Uh yeah, yeah, he's at the back seat there you go.
2:40
The only Simon I know is that game with the four lights on it and
2:44
all right, all right, okay, so let me show you. I
2:47
want to show you my shirt. Okay. Nice. It's just a silhouette
2:54
of Captain Kirk and company and it says, chicks take the uniform. Now
2:59
there's a story behind this. So about seven years ago I went to Western
3:07
Michigan University's auditorium and a Miller Auditorium and uh, the MythBusters were doing a
3:15
farewell tour there. Okay. So it was Adam Savage and Jamie Hydeman MythBusters
3:22
and they they were on stage and you know, they're going over like telling
3:27
stories about the past, and they they're brought out a couple of props from
3:30
old shows and they brought out their a brand new one of those slow motion
3:36
cameras, and they're like, oh, we're gonna need a volunteer from the
3:39
audience, and and Jamie goes over and pick somebody, and Adam's sort of
3:43
like looking around. And I thought to myself in that moment, what's the
3:47
best way I can get Adam Savage's attention, so he'll pick me? And
3:52
so I figured maybe I'll just call out his name, and I just said
3:55
Adam, and immediately his eyes guarded straight towards me, and he's like,
4:00
you come up stage. So I got on stage and I shook both their
4:03
hands, and me and another guy, uh stood in front of this camera
4:09
and just this is kind of a visual so for those listening, but we
4:14
just went like this and just made this little puff with our mouths and they
4:19
showed it in super high slow motion and it looked weird and crazy, and
4:27
but yeah, I got to meet the MythBusters. And when I got on
4:30
stage, this is the part where the shirt comes in. Adam Savage shakes
4:34
my hand, looks at me, looks at my shirt and goes, hey,
4:38
I really like that shirt, man. So that's that's my Adam Savage
4:43
story. Nice did you take the shirt off and give it to him?
4:48
How did you? Well? Yeah, then he signed my chest and he
4:51
gave me the shirt. Yeah, that's exactly that's how it works. I'm
4:57
sorry it wasn't more exciting. I'm sorry there wasn't more of a you know,
5:01
and then we got a fight on stage us fight fight music start playing.
5:15
Oh my god, oh my god. Three way nerd alert do it
5:20

5:28

5:40
My mom's listening. Hi, Bob, hello, all the things we've
5:46

5:51
ask her. Oh, anyways, how are you, Daniel. I'm good,
5:58

Probably absolutely, Yeah, but Dan, are you you doing all right?
6:36
I'm sick again. I could probably hear it my voice a little bit.
6:42
Yeah, I don't know. I mean I had that cold that lasted
6:44
forever and then I was pretty much over it. And last weekend I did
6:47
some yard work and I don't know if I kicked up a bunch of pollen
6:50
or a bunch of mold or whatever, but yeah, it's Oh. I've
6:56
been a raspy mess all week. I feel a lot better than I did.
7:00
But I sound like crap. I know that. So sorry everyone,
7:06
Typhoid Dan, that's me TiO D. Yeah, allergies. I got hit
7:13
Friday with allergies. I went to my son's track me and I rode my
7:17
motorcycle and as soon as I got there, like my eyes just started watering
7:23
and I started sneezing. And I'm glad I had sunglasses on because I went
7:27
to the bathroom and I took my sunglasses off and it looked like I was
7:30
it's funny. The funny part is it was at my old high school and
7:33
it looked like me after like my girlfriend broke up with me in high school.
7:38
I've just my I was all puppy and I looked a mess. I'm
7:43
like, yeah, I'm keep my sunglasses on. So you know, you
7:45
know, it doesn't help when you when you lean over in your wife's car.
7:48
Do you see that the kids put this in the uh in the cup
7:54
holder? Nice? Okay, so what do you what do you guys call
7:58
that your side? You're part of the as this is a danda line,
8:01
okay, so you know, as someone afflicted right now, I want to
8:09
throw this out the window. As a dad, I'm like, no way,
8:11
man. If I throw this out the window, that's fifty two more
8:15
dandelions that I got pull next week. So nope, it'll stay right there.
8:22
Yeah, you know what I did one year, So a few years
8:24
ago, the dandallions were so bad. I looked out in the front yard
8:28
and there were those, you know, the puffy ones all over the place.
8:31
I grabbed an extension cord and the shot back and I went around the
8:35
yard and I sucked up every one of those seats yes, my wife says
8:41
that, don't let me fool you. I was crying, not allergies.
8:45
Yeah, well I was not crying. Klingon stone have tear ducks. He
8:50
wasn't crying, right, that's right, that's right. Well, hey,
8:54
Dan, when we go to the convention later next month, the trick Long
8:58
Island, Yeah, they need to get you a face mask and like a
9:01
gallon of a hand sanitizer to make sure we still have it left over from
9:11
uh, from from COVID. I don't know if you remember, but yeah,
9:15
yeah, our governor at the time had the state manufacturer hand sanitizer and
9:22
slapped the label on all of it that said New York State Clean. So
9:26
it's still all over the place. You walk around the state and you just
9:28
see bottles of this ship everywhere. Do you remember what they were selling that
9:33
it was never originally designed for. Like it was coming in like soap containers
9:37
and like anything they could put it in on top, and so what was
9:45
happening What was happening in New York State? It was being bottled by the
9:50
Department of Corrections. They were having they were having inmates bottle this stuff and
9:56
maybe it would be a gallon it would be a gallon jug. It looked
9:58
like, uh, you know the gallon jug of washer fluid that you buy
10:01
at the at the gas, except that at a pump top on the top,
10:07
okay, And you would touch this thing and it would shoot the stuff
10:09
across the room. And the reason, well, the reason for that was
10:16
it's the Department of Corrections. These these these pumps were meant for ketchup,
10:22
so it was meant for something thick. So the suction ratio in this this
10:28
tube was such that it could suck ketchup through a straw this long. You
10:35
then put something with the consistency of water in there, and it was literally
10:39
shooting it across the room. I bought a gallon for a for a party
10:48
that we had, and like three squirts were used and that's it. We
10:52
still have the gallon. I don't know what to do with it. I
10:54
don't know if I could burn it, throw it away. It's alcohol.
11:00
It's when you have the backyard fire pit. You need to get it started
11:03
quick. Just there on there, I'll go right, yeah, nice talking
11:11
about what are we talking about here? Yeah, let's get to the news
11:16
Star trek news. It reminds me of old Trek cast when it was like
11:22
all COVID talk all the time. Right, Yeah, So our first news
11:26
story comes to us from trekmovie dot com and riker Jonathan Fraakes himself is weighing
11:31
in on streaming Star Trek movies. Apparently he is very high on this.
11:39
He loves the idea of making more direct to streaming Star Trek films. He
11:45
says things are going great with the Section thirty one film. He also mentioned
11:48
that this could be a possibility for lower decks going forward, maybe Section thirty
11:54
a two hour film, perhaps for streaming. He also thinks that's a possibility
12:00
for Star Trek Legacy, maybe to get a series of films instead of a
12:05
whole season. So I don't know, what do you guys think, would
12:09
you rather two hour chunks here and there? You know, this reminds me
12:13
of probably circa maybe two thousand and two, two thousand and three, they
12:22
talked about this, you know, back then they were called made for TV
12:26
movies, right, And I can remember post TNG, post Deep Space nine,
12:33
post Voyager, probably even post Enterprise, but maybe while Enterprise was still
12:39
on the air, they that was one of the ideas that was being kicked
12:41
around. We should do some some made for TV movies or some mini series.
12:46
The casts of those three twenty fourth century era shows are young enough that
12:50
we could have some some overlap with characters and like everybody was excited about it,
12:56
never happened, Never happens, So let's do it's one five years later.
13:03
If there's no new ideas, Yeah no, there isn't. There's no
13:07
new ideas. They just go to the bin, go dust this off,
13:11
or do that thing that Scott did, and they did exactly exactly. Yeah,
13:16
like, let's try this one. Well, of all the people that
13:20
could say they're going to and make it happen, I would, you know,
13:26
trust the power of freaks, you know, I mean, if they
13:30
could just get him and carry Terry Metallist room Chestpis disagrees, Nope, will
13:35
die yeap, Oh yeah, I more than likely will. Yeah. I
13:41
mean this will be like you know, the the fifteen different Star Trek fours
13:45
we're supposed to get, and the god knows how many other things they announced
13:48
and and never happened. So sure, yeah, all right, Our next
13:54
new story comes to us from screen Rant, and we are finding out a
13:58
little bit more why we have not seen Orca in Star Trek Discovery season five.
14:03
There was an interview done recently with Snekwa Martin Green where she talked about
14:07
this. She was talking to Trek Movie about it, and they asked her
14:11
like, hey, you know, you had an opportunity when you went into
14:15
that pocket dimension to bring Lorca in, or you could have found any reason
14:20
to bring him in. Why not, you know, because we never had
14:22
prime Lorca And she said, well, at the time we were filming,
14:26
we did not think that this was going to be our last season, So
14:31
they weren't thinking that way to pull out all the stops. Really. Yeah,
14:35
so when they because remember they filmed this season quite a while ago and
14:39
then it's been in the back, you know, being worked on quite a
14:41
bit. So originally when they were filming season five, they just thought they
14:46
were doing a grand another season. Does that we're going to get a cliffhanger?
14:52
I hope. No, No, we're not great cliffhanger, but we're
14:56
going to get We're going to get is is a crappy finale? Well,
15:01
we're gonna get together. We're gonna get a thrown together enterprise season four mm
15:07
hmm finale, Yeah, episode which will be less upsetting, because you know,
15:13
I actually liked that show me too. Yeah, so I thought that
15:20
was an interesting omission, you know. And admission sorry about saying that they
15:26
weren't thinking that this was the final season when they first started shooting this and
15:33
speaking of final season, yeah, that's telling right. Our last article comes
15:39
to us today from CBR, and we are getting an encouraging update on The
15:43
Orville season four. Yeah, and this is straight from uh Seth MacFarlane himself.
15:50
He was on something called The Mike Henry Show. I don't know what
15:54
that is. I don't know if you guys are familiar with that featuring Mike
16:00
Henry. Anyway, he was on The Mike Henry Show and he said The
16:07
Orville was a passion project. And he says, wait, I say it
16:11
was, but I don't really mean it was because there will be more.
16:15
So, yeah, made TV movie, right right, They're gonna make very
16:21
short or bell tracks or whatever they're gonna call. Yeah, that says comic
16:29
book to me. Could be that's what That's what that says to me.
16:34
Yeah, it's always something disappointing like that when they're like, oh, I
16:37
guess what, No, there's more. Yeah, person. It's Amazon.
16:44
I would not assume his I would not assume his gender. I said male
16:48
person, and I'm saying I would not assume his gender. Did they stop
16:53
at your window and be like, hey, do I need to drop it
16:56
off here? No? I always wonder. I always wonder if they gonna
17:00
do that. Yeah, I'm always prepared to, you know, have a
17:07
nice little conversation. Yeah on air? Why not? Why not? Have
17:15
you? Have you been approached by any of the any of the Mormons or
17:19
Jovah witnesses or anything like that. Not not lately lately. There was that
17:22
one time. Yeah, I just recently watched rewatched that video. You were
17:33
hilaro. Yeah, that was a good one. I loved it. She
17:37
was expecting that. No, if anybody doesn't know what I'm talking about,
17:44
God approached while he was doing it just before we record. You guys recorded
17:48
this is a while ago, and this person basically approached his dad and talking
17:52
to him about you know, have you heard the Good Word? What do
17:55
you believe it? He's basically just like I believe that one day there's gonna
18:00
be a federation of the planets. That was night. She's like, oh,
18:06
okay, I guess an outsider would probably one, and I said,
18:14
yeah, I think about it every Sunday at eleven. Oh all right,
18:22
well that's that's all the news stories. So let's get to the main topic.
18:30
Fun will now come out. I'm gonna resell. What was that?
18:37
Dan, dan freeze, Dan froze. Oh no, he said something and
18:45
then he froze. All right. You know, he might have said I'll
18:49
be right back. Maybe maybe, or he's like, oh, we've got
18:55
to the point where we're going to talk about Discovery. No, he's back,
18:59
and there he is. Yeah, you dipped out because you can't handle
19:03
this. Yeah, this is the segment of the show where just Daniel and
19:07
I. That's right, that's right, all right, So we're talking about
19:14
episode five from season five, Mirrors. The official log line is Captain Burnham
19:21
and Book journey into an extra dimensional space in search of the next clue to
19:26
the location of the progenitor's power. Meanwhile, Rayner navigates his first mission in
19:33
command of the USS Discovery, and Culbert opens up to Tilly. I mean
19:40
that that's basically all the plot points in the film. The can I say
19:44
something, yes, go for it. Okay, you guys are familiar with
19:48
the fill in the word books. You know, choose an adjective, choosing
19:52
now and choose a show a couple of times, yeah, mad lips,
19:56
Oh I got more, we can hi. I think that's how the writers
20:00
are writing these episodes, because I mean they're just coming across like random things
20:08
and doing random things. It's like, Okay, they discover what ship name
20:14
a ship and people are like the i SS Enterprise, you know, okay,
20:19
that's the ship. Like what okay, No, no, it wasn't
20:23
random, it was cost saving. They have sets, they have the strange
20:30
New World sets. I was going to say, you know, it's like
20:36
it's like every time, it's like when you're watching TNG, every time they
20:38
showed another Federation ship, it's like, is that the battle bridge. That's
20:42
the battle bridge. Yeah, it's the battle bridge for new curtains and we're
20:47
gonna we're gonna take ops and helm and we're gonna do this. We're gonna.
20:52
Yeah, they've done that a lot in Star Trek. The from Star
20:55
Trek six, the Federation President's office was time forward. Yeah, a pro
21:00
tradition. Yeah, no, I get that, I get that. This
21:03
was even this was even further than that though. This was Hey, it's
21:07
the same ship from the universe, so we don't have to change anything.
21:12
Mm hmm, no, regress. We'll just turn the lights down a little
21:18
bit and put some different posters on the wall. If we make it dark,
21:21
that means it's evil. Yeah, yeah, or you gotta you gotta
21:26
tilt the camera like this, right, like it's a Batman episode. Yes,
21:33
that's great. I met my I met my Layer anyway, oh my
21:44
god. Yeah. Uh yeah. So basically there's like a a pocket dimension
21:52
that they need to go to. They can't get into it with the Discovery,
21:56
so they use Bookship and and Burnham he used a shuttle, but bookship
22:02
is gone. Oh that's right. Yeah, a shuttle. Yeah was it
22:06
a shuttle? What ship was it? It was? It was just a
22:08
Discovery shuttle. Yeah, that's a huge shuttle. Well, when you three
22:15
d printed five minutes before you leave, I mean, however, you want
22:21
with detachable in the cells? Probably sure, yep? Why not? Yeah?
22:26
So they went over and that's where they found the I S Enterprise,
22:33
which looked exactly like the Strange World set. Yeah. So so here's what
22:41
I want to know. She brings his book because of his half assed connection
22:45
to this girl, and uh, you know in all the interactions, she
22:52
couldn't care less that he goes by the name Cleveland Booker and knew her dad.
22:59
So my question is it's Michael gonna continue to have a book by her
23:07
side for the next five episodes on this mission, even though we've already seen
23:11
that it has zero bearing on how the story plays out. Uh well,
23:15
yeah, because this whole season is about connections and how you know the power
23:22
of friendship can overcome all So the power friendship. Yeah, it's gonna end
23:27
with all of them standing together like the care bears and light will emit from
23:32
their tummies. And you know, this just shows the difference between this show
23:37
and previous iterations. Are you talking with the care bear stare? What do
23:41
you do? Yes? Yeah, it took me like app a beat that
23:47
I'm like, oh yeah, So Picard had Picard had one girlfriend once on
23:53
the on the ship they played flutes and pianos in the Jefferies Tube together.
24:02
She was in one episode she went on one away mission where her presence may
24:11
have possibly impacted a command decision and she transfers off the ship. Right,
24:18
and that was the right thing to do. Yeah, Michael, Michael's got
24:23
her on again, off again boyfriend going on two person away missions, which
24:32
that's also just like, yeah, standard away team is four people, right,
24:38
so note we're only gonna do two only one of them is an actual
24:41
star fleet officer and also she's also the captain of the ship and the other
24:48
person, while being a civilian, is also her on again, off again
24:52
boyfriend. It's just it's bad writing. It's just so bad. It's so
24:56
bad. Yeah, and does bring up another point we haven't brought up yet,
25:02
that the Brain were better with the orror of mystery around their appearance.
25:06
They Yeah, they just ruined the Breen So thank you for that. The
25:14
Brindalorians, I don't get the whole. So they were talking about two different
25:21
faces. I didn't that because one likely and then the other one is prosthetics.
25:26
Yeah, so you have the expensive to film Brain and the cheap to
25:30
film Braing. Okay, but what's what's done? No explanation. I didn't
25:36
get it either. And because of that, Okay, there's no explanation.
25:38
They're talking about two faces, so you're talking about their regular face and the
25:45
c g I face. I wasn't sure if it was that or since they
25:49
apparently don't are Mandalorians and don't really take off their helmets, like is that
25:53
their face their helmet is one? I thought that at first, and they
25:56
take off the helmet and this is my true face and I don't normally show
26:00
my true face face the try face. Yes, yeah, I think there
26:07
was a he Man action figure that was that. Oh yeah, try collapse,
26:11
try clops, Nope, no, try claps, three three eyes,
26:15
three faces was many faces man face warning nerd alert ner I will proudly,
26:27
proudly accept that nerd alert. That's right, because you've got the power.
26:32
I do have the power. That's right. Well, that's his name from
26:34
now on. Many faces Faces. I don't even remember the character same now
26:41
I don't know. That's that whole that whole thing. It's like, okay,
26:48
so they they fall in love. Why I don't. I don't understand
26:55
what happened there to make them they just they didn't flesh that out at all.
27:00
It's all right, you're you're the delivery driver, and you know I'm
27:06
the I'm the receiving clerk, and you know I do your paperwork every Tuesday
27:11
when you come here and and you convinced me to take my helmet off,
27:15
and now we're in love. That's all it was. I didn't see any
27:18
chemistry. No, there's no chemistry. I was waiting. Okay, So
27:26
last week it was fine because we don't know the backstory yet, and I'm
27:33
like, okay, we'll get the backstory and we'll see why these two are
27:37
a pair. They'll show us why these two are a pair. And they
27:41
didn't show us. They just told us. These two people were in close
27:44
proximity every Tuesday for six months and now they're in love. Except that,
27:48
Yep, it would have been better if they showed her, you know,
27:55
like the way she was kind of like scamming the Breen and then somehow she
28:00
him. But you know, eventually they're gonna get caught, right, and
28:04
and so she tells him, look, you're gonna get in trouble. You're
28:07
gonna get killed for for failing to catch me. So just come with me
28:12
and I'll take you somewhere safe and that way you can live. And then
28:17
they fall in love as they're traveling, and then you do flashback because in
28:21
that way it's more believable and organic how they fell in love. Just hey,
28:26
we meet up every now and then, and and I guess we're in
28:29
love now. Yeah, so Scott, you driving truck right? I do?
28:37
Have you ever fell in love with the receiving clerk? Almost? Never?
28:41
Almost, I'm pretty sure. Wait a minute, was des there a
28:47
receiving clerk? Is that how you guys met? Is that your your?
28:51
Is that the family? We worked in the customer service field. We worked
28:55
at a a regional store called Meyer and and uh, it's kind of like
29:00
a Walmart out here in the Midwest. And she worked in the she worked
29:04
in the photo lab and I was a cash here. And that's how we
29:08
met. She she developed some compromising photos and yeah, exactly it, That's
29:15
exactly it. No, No, you know, you have such little interaction.
29:21
I was thinking about this too. You have such little interaction with the
29:25
person behind the counter. You know that even if you see each other every
29:27
day, there's no way these two, especially with the mask and the barriers
29:33
and the people watching. You know, they might have flirted a little bit,
29:37
but you know, developed feelings. Yeah, that's right, says wife's
29:45
listening. So, yeah, I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it.
29:49
I've never I've never fallen in love with with with the a clerk and
29:55
the mask thing. Falling in love with someone behind the mask is ridiculous.
29:59
This, this would be the equivalent of you know, you're a fan of
30:03
the Cleveland Indians and you go to the games all the time, and you
30:08
you fall in love with the mascot. You know, just it's the way.
30:15
It just drives me crazy. I love him, I don't care what
30:18
he looks like underneath there. And then one day he just takes that big
30:22
giant head off and it's like, whoa hurry, Dan, you're saying you
30:33
couldn't see Gritty there no Philadelphia Flyers mask no longer. Stare at him exactly
30:41
those eyes, those eyes they're messrizing and look at that strong beard to take
30:51
this shirt off. Oh no, So that's your gut reaction, whatever you
31:00
Paul love, if somebody is you take your third off, it's the first
31:04
step saying it's the Indian Guardians. Now, it's that the Cleveland Guardians.
31:11
Now yes, yes, sorry, yeah, sorry, teams change their names,
31:18
I will call them the Cleveland Guardians of forever. Yeah. If I'm
31:22
gonna have to say it, I'm gonna I'm gonna check it out. What
31:23
about the Galaxy. What's that the Guardians of the Galaxy. Well, that's
31:29
not Star Trek, that's true. You're right, stan Brand exactly. We've
31:37
never talked about it. It's alway Star Trek all the time. Very predictable,
31:44
are we Yep? Yep? And a little bit of Batman, that's
31:49
right. But yeah, yeah, more Eddy Moore synopsis anymore? I mean,
32:00
what else happened? At one point? Book and what's his name?
32:09
Locke Lock? The Breen guy, what's his name? Lock? Is it
32:15
mall in Lock? They got separated by some force field or something, and
32:22
so Book and and Mal had to go and take them down and get them.
32:29
That part wasn't real clear to me, Like what room were they in?
32:31
They didn't show like maybe an overhead shot or it wasn't you know,
32:36
the set was weirdly laid out. I didn't understand, you know, but
32:42
whatever, who is Casey Smith? New new person? Hey welcome? Yeah
32:49
they liked the show, so all right, cool if you enjoyed it.
32:53
But you're right the the them being separated and then all of a sudden they're
32:58
like four feet from each other with phasers pointed at each other, just kind
33:00
of talking and bored, like how I don't understand how that happened? And
33:08
yeah, I don't know because they were in sick bay, right right,
33:15
Okay, guys, are there anything The writing of the show isn't very good.
33:23
You know, they're just getting getting going. I'm sure. I'm sure
33:28
Discovery will find it's it's you know, third season charm. There you go,
33:35
Yeah, it's fine. Everything fine. They've written themselves into so many
33:38
corners. You know, you've got this this, this wrist mounted replicator.
33:45
Mm hmm, I mean replicate yourself some armor and take the first shot.
33:52
Yeah, it's just that nothing makes They can do so many things now that
33:58
nothing they do makes sense anymore. Yeah, we keep saying it. They
34:02
need rules for the technology, so then you know what's possible and what isn't.
34:07
Yeah, yep, I'd like to see what the show bible says.
34:10
Every show has the show bible, you know that that gives those kind of
34:15
rules like you can do this, you can't do this, this is capable
34:16
of that. Every every show is supposed to have a show bible. I'm
34:21
starting to wonder if this one does. You know, this is how these
34:24
certain types of you know, characters behave or species behaves. You know,
34:29
this is what they likely do. You know, ship's got this many people,
34:32
it's it's it's a reference guy that I don't know if any of the
34:37
writers are looking at. Yeah, I don't know. But anyways, so
34:45
from there, Burnham, Captain Burnham and Maul figure out how to take down
34:53
the force fields I guess kind of, and and they get out of there.
35:00
But then there's more problems and the ship is going to be stuck in
35:02
the pocket universe. And so Book and and burn and figure out by using
35:07
a tractor beam they can somehow get out. That wasn't clear to me either,
35:13
Like what what was that about the US tractor beam? Only they weren't.
35:21
They weren't doing the towing. They were being towed, but by they
35:23
were, it was like a lasso. They were throwing their lasso onto another
35:28
ship and having that ship pulled them out of the mud. Okay, so
35:30
they were hooking onto Discovery, and Discovery they were right. They shot their
35:36
tractor beam, ount Discovery grabbed onto their tractor beam. Okay, because Discovery
35:39
couldn't stand into that, they wouldn't have known to throw a tractor beam into
35:44
the anomaly or whatever. They were in. So the communication that they that
35:50
they did where it was like it was like four three two or something,
35:54
and he recognized that from from a story story. Yeah, okay, all
36:00
right, makes zero sense whatsoever. If you can send numbers for someone to
36:08
read, you can communicate with them. Yeah, well that's how that's how
36:14
communication works, that's how binary works, that's how morse code works. If
36:22
you could send a series of numbers, you can communicate. This is the
36:27
kind of shit where it's like, this doesn't make any sense. Okay,
36:32
to be fair, I will say this. They did mention the story ahead
36:36
of time that she had been studying his culture, so that was kind of
36:42
like the writers saying, this is foreshadowing. I get that, I understand
36:45
foreshadowing, but when the foreshadowing doesn't make any sense, right, I'm gonna
36:50
send him. I'm gonna send him a code that he might understand because I
36:55
read a story that I'm pretty sure he also read. Or I could send
37:00
a goddamn s O S like every naval ship for the last seven thousand years
37:06
has been trying to do. Here, let's try this. I'm gonna send
37:09
you some numbers based off of story, and you tell me if you can
37:14
figure it out three and one, three and one, yeah, section thirty
37:20
one. No, there's three of us doing one podcast now see. Yeah.
37:27
But but if instead you would said, hey, Dan, listen to
37:30
this, and I have uh a Starfleet communications person behind me who could say,
37:40
there's those are dots and dashes that must be at SS Dieja. Every
37:45
time I think an episode is okay, I watched trek Cast and I learned
37:49
about ten plot. Yes, the track cast, the place where you go
37:55
to hate Discovery. Oh my god, I'm sorry. I don't mean to
38:01
always I don't. I don't mean to always dump dump on this show.
38:07
I want to love this show. I want to love it so badly.
38:10
But there's but there's so many reasons not to, and some of them are
38:15
such dumb reasons. You know. I'll tell friends of mine when these are
38:22
great, like first drafts of a script, like you, okay, you
38:24
have your idea, let's go hammer this out a little bit better. We
38:29
can really make this sing if we figure out the fine tune details right,
38:34
and they're almost there. Yeah, yeah, Well when friends of mine aren't,
38:38
aren't Trekky's say, what's up in this star Trek thing? Going on,
38:43
what should I start watching? I want to watch the new stuff,
38:45
and I'm like, strangeer world Yeah, Strange New Worlds. You you might
38:52
get something out of lower Decks. So the Lower Decks really is a love
38:55
letter to the fans, right, you know, Hard has a huge backstory,
39:04
but Strange New Worlds, I mean, yeah, there's there's you know,
39:07
references to the past and to the future. I guess. I recently
39:10
told a friend because he was asking me that, like, what what do
39:15
I start at? And but I knew that he was really into TNG,
39:19
so I told him watch Precurred season three, Like, don't don't worry about
39:22
season one and two, don't forget it, just start with season three.
39:25
Ye start there, and then if you like that, then then we'll talk.
39:30
Yep. Yeah, yeah, great advice. Well, I've got a
39:35
couple of palette cleansers. If I was gonna mention some of the some of
39:39
the trivia that I found on IMDb and one of the one of the knits
39:45
that I saw, which I actually was thinking about, in fact, I
39:50
shouted out during the episode. But we'll start with the trivia, of which
39:53
I can only see one that matters. This was the nine hundred episode of
40:00
Star Trek. Oh wow. Yeah, so we've got a hundred more episodes
40:07
of Star Trek before we reached the one thousand mark. Wow wow. So
40:13
essentially Academy could be that thousand episodes maybe, I mean, yeah, because
40:20
we've got strange new worlds we've got because you know, they don't do twenty
40:22
five episode seasons anymore. So you know, we've got ten seasons really maybe
40:29
nine seasons of you know, More Trek before we hit that thousand episodes.
40:35
But the knit the goof remember when they were doing they had to launch a
40:45
photon torpedo and they're like, hey, if we take the payload out of
40:49
a photon torpedo and replace it with antimatter, then it'll go boom. That
40:54
is what a that That is what a photon torpedo payload is. Yes,
41:00
yes, exactly. That'd be like saying, oh, let's take off the
41:02
bomb, take the C four out of it and put explosives in instead.
41:07
Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, let's see. He says, it's
41:14
yeah, good. I think it's the regular payload. It still doesn't make
41:22
sense, but I'm pretty sure the regular payload is anti matter and an equal
41:27
supply of matter so that when they collide, they annihilate each other and release
41:32
this energy. So is he talking about take that out and only put put
41:38
only anti matter in there? Is it meant to react and want something boom?
41:44
Yeah, captain, give captain boom. But why does that stand?
41:50
I mean, whatever makes the biggest boom, which I would imagine if you're
41:52
going to make a bomb of any kind, a torpedo of any kind.
41:55
Now that, granted they can set the up I don't know if they can
42:00
do this in the well, yeah, they're in the thirty first century.
42:02
I'm pretty sure they can set the yield on them. So wouldn't you want
42:07
its highest yield to be the biggest boom you could make? And wouldn't you
42:10
already engineer that? That? Show Bible, Show Bible. This is what
42:15
our torpedoes are made out of. So we have programmable matter? Do we
42:19
have programmable anti matter? Is there is there a switch you could flip to
42:27
reprogram the matter to make it anti matter, reverse the polarity of the matter,
42:30
reverse the polarity of the odeon conduit, and nuah, you know that,
42:36
and throw in some gel packs and yeah, you're good. That's right,
42:39
the Heisenberg compensators and make sure it doesn't prematurely explode nano probes in there
42:45
if it's voyager, just to you know, yeah, that's just stay consistent,
42:51
reprogrammed nano probes of course progress Yeah, always reprogrammed always. Uh uh.
43:00
I don't know, guys, I don't know. Is that your only
43:04
knit? Are you got another that was the only knit that made any sense?
43:07
So yeah, yeah, yeah, So I was gonna bring up Casey
43:13
is saying that when TG came along all the tos people hated it. Expectations
43:19
caused the disappointment. That's a fair point, But I think too some of
43:24
the things we're pointing out it's not that the show in itself, like creation,
43:30
is the disappointment, which you know, people want change and all that
43:35
don't want change. Our problems with this is some of the structural things in
43:38
the story that could be fixed and then it would be great. There.
43:43
You know, it's all these little like plot holes that we keep pointing out.
43:46
I think the problem is they haven't fixed any of these things. So
43:51
TG came out, and you know that first season is pretty rough, right,
43:55
and the second season has a couple of good episodes in there, but
44:00
they were still fine in their way. Honestly, when I had my wife
44:07
watch TNG with me, I started at season three. I said, there's
44:13
really nothing in the first two seasons that you have to see. And then
44:16
right before we watched all good things, we watched Encounter at farpoint so she
44:22
could understand what was happening. And I tell people the same thing with with
44:28
Deep Space nine. If you don't want to watch the early episodes, you
44:30
don't have to. There's some good stuff in there, but it was a
44:34
little rough in the beginning. Also watch, yes, watch watch Emissary so
44:40
you understand who's who in the zoo, and then skip to when Wharf comes
44:45
along. You'll be fine. And if you fall in love with those characters,
44:49
you can go back and watch those early ones. You know, Voyager,
44:54
you got to watch the you got to watch the pilot episode to understand
45:00
what's going on. I don't know if there's really a definitive skip to point
45:09
a lot, Well, a lot of stuff happened, a lot of stuff
45:14
happened before then. Tu Vic's was pre seven one and that's and that's yeah,
45:20
you can't write him off like Jane Waite did, I guess. So
45:28
the point, the point I'm making is there there's a long history of Star
45:32
Trek getting off to bumpy starts, finding their way and maturing into a better
45:40
show. You know. But we just talked about the card. Season one
45:45
and two, Season three fantastic. So the difference is this show has just
45:55
you know, it's five years. They haven't fixed anything. Yeah, well,
46:00
they've made the show they want to and it's different than than any other
46:05
Star Trek we've had. It's more focused on the relationship between the characters,
46:09
which has been the edict from day one, and that's how they want it.
46:15
It's you know, it's not they even said in the show, like,
46:19
you know, this isn't the way most ships operate. It's not a
46:23
professional running of the ship. Even Burnham conceded that, you know, probably
46:29
sometimes it's not the best, but it's how they do things, and that's
46:32
how they do it. So like it kind of makes me think of,
46:37
like we used to joke on this show that one of the things about Star
46:40
Trek is it's the nerdiest show because it's a bunch of people following the rules,
46:45
and then we get a show where all these people do not follow the
46:49
rules, and so we're all sitting here like, why aren't they following the
46:52
rules? Well, you know what people have often said, why do conservatives
46:58
like Star Trek. They can't understand why conservatives like Star Trek. And that's
47:04
a big part of it, because it's a bunch of people following the rules.
47:07
I think that's that's the draw. That's the draw for those people on
47:13
the right. And when you take that away, I don't know, Yeah,
47:20
it kind of loses, it loses some of that draw for some of
47:22
those people. Starkly kind of looks like a military organization. But when it
47:29
when it no longer acts like one like this show, you lose that draw.
47:36
Yeah. I kept thinking back to that scene where it's like who's in
47:37
charge? All you guys figure it out? Yeah? No, no,
47:42
not in any organization I've ever been involved with. Right, And just just
47:47
so you know, my battery is dying on this thing, so I might
47:51
cut out in a minute and switch to my phone. Okay, So I
47:54
will be back if that happens soon. Well, anything else we want to
48:00
say about this episode? Uh? Dan? Has we all have to say
48:05
one good thing? We're back to that, all right? Well, you
48:09
guys go first, because I'm in a minute, I do, okay,
48:22
I do like that. They they very clearly looked at the resources they have.
48:28
They looked at the the Stranger World set and they said, hey,
48:30
we can use that for something that's cool. That's cool that they thought outside
48:36
the box that way. Yeah, I like the tractor beam rescue. See.
48:40
I thought that was neat. I thought that they pulled that off.
48:44
Pretty cool. The visuals, as always, the visuals on the show are
48:46
amazing. You know, they've really come a long way, obviously, even
48:52
in the last fifteen years. Yeah, and I'm I'm silly for Tilly.
48:58
I love Tilly. Tilly's great. Any chance she's on screen, we didn't
49:01
get any uh the engineer. We didn't get any Tignaitaro this episode. Yeah,
49:09
I think Tichnitar only flies in, does a few of her scenes and
49:13
flies out. I don't think she's there the entire time. So I hope,
49:17
I hope we have more of her. But yeah, Tilly is I
49:21
think. I think there's this cool relationship budding between Tilly and the doctor,
49:28
you know, this this cool friendship, and I hope that plays out a
49:31
little bit more as the season series ends. I mean, if she's going
49:36
to be in an academy, it gives me hope that maybe the Doctor will
49:39
show up there too. Sometimes. Yeah, yeah, I like the idea
49:46
of them preserving the Iss Enterprise as a piece of history. Yea, even
49:55
if it is a piece of alternate history because it's from the your universe.
50:00
And I also like the idea of detmer A, Wotchaku and a skeleton crew
50:07
limping this thing back to Federation headquarters. And I just imagine what an experience
50:16
that has to be from those people, for those people, yeah, oh
50:22
we lost them, bye Dan. But so yeah, to expand on what
50:28
he was saying, well, it experience for the people that were flying the
50:31
ship back. They're flying this not only is it a piece of history from
50:36
the thirty first century, it's they're in the thirty first century and the ship
50:38
is a piece of alternate history from way back, but it's also a contemporary
50:45
piece for the people on that ship. You know, this is from their
50:49
time. You know, this is the time travelers time period stuff. You
50:53
know. So they yeah, what if that's the teaser for the section one
50:58
thirty one show the movie that so they're going to use the ISS Enterprise as
51:05
like, like there's something on there that that Okay, no, he's all
51:12
right. Maybe I mean there's oh no, we lost them again? I
51:20
here, okay, but yeah, I mean it could be a teaser,
51:23
right, somehow Giorgio shows up on that ship, needs to grab something or
51:30
needs some information whatever. Like it may not be the full plot point,
51:34
but it could be a plot point in the movie. I have a couple
51:37
questions about the ISS Enterprise number one. Has it hasn't been shown yet?
51:40
Has it hold on? What? Dan? No? Real quick? If
51:44
I could just finish my thought, yeah, yeah, go for it.
51:46
Cut off. It's a cool idea that this skeleton crew, who lived most
51:54
of their lives in the twenty third century, just gets to step back into
52:00
the twenty third century, even for a couple of days, just to cruise
52:02
this ship home. It's got to be a comforting feeling for them, right,
52:07
Yeah, that's all. Okay. I basically said that word for word
52:12
for you while you were sorry flip flipping your phone into your crotch. It's
52:19
not that kind of stream, Dan, Yeah, only Dand okay, So
52:28
I have two questions about the IS Enterprise number one. We have not seen
52:31
her yet? Have we since in any of this new Trek? We didn't
52:39
see her in Discovery season three? Did we two? Or I feel like
52:45
when they went to the Mirror Universe they mentioned it. Okay, so we
52:50
haven't seen the IS Centerprise since Mirror Mirror? Yeah, okay. And I
52:58
just got done speaking of the original series. I just got we just my
53:00
wife and I just got done watching Trouble with Tribbles. Yeah did you see
53:06
before we Yeah? Well I kept saying, hey, do you see jad
53:09
Z right? Oh, she's right behind the panel right there. Before we
53:13
continue with the series, We're going to watch trials and tribulations and then continue
53:16
on. So I have to The other question I have was how long has
53:22
the ISS Enterprise been stuck there? Oh? Man, that's a good question.
53:30
From whose time frame? Yeah? Well from its own time frame,
53:34
Like how long has it been sitting there? Because like the lights work and
53:39
there's still air on the ship and all the stuff works, So it hasn't
53:45
been there for hundreds of years? Yeah, I feel or has it?
53:51
They weren't real clear. I think it has been. Well, but I
53:57
want that power supply because man, well, well it would have a warp
54:01
Corps. Right work Corps is basically limitless. When the Defiant showed up on
54:09
Enterprise, the USS Defiant, when it traveled to the mirror universe, it
54:17
traveled through space and time, so we don't know, okay, how this
54:23
ship got there. Yeah, traveled from one Well no, no, because
54:30
where's the crew. Then they said, you can't cross over anymore because the
54:34
universes are too divergent. So it must have hundreds of years ago, and
54:37
it's been sitting there for hundreds of years. That's that's one hell of a
54:44
power source. Well, and technically it didn't cross over to our universe,
54:49
crossed over into some sort of pocket universe and then from there we were able
54:52
to pull it out. All right, then I don't know. Maybe you
54:55
got there yesterday. Yeah, okay, all right, fair enough whatever.
55:00
Yeah, the answer is whatever you wanted to be, Scott, Okay,
55:05
whatever you wanted to be. Apparently it was protected. The power supply was
55:08
protected by plat armor. May the power protect you? Yes? It was
55:17
also with you? That's yeah, that's true. It was low power mode.
55:22
It means dimmed. That's fine. Okay. That's the one thing they
55:27
don't tell you is that evil ships with the dark lighting saves on power.
55:30
Power, you know, here's the benefit. Here's the thing though, I
55:35
mean, the ship uses power when there's people on it. The doors don't
55:39
open when there's no people on it, the turbo lifts don't move when there's
55:44
no people, the replicators don't replicate when there's no people on it. So
55:49
if the ship is just sitting there doing nothing and the shields aren't up,
55:57
I mean, who's yeah, yeah, maybe, okay, okay, all
56:05
right, all right, well anything else we want to say or should we
56:12
get to feedback? I think we should get to feedback. Okay, let's
56:15
get the feedback. Okay, listener feedback. All right, Oh, Chad's
56:27
urge. Scott's drinking his his brew there, yep, and I'm asking people
56:32
to x up in the chat. Well they're doing that, Scott. You
56:37
said you had some emails. Yeah, yeah, So the first email I
56:43
have is from Duvall. It's quite lengthy, so I'm gonna kind of summarize
56:46
a little bit. Greetings cast. At first watch, the episode was interesting
56:51
except for the space Romeo and Juliet or whatever is going on there, he
56:58
said. He said. A second watch got him thinking about did they ever
57:00
explain what clue they got the space bonding Clyde got into the wormhole that did
57:07
they ever explain that clue at all? I don't think they did. And
57:13
he was surprised that they didn't do a six hours earlier thing, which he
57:15
knows that I hate. And he was confused about as we all were.
57:21
I think how the clue ended up on the Mere Universe ship? How did
57:23
it get there? And when Booker and Burnham scanned the ship the clue is
57:30
also a life sign. Did you guys catch that? It's it was a
57:32
third if you I had to watch the scene again. At first they said
57:38
there was two life signs and then there was a third life sign, but
57:40
that was that turned out to be the clue. Oh interesting, So yeah,
57:46
I don't know. He also said that the picture inside the little Lockett
57:52
thing that she had looked like the little kid con from Stranger worlds. Oh
57:58
yeah, And then he mentioned what Kai kind of mentioned, what point in
58:02
time did the Ice of Centerprise go through this wormhole? Was it a thousand
58:07
years ago? Was it three hundred years ago? So you know, last
58:12
Tuesday, last Tuesday, and he's trying to figure out it brings up concerns
58:17
about before the ship was like it's still intact, and then he says,
58:22
and I've gone cross eyed. So he's having a hard time dealing with some
58:25
of this stuff too, he says. He goes on to say Dan was
58:30
right. This episode wasn't about a wormholes, just a big old plot hole.
58:34
Those writers did not do a good job making any sense of these things.
58:37
Uh, this whole thing is making my brain hurt. Maybe I'll go
58:38
watch X Men ninety seven and de compress my brain, he says. Any
58:43
who can't wait to hear you guys thoughts on this one, I bet it's
58:45
gonna be a doozy of all that. NYC freelance correspondent guy for Trek Cast
58:52
All Andrew says, there were quantum signatures. That's why there's three signatures.
58:55
Oh okay, okay, Yeah, here's the thing. As soon as you
59:02
said that it was Deval who messaged us about all I could think about is
59:09
this chopped cheese right, and that you know, met him and dad,
59:15
You're gonna get one of these things we should X month and everything everything else,
59:22
everything else you read was just like right, like Charlie Brown's parents,
59:30

59:34
Okay, great, you will live there. I don't be there. I
59:38
live here. Yeah, I mean I worked down there, but I didn't
59:43
Yeah, I mean I didn't sample every type of cuisine. Cuisine in the
59:46
City of New York. Did you get a sidewalk hot dog and just out
59:52
later dirty water dogs? That's yes. Okay, you're like our representative of

hardest thing to find the show in the UK, to get it to work

Fantastic. Yes, Paddington's statue's all over London. Yes, I had that
1:04:45
key and scones on the Tightington boast. I got right in the front row
1:04:49

So you got a fat guy riding in the front of the bus and
1:04:59

1:05:21
If does never go out online, you'll look at those poor pastor and you
1:05:26
just don't get arrested while you wear in that shirt. Yes, yes,
1:05:30
no, no lude or anything. You don't need that kind of representation.
1:05:36
We don't need that kind of bad publicity. International incident, incident, that's
1:05:42
right. So don't touch the horse with the track Cast shirt off, so
1:05:45
right, right, right, right? So do I mean we can use
1:05:49
bad publicity is good publicity? Yeah? Well next next area is pairs,
1:05:57
So I'll do it Tuesday. So I'll try to get a picture with the
1:06:01
Eiffel Tower with the shirt on. That'd be great. Yeah, so I
1:06:08
got Buckingham Palace, the Paddington Bus today with the shirt on. Awesome,
1:06:14
do something newsworthy like you take your pants off and run around just helicopter,
1:06:21
helicopter, round and round truck cat Yeah, that would be awesome. That'd
1:06:27
be awesome. I mean some of us could cancel, but you know,
1:06:30
yeah, we just got a question from Casey. Is Amazon going to help
1:06:35
fund legacy. Uh. I mean that's a good question. Theoretically it could
1:06:42
go with what's going on right now with the streaming? Yeah, what's going
1:06:46
on with Paramount? Any news on that? I'm last week? It's fluid.
1:06:54
Yeah, last we knew there's a million different potential buyers. Sony is
1:06:58
the latest one. Sony and some uh private equity firm called Apollo, so
1:07:03
who knows. Yeah, we're we're going to put our thirty seven dollars bid
1:07:08
in from our coffee account. So right, we'll see maybe maybe thirty seven
1:07:12
dollars plus seven dollars and three cough drops that I have. We got a
1:07:17
dandelion money I'm buying. That's right. Well, you know we we didn't
1:07:28
mention it yet, but we're going to have a new uh co coffee account
1:07:32
goal because I showed this to Dan and he wants it. So we need
1:07:38
about ten grand to be a terminator a flamethrower dog. So yeah, Dan
1:07:45
needs this, yep, So I love it. It'll have my rusty dogs.
1:07:56
Oh wow, yeah, hey, maybe you can cook some hot dogs
1:07:59
in New York those So there you go. So what was your thought of
1:08:10
the brain this week? Did you like the reveil or do you wish the
1:08:13
helmet stayed on? Yeah, I wish the helmet. I think we're all
1:08:15
in agreement on that. Yeah, they should have kept the mystery alive.
1:08:20
Well, the mystery should have been alive. And then how they hid their
1:08:23
voice like you can understand what they're saying, and then all of a sudden
1:08:27
like oh they can, you know, easily understand us to speak our language,
1:08:33
just like a little twitch could. The whole time we had to listen
1:08:40
to garbled mess. I thought they were going to have a bunch of subset
1:08:45
species. I thought they were going to be kind of like the Zindi,
1:08:47
and they were that some of them were lizards and some of them were furry
1:08:51
and some you know, I didn't think they were just going to be like
1:08:57
generic green aliens from the Orneville, like the dolegs or something. If they
1:09:03
were going to ask the Breen on this show, in this storyline, they
1:09:10
completely missed the opportunity to make them the descendants of the progenitors. Yeah,
1:09:16
yeah, yeah, okay, you should be the writer now, Yeah,
1:09:24
hey, fly us out to what Vancouver? Yeah? Yeah, no kidding,
1:09:32
no, getting up there and be like, hey, I got an
1:09:35
idea for the cost of three business class plane tickets and the intermediate intermediate accommodation.
1:09:45
That definitely coach paramounts broke. Yeah, we could turn the ship around
1:09:49
for kicking the greyhound out there or whatever. Yeah, would the Canadian greyhound
1:09:55
be called yeah, the gre the goose. They probably just nicknamed it the
1:10:03
goose. Oh, probably probably the Great Goose. Nice well, Jazz,
1:10:14
there is anything else you want to bring up? Uh, that's about it.
1:10:17
You know, like this episode it was Bonnie and collide pretty much.
1:10:23
You kind of go background to their story and I guess it was the locks
1:10:30
hurt right now, something like did he get shot or what happened to him
1:10:33
in the episode? He got stabbed? He got stabbed, so but you
1:10:41
know Michael wanted to by a plot knife and of course you know he'll have
1:10:46
that wound off through the end of the season and I'll probably die at end,
1:10:51
Mall, will you know, either get revenge or had to do something
1:10:56
crazy so they'll have one more pressthetic laden kiss. Yes, yes, it
1:11:02
will taste like plastic Scott's favorite my favorite. Yes, prosthetic laden kind have
1:11:13
yet ever asked me in the actors what it's like to kiss like that with
1:11:15
the prosthetics on. No, but I might at the convention. Every time
1:11:19
I saw and Cura kiss, I'm like, yeah, like Planet of the
1:11:29
Apes. Yeah, it's like like kissing a cpr W. Yeah right exactly,
1:11:36
because that's what he kind of looks like. Well, you even have
1:11:40
to clear before you do it. That's what I should have asked the not
1:11:43
visitor what I saw? What was it like kissing Odo? I think what
1:11:47
the ferangie teeth would be like if she had to make out with the fergie.
1:11:53
Yeah, those nasty teeth in there. So oh yeah, maybe that's
1:11:57
what I should ask arm and Shimmerman when I see him in November. You
1:12:00
know, what was it like you and then grill Cup making out? Oh
1:12:02
we'll see him in in May at the convention, so you guys, no,
1:12:06
Armon will be there, Okay, Yeah that's awesome. Yeah, I'll
1:12:10
see him in November for the Grand Rapids Comic con. Well, you know
1:12:13
what we'll do is we'll we'll handle something to give to you. You do
1:12:15
Mac and me or something? Yeah, which reminds me of Mac and Me.
1:12:24
So what's that Mac and cheese? What? No, Mac and be
1:12:28
got attention to it was like one of the worst alien movies out there,
1:12:34
one of the best. They even had. They even had a dance off
1:12:38
in McDonald's. Don't forget so, oh my god, it was Mac and
1:12:44
Me. It was like sponsored by Coca Cola and McDonald's pretty much. Okay,
1:12:47
I remember the advertising for this movie. I never actually thought yes,
1:12:51
and basically they drank Coca Cola the whole movie, and then they went to
1:12:56
McDonald's for a dance off, and it's themester did this thing you've ever seen?
1:13:02
Yes, every track ast episode has to have a musical element there.
1:13:12
Yeah, there's Mac and Me. Yes, yeah, there is. And
1:13:16
if you have that et rip off, that was the the Yeah. Who
1:13:26
I'm gonna tie it back to Star Trek. Kind of looks like our Breen
1:13:30
thread, that's gonna say, kind of looks like Moogie. Yeah, I
1:13:36
see more Mookie. Yeah, alright, alright, well thanks jazz Viz.
1:13:45
All right, all right, oh boy, well we only got five more
1:13:55
episodes and then Dan and I will get to see the last episode together.
1:14:01
Yes, yeah, so we can have a good cry when it's over.
1:14:04
I hope we can do ah, hope we can do a podcast that weekend.
1:14:08
I think we will. The the thing I was thinking about is probably
1:14:12
realistically, we'd have to do it on Saturday, because Sunday is when we
1:14:17
have to get out of the hotel and it's gonna be hard to record and
1:14:20
then get out of there. So okay, but that's with each other.
1:14:26
Schedule looks like, yeah, that's that's that's like over a month away,
1:14:28
so we're fine. But yeah, all right, Well, thanks everybody for
1:14:33
listening, and I guess we'll catch you next week. Sounds good bye everybody.
