Mal Thoughts is a weekly write-up of commentary on the latest episode of Based on Nothing. It’s written by our dear friend Mallory who was a guest star in episode 16 ”Mal,” named after her.

• Yes, I am continuing my duties and commentary even though I was the guest. Work comes before my personal feelings of hating the sound of my voice.
• Man you guys should have guests more often! I like hearing what happens when you throw someone else in between you two boys, and I’m not just saying that because I like to hear myself talk.
• Yeah the CA channel I was thinking was KCRA 4, that was bugging me.
• The Star Wars Complete Saga Blu-rays are coming on out September 16th, we were close!
• Jacob’s Darth Vader “NOOOOOO” is even worse than the fact that they’re adding it in the first place.
• Man there’s a lot of background noise in this episode, it sounds like someone wasn’t prepared for recording a podcast and should take care of their super loud laptop fan. (Spoiler Alert: It was me)
• You guys need to stop crushing on my bright and sunny outlook that maybe one day George Lucas will change something for the better. It’s possible!
• I got so distracted ranting about the bad of Tyler, the Creator and the VMA’s, I forgot to mention how fantastic it was that Young the Giant got to play. They’ve come so far and those are artists who actually deserve their success.
• Spenser actually did a decent job editing this, you would never know he abandoned me and Jacob for a half hour.
• I take back my deduction that Tarantino is the Vancouver serial killer, if it were him he would’ve kept the feet.
• Jacob still sucks for not finishing Attack the Block. 
• I forgot to bring up my favorite fall albums: Braille by Audrye Sessions and Pyrite and Gold by Poor Bailey, two albums that sum up fall in the bay area for me. 
• This girl says “like” too much. Valley girl.
• Fun fact! When Jacob brings up pumpkin coffee there was an awesome awkward pause beforehand!
• And seriously how did no one jump in to agree with me about the attractiveness of Brian Fallon? Have you seen that man’s eyes? Damn.
• I love Jesse Lacey, but I hate Pink Floyd.
• I think I can sue Harp-0 for sexual harassment after the way he asked me into his office.
• And next time will be just as weird, if not more so. Count on it. Seriously though, thanks for having me on. It was fun chatting with you boys even with all the missteps and awkward pauses.
