowl. Everything tastes good with bread. That's why bread is bad for you. It's fucking full of carbs. Of course, it tastes good.

I'm personally not a big – people always give me shit for this. I'm not a seafood guy. I when i was a kid with it i can't even smell it it gives me the willies but i love a good corn chowder chicken corn chowder i just like the substance i mean we're entering chowder season right now i mean it's fucking chilly outside right now so um i'm a big chowder guy it's just i'm not a clam chowder or anything like that so i just want to make sure my guy was my guy bob was a chowder guy i'm happy to hear that oh yeah i am if they figure out a way to make this i don't know clean and suitable for galaxy's edge it would be cool looking that being said it'd be cool looking you know in a little bar nozzle even it could be for like drinks doesn't have to be for chowder maybe it'd be a little like closer to a fountain uh like nozzle that could be cool so he goes on this

this big ship this deadliest catch type ship with these quarrin like i said and it felt like deadliest catch like the shot they came in it was like all right here we go we're about to go catch a big thing and one of them says to mando oh you ever see one of these things eat before you should show the kid he'll get a kick out of it brings him over to the edge and i was so naive so innocent in this whole exchange i thought oh we're gonna watch this thing eat baby yoda's probably gonna laugh it's gonna be a cute moment he fucking eats this thing into the mouth of i don't even know what this thing was they said the name of it but it was a huge creature it had like 10 mouths where baby yoda was in the egg but it like swallowed it and then swallowed again then swallowed it again mando dove in right after it which man you want to earn some respect in my

book that's how you defend baby yo well first of all don't let him get thrown into that thing but if he does you know you're diving headfirst after it they trap him they say get the best guard armor again showing us how valuable this armor is that everywhere this guy goes people are trying to steal it from him. He doesn't know what to do pretty much. He's like holding onto the cage, trying to breathe, kind of going down for baby Yoda. And then all of a sudden, three Mandalorians pop down, go on a rampage, destroy every Quarren on this ship in two seconds flat. We're getting dropkicks.

We're getting 360 Hurricane Ranas. We're getting everything you could imagine. They save the Mandalorian out of this cage. And it was a mirrored shot to when he gets saved as a child, when this female Mandalorian reaches her hand out. It was like, oh, that's cool. And then he says, go get the child. He's in there.

One of them dives in, takes her two seconds, comes right back up with the child. The carriage is a little dented, so you're going to have to get another one of those. out to our guy quill who originally made that thing rest in peace pour one out for him pour out of blue milk but then we get this massive massive reveal it's a massive reveal for the people that knew it was a massive reveal and then for some people it was just an introduction of a new character but i have a feeling if you're in the basement it was probably a massive reveal for you this mandalorian takes her helmet off and it's bo katan a character we know from the

clone wars from rebels uh immediately i loved the mandalorian's reaction he was just like oh jesus not again where'd you get that armor he anyone takes the helmet off he's like i don't believe this and she quickly explains to him listen i am bo. You know, I'm the last of my line. I got this armor from my line. I've had it forever. I was born on Mandalore. And I'm looking to get back there, she says. And kind of says to her, the two people she's with, oh, he's one of them.

When he says, why did you take the helmet off? She's like, you're child of the watch. Which we don't really know what it is from uh the mandalorian if you're into the clone wars if you're into rebels you have a hint of okay that this is a faction of death watch which bo katan was originally a part of and then she frayed away from uh after her sister died or actually not even after her sister died right before her sister died bo katan's sister was obi-wan's love interest in the clone wars this was the woman who obi-wan offered to leave the jedi order for

she was murdered on her throne by darth maul intense ass episode if you want to check that out it's a season 5 episode 14 15 and 16 of the clone wars that's like the the most important arc with death watch and bo katan and whatnot before you get to Rebels. Then you get to Rebels. It's, you know, very important as well. What did you think of this entire sequence of events, Clem, as a guy who's not really a Clone Wars guy? Okay, so starting back to when the fucking squid people,

which I just wrote, fuck these squid people. What are they called? Quarren. Quarren? Motherfuckers. All right right i smelled this plot out immediately and i'm like mando's treating this shit so cool he must know that everything's fine and then he gets betrayed i'm like mando i'm i'm gonna start grading him as a parrot from here on out and you should yeah you're a pot father he's yeah he's at like a C-D plus right now because he's let him get into a couple sticky situations. I mean, he's lost Baby Yoda, what, like two times in three episodes, right?

And like, gone. Like, this thing is the most important thing in the galaxy right now. And he just keeps fucking, and it's like, he knows how important he is and how, like, sought after. He has a granted, this one was more for his armor than it was Baby Yoda. But nonetheless, like, these guys don't know what the fuck they'll just kill the baby they don't give a shit um by the way sorry for the little detour here all those star wars fans and those star wars fans being outraged i think they took a couple tweets like kevin smith's tweet which was jokey saying genocide and everyone's like star fit like listen star wars i'm mad at kevin smith for that

it's crazy it's crazy but i will say like what if yoda was eating the eggs because those are the frog people are sith people i think that's a possibility i think there's a people think he's like incubating them you know he's forced incubating them he also just like frog so i don't think that that whole like quote unquote controversy um that's ridiculous was kind of silly but i just thought it was ridiculous in in general um but that shit drove me absolutely crazy is how he just let baby go get in and then i'm telling you losing that stroller as a dad that's a five fucking star stroller you can't just buy that shit on amazon because this was made for you whatever like bluetooth and like wi-fi synced and you know it works works with your Alexa or your fucking Google home.

That thing was connected to everything. You can't just have it made again. Cause the dude who made it, all you said, RP and peace Gonzo. This is going to be a problem the rest of the season. Cause he has to either carry baby. Yo, baby. Yo is a model his way places. I honestly think that's going to become a big problem for us. I don't think we're going to get anything new. And then he needs a front sack.

He needs like the the hangover not at the table carlos oh baby yo with the little glasses on too that would be so fucking oh man we might have a new shirt design idea you know there's our fucking christmas sweater i mean the hangover still plays right yeah it's like the office is always our biggest sellers and that's like the show's like 20 years old at this point um and then like you said the mandos come in and if you find out like based so again this is an outsider looking in doesn't know bo katan which is a sick name by the way great name and all the little like nuances and stuff it seems like she's a mandalorian because she's from fucking mandalore right and she has the armor and it

sounds like he's part of another cult where it's like or whatever you want to call and he's more of maybe the religious nutbag side of things. Yeah. And it's like, it is kind of funny when you're raised in a religion and then you realize there's people who are more extreme than you more relaxed than you just believes in just like, you know,

the universe and you know, all religions have won all this kind of stuff. And it seems like that's kind of happening with Mando here, which I found pretty interesting. And again, I know nothing about Bo-Katan. I'm sure there's a little YouTube video about it, but sounds like she's a bad mamma-jamma

that can fuck shit up, huh? She's a bad mamma-jamma. So basically what you could know about her, what would help a little bit, her sister was the ruler of Mandalore in a very like Padme Amidala type way. She's very pacifist. She wanted peace.

Bo-Katan was not down for this. Bo-Katan and her sister split apart as children, and Bo-Katan wanted Mandalore and made it seem like they were great and that mandalore needed people like them eventually they were given the throne they were also working with darth maul at the time and then darth maul realized hey i don't need you guys anymore so he challenged her leader to uh battle for the darksaber he won and then she said fuck it the enemy if my enemy is my friend i I don't like Darth Maul. I'll basically be a good guy now. Throughout Clone Wars and Rebels, her story progresses, but that's the basic, you know, where she comes from,

and she is a good guy now. We know that. She was the last known holder of the Darksaber pre-seeing Moff Gideon with it. So that's why she wants it so bad. She tells him pretty quickly, you know, I need something to get back control of Mandalore and whatnot. So that's something to look forward to in the future. But Mando says, no, I'm not interested in working with you guys. You guys take the helmets off.

It's lame flies away. That's like when you're a kid, everyone wants to wear, everyone wants to ride bikes, but they don't want to put the helmet on. Mando is the kid that's like, put the helmets on. Come on. My parents said we can't ride bikes without it. But as soon as he gets back and there was a beautiful shot by the way of him looking at the sunset as the ship blew up that was like one of my favorite shots of the episode i get that as a painting above my tv that was awesome um but as he starts to walk away a bunch of corn corner him corn corner him that was a tongue twister and they say you killed my brother now i'm gonna kill you once again bo katan and the mandos drop down save the day she has like a very

john wick batman no i killed him and then you know they shoot everybody out it takes them two seconds you can tell that this group of mandalorians is even more advanced than our mandalorian like oh shit these guys know what they're doing so they they say, hey, can we get you a drink? They go back to the chowder bar, this cantina. They say, we would love your help. They give them a little backstory in Mandalore. They say, Mandalore isn't what you think. The Empire says that it's this ghost town.

Nobody can even go to Mandalore. That is a lie, they're saying. Maybe there's more to that than we know. I would love to see what this place looks like with Moff Gideon at the helm running this or whatever and they say can you join us we want to steal weapons that the empire is taking off of this planet and he's like all right sure he drops baby yoda off and they go on the voyage i feel i hate to do this to our guy i think we may have to rename the series a mandalorian because you can't be the Mandalorian

if these motherfuckers are fucking shit up, saving your ass time after time. You are no longer the Mandalorian. You are just a Mandalorian. Damn. And maybe kind of like a shitty one. I don't want to do it to my guy, but I got to do it.

When you said that thing about the Mandalore and all this stuff, that just was Tyler, the creator. That was a fucking lie meme in real life like i didn't see mandalore uh the mandalore just doing that that was a fucking lie whenever he finds you know talks to someone like his fucking his pack or whatever the fuck they are about how what mandalore is really like it's basically like the whole show is like everything the helmet thing you know every time he talks to someone they're like actually everything

you know is a lie he's like what the fuck man it's like i could have been hitting skins with that milf back in the fucking forest planet like oh my god imagine the next episode he's like uh baby yoda where we're i'll take you to ahsoka but we're making a stop along the way he shows up on the planet without the helmet he's not even wearing it oh god yeah and it's straight up uh not another teen movie like it's like mando prize and fuck right so it's just gonna be a whole lot of you know there's a lot of cum coming out of this quote bob fox in uh circa what 2017 yeah it was a cum contest so yeah he mando's running towards the village and he just gives baby yoda to the

kids he's like play with the kid. Just an entire episode. An entire 40-minute episode of fucking Mandalorian just going to town on that woman. Two minutes later, you get the 40-year-old virgin scene of that was awesome. Yes. Oh, could you imagine that if there was like a three-minute episode and it's just sex for three fucking minutes? It would be fucking hilarious. It'd be hysterical. It'd be hysterical.

What would the title be? It would be like The Booty Call? The Coitus. I don't know. The Coitus. There we go. Yeah, it feels like it has to be a little fancier. The reproduction.

You can't call it Chapter 11 fucking The Booty Call. It has to be like The Coitus or something like that. Yeah. I kind of did that. Yeah, yeah. So we get our big action sequence at the end of this episode. They kind of scout out the ship and shout at the sasha banks by the way wwe wrestler she was uh the other female mandalorian

god damn i i keep seeing sasha banks this this is gonna sound after that last conversation we just had this i know exactly what you're gonna say i keep seeing that name and i keep thinking sasha gray and i'm just like porn star porn star. And that name Sasha Banks is either a porn star's name or it should be a porn star's name. That's a very porn star name. It is. It really is. And that's,

I mean, if you look down the list of wrestlers, not even just female wrestlers, male wrestlers, female wrestlers, there's a lot of porn star name combinations that you could go through. You know what her real name is too? It's Mercedes something, right?

Mercedes Justine Kessner Varnado. Mercedes, I mean, if she just went by Mercedes, that's a fucking porn star name as well. She's Snoop Dogg's cousin actually. What? Yeah, Snoop Dogg sang her out to the ring at WrestleMania 32, like a custom rap and everything. He reps for her big.

I'm a big Sasha Banks guy. Not in a porn way either. Pretty cool. Fun fact, also, connection to my mom's basement. I know Sasha Banks' husband. He is a gear designer at the WWE. Huh, all right. His name is Mikazi.

Yeah, the first ever female Hell in a Cell match. First ever female, paper female event as well. So shout out, Sasha. Cool seeing that crossover. WWE Mandalorian, that's perfect for me. That's fucking money for you. Honest, how was that Hell in a Cell match? uh pay-per-view main event as well so shout out sasha cool seeing that crossover wwe mandalorian that's perfect for me that's that's fucking money for you honest how was that lnsl match you know it was pretty good but the finish of the match was a total botch fest because sasha was supposed to go through a table and she like wasn't big enough they didn't like gimmick

the table enough for her so they like threw her against the table like five times in a row and then eventually they just pinned her because like she couldn't go through it so the ending of it was no good but the match itself was good she's been in some good matches she's she's very good so i was excited to see her in the show for sure they scout out the shit they finally get on to it and this was awesome the entire thing i mean bo katan immediately with her like wrist knife started stabbing stormtroopers in the throat I was like holy fuck we're we're going rated R with this one she's she's for real and she uses that in the cartoon too which was you know a nice little nod to the people that actually know her

combat style and there were a lot of cool shots during this whole barge of the imperial shuttle or whatever you want to call it a lot of sideways shots of them walking down the hallway i love the predator type shots of them throwing the smoke bombs and seeing the storm troopers through the thermal and then we got some cool cutaways too of the cockpit and like these remnants of the empire and these like war war mongers warlords whatever you want to call them still trying to run things saying things like long live the empire that make them sound like nazis and whatnot it was really cool gets down to finally a comedic moment that's very funny where they get trapped and they're like where did you trap them good job and they're like in the control center and they're like what and then the entire ship you know in a very alien type way gets sucked out in a vacuum and bo katan is like oh I come in we're coming right

to the cockpit and then you get a big chase for time is the ship gonna crash first because this guy wants to just nosedive the ship go down with the empire as Moff Gideon tells him to it's a very oh the fire rises brother they expect one of us in the wreckage and they run towards the cockpit this is when Mando like I says does the uh happy gilmore trick where he's like cover me and he throws the bombs he just starts taking shots he's eating them he falls down pretty awesome earns the respect of the other mandalorians i think it was kind of how i used to play hockey i was like listen i'm horrible at hockey and i feel bad about it that i'm on the rink with you guys but i'll just shots. I'll dive in front of the net if I have to.

Like, I'll do what I can. A grip player, basically. They get to the cockpit and finally get control of this guy. She asks, does he have the Darksaber? He answers, if you're asking, you already know, which is kind of a badass Empire line. And then he eats, like, I don't know, a suicide, not like a cyanide pill because it electrocutes him,

but it was like a suicide pill.'s not giving up any information they they level out the ship awesome action sequence one of the best full like action scenes the show's ever had yeah it was it was a lot of fun um they and we've talked about how much we like the mandalorian that it's it's new stories and stuff but it's still a lot of this, the old star Wars basics. And they just found a good way just to kill storm troopers. You know, it wasn't just the typical storm troopers. It was like, those motherfuckers are meat. You know what I mean? They're Goombas and Mario. You could just fucking slaughter them.

But the way they do it with, like you said, the thermal stuff or they just get launched out of the fucking trunk or whatever the fuck was going on i loved it that group of mandos it was like when there's this badass bank robbing crew and you're like oh these guys like and they said like oh there's 10 of them no that's that can't be there's only four it's like that was such a great line yeah they're like it's only four and he's like there's four mandalorians and i was like oh fuck there's four mandalorians and that's what it really sold me on all that it was like the way his expression was

um that one chick who has like the custom helmet then i'm trying to think like i was a mandalorian i feel like i would have like a little extra i think it's when you're making your creative player or something like that i feel like i would have it wouldn't just be a typical clean mask like mando has i would have some sort of a danny dimes on it or some sort of a thing like it's like my i'm a laptop sticker guy i don't have the nerve to be a tattoo guy like bob so i've chose to express myself myself through laptop stickers and i'll tell you there's like i'm running i ran out of room like immediately i bought like 10 stickers they're all over the place and i i could use 10 more right now i absolutely love like the expressiveness of it fucking a mando helmet the things you could do with that. Well, this is interesting.

It's an interesting point you bring that up because there is a Mandalorian from Rebels named Sabine who paints her Mandalorian armor like graffiti style, like literally with paint and graffiti and stuff. And I think there's a chance that she could be with Ahsoka. I'm thinking, hey, Mandalorian, everyone's trying to rob him of his armor. Is he going to meet her down the line she's going to be like let me paint that armor so people don't know it's best card not a bad theory eh how how about this if i was a mandalorian i would put like giants three and seven you know people put like their team's records in parentheses i just change my fucking armor every week based on you know what our team's record people put like how many stormtrooper kills

they have you have how many like danny dimes interceptions he hasn't thrown or whatever i don't know hey hey i'm sorry i'm sorry shout out the washington football team our fantasy team is being driven by antonio gibson and terry mcclellan how are we doing right now by the way uh we are up in the in the matchup against part of my take who's a mess i think that they were i think a good team we're in second place in the league and i part of my take who's a mess i think that they were i think a good team we're in second place in the league and i think we were number one or right behind number one in total points we are a fucking wagon rob that's the fucking answer we're a fucking wagon and the only reason and this week's little bonus was jeff's dog chose treats off of a card and we came in last

place i think mimosa might have a beef with the basement i thought we were cool with mimosa i've met yeah i've been most of once at the offer office it was more of like a hello a quick nod that was it but i thought we had a good good vibe i imagine you and jeff you guys are always doing stuff together maybe she's a little jealous because you know it's like we have amando jeff has amando you're on both i figured you were the bridge but again jeff said do not you know i i do not say anything bad about Mimosa. He like blocks motherfuckers if they say bad stuff. You don't say anything bad about his dog. That's how you treat a dog. That's a John Wick way.

You know what that is? It's a scale move right there. We don't appreciate people calling other people's dogs, bad names. So shout out Jeff, shout out Mimosa. Maybe next time we'll get some bonus points. But the other thing about M mando here like even when they recruit him it's like every fucking time it's like man is like i just need something done for me please out of the kindness result like if you do this mission with us and he's just like i feel like he needs to get girl scout badges for every mission he does for someone else because he always does it he always comes through clutch and just give him a fucking badge it's like i fucking

killed an atst i fucking you know got these weapons or whatever and the ship for these these other mandos i did this i did that and it's like he just has to do this and again it always works out for him in the end you know one way or the other um but i i just and then the other thing was baby yo watching that little tab hole get born oh it was so cut i forgot to mention that baby yo he drops from baby yo off which i'm not a fan of like hey babysit the kid because what if moff gideon just decides oh he's on that planet like let me come down if he's on the sail barge obviously the baby's unattended like you know what i mean like bro the baby wherever he's got a d minus parenting right

now i notice wherever i go he goes isn't that goes. Isn't that the line? Yeah. Isn't that the line, man? What the fuck? Wherever I go, I leave him with the baby, with the fucking frog lady? What's going on there? The fucking Mandalorian's has two codes. One, I always make good on my promises. Didn't do that to the frog lady basically immediately. And wherever he goes, I go.

And he just leaves him with the frog people. This is not the way. This is not the way, man. this is not the way this is not the way this is not the way man they could be a sith fucking creature uh a sith species yeah i did not like that one bit i thought he was gonna eat the eggs too which had me scared that there was gonna be that awkward you just you know i was afraid he was gonna eat the tadpole and the frogs were gonna look at him like with stunned faces like which has happened yeah i don't know where the frogs stand on when life begins when it's stop you know all this kind of stuff and then we're dealing with um roe v wade and star wars i know is there a star wars

roe v wade there has to be right so a lot of sticky situations i thought we're gonna get to with baby yo mando wherever he goes you go and vice versa i don't know if i mess that up the cyanide uh laser pill i thought was awesome pretty cool um and again like you said like the the power vacuum that happens when the empire falls and you know there's no one kind of to be in charge i find that shit just fascinating because like that kind of it feels a little more real life-ish out there even though it's galaxy far far away very rogue one-ish too i forget who messaged that to me it might have been uh my friend vinnie vegas i think he was like it felt a lot of like rogue one vibes in this last that's a great point it really did feel very rogue one-ish which

i mean again other than like the first little bit of it i was you know i absolutely i like love rogue one in general we did the rewatch of it as well um more kind of shit like that i'm always down for uh and then i gotta do so i have to do a refresher on ahsoka on youtube there's like you know a little 10 minute refresher and then bokeh tan there i looked it up there it's like an eight minute refresher you know a lot of those really well done like by the super nerds and they explain it to you pretty i always do a game of thrones you know going through so i think everyone who's like me that wants to have a little background story I don't think it will you'll need it I just think it'll be a richer experience if you kind of know what the fuck's going on definitely we got a couple little like you know tips of the cap I think look at the way they

handled it in this episode and how well they handled it where if you didn't know Bo-Katan you very much got the impression right away that okay she's a good mandalorian she's very good at combat she's you know to be taken seriously i loved when she hits mando with darth vader line on the ship and he's like you altered the terms of the deal and you expect her to say pray i do not alter them further but she just like this is the way and keeps walking like mando's trying to talk up to her motherfucker this is a former leader of mandalore like this is a sansa stark personality type where you're not fucking with her mentality like she's fucking with you andrew dice but we do the fucking fucking around here uh little little live um update from my mom's basement which good thing we're in the basement right now i have do not disturb on

my phone so my uh headphones don't like get sucked in if i get a phone call a little uh turns out some things do come through in the uh they do not disturb uh emergency tornado warning in my area until 9 15 p.m so we're about a half hour away from potential but it says shelter now in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building so here we are i'm in my basement i'm in the mom's basement get some 3t we'll fucking ride through this thing together no problems kids may be coming down a little while uh reeks had a tornado um had a tornado warning during an episode of no quitters we did during uh quarantine or whatever and we're like is bobby all right and he came on like 10 minutes like hey he's like yeah apparently like went through the other part of town like hey man welcome back so we might be living through a tornado right now everybody all right well we're gonna hope that if it happens it

happens on my mom's basement it's documented and we'll have like a clem defeats the tornado episode of my mom's basement that would be fantastic content dave that's what dave likes he likes content so we knew ahsoka tano was probably going to join us this season. And we heard the Rosario Dawson rumors. It was all about confirmed really. When Bo-Katan says go to the sector of whatever there, you will find Ahsoka Tano. I mean, the hair stood up on my arms. Chills were sent down my spine. I was like, Oh my God, she said it. It's happening. It's really happening. That is going to be awesome.

I don't think we're going to get Ahsoka next episode. I'll say that right off the bat. Next episode is going to be Carl Weathers' directorial debut with The Mandalorian. So I think we're going to get a Greef Karga, Cara Dune check-in. He'll probably have to maybe go to Navarro 7 and be like, they didn't repair my ship right on Trask or wherever I was. I got to do it here. And they'll be like, well, we could do that

as long as you help us out with one thing. And then at the end of the episode, he'll go over to whatever sector of whatever that planet, Crouton, Cron, whatever it was. I forget what the name of it was. It's a Star Wars name. I think we will probably get our Ahsoka episode with chapter five of this season,

or it'll be chapter 13, episode five. Once again, the numbers are all fucked. Let's get into questions before we do that. We only got a couple because we answered so many of them throughout the podcast, actually. So we answered that one already. Joseph Hunt wants to know, do you think Mando has it in him to be the owner of the dark saber one day? I thought this question was important because I think as the series progresses,

that is going to be the end game. If you will, who is going to lead Mandalore kind of referenced this before, who is going to be quote unquote on the throne at the end. I think there's a smart way to do that where you see everyone loved the game of thrones dynamic of hey who's going to be the winner at the end someone is going to win this thing at the end right and they kind of botched that i'm not even going to say kind of because i've got clem here he'll go on whole rampage you

know he'll talk through a tornado about game of thrones but if you take that in the mandalorian in a way that you already have it set up whoever holds the dark saber is the leader of mandalore you know mandalore is this war-torn scavenged planet or whatever you want to call it now i think it would be really cool if you set that up where it's will mando have it will moff gideon have it will bo katana have it will ahsoka tano have it introduce new characters where it's like maybe they'll be the ones to have it in the end i Tano have it introduce new characters where it's like maybe they'll be the ones to have it in the end I think that would be a really really smart way to go about things yeah I'm kind of trying to figure out which would be um like the best way to I'm

thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking of like the hardcore title like does it switch hands a bunch of times or does it switch hands with like three of like the heaviest hitters, whether it's Mando, Boba, Bolkitan, you know, Moff, all that kind of shit. I don't, I'm thrilled to see how it plays out. And then now that we know Mandalore is not what we were led to believe it might be. I'm like, I'm really excited. Like there's something you're ruling with this saber instead of us having this sweet ass sword. You know what I mean? Yeah.

All right. We got a question well this one's not even a question but i wanted to bring it up because this guy listens every week he writes in every week his twitter handle is star wars prequel stan and he said not a question but i am once again asking y'all to put some respect on the prequel trilogy's name just a shout out to that guy he loves the prequels he's real earnest about it well let's think of something positive we could each say about the prequels right now for our pal star wars prequel stan i can start i love the world building and the star wars prequels i think the world building in those movies is as good as the world building in anything star wars ever the planets the the factions all that stuff it gets shit on you know for all the taxation and

whatnot but you dive into it it allowed us to get the clone wars which is some of the best star wars stuff we've had as well which allowed us to get this there you go star wars prequel stan you go ahead clem uh duel of the fates very great song darth maul was cool as shit um darth jar jar would have been the greatest twist in the history of twist if they had just seen it through because that was really what was supposed to happen regardless of what anyone including other people in this podcast may say um and yeah the the high the the few moments of revenge of the sith there were some awesome awesome moments i mean order 66 like i've had this like pit in my stomach just saying it out loud so another thing it's hard to re-watch uh on on re-watches uh all that kind of stuff so

uh the sword fight with anakin prequel stand i'm pretty much saying like it's the best trilogy of all time right here what else do you want from me okay but i saw the uh the handle i was like oh yeah like when you're you're going with prequel stand you know exactly what you're wearing it but hey shout out to you for wearing it on the on the fucking uh sleeve there i mean like at this point i feel like there's more outrage with the sequels because they're fresher in people's minds and i mean hey listen i think you always go the prequels aren't so bad we did the rewatch in the beginning of uh coronavirus they're worse than i remembered it was oh come on he said put some

respect on him this is his question okay i'm sorry. I apologize. Edit that from the episode. I apologize. All right. And the final question, we've got this from a few people. Mark, imagine. Oh God, I'm going to butcher this guy's last name. Mark, Mar, Marganaglio, Marganaglio. And old dirty. He said, how do we feel about the inconsistency of time in each episode? And what's up with this episode only being a half an hour. That's that's just the way this show's gonna go i think i don't think you're gonna see a difference where season three you know every episode will be 30 minutes or 50 minutes or 60 minutes i think that's part of what makes the mandalorian the mandalorian you never really know

how long an episode is going to be because it's more dependent on the story and what the story calls for than anything else and an episode like like this, I felt like 35 minutes worked. I actually assumed each episode this season has gotten shorter and shorter. After I watched this, I went, oh, we got another long episode. That was cool. But it was just because so much had happened. So it didn't even really register in my mind that this was a short one. Yeah, I don't think you really – I don't think you need –

I don't think length in this case means good or bad. And I kind of dig, again, the Mandalorian, you. And it's kind of like with podcasts. I like when a podcast sometimes is only 30 minutes long, and it's just as good as a maybe hour 10 one where it's maybe dragging a little bit, or it's just, they have to tell certain parts to get to it. And I think, I think, and again, I'll be honest with you sometimes as a dad and I'm like nodding off even during good episodes, cause I'm tired. Sometimes that 30 minutes, it's like, that's all I needed here. we're in and we're out and I can get back to work or get back to being a parent or just get to sleep sometimes I do enjoy I understand if some people kind of like that uniform but um I think kind of the no matter which way it goes I kind of hope we get the same from uh vision and one excuse me WandaVision I kind of want to have that kind of bounce all over the

place we don't know where it's going next um and again the serial spaghetti western version of this it kind of goes if it's as unpredictable to story as it is with the um time I think that kind of plays right into it I'm with you you mentioned WandaVision that's going to premiere on January 15th and we will be doing these recaps just like we're doing for the Mandalorian for that as well. We'll do it for that.

We'll do it for the Falcon and the winter soldier. Eventually when we get Loki, we'll bring you the nerdy Disney plus recaps for every show. You could imagine the basement. I just, I have the Twitter on the side here. I see a tornado warning for Manhattan. I need you to get into the right place right now. A tornado warning in Manhattan, Manhattan.

It's all fucked up. How could happen i don't know like that's the tour where is there from the river it comes in with tim's and like a yankee hat and it's just like 27 rigs oh i don't know man you gotta be careful we need dr strange from bleaker street to show up and like hold it back or something. I don't know. All right, Clem. This has been a blast. I'll talk to you next week, buddy. See you next week, pal.
