Yes, it does work, and he does know what he's doing. That was exactly my point retard. How did you not get this? He knew he was baiting thor, risking a grug tier roid rage outburst, while STILL keeping his son between the two of them. Also, he didn't tell his mom to quiet down, he told Thor to tell his mom to &quot;shut her mouth&quot;, twice. When he didn't get a reaction the first time, he made sure to say it more clearly into the microphone. Don't act like there is no difference between &quot;quiet down&quot; and &quot;shut your mouth&quot; in a heated situation like this. <|endoftext|>
