So I want to start by asking about The Mandalorian and Grogu and just how everybody reacted the first time you saw it.

Bryan YoungHost

4:44

And maybe if that changed over...

Bryan YoungHost

4:46

However many times, I think I've seen it like 15 times now.

Bryan YoungHost

4:49

Okay, all right.

Bryan YoungHost

4:51

That's not that much.
