If you don’t know who Chewbacca Mom is then I’m just going to assume you’ve been living in a cave for the last four weeks or so. But just to refresh your memory, a video of her opening and putting on a Chewbacca mask while she laughs hysterical went crazy viral last month to the tune of 156 million views. Yes, million.

Since she’s gotten famous, Chewbacca Mom has been doing interviews everywhere and literally selling autographs to people, but I think the biggest honor she’s gotten was this invite to Tropicana Field yesterday to throw out a ceremonial first pitch alongside Chewbacca himself.

I hope one day I can have just 1% of the joy in life this lady has.
