If you listen carefully, you can actually hear the pollen!  In our latest, greatest, and congestediest episode yet of Me and My Padawan, Braden and Ryan take a break from sneezing on Mother's Day to talk about Star Wars mothers, the rumors of an Kenobi movie, Jon Favreau's live-action series, and make some final predictions about who and what we will see in Solo: A Star Wars Story!  Braden then takes over for a segment about Lego Star Wars that does not go the way that we thought.  Except the Jek-14 part.  That went exactly as anticipated.  We then wrap up with a venture into spoiler territory to talk about our evening at the drive-in for Infinity War!

We had planned to make this a mini-episode; we ended up with a super-sized episode!  Braden and Ryan jump right into the show this week, covering the big Star Wars news before sharing their last thoughts on The Last Jedi, including discussion of some of the deleted scenes and a few excerpts from Jason Fry's incredible novelization.  In the second half of the show, the pair talk about their experience at the Cobra Kai / Karate Kid Fathom Event, including some (somewhat rough) audio recorded on the drive to and from the theater.  Dillon has some big news to share, and the boys wrap up with their "What Do We Love This Week" segment!

Episode 14 - Way Past Bedtime with Solo Toys, Solo Trailer, and Ready Player One!

Recorded on Sunday, April 15

Technical difficulties lead to a late start to our recording this week.  A little too late of a start for our fearless co-host, who slowly drifted off to dreamland as the show progressed.  Before that happened, though, we talked about the toys announced and (supposedly) released for Solo: A Star Wars Story, as well as some quick reactions to the recently released theatrical trailer.  We also discussed Ready Player One, highlighting the Star Wars easter eggs and references peppered throughout both the book and the movie.  We then cut the show short so that Braden could get to bed.

Episode 13 - What the Heck? (or, The Legend of Darth Revan)

Recorded on Friday, March 30, 2018

So... many... Darths!  Plans for lucky episode 13 changed when Ryan's research into the Darths of Legend brought the total number of non-canon Darths up to 20 (and counting), so this week he decides to share with Braden the convoluted tale of Darth Revan and Darth Malak, attempting to draw parallels to events currently considered canon.  They also straighten out their confusion over the Decepticons from last episode before having a random discussion about favorite Decepticons.  Dillon also makes an appearance to teach us about the PJ Masks!

Recorded on Sunday March 11, 2018

I've got a bad feeling about this episode... Ryan and Braden sat down on a lazy Sunday to discuss Patreon, politics, Rebels, Jon Favreau, and all of the Darths that are still canon, with a special focus on what we know about Darth Bane and Darth Plagueis.  The show then quickly takes a turn for the worse when we try to talk about the history of the Decepticons, but Ryan researches the wrong series for their backstory.  Fortunately, we had Dillon awake this week to bring our show back on track!

Episode 11 - Solo Books, Star Wars News, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Recorded on Sunday February 25, 2018

"Don't get cocky, kid!"  After 10 relatively drama-free episodes, this week's episode was a real challenge, from planning to editing to losing the file to editing again.  In this installment, Braden and Ryan talk about the upcoming home release of The Last Jedi, the finished script for Episode 9: Return of the Last Jedi, and then provide a run-down of the Solo tie-in story books, organized by approximate age level.  Braden then gives an overview of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.  All that, plus comics, Legos, and wheels!

Episode 10 - Tenth Episode Extravaganza!  Star Wars News and Listener Q&A

Recorded on Sunday February 11, 2018

It's the 10th episode of Me and My Padawan!  Ryan and Braden look back and choose their favorite episode from their first nine attempts at podcasting, then discuss some recent Star Wars news before diving into some questions sent in by their loyal listeners!  All of the questions, oddly enough, have something to do with Star Wars, so they wrap up by asking each other some questions NON-Star Wars questions.  We also learn a little about a possible future side-project that Braden has in mind!  Many thanks to everyone who sent us questions for making this episode a thing!

Episode 09 - Solo Trailer, Canto Bight, TLJ Visual Dictionary, and Pokemon!

Recorded on Friday, February 2, 2018

Ryan and Braden are back, a week later than planned, and on top of the latest Star Wars news for a change!  In this, their 9th episode, they break physics and travel through time to discuss the trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story.  The episode continues with Ryan sharing his thoughts on Canto Bight, and then the pair take turns picking out interesting tidbits from The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary.  The conversation turns ugly with a chat about Pokemon, but picks up at the end when Dillon reveals the one part of Star Wars that he does enjoy.  We also talk about our plans for our 10th Episode Extravaganza!!!

Episode 08 - Stormtroopers!  Power Rangers!  Porgs!  Wait a minute... Porgs??!?

Recorded on Monday, January 15, 2018

Ryan and Braden are back and better than ever with double the microphones of previous episodes!  This week, after discussing the Solo trailer (or lack thereof), the family travels the world while sharing their geeky fandoms with each other.  While talking about porgs, they find themselves in Ireland and, for some reason, Kentucky; their discussion about stormtroopers takes them to Europe in the middle of World War I; and after Braden confuses the heck out of Ryan about Power Rangers, they visit Japan to experience the Super Sentai series.  They also discuss losing teeth, morning work, the Kano computer kit, and Super Mario Odyssey.
