166 | This Podcast Just Got Order 166'd

8/25/2020
Just kidding. We're moving. If you're looking for an episode where people talk a lot about Star Wars, this probably isn't it. Check out one of the previous 165 episodes for that. This episode is really just three friends that haven't seen each other in 6 months chatting it up and having a good time doing it. Nerds Unite Studios is officially moving out of its wasp infested teepee. As we move into the new Van Autreve Manor, there will be yet another pause in the podcast. BUT. Josh and I are building a recording studio in an unfinished piece of the new house. It'll be optimized for streaming, climate controlled, rectangular prism shaped, and so sound proofed, anyone entering it will only be able to hear the beating of their own hearts in their ears. Anyway, this is the end of Season 1. Season 2 starts with the same format as before except video and regular podcasting again. (Chris, we will need a schematic for the new studio, asap.)

164 | The Mandalorian Chapter 4

11/29/2019
Baby Yoda drinks bone broth like a hipster. What could be better for Black Friday than watching the Mandalorian then tuning in to Star Wars Nerds Unite to get that sweet, sweet commentary? Certainly better than braving the crowds for sales that have already been going on for 6 weeks. Anyway, Tim, Jen, and Mason jabber on about The Mandalorian and is ever growing collection of family members. And a red eyed AT-ST. Baby Yoda was so cute in this episode it made me want to adopt him even if he can be tracked.
