  Speaker 1: a basic break job. I hate doing it, but it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing where if you know how to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: do it, you might as well do it because they'll
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: charge you four times what it costs to do it yourself. Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I put a thermostat in my wife's van about a
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: year ago because I looked up what the parts cost.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I looked up what the job would cost. Yeah, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, I'm just going to watch some
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: YouTube videos and do it myself. And I did, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: it took half the day, but you know, it was
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: a seventy five dollars part and half a day instead
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: of you know, four hundred and fifty dollars.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Or right, something like that. And the sad part is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is I'm getting pretty good at it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And the other stuff that the other stuff they're going
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: to find, you know, while I was in there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I put my blinders on. You know, I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: not looking at the rusty shocks or the things that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: are like about ready to fall off, or you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the lines that are like falling apart.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: No, I can do that. The mechanic's not going to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: do that. He's going to come back with a list.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah well, oh yeah, oh no, I got a from theop.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, I would make a terrible engineer.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: You know, it's funny about about a month ago, my
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: my daughter had a doctor's appointment in another in another city.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: So we were, you know, we were like eighty miles
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: from home, and and all four of us went and
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: we dropped off my son and I dropped my my
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: wife my daughter off at the doctor's appointment. We were
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: just going to kick around for for an hour. But
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: on the way up the like you know the squirter
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: on the hood that squirts the washer fluid at the yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: at the windshield. Okay, so one of them wasn't working,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So I told her, So, I told my wife, while
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you're in there, I'll take a look at it. So
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I popped the hood because usually like the little hose
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: will come off and you can you can reattach it
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and and it's and it's fine.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: So that's exactly what it was.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: But as I looked at it, it was it wasn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: that it came off. Is that it broke off. The
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: plastic part is old and brittle, and it broke. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, let me see if I can
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: move the one from the pastor side to the driver's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: side and that'll get us home. As soon as I
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: touched the other one, that one broke, right, So now
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: we got nothing. It's the middle of the winter. There's
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: salt all over everything. I told I told my son,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: come on, we're gonna go to Walmart. We're gonna get
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: some duct tape, and I'm gonna tell you about a
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: man named mcgiver And I proceeded. I proceeded to explain
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to him who mcguyver was. And then we relocated those
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: squirters to the outside of the hood and duct taped
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: them in place. And since the van is silver in color,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: no one even really knows.

  Speaker 6: as well, which I know was yesterday, but hey, excuse me,
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: I feel that as we get older, to celebrate more
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: than one day. Mare I say, a weekend, a week,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: could it even.
• 9:15

  Speaker 6: to fly out to celebrate my nephew's birthday, so it's
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: been a bit crazy. His birthday was the fifteenth, and

• 9:45
  Speaker 6: they were twenty two, nineteen ninety three. What are you

• 10:21
  Speaker 6: feel this is my little mantra that I do nowadays.

  Speaker 6: As we get older, I feel like we should celebrate
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: our birthday not just on that one day, but we

  Speaker 6: should give ourselves the permission to celebrate it for maybe
• 10:33

  Speaker 6: I am so grateful that Jeene Roddenberry sixty years ago
• 10:58

  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, he's lifting weights, that's all he does the entire.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Scottie, what are you doing down there? I need faces?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I need him now? Helludi, you mother.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: For me, that's an ole bit. It was so great.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Hey donkey, you're a donkey.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: What's up with that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Spark?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: You got?
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: Smock? I can't even look how Red Scott is dirt.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: So apparently he didn't understand the script and there was
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: a timing issue that just didn't work out. We didn't
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: understand the script. Yeah, so.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: That's fine. We dodged a bullet on that, I think.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so there you go. Aliens, animals, all right?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Talk about transformation though, you know Chris Hemsworth played George
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Kirk and then five minutes later played Thor Yeah and wow, yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: like what a physical like? I mean, you know you can,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you can, you can downplay your physicality depending on that,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you know, do a few less push ups before set
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and and the uniform you wear. But man,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: did he look not like a jacked ripped god of
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: thunder in oh nine track and then five minutes later,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you know he was Thoor And what talk about? I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: think that's acting, chops, really, I mean, you don't really
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: think of Chris Hemsworth as having acting jobs, and you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: don't really think about the physicality of a of an
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: actor as part of the acting but you know that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: takes some work. Oh yeah, to balk up like that
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and to commit to the role. And you know that's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: a transformation.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen him in a lot outside of the
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Marvel movies, so you know, no knowing that, uh, knowing
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: that he's Australian and then watching Star Trek O nine
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: and hearing his like americanized accent, it's weird. Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, do you want to read this in the uh
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: in the Mark Wahlberg.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Nero. I get the you're playing it blowing up,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: sucks and all, but you being kind of a dick
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: No, not love it?
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, man, I know karate, I know karate it
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: being kind of a dick about it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Jack, I want to do the scene. I want to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: do it now.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And yeah, chas Tom Hardy to Tom Hardy. Even more
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: so that that was the biggest one right there, when
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: he went from shin Zen to Bane and I know
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that was a longer time frame and and and the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: actor went through some personal issues like after after Nemesis,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: he went through some depression and some personal issues and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: some Yeah, he had a rough time after that, but
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the dude was rail thin and I mean, you remember
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: what Shinzon looked like. It was just a skinny, little
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: bean pole. And it wasn't that many years later that
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: he was bane. Yeah, I'm beating the shit out of Batman.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: But even now he's a bigger guy. He doesn't look
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: he doesn't look like he did in uh in Star
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Trek and right. I remember the first time I heard
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: that it was the same guy. I had to go
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: look it up. I'm like, wow, there's no way that's
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: the same guy.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: And it was yeah, all right, well we should get
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: to the main topic.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: No, so listener feedback.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, all right, here we go.
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: Fun will Now comments.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Will at seven Will fun Now comments.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That's hard to say. It's hard to say. Uh. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: So this was episode seven of Starfleet Academy. Yeah, apparently
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: we took a break and where the characters took a
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: break from school, but we didn't because we watched it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: They had their what are they call it, all World's Day,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: like their equivalent of spring break.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Sure it was only four days long, though.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was interesting. It was like a long weekend.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: So I had my notes here and then I had
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: to edit my notes because at first I wrote down
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: no digital Dean. It was a different voice, and then
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: later the Digital Dean returned. Yeah, yeah, so there was
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: there were some announcements and it was it was obviously
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: not uh Stephen Colbert. So I don't know what that
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: was all about. Yeah, which segues right into my next thing,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: that says, the announcements are dumb. Mm hmm. If you're leaving,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: don't forget to bring your luggage. That was one of
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the announcements.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: And if and if you're putting on shoes, don't forget
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: to tie them.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: That was another announcement. I didn't even catch that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh no, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: That's no, they didn't say that. That was that's a
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: note to myself. That's the equivalent of you're putting on
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: your shoes, don't forget to tie them, right, I'm sorry.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I took these notes theirs. I didn't rewatch the episode
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: this morning. I usually rewatch it Sunday morning, and I
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: just I wasn't in the mood. But I don't know.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Some of these announcements, they're just they're dumb, and I
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: know they're meant to be funny, some of them. If
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I hear once more about cadets. So and so's Telaxian
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: for a fly. It's like, what are we doing here?
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: This is is this supposed to be comedy?
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned luggage, and she was the last girl
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: was trying to pack her suitcase, her really really really
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: big suitcase for a four day trip. Why do we
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: need so much luggage in the thirty first century? You
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: do not, Nope with programmable matter and replicators and what
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: do we what are we afraid that we're forgetting you?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: You don't need anything.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You don't need anything. I mean the clothes on your back,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and then hey, replicator swimwear and toothpaste and underwear and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Why are they? Why are they? They have the transporters
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: set up like a like a bus station. Yeah, they
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: have a person there with a clipboard saying, all right,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: you're going to You're going to Iowa, have a good trip,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: and you step through. Okay, you're going to Paris, France,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: have a good trip. And they and they step through.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: They're all wearing they're all wearing transporters. They're all wearing
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: these new combat slash tricorder slash everything button on their shirt.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Why do you need a staff member with a clipboard
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: directing you? It's just none of that. None of this
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: makes sense. I kept thinking, you've progressed the technology so
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: far that nothing matters.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, they've written themselves.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And then you do things like you have thunderstorms on Earth.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Why I wonder about that too. Wasn't the climate controlled?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Like, yes, well, you still need rain, I would imagine.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess seasons, you know, I mean water plants
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: and all that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: What you know, blood's not the only thing that makes
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the green grass grow.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: What, but you can have rain without a thunderstorm. M
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: if you have an environmental control system that controls all
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: aspects of the weather, you could set it to set
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: it to Florida where it rains for thirty minutes every
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: afternoon at two o'clock, that it dries up by three.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So what was the point? I guess, like Jaden
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: saw the one kid get kidnapped, or that's what he
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: thought it was, and so he followed him.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, that's what it was. That what that's
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: what it was.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: That was pointless.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: That was a kidnapping occurring on a military base, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: and no, one's the wiser. So these these people infiltrate
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: a military.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Base and using an iconian portal.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: There's no there's no security in place, there's no security
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: protocols in place. They can just walk onto a military
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: base and abduct the cadet and it's fine. And then
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Jaden stands there with his thumb in his ass, has
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: no idea.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: What doesn't call for help? Doesn't call for help?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: You know, there's two words.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: This is star Trek.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: There's two words. He had a job. He taps his
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: chest and he says intruder alert. That's it. That's all
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: he had to do. And since this is the thirty
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: second century and we've already established that there are holographic
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: security guards on this base, theoretically he should tap his
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: chest and say intruder alert, and bam, wherever he is
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: suddenly there's fifteen holographic security officers. Yeah, but again, you've
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: you've you've progressed the technology so far, you've written yourself
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: into a corner. But you have also forgotten your own
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: rules that you that you establish for yourself by making
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: this techniques so advanced.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, a waiting game, I think makes a great
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: point when the technology starts to border along the lines
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of magic. The rules of sci fi go out the window.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: The show needs rules that makes sense, even if that's
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: total fiction. Something we can can cling on to to,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you know, to help us make sense of the show
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that they forgot to establish.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Yep, but it ends up. I wants the other guy's name. Yeah, no,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: not Kyle Well not got kidnapped.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Oh the shape shifter.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, busy, we we we only saw that once and
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: then he went and then he went home this episode
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: and everybody everybody else like that looks human.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like the Zach Morris. So, Zach Morris got kidnapped, and.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, Zach bs is trash.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: He got kidnapped. Ends up he was gonna get gonna
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: get married, and that was part of the ritual, was
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: kidnapping him. And so Jaden ended up being his best
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: man at the at the wedding. Darren Okay, thanks Wildville, Darren.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Darren is trash.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: There you go. Uh And so yeah, Jayden goes following
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: after him, and it ends up he was long ago
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: betrothed to some princess or between the two of them,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: they were ended up leading the planet. Yeah, I guess. Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: royalty Jess, because I think he's more like a c Slater. Yeah,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: I mean I kind of feel like, like, you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: who's who's screech? Oh yeah, yeah yeah, I feel like
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: you can make an argument that a holographic later. Yeah, yeah,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: she's more screech. But yeah, So they have the wedding.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: They're going through it apparently, uh, you know, Slater or
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Morris doesn't Zach Morris doesn't want to get married, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: but he can't not do that because the planet relies
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: on him. He has to get married too. What is
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: it like to bring all the families together or something?
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Or we're just because it's expected of him.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I don't guess.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: I guess they don't.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Really, they don't really cover it.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: It was very vague. The whole point of the a
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: story was very very vague.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So they make it sound like her parents are
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: currently ruling and they are abdicating the throne, so she
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: needs to get married so that she can take the throne.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: But then they also refer to him as royalty, so
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: he's already royalty. So is he a distant cousin of hers?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Are there multiple royal bloodlines? I don't know some of
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: this might have been interesting to learn. Yeah, watching the show,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: we learned none of it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And and so they end up getting married, but
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: at the ceremony, Jaden gives a speech about how great
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Zach Morris is and how much he's learned about him
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: in Starfleet Academy. And after that, the new spouse says, hey,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I hear about this guy. That sounds so great. I've
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: never met him. You've always been so quiet into more. Uh,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: you know, did get married? Yeah, they got married? Was yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: they got married? Yeah? Okay, And so she like says,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: we'll get a divorce. It'll be fine, we'll in all
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: the marriage. I can just go ahead and rule without you.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: You can just go back to school at school, dude.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: So she doesn't get spousal Starfleet benefits.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: No, And so we didn't need to go through all this.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you can just toss it that.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Easily, you know, this good thing? There were no stakes.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's just so no, go ahead, I'm sorry,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: that's gonna see it. It makes no sense. And the
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: thing is, like I get that we needed to do
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: like a quieter episode after last week's really heavy episode
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: right where we killed the Vulcan kid, but like you
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: had an ability to do something with that in that
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: like one of the last things the Vulcan kid said
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: before he died was the needs of the many outweigh
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: the needs of the few, right, And he could have
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: even had brought that up at the wedding ceremony, like
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I have to do this because then like it's like
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: that kid said, right, like you.
• 33:24
  Speaker 13: Know, yes, you're saying this, and I'm like, if they
• 33:28
  Speaker 13: had been sitting around at table, yeah, planning these things out,
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: that's that's something you know, we've often we've often said
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: Star Trek works best when it's small, self contained episodes, but.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: If if you are going to have.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: A continuous story, like they've done in the last ten years,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: then you know, coordinate with each other on these things.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Run these run these threads through them, through the through
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: the stories that maybe it's not the main overarching story,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: but it's just fallout, it's it's it's significant what happened
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: to them last week is relevant to what's happening this week, right, And.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Then you could have had even so he says that, like, hey,
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: I learned that lesson from this guy. I've got to
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: do things for the greater good. But then Jaden, because
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: of his experience, could be like, yeah, I know what
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: it's like to try to do that and live up
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: to things and it's not you and you're miserable. Like
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I tried to do that for my family, and now
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I'm here because I had to be true to myself. Right,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: So it's like the it's like the devil and angel
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: on both of his shoulders, right, yeah, yeah, giving them both,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: and so like ultimately he needs to decide what he's
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: going to do, right, and like, you're still building off
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: the lore you've already built. It's all right there. It's
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: pretty easy, and it would have made it more interesting.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Jaden's a hypocrite. Yeah. There's a point where
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: he says to Darrem, what is that ridiculous ornament on
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: your head?
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: Ha?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Ha?
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: What a culturally insensitive thing to say to someone you
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: are visiting their planet for the first time. He's obviously
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: wearing the clothing of his culture, and your first thing
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: that you say to him is, what is that ridiculous
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: ornament on your head?
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, you wear in a dress.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Dude, you're wearing a dress. You're the best man at
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: a wedding. This is how they wrote this episode. The
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: best man at a wedding is wearing a dress and
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: the maid of honor is wearing pants. Because they're trying
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: to make a statement. That's what they're doing. They're trying
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: to make a statement. Fine, but at the same time,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: you have someone making fun of someone else's culturally relevant tire.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Uh, they look like dresses, that's the That's what I
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: kept thinking of that scene between war F and riker
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: yep Rikers, Like that is an incredibly outdated and sexist attitude. Besides,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: if you look good in address. Yeah, the only time
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I laugh at at and get any kick out of
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: these episodes is when I hark it back and think
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: back of other like TNG Deeply Signed Voyager episodes. It's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: like the only time I get joy. It's like, oh,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: there's the doctor that reminds me of what I love
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Star Trek m.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: So the B plot is a c and girl boss.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, girl like Kelly, she's more like, uh not Lisa.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Who's the other one's name, Jesse?
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm trying to think of a caffeine pill joke.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: But but anyway, So they're they're running around goofing off,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: and they're playing like Gus lago or or or or
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: whatever they're they're doing in the science lab. And then
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: they spent a significant amount of time chasing this warp
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: slug around the around the academy and trying to shoot it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: With the with the mister Freeze laser gun.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, like we had episodes of Star Trek where who
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: was who was the tactical officer on Enterprise, Red Reid
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: wanted to go on a hunting trip with those aliens
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: and archers, Like, but you can't shoot anything, You're just
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: there to observes. No, I won't I won't shoot anything.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I won't hurt. It won't hurt another life form, Captain,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: don't worry. And these kids are running around shooting warp slugs.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: It's what you do.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're trying to deliberately hurt an innocent life form.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: And that's the least Star Trek like thing I can
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: think of. I mean, we have Peanut Hamper because they
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: weren't allowed to reprogram that thing because oh I think
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: it's I think it's self aware. Yeah, that, and you know,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: you have transporters if you need to get it back
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: in the bucket, just lock onto it and transport it
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: back into there. But you know, there's whatever.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Well, so her whole storyline is that she's been she's
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: been nominated to go on to the the command track, right,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: the Captain's track as they call it. So but to
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: do that, her whole application to story for these is
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: going to be reevaluated, and apparently that's going to be
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: a problem. So she needs to get her evaluationing and
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know, fix it, I guess.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Or yes, can can anybody explain? Why?
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: So didn't they all pick a track on their first
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: day before they walk through the makeover machine because is
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: an ac slater undeclared?
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so what I think you have to be nominated
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: for the Captain's track, but who knows?
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, but but then what is the command track? Right?
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense, No, it absolutely does not make sense,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Like like everything on this show, like just little things
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: like this is this is a military installation and it's
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: deserted for a holiday. Yeah, there would still be security there,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: there would still be support staff there. Hey, there are people,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: there are people who are not There are people who
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: are not cadets. But this is their post. They live there.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: There are homes there, there are schools for their children there,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: there are hairdressers there, there's you go on, you go on.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I've been to West Point. West Point is a military
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: base that also happens to be a military academy. So
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: there's a there's a supermarket, there's restaurants, there's you know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: it's a little it's a little self contained town. There's
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: schools for the children of the service members that are
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: that are stationed there. Uh, it's a whole town. The
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: idea that it would just be deserted because it's yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Any any military installation. You're there on Memorial the weekend. Yeah,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: there's not as many people there, but there are still
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: people there running the town. A military base is like
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: dance at a small town. The stores are still open,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: the you know, the cops are still around. The know.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's still functions.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: And the idea and then two of them can just
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: walk onto the bridge and start, you know, messing with shit.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: It's just it makes no sense. It's so stupid. And
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: if they did do that, they would be fired, they
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: would be kicked out of the academy. It's it's the
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: equivalent of you know, it's Saturday afternoon, there's no classes
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: at West Point, but you know what, let's take this
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: tank first spin.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Right Yeah? Right? So, and yeah, why did they What
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: was her motivation to begin with? Like I tried to
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: understand her, she she had to do something with her
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: application because in her their application they were going to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: find out because they were going to scrutinize her application because.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: From what I understood, she had falsified her application and
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: changed her letters of recommendations to what were originally stated,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: and so she was afraid that when they re evaluated
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: her application they would realize they were falsified and kick
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: her out.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: That part I caught. Okay, why did she her motivation
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: for why she falsified?
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Because somebody put that she was motivated by fear instead
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: of duty, and so she didn't want to be known
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: as a timid person or a cowardly person.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, she thought she was pretty damn thin reason to
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: start this b plot in the first place.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've kind of established that pretty much
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: anyone can go to this academy.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Like covering up a criminal like a criminal activity, or
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: covering up an identity, theft, or covering up something big.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: But like the further and further they got into this,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: and the further and further that she got into her
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: explanation why she was doing this, It's like, well, I
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: didn't want anybody to know that the reason why I
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: originally applied for the academy was because I was scared
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to do I did it out of fear.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Like wait, what, But again, the reality.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Is nobody gives a shit.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: If she did those things, why is she still there?
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: She should be fired. She committed felonies, Yeah, why is
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: she still there?
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Well, and while Bill makes a good point, it was
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: big in her mind. It wasn't necessarily that it was big,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: but it was big in her mind. The thing is
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: for me. It kind of shows how incompetent the Federation
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: has become, because you had those people kidnap a student
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: and nobody seemed to notice until Jaden popped through the
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: through the hole and went and try to rescue him. Right,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: so apparently intruders can just get in there and it's
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: not an issue, right, Like, they don't they don't realize
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: technology is being used on whatever. And then her falsifying
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: documents and nobody noticed originally, so what's going on with
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: the federation. Are we just like super Incompetent plus last
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: week and applications.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Through AI where they can like look for inconsistencies.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Or but even then, now that you know, you just
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: gotta let her stay. Yeah, once you've got her Dadmirle,
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna go against him.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Apparently, Hey, everything's cool. Yeah, you can get away with us.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: I almost think they should have made her Advance's daughter.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: It's like no one's watched Star Trek. Yeah, our first
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: duty is to the truth. That's what Jean Luke Icard
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: said to Wesley Crusher to convince him to tell the
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: truth and do the right thing. Our first duty is
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: to the truth. Now who are we saying that to?
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Are we saying that to Girl Boss? Or are we
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: saying that to Captain Nala? You know now that she's
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: a liar? Why is she there? Yeah, she should be gone.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're at the very least some sort of like
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: demotion or something.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: What are you going to demot to?
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, yeah, you kick her out and you can
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: apply again next year.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: But out of the Command Track program. And they got
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: four hundred hours of community service to do, which will
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: be done by the next episode.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Right, Oh yeah, yeah, that's anything.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Because between last episode and this episode, a month has
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: gone by, so dime has no meaning anywhere. And then
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: they were also uh a c. Slater was also spending
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the entire episode trying to pen a letter to.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: Max to Kelly, that's right, yes.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, why can't just write the letter?
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: If all you say is I wanted to write you,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I hope you're doing okay.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: I don't understand people that that him and Haw about
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: letters like this.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: Well, even for his character doesn't make sense because he
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: was He's been on the run for so long, so
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: he could even say like, look, i know what it's
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: like to be alone. I'm not going to leave you alone.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Let me write you a letter. And then maybe she's
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: rejecting the letters or they're just being sent back something.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Right, she doesn't make She says new phone.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets the digital equivalent of like a stack
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: of letters tied up in a nice boat. Yeah, it
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: just it Forrest Gum, Yeah he got, he.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: Got, or or it could even be or it could
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: even be right that the dad is rejecting them, right,
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: because she's been in a coma. So the Dad's like,
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: I don't want you to have anything to do with
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: this guy, right, And so then when when Genesis is like,
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: I need to get on the bridge, it could have
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: been Look, if we can get on the bridge, you
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: can use their communications array and you can send your
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: letter to your girlfriend. Right, it'll it'll bypass the dad.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: You can do that. We'll get you there to do that.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Then that makes a little bit more sense and true
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: to the characters.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know see how the see how this works.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: People discussing so much. Yeah, yeah, you're still doing all
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: the same things, but.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: It just you know, there's motivation behind it.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: There's motivation. It is in line with the characters.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, trases their kids in school, kids make mistakes. Stop
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: holding them up to stirfleet protocols or comparing them to
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: the US military.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: No, it's a military academy, and she committed crimes. She
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: committed actual crimes.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't a public school.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: He committed crimes. Trying to help her cover up her
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: past crimes. That's not treating them like kids, that's treating
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: them like people.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. And the other thing too, that that kind
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: of bothered me was when he's helping Nala pack and
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: they're like buddy, buddy, and he's like, hey, we need
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: to find my mom and then never really does anything
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: else about it again, like he's not trying to hack
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: the computer to see like, Okay, what does Starfleet know
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: about my mom? What's going on? Like none of that.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: Just trust me, bro, I'm looking for her. What.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Also, this isn't a high school, right, this is this
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: is post high school. This is so, this is this
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: is university, this is this is an academy. You know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: how many for all of those who went to college,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: how many people did you know that outright cheated or
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: broke into the dean's office? Number one. I didn't know
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: anybody who just outright cheated or broke into the dean's office.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: But I've heard of those people that it happened to,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: and they outright got expelled because they got You know,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't a public school. You know, this
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: isn't this. This is an academy. This is you have
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: to apply to get in. This is the rules are known,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: you're held to a higher standard. And this is a
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: military academy or or the or the equivalent of Starfleet Academy.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: They have no they have no sense of what uh
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: the decorum should be in a military academy setting. You
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: have Kyle kissing Jaden in front of everyone. Forget for
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: a minute, heterosexual homosexual doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Public displays
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: of affection between cadets. Yeah, it would absolutely not be allowed.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Would not be allowed, whether we're talking about West Point Annapolis,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if you had a male Basically, if
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: you had a male cadet who leans over and kisses
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: a female cadet in front of in front of people,
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: not gonna happen.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Nope. Yeah, I will say I did like Sam's hair
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: poofs fun.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I like him. I like Sam. You don't know what
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: it is about her. I'm trying to figure out what
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: what she is is, what kind of hollow graham she is?
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: What kind of people?
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: I would love to know more about that.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know more about that.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: What I would have been interested in seeing what she
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: did for spring break?
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: But we did the robot people from u K.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Kaylon, I'm amazed you didn't go back to her
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: robot handlers for break. I mean, she's supposed to be
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: an emissary and report back to them.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I wanted to I wanted to see I wanted to
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: see Dwhite Schultz. I wanted to see holographic Barkley fixing. Yeah,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: you know the holographic maintenance program Mark twelve and it's
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: and it's Reach Barkley.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Apparently she had to go to the hollow Spot to
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: get repaired.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, they put they put holographic cucumbers, right.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I did like jet Rey, you know, I like take
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Nataro everything she's in. I thought it was weird that
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: she had a stubbed toe, but I thought it was
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: also weird her girlfriend, uh uh commander Yeah. I like
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get that actress, like her voice over. I
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: don't think that she came in to do vo work
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: for this episode because you couldn't hear what she was
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: saying over the con clearly. I think they took dialogue
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: that she had in previous episodes and just kind of
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: like because you couldn't hear anything she said clearly.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: If it's if all of her dialogue is going to
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: be as if she's speaking over the com system, I
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: mean she could literally phone it in and record it.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: That way, and kind I kind of had a feeling
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: that's what happened. Yeah, She's like, I'm not putting on
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: that makeup for this episode. No, I'm going to the
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: recording booth. That's we're done.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: So what was this? Number seven? This is seven?
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: We got three more?
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: Three more?

• 52:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, is do it like we do this. The
• 52:48

• 52:50
  Speaker 4: like through Discord. We couldn't do it through YouTube or
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: Twitch or anything like that because we'll get flagged. But
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: if it's our own price of it Discord channel, which
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: we have one, we just never use it. Okay, we
• 53:05

  Speaker 1: Yeah? He said, go ahead and watch it.
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, that's good. He was.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: He was messing with.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Scott all that he's always doing that little rascals.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good old buddy of mine.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well that was the episode. Should we
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: try to say something nice about it, because it sounds
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: like we didn't.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, give me a minute.
• 53:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah, uh, I noticed, you know something I noticed about
• 53:55
  Speaker 14: this episode, And I'm just looking around and and his
• 53:59
  Speaker 14: I it ties into what I did yesterday.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I went and saw a musical yesterday at the high school.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I saw Grease and they put on a fantastic production.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: And one of the things that makes a fantastic production,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: one of many, many things, is the sets and the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: design of the sets and what they can do with nothing,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: with plywood and just a little bit of paint and
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: some ingenuity. And then I was looking at the sets
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: in Star Trek and I'm looking at like the benches,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the walls, and I'm like, you
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: can't buy any of this at the furniture store. All
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: of this has to be made. All of these chairs
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: have to be made, all of these wall decorations have
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: to be made. All of these little tunnel things, these staircases,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: these railings, these things in the background that are you
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: physically have to be able to interact with to have
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: to be built. The talent that goes into that, the
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: art that goes into that, I am absolutely blown away by.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I just I just think that there's so much imagination
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: that goes into.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: That though with AI and yeah, all those jobs are threatened.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Oh sure right now. Yeah, even the floors. You know,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: all that stuff has to be meticulously planned, manufactured, you know,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: they have to and they have to use real world items.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Some things have to be made from scratch. Some things
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you do have to go to home depot and modify,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the clear railings, the supports for the railings.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: You got to figure out new materials and different ways
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: of using these materials and just yeah. These set designers
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: are just I think of the unsung heroes of the show.
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that they have awesome sets for sure.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: It was the hairpoofs so beautiful.
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: What is the hair poofs? I like those?
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: I got nothing?
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, I'm usually, I'm usually. The other thing is
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: like there wasn't much going on. There was no stakes,
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: and I get it because last week's was so so
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: intense that they needed to to, you know, bring it
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: down a little bit. But honestly, like I saw a
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: lot of people saying this episode was just boring, you know,
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: even shot boring, Like characters weren't doing anything. They were
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: just sitting in the rooms talking. Yeah.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got nothing. I'm sorry.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, Well, hey I have something I
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: want to show you.
• 56:56

  Speaker 12: I'm in Shoreham, Sussex, South coast of England. I hope
• 59:00
  Speaker 12: this message finds you well. I'm not going to spend
• 59:02
  Speaker 12: too long reviewing this show because you can only say
• 59:05
  Speaker 12: it's rubbish in so many ways, but this one I
• 59:08
  Speaker 12: thought was particularly boring.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 59:11
  Speaker 12: I wanted to send this message because I sent a
• 59:14
  Speaker 12: supplemental a few weeks ago. It hasn't been played on
• 59:16
  Speaker 12: the show, and.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: This was mainly.
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: Aimed at Dan when he was saying how I fed
• 59:24
  Speaker 12: up he was having to come on and diss the
• 59:27
  Speaker 12: show and it was getting to him. But I sent
• 59:31
  Speaker 12: a supplemental saying, no, please, don't let it get to you.
• 59:34
  Speaker 12: This is what this is what your show is about,
• 59:37
  Speaker 12: and you only have to do it for ten weeks
• 59:40
  Speaker 12: and then you got the rest of the wonderful Star
• 59:42
  Speaker 12: Trek to talk about for the rest of the time.
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: I did want to say, strong Beard, I can't. I
• 59:51
  Speaker 12: called you the morale officer because you're always trying to
• 59:54
  Speaker 12: keep the vibe positive. But this has even got to you,
• 59:58
  Speaker 12: my friend, and I know last week Dan, you were
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 12: really upset about the show, but it was just one
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: of the funniest shows you've done, especially Strongbeard losing it
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 12: and pretending it's just a highlight. So please, Dan, I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 12: know you say it's getting you down. But just know
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 12: that your show, all of you boys, is better and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: well thought out, and Daniel, your ideas, all three of you,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 12: when you come together, you can write a better show
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: without even trying, you know. And I just wanted to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 12: say that we're always told that this show is written
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 12: for kids, but that doesn't mean it has to be
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: crap hearing that and look at things like Toy Story
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 12: and The Incredibles or any of the other early Pixar stuff. Anyway,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 12: that's my two minutes, Live long and prosper.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Love you guys, Oh we love you too.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: I just dripped the Gmail and apparently his his supplemental
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: went straight to the spam filter. So sorry, buddy, I
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: didn't know that. Oh no, uh but yeah, well you.

• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: There he is, Hey, our daddy wants to ride Harley here.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 7: That's right, Harley, whoa, whoa? I should be more specific,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: Harley Davidson.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 9: I figured it fit with the show this week.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: You know, love it. I love it like this.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 9: Whole love triangle, the Klingon and the fish boy and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: then the white boy.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: You know that's right.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: Who got stood up and and was fine with it.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: He was like, yeah, bye, Well.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: He did mention something. I told what's his face? About
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: what happened? So and so told me about what happened.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: So I thought. I thought that he had just gotten
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: back and they hadn't seen each other yet. That would
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: have been awkward, like where the hell have you been
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: for four days? That's not the case. They they had
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: seen each other, and he did explain him. Yeah, they had.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: As you know, if only if only they bore devices
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: that they could communicate with each other.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, yeah, if only.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: If only. Maybe someday technology will progress to the point
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: where he could just call him and say, hey, something
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: came up.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: We're be able to make devices.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: Just like that.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: I know, and probably then that it's implanted into them
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: where they could easily they probably wouldn't even have to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 9: click it.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: They just.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: A message to Kyle. I got to tell him I
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: got abducted at amount of wedding.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I went to another man's wedding to see Kyle. Yeah.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: So would you think of the episode? Uh, jazz Beard,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: I cannot talk today, man, go ahead, strong strong biz.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, chest Beard.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: I thought this episode was kind of well. I only
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 9: watched it once and it took me two days to
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: watch it.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, Yes, I watched the.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 9: First thirty minutes and I was like, I got another
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: about twenty five.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Watch so many times when.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: You plus star Trek, it's say, I think we're gonna
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: go shovel snow instead.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well I was gonna say, this is the type
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: of show that you leave on in the background while
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 9: you're mowing the lawn. So yeah, I mean it's it's
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: one of those that I don't know.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: The thing, isn't it. The thing is, it's not just
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: us man. The viewership numbers are not there.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: It's plummeted like the second or third week that hasn't
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: cracked the top ten and in paramounts whatever.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 9: I guarantee if you saw the Nelson's the true Nelson's
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: it would probably be like wait, wait on the list.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: So I can't remember the actress's name. I can't even
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: remember her character's name, but uh, neurodivergent holographic girl Sam damn. Okay,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: So the actor. I saw an article. The actor basically
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: said something that if people keep review bombing this show,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: the franchise is in danger of going away.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: One of the concept artists said the same thing.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: And you know it's not review bombing. Yeah, if you
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: if you if if if you see something and it's
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: and it's no good and you explain why it's no good,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: that's not review bombing. That's that's reviewing. Yeah, that's reviewing.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, well what even if it was review bombed but
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: it had strong numbers, they only care about the numbers.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And I'm getting to the point where the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: franchise will net. It's never going to die, yeah, Star
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: Trek is never going to go away completely. But it
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: needs a rest. Yeah, it needs a rest. And I
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: feel like if they if this show is over and
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: Strange New Worlds finishes up, they're like, you know what,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: We're going to take five or six years off. I
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: think I'd be okay with that? Yeah, because because because
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: because they would shut everything down, right, and then when
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: they started up, when they go to the network and
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: they're like, hey, we want to uh are they go
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: to corporate or however you want to say, hey we
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: want to bring back Star Trek. They're going to have
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: to show we have an idea, it's good and it's
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: going to make some money. And the decision makers are
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: going to look back on the history of Star Trek
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: and are going to say, where was it firing on
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: all cylinders? Where was it not? Oh, this stuff right
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: here was really popular and made a lot of money.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: Replicate that this stuff was not very popular. Don't replicate that,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: right And I think that would be the best thing
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: for it at this point, just to just keep doing
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: what they've been doing for the last ten years. Yeah, nope,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: not interested in.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 9: The old network would have pulled this show by now, yeah,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 9: oh yeah, yeah, you would have an extra episode of
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 9: Seinfeld or something right now, like to replace it, like
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 9: watch Seinfeld on Thursday nights now if you missed it
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 9: on Tuesday or something.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, the the heyday of Star Trek on TV,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: which was TNG Deep Space nine Voyager and Enterprise. The
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: show was syndicated. Yeah, so you had to sell it
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: to affiliates. It's not a network that would have pulled it.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: You had to sell it to affiliates, and affiliates would
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: have said, this isn't pulling in the numbers, we are
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: going to show reruns of Seinfeld instead. We got you know,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know how the numbers work, but you know
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: this show is pulling seven Seinfeld is pulling ninees sorry
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: on a Seinfeld.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they would have. Yeah, they get a little runway
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: with the programming like that, Cindy get a programming. But
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: after that, yeah, they could pull it and or they
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: would reschedule it. Maybe not necessarily pull it. They would
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: put it, you know, like two am on a Saturday morning. Yeah, right,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: they would just slowly die.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: I mean when when Star Trek was firing on all
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: cylinders in the early to mid nineteen nineties, the New
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: York City affiliate WPIX Channel eleven, which which showed TNG
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: and Deep Space, they were showing it twice a week. Yeah,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: they would show it on whatever night. I don't I
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: don't remember what night it came out. That's how long
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: it's been. But then they would reshow it at Sunday nights.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: Eleven thirty was TG and twelve thirty was Deep Space nine.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: And even when TG ended, they would still show reruns.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Sunday nights.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: So they were showing them twice a week.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: It's just yeah, it's it is rough right now. So yeah,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: the review bombings are not what's the problem. It's the numbers.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah. So it's just I saw the rotten Tomato scores.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 9: Is you know, critic reviews eighty eight, you know people's
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 9: reviews or for.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's big disparity.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel bad because, you know, you hear
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: people like Tawny Newsom saying, hey, you know, support the show,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: sports the show. I like people like Tawny Newsome. I
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: think was talented, and I wish I could get behind her.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I wish I could support her, you know, the stuff
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: that she's doing, you know, and and and and people
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: like Jonathan Frakes are involved in the show, and you know,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: but it's tough to support people.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: Like it wasn't it was how our character was written.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: I mean she was a sweetheart, like.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 9: Sweetheart, Yeah, it's it's the way they wrote her first
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 9: two seasons. The third season she wasn't bad.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: No, I actually enjoyed the third season. I actually enjoyed
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: her dynamic with with War.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but even that written better, it was great.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 9: That course corrected. And that's the problem is if you
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 9: film the next season with the first season and everybody
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 9: hates the first season, well they're going to hate the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 9: second season.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: So the thing is, ten years from now, they're gonna
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: review what they did during this era, and then they're
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: gonna see like The Cards season three, and they're gonna
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, that's what people wanted. Because The Card
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: season three was like the Internet was a buzz, loved it.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: The ratings were high, like people were excited. Yeah, and
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: then they'll get LeVar Burton who might still be probably
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: still be alive, and whoever else.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 9: They're all in their eighties right now.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, we'll bring them back.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well another ten years, we should have Patrick
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: Stewart's heavy metal album.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, what's what's Terry Mettalli's doing right now?
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 9: Vision Quest?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:11:41

• 1:11:47
  Speaker 9: you know, we.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: Gotta go fund me going.
• 1:11:51

  Speaker 1: I just want to see Terry Metallis knock him off
• 1:12:36

• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you just have to give people the things that

  Speaker 3: they want. So there's a there's a UFC fight coming
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: up mm hmm. And it's Ronda Ralsey versus Gina. Yeah,

• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: be watching that fight.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, So I gotta say, technically, it's not a UFC fight.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: It's the two ladies decided they wanted to fight and.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: About it. I thought it was.

  Speaker 3: So this is?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: This is on Netflix? Okay, So they can't fight in
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: an octagon because UFC owns the rights to only fighting
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: in octagons, so they have fighting Yeah, it's so weird. Yeah,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: apparently they they went to UFC and said, hey, we

  Speaker 4: want to do this fight. Well, you know, do you
• 1:14:06

• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: So I mean, like anything, anything is possible. That's happening
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 9: that that's actually happening.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like take Star Trek because we're talking about
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: this and we're all excited.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I want is the Star Trek fighting game.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: Just all the characters, let them fight. I want to
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: do fireballs with.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: Seven versus why you can shoot?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: Is it like a like a street type Yeah, it's
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: street better type game with all the characters, so.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: All their special moves are like yeah, cards, throwing fireballs
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: and yeah, make it so and so.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Oh real. Quickly, I wanted to mention I got to
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: play Star Trek Voyagers Unknown, which is basically it's uh,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: it's basically a resource Uh. You basically have to manage
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: resources with a bit of choose your own adventure game.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: I spent most of my time downloading the game and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: downloading the stuff around the game. Yeah. I've got a
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: all in one computer. Okay, I've got an ass all
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: in one. It's a brand new one, but it's still
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: not exactly a gaming setup. It's it's like, you know,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: it's a monitor and computer all in one. So it's
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: it's pretty low hardware. It was able to run the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: game just fine if you have it on the game
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: on its lowest graphic settings. It for for somebody like me,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, I've got ADHD and it's it's hard for
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: me to to pay attention to. Like, I'm like, as
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: far as the resources go, I'm I'm all over the place, like, oh,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: I need to fix the holiday decks, and I need
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: to fix the medical bay, and I need to fix
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: the computer room and I need to you know, I'm
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm all scattered rain. Yeah, I need to get
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: the cheese out of the jailpacks. So I've barely scratched
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: the service of this game, but it looks really interesting.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: It's available for PS five, Xbox whatever the latest Xbox
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: is switch to, and for the PC, so check that out. Also,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: right now, the Star Trek Crew is going on.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: Oh that's right.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very that thing. It is very expensive, but uh,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: you gotta pay them celebs, because you know, I think
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: it would be fun for us. I don't know how
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: much fun it would be for some of these celebrities.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: I almost feel sorry.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 9: No, I think they enjoy it because you know, now
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 9: they have to hide.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you yeah, because it's it's just a week
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: of people like us constantly taking out.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: A lot of well actually a lot.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: When acutely, how much does it cost I'm just curious.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: Uh, I'm not sure. If you look at the average
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: price for a cruise ticket, it's almost twice as much
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: as your average cruise ticket.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, uh they are. They're actually on the same
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: ship that my wife and I went on two years ago.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: They're on the Adventure of the Seas, which is a
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Royal Caribbean, which is actually their smaller one of the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: smaller one of their older ships.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: The amount of Adora hats that will be on the cruise.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm sure it's a good time.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 9: All right, I've seen like pictures and it looks like
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 9: every night it's like something different they do.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but for a couple going, I think you
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: can expect to pay somewhere around five grand, five to six.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 9: Grand, like not like five total.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: It's like it is so exciting to be a fan
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: of anything right now.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: Yes, I mean we just came back from Europe, so yeah,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 9: very like our flight.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Once this once this podcast, you know, once we're in
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: the tens of millions, you know, then then we can
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: talk about maybe going on a trek cast cruise.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. So all right, three of you,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: just the three of us, we can finally shoot the
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 4: men of trek Cast calendar.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: For you guys come over to Michigan. I have a
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: fourteen foot aluminum Aluma Craft fishing boat.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: That would be the cruise.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the truck cast crews.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: We could go out.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: You know, Ticonda. Ticonda Roga is on the north end
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: of Lake George. We could we could do a trek
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: Cast meet up in Takonda Roga and then the trek
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: the trek Cast cruise is on Lake George.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: But right, okay, okay, I still want to do a
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: I still want to visit New York sometimes.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: So yeah, oh yeah, it's yeah, never been.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 9: Don't take the subways right now, you might so.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Well it sounds like we're winding down,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: so we should probably wrap it up.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: All right, very good.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we'll catch you well next week. Yeah, yes,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: we'll see.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: We'll no for next week. Yeah, so.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: Let the listeners know we may or may not have
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: a show next week.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: I am having a medical procedure. I'm having a surgery
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: and if all goes well, I should be fine, and uh,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: we'll be having a show. No problem. If things do
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: not go well, I will have to be in the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: hospital for a couple of days being switched onto a
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: new med which means I really couldn't do a show
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: from the hospital. Uh So I won't know until Saturday
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: my procedures on Friday. I'll find out Saturday how I'm feeling,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: and then we can go from there.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: Can I tell listeners what my what? My Latin technical
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: term for your procedure was, Yes, Okay, he's getting his
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: heart bitch slapped.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. Yeah, I'm getting what's called an ablationion.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 9: So no episode next week.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: It depends.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 4: It depends. Uh everyone that I that I've met a
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: couple of people who have had this surgery, and they
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: all say that it's amazing and you feel so much
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: better right afterwards, like it's like instant. It's like one
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: guy said, it's like a light switch, like it's like
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: he woke up feeling amazing. So hopefully that's what happens.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: They're giving me like a seventy percent chance, so that's
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: what will happened to me. So that's that's good. Odds,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: that's good. Yeah, yeah, And it's not from everything I've
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: read it's not a dangerous procedure, like it's on par
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 4: with getting your tonsils removed. So that's surprising.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: So cool, you can talk.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but but if the oblation doesn't work, they
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: got to put me on a stronger heart med and
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: so that means being in the hospital for two days
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: because it's that strong of a med, like you need
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: to be observed. So hopefully that's not what happens. If
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: it goes well, I go home that day. It's crazy,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 4: So I just go home and sleep off the anesthesia.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: So well, I think I speak for the entire trek
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Cast community, whether you are you're into thoughts and prayers
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: or good vibes or whatever you're into, we all wish
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: you well.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 4: So yeah, well, thank you all that. So yeah, so yeah,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: I keep an eye on the social media. We'll let
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: you know Saturday if we're having your show Sunday.
• 1:22:33

• 1:22:35
