Yeah, Daniel, And I'm thinking, you know, he's on a
1:14

1:21
what, looking like a bobble head down the street. Wake up, Dan
1:26
and get your ass of event. Yeah, yeah, it was. It
1:29
was close close to sported. Yeah. I had another one of those nights
1:33
where I didn't sleep. Well, yeah, that's up all night and then
1:42
you finally get to sleep and it's like, oh, I guess I can
1:46
sleep three hours. So yeah, boom fun. Sorry about that, man,
1:51
Yeah, it's all right, Yeah, it's okay, Okay, I
1:56
had this. I had a very you know, it's a very special episode
1:59
of Start Check that I had to watch. That's right, that's right,
2:01
that's right. Yeah, I watched it too. Hey, we should let
2:07
people know for the for the convention the Trek Long Island when we're there.
2:12
Uh. So we had talked about this offline. But so Friday night we're
2:15
gonna get together with some other podcasts. They're gonna meet at the Dave and
2:20
Busters out there and Long Island, and uh, it's at nine o'clock.
2:23
Yeah, so it'll be our group and then other Star Trek podcasts as well.
2:29
So we'll get to have snacks and play games and win stuff at the
2:34
Dave and Busters. So that's been fun cool, And then we'll figure out,
2:37
uh, we'll figure out dinner plans for Saturday night. Okay, Like
2:40
Scott had suggested, we should probably make plans for people. So it's a
2:45
good call. Yeah, and you know, as we know, we can't
2:49
accomplish anything about Scott's guidance and Captain Scott, Captain Scott right, oh,
3:00
man, if take a week off buddy, it's cool. This is what
3:02
happens. We'll just talk about you for forty five minutes exactly. That's how
3:07
it works. Trek Cast Door Edition, don't it style Babo Tech because that's
3:13
what I named the show. Oh did you Yeah, because we're going to
3:19
the library right, where's the library? Yeah? God? This show?
3:23
Yeah, this show. Well, we'll talk about it. Why don't we
3:29
get to the news first, because there's all interesting news stories. Yeah,
3:31
let's do it Star Trek News. All right, So our first news story
3:39
comes to us from Deadline and stop me if you heard this before. But
3:45
uh, Sony and Paramount have signed a non disclosure agreement allowing deal talks to
3:51
start. So this is different than what we had heard before. It looks
3:55
like that twenty six billion dollar bid is no longer on the table. But
4:00
by having these negotiations begin, it will allow for a different type of deal
4:08
between Sony and Apollo and Paramount. The going rumor right now is it's going
4:15
to be a narrower deal. So what does that mean. Potentially, it
4:20
means that instead of buying Paramount as a whole, they might buy chunks of
4:27
it or the majority of it and sell off other things. Yeah, we
4:32
don't really know yet. I mean, it's very early days in this whole
4:36
negotiation process, you know what. I just hope they have learned from the
4:43
mistakes of the past and they keep the brand together. They don't do that
4:50
bullshit they did a few years ago, where you know, the movies are
4:55
over here and the shows are over here, and because of that, nobody
4:57
talks to each other. And you know, if they're going to sell the
5:01
franchise, sell the whole franchise as one one wreckage, right hopefully that is
5:08
Yeah, well, I guess we'll find out soon enough. But yeah,
5:13
so that's where we're at with things. So this is very early days.
5:17
We don't know what it means yet. But it looks like the sky Dance
5:20
deal is over for the time being. And don't know if twenty six billion
5:27
dollars will be the final price. Could be lower, could be higher.
5:30
I guess we'll see. Part of the reason they go into an NBA like
5:33
this is so that Sony and Apollo can get a closer look at Paramounts books.
5:40
It's what's kind of happening under the hood. So yeah, okay,
5:46
all right, and then our next new story comes to us from Game Rent,
5:50
and they got to talk to Chris Pine because Chris Pine is out there
5:56
promoting his new movie, and so they you know, they asked him,
6:00
hey, what's up with Star Trek for and basically he gave a giant shoulder
6:03
shrug, and you know, yeah, he says he's hoping for a new
6:11
one, of course. But here's the quote. I honestly don't know there
6:15
is something in the news of a new writer coming on board. I thought
6:18
they already had a script, but I guess I was wrong, or they
6:21
decided to pivot. It's always as it's always been with Star Trek. I'll
6:27
just have to wait and see. So, you know, the longer the
6:31
longer it goes, the less and less likely. Oh yeah, absolutely,
6:38
I'm I'm operating under the idea that this is over. They've closed the book
6:44
on on that that branch. Let's say Sony or some other company buys Star
6:49
Trek, right, because they buy Paramount, they're gonna want to put their
6:53
own stamp on it. They're not going to want to rehash the old movies.
6:57
So yeah, it looks very unlike to me. But one thing that
7:01
I thought was interesting was that in this interview, He did say that by
7:04
the third film, Into Darkness or Beyond, he felt the most like Kirk,
7:12
like he felt like he'd finally dialed in his performance the most. So
7:15
okay, I kind of feel that too now thinking about it. But I've
7:23
only seen that one one and a half times, So okay, I don't
7:26
know fair enough. I saw it once when it came out, and then
7:29
I tried to rewatch it about six months ago, and I don't think I
7:32
finished it. Oh okay, So I don't know. You know, we
7:38
all love Beaskie Boys in our own way. You know, it's funny.
7:43
The two thousand and nine one. I've watched that one about a thousand times,
7:46
and even though it's a very flawed movie, there's a lot of problems
7:49
with that movie. Yeah, it's still an enjoyable movie to me. It's
7:57
like fast food, right, It's not good for you, it's not the
7:59
best, but it's all right every now and then. Yeah, yeah,
8:03
yeah, all right. Our next news story comes to us from art Net,
8:07
and we're getting a little bit of an update. Remember the long lost
8:11
and finally recovered Enterprise model. Yes, yeah, so we're getting another update
8:16
on this thing. So Apparently it was found in an old storage unit,
8:22
kind of like that show Storage Wars, people bet on them and yeah,
8:24
so that's what it was found in. Right, So the people that originally
8:28
had been on that storage unit went and got it appraised at a at a
8:33
auction house. The auction house discovered it had been stolen and helped return it
8:37
to the to the Rodden Berries. The original deal was they were going to
8:41
negotiate a price between the storage people and the Bridenberries to give these people,
8:46
you know. And so now the storage people are filing a lawsuit because they
8:54
have not been paid. Yeah. The original estimate was that the model worth
9:00
about eight hundred thousand. Yeah, that got talked down to about five hundred
9:05
thousand, so a half million, and these guys are saying they have not
9:09
been paid. Also, apparently it had been switched to being the cost of
9:13
the model to it is being called a finder's fee. Yeah, so those
9:18
guys don't like that either. Yeah. Yeah, So I mean I touched
9:22
on this a little bit. Yeah, if it's if it's legitimate stolen property,
9:28
you don't have to pay anything right to get it back. It's yours,
9:33
right, it's yours. It was stolen from you, it gets returned
9:37
to you. That's it. That's the end of the story, right,
9:41
And so these guys have not been paid at all, and so now they're
9:45
finding the lossy so well, it's it's kinda it's kind of on them for
9:52
bringing it to an auction house, bringing it to an organization that's kind of
9:56
bound by the rules, right, they had if they had just sold it
10:03
to a person. You know, when you go into a pawn shop,
10:07
they want to know who you are. Yeah, you know, they take
10:11
ID from you. A lot of them take a thumb print from you because
10:16
when the police come in and seize that stolen property from them, they want
10:20
to be able to go back and recover it from the person who who brought
10:24
it in. So, I mean I kinda saw this coming. Yeah,
10:30
but so well, we'll see what happens. But you know, the sand
10:35
is always shifting in this story. Yea. And then our last news story,
10:39
Coach first from ICV two. You know that that popular website, I
10:45
see you two right, yeah, ICV two, And I just thought this
10:50
would be fun for some people. There's a new Star Trek deck building game
10:54
coming. The pre orders are are now underway. The game is called Star
10:58
Wars ELMS. So if you're a fan of like Magic the Gathering or or
11:05
games like that, Pokemon yu gi oh, I guess now you can have
11:11
your own Star Trek version, just like the old one. There was that
11:13
one in like the nineties. So yeah, but the the pre orders are
11:18
hitting. This is being put together by UVS Games and Wise Wizard Games.
11:24
So apparently this is the the kind of like starter deck. Yeah, there
11:30
are about one hundred and thirty cards in there, and apparently these will play
11:35
up to two to four players. So so you said there was a game
11:39
like this in the nineties. Yeah, yeah, it was a trading card
11:43
game. Okay, but but I can tell you that nineties nostalgia has shifted
11:52
into high cure lately. Yeah. It's getting you know, it's gotten crazy
12:00
amount of nineties nostalgia. That's that's occurring right now. Oh well, and
12:03
it's not just that these these trading card games are really popular right now,
12:07
yeah, really popular. I mean there's a Transformers game right now. There's
12:13
yeah, you name it, there's there's a game for it. Yeah,
12:16
So which is kind of it's kind of the opposite of what we were seeing
12:26
just three or four years ago when non fungible uh whatever's were the big thing
12:33
for three weeks where it's like, this is a card, but it's not
12:37
real. You get hold it. It doesn't exist in real space, but
12:41
it's yours, right because we're telling you that it's yours and you tell us.
12:46
This is kind of the opposite. It's like everybody woke up and said,
12:48
you know what, Um, that's bullshit. Yeah, give me a
12:54
real give me a real card, give me a real deck, give me
12:56
something tangible to hold in my hands. So I have to say, I'm
13:01
I'm happy to see that that has come around. Oh, ty J says.
13:05
The original game was called the Star Trek Customizable Card Game made by decipher
13:09
and it was very popular. At one point. Can you hit that uh
13:13
that button for the sure Yeah, here you go, ty Ja warning warning,
13:18
NERD alert, NERD alert this game. What's that? Did you play
13:31
this card game? Would I play the card game? You know what?
13:39
I like to play cards. I like chips with my cards. There you
13:46
go, there you go. I can only count it. I can only
13:50
count to twenty one. Uh huh. If that that's fun, you're picking
13:54
up what I'm putting down. Yeah, so I don't know. I don't
14:01
know if i'd play this. Yeah, it's never these these kind of games
14:03
has never been really my thing. But yeah, my son likes Pokemon.
14:09
There's a thousand Pokemon cards in this house. So I get I get the
14:13
draw. Ty Jay's taking his he says, I take it with pride,
14:16
referring to his nerd alert. That's right. So your family, now,
14:22
that's right, that's how it works. You're one of us. You're one
14:26
of us. Yeah. No, I play Magic the Gathering. You can
14:28
see the decks behind me if you look on that. Yeah, so I
14:33
do play every now and then. So yeah, I mean I'll try it.
14:35
I'll try anything once. Yeah, there you go. There you go
14:39
say that a lot. Well, not anything, not everything I got,
14:43
you know, I will try most things once. Yeah. Yeah, we're
14:48
already being told some recommendations and places to go in Long Island. So yeah,
14:52
yeah. The ball messaged me and talked about a place called was it
14:56
eight Bit Diner or eight Bit Cafe something like that. Oh, is it
15:00
like an old style arcade or something. No, it's a it's like it
15:05
looks like a little restaurant but has like a like an eighties video game theme,
15:11
like there was pac Man stuff on the wall. Yeah, I love
15:13
it already. Yeah, like burgers and fries, that kind of place.
15:16
It looks good. You know what. I'll have to message him and find
15:20
out what exactly his plans are for the weekend, if you spending the whole
15:22
weekend out there, if he's just coming out on Saturday or something. But
15:28
you know, I'd like to spend some time with them and uh, maybe
15:31
go to some of these places with them. I think, yeah, I
15:33
have some ideas there and get the sandwich, the sandwich that he won't shut
15:37
up about, I know, yeah, the chop cheese. I looked online
15:43
like what they look like, and then like apparently you can make them at
15:46
home. They're pretty easy to make. Yeah. It's just yeah, well
15:50
we'll see you know. Yeah, but the experience, you know, right
15:54
right right? I think, yeah, hopefully we get the attitude at the
15:58
bodega that says, get there and take your sandwich with you. Ye,
16:03
that kind of the Yeah. I was talking to my nephews and niece about
16:08
you know, what kind of trinkets do they want back from New York?
16:11
And I'm convinced him that they want rats, So I'm gonna I'm gonna bring
16:17
them back some rats. Some rats. That's what I told them, were
16:22
a bunch of rats. I'll grab some they do. Yeah. Yeah,
16:26
man, when when uh, when it's garbage day and there's a pile of
16:32
bags on the sidewalks, sometimes you just you see them. Five of his
16:37
family are just having a piece of man. Yeah, man, yeah,
16:44
I don't know, dicky birds. And you can't make it at home.
16:48
The okay, we have McDonald's at home. Yeah, that's right, that's
16:52
right. I'll do say such things. Yeah that's funny. All right.
16:59
Well, why don't get into the Star Trek news or the sure topic.
17:03
So yeah, one of those, let's do one of them. Fun will
17:07
now come out, all right. So our main topic is we just saw
17:18
Star Trek Discovery season five, episode eight, Labyrinths. The official log line
17:25
is when Captain Burnham is trapped within a mind escape designed to test her worthiness
17:30
to receive the Progenitor's powerful technology. Book Rayner and the crew of the USS
17:36
Discovery must hold off the brain long enough for her to escape. So,
17:41
I mean that is pretty accurate description of what happened. Yeah, I missed
17:48
this one. Rats eating pigeons, well, as long as they get rid
17:55
of the Do you remember a few years ago? Do you remember a few
18:00
years ago the pizza rat? Yes, we were hearing about that or was
18:03
that? H yeah, I saw that? All right, so all right,
18:11
I didn't know. I didn't know if it was regional or yeah.
18:15
Yeah, yeah, no, I haven't been to New York City. Yeah,
18:21
I've been there before. I went there like ten years ago. Oh
18:23
you have Okay, Well it was nice to saw the Spider Man musical.
18:32
Yeah, I really did. I've heard Oh yeah, okay, it was
18:34
really bad. But yeah, alright, so uh so this episode, Yeah,
18:45
it's really funny to me that when Discovery first started, we did that
18:48
that audio thing where we talked about, you know, mysteries of the mind
18:52
and magic blood and that's all these guys do right down to the end man.
18:59
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So the first thing that jumped out at
19:03
me. Somebody posted a picture of the librarian last week. I'll just I'll
19:08
just call her that because I can't remember her name, and people were wondering
19:15
if this is a Klingon because she looks like a like a Klingon. She's
19:19
got the TMG style long crimpy hair. Mm hmm, are you there?
19:26
Am I losing you? I'm here? Oh oh, I think you're losing
19:32
me. Are you there? Yeah? I lost you for a minute,
19:34
but it looks like we're back all right. There she is. Yeah.
19:38
So she's got the long, crimpy tng klingon style hair, she's got forehead
19:45
ridges, she's got gray a gray pleather outfit with big shoulders. Yeah,
19:56
Chaz business wondering if she has time crystals. I don't. Oh, she
20:00
has time crystals. I also don't know if she's a lingon because they never
20:03
they never said, they never, they never say, And it's like,
20:07
come on, how can you design a character like this? You know that
20:12
people are going to wonder if that's what she is and never and never say
20:18
either way. I'm telling you, man, there's gonna be like a three
20:22
book arc that you can buy that's all about the adventures of the librarian,
20:26
and it's gonna have her whole backstory and this library's backstory and how it travels
20:32
everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, how your library is without honor my library?
20:40
Yeah, I don't know. So I was kind of I was mildly annoyed
20:45
by that. Yeah. I was also mildly annoyed that book had to wear
20:53
her her outfit in Michael's mind. Oh yeah, if Michael's if Michael is
21:02
projecting her ex boyfriend and women's clothing. I mean there's a lot unpacked there,
21:07
just a lot it's unpacked there, and I'm not the guy to do
21:11
it right, right. Yeah, I didn't put together that it was the
21:15
same outfit, but yeah, you're right. Book, it's book and address
21:22
with big shoulders. That's what it is, those big shoulders. I will
21:30
say, you know, as I suffer for the people and I watched the
21:32
Will Wheaton Show, I did think it was funny that they started the episode
21:37
with Will reading a giant book and he's saying something like Butterfly in the sky
21:45
or what was it, like, Beta's in the sky I can fly twice
21:49
as I Yeah, I was like, all right, all right, that's
21:52
pretty funny because they're reading the Beta said text, which, uh, that
21:57
was kind of cool, Like there's a secret text in the secret library.
22:03
Weird to me that nobody had made a copy of it, Like you couldn't
22:06
just download the text somewhere, you had to go, yeah, actually read
22:11
the book. Yeah, this doesn't make sense. I you know, I
22:15
can understand the idea of protecting these artifacts. M M. But you know
22:26
we have seed vaults, right, that's not the only seed of that kind,
22:33
right, that's the last one in case the others get destroyed. So
22:38
this, this should be the same situation. This should be the last copies
22:42
of all these things, this, this stuff, everything in that place should
22:47
be digitized and somewhere else it all. Yeah, go ahead, I was
22:52
just gonna say it. Also, excuse me. It also does not make
22:59
sense that an incredibly xenophobic species like the brain would participate in this multicultural library
23:11
thing and they would have their own one of a kind artifacts being held at
23:17
this library. It makes no sense, none, none, whatsoever. Yeah,
23:21
none whatsoever. I thought about that as well. That seemed very weird
23:25
to me. I mean it was just a throwaway line just to be able
23:27
to say why the brain were there, Yeah, which is a weird justification
23:32
when you think about it. The other thing that that kind of threw me
23:34
is if you heard that that that theory out there that the first Indiana Jones
23:41
movie with or without Indiana Jones doesn't matter because the Nazis would still grab the
23:45
arc, open it and still die whether or not India was there. Yeah,
23:51
so that's kind of the same thing with the brain in this technology.
23:55
Yeah. Yeah, they're not going to pass the test. They're not going
23:56
to pass the test. Yeah, yep. So the only the only well,
24:03
the only reason they got is because Michael got it first, gave it
24:06
up. Yeah, so that's okay. Yeah, and the other what's her
24:15
name mack lol lol? Yeah, no, lawless Data's daughter lock lock and
24:22
mall. Which which is which? Who's this lady? Here? May the
24:29
idea that she's somehow the head of the Breen Now what those sets like,
24:40
those sets it's like the Game of Thrones, and they're like, we want
24:42
her to be Sircy. I know, I know, but and I don't
24:47
never watch that show, so don't get the reference. But it doesn't matter.
24:48
It's it's again I go back to, this is an incredibly xenophobic species.
24:56
Mm hmm. She's a human. It doesn't matter who she was married
25:00
to. They're not going to accept her right as their leader. They're just
25:04
not right. But you know, she gave some you know, some some
25:11
rousing words and there we go, you know, the same kind of speech
25:15
you would give when it's time for the Mighty Ducks to go beat the bad
25:18
guys. I mean, that's kind of what it sounded like to me.
25:23
But ah, I know, I don't know. I feel like they've you
25:29
know, we've waited thirty five years to get some backstory on the Brain,
25:34
and they just kind of squandered it. It's like the thing that we talk
25:41
about, like it's almost there, like it almost could be good. And
25:45
I think, I think I said this last week that I wish they had
25:48
told this story or something similar to it in the twenty fifth century, with
25:53
characters that we we still care about. Yeah, you know, and I
25:57
got thinking about it a little further, and it would have been very easy
26:04
to tie the Brain into the Picard season three story arc, where it's this
26:17
faction of the of the Founders that's still pissed off about the Dominion War and
26:22
they hook up with the Brain, who's also still pissed about the Dominion War
26:26
because you know, they were carrying the weight. Towards the end, they
26:32
were carrying the Kardassians, they were carrying the Dominion and then because Odo cures
26:40
the Lady, we're gonna end this war. So I'm sure they're still pretty
26:45
sore about that in the twenty fifth century. So to have this other faction
26:51
of changelings hook up with them and Dominion War part two, I think that
27:00
would have been better than what we're seeing right here with this. And and
27:06
you could have the reveal of the of the you know, oh, they're
27:11
liquid people, kind of similar to the Founders, or or even oh it
27:18
just came to me now, but you know, they determined that that changelings
27:22
and brains can procreate. Right now, there's a third subspecies that has the
27:30
abilities of some and you know, the abilities of both some of the abilities
27:33
of both of them. And yeah, well I was thinking, like,
27:37
you know that that scene in last week's episode where they were at Starfleet and
27:42
then the brain showed up, I think you could have had because you know,
27:45
they've already established that there's multiple brain factions. You could have had like
27:51
a good faction there trying to negotiate peace with the Federation so that Wes the
27:56
Federation gets this technology, they want to be on their good side, and
27:59
then you know, this guy shows up and he's like, hey, you
28:02
know no, we're gonna come get that power and we're gonna take over.
28:06
So then that way you had, like why there would be good ones that
28:10
work with the library. Why you know, why this power could be a
28:15
benefit for everybody, not just the federation. Yeah, you would have that
28:19
established and it would make more sense. Yeah, you know, I don't
28:26
know why was this? So this lady, this is mal that's her name.
28:30
Yeah, Locke mall Okay, So Locke is the brain is the Prince
28:34
of Breen, who's dead, right, right? Right? So maybe I
28:40
missed something. But why was he if he's the Prince of Breen, why
28:45
was he working in the loading dock at his uncle's warehouse. That's a good
28:52
question. I don't get that. I don't understand that. Yeah. I
28:59
mean they alluded that his uncle didn't like him, but you would think that,
29:02
but you're the prince, but you're the Prince Supreme, right right,
29:06
Yeah, you would think his uncle would have just been like, here's money,
29:10
go to a casino planet and enjoy your life. Yes, yes,
29:12
Like he has his own suite at Quarks, right, like the main the
29:17
main Quarks on Riza, like the you know, the Blagio of of of
29:23
Quarks franchises, and he's just on the top floor. He was grounded.
29:29
I guess. I guess. Yeah, I don't know. I don't like
29:33
to show the thing is like it's like it's a decent first draft, but
29:40
they could, like just little tweaks would make it so much better, you
29:44
know. But there's so many like little things that are just dumb. Yeah,
29:48
and and a lot of them are them. And I'm pretty sure I
29:53
said this last week. They write themselves into a corner. So she's in
29:56
okay, So she's stuck in her own head, right, and she's got
30:02
to find her way out of this maze of her own creation right in her
30:07
head, right, Okay, So two things, two things I have.
30:12
While she's in this pretend mays in her head, she pulls up her tricorder.
30:19
Yeah, her holographic or or replicated tricard. You can't you can't map
30:27
a route for yourself with this tricorder. I mean, eight hundred years ago,
30:33
Picard and Crusher in a cave looking at their their old you know,
30:37
takee deck looking tricorder, talking about, oh there's a there's an intersection up
30:42
ahead, we need to take the one on the right. Yeah, Okay,
30:47
she's got this eight hundred year more advanced replicated tricorder and it's in her
30:53
head, so really it can do whatever she wants it to do. Right,
30:59
And at one point she does pull it up and there's like a partial
31:03
like I don't know if she was only mapping where she had been but not
31:07
where she's going. Yeah, and it just it made no sense. It
31:11
made no sense whatsoever. And then yeah, even just the basic mechanics of
31:18
how to navigate a maze, there are much easier ways to navigate a maze
31:23
than lugging a bucket of sand around with you right and leave and leaving a
31:29
trail on the floor. Yeah. The two, the two, the two
31:32
easiest methods that come to mind. Take your take one of your hands and
31:37
put it on the wall. And no matter what you do, if you
31:40
don't take your hand off that wall, you will find your way out.
31:42
That is one way. The other way is you decide left or right.
31:47
I'm only making left turns or I'm only making right turns, and you will
31:51
find your way out. So buckets of sand and yeah, I was wondering,
31:57
like, you know, she's got the thing on her wrist, that
32:00
the programmable banner that turns into anything. Why not turn like a little drone
32:06
that goes just maps the whole thing out for you, or or replicate a
32:12
set of stairs, yeah, or a ladder or christ their bookshelves climb to
32:21
the top of the bookshelf. Yeah, it just it just look around.
32:24
Yea, hey, there's there's the door. I think I'm gonna go that
32:28
way that or or I mean, you know this is not the real library.
32:35
You know, this is a figment of your imagination. Start tearing ship
32:38
up, start start turning shelves over. Also, officially, it is not
32:45
a labyrinth unless David Bowie's in it. Okay, So all right, yeah,
32:51
was he there? I don't. I mean, I wasn't pay attention.
32:53
I don't. I don't like this show, so I wasn't paid attention.
32:57
No, no, No, the eighties film Labyrinth has they I know,
33:00
I know, I know, I know being but he was not there.
33:01
Now, he was not there. Sorry, j That wasn't the time
33:07
she had to cry it past the tests exactly. Okay, that that part
33:13
of it, I will say I did enjoy because I do think it was
33:16
good that she had to kind of knock her own self down a bit.
33:20
Why why she does the thing she does? Right, She's just sitting there
33:23
by herself crying, and she goes, I'm an asshole. Yeah, everything,
33:27
everything's my fault because I'm an asshole. Yeah, but you know what,
33:30
that's not. That's not bad for character development to have that inward.
33:35
Look, you know, I guess, I guess. I mean it's a
33:38
few seasons too late because now we don't get to see the changes. But
33:44
it's it's not bad. I don't know. Yeah, that was my good
33:49
thing about it. At least I did enjoy that. I thought, oh,
33:52
yeah, I gotta I forgot, I gotta do one of those.
33:54
Yeah, I'm gonna need a few minutes keep talking. Okay, it's not
34:00
it's not that outfit on book can tell you that. That's not my good
34:05
thing. She's pretty hot. She's pretty hot though, all right. Yeah.
34:10
I like how every every shot in this thing looks like a like a
34:15
nineties album cover, Like what would this band? What would this band be
34:20
called? Oh god, they look like want to be I don't know,
34:25
like want to be guar or something with those outfits, I don't know,
34:31
chat room, what would this band be called? Right here? I think
34:38
the same he want some rubber ridges. I think he means you who's to
34:45
say, who's to say, Yeah, who doesn't like a sexual library?
34:49
And every now and then my wife's the libraryan oh there you go. That's
34:57
gotta be what it is. That's what it is. Yeah, that's right,
35:00
yeah, yeah, yeah, one thing that you know, like I
35:05
said, I suffer for the people. So this week on the movie Showy,
35:08
they interviewed David Ayella Booker and what was kind of neat was he talked
35:13
about how he was originally in the Royal Shakespeare Company in the early two thousands
35:20
and he was there with Patrick Stewart. Oh nice, And so he did
35:23
talk a lot with Patrick Stewart about Star Trek. But this is, you
35:28
know, way before Discovery, so like they were just they were just talking
35:30
about it, and so apparently Patrick let him know like, yeah, I'd
35:35
love to be in Star Trek. It was so much fun and like shared
35:38
a lot of stories because they were, you know, working together for such
35:42
a long time. So apparently when he got the Cleveland Booker role, they
35:45
met up by just by happenstance at the San Diego Comet Con before it was
35:52
and he let Patrick know like, oh, I'm gonna be in Star Trek
35:53
now, and I guess Patrick was really happy for him, so oh nice.
35:58
Yeah, so that's kind of a cool story. Yeah, no,
36:00
that is cool. Yeah, do you have your uh your good thing?
36:05
Now? Is it the guns? Did you like the guns? Those are
36:08
pretty cool? Yeah, I guess, I don't know. I don't know.
36:17
By the end of the show, I'll have something, Okay, all
36:21
right, I'll have some. So we got two more episodes left, and
36:27
uh, the way the schedules laying out, you and I will get to
36:29
see the final episode together. So that's kind of cool. Okay, yeah
36:32
cool, yeah, yeah, but uh, next week, I don't know
36:39
the name of the episode. There was a little bit of a clip on
36:43
The Will Wheaton Show, but the clip really didn't show much. It was
36:45
like they were under attack and they had to run somewhere. So pretty standard
36:52
for most stars. Yeah. Yeah, there's booker with a book. That's
36:59
that's neat books. Book books book. Yeah. So where did it?
37:08
Where did it end? They have all the clues or they have all the
37:13
clues and they have the location. They copied the clues and then gave the
37:19
clue to the brain too too. Uh right? What happened at the end
37:25
the threatening them with something and they gave up the Oh, they were going
37:29
to destroy the library, right right, and and so Michael gave them all
37:34
the clues. But Michael was told by by spirit Book that there's something you
37:39
have to know about the tech. I don't know if that's how to how
37:45
to unlock it or where it's at or whatever. Right m hm. She
37:52
was given some special piece of information that the brain do not have, So
37:58
it doesn't really matter that they have the clues, at least that's how I
38:05
interpreted that. All right, Yeah, okay, you sound so excited.
38:16
I'm just I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. I'm just not. Well,
38:22
should we get the listener feedback or well before we do that, I
38:29
am I am genuinely curious to find out what Saru has been doing. I
38:36
would like to see him again. As much as I don't like this show,
38:38
I'm I'm I've been pretty consistent over the last five or six years that
38:43
I like him as a character, and I and I and I wish that
38:49
I wish he was in a different show. That's I guess that's what I
38:52
wish for. Yeah, I wish he was on a different show. I
38:57
like him, I like his character, I like the actor. I like
39:00
the backstory for his his people that they were prey but they weren't really pray.
39:06
I like all of that. Yeah, I don't like it in this
39:07
in this show right so, but I'm but I'm curious to see him again,
39:13
to find out what he's been up to, what he's been working on,
39:15
what's going on in the future. Are we getting a wedding? Is
39:19
there going to be a very on a very special Star Trek Discovery, Star
39:23
Trek Discovery the two hour wedding episode? Are we getting that? I don't
39:28
know. Are we cannot wait with his suit and just run around with handguns?
39:35
Yeah? Action Saru. I cannot wait. I want to see Saru
39:44
say yes to the dress episode. We better get our Saru bachelor party.
39:51
I want to see what that's like. Yes, yes, yeah, Well
39:59
I want to see what what's up with him? I want to see what
40:07
are their names? Detmer and WoT. I want to see what they've been
40:12
up to. Did they get the Enterprise back to space Dock? Are they
40:15
Are they coming to the rescue in the Enterprise. I know it's it's kind
40:19
of cliche, but you know, we set it up. Let's you know,
40:22
let's knock him down. Literally. The Enterprise has saved Discovery before,
40:28
so why not. Yeah, yeah, So all right, well let's get
40:36
to listener feedback. We've got uh sure, so sure listener feedback. All
40:47
right, so we do have some listener feedback. Got chasm is waiting on
40:51
the line. But first, real quick, we got a voicemail. We
40:53
haven't had one in a while, so let's let's play our voicemail. Okay,
41:00
Hey guys, my name is rod T and calling from Surprise, Arizona,
41:05
and I just wanted to thank you for your show. I appreciate the
41:09
critical thinking and love what you guys are doing like yourselves. I think the
41:16
writing on Star Trek Discovery is very poor and it is it's not Star Trek,
41:23
it's I think it's Star Trek in name only, and so I agree
41:28
with a lot of your analysis. On your last show, you asked if
41:31
there were any instances where Star Trek set phasers to a wide beam, and
41:37
I found three in the original series return of the Arc on season one episode
41:44
twenty one, d Space nine, the Way of the War, your season
41:47
four episode one, and a Voyager season one episode thirteen to Texus, and
41:54
in each of these, we see them using a wide beam on a hand
41:59
phaser or a phaser rifle. So yeah, Discovery could have used this in
42:04
their episode from last week. Anyway, keep up the good works. The
42:07
guys are doing an awesome job and I love your show. Take care,
42:12
go bye. So yeah, that was a rob t joining us from Arizona.
42:21
I did try to make him a cactus seeing that he was in Arizona,
42:25
but the only graphic I could find was a taco, So he was
42:30
a taco. Looks like Dan, Oh there is, there's Dan. Yeah,
42:37
but yeah, I was losing to you guys, so I took a
42:40
minute to reset, so I missed sure most of his most of his comments.
42:47
He's not a fan of Star Trek Discovery, so that's right, that's
42:51
right, and everyone's right. He deserves a NERD alert, so here we
42:53
go, warning warning, NERD alert, NERD alert. He he gave us
43:00
three examples from Star Trek where the wide beam just for a stune, ah
43:14
you know, yeah, yeah, all right, cool, Yeah, thanks
43:19
for calling man, appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely. And then also another
43:23
caller we got, We got Jazz Bis there is you had an actual real
43:29
caller here, Hey, listen, jas Bis, I hope you don't mind,
43:35
but Scott's not here this week, so we're kind of just feeling around
43:38
finding our way, so please just just bear with us. We're lost and
43:44
scared of trying to hold things together, but you know, we're Yeah,
43:47
we're just feeling our way around. What was funny is when when Scott left,
43:52
he said, we asked him who's in charge, and he said,
43:55
you guys figure it out, So I just put the coin over here.
44:02
So he's so he's just like Starfleet in the thirty seconds ent, exactly exactly,
44:09
this takes place. Whatever, ye whatever, I'm gonna go ride my
44:15
motorcycle this weekend. That's all. Yeah, that's all that matters. So
44:21
would you think would would you think? Well, okay, I do believe
44:27
somebody watched Labyrinth, and I do believe somebody watched Harry Potter and the Goblet
44:31
of Fire this season because there's all the clues and you know, Willy Wonka
44:36
and everything. So it's just I don't know. This series is just jumbled
44:43
up right now. All the clues almost came too easy for him, like
44:46
each clothes, because they figured it out so easily, like there was no
44:51
really challenge for him, right, Like when they found one clue and I
44:57
don't know, it was like this thing was supposed to be hid in all
45:00
these years. How did they find these clues so quick and new each planet
45:04
so easily? So well, because you know, they knew to look for
45:07
it. The Goblin King told him what was up? Yes, yes,
45:08
yes, and they mentioned you know, and that was on a labyrinth.
45:15
I was like, oh, yeah, I watched that movie because I had
45:19
no idea what the hell that thing was how to google it? So mm
45:22
hmmm. So what it's called a Yeah, yeah, it's like a dungeon,
45:29
but it's it's like they threw you in there and it's kind of like
45:32
a dark corridors and everything, and then I just leave you there. Okay,
45:38
So that's why she was saying like, we don't have dungeons here,
45:42
but we have yet so mm hm oh I missed that, yeah, and
45:46
then she made the bad jokes. Must I must have been playing angry Birds
45:51
I had, you see, That's what happened to me. Like I was
45:54
scrolling on Facebook and then I had to replay it last night, and basically
45:59
what I did I fast forward the parts that I wasn't paying attention to That
46:05
kind of helps, you know, if you're paying attention to a part,
46:07
you know you don't have to watch that again. You just fast forward to
46:09
the other parts. Yeah, kind of dozed off on so and the sad
46:15
thing on the very end, on the clue where she figures it out.
46:19
For some reason, I played on my phone again. So that's how bad
46:24
it was. I was like, oh, you trek a national treasure so
46:29
far? No, yeah, yes, this is definitely a national treasure here.
46:37
Oh yeah, and and uh, the band name should be psychobabble because
46:42
they mentioned psychobabble today, so I was like, that's a new term.
46:46
I always heard technobabble, but now psychobabble, and I think that's perfect for
46:52
this show. I feel like, yeah, I know the name of the
46:58
band. What's the name of the band? The Navy untitled Michael Burnham Project?
47:07
Nice? Nice? And then that works? Yeah, I just want
47:14
to know how, Like, all right, I think the lieutenant is lock
47:19
because every time she was talking, that lieutenant would like kind of nod his
47:23
head and look over at her, like if you rewatch it. The lieutenant
47:31
lieutenant, I don't know, he's got a helmet on, So we don't
47:35
know who the hell the guy is. But yeah, that's my guess because
47:38
I have a feeling that he's alive or something. There's something up. I
47:44
mean, he's made a gas. No, I think the whole reason she
47:45
needs to find the progenitor Texest so that she can resurrect him. So because
47:52
that's why, that's why she wants it at this point. Okay, so
47:54
you got space uses versus space No, No, you're the I'm wondering if
48:02
if she makes it to the end of the season, if she doesn't want
48:07
to sacrifice, Yeah, like if she needs to sacrifice herself for Locke to
48:12
come back, Okay, and it feels like that, Yeah, and somehow
48:20
that bring unite together and they yeah, everybody, the whole universe unites and
48:24
they're all in peace. Well, it would give them, miss give them,
48:30
I miss that. So what was I was saying? Yeah, I
48:32
was saying, if there's gonna be a way that somehow or another Maul has
48:38
to sacrifice herself to bring back Locke, it would be very Romeo and Juliet
48:44
of them, right, Yeah, So I could see something like that happening
48:52
mmhm, and then unite everybody. Oh, oh, real quick, captain
48:57
on the bridge there is, Scott says hello, right right, yeah,
49:08
right right, staying at attention. He's Scott, uh, well we got
49:15
you. What size hat do you wear? Buddy? Oh it's making size
49:22
too big. He's gonna yeah, he didn't he doesn't know. He didn't
49:30
listen to the beginning of the show, so he doesn't know. Ye know
49:32
what we're talking about. But anyway, he's word task business taking his spot
49:40
and now he's saying bye bye bye or b there must be a Michigan thing.
49:50
Probably they're close to Canada, so he's got almost got that accent.
49:58
I do love that he asked about like some sort of convention that's going on
50:00
over there, and he's like, I won't be there, but who's going.
50:07
That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna tune in next week find
50:13
out Scott's got a publicist. Now yeah, yeah, we can't. We
50:15
can't message him directly. We gotta go no, no, no, we
50:17
have to talk to his people. That's awesome. Yeah, it's gonna be
50:22
like Bill Murray and have his own number. It's on one night hundred number
50:25
and that's the only way you can contact him. Yeah. Absolutely, Maybe
50:32
I'll get into contact with you. Maybe not. Yeah, yeah, you
50:37
might not have a third You're gonna be in the basement with Chad. He's
50:39
like, no beat in the base of the Chad. I love it.
50:45
Yeah, yeah, don't worry. He's he's leaped up pretty good. He's
50:51
whoa, whoa, whoa on the skin. So he's no, no,
50:57
no, Early, I need to hear all this. Ye oh man,
51:07
So Chaspins, where do you think we're going? Man? We got we
51:09
got two more episodes of this. That's what's gonna like, how's this going
51:14
to end? Like? Because you got badly? Yeah? I know.
51:19
Okay, Well I'm thinking last year, Okay, we had Picard, we
51:22
had two episodes left and we were excited. Yeah, and I got to
51:25
you Scott would have brought a laptop or something that this was Picard last year
51:30
to discuss this episode, because like the last three episodes of the Card were
51:37
like amazing last year. Yeah, and this is the season, you know,
51:42
series finale, So this should be really huge, This should add up
51:45
to something. Yeah, it won't, but I promise you there's not going
51:52
to be a real device. It's going to be friendship is the magic that
51:54
can the universe. Well, you saw this episode. It was kind of
51:59
like a bottle episode in a way. They'll past three have been that way.
52:04
Yeah, because if you noticed, it was all blue screen. You
52:07
just duplicated a bunch of brain because you don't have to do much makeup because
52:10
most of those guys are all computer generated. There was copy and paste,
52:16
like y'all look the same. Yeah. The library was easy to do.
52:22
You just had to do a couple of corridors to go to the library.
52:25
Yeah, and then to make up on the librarian. And that's about it.
52:31
Do you do you think that we will get uh? You know like
52:36
Voyager had all those library promos where like the cast was in a library and
52:39
talking about books. Do you remember this? No? No, Yeah,
52:44
so they wanted you to read back in the nineties. I guess yes they
52:49
did. Okay, yes, see I don't remember that. I don't remember
52:52
that at all. No, I have an Oklahoma We don't read. So
52:58
yeah, yeah, they're there. We just care about football and that's it.
53:05
So you know, you know, into fancy book learning. There we
53:09
go. That's what I'm talking about. Like right there, like there's there
53:13
were it's like a promotional thing they did to help get people into libraries and
53:16
read more. I've never seen this. Yeah, they didn't have with them,
53:22
what the hell? No? No, no, he directed half of
53:24
those episodes. Yea LeVar should have been in there, like future with the
53:30
gray hair and everything. Yeah. No, But I guess what I'm asking
53:34
is, like, do we think Discovery Crew is going to do something like
53:36
that modernize these promos? No? No, well I don't know. I
53:42
mean, I guess so broke right now they can even do promotions. So
53:49
so, back in the nineties, Voyager was the type of show that a
53:52
family could sit down and watch it together. So to have a positive message
53:57
for children about going to the library made sense, right. No one under
54:01
eighteen knows who these characters are, true, true? Yeah, yeah,
54:07
So some random says I should go to the library. He's married to the
54:15
librarian the library a couple of times. Oh I've been No, No,
54:19
I'm saying I've been in the library plenty of times. I'm saying that.
54:22
If I turn to my eleven year old son and says and told him that,
54:25
you know, Cleveland Booker thinks you should go to the library and check
54:30
out a book. Hey, I drive by the library often there you go
54:37
SAYE, he doesn't you know. He doesn't know who Cleveland Booker is.
54:40
He doesn't know who Michael Burnham is. He doesn't know who any of these
54:44
characters are. So them promoting the library is it's not gonna help. So
54:51
how old were you when you watched Star Trek when you first watched it?
54:57
So I was always aware of Star Trek because the original series was something that
55:01
was just on TV from time to time, and I would see it.
55:06
I remember seeing the Wrath of Khan and search for Spock in the theater with
55:15
my parents and my aunt, and I remember thinking that these are not Star
55:21
Wars and they're boring. And then I was ten years old when TG came
55:27
out, and I remember watching the first episode and thinking this is kind of
55:31
long and boring. And then I was probably around thirteen or fourteen years old
55:39
when I started catching reruns of TS at like eleven thirty at night on WPIX.
55:50
WPIX, which was so New York City based syndicated station which later became
55:58
the wb affiliate for New York City, so they would show reruns of TOS.
56:04
And then I started watching TNG in regular like run probably around the third
56:15
or fourth season, and that's when it just it all came together for me
56:21
and I just started consuming everything at that point. Yeah, it was about
56:27
probably nine, eight or nine when I actually watched him Paul Knows wpi X
56:32
Channel eleven and see in Oklahoma. When they premiered Next Gen. It came
56:38
on at ten thirty pm on Sunday. Oh wow, Yeah, which is
56:43
horrible. Yeah, because if you're a kid, you know, you're getting
56:47
ready for school and you could watch, like you had to stay up super
56:52
late just to watch Next Gen. And so it was really hard for me.
56:57
Yeah, I didn't get into it until like I was like nineteen or
57:00
twenty, and that was because a friend of mine, his uncle, was
57:05
a writer on TG and so I wanted, Yeah, I wanted to learn
57:08
about screenwriting, and so to teach me, he would assigned me episodes to
57:13
watch and to kind of like analyze the characters and break them down. I
57:16
do remember I went to the youth group that I was a part of.
57:22
One of like the youth leaders was really into Star Trek and when when DS
57:29
nine ended, he had a big party to invite everyone over to watch the
57:31
finale, and so I went not caring about the show because he had a
57:37
pool table and me and my friends were playing pool the entire Yeah, So
57:45
what was interesting is wpi X used to show TG. They would show it
57:51
twice a week, so it would be eight pm on Sunday in New York.
57:55
It was eight pm on Sundays for TG. No Paul, I think
58:00
it was eight pm on Saturdays, and then they re showed the same episode
58:07
on Sunday night at like eleven, And then when TG and Deep Space nine
58:14
were on the air at the same time, it was TG at seven on
58:17
Saturday, deep Space nine at eight on Saturday, and they reshowed both of
58:23
them Sunday night at eleven and midnight. And then when TG went off the
58:30
air, I think Deep Space nine was on at seven and whatever Roddenberry project
58:37
they picked up out of the trash can and recycled Earth Final Conflict or you
58:43
know whatever, that was on right after and when they re showed them.
58:49
When they reshowed Deep Space nine on Sunday, they would also have an old
58:53
episode of TNG that they would reshow. So I was watching those first two
59:00
seasons of TNG for the first times. As I was watching the later seasons
59:06
of Deep Space nine at the same time, so I was all jumbled.
59:09
I was all jumbled up. Oh well, but yeah, that's how my
59:15
you know, that's how I had to watch it is everything was all jumbled,
59:17
nothing was in order, and like I'll watch the seventh season of TG
59:24
in some of these episodes I don't recognize because I missed some of them.
59:29
Yeah, like I'll watch them, but I don't remember them at all,
59:32
like growing up, and there's always the ones like when I was younger I
59:36
can remember easily, but the ones later on I don't. So I used
59:40
to tape all the episodes on VHS so that I could rewatch them. And
59:46
because I would tape them on Sunday nights, I would start the tape and
59:52
I would get an episode, a current episode of Deep Space nine and an
59:57
old episode of TNG would be on these tapes together. So I remember having
1:00:01
like this spreadsheet. Yes if I wanted to, if I wanted to go
1:00:07
back and rewatch, yeah, you know, I'd have to put this tape
1:00:09
in and then when I'm done, don't rewind it, leave it right there.
1:00:14
Because a couple in a couple of months, when I'm doing my Deep
1:00:16
Space nine rewatch, it'll be right there, and said, well, I
1:00:20
don't want to get past this. Dan, you had a spreadsheet about watching
1:00:24
Star Trek. Go ahead, nerd alert, nerd alert. Yeah, I
1:00:34
mean that that is the most fitting thing at that point. Yeah. So
1:00:37
what was even more nerdy is at one point I got a I got a
1:00:40
friend at work into Star Trek and he wanted to watch some of the older
1:00:46
episodes and catch up. And I said, yeah, I've got I've got
1:00:51
the spreadsheet here. So I brought in a you know, this is how
1:00:55
you watch it. It's like, yeah, it's like a murder thing.
1:00:59
Yes, yes, So I brought in this box of tapes for him and
1:01:02
I said, each tape has a number, and if you go and I
1:01:07
say spreadsheet, it was It was a multi page sheet of paper. It
1:01:10
was yes, yes, yes. So I said, okay, so if
1:01:15
you look at it like this, this is the episode you want to watch,
1:01:19
This is the tape number. You find the tape number, and then
1:01:21
you got to look the label and see, no, it's not the first
1:01:22
one, it's the second one. So fast forward about halfway through the tape
1:01:27
and then you'll find it. Yeah that's aw. Yeah, those are gone.
1:01:31
I have it all on DVD now. Yeah, the Days of my
1:01:36
Star Trek Manifesto is gone. Yeah, what a tragedy. Tragedy. Yeah,
1:01:44
and you know, looking looking back on it, looking back on it,
1:01:46
I kind of wish I still had those tapes. I bet, because
1:01:52
I you know, I didn't edit out the commercials. I just set the
1:01:55
tape. And I would love to watch some of those commercials. Yes,
1:02:00
yeah, Now that's the fun part watching like just oh man, they have
1:02:04
those they have those YouTube like just yeah, what do they call them?
1:02:10
Collections? Just a ton of old commercials playing back back back. Yeah.
1:02:15
Yeah, people go nuts with that stuff. Man, it's you know,
1:02:17
it's crazy. I listened to there was a YouTube video. It was audio,
1:02:22
but it was a YouTube video, but it was it was like an
1:02:27
hour. I didn't listen to the whole hour, but it was an hour
1:02:30
of in store commercials from Kmart from like nineteen ninety one. Oh wow,
1:02:38
oh wow. I used to watch the old McDonald's ones, like growing up,
1:02:45
like the Ronald McDonald and yeah, all those like if you go on
1:02:49
YouTube, you can watch all those and they're actually pretty entertaining. Sometimes there's
1:02:52
this one I watched last Week with Jason Alexander, who Yeah, George Stanza
1:03:00
on Seinfeld. But he was not just any Hamburger. I think it was
1:03:02
the Mick d l t Yes that he was that he was one another side's
1:03:07
cool. Yeah, yep. He was putting and dancing like it was like
1:03:10
it was Broadway. But he was saying about a Yeah, that's what they
1:03:16
got in trouble for because everything was in styrofoam back then. But he had
1:03:21
a he had a full head of hair, and it's like, you know
1:03:22
what he's he's not a bad looking dude. It might have been it might
1:03:28
have been a two pay I don't know. It was seven eighty seven.
1:03:32
It could have been his hair. I don't know. I'm not judging.
1:03:37
That's what I was like. When you watch a TV show and you see
1:03:40
the hairline on their first on the first season, and all of a sudden,
1:03:43
the hairline gets thicker. Yeah, they did something there got on the
1:03:49
Office. If you ever watch Well, that's that's the opposite. The first
1:03:52
season they tried to make him look balding and then they abandoned that idea.
1:03:57
Yeah, so it's yeah, it's just regular. It's his regular hair of
1:04:00
season two going forward, because if you watch Kevin James and King of Queens,
1:04:04
like it's thinner and then it gets your first mistake was if you watch
1:04:10
Kevin James, no, I don't killed guy killed off his own wife on
1:04:16
his Uh. I forgot about that one. I didn't watch that one.
1:04:24
I tried to and it was so bad. I was like, no,
1:04:28
I heard it was pretty bad. Yeah. Well, the modern sitcoms,
1:04:32
they just it's like seven years of Young Sheldon and like that was seven years
1:04:36
or seven That show has been on seven years. Yeah. And the crazier
1:04:42
thing is The Connors is on its seventh season after they fired Roseanne. So
1:04:47
the Connors have almost been on longer than the first series of Roseanne. Wow,
1:04:55
that's just crying. Yeah, huh well, wow, there's as many
1:05:00
episodes of The Connors and Roseanne. Yeah. I never got into the Connors
1:05:09
and never really got into Roseanne, but I love that. That was kind
1:05:14
of yeah, my Jenery. I don't know. I just watch that and
1:05:18
I was like, yeah, that's kind of how my household runs. How
1:05:24
about uh, how about the Wonder Years? Did you guys watch that one?
1:05:28
Oh many? The original or the updated one? The originally? I
1:05:31
never saw the updated one. Yeah, neither did I. Yeah, I
1:05:35
watched the original for sure. We watched it as a family. Yeah,
1:05:39
that final so that that's got punch, So so yeah, no, it
1:05:44
does. What's funny though, is so that came out in the late eighties
1:05:48
and it's set it's set in the late nineteen sixties in the beginning, so
1:05:54
it was twenty years before, right, So if they were to do that
1:05:57
show right now, it would be set in two thousand and four. Does
1:06:00
that make you feel old? Because it makes me feel old. It makes
1:06:04
me feel so old. Yeah, that'd be two thousand. I watched a
1:06:11
reel this morning and it was this guy buying a copy of Grand Theft Auto
1:06:15
Vice City, and the guy at GameStop was referring to it as retro gaming.
1:06:20
This is not retro gaming. He's like, no, this is this
1:06:23
is retrogaming. This game is almost almost twenty years old. Yeah. And
1:06:28
then and then he said, uh, he said, the game came out
1:06:32
in whatever, two thousand and two. Yeah, but it's it's the game
1:06:38
is set in nineteen eighty six. Oh wow, So more time has passed
1:06:43
from when the game came out to now than had passed from nineteen eighty six
1:06:46
to when the game came out. Yeah, it's like last year. I
1:06:49
watched back to the future and I'm sitting there and thinking, it's like,
1:06:54
holy crap, there's more time that has passed since this is maybe yeah,
1:06:58
the actual time period. And then of course after I see that, maybe
1:07:02
this guy is like, hey, I got a DeLorean. You want to
1:07:04
check it out outside? And he had a DeLorean with the flex capacitor and
1:07:11
everything in there. Nice we have. We said, this was like,
1:07:15
what would you use now instead of a Dolorean cyber truck? Truck is probably
1:07:20
the only thing that you could use. I would say, PT Cruiser.
1:07:26
Dude, you ever driven PT Cruiser? I drove the cruisers several times because
1:07:31
my died and he gave us his PT Cruiser and that was that was so
1:07:36
bad. It was so bad you gave it back. Yeah, it was
1:07:41
so bad. I had one. They were they were a staple of uh,
1:07:45
they were a staple of of rental car companies back in the early two
1:07:50
thousands. So I drove. I drove a few of them. Yeah,
1:07:56
and they had no power, Like you hit it, that thing would not
1:08:01
move. So we dozer. It's not not a good car, so no,
1:08:08
no, uh you know will Chasmis this this worked out? Uh?
1:08:12
