You are now joining Children of the Watch.

That's right. It's the number one podcast in the galaxy for all things. The Mandalorian. I'm your host Alex Maxwell and joining me as always is

Mac Lacey. We are here for our voicemail episode for chapter 18 of the Mandalorian.

Let's go. We love doing these love hearing from the fans, love getting to kind of get more conversational with y'all.

Yeah, and this is an opportunity to hear what you guys thought of the episode, but also you can bring some fantastic theories

to the table. And you guys did just that. And I got to start off by saying for this episode, you guys broke the record in terms of most voicemails called into our voicemail hotline.

I'm not even this is not hyperbolic over like 200 voicemails for this episode alone. And I loved it. And here's the thing like if you guys are calling we I have listened to all of them.

And then like I just kind of pick out random there just kind of be fair. And so if you did not make it onto the voicemail hotline, make sure you keep calling because you guys have fantastic theories.

They're so good. And maybe just maybe you made it over onto our Patreon bonus voicemail hotline episode, which we record right after doing this one. And it's just like this.

We just do even more voicemails for you guys over on the Patreon. And you can join the Patreon Patreon.com slash the Mandalorian watch for just $2 a month. You can get access to that. And so much more.

And so it's a lot of fun. Like for example, Brandon from Philly called into our bonus in our bonus episode. And he has such a fantastic voicemail theory. He's like a legend over on the Patreon.

So if you don't hear it on this one, you might be on the other one over on the Patreon. So these are just so much fun, Mac. And I think we've got so many good theories coming out of this episode.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm just again reiterating what Alex said. Thank you to y'all for your influx of calls and everything like that. It's amazing.

We have, I think the best listener base. There is. There's no doubt. So thank you all for, you know, supporting us taking one of us through everything we do.

Just wanted to take a brief second to extend our thanks in our gratitude.

Absolutely. But before we jump into our voicemails, Mac, there's there's a couple controversies that we've got to address before we jump into the voicemails.

And the first one being R2D2.

Yeah, we got big astrumic coming for us. They're trying to censor us.

So when we talked about the red one story, we were putting it on a little bit in terms of the bit. Of course.

We do understand that R2 is not a villain. We do understand that R2 and R5 actually are five agreed to blow the motivator in order for R2 to be the one picked.

We understand that. Right. We were just we were just playing up the bit a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you just do things with a psychokomedy or entertainment.

So we apologize to R2D2 in his representatives, which is just C3PO. So we're we apologize.
