• 6:10
  You just got done telling me you've been relaxing the entire time. Anything
• 6:14
  to do. He's been telling me he's been super busy. So it's I
• 6:19
  think we're going to give you a pass. Yeah. I just got back
• 6:23
  from spending New Year's in Vegas. Yeah, how was that? It was
• 6:27
  a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. I did try
• 6:29
  to hook up with Dave and Darren, but it just it never worked out.
• 6:33
  Yeah, like that happens. Literally, we were polar opposites when we
• 6:36
  could meet. So yeah, for those of you who don't know, can
• 6:41
  you tell us, tell them, tell everybody who Dave and Darren are.
• 6:44
  Yeah, David Dearer the original host of Trick Cast. We took over from
• 6:47
  them a few years ago. So yeah, it would have been really cool
• 6:49
  to hang out with him. It would have been like sur trict generations for
• 6:53
  us. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Do you think maybe they'd been
• 6:59
  interested in but on the show for you know, just say there's definitely an
• 7:02
  open invite. I'll say that there's definitely an opt Okay. David was on
• 7:09
  our our pandemic episode when I was when I was locked locked in the hotel
• 7:14
  down a Newer Shell. He was on that episode. I think I remember
• 7:18
  that. Darren, we've we've reached out a couple of times, and you
• 7:23
  know, he's always interested, but it just never seems to to line up
• 7:29
  again. Every people are busy, lives are crazy, and you know,
• 7:31
  I don't know what we do where you live. Like we said, they
• 7:35
  both have an open invitation to get on the show whenever they want. Awesome,
• 7:41
  but someday. But Man Vegas on New Year's is total amateur hour with
• 7:45
  all those it was crazy just how many drunk people just everywhere. I will
• 7:51
  say one of the funniest things we saw is right as you enter the strip,
• 7:56
  there's a an urgent care clinic. So it's so it's like a lie
• 8:01
  going to the women's bathroom. Yeah, so it's like a Tuesday he in
• 8:09
  vase, right, right, No, but there's right as you get into
• 8:13
  the strip, there's an urgent care clinic. Right, there's a big sign
• 8:16
  on the urgent clary clinic that says we're here from you when you try something
• 8:20
  new. And I was just dying with Wow, they're just like yeah an
• 8:31
  snow words, Yeah, yeah, oh my god, they understood their assignment.
• 8:35
  Yeah, indeed, this is there's a smaller sign underneath it that says,
• 8:39
  uh, nothing ends up in your ass accidentally visiting your rates. Now
• 8:50
  wait a minute, I mean, I'm I'm not it could happen. I
• 8:54
  mean, could you know, It's just I mean it's possible, yes,
• 9:01
  but yeah, I'm nailed with the grass Tyson right now, Yeah, he's
• 9:11
  got another great podcast too. Yeah, well, what do we get to
• 9:15
  the news. There's quite a few news stories, okay, Star Trek news.
• 9:20
  Okay, all right, so our first news story customers to comes to
• 9:26
  us from trekmovie dot com and Grandpa says there's a new Star Trek movie script.
• 9:30
  Patrick Stewart is saying that is in the work. He was recently speaking
• 9:37
  to the Happy, Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz and he said that yeah,
• 9:41
  there's a uh, there's something on the table. He said that he
• 9:45
  spoke to someone the night before when this was recorded, and that there is
• 9:48
  a project with the card in mind. They are currently working on the script
• 9:54
  and he expects to have that script in a week or two and go from
• 9:56
  there. So this is not going to be started four Yeah, separate part.
• 10:05
  Sure. So yeah, hey, are you are you scrolling the website?
• 10:13
  I think every time you scroll you sort of get muffled out. Oh
• 10:18
  I wasn't scrolling the website. No, oh okay, sound fine now,
• 10:22
  but yeah, Dan, Dan, didn't you? Was it you that made
• 10:24
  the comment on the Facebook group about this where you're like, yeah, there's
• 10:28
  also been a script for uh something else in the works. Yeah. Oh,
• 10:35
  Daniel said that okay, yeah, said there's also a script for ET
• 10:37
  two, right, yeah, that's right. Yeah, and you were one,
• 10:43
  right, yeah, yeah. It really doesn't mean anything. It just
• 10:48
  means, you know, they're working on a script and we'll see what happens
• 10:52
  that they do that a lot. If if the script turns out good or
• 10:54
  if they like it. It doesn't necessarily mean it's good. But if they
• 10:58
  like it, then then they might proceed. But it's not a guarantee.
• 11:03
  I have a feeling that Patrick Stewart needs like, you know, okay grandpa,
• 11:07
  like one of those guys around him, especially around social media at all
• 11:11
  times, you know. You know, I read something. I don't know
• 11:18
  if it was an our group or or another group, but somebody somebody was
• 11:22
  commenting about how they they read his recent autobiography and making it so yeah,
• 11:30
  and they were struck by how different, excuse me, how different the personalities
• 11:37
  of Patrick Stewart and John Luke Icard are and mm hmmm, almost like a
• 11:46
  disappointment, right right, Patrick Stewart is not Jean Luke Icard, and how
• 11:52
  Patrick Stewart, you know, it was a bit of a womanizer and doesn't
• 11:58
  have the best character traits that you would associate you would want to associate with
• 12:05
  him after twenty twenty five years of watching him as right, he seems it's
• 12:13
  acting, but you know, reading that and then hearing this, it's kind
• 12:22
  of like, you know, well, maybe he needs the constant attention.
• 12:26
  Maybe that's maybe he's on his fourth mid life crisis and you know he needs
• 12:31
  at this point in his life, he needs to feel relevant. So you
• 12:35
  know he shat urner it up. Yeah, could be yeah, yeah,
• 12:39
  I know. Yeah, he's a pretty flamm guy. Yeah, exactly.
• 12:48
  That is a deep cut hold on that deserves warning warning. NERD alert,
• 12:54
  nerd alert. Yeah, my wife, My wife in the next room,
• 13:09
  Like what the hell is he talking about? Screaming about? Oh my wife
• 13:16
  is in the next room wondering that all the time. Yeah, all right.
• 13:22
  Our next new story comes to us from the New York Post and apparently
• 13:26
  a rocket is going into space soon with the remains of over three hundred and
• 13:31
  thirty people, including Star Trek creator Jeane Roddenberry. It is set to launch
• 13:37
  on Monday at two in the morning from Cape Cranable, Florida. It's got
• 13:41
  all these little like little pieces of people like just remains and it's gonna go.
• 13:48
  Yes, that's sorry, chopped up our vacuum decimated, that's right,
• 13:54
  desiccated remains. Indeed, indeed, yes, and you can get them for
• 14:03
  oh awesome, awesome. Yeah. But yeah, so that'd be really cool
• 14:09
  that that's that's heading out there. I'm sure Geane would love to be in
• 14:13
  space. I saw, like I thought that happened like twenty years ago.
• 14:16
  If I have that feeling too, Like, no, Scotty went to space.
• 14:22
  So this is uh, this has been delayed for eight months that they've
• 14:26
  been trying to do. Okay, So I feel like I heard about this
• 14:28
  decades ago. Yeah, I agree with you again, Yeah, I feel
• 14:35
  like James doing. There's there was a story about James doing Oh yeah,
• 14:39
  yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, okay, And then our next news
• 14:45
  story comes to us from screen Rants and one of the producers of Star Trek
• 14:50
  The Next Generation. The show was recently interviewed and he talked a lot about
• 14:56
  how he feels that it is criminal that the cast did not get nominated for
• 15:01
  awards or many awards during its run. He says they were one of the
• 15:05
  most extremely talented casts on TV at the time and for them to not get
• 15:09
  nominated was just a tragedy. He also said that Star Trek has been a
• 15:13
  great place for up and coming stars. He did mention how that, you
• 15:20
  know, Star Trek gave way to people like Tom Hardy, The Rock and
• 15:24
  Ashley Judd. He specifically mentioned that Star Trek was the first starring role for
• 15:28
  Tom Hardy. And now look at how big Tom Hardy is. So literally,
• 15:33
  yeah, how big Tom Hardy is. That always boggles my mind when
• 15:35
  I see him as Bane and then I look him at it as shins On.
• 15:39
  They're two completely different people, right, Yeah, I feel like there's
• 15:46
  a there, and maybe it doesn't exist so much anymore, but definitely back
• 15:50
  in the eighties and the nineties this did exist, but there was like a
• 15:54
  hierarchy of acting work, you know, and they weren't all on the same
• 16:00
  the same level. You know, you had stage actors, yeah, film
• 16:06
  film actors. It was like, you know, film actors, stage actors,
• 16:11
  television actors. And we have to remember that Star Trek the next generation
• 16:18
  was not only television, it was syndic, cad syndicated television, which I
• 16:26
  think was even yeah, I think it was television on that and you know,
• 16:34
  yeah, yes, yes, you know. And now now it's like
• 16:38
  we're all over the place series and all this is streaming and you know everything
• 16:44
  thing is all you know, thrown together. Now, you know you have
• 16:51
  people who who their full body of work as fan films and yeah, but
• 16:56
  at the time, I'm not saying I agree with it. So check the
• 17:00
  diction Racius some of the they made some of the greatest television in history.
• 17:03
  But I know that it wasn't viewed the same as you know, I don't
• 17:11
  know. I'm trying to think of no, you're you're absolutely there's a higher
• 17:15
  it wasn't on the same yeah, or something like that or mm hmm e
• 17:26
  er. You know, you think about it. You know there's that yep
• 17:30
  Alseph the Daytime Emmys. You know, it's it's like the industry was saying,
• 17:34
  you know, yeah, all right, Susan Luci, you played this
• 17:38
  character for forty years, but you know you're never going to get an Emmy.
• 17:41
  You might get a Daytime Emmy right presented to you by Montel Williams and
• 17:48
  Judge Wattner, but you know, you know it's not giving you that award,
• 17:56
  and neither is Dennis Frauds. So yeah, yeah, some of those
• 18:00
  names. Tell me you're in your mid forties without telling me you're in your
• 18:04
  mid forties. Shut up, you, Hey, Dennis Bronx lives up here,
• 18:14
  Montel Williams, Monte. All right, our next new story comes to
• 18:19
  us from screen rant again and oh is Dan cutting out? I think Dan's
• 18:26
  cutting out? Okay, always see it's that stupid for iggy yes with no
• 18:32
  sound? Oh no, all right, the story comes from from screen rants.
• 18:37
  Okay, Oh there he is, And a lot of fans aren't happy.
• 18:41
  The Home of Star Trek is no longer the Home of Star Trek,
• 18:45
  as Paramount Plus removes ten of the thirteen Star Trek movies. All of the
• 18:49
  original series movies are gone. They have been moved over to HBO Max and
• 18:56
  now it's just all that remains is the JJ Treck movies on Paramount Plus.
• 19:03
  So Paramount if there hadn't been an argument for yeah, physical media before,
• 19:11
  yeah, this, you know, I'm glad, I've got you know,
• 19:14
  I'm I'm slowly by. Anytime I see a deal or I look you know
• 19:18
  eBay or Amazon or whatever, and anytime I see something on Blu Ray that
• 19:21
  I don't have yet match it up. Yeah, but the time this week,
• 19:26
  this week Best Buy stopped selling Blu rays and DVDs all physical yep,
• 19:30
  they stopped. Really yeah, yeah, it's wild Man. Yeah, all
• 19:37
  right, and you know it's wild It's it's like, okay, so all
• 19:41
  of the all of the all the Star Trek movies have been moved over to
• 19:47
  what you said, HBO? Mm hm yeah yeah right, yeah said yeah
• 19:55
  okay. And in the same week or this same month, all of the
• 20:02
  oh yeah, all of the DC movies left HBO and went to Netflix,
• 20:11
  right, what we do really okay, Yeah, it's it's I think I'm
• 20:15
  on a delay or something because I think your yours is cutting out of reaction.
• 20:22
  Yeah, I'm gonna reset, okay, okay, I'll do our last
• 20:25
  news story. Our last news story comes to us from Deadline, and I
• 20:27
  thought I would bring this up just because I figured this was the right audience
• 20:30
  for it. A Battlestory Galactica reboot is on its way. It also produced,
• 20:36
  yeah, produced by Sam Smell. That is the producer of Mister Robot.
• 20:41
  If you're familiar with that show. He's currently working on the reboot.
• 20:45
  I really liked Mister Robot, so I'm excited to noting not familiar with it.
• 20:49
  It's a great show. It's a great show if you like computer hacking
• 20:52
  and and like espionage type stuff, thriller. Write it down. Yeah,
• 20:59
  it's it's really good. But yeah, so so they're working on it.
• 21:03
  Very little is known at this time. I mean, it's very early stages
• 21:08
  of this, so it'll be a while till we see anything or here much.
• 21:12
  But I thought it was cool. I'm assuming you've seen the reboot,
• 21:18
  the one from like or whatever. Yeah, yes, I did. I
• 21:23
  did see it. I loved it. I even named my dog Baltar.
• 21:29
  Okay, so yeah, I yeah, I I liked it. I got
• 21:33
  into it. I didn't see you know, life happened, and I just
• 21:38
  I stopped watching it right before the final season. So Bringy's back, I
• 21:48
  think so. But Dan, we can't hear you if you're O hi,
• 21:59
  Hi, can you hear us? I'm on some sort of delay. I
• 22:02
  can hear you, but I'm round to see when you're not hearing me right
• 22:04
  away and we end up talking over each other. This is weird. That
• 22:08
  is weird. It is weird. Yeah, Well, should we get to
• 22:15
  the main topic? Yeah, oh yes, fine, will now come out
• 22:26
  all right. So we have a couple of main topics, Dan, which
• 22:30
  one do you want to do first? Should we do the awards or the
• 22:33
  other one? Yeah, let's blow through the awards and then we'll talk about
• 22:41
  the other one. Okay. So look, I'm made graphics. Are you
• 22:45
  guys hearing me? Okay? Yeah, I can hear you. Yeah,
• 22:49
  we can hear you. Just fine. So I made graphics for the awards.
• 22:55
  Oh nice? Yeah, so we got We had a few, We
• 22:59
  had a few vote in for this. So this these results are by the
• 23:03
  listeners, not just us deciding. And our first award was for best Character.
• 23:08
  We had several nominees, but the winner was Beckett Mariner. Beckett Mariner,
• 23:17
  Yeah, that was the best character according to the listeners. You know,
• 23:22
  I really, I really loved her in this uh in the last last
• 23:26
  season. You know, obviously she got promoted and she went through a little
• 23:30
  bit of a you know, life crisis with that, and I I think
• 23:36
  I like the way that that that she's you know, transitioned from being just
• 23:42
  you know, this happy, go lucky ensign that doesn't really care about anything
• 23:47
  to actually given a crap about you know, the crew and the ship and
• 23:51
  start. It's been a good art for her overall. So yeah, and
• 23:56
  Tawnie Newsome does a fantastic job with her. Yeah, he does, really
• 24:00
  does, all right. Our next one was best Rookie and in a landslide
• 24:07
  like it wasn't even close. We had mop Loopsie was number one. Baby
• 24:14
  oops. If anybody has a bead on where I can get a Moopsie stuffed
• 24:19
  toy, let me know. Uh, my wife's birthdays coming up right,
• 24:32
  Okay, he'll a real one, a real one. Yeah, I'll have
• 24:37
  to see what my latinum's doing. Yeah for sure. Then we had Best
• 24:42
  Star Trek Actor Performance in a non star Trek role for twenty twenty three.
• 24:48
  This one was also a landslide surprisingly, and we had Jack Quaid in My
• 24:52
  Adventures with Superman as Superman Slash Clark Kent Cool. Have you guys seen the
• 24:59
  show? I saw the first episode. I liked it. It was it
• 25:02
  was good. Yeah, it was mostly geared towards kids. Yeah, things
• 25:07
  where I mean, I've been meaning to go back to it and just yeah,
• 25:11
  I'm a huge Superman fan. I think Jack Quaid did a fantastic job,
• 25:15
  especially as Clark. Yeah, you know, uh, it's I think
• 25:22
  it's obviously, I think it's harder to nail Clark than it is to nail
• 25:25
  kal El or Superman. But because I think Clark is a lot more nuanced
• 25:30
  as a character, I think so too. And then do you believe that
• 25:34
  was a smart thing to say? Right? Man? Nuanced? Indeed?
• 25:38
  Indeed? All right? Then we have the best romantic couple and the winner
• 25:47
  was Tendy and Rutherford. Oh nice, nice, technically a romantic couple,
• 25:52
  but definitely the answer there they were married for an episode, that's true.
• 25:57
  Yeah, there's a will they won't she ask that going on there? So
• 26:03
  it's moonlighting in space yep, yeah, under property, that's right. I
• 26:11
  love our fourth co host, Frankie just jumping in. That's great. Then
• 26:18
  we had best Easter Egg and this one far and away the biggest winner,
• 26:22
  the most percentage points. Boimler's Yeah, I've seen that scened dozens of times
• 26:30
  and I laughed every single time. Riker, Yeah, that's just so great.
• 26:36
  Yeah, yeah, people love it. I love the story behind it,
• 26:40
  the behind the scenes story behind it. I love his like just the
• 26:44
  way he executed that single word. It was great. Then we had best
• 26:52
  Character death or send off, which is always the weirdest word I think,
• 26:56
  but fun and uh, the winner was Captain Shaw. Yeah, yeah,
• 27:03
  yeah, he had a fan redemption. That was pretty good, you know,
• 27:10
  because I think one of my one of my first pack ld reviews for
• 27:14
  that season was Captain Shaw is a dick and he was who was and we
• 27:22
  all hated him, and then we all loved him and we all you know,
• 27:26
  ball their eyes out when he died. Yeah, you know, when
• 27:29
  he finally acknowledged Anaica Hanson is seven of nine and yeah, it was good.
• 27:37
  Uh. Then we had best Villain and the winner of that award was
• 27:44
  the Gorn. The Gorn. Yeah, they've got some reconciling to do with
• 27:52
  the Gorn, has it related? That's yeah, that's that's probably the direction
• 27:59
  they're going to go, because I've recently watched that episode on the original series
• 28:03
  because I'm we're about a third of the way through season two right now.
• 28:07
  The original series lean into the fact that you know, on the original series
• 28:15
  that was an adult Gorn. Yeah, and the one the one fighting aliens
• 28:21
  style? Are the baby Gorn an adult Gorn? You mean a geriatric Gorn
• 28:29
  with a lot of arthritis, all right, and a bad skin condition.
• 28:33
  I mean a really, I mean his skin almost looks like rubber. And
• 28:38
  his eyes are just meshed, I mean glazed over it. We get it,
• 28:45
  we get it. We got it. And we had best episode.
• 28:48
  And this is a first in our long prestigious word history, I have to
• 28:52
  say this. We had a tie. Wow. Yeah. We had the
• 28:57
  crossover episode, oh wow wow. Yeah, and the last Generation of the
• 29:03
  Picard finale, so yeah, ty, I'm okay with that. I was.
• 29:07
  I'm okay with that too, I really am. Yeah. Both of
• 29:15
  them were so good. Yeah, and different reasons for being good, but
• 29:19
  good. Yeah. The Lower Decks crossover was just so neat. It was
• 29:23
  so cool. Yeah, so, you know, so much fun. And
• 29:27
  and the last generation the Piccard series finale was just so nostalgic and you know,
• 29:37
  for people, especially for people like me who started out next gen.
• 29:40
  So yeah, yeah, we had best Appearance and the winner was Jack Quad
• 29:48
  and Boiler as Boiler in Strange New Worlds against the Barons. So yeah,
• 29:53
  yep. We had best Song from Subspace Rhapsody, the musical episode. We
• 30:00
  literally put the whole list of songs on there. So the number one winner
• 30:03
  was We Are One very good. Yeah, yeah, that is that the
• 30:08
  finale one with the with the the Klingons, and I think that's the one.
• 30:15
  Yeah, yeah, okay, I thought Status Report was gonna win.
• 30:18
  That's the one they made like a video for and everything. Yeah, I
• 30:22
  like for this is a video for I think every one of them. Oh
• 30:25
  okay, yeah, all right. Then our last category best back lid review,
• 30:34
  and it was There's a lot of nominees, but the winner was Captain
• 30:41
  Shaw's So thank you, thank you. You know. I would like to
• 30:48
  thank all the track cast fans. I would like to thank Daniel for his
• 30:55
  amazing editing skills and producing skills. I'd like to thank think the encouragement I
• 31:00
  got from Dan and and uh. And I'd like to thank my mom.
• 31:04
  I'm mom. So although I do have to apologize for something, what's that?
• 31:11
  Uh? And I talked to you about that. I talked to both
• 31:12
  of you about this. Uh. If you were paying attention, UH,
• 31:17
  you'll realize that we missed a couple of categories. And that was because when
• 31:26
  I that was a clerical secretarial error on my part. So I actually missed
• 31:34
  when I sent you the text of all the categories and all the nominations.
• 31:38
  Yeah, I missed two of them, and so I just wanted to mention
• 31:41
  I missed best in Costumes uh and and and that was the crossover from lower
• 31:48
  decks among the Lotus eaters. Uh, the doctor m uh what's his name?
• 31:56
  Doctor m my mom from Exchanging Worlds. Yeah, his fishing outfit,
• 32:00
  uh, the civilian clothes that Lawn wore, the Starfleet uniforms from Card season
• 32:07
  three, and the cool leather jackets and picard. I also missed the biggest
• 32:12
  cringe moment such as the Pike Boimler I love the Pike Boimler interactions, the
• 32:23
  musical episode Lawn and Kirk interaction. Another big cringe moment was the strong beard
• 32:32
  uh and uh missing getting his wife coffee moments on the show and the courtroom
• 32:38
  scenes. So yeah, for all those of you out there that we're hoping
• 32:44
  to vote on those nominations, I apologize it, you know, so if
• 32:52
  you alix, if you want me to resign, I will, yes,
• 32:57
  please do That's right. Okay. That was a great though. That was
• 33:04
  a I really enjoyed the all the nominations and the and the awards. Want
• 33:08
  to do the award that was That was a lot of fun. We had
• 33:10
  a great year in Trek, and then you know we're gonna start off good
• 33:15
  in April when Discovery returns. Yep, looking forward to it, absolutely,
• 33:22
  absolutely, this is the year. Yeah, this might be the year that
• 33:25
  it's good. This is the year. And then we also got a Prodigy
• 33:30
  season two at some point. Mm hmmm, So that'll be great to not
• 33:34
  watch that. I'm gonna go back to it. Yeah, I think I
• 33:40
  will too. I think I will too. I just I just haven't.
• 33:43
  Yeah, you can watch non net paramount uh Nicola. Yeah, you gotta
• 33:47
  chase it wherever it's at, right, you can google it and then watch
• 33:52
  it. I think you'll just have to watch it through like a Sears Roebuck
• 33:54
  store window. Maybe T Bearry is our Prodigy evangelist. He keeps saying how
• 34:01
  great it is. Prodigy was good. It's obviously geared towards tweens. And
• 34:07
  my twelve year old liked it and he's looking forward to season two. Maybe
• 34:10
  when season two starts up, we'll bring him on to help us review the
• 34:14
  first episode. Yeah, yeah, if he's up for it, I'm sure
• 34:19
  he would be. Yeah, yeah, peer pressured, T Bear Yeah,
• 34:23
  absolutely, come on, T Bear Yeah, you scared. All right,
• 34:32
  So Dan, do we want to make our big announcement the other part of
• 34:35
  the main topic. Yeah, I thought it over and oh you're good.
• 34:42
  Did you change your minds? I mean, let me see what he says
• 34:46
  in the chat, No kidding, So yeah, we can, I guess,
• 34:52
  I guess we can talk about this. Yeah. You know, I
• 34:55
  reached out to Chad last week, and you know, I've talked to him
• 35:04
  a couple of times over the last few weeks. And I reached out to
• 35:07
  him and I said, you know, I just want to get an idea
• 35:09
  of what your what your feelings are about returning to Trek Cast. And you
• 35:16
  know, he told me he's he's still got a bunch of stuff going on
• 35:20
  in his personal life and he can't see himself making a full time return to
• 35:23
  the show. He would love to come on as a as a guest from
• 35:29
  time to time, but him returning full time is not something that's going to
• 35:35
  happen. Yeah. So, and you know, I respect his decision.
• 35:40
  Obviously, he's a good friend of mine. He'll always be a good friend
• 35:44
  of mine. Yeah, we stay in touch. But as they say in
• 35:50
  show business, the show must go on. So we're currently accepting applications if
• 35:57
  anyone feels so that I might have a lack of options, the obvious choice
• 36:05
  of what to do. We we've been real lucky of the last few months
• 36:08
  that uh you know. We literally called Scott up and said, hey,
• 36:14
  can you start tomorrow and and help us out? And he said yes,
• 36:20
  And you know, he's been he's been doing just that. He's been pulling
• 36:23
  his weight. He's been pulling more than his weight for several months now.
• 36:28
  And you know, Daniel and I talked it over for about a nano second
• 36:32
  and said, hey, let's let's see if Scott wants to uh step into
• 36:36
  this role full time. And we reached out to him and and he accepted,
• 36:42
  so, which is which is funny because before this, Scott was the
• 36:47
  uh the occasional guest host that we would have when one of us couldn't make
• 36:53
  it. So it's almost like he and Chad are flopping flip flopping positions,
• 37:00
  right, He's kind of like wharf to our Ds nine. He is coming
• 37:04
  in midway. He's coming in midway. The slight ratings bomb. Yeah,
• 37:08
  I'll take it, So I guess I guess, uh you know, Scott,
• 37:17
  thank you and welcome aboard. Absolutely, thank you and get your exclusive
• 37:24
  Scott lithography. Yeah, should we we all like nineties? Should we get
• 37:37
  Scott on a plate? You know, that'd be perfect, that'd be perfect.
• 37:42
  Yeah. Absolutely, you would sell, You would sell at least three
• 37:45
  of them, yeah, maybe four. But no, thanks guys. I
• 37:50
  really appreciate it. You know, I want to think I want to thank
• 37:53
  Chad too. You know, we we mentioned earlier that about you know,
• 37:59
  the show you to be hosted by two other guys and then the three of
• 38:01
  you. Uh as I, as I recall the story, sort of wanted
• 38:07
  to revamp trek Cast after they kind of stopped doing it. And you guys
• 38:12
  have always done a fantastic job, you know. And and Chad, you
• 38:16
  know, well, okay, there might have been a couple of thinks you've
• 38:22
  done a job. And uh, you know, I I love Chad.
• 38:25
  I think he's a great, great guy. He did a fantastic job hosting
• 38:30
  treck Cast, you know, and I I'll always be appreciative of him.
• 38:35
  And uh, you know, like you said, he's you know, we
• 38:37
  hope to have him on the show as a as a as a guest.
• 38:42
  So uh, I wish him the best and I thank you guys for the
• 38:45
  this opportunity. This has been a lot of fun. It really has.
• 38:47
  Uh. I get to spend my Sunday mornings uh with some great people,
• 38:52
  uh talking about you know, my my favorite thing. So you know,
• 38:57
  what more could you ask for? You know? This reminds me of right
• 39:02
  after, right after the switchover, where we did our first episode is the
• 39:08
  new the new hosts. Uh, some of the longtime listeners flipped out and
• 39:15
  yeah, I remember we had one review that consisted of new people. Right.
• 39:22
  The internet famously loves change. I I gotta yeah, I recently read
• 39:29
  some of the older reviews. But I remember I remember David David stepping in
• 39:35
  and doing a quick supplemental episode audio, you know, an audio only episode,
• 39:42
  and he used a really good analogy. He said, if if you're
• 39:45
  a fan of the Denver Broncos, you're a fan of the Denver Broncos,
• 39:49
  but the Denver Broncos of today are not the same Denver Broncos of ten years
• 39:53
  ago, but you're still a fan of the of the Denver Broncos. So
• 39:59
  you know, trek Cast was trek Cast and trek Cast is still trek Cast.
• 40:01
  But there's different players on the field, and you know what, that's
• 40:06
  that's going to continue to happen. At some point. You know, I'm
• 40:10
  gonna say, hey, guys, you know I got two kids in college.
• 40:15
  Yeah, yeah, it's it's too much. I need to hand this
• 40:21
  off to somebody else. And who knows, ten years from now, Trek
• 40:23
  Cast may still be going with three people that we've never met. Sure,
• 40:30
  sure, and that's okay, And that's okay, and that's okay. So
• 40:34
  absolutely so thank you Scott for helping us keep this rickety ship chugging along.
• 40:44
  And I'll sail I'll sail at it for as long as I could. Yeah.
• 40:50
  Yeah. So the second part of this is, you know, we
• 40:55
  weren't sure how many of the treck Cast listeners really know you, right,
• 41:02
  and how much you well and how much you want them to know about you.
• 41:08
  No, I get it, So we you know, we were going
• 41:12
  to interview you. Yeah, a little bit for a few yeats if that's
• 41:15
  okay, that's still okay, Daniel, absolutely, Do you have any questions
• 41:20
  or we are we kind of Yeah, let's let's start with how did you
• 41:22
  get to Star trek We don't usually win things, but we can, but
• 41:25
  yeah, how did I get in the Star Trek? So I I remember
• 41:34
  the first time I actually started paying attention to the show, started watching on
• 41:37
  TV was right around season three of the Next Generation. And you know,
• 41:44
  at that age, you know, I was twelve ish, twelve thirteen,
• 41:50
  I didn't really understand how shows worked, you know. So I'm I'm watching
• 41:57
  the show that said it Star Trek, and I seem to have remembered watching
• 42:01
  old episodes of the original series. And keep in mind, this is all
• 42:06
  in the mind of a twelve year old, and I'm like, I could.
• 42:08
  I was a little confused. I'm like, is this the same ship
• 42:12
  and crew only older? Because that bald guy looks nothing like that one Kirk
• 42:16
  dude. And so I slowly just started watching episodes and I just got I
• 42:21
  got hooked. And I even remember when Deep Space nine came out, I
• 42:24
  still wasn't quite sure what I was looking at, Like deep Space nine is
• 42:27
  this I wasn't familiar with with, Like you know, how there's different versions
• 42:31
  of ncis Los Angeles and NCY. I wasn't familiar with that concept of,
• 42:36
  you know, doing different shows based on the same thing. And so I
• 42:39
  even when Deep Space nine came out. I wasn't quite sure if I was
• 42:42
  looking at like a made for TV movie or what it was. But I
• 42:45
  just remember watching season three and then watching my first real memory of Star Trek
• 42:54
  was the Cliffhanger, Best of Both Worlds, and after that I was just
• 43:00
  hooked. And so, yeah, I've loved just about I've loved every incarnation
• 43:06
  of Star Trek, you know, but I am a next generation guy.
• 43:10
  The Enterprise D is my my favorite ship. Yeah, I gotta love the
• 43:15
  D. I uh. In two thousand and two, I went to Vegas
• 43:22
  for the first last and only time, first and only time anyways, uh
• 43:25
  and went to the Star Trek Experience with my then fiance UH. And we
• 43:34
  did the Star Trek Experience and we did the ride, and I just remember
• 43:38
  during the ride, you're you're basically sitting in this You're standing with a bunch
• 43:43
  of other people in what looks like a waiting room, and then there's some
• 43:46
  like some commercial doors that look you know, push doors that look like they
• 43:50
  open up into another room. And I just remember the lights fading, the
• 43:52
  light's coming back on, and we were standing on the transporter room, the
• 43:57
  transporter pat of the Enterprise D. And it was d magic, magical thing
• 44:00
  I've ever experienced. Yeah, yeah, it just fantastic. So remember that.
• 44:05
  Yeah, my my history was Star Trek is since I was twelve or
• 44:07
  thirteen. Always been a hardcore fan, and you know, I love the
• 44:15
  new stuff. I've as far as the original series. My wife and I
• 44:19
  are just doing a rewatch. Actually for me, it's kind of a first
• 44:22
  time watch the original series, so I'm getting through that. It's a slog
• 44:29
  for some of it, it really is. But yeah, that's how I
• 44:32
  gott into Star Trek. Was just kind of acci. You know, back
• 44:35
  in the late eighties early nineties, you know a lot of US middle class
• 44:39
  kind of people. We had like three channels to choose from. It was
• 44:43
  CBS, ABC, NBC, and maybe some public access. So there wasn't
• 44:49
  a ton to watch. And I just remember Saturday evenings at seven on CBS
• 44:53
  they would play new Star Trek New Next Generation episodes, and then the following
• 44:57
  morning at eleven, they'd play a rewe rerun And I was the guy that
• 45:01
  I recorded every single one of them on VHS and I would I would try
• 45:06
  to edit them while I was watching it. So as soon as the commercial
• 45:08
  break happened, I'd hit the pause button on the record, and then when
• 45:12
  it had, you know, played again, I'd hit the record button.
• 45:15
  So I had hundreds of episodes on VHS that I watched dozens of times.
• 45:20
  So yeah, that's that's where I got my start in Star Trek. Right
• 45:23
  on Awesome And what was your uh, what was your first exposure to this
• 45:31
  show? Treck Cast? So I, I guess I have to go back
• 45:37
  to when I started listening to podcasts, which was probably about thirteen years ago,
• 45:45
  when I had just gotten out of the Army and I got a job
• 45:51
  as a truck driver, and I was, you know, truck driving if
• 45:55
  you're you know, it can be very boring. So I started downloading podcast
• 46:00
  and one of them I was searching through Star Trek podcasts and I came across
• 46:05
  Trek Cast and it had the most start Trek sounding title, So that's the
• 46:10
  one I clicked on and I listened to it for a while, and that's
• 46:16
  when the original host sort of kind of phased out doing it, and I
• 46:21
  stopped listening for a while, and then I came back to it a few
• 46:23
  years later and there was these three new guys hosting it. I'm like,
• 46:28
  Okay, I'll check this out these guys one of these days years from now,
• 46:37
  I'm gonna show them how it's done. But so I started, you
• 46:43
  know, I I listened to you guys for probably a year or so,
• 46:45
  and then my first interaction with you guys is I went to uh the Henry
• 46:52
  Ford Museum probably five or six years ago, and they had a Star Trek
• 46:59
  exhibit. And so about the same time I joined the start the trek Cast
• 47:05
  Facebook group. Yeah, and so I posted a whole bunch of pictures of
• 47:09
  the exhibit. I mean, it had like things like the enterprise D models
• 47:17
  from Star Trek First Contact, the one that the one that broke, the
• 47:23
  Golden Model, and just things like that. And it was a really big,
• 47:29
  really big display, really big deal. So I sort of posted every
• 47:32
  single I probably posted one hundred and fifty pictures on the truck Cast Facebook group.
• 47:37
  So and then I think Dan reached out. Daniel reached out to me
• 47:45
  and said, yeah, like when I mentioned that I was going to this,
• 47:51
  he said, yeah, post your pictures and that kind of stuff.
• 47:52
  And then and then I remember I must have called in two or three years
• 47:59
  ago, and just you know, that was my first time talking to you
• 48:05
  guys. And then I remember when you guys were talking about doing the track
• 48:10
  cast Chicago. It's Star Trek convention in Chicago, and I'm like, hey,
• 48:15
  this would be a great opportunity to meet the guys and you know,
• 48:19
  actually meet because we all listen to podcasts, or some of us listen to
• 48:22
  podcasts, we you know, and and we feel like I listened to the
• 48:24
  Adam Krolla show for a decade so much though that you know, you feel
• 48:29
  like you know the people that because you hear their voice every day they're telling
• 48:32
  stories. You know. I listened to, you know, the Neil deGrasse
• 48:36
  Tyson podcast Star Talk. You know, I feel like I know those guys
• 48:39
  because you listen to them every single day. And it kind of felt the
• 48:45
  same way with you guys. And then we finally met in Chicago and that
• 48:46
  had a blast. And it's kind of like that one meme, this one
• 48:52
  it feels listening to podcasts, yeah exactly, exactly, yep, yep,
• 48:57
  oh yeah yeah. And so yeah, So then I think after we met
• 49:07
  up in Chicago, uh you, one of you guys gave me a call
• 49:12
  or texted me and said, hey, somebody's not going to be on the
• 49:15
  show, would you mind? Uh, you know, guest hosting. That
• 49:19
  must have been a year, year and a half ago, and I just
• 49:22
  remember, like I was so nervous being on the show, you know,
• 49:30
  because look, as far as I was concerned, I was, I was
• 49:35
  on the Today Show. Right as far as I was concerned, I was
• 49:37
  on the Today Show or or or or the Tonight Show. You know,
• 49:42
  that's how I felt, you know, because in my eyes, you know,
• 49:46
  like any of my other podcasts hosts or any of my other YouTube channel
• 49:52
  guys that I follow, you guys are celebrities. We're not. But I
• 50:00
  when I met you guys at that bar in Chicago, I felt like I
• 50:04
  was meeting celebrities. Oh geez, you know it's you know, it's funny.
• 50:07
  I can't remember if it was Daniel or Chad, but I leaned into
• 50:09
  one of you guys and I said, I feel like a half as celebrity.
• 50:15
  This is weird. Yeah. So, uh so the first time I
• 50:22
  guest hosted, all I mean, I I people like my my friends and
• 50:28
  family said they couldn't tell, but I was so nervous. You never forget
• 50:30
  your first time, right, Yeah, and it was. It was glorious.
• 50:35
  It was glorious. But yeah, and when you guys asked me to
• 50:38
  you know, uh, guest host on a semi permanent basis, I mean
• 50:43
  again, it's a it's a no brainer. I love doing this. I
• 50:45
  love to start talking about Star Trek. You guys are awesome. So here
• 50:52
  it is. Besides Star Trek, what are some of your other favorite franchises
• 50:58
  out there. I'm a big Superman fan, have been since he died in
• 51:05
  the nineties. I'm a big Star Wars fan. And you know, when
• 51:13
  people ask everybody asked if they see a Trek fan that's also a Star Wars
• 51:16
  fan, they always ask, which is your favorite franchise, And it's like
• 51:19
  asking, you know, who's your favorite kid. I love both of them
• 51:22
  for different reasons. Yeah, So who's your Superman of all the movies and
• 51:28
  shows? You know, I'm a really big fan of the uh Superman and
• 51:32
  Lois the New the New series Tyler Hecklin. Yeah, I thought he's done
• 51:39
  a real good job, you know, and he does. We talked about
• 51:43
  a little bit before. It's I think it's harder to play Clark than it
• 51:46
  is to play Superman, you know, to play Superman, you just have
• 51:51
  to, you know, pump your chest out and just say, you know,
• 51:55
  good day, citizen, and you know, stuff like that. But
• 51:58
  with Clark, it's it's a much more nuanced character. I really liked Brandon
• 52:02
  Routh's version, both in Superman Returns and when he reprised the role for the
• 52:09
  Crisis on Infinite Earth storyline in the arrow Verse. So recently, I have
• 52:17
  never seen Game of Thrones, and I just spent the last month watching the
• 52:23
  entire series Game of Thrones, and I loved it. It was fantastic.
• 52:29
  I even like season one another one that's on my list. Yep. It
• 52:32
  was really good, definitely worth a watch. I didn't know if I was
• 52:37
  going to be into it because I'm not super into fantasy, you know.
• 52:42
  So I'm not like, I don't have anything against dragons and magic. I
• 52:45
  just not really my thing, you know, medieval kind of thing. But
• 52:50
  the storylines are great, characters are great, So yeah, I really love
• 52:53
  that. So yeah, T bear ass Marvel or DC DC. Okay,
• 53:01
  love Marvel. I mean, you know, Captain America is my favorite Marvel
• 53:05
  character. You know, him and I have a lot in common. We're
• 53:13
  both male, and we were both in the military. That's where it ends.
• 53:16
  Yeah, you're gonna say you're from the forties. Yeah, no,
• 53:21
  that's it. We're both male and we were both in the military. Oh,
• 53:28
  so, what do you think about the nine? Oh sorry, somebody
• 53:34
  said deep State sign a Voyager again? Yeah, t Bear said Voyager de
• 53:37
  Sace nine Deep Sase nine. I love Voyager. It's uh, it's a
• 53:43
  close third in my heart, after you know, next Gen Depas nine and
• 53:46
  then Voyager. But yeah, Dan, you had a question. Uh yeah,
• 53:58
  it was back to back to Superman's So what do you think of the
• 54:04
  most recent film version of Superman the Henry Yeah, Henry Cavell does a really
• 54:13
  good job of playing keall he had. He does a really good job of
• 54:16
  playing Superman. I thought he did a mediocre job of playing Clark Kent.
• 54:23
  He doesn't, you know, he he he's too kel l when he's playing
• 54:29
  Clark Kent. So, and it's it's I I understand, it's it's a
• 54:35
  it's not much of a difference. You're talking about a guy who's you're talking
• 54:37
  about the same guy. But you have to understand that Clark is who he
• 54:43
  is. The facade is Superman. Yeah, Okay, at least in my
• 54:47
  opinion. You know, Clark is the person he lives his life as because
• 54:52
  if he you know, if if if Superman was the real guy and he
• 54:54
  was playing Clark Kent, that would be exhausting for him instead of the opposite
• 55:00
  of Batman. Batman is the guy Bruce Wayne after disguise, exactly exactly.
• 55:06
  So what would you think about you mentioned Captain America. What would you think
• 55:10
  of You know, there's a new film version of Superman coming out, and
• 55:16
  we were all eager to see what direction they go. What would you think
• 55:22
  if they took a page out of the Marvel book and wrote him like Captain
• 55:28
  America, where he's this goody two shoes, watch your language character. Yeah,
• 55:38
  there's there's a world in a world full of superheroes that aren't always like
• 55:43
  that, yeahead of having him be just another dark superhero in a world full
• 55:49
  of dark superheroes, right right, And and that's what people I think like
• 55:52
  about Clark because he's not Bruce Wayne. He's not Yeah, he is the
• 56:00
  boy scout, and there are a lot of parallels between Captain America and Superman.
• 56:06
  So yeah, I think if they went that direction, because you know,
• 56:09
  DC has tried so hard to become Marvel, to become Infinity War saga
• 56:17
  that they've they've gotten you know, darker and prettier, and then they've tried
• 56:22
  to inject humor into it, and I did something like Dan just suggested making
• 56:28
  it making Superman more like, making Clark more like Steve Rogers. I think
• 56:34
  that would go a long way towards bringing it back to, you know,
• 56:37
  him, the humanity side, the human side of of Clark. So yeah,
• 56:43
  I would. I would like to see that him being the little bit
• 56:45
  of a boy scout. I like the version of Clark. I like,
• 56:49
  is is you know, all boy scout just a little just a little bit
• 56:52
  of bumbling, not not too much, just a little bit the right amount
• 57:00
  of confidence because obviously the character has for good reason, has reason to be
• 57:08
  over confident, and you want to be careful with that if you're playing Clark.
• 57:15
  And you know what, It's something that I miss about characters and the
• 57:20
  way they've been portrayed lately, is you know, like the flash like Grant
• 57:22
  Gustin. I love Grant Gustin's portrayal, but the thing that he was missing,
• 57:27
  the thing that a lot of these characters are missing is like their wittiness,
• 57:35
  Like Grant Gustin's The Flash. In CW's The Flash, that character is
• 57:40
  supposed to have like some witty, zingy comebacks. He's supposed to be a
• 57:44
  little sarcastic sarcasm. That's what I miss in some of these characters is sarcasm.
• 57:49
  Barry Allen is like a witty comeback, sarcastic kind of like you know,
• 57:53
  kind of guy, and you never see that in c W's The Flash.
• 57:58
  I'd like to see. I'd like to see Clark be just a little
• 58:04
  bit sarcastic, like in a in a in a in a playful way,
• 58:07
  not in a dark way, just kind of in a playful way. Yeah,
• 58:09
  So I'm looking forward to it. I I you know, any any
• 58:14
  obviously, nobody likes change, but uh, I think the studios are just
• 58:19
  you know, especially DC, they're just desperately trying to find a formula that
• 58:22
  works. They're trying to find what what Marvel did and uh, you know,
• 58:28
  we'll find I think marvels to find that formula. Yeah, because they've
• 58:34
  had some announcements lately, and they've had some changes and some you know,
• 58:37
  recast decisions. They need to make and you know, they need to bring
• 58:42
  it back to Iron Man, not the character. They need to bring it
• 58:45
  back to that that that phase, you know, that phase one energy.
• 58:51
  And we got one last question from t Bear Discovery or Star Wars episodes eight
• 58:55
  and nine. Oh wow, I'm glad you asked that question because it leads
• 59:04
  to another topic about Star Wars. But we went so long without any new
• 59:12
  Trek, especially TV. The last time, you know, before this whole
• 59:17
  CBS paramoun plus stuff, the last time we saw a new Trek was Enterprise.
• 59:22
  And you know, we guys our age might think, oh, that
• 59:25
  wasn't that long ago. That was a long time ago. Yeah, you
• 59:29
  know, And I from that standpoint, I really appreciated having Trek back.
• 59:36
  It has hadn't been great discovery. I think they they went in a direction
• 59:44
  that not all of us appreciated. I think there's some great talent, you
• 59:47
  know, so those actors are fantastic, But I think the direction that they
• 59:53
  went is kind of similar to the direction that Star Wars Wants to go episode
• 1:00:00
  eight and nine. Episode eight was a train wreck. There was no cohesion.
• 1:00:06
  Why with that amount of money, talent, history, they just said,
• 1:00:10
  oh, here you go. Director that nobody kind of really knows.
• 1:00:15
  You take this and you take the story, and you go in whatever direction
• 1:00:19
  you want to. We don't even care. And and then he went in
• 1:00:22
  a direction and then they were like, oh, we didn't like or know
• 1:00:25
  what direction you went in, so we're gonna kind of pretend that that didn't
• 1:00:30
  happen. And we did Star Wars episode nine right, it was. It
• 1:00:34
  was weird. Now, just like with Star Trek, we went so long
• 1:00:37
  without any Star Wars that when it finally came back, I appreciated it.
• 1:00:45
  You know, finally lightsabers, Finally, you know, some good old fashioned
• 1:00:49
  battles, finally some you know, stuff like that. They did some stuff
• 1:00:51
  in the story that not everybody liked. But that brings me to the news
• 1:00:55
  story about the next episode ten and what Daisy Ridley is going to reprise her
• 1:01:04
  role as as race Gywalker and the there's a new director. And she said
• 1:01:13
  in a some kind of comic con panel that what she wants to do is
• 1:01:17
  she wants to make men uncomfortable. And I get that. I you know,
• 1:01:22
  I'm almost as if she was almost saying as if Star Wars didn't have
• 1:01:30
  any good, strong female characters. And my wife and I were just talking
• 1:01:34
  about that today. Uh. You know, Princess Leiah man Mathma ahsokah'ska I
• 1:01:40
  had a series based on a female lead character, one of the arguably one
• 1:01:45
  of the strongest female characters in Star Wars. Uh So Star Wars has that.
• 1:01:52
  Yea, they've got it and I and the female characters are great.
• 1:01:53
  I love Ahsoka is my favorite Star Wars character. She's late to the game.
• 1:01:58
  If she had said this in Night in ninety seven, right, that
• 1:02:00
  might right, might be true. So it's seven. Is it okay to
• 1:02:07
  make men feel uncomfortable in media? Absolutely? Do we need it in Star
• 1:02:12
  Wars? I don't know. I don't think though. I don't want to
• 1:02:19
  feel uncomfortable watching a Star Wars movie. I don't want watching a Star Wars
• 1:02:23
  movie. I don't want to pay twelve dollars to feel uncomfortable, right,
• 1:02:30
  So is it the place? Is that the place that we want to go
• 1:02:35
  in Star Wars? In Star Wars? I don't think so. But I
• 1:02:39
  think you know, we've said this before with Discovery. To me, it's
• 1:02:44
  not the issue of those types of characters. The issue is how they present
• 1:02:46
  them, like the storytelling. If it's better. Like, you know,
• 1:02:52
  Ripley is one of the most badass women characters you've ever seen. That was
• 1:02:57
  forty something years right, agree, So this idea that just doesn't happen is
• 1:03:01
  nonsense, right, But she fits well into the story. They present it
• 1:03:07
  well in the story. That's what it is, right, So I think
• 1:03:10
  that's that's what needs to be done. But Sarah Connor was nineteen ninety one,
• 1:03:16
  yeah, two thousand and one, twenty eleven, yeah, twenty twenty
• 1:03:22
  one. Now we're in twenty so you're talking about almost thirty five years ago.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah, Sarah Connor was the biggest badass of the summer of nineteen ninety
• 1:03:30
  one. Absolutely, So yeah, if you make a good yeah, seven
• 1:03:36
  of nine, if you just just you know, stop saying we're gonna yeah,
• 1:03:45
  it's a difference of show yeah, just yes, show don't tell yes,
• 1:03:50
  show us don't tell us show yep. Yeah, give us those examples.
• 1:03:53
  But yeah, if you have to advertise your intentions, you're not doing
• 1:03:57
  a good job at your storytin right, right, you got to just make
• 1:04:00
  it part of it. So yeah, yeah, so all right, and
• 1:04:04
  I hope nobody misinterprets that. It's all right. I hope nobody misinterprets that,
• 1:04:12
  you know. Yeah, I don't know what a feminist is in twenty
• 1:04:15
  twenty four. But you know, I I believe my wife should make just
• 1:04:18
  as much money as I should doing the same job. Yeah, I still
• 1:04:21
  open the door for sometimes. So I you know, I don't know where
• 1:04:26
  I I don't know where I fit in on that spectrum of you know,
• 1:04:30
  but in Star Wars, Yeah, in Star Wars, star Wars fans,
• 1:04:38
  and I guess that's who they're making the movie for, right, Star Wars
• 1:04:40
  fans. We want a certain thing. We want strong characters. That's what
• 1:04:45
  we want. So that's right, thank you for letting me rant. Sure,
• 1:04:51
  sure, well let's get to listener feedback. And I actually have a
• 1:04:58
  new stinger. Oh listener feedback. I love it, love it. And
• 1:05:09
  that that phone that you saw, that's the new phone. That's the one
• 1:05:14
  in Data's chest, right, that's right, that's the one it is.
• 1:05:16
  Just that's right, that's right on our new number five seven zero six six
• 1:05:25
  one zero zero zero one. Do you have an aversion to modern phones?
• 1:05:30
  Is that? What's what is that? Yeah? For those of you intently
• 1:05:34
  staring into your radios, Yeah, there's a there's a phone there that's like
• 1:05:39
  an old orange or yellow Nokia. They were indestructible, Yes they were,
• 1:05:45
  Yes they were. I played many games of snake on mine. Yeah.
• 1:05:49
  All right, Well we got chaz Biz waiting on the line, so let
• 1:05:53
  me bring him on. There he is. I had to chase some dogs
• 1:05:56
  outside, so oh yeah, Dan gathers the dog Jasmine John. Yeah,
• 1:06:04
  what's going on? Man? Hey, jazz Bizz is he there? Do
• 1:06:12
  we lose him? I think we lost them. He's frozen. He's frozen.
• 1:06:17
  He's been waiting so long, he's completely frozen. Oh yeah, well
• 1:06:27
  here he goes. He's coming back. He's going. Okay, okay,
• 1:06:30
  there he is, great guest. Yeah yeah, Christmas tree is still up.
• 1:06:35
  That's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe this week,
• 1:06:40
  let's see, we'll give you to Valentine's Day away into the living room.
• 1:06:46
  So it's sitting on top of the rider. So is it is that
• 1:06:49
  a fake tree or a real tree? Okay? Yeah? Did anybody get
• 1:06:55
  any Trek related Christmas gifts? M hmm, just ornaments, that's it.
• 1:07:01
  Ornaments. Yeah. No, I got my new Starfleet Academy T shirt.
• 1:07:08
  Here's a star Trek themed holiday question. Okay, so if you live in
• 1:07:12
  the twenty fourth of the twenty fifth century, when you take down your Christmas
• 1:07:16
  tree, do you just shove it in the replicator? Do you recycle it
• 1:07:19
  in the replicator? You replicated Christmas tree every year? You can store that
• 1:07:24
  thing stored in the attic. You know, they might have like out there,
• 1:07:30
  like some purists that actually carry that stuff on that has like a compactable
• 1:07:35
  Christmas tree. Right, I'm thinking like the jetson was like their vehicle that
• 1:07:40
  folds up into a briefcase. Yeahm or is it holographic? Do you have
• 1:07:44
  a holographic are there? You go, that's the answer, perfect. Yeah.
• 1:07:48
  You tell the computer to and the and the Christmas program and it just
• 1:07:53
  got a dis or something on the ground and it pops up as a Christmas
• 1:07:56
  tree and it's seasonal. So you know, I think we need a he's
• 1:08:00
  got a big bunny. Yeah, I think we can market guys. We
• 1:08:04
  need some engineer for Federation Day. There's like streamers holographic, give me some
• 1:08:15
  box. That's great. Oh no, the other fans, it's only fans.
• 1:08:28
  What is this podcast reading? You're gonna have to put a warning.
• 1:08:33
  Daniel I know you guys seen the new South Park episodes on Paramount plus No
• 1:08:40
  no, yeah, the last one is it? Is it on? Yeah?
• 1:08:46
  Somebody else? There's the pan verse and then there's only there's another one
• 1:08:50
  about only fans and it's it's pretty fun. Yeah. So it's your paying
• 1:08:58
  for Paramount plush watch it. So yeah, get your money's worth. Soon
• 1:09:02
  we're gonna have to pay for all the streaming service. I better not see
• 1:09:04
  any trek cast. Only fan pages should pop up, Dan, at least
• 1:09:10
  not without you. Man, you'll see it Franky on there and you know
• 1:09:15
  oh yeah, uhbas Dan's got his own Franky ears. I mean you could,
• 1:09:20
  you could do it? Do that? Yeah? Well, did anybody
• 1:09:26
  watch rebel maon? No? No, no, any good? If you
• 1:09:33
  want to see a copy and paste of different movies, that's what I've got,
• 1:09:39
  Samurai. You have white sabers, you have hipo griffs. It's like
• 1:09:44
  got little Harry Potter in there. You got everything. Yeah, I've heard
• 1:09:48
  that story subscript. Yeah, and then they already made their own Snyder cut.
• 1:09:58
  Also, Yeah, there's a Snider cut. And then there's part two
• 1:10:02
  that comes out and was it April? And then that's gonna have Snyder cuts,
• 1:10:06
  So there's gonna be a six hour cut of this movie that you gotta
• 1:10:11
  wait almost a whole year for to watch the complete saga. That's ridiculous.
• 1:10:15
  Wow. Yeah, and it's it took me five or six times to finish
• 1:10:21
  it. It was so bad. I saw a clip where I guess this
• 1:10:27
  lady is a farmer and she's throwing seeds and they literally slow mow her throwing
• 1:10:31
  seeds, yes, for some reason, and the background looks so fake.
• 1:10:36
  I mean yeah, it was like a that sounds like a cinematographer that went
• 1:10:41
  to a community college for cinematography and you know, or watch it a lot
• 1:10:45
  of YouTube videos on what makes a great cinematographer. Yeah, sounds very artsy.
• 1:10:51
  Maybe if you watch it at two time speed, it actually makes sense.
• 1:10:55
  It's all the slimmo. Hey yeah, yeah, do that. And
• 1:10:58
  I'm not knocking community college is either because I went to one. So yeah,
• 1:11:05
  that was a great show. So everybody loves community. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:11:13
  did you guys have what was your mascot? The human beings that went
• 1:11:20
  over my head head? Community, they can decide on what. Yeah,
• 1:11:28
  I haven't, I haven't seen the show. Community. That's the one with
• 1:11:30
  who's the main guy in that, Joe McHale. Yeah, Joe McHale.
• 1:11:38
  I like Joe McHale. And then it's it's a great show. Chevy Chase
• 1:11:42
  is in there, and there's an episode of that where the whole it's been
• 1:11:47
  a few years, but the whole episode takes place in Joel McHale's mind while
• 1:11:51
  he's in a coma. Yeah, and it looks like an episode of the
• 1:11:56
  G I. Joe cartoon. Yeah, yeah, episodes and with commercial breaks
• 1:12:05
  with the kids, you know, played with the great Maybe I should check
• 1:12:11
  that out. You should check that. It's a great show. It's funny
• 1:12:15
  you watch it with your wife. I don't know about the kids, but
• 1:12:19
  it's good, great comedy. And the thing about the human beings is the
• 1:12:25
  college can decide on everybody was offended about the mascot, so they can figure
• 1:12:32
  out what color the mascot should be, and then by the end the mascot
• 1:12:38
  looks like a great alien. And then yeah, I think we had a
• 1:12:45
  high school around here that had a Native American themed mascott and they got they
• 1:12:50
  got rid of it, and so all of our local problems have been solved
• 1:12:57
  now. So yeah, you did it accomplished something. Oh boy, But
• 1:13:04
  uh, what about Aquaman? You guys watch Akaman over the break? I
• 1:13:10
  did, I didn't. My son did. Yeah, okay, I'll watch
• 1:13:15
  it. Watch it was the whole It was this last d C movie,
• 1:13:23
  right. Yeah, it was a good movie. It was a fun movie.
• 1:13:26
  I saw it with my son, my eleven year old son. We
• 1:13:29
  both we both enjoyed it. As far as being the end of the cinematic
• 1:13:35
  universe, it was kind of anti climactic that it was like a thor type
• 1:13:43
  movie. They should have flipped it with flash flash in the end. Yes,
• 1:13:46
  that's what it was. That's what it was supposed to be, and
• 1:13:50
  for whatever reason, it didn't work out that way. So I kind of
• 1:13:54
  feel bad for Jason Mamala because well, he's he's gonna loo. Aquaman was
• 1:14:01
  a good film, and yeah, Man Too was a good film. Yeah.
• 1:14:06
  And what about gal Gado being a wonder woman? I mean she's she
• 1:14:12
  was a good wonder woman. Yeah, yes she was. She was good,
• 1:14:15
  wonderful, easy on the eyes. Yeah. It wasn't the greatest,
• 1:14:19
  No, it was a no. I did not like nineteen eighty four.
• 1:14:23
  That was a bad movie. It was just a bad movie. And I'm
• 1:14:27
  very forgiving with things like that. I'm I I'm not so I am even
• 1:14:32
  I'll say that was a terrible, terrible movie. There were some good parts
• 1:14:36
  in it, you know, but yeah, the premise was stupid. Yeah,
• 1:14:44
  it could have been so much more of it. It kind of Peter.
• 1:14:47
  I look at the DCEU kind of the same way that I look at
• 1:14:54
  Discovery. I waited a long time to see if they could fix it,
• 1:14:59
  and now and now I'm of the mind that it just can't be fixed,
• 1:15:02
  right. Yeah. And you know, I went to see Aquaman because I
• 1:15:06
  like the first one, and and you know, I thought it would be
• 1:15:10
  a fun movie to watch, and it was. And I just kind of
• 1:15:15
  had to turn my mind off and pretend it wasn't connected to anything the other
• 1:15:20
  films. And if you do that, if you do that, it's fun
• 1:15:24
  to watch. The dynamic with him and his brother Orm was was fun to
• 1:15:29
  watch. It did have a very thor Ragnarok feeling to it. It's kind
• 1:15:34
  of like, yeah, yeah, the m c U right now, they
• 1:15:39
  almost need to totally reboot the MCU from scratch. I think that's what they're
• 1:15:44
  gonna do after Secret Wars yeah, they need to redo it. Start off
• 1:15:48
  with the X Men and Fantastic Four and well some of the echoes have started
• 1:15:53
  to age out of the characters. Yeah, you recast like the whole Fantastic
• 1:15:57
  Four and the X Men and from from X Men all the way down.
• 1:16:02
  I mean even Patrick stewartt he's too old for Charles Xavier, even though I
• 1:16:06
  can't think of to an actor an actor better suited to a role. I
• 1:16:14
  I am so hoping for Doctor Doom to come out, but after the what's
• 1:16:18
  happened in the last few weeks, I really want Kat Williams to voice Doctor
• 1:16:23
  Doom. I think that would be great. Man. He's spicy right now.
• 1:16:28
  Yeah he is. It's great. Yes, he's Yeah, he's in
• 1:16:30
  the news, in the news. I think it's gonna be on Brogan pretty
• 1:16:34
  soon, gonna they're gonna get drunk and high, and then you're gonna hear
• 1:16:40
  like a whole story we'll hear going on. I must have missed something what's
• 1:16:45
  going on with Kat Williams. So he did an interview with Shannon Sharp and
• 1:16:49
  basically took down all of Hollywood. And the great thing is, like everyone
• 1:16:54
  that he's mentioned has come out and made response videos, so you know,
• 1:16:58
  he hit some nerves. Even got Ludacrous to go back into the studio and
• 1:17:01
  rate a disc track towards Kat Williams. After what he said about Ludacris.
• 1:17:08
  It's kind of insane. Did he say something about Kevin Hart, because yeah,
• 1:17:11
  he did Kevin Hart. Now this is all related to what does this
• 1:17:20
  that mostly have to do it? So it just calling people out and having
• 1:17:26
  proof of it right where Kevin Hart specifically, he said that Kevin Hart is
• 1:17:30
  an industry plant, really had no success before. He just showed up in
• 1:17:35
  l A and all of a sudden was a big hit. So the industry
• 1:17:39
  chose him and and gave him basically and the way Kat Williams presents it is
• 1:17:47
  before that Kevin Hart did not sell out any shows, He did not headline
• 1:17:51
  anything. He just showed up and became famous, which I mean, the
• 1:17:57
  studios do pick people, right, We've seen that's all music industry. They
• 1:18:00
  sounds like my career here, like yeah, that's right, you're an industry
• 1:18:05
  plant. Yes, you're an industry plant. Yes, some no tail and
• 1:18:10
  ask clown just starts to the podcast. That's right. But but the thing
• 1:18:15
  he's dismissing though, is sure they can pick you and put you in those
• 1:18:19
  rules, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're the guy. You have to work
• 1:18:23
  at it and keep it going. You know, Like Spielberg has picked out
• 1:18:28
  a lot of guys that he wanted to be his next boy, and it
• 1:18:30
  didn't happen. Like the guy from Grimlins, right, I forget his name.
• 1:18:34
  Nothing happened with that guy, right, yeah, point taking. Yeah,
• 1:18:39
  yeah, Well it's like Lucas. He picked out like just low budgeted
• 1:18:45
  actors for Star Wars, even the prequels. You know, he didn't want
• 1:18:49
  anybody really big in there. See, he didn't like some of these you
• 1:18:55
  know, big movie stars. You had to spend so much on the budget
• 1:18:59
  for that, so right right, yeah, Okay, sometimes it's cheaper just
• 1:19:04
  to go with the low rated guy. You know. It's kind of like
• 1:19:10
  the MCU how it started. You had Robert Downey that was kind of forgotten
• 1:19:15
  and now oh he was on his way out. Yeah he was on this
• 1:19:18
  way yeah, and then he became a superstar afterwards, ye right, right,
• 1:19:24
  and he was did the smartest thing is he took a percentage and became
• 1:19:28
  one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood him in the Rock. You know,
• 1:19:33
  it's funny. They were talking earlier about how Patrick Stewart and Jean lu
• 1:19:38
  Icard are not the same person. They're not the same personality. The opposite
• 1:19:44
  of that is is Robert absolutely. Yeah. Oh, you're right. They
• 1:19:53
  went down you know, person personally, they went kind of went down the
• 1:19:56
  same path. Yeah, very similar. Yeah, what is that noise?
• 1:20:02
  That was? That was my watch? My wife texted news. I'm scared
• 1:20:09
  to look at it. Come on, just let my narcissism fester a little
• 1:20:19
  bit longer. Don't tell you what? Well, anything else you want to
• 1:20:31
  bring up? Chas biz before we read? That's I guess that's all I
• 1:20:34
  mean. Are you guys still doing bi weekly or out show? Oh?
• 1:20:39

  So it just on the podcast. I want to I want to clarify for
• 1:21:46
  those people when I talk like this, I'm holding up. No he's not.
• 1:21:51
  He doesn't have any props. The fourth post, he's putting the little
• 1:21:57
  tube in his neck. Yeah. Maybe we should have him and uh somebody
• 1:22:12
  else have a conversation. We should have a conversation. Who brought the idiot?
