Notes

• Thanks to Madison Cross for last week! She was a welcome break after two polarizing weeks.
  • The bombshell that she dropped in her closing minutes and the bombshell of her father's identity.
• Next week: returning favorite Meredith Woerner.

Mail!

• 2 Greedo-related shirts from Major M. designed by Tim McDaonagh.

• Two-month backlog of emails.
• From Steve: Have a guest on to talk about the new E.U. which is now canon.
• Pete has begun to self-identify as a professional podcaster.
• The Burbs Minute is wrapping up, to be followed by View Askew (Clerks). That Thing You Do Minute also starting.
• Tom Hanks movies and other second-tier 80's movies that Alex hasn't seen yet.
• Post your pictures of the shelf of a video store from the late 1980's–1992
• Potential new podcast: all the movies that came out in a given year, say 1987. Other new podcast ideas.
• Difficulties in bringing the MxM treatment to comedies.

Interview with Myq

• He is performing North Carolina currently.
• Myq's new album "No Kidding" drops today!
  • About not wanting children.
• Referenced: Teddy Ruxpin.
• Different social media platforms and posting jokes vs. posting non-jokes.
• Writing in your sleep.
• Myq is a completionist.
  • Except for "Desperate Housewives".
  • Same for Pete with "Game of Thrones."
  • "Letting go" = Buddha mindset
  • Callout to former guest of the Show Josh Flanagan. He watched every episode of "Lost", except for the last.
• We (the fans) would be disappointed if the hosts stopped before they covered the "good" Star Wars movies to come.
• While Pete edits the show, he watches old 70's game shows with the sound off.
  • Episodes of SWM may match up with the game shows.
  • Other such mashups (Dark Side of the Rainbow style).
• Myq saw (and enjoyed) Rogue One in Denver, CO. It was quote: "a fun exciting romp."
• Rank the movies.
• Myq's favorite toys were Jedi era: Gamorrean guard, Yoda, Jedi Luke.
  • It was the first that he saw (at a drive-in with his parents).
  • Referenced: Hating the Toy talk.

Meta-Notes

• Current Pete (who is Past Pete from our perspective) left it to Future Pete to drop in the new mailbag theme, but Future Pete (who is now also Past Pete from our perspective) failed to do so, and instead there is just 30 seconds of silence.
• According to UrbanDictionary.com (because it's not a real word), "transmodulate" means "To recreate something in another form; to render; to give new life to something."
• "Heisenberg uncertainty" is the notion that you can't know an object's location at the same time as you know it's momentum, because the more certain you are about one, the more uncertain you will be about the other. Not to be confused with the Observer effect.

Quotes

• Pete: Blast it, Big, where are you?
• Myq: It's like a direct line from the batcave to the Kremlin.
• Myq: Only cool people have the direct line to this... Star Wars internet thing. Alex: Star Wars internet thing!
• Pete: (quoting his wife) "If you're gonna transmodulate, you have to transmodulate in your youth."
• Myq: Internet...go!
• Alex: "The Wizard of 'HAs'"
