• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So from personal experience dealing with having Chad in the house,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it gets better after a few weeks, they learned.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, but it's good it's been good having them.

• 5:31
  Speaker 4: extra exercise too.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: So that's good.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Well, as you guys know, I've been dealing with an
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: animal as well. You know, or my dad has. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a moose in the loose.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And oh yeah, tell we want to hear all about it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the moose here. I even got a picture
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of it. I will it will show for those of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you watching. That is the moose. That is the top
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of my dad's car. That's how close the moose was
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to to his house, just chill out in his front yard.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: This moose has been around in his neighborhood for for
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: quite a while. Yeah, maybe summer long basically. And uh,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it has now gotten to the point that it is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: invaded my dad's yard. My dad has a lot of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: like fruit trees and and stuff like that, and the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: moose has decided that is delicious and goes and eats them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: So so in trek cast tradition, I mean two weeks ago,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I named a dog after Chad.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: So, uh, this moose is Duval.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: That's the moose from so in the future, if you
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: discuss the moose on the show.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. I like these. Yes, well, well
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: all the moose is not exactly a welcome visitor right now.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It's not that my dad doesn't like animals. It's that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I have a brother with special needs, and we are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: afraid that he don't.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Want to hug hug he wants to hug the moose
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: or something and he'll get hurt.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love the next guy too, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want a moose.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: They're huge, and yeah, absolutely, And this is like, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't know, a teenage moose.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It's not like a regular white tailed deer that will just,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: you know, go away if you yell at it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: It's a teenage it's a teenage moose. So you tell
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: me get out of the art and he.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Goes exactly And yeah, so dad down some Yeah, my
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: dad is sprayed down some repellent, and so far it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: seems to be working.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, moose moose repellent.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's deer repellent, but it works on moose apparently. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: apparently it's supposed to mimic the smelly How dare you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of what it mikes the spray of a predator.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I figured that. Ye.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: So so what's a moose is natural predator then?
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I mean because yeah, all right maybe.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what I can think of humans?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Humans? Yeah, so I don't know, but I feel like
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a moose could out run a bear though, mm. I mean,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I guess it just depends on.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Does anybody have an encyclopedia or tannica? We could, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: go look up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: We have the internet.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: We have the internet. I'm doing it right now. Yeah,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: let's see.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I will say it was funny though, because we did call, uh,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the local police department, the sheriff's department, and fishing and wildlife,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and they all said they our job that you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you deal with that moose.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: So whatever, gray wolf, brown bear, black bear, Siberian tiger
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: in parts.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Of eastern Russia. Well, I don't know you. I don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: know if you got them out there.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So if I get yourself a siberiand tiger.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: If you do, they probably don't get that bag.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Casmin says, it's moose cast.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: So yeah, bears, I don't think you have gray wolves either,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and if you do, not that many.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, so bears basically bears bears.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The funny thing is if you went out there and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you got mulled by this thing, the first thing that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the cops would say is, why didn't you call us
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: or animal control?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Right right?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Whatever?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I know they did come out last year because this
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: moose has been around a couple of years now, and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they came out last year and they shot him with
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: rubber bullets to scare him off. Yeah, and that worked.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: He's got a vest now, so that's right, ineffective.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a tactical moose.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: His at tactics be crow everywhere, that's right, chocolate moose cholate.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think remove chocolates. All right, Chasbis.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: But the next time I have like an animal around
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: our house, it's gonna be named chas Bis.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: So there you go, we'll have a Chad Chas Biz

  Speaker 1: it a Spanish Star Trek movie. Nice, So I kind
• 12:18

  Speaker 4: Feel like I could learn Spanish in about a year
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: if I just watched Star Trek in Spanish.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Well that and you got to think, with William Shatner's overacting,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that's gotta be like a telenovela with the Spanish, you know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: So that's gotta be great. But these channels will be

• 16:35
  Speaker 1: get to the main topic.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Fun will now commence.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to disagree with seven of nine here.
• 16:45

• 17:01
  Speaker 1: it or were just like meh, whatever, it was an episode.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing. We so our Facebook groups.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: It's a public Facebook group, right, Anybody can see what's
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: posted there. Anybody can share what's posted there. Anyone can
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: comment on what's posted there. The difference, the one caveat
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: is if you're a member of the group, you comment
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: and it immediately posts. If you're not a member of
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: the group and you comment and needs admin approval before
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: it right, actually appears. So a couple hundred times a day,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: one of us is in there approving these yes yes,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: And it's a pretty good gauge of what people think
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: about these episodes. You put your post up that says
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: what you think of this episode, and every once in
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: a while I got to go through there and it's like,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: all right, there's ten comments and eight of them say
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: it sucks.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this uh this episode, Like when I first watched it,

• 18:34
  Speaker 2: six on IMVB. And Daniel, I don't know if Dan
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: can notice this. I think you've got a delay going on,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: or at least I have a delay in because your
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: reaction to what I say is about a second and
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: a half later.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I hear him, and then I hear a very very very.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Faint echo of him a second later of Daniel. Yes, okay,

  Speaker 2: to Gas everybody.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that's right, all right.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: You know, I think this episode of truck Ass is
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: a five.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It totally is. Okay, I'm curious to see what your
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: problems were with the episode and if they're the sack
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and white.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know that was a big problem. This
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: was a gimmick. This was a gimmick episode. They wanted
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: to shoot a black and white episode, so they so
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: they came up with a reason for it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I don't hate the reason, but it's thin.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, but I wouldn't hate okay, yeah it is thin.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't hate the reason so much if they didn't also,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Oh sorry, yeah, you're felt felt a cough coming on.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I needed to mute that. I didn't want to share
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: it with the world. Instead, I'll just talk about.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It with the world. Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: But they also like made this planet look like everything
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: should be in black and white.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they did do that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: So the style of dress mm hmmm. They were like
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: blimps flying around. It was like steam punkish.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: The bar was straight out of Casablanca. The clothes they
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: were wearing the Nazi allegory. You know, this is obviously
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: supposed to be France during you know, during the World
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: War Two.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't know, I don't know what species.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And tell Chad to keep it down.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh you can hear that? Yeah, sorry, it was
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: so that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: It's it's like they wanted to they wanted to do
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: a black and white episode, so they just threw a
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: bunch of stuff together to make a black and white episode.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I can't.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I can't really put my finger on it. But but
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, it took me three sittings to get through
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the show, and the final sitting, which was an hour ago.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was on my phone half the time.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I what about you, Scott, what was your issues with it?
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: My I kept.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: The thing that took me out of it was having
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just out of all the whole universe
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: is bound to be somebody that looks just like you. Yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: maybe not that much like you, other than identical twins.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I have never been confused about anybody who looked a
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: lot like another person. There's nobody on the face of
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the planet, unless Dan, you have an identical twin. There
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: is nobody on the face of the planet that somebody
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: could sit down in your chair right there, start the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: podcast and I'd be like, oh, hi, Dan, how's it going.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: That would fool me. I mean, not a chance at all.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Right that that for me, was the big issue is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: it didn't. Okay, so Una looks exactly like this lady. Okay,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I can accept that. I think in stringwriting you get
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: one just a crazy coincidence, but anything more than that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you lose the thread.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they had the one, They had the one
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: where Okay, she looks exactly like this lady and people
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: confuse her for her. But everyone she interacted with would
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: have instantly been able to tell she doesn't behave like her,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: she doesn't sound like her, she doesn't you know, know
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the things that she's supposed to.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Then we never do a situation where hey, let's try
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to find out more information about the person I'm pretending
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, you know, try to get some background information.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Never get that, you know.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: So this, this would would have been plausible if this
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: was like a pre industrial society where they don't have
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: photography and this and this woman died a year and
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: a half ago, right, so all you have is fading
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: memories of what she looks like. That would have been plausible.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: But you know, they got force fields and you know
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: all this technology, I D scanners.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: No, you're not mistaken Yeah, her for someone, you know, it's.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it wouldn't. I d scanners, especially with their level
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of technology, do like a DNA scan. They're not gonna
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: fake that. Yeah, I don't know.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: It also took me out that the scenes that took
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: place back on the Enterprise were also in black and white.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: I feel like those those should have been in color.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: The Enterprise should have been outside the sphere of influence
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: of whatever it was that was doing this, or.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Even if it was protected it from them.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, you know, and and that, and I
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: don't like Star Trek in black and white. Star Trek
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: was original Star Trek, which this is.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: A sequel to. It's the same characters, it's the same
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: ship and a slightly different timeline, but it was specifically
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: shot the way it was, and there were specific decisions
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: made on costuming and sets and whatnot to take advantage
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: of color television. Right, it's a very bright show. To
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: then put it in black and white, I don't know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: doesn't do it for me.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I will say it looked having you just said that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: This sounds funny, but I thought it looked good, like
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the aesthetics were cool. I didn't like the storyline or
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: why the aesthetics were the way that they were. But
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you know, these costume guys are obviously on point. They
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: they're you know, Hoora always looks amazing when she's not
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: in uniform. She's always They always got her and and
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: some pretty cool stuff. They style her up pretty well.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I liked I liked the outfits. Yeah, so I will
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: say that's one thing I did like. You know what else,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I remember that Another thing that I did like about
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: this episode. I like the callback to the Klingon song
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: that and his old family friends saying when they got
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: drunk together and Wharf got out of him, what the
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Klingons were doing. They were gonna attack the Credassians. And
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: it's the same song.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I do you understand why they couldn't just hide out
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: with the shuttlecraft like they said that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Because it's a poorly written episode, that's right, But why
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: they would even why okay, the whole episode makes no sense.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Why they would even uh, you know, go onto the
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: planet makes no sense hide behind the planet if there's
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: a ship over there and you have to wait it
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: out the planet between you and the ship, right, and
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: that and the idea that okay, we're gonna we're gonna
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: enter the atmosphere, and there's there's nowhere on this planet
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: for us to hide. This whole planet, there's nowhere for
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: us to hide. We're going to sit down outside the
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: city and go mingle with the local what.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what that makes no sense. That makes no sense
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: at all. Yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Well, and then the other thing too, is like they
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: go out of their way to have Una say I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: love the rules, I follow the rules, like that kind
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: of thing, and then she's the first one to break
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: all the rules, like.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Right, and then at this and then everyone's breaking the rules.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: In the end, in the end, you got you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you got Chapel who's like, yeah, it's me. I broke
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: the rules.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm engaging in a major cover up. I'm uh yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: I'm committing a crime right now. Hey, you're my friend.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Can you please commit a crime with me? Let me
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: think it over, sure, let me go lie to the captain.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: And then and then they also write it in such
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: a way that, you know, it's a little ambiguous, but
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: it looks it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Looks like he knows, he's knows that his chief of
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: security is lying to.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: Him, and he's cool with Yeah, what what is that? Yeah,
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: it's crazy so trash, Yes, absolute trash.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I really feel like they sat in the writer's room
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and we're like, Okay, we want to do a horrible episode.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: We want to do a you know, a film noir episode,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and they just made a list. We're gonna do a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Muppets episode in a few weeks, you know. Yeah, And
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that's that's how they went around it.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: So Jacob City watched it Friday and fell asleep.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What what did you think of the guy that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: played Core?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: So this is the same character that was on t
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: S and then he was on.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Nine.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Is this the one who who got like klingon Alzheimer's
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: at the end?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Dahar Master.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I mean it's the same one.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: One of the main guys in the Unit.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, the three of them, the three Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no. The CBS showed the
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Unit Special Group. Oh yeah, the actor. And I also
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: think he was in an episode.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Of The Flash. Yeah. I think he was in the Flash.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: He was Legends of Tomorrow. Uh, I think he I
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: think it was a Flash Legends crossover. I think he
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: was an actor that played somebody that they thought could
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: mix with Professor Stein. Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I know he was in American Gods. I looked
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: up his IMDb, okay, and I and I really liked
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: him in The American Gods. But he's just one of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: these character actors that pops up in things all the time.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it didn't seem like he was trying to
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: channel any of the original mm hmmm.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he's doing his own thing very much, so yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: which is fine.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: But if you do like a callback to a character.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I get that the guy who's playing Kirk is not
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: gonna try to emulate William Shatner, right, But if you
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: bring back Core and you want the audience to remember
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: who Core is, you know, maybe a little bit of
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: that wild eyed kind of you know, yeah, because Core
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: was a little bit crazy even for a kling On,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: and you know he was, I don't know, maybe bring
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: some of that back.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, couldn't hurt.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, sounds like we did not like it. No, I.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: I'm really not a fan. Yeah, but one thing this
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: does illustrate for me. If this was nineteen.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Ninety seven and this was an episode of Voyager, they
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: would have just done this on the Holid Deck. Yeah,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: and it and it kind of illustrates what a writing
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: crutch the Holi Deck became. And later in later iterations
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: of Star Trek, I mean, you know, and and everybody saying, oh,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: it's the first black and white episode of Star Trek,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: it's really not.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, we got we got Tom Proton.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, I mean those weren't complete episodes, but
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: you know, there were a couple that a good portion
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: of the episode.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I was I spent some time trying to think of
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: any black and white scenes in Star Trek, and yeah,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the the what you just mentioned is there. And then
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I'm I had a memory, and I was trying to
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: figure out what episode it was, because I remembered somebody
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: was only perceiving things in black and white just for
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: a moment, and then somebody adjusted something. It was that
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: episode of Next Generation where Jordie was using his implants
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: to control Probe on another ship and he's like, I
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: need more input because all I see is black and white,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and and it changed the color, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: there was another scene where he was seeing his mom.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, yeah, you know what episode is not
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: that great when you're desperate to like look for callbacks. Yeah,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: we're mentioning other episodes more than we're mentioning this episode. No,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: it wasn't good. And the sad thing is we've said
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: it before. This is episode four of the second to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: last season and we're doing ten episode seasons.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well, hey, episode five is level five transporter accident,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: So that's gotta be the puppets it is. Yeah, he's
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: already waving it off. You can't even talk about it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: This is the one we've this is the one we've
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: been talking about for a year that.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be. Maybe it'll be like the musical episode. Yeah,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I hope, I hope.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: And not.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they've done ridiculous before, you know that, the
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Vulcan episode last year and the musical episode, and it just, yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the show is trying to be.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: That's a great question, because it's not strange New Worlds,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: not least not exploring.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Because is it trying to be lower decks? Is it
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: trying to be deep face dying at its grittiest? Is it,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: because it sure in the hell ain trying to be
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: next gen? His next gen told a bunch of good stories, right,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what this is trying to be.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: What is it trying to do is try your patients? Yes,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: very much. So yeah, okay, well let's let's get the
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: listener feedback. We've got some voicemails that'll be fun, so
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: listener feedback, all right, So yeah, if you want to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: join us in listener feedback, just x up in the
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: chat and we'll have you on. But in the meantime,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: we do have some voicemails that all went away when
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I walked out and I had to come back in.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: So here we go.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: We'll go with the first one.
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: He's Star Trek fans hope you're well, it's Tim here
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: from the South coasting that it's been a while and
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: I don't want I'm not commenting on the last episode
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: per se, but because it's not been worth it. I've
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: hated this season, right, you were talking about our Star
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: Trek's doing a different genre with each episode, and yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: you're right. The first episode was Star Trek. I actually
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: quite joined the first episode of this season and then
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: so the next genre was shit. The one after that
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: was followed by bollocks, and I expect this week after
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: it's going to be ass.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I've hated it.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: The one, the horror one, I stopped watching three two
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: thirds of the way through.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I just stopped watching. I can't deal with this.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: And I've never ever done that with any single Star
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: Trek episode ever. I've always watched it to the end,
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: but I couldn't be bothered. And I nearly did that
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: with this one. That last week. The dude wears my
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: hangover absolute nonsense. So I just wanted to send a
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: message to say, hey, I'm still a live boys and
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: I'm still listening and I love you all.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I want to see pictures of your.
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: New dog, Dan.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Dan.
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: And yeah, oh, I've got my Voyager documentary. It arrived
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: last week. I was a backer for him and it
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: was during COVID, and I think it was during the
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: first COVID. So it's been going on five six years,
• 38:01
  Speaker 9: not six seven, but five or six years. And I
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: put fifty dollars to it back in the day. We
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: finally got it and I watched it in a night
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: and I loved it. Now I need to buy the
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: what we left behind. I need I've seen it, but
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: I need to buy it on Blu Ray because I'll
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: tell you what, that's been much better than this episode
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: this season of Star Bollocks.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Anyway, have a good day, lads. I'm still listening, and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I'll try and do a voice record.
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: For the next time.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: That's his bike.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: There you go, Star Bollocks, bollocks. I'm adding that to
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: my vocabulary. I'm just going to say bollocks.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's a pretty great one time to time. Yeah,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: all right, and then we got one more voicemail, so
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: let me get that going. Here we go, so.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: Strange the World's episode four.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: That was all right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: I was hoping Core and and Bega would throw hands.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: That'd be, uh something cool to see since he's a
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: future darhar or master and whatnot.
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: Overall, the black and white visual they explained from the
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: sun its radiation was pretty cool, but you think they'd
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: still have color. Wants to shut the blast doors and
• 39:20
  Speaker 11: inside the starship. So but other than that, morally gray
• 39:25
  Speaker 11: and black.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: And white definitely felt like a sixties episode.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go. Yeah, uh sure if that's
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: what he got it out, but you can say about it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: He's right, it felt like a sixties episode. It wasn't. Yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, and of course you can join
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: us all on social media. We're on Facebook, We're on YouTube, Twitter,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: TikTok LinkedIn, not LinkedIn, Instagram, don't LinkedIn whatever.

  Speaker 2: Trek podcast.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Nice nerds. Yeah, all right, we got some we got
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: some guys waiting.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I wore my Trek cast shirt at the reunion yesterday.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, nice. Yeah all right, Well we got Jacob
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: uh huh oh yeah, represent yeah, represent Jacob, and Jazz
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: is waiting, so let's let's bring him on. We'll bring
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: on Jacob first. Oh Jacob, Oh no, he froze. All right, Jacob,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: you'll have to pop out and bought back in. Uh So,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, we'll get jazz Biz because he's still
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: moving around the celestial temple there he is.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, jazz Biz, what's up, Chaz biz.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Would you would you think you like the black and white?
• 41:15
  Speaker 10: It took me. You're in a half sittings, I would
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: say to watch this episode. Oh no, yeah, I try
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: to watch it late. It was a Thursday night, and
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: then I was like, I'm just going to bed. As
• 41:33
  Speaker 10: I noticed I was playing on my phone, I was like,
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: I don't have to rewind it and rewatch it because
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: I'm as major plot lines. And then I watched it
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: again and I was like, no, it's just a bad episode.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: You know, it was hard to follow, and I think
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: the ship, you know, the Enterprise, should at least been
• 41:50
  Speaker 10: in color.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: YEP.
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: I was like, yeah, they should have gone back and
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: forth or something, or done the first part of the
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: episode in color. And then when they launched that shut,
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: all of a sudden, you see the color suck out.
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: That would have been kind of neat.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: So well, they if I remember right, they even say like, oh,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: the whole because Ohorah says something along the lines and like, oh,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. I can't see these screens with
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: black and white. And then they say, well, let's put
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: on the shuttles. That should help, but nothing changes.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so it was so weird.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: It strange and not a good way.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: I did notice that the the opening credits have changed
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: quite a bit.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean it makes no sense.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: It's like the opening credits to Trek Cast. It's like
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: it makes absolutely no sense. What's right, that's right, Yeah,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: that's right. Yeah, all right, Well, hopefully next week is
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: better with the puppets.
• 42:54
  Speaker 10: Oh please please? Yeah, right now, if you rank the season,
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: there's only one decent episode and that was maybe the
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: first episode, right, and after that it's just gone downhill.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that wasn't an incredible episode. That was just
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: a decent episode, Yeah, exactly. And that's not an episode
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: that we would watch over and over and over again. Well,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: and the funny thing is is like when they did
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: that one, the the reactions were almost universally we love it, yes,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and now and now all the other episodes, like I
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: get they want to try different things, but it's not
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: working because you get a fifty result at best, you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: And it's.
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: Like worst Nurse Chapel and worst Pike this season. It's
• 43:39
  Speaker 10: like and they're sitting in the background and they're.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Lying and being lied to.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's really weird, do you guys. I know I've
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: said this before, but and Bega, I have a hard
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: time when he talks.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, he's difficult to he's difficult to understand. He has
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: an acts and he has a raspy voice, and he's
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: soft spoken.
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: Yes, very soft spoken, because he always talked really lightly
• 44:06
  Speaker 10: and like you have to like listen.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: It's like he's great in Dune because that fits that.
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: That, Yeah, he's great and Dune. Well, okay, speaking of Dune,
• 44:18
  Speaker 10: they had a planet on Dune that was in black
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: and white on the sequel, so oh yeah two because
• 44:25
  Speaker 10: the hearkening planet was in black and white because there's
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: no color.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: And you know, I see the sequel to Dune, and
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the reason why is because I saw the first one.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: That's usually that's usually the reason you see a sequel
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: because you saw the first one.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: But in this case, yeah, opposite is true, interactly.
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well you got the complete story with part two, so.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was I didn't want the first story, so
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I I I'm not a Dune fan. I haven't seen
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the original. I I you know, I like the actors
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: in it. The new one, you know, La is great
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Zandia is in it and Missus spider Man.
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: Uh fans going.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: She's not Missus spider Man, he's mister Zandiah.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, she is a lot more successful than he is.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, everything non Spider Man that he's been in
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: his kind of tanked the last few years.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, I can't wait for that.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Dunes Day don't know if you guys, uh or Doomsday.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: If you saw the new trailer, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: that looks good. I'm hopeful that it's not crap.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Vision Quest looks good too.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Quest looks good. And Lantern starts.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Lantern starts today.
• 46:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Believe so yeah, yeah, Okay, I've been looking forward to
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: that one for a long time because I see you
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: guys the other shows coming up, so we.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: May be interviewed, we may review Lanterns instead that yeah, yeast.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Episode of Star Trek this week, but we're not going
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: to talk about it.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna do it.
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: We're talking about.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Well in the off season. We always do stuff like
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: that in the off season. Maybe we can turn uh
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: what is it eight episodes for Lanterns, so maybe we
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: can do like one through four in an episode, and
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: then five through eight in another episode.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: After Stranger World is done, it'll be what what was it?
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: When the Mandalorian first came out, we'd be like, all right,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: here's it, here's Discovery, But let's talk about what we
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: really want to talk about, right Yeah?
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean we always think the Discovery was on.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: There were times when Discovery in the Orville or yeah,
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: we're running and you guys are talking more about the Orville.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it was it was better start right yeah, and.
• 47:03
  Speaker 10: We'll probably dead and it was like, no, you just
• 47:06
  Speaker 10: had their showrunners.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: So what do the fans want to hear? I mean,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: do you do you guys want us to do like
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: when they run concurrently? Do you want us to do
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: a quick recap of the Star Trek show and then
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: move on to like whatever else is popular, or do
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: you want us to wait until the season's ended and
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: then we can do it in the off season.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a good idea.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: You know, Facebook group and Instagram, you know, let's yeah,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: let us let's get going. Let's let's yeah, let us know.

  Speaker 4: six six weeks. I'm a free agent, buddy.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Hey, negotiate my car.
• 47:48
  Speaker 10: I got a perfect idea, Dan for your off season.
• 47:52
  Speaker 10: You take a photo of your dog, put some hair
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: on there, and put the Chad's background with Trek casts
• 47:58
  Speaker 10: in the back and Chad's back.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: There you go. I like it, There you go.
• 48:03
  Speaker 10: He's just not mute the whole time.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I do the pack reviews. You could do
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: a Chad review. Yeah, yeah, where Chad just sits there.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: That'd be funny. I'm just waiting for him to start
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: petting Chad like like mister Bigglesworth with Doctor Evil.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: I thought about bringing him on today, but not yet.
