  SPEAKER_02: First, I want Becky to come and say I love Jean-Luc into the mic.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_01: She does.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_01: So Becky and my wife are sisters, and they would watch I love Jean-Luc.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: They would watch Star Trek with their dad.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like was a family thing, next generation.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_01: And they would snap with the theme song.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_01: With the theme song.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_01: So we're talking Star Trek.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, the Star Trek magic set.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_02: The Star Trek Magic Set.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't want to look at any spoilers because I'm like, this is the set made for me.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: And then I looked at all the spoilers.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_01: Did you?
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: They had some good ones.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: I thought that their Kirk was really clever.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: The kirk.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_01: Do you remember the Kirk is?
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_02: There was a red mono red kirk.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the mono red kirk.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: So if you have no options, he gives you them, right?
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: You discard a card and then draw them.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_01: So if you have no cards in hand, he gives you a card.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: So he solves the unsolvable problems.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: He makes a red shirt and he buffs your team.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: With a with a rousing speech.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's a perfect Kirk.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: So really good job with their design on their Kirk.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_02: I am assuming that like their other universes Beyond Sets, there's going to be lots of different versions of all the main characters.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: Because that is a wonderful Kirk card.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_02: But at the same time, I am a strong proponent of original series Kirk, who is not red.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_02: He's blue.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_02: They've got a blue and white.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_02: White all the way through.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: They've announced the commander deck, I think.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's correct.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: White, blue, green.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, that one right there.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_01: So so yeah.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, good.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: And what does he do?
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_02: He likes spacecraft.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: Spaceships.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_03: He goes and looks for the Enterprise.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: So what you gotta remember is they release different decks for different people.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Like they released a Picard, but this is from the welcome decks that I think you get for free.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: So the Picard that you will see is not going to be the flagship card, it's going to be the free Picard.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Does that make sense?
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: And that Kirk is probably from Commander Deck.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: He's Commander Deck.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: That is spaceship focused Commander Deck.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_03: And the mono red is just the you can pull it from base set.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, sagas based on episodes, smart idea.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_03: Which is so smart.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: Signed in booster packs, cards signed by Shatner.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: You can open a booster pack and have a card in there, physically signed.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: There's 200 of them.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_03: They're leaning in.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_03: We only know that Kirk's getting one.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_03: We've Jane Way's getting one.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: Kirk and Jane Way.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_03: And there's five more to come.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we don't know what the other five signed ones are.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: So probably not Spock.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: Probably not Spock.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Alas.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Lots of cool.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: They did say they're not all captains.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's the interesting thing, because I would assume you could do all the captains, but could they maybe not get Jean-Luc?
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like if you can get Shatner, I would think, but there's just filming schedules.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like Patrick Stewart.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Patrick Stewart might have been filming stuff and things, so they might have gotten that's the one that I'm curious.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: See, and the one I would most want signed is Cisco.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: I bet they could get Cisco to sign.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: Possibly.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: I assume they can get Cisco.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: I can't remember that actor's name, unfortunately.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: Avery Brooks.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: Avery Brooks.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, who is my favorite captain?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: So we are going to take the which captain are you?
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_02: But we're probably just going to talk a lot about Snark.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't know if this is going to come up over the course of the quiz, but I am going to once again give my original series Kirk pitch.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: He is known as the Space Cowboy.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: He is known as the womanizer.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Picard makes out with so many more women than Kirk does.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Does he make out with more?
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: I've seen the original series.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_02: Many more.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Kirk makes out with a lot of people.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: A handful.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: At best.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: Picard had seven seasons.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: Kirk had two.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: By number of episodes, Kirk's got to at least be equal.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: Kirk was a rule-abiding, by the book, warrior poet captain until Star Trek III, the Search for Spock, when he decides he's going to break all the rules and commandeer a ship.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: But he also broke the rules in Starfleet, like as a cadet.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: So it's core to him.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: The Onakashimaru.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: So I have seen enough of the original series to recognize that you are overstating how much a rule follower he is, but also people way more overstate how much of a rogue wild card he is.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: He was a paragon.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: He was to represent the the at the time what you thought the great leader should be.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: All that is good and great in a naval officer.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: He represents that.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: He is more passionate in a lot of his famous scenes than Picard is, but he's also a very good captain.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's just he goes on a lot of away missions, which he shouldn't have.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: Because he's the captain, and it makes more sense when they have the first officer.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Go do that.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: But you'll notice whenever a big movie or a big moment happens, Picard is on an away mission or he's involved with the aliens directly because Patrick Stewart is such a good actor, they don't want to not have to.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't want to not have him out there either.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, you are right about Kirk.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: He is not the straight up mono red by magic.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_03: He's not the loose canon.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_03: He's not the space cowboy.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_03: But if you want to get really technical, Picard had 12 lovers.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_03: Kirk had like 10 to 12, depending upon who you ask.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: So he's Picard didn't have more.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: He had seven seasons.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Does that counting Picard's imaginary family?
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_03: I believe it is from the list I'm reading.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_03: The best episode in all of NextGen, in my opinion.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you and every other person who's ever voted on best episode.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's still good.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Alright.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we are.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna read them to us.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to read them.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: What is your dream car?
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: Red Ford Mustang, a BMW sedan, Tesla, trusty pickup truck, minivan.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_03: Awesome minivan specifically.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: My dream car is an electric hybrid that never breaks down.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: Like I could care less what brand it is, what color it is.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: So you have to pick one of these.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_02: A car is not an identity thing for me the way it is for a lot of people.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to say awesome minivan.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome minivan for you.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Because I've owned a lot of minivans.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: I've got six kids.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't need one anymore.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_01: Awesome minivan is number two for me.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: The truth is, when I was able to go buy any car that I wanted because I had a big fat advanced check, it was not that fat.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: But I felt it at the time.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: And I could go buy any car I wanted.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: I had$5,000 burning the hole in my pocket.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: I went and I bought a Mercedes sedan.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: So it was more of a roadster, but I wouldn't buy a Mustang.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: I would buy a BMW sedan.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I almost said BMW sedan.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: I have owned a BMW.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: They're reliable cars.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_03: Super fair.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: Favorite meal: steak and potatoes, grilled cheese with tomato soup, roasted chicken with root vegetables, cheeseburger and fries, jambalaya.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: Mine's pretty easy and obvious.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_01: He knows me, knows what I'm doing.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: Potatoes.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: Obviously, I want to pick jambalaya because that's the Captain Cisco answer.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm gunning for him.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: But if I'm being honest with myself, it is cheeseburger and fries.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Easy enough.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's what I want.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_02: That's a comfort food.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: So I get it.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Neither of us are going to get Picard, are we?
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, fine.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to get one of these captains I don't know.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: Because I only know four of the captains.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_02: If any of us get Michael Burnham.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't know Mike.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: She's not a captain.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: Is she a captain?
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: Every now and then they make her a captain.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: And then in, you know, the previous episode, she mutinied against the previous captain, and then they're like, Well, we're going to go ahead and make you the captain because you're so rule-abiding.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: I never watched Enterprise.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: I hear it's good.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't hear the whatever.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: Enterprise is good.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: Archer is a good captain.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: So I never saw Enterprise, and I haven't seen any of the new ones.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: Strange New Worlds.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: No Strange New Worlds.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: Because I heard that even Strange Worlds kind of isn't like they pretend it's classic Star Trek, but that's only like one out of every five episodes.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: It it has more of a kind of romantic ongoing story than Star Trek needs or wants, but I love it.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: Let's see.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: What did you study in college?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_03: Theater, physics, political silence, anthropology, kin sology.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_03: However you say that.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_03: Kinesiology.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_03: Kinesiology.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_02: Kinesiology is movement.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: Like if you're a therapist, a physical therapist.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_02: So we were both English majors, which isn't on here.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: So but I was also a double major in anthropology.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm picking anthropology.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: So my first major was biochemistry.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: So do we pick physics?
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: Because that was my first major.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: If we put you in the scientist role.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: Probably in the scientist role.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm not a theater kid.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't really match me.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: Polyci, I could see.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not an anthropologist.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: So physicist is closest to chemistry, even though I don't like physics as much as I like chemistry.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that's fair.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: Which accessory do you prefer?
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_03: Sunglasses.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_03: A nice beret.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_03: Beret?
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_03: Fun socks, wristwatch, or a baseball cap.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I want to say a nice beret just because I don't have any hair.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, baseball cap.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: Baseball cap for Dan.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: I am a hat person.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: I love hats.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't wear sunglasses.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: I don't wear berettes.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: I don't wear watches and I don't wear baseball caps.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I do occasionally wear weird socks.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have them on right now, but I do occasionally wear them.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_02: So instead of a t-shirt with a cowgirl on it, you want me to bring you socks with cowgirls on them.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: I occasionally find Willy Wonka socks in the in the socks and the only ones left, so I have to wear those.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_02: Willy Wonka socks.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: Ollie said he occasionally finds my Willy Wonka socks.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_02: Which Star Trek series did you most enjoy?
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: Obviously, Deep Space Nine is the correct answer.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: Wait what, Donald?
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have beef with DS?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, no.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_03: I have to tell this very quickly.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_03: Dan got me into Star Trek when we did Typecast RPG.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_03: He gave me a curated list for Next Gen.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: I watched Next Gen, loved it entirely.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_03: And then I watched Deep Space Nine immediately after.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_03: I still think Next Gen just holds up a little better.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: Here's the argument I'm going to make back to you.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: He gave you a curated list, right?
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_01: And then I went back and watched the entire thing.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: So I think the best episodes of Star Trek are next generation.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: The best story in Star Trek is Deep Space Night.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: Does that make sense?
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_02: I think I can give you that because the very best Star Trek story, in my opinion, is Darmok.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_02: The very best episode.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_02: The best episode is Dharmac.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: And Inner Light gets a lot.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: Chain of Command.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yesterday's Enterprise.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: Measure of a Man.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: Measure of a Man, which was Season One.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: Which is astonishing.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: So best episodes, but like where's the best story?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: The overarching story is Deep Space Nine.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: The overarching story of Deep Space Nine, how the characters interact, how the characters change has to interact with the outside world.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: So good.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: On a anyway.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: I see your point.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: So the best series is Deep Space Nine, but the best episodes Next Generation.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: I still say next generation, but I'm not taking the quiz.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: That's why you're not taking the quiz, because you're wrong about stuff.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_03: How do you prefer to travel?
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_03: Transporter, spaceship, boat, escape pod, or walking.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_02: You know, if I had a transporter, without question.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: I would be using the transporter to get into the kitchen to get breakfast and then transporting back into my bed to eat it.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: I would be the biggest, most unhealthy, wally human you've ever seen.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Snoddy beamed me twice last night.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: What would you do?
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: Spaceballs reference for those who don't know it.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: What would you do if your officer was injured on the spacecraft and was technically brain dead?
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_03: A, I'd accept their fate and let them go.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_03: B, I'd acquire alien technology to make them better.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: C, I'd download their consciousness to a mainframe and acquire a new body.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_03: D, I'd grow them a new brain and a clone.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: Or E, I'd send their family news and ask for their request.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's send the family news.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: Until that one, I was You didn't like any of these?
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: No, I mean I can get behind one and two, right?
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: I can be like, if I can acquire alien technology to heal them, that's the obvious choice, right?
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: But if the family might have reasons where they think that doesn't actually restore them, or something like that, like talking to the family seems Yeah.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: There's moral conundrums involved with all of these.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: There are.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like my gut reaction is obviously downloading their consciousness.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, really?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, that was mine too.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: Hundred percent.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: But then you should pick that one.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: That's almost certainly the worst answer on here.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: Because Because every single story about uploaded minds is about how uploaded minds are bad.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like no one's ever found a good angle on that that makes people happy.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: I think that that is not a thing that I can choose for the person.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the that's the other big thing, right?
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like I'm drawing a new brain and a clone, like you're gonna kill the clone, and is the brain them?
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: No, the clone is just half the same person.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: That is not as much of a moral concern to me.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: I I can absolutely see how that would be a moral question in the episode.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: But for me, I'm like, yeah, your other body was dead.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Is this really you or is this the ship of these version of you?
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: So that's fine with me.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm gonna pick the clone one.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: All right, all right.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_03: How frequently do you travel?
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: This is in real life.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_03: This is real life.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: I travel frequently due to work.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_03: I travel on vacation once a year.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_03: I usually travel a few times a year, or I've been waiting for a long trip to Europe, but haven't gone out much otherwise.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_03: And I travel every few times.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_03: You can pick mine, you know.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: I used to love travel and then my job beat it out of me.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: Probably I usually travel a few times a year.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: Or I've been waiting.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're you might be the I won't been waiting on a long trip for Europe.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I have been waiting on a long trip to Europe, but I do travel a lot outside of that, right?
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm gonna say I travel a few times a year.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: A few years ago, I would have picked I travel frequently due to work because I was going to, you know, sometimes 15 Comic Cons a year.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_03: All right, which social media outlet is your favorite?
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_03: Sadly, I know Brands is not on here.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, no.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or Facebook.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: I am not on any of those.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: I object to this question fundamentally.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: Well, unfortunately for that one.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_02: If I had to pick one, yep.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so Snapchat.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: All I know about Snapchat is that your photos get deleted immediately.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: Twitter is a giant like when was this made?
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: Rage font.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: I'll have to look it up.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, if it's like 10 years ago, you're gonna get off of his own.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: Or even 20 years ago Twitter?
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: Instagram, I've never used Facebook.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: I was so happy to get off of Facebook.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: But it's Facebook because you've been on it.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh you might have.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I've also been on Twitter.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: If I can say like 2010 Twitter, depends on when this is made of it.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: Right now, Facebook is better than Twitter.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and Tumblr, I've never personally used Tumblr.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: My favorite thing about Tumblr is that people on it think that they are the weirdest people in the world.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: Even though they're the same as everyone else on every other platform.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_02: And you'll see like a screenshot discussion, and they're like, oh, Tumblr is insane.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_02: No, everyone's weird.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: You're just weird on Tumblr.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's the only difference.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_03: So, okay.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: Do we know when the this was made?
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_03: There's no data on the website.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_03: I'll have to hunt it down.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: But don't worry about it, then I have to pick Facebook.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: I can't in good conscience put Twitter.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_02: I am going to choose Twitter.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: But know in your hearts that I'm talking about 2010 Twitter.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_03: Fair enough.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have a favorite star?
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_03: We mean celestial body, not a celebrity.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: I have a least favorite star.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_03: I have a star that is a friend.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_03: I try not to discriminate between the stars.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_03: Sirius, or the sun is my favorite.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna have to put the sun since it's on there, like you know.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: I try not to discriminate between the stars.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Totally fair.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: Alrighty.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: I guess I would say my favorite one would be Vega, because it's the one in contact.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_02: But no, I don't discriminate.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_03: That is soul.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_03: Alrighty.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_03: Which non-Star Trek spaceship would you like to pilot?
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_03: The Millennium Falcon, X301, the TARDIST, the Serenity, or an X-Wing?
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_03: What is X301?
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's a great question.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna look.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_03: Let's find out.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm glad you don't know, Donald, because I was feeling dumb.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_02: But I don't know what it is either.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_03: Hold up.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna pull it right over here.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_03: It's this.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's Stargate.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: Never seen Stargate.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: Same.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: Same.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: Never watched it.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_02: Ben is the first one.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: Is Ben a Stargate person?
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: I know he's a Farsgate person.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: I thought it.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I may be thinking Farscape.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: I think you'd think it's a Farscape.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: Peter.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: Peter is the Stargate person.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: Ben is the Stargate show.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: There's no way I can't pick the Millennium Falcon for this.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: I had a feeling.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: I have to pick the TARDIS because it makes the most sense.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Being able to travel through space and time is just inherently more powerful.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, granted, it's more powerful, it's more luxurious inside, but no.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm definitely more of a Dr.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_01: With the Millennium Falcon than I am a Han.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, then Han Solo.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: You are neither of us is a Han Solo.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_03: But you're more a Han Solo than I am.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_03: True.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: Also, Dan did delete the entirety of the Doctor Who fan base.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_03: So.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_02: No, I didn't.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: I deleted the Gravity Falls fanbase.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: If you were allowed to make the choice, you would have picked the Doctor Who.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I didn't delete Gravity Falls.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_02: I deleted its fan base.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I deleted its fandom.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_02: Fandom.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: The fans are fine.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_02: Don't worry about them.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_02: They just don't talk to me anymore.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, good.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: Which beverage do you find most refreshing?
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: Apple cider, red wine, tea, Earl Grey hot, whiskey, soda pop.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_02: Soda pop.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: Which I rarely ever drink anymore.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_02: The apple cider doesn't refresh me.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: Like if it's apple juice, yes, but cider is very thick.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: I like a cider on a cold day.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's one of the few things I'll drink other than water.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: So where would you most like to vacation right now?
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: Miami, Ohio, Tahiti, Washington, D.C., or New Orleans?
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_03: I know Hawaii's not there.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_03: You can pick mine.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_03: There's an almost Hawaii on there.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's okay.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_03: Are you going Miami?
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: Are you saying Tahiti?
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_03: Who goes to Miami?
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_03: Somebody goes to Miami on Tahiti.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_03: Tahiti.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_02: The people in Miami don't even go to Miami on purpose.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_02: I am neither young enough nor old enough to pick Miami.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_02: There's nothing for me in Ohio.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_02: Islands?
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_02: There's nothing to do on an island.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_02: DC right now is under martial law with, you know, stormtroopers.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to pick New Orleans.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: I've never been there.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_02: My friend Claudia lives there.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_02: Claudia, yeah.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_03: So let's let's do it.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_03: Claudia Gray, go read her books.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, which pet would you most like to have for a companion?
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_03: A golden retriever, Persian cat, a gray parrot, a beagle puppy, or a miniature pig?
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my gosh.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_03: Dan, I know you love animals.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_03: This should be really easy for you.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Where's the option for a statue of a dog?
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that what a golden retriever kind of is?
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_02: No, golden retrievers have so much energy.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'd agree.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: And so much hair.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: Cats obviously are God's foulest creations.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: Whoa! I'm gonna say a beagle puppy, because it's a puppy specifically.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: You can pick for me.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's a parrot.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's a parrot.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: Whoa! They made this just for you.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_03: Which U.S.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_03: government agency or branch would you most want to work for?
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_03: The ATF, NASA, the judicial branch, the Department of Energy, or Homeland Security?
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: NASA.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: NASA.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_03: That's not even a question.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's an easy one.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_03: Which department store is your favorite?
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_03: This might date it.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_03: Which department store?
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_03: Sears, Macy, Nordstrom, JCPenney, or man, is that Beals?
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_03: I never heard of Beals.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_03: Beals.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_03: Beals.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we don't have Beals in Utah, so who knows?
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_03: Don't you know Captain Picard's?
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_01: I have shopped at one of those and I've done it a lot.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: And that is?
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, guess which one is the most expensive?
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's Nordstrom.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I was gonna say I was like, I don't know the answer.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know Beals.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: Beals might be, but Nordstrom is the bougie one.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: And that's where that's where I have shopped.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm gonna say Sears only because back when I worked in advertising, I did a bunch of Box designs and ad campaigns for Sears.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: That's shocking.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_03: Where do you keep your notes and reminders?
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_03: The notepad on your phone, small spiral band notebook, a locking notebook, voice memos on your audio recorder, or post-it notes.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_03: Notepad on my phone.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_03: Same for me.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_03: I've got tons of notes on there.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yep, that makes sense.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_03: What is your favorite relaxing evening activity?
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_03: Playing video games, playing cards with friends, stargazing, going for a walk, or watching sport games of the season.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: I know Brandon's, I think.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_03: This one?
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well Magic of the Gathering is a good thing.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's a good point.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: I think cards with friends.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: If I had the option to play the video game or go do a draft with my friends, I will pick the draft with friends every time.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's totally fair.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: As long as it's with friends.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: I won't go to the game store over playing a video game.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: But with my friends, yeah.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: Makes sense.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so we're recording this in the middle of the World Cup, and I will say that watching the sports games are not relaxing.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_02: I get so into them.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_02: Playing video games.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: Are you gonna come watch the World Cup?
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: Are you doing a final watch?
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: I think that the well, I'm not.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: Adam is.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: So Adam is.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, of course he is.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_02: Probably not.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna stay at home and use my smoker.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_02: Make something delicious.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: By the way, before we leave the subject of playing video games, my new video game obsession is Darktide.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yes! Do you play Darktide?
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: I love Dark Tide.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_02: I knew you would play Darktide.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: It is Warhammer 40k Helldivers.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_02: The game loop is that you have a character and you decide what weapons you're taking and then you get matched up with three other people and you go and do it.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: So Helldivers is procedurally generated, which I think is a point in its favor.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: In Darktide, you're kind of doing the same dungeon crawls over and over.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_02: But on the other hand, Darktide has a much better character customization system and character leveling up system.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: I just love it so much.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_02: Darktide's awesome.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_03: Have you played Scotari yet?
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_02: I've played all of them.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, good.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_02: I think that Zealot is my favorite so far.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_02: Just a melee zealot with the heavy eviscerator.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: Well, not my kind of game, but I'm glad you enjoy it.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_03: That's great.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_03: 40k is the best.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_03: Alrighty.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_03: What's your favorite kind of outfit?
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_03: My work uniform is my favorite.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_03: Business formal, formal wear is my favorite.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_03: Jeans and a t-shirt.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_03: Business casual.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_03: Brandon, what are you wearing right now?
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a jacket, which that is my work uniform.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, it is.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: But at home I don't wear that.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_01: I just wear the jeans and t-shirts.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, my work uniform is shorts and a t-shirt.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, today I have long pants on.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: That's true, work uniform.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_02: But that's just because I don't care what I look like at work.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_02: I just wear what I always wear.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_02: I want to say jeans and a t-shirt.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_02: But I d hate jeans.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: I don't like wearing jeans at all.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna pick it on the understanding that it just means the casual one.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, because otherwise if you pick work uniform, makes sense.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, what snacks do you like the most while traveling?
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_03: Beef jerky, mustard pretzels, sugar snap peas, popcorn, or potato chips.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_03: Is this a road trip or am I flying somewhere?
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's Star Trek.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_03: You're flying.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_02: Because if it's road trip, I'm taking the sugar snap peas.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: But if I'm flying somewhere, it is the mustard pretzels.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: Does the air change the pretzels?
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's that if I'm flying, I will also have a drink.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: Ah.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, I would have a drink on a road trip as well, but I always like vegetables on a road trip because of how much water is in them.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: Carrots and snap peas.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: That's my driving food.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: So my favorite snack is popcorn, but I actively take beef jerky when I'm traveling because you don't get enough protein, and it's good for you to have something to snack on that isn't like chips and stuff.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: So I think I have to pick beef jerky.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: That's smart.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Just because I actually do it.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: I take it traveling.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm changing mine to the snap peas because I'm hungry and that's what I want on that list.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_03: What is your greatest fear?
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_03: The unknown, clowns, making the wrong decision, flying in an airplane, or losing my family.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I know we're both gonna pick this one.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_03: Losing my family.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I'm saying.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_03: Since uh Living for Eternity isn't on there.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_03: We should be getting near the end.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_03: What is the best part about being on a Star Trek spaceship?
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_03: Transporters, the holodeck, helping free oppressed groups is wonderful.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_03: Exploring the unknown is amazing.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_03: Or developing a great rapport with the group is the best thing.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_02: So anything you pick that isn't freeing oppressed groups, you just look like an a-hole.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_02: Obviously, I enjoy freeing oppressed groups.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I enjoy freeing oppressed groups as well.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: Not gonna lie, I missed that one.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: I want to pick exploring the unknown, but now that means I'm leaving the oppressed groups not free.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: You just have to answer that dog.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: The truth is we would both prefer like we're storytellers.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: The holodeck would be so cool to play with.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, they have to.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, which region of the United States do you enjoy the most?
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_03: Plains, Great Lakes, the West, New England, or the Deep South?
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_03: The West.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the West for me as well.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_03: It's where I live.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_03: Makes sense.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_03: It's also West Coast.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_03: I love.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_03: All right, which internet browser do you use?
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: How did they decide which captain used which internet browser?
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_01: I have no idea, but I'm getting skeptical of these questions.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: Firefox.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_02: No question.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: Also use Firefox.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_02: Firefox, Firefox.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: They go back and forth whether Firefox or Chrome is better.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_01: I actually do.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_01: At the moment, Firefox is better.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_01: So it's really handy to have two browsers where one is just browse random things.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's Firefox for me.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: And then the other is all my work stuff, my email, my calendar, and it always just has those pages open.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I just have them both on the taskbar.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: So if I yeah.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_02: I have those open in Firefox.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_03: That's fine.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_03: We should be on the last five or six.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_03: We'll go faster.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_03: We'll go faster.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_03: Favorite exercise: running, swimming, tai chi, tennis, or baseball?
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_03: Swimming.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_03: Running.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_03: Running.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_03: What would you do if your spaceship was stranded across time and space?
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_03: Start a new life after realizing that returning is futile.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_03: Cause a rift in time and space to get my alternate timeline self to my crew returned.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_03: I'd rely on our allies of space to help us.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_03: I talked to every ship I could to find the technology to send us back.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_03: Honestly, I'm not sure my shipmates and I would even notice.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_03: Oh man.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_02: I have to pick the alternate timeline because I love the idea that this quiz presupposes I just have them on speed dial.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_01: Like I'm going to get Janeway.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: I could just easily cause a rift in time and space.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_02: Come on.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: I would talk to every ship I could to find a technology.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: No, I'm I can't say the same thing as you because we're gonna get the same captain otherwise.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna give the Janeway answer.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_01: Rather than the what Kirk answer.
• 29:00
  unknown: Yeah.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_03: Fair enough.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_03: How do you get around large cities?
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_03: Driving, taxis, Uber, bus system, subway.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_02: Subway, if it's an option.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_02: I will always prefer that.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_03: I will take the taxi.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_03: Taxi.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_03: Which military service would you prefer to join?
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_03: Army, Navy, Space Force, Air Force, Coast Guard.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_03: Probably Air Force.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say Space Force.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: Just because I don't know what they do.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_02: They sit in rooms and monitor.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_01: I read what they do.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's actually really relevant.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's like monitoring where you can place like the satellites and all of that stuff.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like they are helpful.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's the one where I can stay on the ground the most.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_03: So true.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_03: How would your friends describe your outward personality?
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_03: Outgoing, competent, brooding, proud, or tense?
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_03: Donald, you get to choose these.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_03: I have to choose these?
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, if we're being brutally honest, Brandon is proud.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_03: I was gonna say competence.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, I'll take it.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_03: And then Dan, I will be either tense or brooding.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_02: Well, which of my mental disorders do you want to favor today?
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: Brood is six or depression.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_03: So all right.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_03: I would say brooding because when I walk into your office, sometimes I just see you and you emanate the vibe of like I'm a serious author.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_01: So right, this one's easy because you've got Kirk, you've got Picard, you've got Cisco, you've got Janeway, and I guess tense must be Archer.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if any of them are tense.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_03: Saru from Discovery.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_03: Final question: which book would you bring with you on the ship?
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_03: 1984, Jane Eyer, Othello, Frankenstein, and To Kill a Mockingbird.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_03: Oh man.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm gonna pull it out in the midst of freeing oppressed peoples, which as you know is my favorite hobby.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: I have to pick To Kill a Mockingbird.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm picking Frankenstein because it's the one on there I like the most.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_01: 1984 is pretty good, but I mean Othello Shakespeare.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_02: Frankenstein is great.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_02: To Kill a Mockingbird is actually the book that made me a fan of literature.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's the book that taught me how to read books.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: Brandon, you are Janeway! Jane Way!
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: I knew it was Janeway.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_01: I told you.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_01: I was picking the Janeway answers.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: I am Janeway.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'll take Janeway.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: Janeway's a good captain.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: Janeway's a great captain.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: Dan, you are Sisko.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_01: Oh Cisco.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I've never been so happy in my life.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_02: This makes up for me having what's his bucket as my Sirius Black and my book boyfriend.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's the best of the book boyfriend.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_03: I'm still jealous.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_03: You don't have PETA, at least.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yes.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_02: It says you really likes uh Sirius Black.
• 31:52
  unknown: She was like, come on, that's that's noise.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_02: You are most like Captain Sisko due to your strong will in the face of conflict.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_02: Starfleet Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko was resilient as he faced the challenges of taking care of both his family and the way station of deep space.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_02: Despite these difficulties, he managed to keep everything together and still find time for a game of baseball or two.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like Captain Sisko, don't forget to have fun, even in the midst of stress.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_02: You are Cisco-like.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_01: I am.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_01: That describes me so well as well.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: You are very Cisco-like.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_01: I am very Janeway-like.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_01: You are.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_01: And so I knew I was like, due to your analytical personality, you're most like Catherine Janeway.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: Captain Catherine Janeway had the mind of a scientist.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: She was always looking at every possibility and skeptical of every situation.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_01: She was also very brave and extraordinarily ethical, always worrying about the consequences of her actions.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_01: These attributes made her a great captain through very trying times, and these similarities in personality will serve you well in your life.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_01: I actually think it describes you so well.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_01: If I'm looking at Oh, I just messed that one up.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_01: If I'm looking at the captain, Janeway is the most like me.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I think Cisco is the most like you of the ones that I know.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_01: So this is the first of these tests I've taken where I'm like, actually, you nailed it.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_01: Like if you'd said Picard for me, I would have been flattered, but I'm not very Picard-like.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_02: So and having Cisco, you know, and it points out things like he's the family man.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_02: He is the one who guides you through crises.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_02: He is the one who likes baseball.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't know how to pick baseball.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_01: And I still got it.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how they decided which of the social media processers they did, but they did a good job.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's because picking Twitter, it knew then that my mind could handle a constant barrage of negativity and horror.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_02: And so it said, Well, that sounds like Cisco to me.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: Plus, he picked the minivan because he's got kids.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, there we are.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_02: There you go.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, which one do we think Ben is?
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_01: Who's that one you said from Discovery that we hate?
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_01: Michael Burnham?
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I thought it was really cool that they had a man's name become a woman's name for that.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_01: Then I realized Michael was originally a woman's name in the Bible.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: So it was a woman's name, then became a man's name.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_01: Michael Burnham.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_01: Do you think Ben is Michael Burnham?
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_02: Is Ben constantly breaking the rules and doing things that are ill-advised?
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_02: He's constantly constantly getting rewarded for making bad decisions and screwing people over.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_01: Constantly aggravated that the rest of us are messy and sloppy and that he's clean, dresses nice, and doesn't want to deal with our crap.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so he's Picard then.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_01: He really is.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_01: He really is.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: So we have decided, Ben, there you go, you're Picard.
