Guest commentator Tony Thaxton joins us for a pre-do it conversation about DJ’s negotiations with Finn & Rose!

Starts with Yoda telling us "We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters." Ends with Finn quoting that great line "you're gonna get paid."

Mentioned: The Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend podcast.
Is Luke a stand-in for George Lucas here? He definitely used to be ("Luke S.") and is Yoda Mickey Mouse? Referenced: "Roll With It" (Steve Winwood).
- It depends on whether George Lucas fits the role of the "self-pitying loser".
"Grow-beyond" as an in-universe insulting nickname for Obi-Wan.
~~Our favorite Mike Brady quotes~~, referenced: The Brady Bunch.
Harrison Ford's "farewell tour" of his iconic characters.
- Frank Oz character farewell tour. Proposal for a gritty rebootquel Bert. Deep cut Frank Oz characters like Marvin Suggs.
The Caretaker bucket brigade trying to put out the fire at the Jedi tree.
- Controversial opinion: Pete likes the Caretakers more than porgs. Referenced: "porgmania" (and the eponymous song).

32:27 podcast episode length.
Referring to the Walt Disney Company as "Mickey Mouse" is an example of a synecdoche, a figure of speech where one part of an object or idea stands in for the whole.
