• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Oh there you go.

  Speaker 3: You guys all have a good Christmas at least or
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: good New Year's.

  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of fun New Year's.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I fell asleep on the couch eleven thirty, so you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I did my usual there you wake up the morning.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, it was it was mediocre for New Year's.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I mean just you know, it was usually we have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a few people over and we kind of had a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: nice storm too, and it was nasty and so nobody
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: really came over. We had a couple of friends come over,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but they left it like ten and then we just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: stayed up, my my youngest son, and my wife. My
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: oldest was he took a trip to Chicago, so there
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: was just the three of us. We stayed up, watched
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the ball drop and you know it was it was
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a bad It's been a bad football a couple of weeks.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So the Lions got knocked out of the playoffs. The
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Wolverines lost their game.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Wait, wait, you have lions that played football.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, we have Lions that played Lions of play football origins.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: You said something about Wolverine.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well the wolver read yeah X Men origins and uh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Wolves very much. So a lot of deflated balls. Yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it's Brady Gate all over again. Okay, So you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Know, being home, everyone being home and being on the couch,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, you gotta find different ways to entertain yourself.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So my son and I we started rewatching the Marvel
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: movies from and anticipation of Doomsday coming out next year.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: We figured, you know, we could do it slowly and
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: maybe rewatch everything before that movie comes out. And you
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: know some of those movies are pretty old. Yeah, now,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: rewatching rewatching the first Iron Man, it's like, oh yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: this was this was pre iPhone. He's got a no
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Kia looking thing.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: So it was fun stuff like that. But it was
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: so fun to pick up things that I missed the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: first time. The first few times around. I can't believe
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I missed this. But the first I think it's the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: first time you see you know, it's not the first
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: time you see him. Would you see Tony Stark in
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the casino when when Rody is accepting the award for
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: him and then they cut away and Tony's playing craps
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: when he's supposed to be accepting the reward. Oh yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: music playing. The music playing in the background is like
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: a horn version of the theme song from the Iron
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Man cartoons from the nineteen sixties. Oh wow, I don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: know how I didn't catch that. You know, that's cool
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: or whatever whatever that thing came out.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that movie does date itself because he's like they
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: take a selfie of him at the beginning of the movies, like,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: don't I don't want to see this on your MySpace page.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It's like if that had come out six months later,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: like they would have realized that Facebook would have been
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a thing more of a thing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: It's but that's hilarious.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Well, Uh, there's a lot of movies to go through though, Okay,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I mean even if you watch one a week, you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: know you're still going to be into September.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like close to forty right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Plus there's a lot of you know, some of the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: series you don't really have to pay attention to, Like
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the Netflix series, you don't really need to know, but
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there's some of the series that you kind of need to.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think Loki is going to be very important.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, we're going to watch everything.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not going to watch everything. We're probably not
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: going to watch the Netflix stuff because you know, he's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I know, he's getting older, he's thirteen, but still you.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Know that Punisher is Punisher and later Daredevil stuff is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a bit.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Much Jessica Jones stuff too, Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Jessica Jones, Luke Cage.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: And there's and you know what, there's stuff that I
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: just really didn't enjoy so much. And I don't know
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: if I want to sit through it again. I don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: think I need to watch Echo again. I don't think
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I need to watch.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Hawkeye was fun.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Hawkeye was fun. Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that new wonder Man show that's coming out, what's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: that The new Wonderman show that's coming out looks pretty fun.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm only barely aware that there's a wonder Man
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in the comics. Yeah, like, I know there's a wonder Man.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I know he's Mark Marvel, right right, Okay.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen the previous for it. My my Disney
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Plus password isn't working anymore, and I'm gonna have to
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: look into Oh the problem.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: It's the same guy that played Black Manta in uh
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I gotcha in the Aquaman.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gonna be a scene now, like in the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: background where like you're gonna see a dart like hit
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: my neck and then the the computer is gonna like
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: go like shake over here, and you're gonna see it's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: just these ears just dropped down from the window.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Is gonna take you out of line?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just not mickey laughing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Then the shot.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh boy, yeah, yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Nothing like yourself on the live Internet.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let's get to the Star Trek News before
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: we admit to more crimes online.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Star Trek News.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: All right, So our first news story I thought we
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: would start with this. The Rotten Tomato scores have come
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: out for Starfleet Academy, and being that debuts this week,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I figured we'd talk a little bit about that, So
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: here it is. Right now, Starfield Academy is sitting at
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: an eighty four percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: very high score. There are some articles out there saying
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: that it debuted with one hundred percent, which is true.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: But if you don't know how Rotten Tomatoes works, it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: basically just it's it's binary. It's either was it good
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: was it bad. So when something gets a high percentage
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: like this, you really need to read the reviews because
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: it will just say if the review was overall positive, great,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it's it's one. If the review was even just slightly positive, great,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: it's it's you know, it counts as as good. It
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't differentiate between the differences. So but the reviews are there,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and overall they are positive. People are saying that, you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it's different than any other form of Star Trek we've
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: had before. It's definitely geared more towards teens. But it
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you know, it comes out this Thursday, so we'll see.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: We'll do our predictions a little bit later in the show.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm co optimistic.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping. I want it to be good. I want
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: it to be good.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, any any Star Trek fan wants it to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: be good.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so, but what do you guys think
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: of the high score? The eighty four percent?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Right now?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It's promising.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I feel like Dan is like biting his
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: tongue right now.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Who is this? This is people that were given advanced
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: screen So these are.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I know that in New York they had a was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it New York or someplace they had yeah, yeah, friend
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of the show, the Katie the weather Girl, she went
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and she saw an advanced screening of the first two
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: episodes and she said they were great. So, you know, hopefully.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Hopefully, yeah, hopefully hopefully.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I've kind of lost when it comes to here's the show.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: We have gotten a couple of times in the past.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: We're not the same as an advanced screen, but we
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: have had products sent to us, yes, to review on
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: the show. Yeah right right, Okay, so one thing we
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: did not do is say this is total garbage, because
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: we want them to send us stuff right in the future. Okay,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: And I think a similar phenomenon occurs when you are
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: given these advances. If you're given an advanced screen you're
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: not and it's a total turd. You're not going to
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: say that because you're not going to get invited to
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: the next screening.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So there's a built in bias there is that.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, that is a real phenomenon that you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: were talking about. Yes, And there is also the thing
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: where they will send the screeners out to people that
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they are more favorable to what's going on, which is
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that's not just a Star Trek thing. That is a
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: media tactic, you know. That is the idea is you
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: want to make it seem like it's better than it
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: is before debuts. Films do this, you know, It's just
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it's part of the nature of the beast. Speaking of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the nature of the beast. Our next story comes to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: us from trekmovie dot com And at that big event
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that you were talking about there, Scott, they got to
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: talk to Alex Kurtzman and he was talking about his
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: future on Star Trek and he says, quote, I'm hopeful.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So in the interview he talked a little bit about,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you know, what the plans are for the future. He
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: says he has mentioned before that he has not had
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: conversations with Paramount yet. His contract is up at the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: end of this year, at the end of twenty twenty six.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But god, but there's been no renewal talks yet. But
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: he does say he is hopeful. He does go on
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: to mention that he says something about he can't say
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: anything publicly, but he believes things are promising for him.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Good. I hope he gets hired to go try to
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: ruin another franchise.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: He did also say that he showed so recently. I
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: don't know if you guys remember we did a story
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: about this, but Paramount hired a guy named I think
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it's Chris Parnell. Yeah, Chris Parnell to be their EVP
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: of Original Programming for Paramount.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Plus he used to work at EVP. He used to
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: be the.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Same position at Apple TV. He was also the guy
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: behind for All Mankind, which was made by Ron Moore,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the star trek Alum. But apparently Chris Barnauld did get
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to watch a Starfleet Academy and really enjoyed it. So
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: this guy, Chris has been has been seen as a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you know, a strong voice and sci fi so hopefully
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: that's good. Yeah, I want to believe, man, I want
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to believe.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: You know who they should hire?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Who's that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Rick Berman? Oh it's been it's been twenty one years
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: at this Yeah. They should open up the books and
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: take a look and say when was this franchise most profitable? Hey,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: it was most profitable between nineteen eight They'll see the
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: bell curve between nineteen eighty seven and two thousand and five.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Oh who was running the show during that? This guy
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Burman and Brannon Braga. Well what are they doing? Oh
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: they're still here in Hollywood. Well, yeah, let's see if
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: they'd like to circle back, yeah, and do the next
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: generation or whatever. I mean, this this sort of thing
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: happens in Hollywood all the time. You have these directors
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: who do the sequel to their movie from twenty something
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: years ago, because you know there things are cyclical and
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: midlife crisis and I want to feel young again and whatever,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: or I want to finish what I started or a
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: fresh take on whatever. It's been twenty one years at
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: this point.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking too, bringing bringing some older
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: directors from the TNG era. You know, I'm thinking people
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like Robert Duncan McNeil. You know, he's he transitioned from
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: acting to directing. You know, your boy Robbie, Yeah, my
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: boy Robbie. You know, bring in bringing Robbie. You know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he does stuff like Resident Alien did Chuck. He he
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: directed a couple of really good episodes of Voyager. You know,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: he knows the franchise just not. I want to say,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to bring in a fresh perspective, to bring in an
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: old fresh perspective. You know, people that used to be
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in this that you know, have have not been in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it for a while, but like it's still near and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: dear to their hearts. You know. He still does a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: podcast with my boy Garrett, you know, and that's a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: weekly thing. So they they they still love the franchise,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: but they're a little bit removed from it, you know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: So it'd be an old fresh perspective. I think that'd
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: be good. Let Terry Mettallis takeover. Give give Jonathan Frakes, like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you know, some sort of executive producer kind of thing.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But my god, get Kurtzman out of here. I'm so
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: sick of him. I can't stand him.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I would want to see I know he's eighty three
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: years old, but I would want to see Werner Herzog
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: take over Surgeric.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys know who he is.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: He's a crazy ass filmmaker.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: There is literally a documentary about one of his movies
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: because he wanted to get a ship up a hill
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: for a shot and instead of just like fabricating it
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and pretending, he was adamant that they get the real
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: ship up the hill and it took a month to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: do it, and it's just a log documentary Okay, yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just did it end up on the cutting
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: room floor after all that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Eventually the movie came out, but it took years. This
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: guy's just crazy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Stories like that. Yeah, seven days to do this shot
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: then and then they cut it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: He was also in The Mandalorian. He's the one who
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: wanted to see the baby in the first couple episodes. Yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: he's got that really unique voice.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, run star d.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Just let it. Sure, sure, you know, I would take
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: somebody I don't know over Alex Kurtzman.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Werner would demand that they go shoot on actual different planets.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Oh maybe that's fine, Okay, yeah, yeah, sure.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: It's great. All right.

  Speaker 1: you're just talking about that we can't think of the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: name of because nobody remembers it because it probably wasn't
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: all that good. There's also an office out there, so
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you know, this could be this could be the workplace
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: comedy nobody remembers, or it could be another office. It
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: just depends on how it hits, how it lands. Yeah,

  Speaker 2: definitely some big swings. This may be the biggest margin
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: of victory for our winners maybe. Ever, like it was
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: pretty blown out of the water. So we'll go one
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: at a time through them. We'll start from the bottom,

  Speaker 3: that one.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: So Okay, I'm not a huge magic person, but I

  Speaker 2: Greg Cox and with seventy percent of the vote, Star
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Trek Strange, New Worlds, Ring of Fire by David Mack.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm familiar with David Mack. He's a good he's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a good author. I have read several of his books.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't know much. I honestly didn't know much about
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: any of these books. I haven't read any of them, so.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I didn't read any of them. I just voted for fire.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I voted for Identity Theft just because it was the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: only one that wasn't Strange New World.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: It is hard when somebody steals your idea. So right,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: that would be a great book. Yes, all right, best rant.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: We only had two nomic Dan on Star Trek a
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: cat or a Starfleet Academy and Scott on Alex Kurtzman.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And the winner with seventy seventy three percent of the votes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Scott on his rent with Alex Kurtzman.

  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you. I would like to like to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: thank the Academy. Yeah, yep, I'd like to thank you,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: okay most of all. Yeah, yeah, I'd like to thank
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: thank my wife, Desiree, for supporting me apparently many many times.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, what about your mom? She watches.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think she voted.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think she Okay, all right, all right, next category,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: most anticipated trick. So the trick that is coming out
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: this year. We've got Strange Into a World season four,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Starfleet Academy and Scouts season two, and with fifty nine
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: percent of the votes. The most anticipated star Trek is
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Starfleet Academy.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah that doesn't surprise me either.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is the one that's up right,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: it's the it's the one people are talking about.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Right, and it's it's the newest thing. And and since
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, there was a slow decline in Stranging Worlds.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Not that Stranging Worlds was bad, but the third season
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: was okay, okay, you know, so so people are not
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if people are really anticipating in season
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: four being much that that much better. And I think
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's why Academy, you know, because it's brand new and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: we really don't know what you expect.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: And so it's anticipated. So there you go. It is
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Next category, Best performance of a classic character by a
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: new actor. We got a lot of nominees. It's all
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: it's like your Ants and Mounts or Ethan Beeck's You're
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Jess Bush, all those people that are playing classic characters
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: that we've seen before but are now giving new takes
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: on it. And with sixty nine percent of the votes,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: just dwarfing everybody. Martin Quinn for Scotty on Strange New Worlds.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I have to say something This was
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the one that I took the most serious. This is
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the question I took the most serious because I, you know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: all the rest of them, you know, are pretty standard
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: fare for what we kind of usually do. Yeah, And
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I think that there was a clear standout in this category.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I thought that Martin Quinn did a fantastic job. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: love hit his interpretation of Scotty. He's actually Scottish, you know,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: so I just yeah, I just overall, I just think
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: he did a fantastic job.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Big fan, Yeah, I think he did great. All right,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: best Trek Cast Beard. We had Scott Strongbeard, Botters, Dan,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: and all In said was Dan, and then Chad's Basement
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Beard and with seventy two vote, Scott Strongbeards Aboutters.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Wow, this is so unexpected.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Indeed, who would have seen what's coming?
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Again, I would like to thank all the Trek Cast
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: fans out there. This would not have been possible without you.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I am very humbled by this, by this generous award.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'd like to thank my wife,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: who supported me again many many times. Thank you very much.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I would like to thank you Billy Mays.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all those people.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, Next category, Most rewatchable series. Now, this
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: is of all the series, of all the movies, just
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the most rewatchable thing. A lot of different votes came
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: in the top three were Star Trek TNG Next Generation,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: followed by d S nine, but with fifty seven percent
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: of the votes, far out weighing everyone else. Star Trek
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Voyager is the most rewatchable really.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's surprising.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know, yeah, I didn't vote for this, but
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I am rewatching Voyager right now.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so right, well, you know I'm not mad
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: at this.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: When Netflix did their their rankings, you know, a few
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: years ago, like I don't know, ten years ago, now,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Voyager was like the most rewatched Star Trek series.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so wondering if that is because of Jane Way.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering if that is because the number of women
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: who tuned in to see her, oh yeah, vastly outweighs
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: the number of men who may have tuned out, thinking no,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: that's not my thing. I don't want to watch a
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: woman captain.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I mean maybe also at that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Time, I think that might have been the case back
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: ninety five when it first premiered. I don't know if
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that's the case now.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: But like now they're giving it a chance.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: I mean that it's the case now. Yeah, it's the
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: case in nineteen ninety five, and because of it, those
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: are the people that grew up watching it. Those are
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: the people that have fond memories of it now, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: those are the people that are rewatching it now, making
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: it the most. Yeah, and maybe some of those men
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: from back then have matured a bit and are only
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: now going back and watching the show.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Well not if you're a captain in the original series era.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: If your captain in the original series area might say
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: something like I'll just never get used to a woman
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: on the bridge.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, your theory might be right, Dan.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I also think too, like you know, you had tng
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you had DS nine, and then by the time Voyager hit,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: it was already starting to lose popularity. So when people
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: go back to watch it, Voyager is the last thing
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: they probably left off on, so they're trying.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: To catch up.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a little bit of everything, who knows, but yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Voyager was most rewatchable.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Well, it's the newest of the TNNG era, right, and
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: timeline shows. You know, I consider Enterprise TNG era just
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: because they're all kind of clumped together as far as
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: air date wise, you know, yeah, Era Burman era, sure, yeah, sure,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Next category, Best Trek streaming Service. We had two nominees
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: for this one, either Netflix or Paramounts, and the winner with.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Netflix.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious because you can't watch Star Trek Netflix right now.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I know this is like, you know, best comic company
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: that puts out Superman comics and.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Marvel win right, yeah, Well, and then it's it's not
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously this is not a you know, we
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: love Netflix, this is a this was a vote to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: hate on Paramount.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Well, is there still that situation where internationally you can't
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: watch these shows on Paramount Plus it's it's on Netflix.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: That could be. But how many international fans of ours
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: voted in this? I don't think there's any way to tell.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it doesn't for overseas. If you're not from
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the United States, chime in somewhere, either in the chat
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: or on our on our Facebook or the comments. Yeah
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: in the comics, let us know you were overseas and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: you voted in the in the poll.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Next question, most rewatchable movie. So, of all the movies,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: which is the most rewatchable.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I can't tell if that's late greener. Yeah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: So the top three were, let's see, the Undiscovered Country
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: was number three, Love It number two Ratha con sure,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: but with sixty seven percent of the votes. The number
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: one most rewatchable movie Star Trek four, the Voyage Home,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the one with the whales.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Ah okay, yeah, people love it, man, Yeah, yeah, we
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: love it well. And I think it's it's the most
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: favored of Star Trek film, of non Star Trek fans,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: non traditional Trekies. Yeah, you know, of a casual fan
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: or somebody who's never really paid attention to Star Trek.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: This is everyone's favorite.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the it's quote the one with the whales,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: or quote the funny one.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: You know, I just put the connection together in my head.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: One of the things they're saying about Starfleet Academy is
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: that it's goofy, it's funny. I bet you they get
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: metrics like this, and that's why they lean towards that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: You think they're gonna do you think they're also trying
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to go for non traditional Star Trek fans. Oh?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, okay, Yeah, that's it's the mythical.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Get the casuals, all right, next category, final category Best
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Trek in twenty twenty five, and the nominees were strange.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: In a world Section thirty one con and of course
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: the greatest Star Trek series of all Star Trek scouts.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you kidding me?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: With fifty five percent of the vote Section thirty one
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: to one, Oh.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: We've lost, Scott.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know if this is people trolling, oh they
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: see they be trolling, or if this is people making
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: a statement that the state of Star Trek is so
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: poor right now that this turn is the best thing
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: they put out this year. I don't know.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I guess what.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Section thirty one voted the best Star Trek
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: show in twenty twenty five. Uh, surprising results to say
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the least. I feel it's trollan, I feel it's Internet trolling.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, I blame Mike Medina, friend of the show,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Mike Medina. We always see him on the Facebook group.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Wild Bolt throughout the whole thing. I think Wild Build's
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: going to storm Starfleet with you, Scott.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: Ah.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: So that is the award surprisingly enough.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Wow wow.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: So when we do this again at the end of
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: the year, uh, people need to vote.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, and you know I was thinking about this,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to keep track of certain like
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: rants and things like that throughout the year and just
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: sort of write them down what episode it was, so
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: we do sort of go back to them, because because
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: we had some doozies, like I remember a couple of
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: them where Dan went off on a really great tangent
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't remember the episode or where it was,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: but you know, and I think that should be uh,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: we should, you know, kind of keep track of that.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: So oh, for sure, for sure, Desiree, I don't know
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: who this user is. Desiree Boucher's nine to eight nine
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: seven says someone may be trolling with a hmm emoji,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: so there might be some controversy going on.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: That's like voting for Pedro all your wildest dreams will
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: come true.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Oh that's funny because that's that's a Napoleon Dynamite reference, right, Yes, yes, okay, yeah.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: My my son, my my fourteen year old just watched
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that movie for the first time in class. Oh wow, yeah,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and he he just came home and he's like, we
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: watched Napoleon Dynamite. I'm like, what'd you think. He's like,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it was kind of dumb. I'm like, yeah, that's kind
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: of the point. Yeah, like, what was the plot? You know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: what was the plot? There wasn't one.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there wasn't one at all.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: I watched it once twenty years ago or whenever it
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: came out. I didn't.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't get it now if you rewatched it. Yeah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: there's no plot. There's no antagonists, no protagonists, no, you know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, So that's the awards. Those are
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: the results, you know. I'm glad we announced them. But
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: we have another main topic as well. So we went
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: from the past. Now we're gonna look towards the future
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: at Starfleet Academy and our predictions. So yeah, Dan is ready,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: so let me get those up. All right, So I
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: have I came up with some predictions that we can
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: go on like we've done in years past. These are
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: either likely or unlikely responses, so we will have you
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: guys respond to that.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh shoot, I forgot the.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Magic a ball. Well I don't have it, so yeah,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: all right. So the first one, instead of saying is
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: this gonna be good? Is this gonna be bad? I
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: thought we would go with a different barometer for us.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I thought we would go with, well, Dan, actually watch
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: every episode likely or unlikely.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: There's so many facets to this question. I mean, indeed,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: you know you could you could ask it another way.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: How committed is Dan trek cast? Oh, that's another way
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: of asking it, you know, so if we if we
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: turn it around, there you know, is Dan committed to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: trek Cast. I think he's likely committed to trek Cast.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, just so you know, my contract was up at
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: the end of twenty twenty five.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: There you go. Not, there you go.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: It has benegotiating right, No, no, I'm here. I'm here
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: on a memoratum of agreement and extension of the conditions
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: of the expired contract.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: This is you missed the union negotiations. Yeah, totally. So
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe you should show up for those.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: So Dan, are you going to watch every episode? Likely
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: or unlikely?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Is there a column for possibly?
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I mean it's likely or unlikely.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's likely.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I will likely watch every episode, but likely's not.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: If it's that awful out.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but now you you want to win this game, uh,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: at the end of the season, so you could you
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: just watch every episode just so you can win this particular.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Uh question, Yeah, so.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: The question is will he watch every episode? The question
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: is not will he enjoy it? My guess is I'm
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: gonna go unlikely because I'm gonna predict. Maybe there's an illness,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: maybe there's a situation where you can't make an episode.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Hold on point of order, yes, or it is the
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: question how likely is Dan to watch every episode between
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: the time that it drops and the next episode of
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: treck Cast? Or is it how likely is he to
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: watch every episode?
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, I thought it was inferred you to watch
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: every episode before the next episode of trek Cast, just.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: In in the in the time within the episode in
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: the season. Yeah, well you watch.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Them all by the by the last episode of truck
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Cast after the series season finale. I think it is
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: likely he will have watched every episode.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, it is likely, but it's not a sure thing, right.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm going on likely because I can see, Hey,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sick, not gonna watch it, and uh, not gonna
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: be on the show.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Don't get around to it perfect The.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Floor accepts and acknowledges your your your caveat.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: When you say sick, you mean the flu or do
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: you mean like emotionally.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: You know, sometimes we need personal days. Sometimes we need
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: personal days.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: We need a mental health day from me.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yes, people at home are like, this guy really
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: doesn't want to watch the show.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to. I'll tell you why later. I'll
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: tell you why later, all.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Right, Next one, they have a logical reason for the
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: female gem Hadar.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: That's a tough one. That's a tough one because I
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you know, they should obviously they should like explain it.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: But then I can also see a future where all
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: three of us are going, Yeah, they never even explained it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Right, We still don't know why Michael Burnham has a
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: dude's name.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no idea.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Well, apparently that's from the show creator. He thought it
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: was interesting to have a guy his name.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: For a girl.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: So cool.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it, all right.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: So look, Vimo and gemin are logical reasons behind that
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: likely or unlikely?
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Unlikely?
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm I'm going to base my answer on
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: on a concept from Superman, which is Hope. I'm basing
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: my answer on Hope, and I'm gonna say likely.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, I am gonna go with unlikely.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: But here's my thing. I think they will have a reason.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be that logical. I don't think
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: it'll make sense if you if you analyze it, all.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Right, well, you know what, then then three months from
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: now we're gonna have to argue this.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: That's that's why we do this, all right.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: We got some viewers submitted ones because we put we
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: posted it in the Facebook group and in on the Instagram,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: so we've got quite a few. Uh p RFG twelve
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: from Instagram says it's Dawson's Creek with pew pews.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the prevailing opinion, and I agree with it,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: So I say, yeah, I say likely likely, Yeah, I
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: say a lot of the A lot of the video
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: memes are gonna have the Dawson's Creek theme in the background.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know. I I hear the Dawson's Creek or
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Star Trek Dawson's Creek a lot. But I have seen.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: My favorite one is days Daystrom Creek.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: So Daystrem Creek. I like it.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I saw Roxanne Dawson's Creek.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Oh nice, nice, all right, next one, Uh, there are
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: more than two characters we really enjoy.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Likely or unlikely.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say likely because uh, if I would say
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: unlikely if the doctor wasn't gonna be in there. I
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna enjoy the doctor. Uh So, I think
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I think that they are going to bring at least
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: one more character somewhere in there that I'm going to enjoy.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: I just saw a clip just before I got on,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: and it was the doctor, our our, our good old friend,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the holographic doctor, giving inoculations to the new recruits.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: What did you think I thought?
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I thought it was I thought it was cute. Uh,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was cute. Okay, So I
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: mean and obviously the doctor is back, the Voyager doctor
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: he is, It's it's it's Robert Riccardo. You know, pick
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: picked him up, back up, out of mothballs and mothballs
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and brought him in.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: So the callback caretaker, yes, I did, Yeah, medical track
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: corder yep.
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I hope they do it right.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: So I'm going likely that there's more than two characters
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: that we enjoy. So, I mean we I even with Discovery,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: I liked uh Saru, I liked Booker.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: So there was two right yeah?
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there you go. Uh next one?
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Anthony from Facebook they'll get desperate and we'll see the
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: return of the board.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Likely or unlikely not this season.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's unlikely. God, I hope not.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I also agree with unlikely. I just I
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: don't see that happening season two.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Who knows.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: The other thing too, is I don't think we've been
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: told is this gonna be an episodic show or is
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: this going to be a.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a continuation week to week, right.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: So point of order? Yes? If in uh episode three,
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: they sit down in the mess hall and a borg
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: drone walks by and she's like, Hi, I'm fifth of seven.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: I just enrolled last week. Yeah, equal turn of the boar.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: Or are you talking about as a villain?
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: She says, I think we're talking to storyline.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: She walks bay and goes, I'm fourth of Scotch.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I have fit the Scotch. That's great.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm at the new fraternity down the road.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, my fraternity name is half pint. I I
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: think if they might have a borg, but I think
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: in order for the the the question to be answered,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: it has to be a borg storyline.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Z is. I know you like to do the AI,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: we need fit of Scotchborg. That's so bad, the flat,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: the Borg frat. Yeah, yeah, I don't think.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna bring that back.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Emil from Facebook says the Doctor related episodes will be
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: the best likely or unlikely likely.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's just nostalgia speaking from me.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know if we're gonna get Doctor episodes.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking. I don't think he'll be
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: the center.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: No, I think he's a supporting character. Yeah, I don't
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: think we're gonna get Doctor episodes. I think we're gonna
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: get maybe some nuggets where he will fill in some blanks, yeah,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: on what what happened to the people we know from
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: the other show. But I don't think there's gonna be
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Doctor episodes, So I will say unlikely.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Yes here, I think he could be maybe a b
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: plot in episode, but I don't think he's going to
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: be the main star on any episode.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, that's fair.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Rick from Facebook says Discovery will show up likely or unlikely.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I'm also going to take my cue from the coat
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: of arms of the House of l which whose symbol
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: means hope, and I wholeheartedly hope that Discovery does not
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: show up, So I'm gonna say unlikely.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, so refresh my memory.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: The Discovery was that show that came out in twenty
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: seventeen about.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I know the the last episode of Discovery
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: takes place. The last few scenes take place. There's a
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: little time john at the end of the last episode, right,
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: uh huh, yes, okay, Ah, how long was that time?
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: It was like a twenty year time jump.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Or something like that. And I think they got rid
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: of Discovery. Didn't Discovery become self aware in it?
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's got an adult son at that point.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, okay, but the ship itself went off
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: into the sunset.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Does this show take place after the time jump at
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: the end of Discovery or does it take place between
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: the end of the story and the time jump.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I know because they just started up Starfleet Academy in
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Discovery in the end of They were about to start
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: up Starfleet Academy again at the end of Discovery before
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: the time jump. Okay, I think correct me if I'm wrong.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're gonna let something like their
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: own cannon get in their way.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: They want to do it. If they want to do it,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: they're gonna do.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: It, and if Discovery shows up, I don't think it's
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be Old Burnham.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just a ship. I'm gonna say likely that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: How However, if if Michael Burnham's on the view screen,
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: I'm going to count that as a Discovery shoots showed.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Up right, right right, I'm gonna also say likely.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I think even if it's just the ship, I think, yeah,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: they will.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: They're gone. What happened? Didn't something happen to the ship?
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Anybody in the chat figure this out? For me? Something
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: happened to the ship, it became self aware and it
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: left or is gone. I don't think Discovery exists anymore.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Oh you know what I realized?
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh yeah, And I realized we've been.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Talking about Starfleet Academy and we have not played the
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: proper sound effect.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what am I supposed to.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: It's it's like Allen sound effects because it's a scary school.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Jordan does coffee on Instagram says they all graduate and
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: have long careers.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Likely or unlikely.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Well that's something we really won't be able to tell
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: until the end of the series.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would have to say unlikely.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Because we don't, can we really? I mean, if we
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: were to rephrase the question two, does anybody die? I
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: think that's likely.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, you want to rephrase two, do all the main
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: characters make it to the end of the season?
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, does anyone die?
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: We'll do that, okay, Okay, I think that's likely.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes, okay, Yeah, I also agree.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: Or their program will be decompiled. Yeah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know there's more than one. There's more than
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: one hologram.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know, because holograms go to school, but.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Rather well, and the counter argument I've seen is data
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: data with the Starfleet Academy.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, years ago.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, I know, I know, all right.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Next question already from Facebook says he hopes Becky Lynch
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: uses a wrestling move. She is the she is the
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: pro wrestler that has gotten a role on Starfleet Academy.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: She's got the bob cut we saw in one of
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: the clips. So he's hoping at some point she uses
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: wrestling move likely or unlikely.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Likely, Yeah, she'll she'll get in a fight.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: You guys know how much I love wrestling. I know.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think you you don't hire a pro
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: wrestler and not have them do at least one wrestling move. Wow,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I just yeah, James from Facebook his is uh Ben
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Cisco returns to corporeal existence.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: It'd be so cool, which is why they're not going
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: to do it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Unlikely, unlikely, unlikely, Okay, yeah, I just not that.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think they would want to do the storyline.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: I just I don't see them getting that.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: Actor to return.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Avery Brooks is is yeah, he's a nutcase.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I I just don't see that.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: And then our last one likely or unlikely, we watch
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: Interview season two.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Since we know it's coming out, I'm going to say
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: it's likely.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, how.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: But I thought we're not going to know this after
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: season two?
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: My thought of putting this down was we watched like
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: two episodes of Prodigy and then decided, yeah, we're done
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: with this, and we never watched it again.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: So maybe maybe it should be rephrased to we intend
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: to watch.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So okay, all right, so Scott says likely, Dan,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: we intend to watch, Okay.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be awful, and yeah, I'm gonna
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: have had enough.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Oh man, uh as you're union Steward, Dan, I think
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: you should say that you are going to continue watching
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: the show as as what is your union, Steward, Yeah, okay,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: out of contract.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna go likely. I just think you know,
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: there's not a lot of trek Out anymore. So m hm.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: And it's a pretty big.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Show, says this could be Dan's final season.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that. I saw that.
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: Uh, I watched I watched that clip. I watched that
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: clip that you.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Want one Scott was talking about.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was so goofy, so goofy. And I
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: know these are kids, and I know these college aged kids,
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: but these are not college kids. These are cadets at
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: a military academy, not a military school, a military academy.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: So you know, I I usually like to take star
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: trek and and and make it an allegory for contemporary times.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: But you know, the only allegory for Starfleet Academy is
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: West Point.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: What Point admits twelve hundred new students a year out
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: of four million graduating seniors in the United States. So
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: to say that it is ultra ultra ultra ultra selective
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: is an understatement, right, And this is one planet. Yeah,
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: so now this is the United Federation of Planets. This
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: is their west point where there's you know, forty million
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: graduating high school seniors each year. It's even that more selective.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: So the idea that they're going to be goofy and
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: weird and it's just not realistic, it's not realistic. I
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: swallowed my combadge again, what is that?
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I get that. I yeah, yeah, you're you're right.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: And I look I look back to like my my
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: time in the service when I when I joined, and
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: uh and going into basic training, an, you're right, it's
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: not the same and I'll going into basic training is
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: not it's not the same as like going to an
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: elite academy. But we had some pretty young, immature and
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: quite frankly just stupid young kids that you know, I
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: could see swallowing their own combatge. But uh yeah, it's
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: a it's an elite academy. But then again, this is
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: a I think there's I think their standards are kind
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: of low because this is I think this is the
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: first academy class you know that they're that they're trying. Now.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: The thing I read is it's the first one since
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: the burn.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, right, So.
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, but even then, let's say let's say West Point
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: closed down for uh huh twenty years and then restarted. Yeah,
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: you're still not gonna get You're still not gonna get
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: the bottom of the barrel.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: No, you're not. Yeah, you're not the combat swallowing type.
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: You know, eating eating equipment. That's just not what is that?
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, all right, Uh, we should probably get to
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: listener feedback because we got people waiting, So let's do that.
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: Listener feedback.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: And I just want to remind everybody if you'd like
• 58:43

  Speaker 1: hear your opinion.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: All right, So we got a couple of people waiting
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: on the line right now.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go with one. We have not heard from
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: him quite a while, so here we go. Hipster Spock
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: is waiting.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: On the line line.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Radio.
• 59:49
  Speaker 8: Can you hear me now?
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: We can now we can hear you, yes, okay, cool.
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: How are you guys doing.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: Your speakers?
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Speakers?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: How about now?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, we're still hearing, still hearing ourselves.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 8: Okay, I'm on my phone. So how do I like.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: What you want to say?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: Okay?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: So with with Voyager, I think it's because, uh Voyger,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: if you remember, it was on the up N and
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: not too many people watch UPM back then, and so
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: uh I think all these rewatches they're just catching up
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: on like what happened, because yeah, those are the people
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: who didn't catch Voyager the first time around. So uh
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: they probably went back and watched it and say, hey,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: this ain't too bad, so uh they decide to rewatch it.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: What do you think that's very that's very possible.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think you.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Market okay, okay, sorry sorry, yeah, okay.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh that's good.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I think I think his his theory is sound.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: It's it's a good possible reason.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you heard I said UPM was
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: not available in all markets.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's true too.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there were places in the country that just
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: did not have a upan affiliate and yeah, right, access
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: to that show.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so very good point.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: All right, well and then okay, I'll just mute myself.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: I'll just mute when I when you you go. So
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: another thing is that with academy Okay, yeah, we can
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: give it a try and see how it goes. Maybe
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: they learned something, but a lot of the other like
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: reviews that have given it a C plus or something,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: and so we'll see. And you know, I'm not gonna
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: be a buzz kill and say, okay, it's gonna be awful.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, we'll take a look and give it a
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 8: fair shake.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely, okay, yeah, fair enough?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: Right, cool, Thank you guys, Yeah, thank you.

• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: You are denied.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: It was the will of the paw rates. That's section
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: thirty one.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh huh. Just be forever tied to your names.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, it's like the most voted best show would
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 6: be on the DVD.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: So, uh, you got any predictions for the show?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: Well, I have a prediction, and it's a fact. Captain
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: doesn't wear shoes on the ship.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that is one.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and she's and she sits in the captain's chair
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: like a kiddie hat.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: So who doesn't wear shoes the captain?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Holly Hunter does not wear shoes. In the show,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: like like.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: The actress doesn't or the character doesn't.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: The character doesn't doesn't like to wear shoes. Yeah, Scott's back,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: all right, all.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: Right, you guys, Scott, in the military, could you go
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 6: around with no shoes on?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 6: Okay, So the captain doesn't wear shoes.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: So in the military, you're required to wear shoes in
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: the shower, so that you don't get that.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's hilarious. I didn't know that that's some of us.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Would in Iraq. We would wear boots walking from our
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: rooms to the showers because there were scorpions and camel spiders.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, yeah, huh do you know that.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: I know there's gonna be maybe a mystery box this
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 6: season because I've heard somebody review the first few episodes.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: So that's always men, you know, and I hear you know,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 6: the show's not for us. It's supposed to be for
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: like a younger crowd, and they're trying to get the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 6: younger crowd in here.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, they're trying to expand the base.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 6: So yeah, so this is this is for our demographic yep. Yeah,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 6: And if we tune out, that's all right. We have many, many,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: many years a good star Trek.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Apparently the one with the whales is the one to watch.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: So yes, yes, but you know what's funny is Voyager
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: is like the most popular right now, but that was
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 6: the least popular in the nineties.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you could argue Enterprise was the least popular.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well I understand, well because they did a prequel
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: and that yeah, really had war and they couldn't even
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: beam down and you know, there's there's some issues with
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: the Enterprise. Yeah, and it was one of the you
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 6: know other ones that didn't get seven seasons either. They
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: just kind of ended it.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, I don't know.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think this season once the first episode this week.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Or yeah, this week, yeah, Thursday, the first two.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna say the first two. Yeah, we're gonna
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: drop a duce on us. Yes, yeah, all right, well.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Jez because we got we got one more person waiting,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: so we're trying to get to everybody, Okay, yeah, we'll
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: catch with you next week. And then we got one
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: more special guest. I think this is the first time
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: her first time on the show. Fully, Yeah, here we go, Scott.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: You want to introduce this person.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Well, hello, this is uh, Desiree, my lovely wife.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: Hi, you guys hear me?
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gott are fine.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 10: Okay, it's weird because I can't really hear myself other
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 10: than me talking.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: So are you responsible for this section thirty one?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: Win?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: Is that what you're here to tell us?
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: As as your union?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: I mean, I'm responsible for the whole thing.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 10: Wow, I cannot tell you the dedication it took for
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 10: the outcome, but yes, they were all mine, and I
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 10: stand by Voyager and I stand by Star Trek four.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: Definitely three was a close second.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: So you're the reason why my Star Trek first contact
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: was knocked out.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 10: Definitely. Okay, It's always the one with the whales. If
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 10: I'm going to watch, it's the one with the whales.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I would like to point out that no no
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: laws international or or domestic laws were broken or intergalactic
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: laws were broken during this uh these votes, there was
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: no voter fraud. We've done an extensive internal investigation and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: come to find out that no, no specific rules were broken.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: So ye instigation.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 10: I do recall that Daniel said. Daniel said, vote often right,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 10: and please vote that's right. So many lunch times were
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 10: spent wow voting, I must say, and evenings and anytime
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 10: I was waiting and had my value with me.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I think I let this be a lesson to the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: rest of the voters. Yeah, that's right.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 10: You got to be as dedicated as.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Me, Chas says Riot the Capitol. Oh boy, So we
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: haven't really talked about it much, but are you looking
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: forward to start Starfleet Academy.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 10: I think it is definitely the most anticipated. Not in
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 10: a good way necessarily, but it is the most anticipated.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: So I mean, well, I'm sure you'll be. I'm sure
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: you'll be next to me on the couch when we
• 1:09:23
