  Speaker 1: do has something to do with warming and climate the globe, yes, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Or it's just a coincidence, right.

  Speaker 2: Or it's just you know, it's it's a lie and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's funny. I'm I'm rewatching U Picard and I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of season I don't know how bored.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I guess I just got it, just got a hankred
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm I'm I'm I just started season two. And
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you know, if you recall that season two is about
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a timeline change, and so the the Evil Earth instead
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of fixing the ozone, they just put a band aid
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on it and they basically put a giant like saran
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: wrap force field grid around the earth to fix the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Ozo layer. It's instead of like, you know, reverse the damage.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's what we would do.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been I just started watching the A TV
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: show Welcome to Dry.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, and I have no idea what that is.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's the horror movie with the clown.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Oh with the clown. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. If my
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: wife is here, she'd be like, hey, dummy, it's the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. She knows all about that stuff.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it's it's the one with the clown.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And uh, it's weird, man, it's really weird.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I kind of like horror stuff. So I got into that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: And then I also I am starting to watch you
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: ever see that show American Gods.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I've heard of it, I have nothing seen it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Well it's on it's on on Amazon right now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And watching that and now's the time, right because you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: can't there's nothing to do outside. I can't walk outside,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: let alone. Yeah, you can barely drive. So now's the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: time where you're, you know, binge watching some stuff and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you just asked, why are you watching the card?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And then I realized subconsciously I just met Tim Russ,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Brent Spiner, you know, and a bunch of other actors,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: uh Todd, Uh you know, Chad Chadswick, Chadwick, oh talk,
• 4:01

• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ship from Chicago.

• 4:11
  Speaker 1: There were so many people there, Doug Jones. Yeah, I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: got to meet a lot of them. So I guess
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that's the the secondary thing we might touch on is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the fact that I went to the Star Trek convention and.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got to meet some listeners too.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I got to lead, I got to meet
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: some listeners. I had a list of some of the people.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I posted your names on the on the Facebook group.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: That's why, people, he's got to listen. He's checking it twice.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That's that's right. And uh one of the guys we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: met in Chicago in twenty twenty two, Oh well, okay, yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I just forgot your name. I'm so sorry. I've got
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a bunch of names floating around and a lot of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff running around in my head. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: oh but it was great that it was great to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: meet everybody.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Are okay?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say, we we also do have
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: an announcement make we had talked about.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Kind of an event we're putting on about the Yeah
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: so am I so let me let me bring up
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the image here. So, guys, this year, we're not doing
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a postcard, a Christmas card. We decided to do something
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a little bit different. So what we decided to do
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: is we're going to do a trek Cast toy drive.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And so what we decided was, instead of you guys
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: shipping toys to us so that we could donate to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: our local charities, we thought, you know, we've got so
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: many listeners all over the planet, why not spread the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the cheer if you will, and create to your own
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: local toy Like here in America it's called toys pots.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sure in other countries they have some equivalent thing,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a donating toy to to the less fortunate that need something.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So what we're asking is, please donate to your local
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: local charities, but share your pictures online of those images,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and when you do, use the treck Cast the hashtag
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: treck Cast Toy Drive. So whatever you're gonna do and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: take a photo of it, share it online and share
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it with trek cast toy drive in the hashtags and
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know that way, that's part of our toy drive
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and that's all.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And the idea behind that is not not to say, hey,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: look I donated something. It's to generate buzz. You know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you do like the hashtags and stuff like that and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: take the photos. It generates buzz. When you generate buzz,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: more people get involved in, the more there is join
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So well, yeah, we're we're good.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Dan, Okay, we're talking about I didn't know we do.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't know we were doing a show today.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I gotta. I got a notification that I had a
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Facebook message, so I'm like, Okay, the truck cast guys,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: what are they up to?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is the show. I should be there for that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: mostly mostly because you know, I have to kind of
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: like I have to be the counter Scott. You know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I have to be the anti the anti Scott. If
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not here, I feel like I feel like, if
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: left unchecked, his head would just grow to proportions that
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: would just not allow him.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: To fit in the stadium on the screen exactly.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be too much. And I'm
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: too polite to say anything exactly me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: I don't give a ship. I don't give a ship.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: I'll tell him what's what.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I love it? I love it, I do. I love it. Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So so guys, So for the truck Cast Toy Drive,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: like we were saying, just donate locally to your local charities,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: like like I said, here in America it's called Toys
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: for Tots. In other places, I'm sure they have an equivalent.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: And yeah, just donate, share your photos online of what
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: you're donating, and use the hashtag trek Cast Toy Drive.
• 8:08

  Speaker 1: is ay, Yeah, William Shatner, and I was trying to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: think because his handler came out and said, Okay, don't
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: hug him, don't walk behind him. He's probably not going
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to talk to you. He's ninety four. So he kind
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of looked like, I don't want a combination if I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: don't want to be here and I don't know why
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I'm here, and you know, don't shake his hand, blah
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. And I'm like, okay, I've heard
• 9:59

• 10:02
  Speaker 1: gonna say anything I'm just not gonna I'm just gonna
• 10:05

• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the other side of him, and as we're leaving, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: just turned around. I don't even I just blurted out,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I said love you, Bill, and he goes thanks, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: that was it. It was just such a weird but
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: kind of cool moment. And I wasn't you know, I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: not a big Original series fan. I'm not a real
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: huge William Shatner fan. But my wife is the one

• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I am a huge Star Trek fan.
• 10:39

• 11:11
  Speaker 1: There was a I had to buy the take. It's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: what's weird the way Creation does it. They don't let
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you pay when you get there. You have to pay
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: online first and then present an e take after taxes
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and fees, it was about one hundred and eighty dollars.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so Dan One.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: The way they were charging for signatures and autographs and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: things was weird. Like if you did if you wanted
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: them to sign an eight by ten, whether you bought
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it from them or not, it was a set price.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But if you wanted them to sign like like an
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: action figure or a ship or a model, it was
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: like twenty bucks more.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because you'll throw it up on eBay.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That's what they're is that the okay yea yeah. Well
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I presented them with like had the had the shat,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: got the picture with the shat. But I also gott
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I probably posts us on the Facebook group, but I
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: met I met Tim russ oh nice and I had
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: him sign it because I met Garrett Wang before, so
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I had him sign it. This is the photo that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: we took back in two thousand and two, and you'll
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: notice that my wife is standing next to Captain Janeway nice.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So and got that and then I got Brent Spiner
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to uh to sign that one. So and I've also
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: got Jonathan Fraake's and Gates Gates McFadden was there in fact,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Brent Speiner noticed that Gates McFadden had signed this and said, hey, Gates,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: check this out. He had you signed this back in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a few years ago. And she's like, oh yeah, I said, yeah,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: it was in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She goes, oh yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody was super pleasant. Brent Spiner was a delight. The
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: woman that plays Admiral nicheyev is exactly the opposite of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: her character, super warm. He was acting super friendly. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: just walked over there. I wasn't even gonna you know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I was tapped out financially from autographs and things. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at her. I'm looking at her booth,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and there was nobody there at the time, and I

• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I got an army head on. She goes, well, thank
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you for your service. Blah blahlah. I said, tell me
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: about the you know. She's like, I'm a big supporter
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of the military and the Wounded Warrior blah blah blah,
• 13:33

• 13:53
  Speaker 1: co host of a Star Trek podcast called track Cast,
• 13:56

• 14:11
  Speaker 5: to have Danie'll do it just.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: To know, well, just to set things up. I mean,
• 14:16

• 14:49
  Speaker 5: So she knows. She knows characters, she doesn't know their names,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: so she'll she'll say, oh, that's you know, that's the
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: person who was in that episode that well blah blah

• 15:59
  Speaker 1: well more than halfway through it. I'd never been to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I hadn't been to a Creation I don't know if
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the one in twenty twenty two. I don't think the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: one in twenty twenty two was a Creation event, but
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it was. It was set up completely different now that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I know, you know the same place. Uh No, this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was at the Ohmer. It was in Rosemont. It wasn't
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: at the same place. It was not at the McCormick Center.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: It was right at the Hyatt, one of the airport yat.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: So the one we went to was when Paramount decided
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: to terminate, We're going to do Creation's contract and we're
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: going to do them ourselves. And I think that only
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: lasted one or two.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because then Seattle and they never went.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So is uh is the Creation Show the Official
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Star Trek Convention again, or is it just Creation.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Arch Official Star Trek Convention. Maybe Paramount just would all
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the shit that's going on with them. They just said,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you know what, I don't even want to mess with it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised that they do decide to do
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: their own cons in the future.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Just with how much it looks like Terna Amount is
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: trying to control everything.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: So because it's working out great so far.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Well right now, it's still early days, but like a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: few years from now, I can keep them putting on
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: their own I know.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I one funny story with Brent Spiner. I I told him,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a host of Star Trek podcast. And
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: at this point in the con I had been approached
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: by maybe half a dozen people. And I'm sorry if
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I forgot some of your names, but I posted as
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: many pictures I could tag yourselves in the Facebook group
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and I'd been recognized by about half a dozen people.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, which public, which was weird, you know, hey, hey, yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: One person came up to me said, Jordie sent me,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: which was a new joke from listening to the show,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, so it was weird. So I'm joking with
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Brent Spiner, who's a you know, a jokester, and I said,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I'm a host to start co host to start your podcast,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and uh, somebody said, I think my wife said you've
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: already yeah, You've already been recognized. And I looked at
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Brent and I'm like, yeah, so I pretty much feel
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the way you feel like every day, you know, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I I handed him handed with trek Cast sticker, I said,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and I had seen a couple of people hand him
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a card or business card or something like that. I said,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: here's something else for you to throw away. He grabs it,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: he throws it behind him, turns, Rob reaches back, grabs
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: him a dead But yeah, everybody was was super cool,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: super pleasant, a little bit of a kerfuffle when we
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: first got there. I went up and I said, Hi,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: my name is Scott and this is my This is Desiree. Uh.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: We're from truck Cast. We're on your list. And she
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: went down the list. What an organization you with, I said,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: trek Cast. And then I brought up an email from
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: their main guy and I said, I've got an email. Here.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: She goes forget it. Here's a couple of passes, like okay,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that worked out.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: That's that's what happened to us. CBS one really yeah,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: really yeah, same thing. They didn't remember us until I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: pull up the email and they're like, oh, okay, here
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you go here.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Because it seems like with all these comic cons and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and like the Grand Rapids Comic Con has been great
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: with you know, the passes and everything, and I've tried
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to do as much talking about them as I can
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and promoting and everything, and and I tried to talk
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: about the Creation podcast as much as I can. But
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it seems like every year it gets closer and closer
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to the event before they send out the emails, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: then it gets closer and closer like and closer to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the event before we get or I get a confirmation.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So I've got that personality where I start wringing my
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: hands and overthinking it. And did they did they see
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a Trek cast where they hated me? Or is it
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not invited anymore? No, they just just fell through
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the crags.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it works.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: But it was a good time. It was a good,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: good good.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you had a good time. Should we get
• 20:12

  Speaker 5: fake Starfleet?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Okay, she fakes getting hurt all the time,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: so it should be fine.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: So she does say that she grew up watching Star Trek.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: She's from Ireland and so she says that she watched
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: it in Ireland all the time.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, Dan disappeared.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: She's sick of this news story already.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: He's like, he's like all these fakes and not gonna
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: be a fake Star Trek host. And you ever go,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: yeah exactly with Yeah, that's her first look, people were
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: pretty excited about this. Uh you know, for me as
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a giant wrestling fan, it's cool that that she's on there.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I haven't been this excited for a wrestler to be
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: on Star Trek since the Rock on Voyager, so gotta
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: love it. Maybe the Big Show on Enterprise, I don't know.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: All right, Our next news story comes to us from
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Trek court dot com. Let me pull up this article.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: We were getting an update. Do you remember that Star
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Trek Voyager documentary that was supposed.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: To happen yes years ago, I've been yeah right now.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is like one point three million dollars.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: They have showed a rough cut to some of their
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: backers already, but they do say they are still working
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: on it. They are still trying to get it done
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: and so it is still moving along, and they just
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: wanted people to remember, hey, we said we would do this,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and we are going to do it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, well they're also warning against apparently there's
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: like something floating around YouTube that's just a fan made
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: scene cut, you know, yeah, cut scenes from from Voyager
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that they're saying, this is the this is the Voyager documentary.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's not it. Yeah, this is this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: is happening even a longer and more dramatic, like you know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: out of the gate than even what we left behind.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Well, and the other thing too is like the longer
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: this goes, the more their costs are because it's going longer. Sure,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: so that's another problem. I'll probably have to look at
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: raising money again. So it's it's a problem the longer
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: this goes. So hopefully they can get it together and
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: get it done. But that's that's the wild thing about
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: these documentars. Sometimes they take a life of their own
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: and it's a completely different thing. So I just wanted
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: to share that update.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And then it's gonna be a trek Cast documentary, that's right,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: And then our last news story comes to us from
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: the Gaming Bible, you know, my favorite news source. And
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you know, but this Black Friday,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: there was a certain enterprise for sale at Lego stores
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: for about four hundred dollars and it totally sold out
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: within minutes. Yeah, that the big Enterprise D. Everybody wanted
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: the D.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Every every good.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Boy and girl wanted the D for Christmas, and it
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: sold out quickly. That little like bonus shuttle craft that
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: that went out to pretty quick. So last I saw
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: they have restocked, so hopefully you can catch some. But
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: you're not going to get the shuttle craft. You just
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: get the D so no bonus.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know we can.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Get your enterprise, get your D.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I suppose if we could, we could crowdfund it, you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: get the record of twelve dollars to uh, you know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: pay for all three of us to get it. But
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I you know, I novelty versions of other things is
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: not my biggest thing. You know. I wouldn't even be
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: hip on Plane, Star Wars Star. I mean, I would
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: play Star Trek Monopoly, but in the back of my
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: mind I would just be thinking about you know, Boardwalk
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: instead of you know, Star bas One whatever.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It's like Sheldon said on Big Bang Theory, I don't
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: like novelty versions of Monopoly. I prefer regular and Klingon.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: But I love Legos. I wish I said this on
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the show before. I wish I played with Legos more
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: as a kid and an adult than I do. I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: have some Legos, but you know, they're a great toy.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They're just insanely expensive.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not for.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Me, man, Yeah, I thought it. Yeah, I thought about it. No,
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: I don't like the Lego figure.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: They look awful. If I were to get a four
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars version of the Enterprise D, I would want
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to make it as accurate as possible, detailed as possible,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: which obviously yes, right, I would like to you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: maybe someday I'll buy a, like from eBay or something,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: an Enterprise D model and put it together myself.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: And well, it's gonna be a double express.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: On I'm sure, I'm sure, but that's what I would
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: rather have than a Lego version.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I went to a toy show in early November and
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: they had it was the Enterprise like want to be
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: like pretend Legos, but from a they did like Kelvin
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: movie Lego sets. They were it was like another ber Yeah,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: they had the Enterprise from that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Yep, I have that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And it was like they were selling it in
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: the box still brand new, like one s And I
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: thought about it, but yeah, mhmm.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's that's yeah, that's that's expensive.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I mean that's yeah.

  Speaker 1: no stereo.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's probably what. Oh I bet that's what
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: it is with Dan and why he doesn't hear the audio.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I bet that's all right If I drop out, I apologize.
• 28:47

• 28:53
  Speaker 4: So our main topic we were talking Star Trek Con.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: It was an audio drama that was released on basically
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: on podcast feeds. So it started uh, let's see. It
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: was released September eighth, went all the way through November.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: It starred a lot of big star Trek names. George
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: d Kay was part of it, Tim Russ was part
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: of it, But the big star of the show was
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Naveen Andrews as Con. He is better known as what's
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: his name? The guy from from Lost? Right, wasn't he?
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: And Lost?
• 29:34

• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I think he did a great job as con.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: The premise of this is what that that there's like
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: some lost tapes telling the true story of what happened
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: on SETI off.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Of five, right, and there's a there's a historian that
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: wants to wants to get a hold of these lost tapes.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: And there's some people and startfully, they aren't happy about it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: especially friends with Captain Kirk, because they think that past. Yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: why are you digging up this past? Are you? Are
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you trying to you know, say, why would you say
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: good things about this man that you know hurt our
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: friend and try to kill our friend and stuff like.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: That, right yeah, yeah, yeah, And like even even Georgia
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Kay is like, I don't want anything to do with
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: this guy.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Conn was the worst. Yeah, So it's kind of interesting.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: So it takes place on the Excelsory.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: You're there's no Ving Andrews. For those of you who
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: are wondering, that's it's that guy. So yeah, Dan, did
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: you get a chance to listen to this not at
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: all or any of them?
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: I didn't.

  Speaker 1: Podcasts are a thing that if if your lifestyle, if
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you're the way like your life happens. If you have
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a tiny commute to work, and then at work you
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: don't have access to electronics or something like that, it's
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: difficult to listen to a lot of podcasts. I drive
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a semi so I can listen to a lot of podcasts.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I get so bored. I listened to this podcast.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Pretty bored because I've listened to this podcast.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, nobody's a bigger critique of me
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: than me. I I I get anyways, but uh, yeah,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm a pretty big critic of myself. But so
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I've got tons of time to listen to podcasts, and.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: So I yeah listen to them too.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So I you know, you may commune to work, but
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: then you get to work and you work retail or
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you work you know something that you can't you know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: have pop headphones in and it's difficult to listen to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: two podcasts just sitting there on your couch. Yeah.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: No, I listened to a lot of different podcasts, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: so I got to listen to this, and uh and.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it. I think it may be up
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: there with like actually good News Star Trek that's fairly recent.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was a good story.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: It's it's only like nine episodes. Each episode super longer
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: then maybe half an hour when you take out the commercials.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I listened to it on YouTube.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's another place to listen to it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And I didn't there weren't any commercials, so right, right, yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I just listened to on YouTube.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: And isn't it?
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Isn't it a commercial itself?
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: A waiting game says, is this connected at all to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the strange New War episode where Lin and Kirk Lane
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: leaves the freaking gun in the kid CON's room? No,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: this is this is not that I saw any connection to.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Is it connected at all to Picard season two where
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: they teased the con project or or whatever it was?
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: This was. I believe this was uh completely only connected
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: with uh Star Trek two and and uh uh space Seed.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, so they're tying up a thread that wasn't loose,
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: and the loose ones as is.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: You know how like you you watch an you watch
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: an episodic version of a thing, and then you watch,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: let's say Smallville, you watch an episodic version of a thing,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you know, ten seasons or something, and then you watch
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a movie version of thing and it's like, holy crap.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: A lot went on in these episodes, yea, and not
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of backstory went on in the movie. You know,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this villain lasted for seventeen years, but in the movie
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: he was on screen for seven minutes and it was
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: killed off. That's what this did for Khan. It explained
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: his motivations. It explained why he became such an asshole.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: It explained why he was so emotional about Kirk and
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: about what happened. And to be honest with you, you're
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: not not on CON's side for a majority of this show.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And it is based on a story by nickola I.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Don't know if you sympathize with him, but you definitely
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: empathize with him.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you empathize with them.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: But it is based on a story by Nicholas Myers,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: the writer of Wrath Khan, so that kind of helps too.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: So it does duktail to that pretty well. He didn't
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: write all the scripts for this, but it's like, I
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: guess he told him a story or whatever and they
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: based off of that. But yeah, it's it's put on
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: by by a secret hideout who is the Kurtsman Company,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: and surprisingly that this thing is pretty good, kind of
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: emotional in some parts and without having a crying characters,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: which is kind of amazing. Yep, yeah, it's it's they
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: deal with human emotions like humans do. And uh, it's
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: it's really well done. I think it's no, it's no
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: for cards season three, but it's it's pretty high up
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: there though. It's pretty you know, yeah, it's among the
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: better stuff that we received recently.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: So, so it starts out the story takes place over
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: many many years from the time of basically the end
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: of Space Seed the first season episode. We're kind of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and his crew are introduced all the way to what
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: is it six months after the events of Star Trek
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: two something along those lines. So, and it also jumps
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: back and forth between City Alpha five and the Excelsior,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: which Captain Sulu commands, right, but we also learn and
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Voyager that Tuvac was on the Excelsior, So there's interactions
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: between Sulu, Tuvac, and this historian trying to get and
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: then the.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Other thing about that is like typically when they bring
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: on the legacy characters like that, it takes forever until
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: they show up and they show up for like two
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: minutes and then they're out right. It's just enough to
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: say that they're in there. But these guys like Tim Ross,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Georgia k they're in there quite a bit. Granted it's
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: an audio drama, so they probably were in a studio
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: for an afternoon and done, but they're in there quite
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: a bit. So it's kind of nice. It spread them
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: through the entire series, so it's good to hear them
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: quite a bit.
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So what's disappointing. What's disappointing about hearing this,
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: it's that, if I remember correctly, this was originally written
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: to be.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: A mini series yes, okay, yes, and then went on.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: And it sounds like probably would have been pretty good,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: but instead we got section thirty one rights, which is,
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: as we all know, a steaming pile of trash.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: So yep, I think I think I can get myself
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: in the head of the studio. And why it went
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: that route, here's my my just complete guess I did it.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I wasn't in the meetings, but my thought is you
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: had Michelle Yo, which just won the Oscar, and they said, hey,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: we have a brand new Oscar winner, or we have
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: old actors who don't look like their characters when we
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: could do a mini series.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not suggesting they should have used George Takay
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: and Tim Ross. I think it would have been most
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: appropriate to recast those those roles. Yeah, yeah, I don't
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: know the characters. This was only you know they section
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: thirty one. I think we did the math and it
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: was a few decades after we last saw her. I
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: supposed to have passed, right, Yeah, okay, well it was
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: only another decade or so until this takes place. Right,
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: they could have had her in this as that character.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: You can't tell me you can't come up with a
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: subplot involving section thirty one in this story that you
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: just described. These tapes that Starfleet doesn't want um out.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: That's like right in their wheelhouse, hidden tapes. But yeah,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: I know, yeah, the idea that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: The idea that there, it's the twenty third century and
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: it's tapes that crust.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Well we say tapes because of us.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: But I think they say tapes in the original series.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Every time every time I watch a New Hope and
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: that guy is dressing down Vader in the conference room
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: and he SAIDs talking about the stolen data tapes. I'm like,
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: you know, I mean, you made Grito shoot first, but
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: you can't like dub that out making a thumb.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Drive or something data rods or data something chips or anything. Yeah. Yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I like the the The voice casting was great. There
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: was a couple of times I thought that the main
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: woman who was an augment and doctor or Marlon mcgifford's
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: mcgivens who was the original she the trader of the
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Enterprise because she went with con I thought that they
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: sounded an awful lot alike, so it was difficult to
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: talk to each other. Yea, who is who? I uh again?
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: And I've said this before in the show. I turned
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: my brain off when I listened to stuff like this.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: So most surprises at the end, and I'm not gonna
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: give away the big surprise reveal, but there's a surprise
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: reveal at the end. I I caught that it does
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: change things a little bit. And I caught that just
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: before they revealed it. I'm like, oh, I bet that.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: And I was right, Like every time every time I'm
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: right about a plot point, I'm like, yeah, I'm not
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: the dumbest guy in the room.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: I had an Inklean early on, uh that that there
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: as a relationship, but sure as to the nature of
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: the relationship that I didn't get that I didn't clock until.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, they could definitely continue on that, depending
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: on if they consider this a shackle to Cannon or
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: just a light bondage to Canon, you know, if they
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: have right right so you know, I get zip ties
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: maybe you know.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I can I can accept this stand
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: what's happening right now.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we've talked about them not being shackled to
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Cannon anymore. They've they've literally said that, and so we're like, okay, well,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: how about you know, just lightly, you know, connecting yourself
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: to Cannon every once in a not making a section
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: thirty one and a Captain Garrett that makes zero sense chronologically.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Let's do that, you know, because they're writers and they
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: can do that. I've heard that writers are pretty good
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: at figuring out stories around another.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Some of them are, some are not.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, I I I could accept this
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: as Cannon. Yeah, so, uh, the introduction of the other
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: species was interesting.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: That was interesting as well.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yep, I thought their accents was a little I wasn't
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: a fan of their accents because they sounded a little
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamaican was a weird choice.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: It was was it it was It was an earth
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: accent y kind of thing, almost New Jersey or something.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: It was not.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was different, different.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was an interesting kind of a little
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: plot thing. I'm glad they didn't make I'm glad they
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: made them powerful, but not all powerful, you know.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: So Con was a dick, but not really like he
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: had reasons and he kind of explained his logic and
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: it made sense.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the by the time, by the time Chekhov
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: got him in Star Trek two, he had already descended
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: into madness, you know, because of everything you've been through,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: everything they'd lost, because he lost uh huh.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of fun.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he lost a lot more than he said in
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Star Trek two, but he didn't have any reason to
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: say it to Kirk in Star Trek two. So they
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that they stuck the cannon pretty well.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: And as far as I know, I don't know a
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: ton about space or the backstore, how many people were.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: On there, but I really liked it. Dan, I would
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: recommend listening to it. I think you'd enjoy it.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I might. I might give it a shot.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And because this is basically audiobook.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: It's an hour, so four and a half hours total.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: But the radio plays, you know.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing I was going to talk
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: about talk like this, and it's when I'm listening to
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: things on the road.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I'm listening to on his way, we must find him
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: right away.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: You can do, right, Yeah, you sound like you could
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: play like a Commissioner Gordon from the nineteen forties, well,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Batman or Superman. But you know, there's there's the audio books,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: and these stories are a little bit different because it's
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: not one person reading the entire story. But I've been
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: doing some reading up on the difference between reading a
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: book and listening to a book, and cognitively they're about
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the same. So you know, it's hard for me to
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: my attention span to you know, and for time reasons
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: to sit there and read a book, But listening to
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: an audiobook I can do that. And from what I've read,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: that activates the same centers of your brain, educational centers
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: your brain that reading does.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Right, So, yeah, I really enjoyed this thing. It was
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: really good. So I wouldn't mind if they did this
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: more often with Star Trek, especially now with you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: our legacy actors are a little bit older, so you
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: can get away with more stories going this route. I'm
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: sure it's cheaper too than.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Production costs. Can't be too much. I mean, yeah, yeah,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you come in and record all your lines
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: all at once, and you're you're done. I mean, George
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: d Ka couldn't have been in that booth for more
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: than an hour?
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, probably not. Maybe you know, have our or
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: you know four our recession between everything, so whatever, but
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: it was well done, and I hope they do more
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: of these things. What would you like to see in
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: the future, Well, like what kind of audio dramas well?
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Probably not a continuation because the story's done. You know
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: another Hey, let's look at this again. Let's look at
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that again. There's so many strings that can be tugged
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: on or even you know, I know, Dan mentioned they
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: tugged at a string that wasn't you know, loose. Okay,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: but there's it's still interesting stories out there. Iand I
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: can't really think of anything, but you know.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: That that audio that Archer show we keep hearing about
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: with him being older and his kids.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: He's the president. I wouldn't mind snooping along those lines.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: That'd be kind of interesting.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: Sure you can't get Scott Beckuler to do a show.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: Maybe you do a story about that.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I'd listened to it.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we do it all about.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: It and we convinced Dan to listen to it too.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: There you go, there you go, all right, anything can happened.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Christmas miracle, he listens. Christmas Christmas Miracle will be like
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: if we get through.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Academy, Hey, we could be we could be way off. Yes,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: could drop and it could be like you know, strange
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: New World season one or Percard season three. It's like, wow,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: this is like the best trek as. Yeah, yeah, maybe
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: maybe I.
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: Want to I really want to be alsop is better
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: than no hope at all.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Fake fake enthusiasm is better than genuine depression.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: When does that start?
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: January?
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: When does that start January?
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: January fifteenth?
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I think, okay, Yeah, Waiting Game says, what about a
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: story about Tom Paris after voyage you got back to Earth?
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: That might be cool? Yes, And I told this on
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: on the show before I did a chat GBT story
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: about the hours after, you know, not years or months,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: but like the minutes and hours after voyage, it gets
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: back like how does that work? You know? What? What
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: are the what are the first questions they want to ask? What?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: What is that first meeting? Like? Yeah, and Jack GBT
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: with with with a little bit of a guidance for me,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: came up with kind of a fun little story that
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I bet could be turned into a an audio thing.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well let's get back to listener feedback then,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: since we're pretty much done with this.
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: Listener feedback.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, I did hear both the music and the voice
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: on that one. Can you I don't know if you
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: have the ability? Can you play fun will now commence?
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: No? Just from no? Okay the video?
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: You want me to play that?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Just I know this is good pod, but I
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: just wanted to see if my.
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: Fun will now comment?
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard both things, all of.
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: Them help you feel goods?
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Whatever?
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Dan, did you hear fun will now commence along with
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: the music? Uh?
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: Fun will now commences at the beginning of that clip? Right? Yeah, Okay,
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: So I don't know how it is for you guys,
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: but when you play a clip like that, it automatically
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: mutes the audio for me, and I have to reach
• 49:43

  Speaker 1: It's a Hello strong Beard. Just checked out your Nemesis
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: edition of Trek Cast.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: He said he loved the mention of Jerry Goldsmith and
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: it being his last Trek score and close to the
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: end of you know, close to the end of his life.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: I totally understood that he part of another podcast that's
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: like the anti Ussis.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Track cast Nemesis, very predictable, very predictable.
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: Always stick to the script.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: That's always chat is.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Right, pull some deep ones now, he goes. I'm a
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: big Goldsmith collector and fan as am. I. He was
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: awesome and I continue to enjoy his music track and otherwise.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: It was great to hear him brought up in the
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: episode you talking about me, suggested his son Joel, who
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: did come in to help with First Contact. Jerry had
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: some scheduling problems and over some over another film might
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: be a good idea to compose Future Trek. I said that,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I said his son Joel. Yeah, Joel passed away in
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve of cancer, so I didn't know that, So
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: rest in peace. Joel Goldsmith, big fan of you and
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: your father. So he goes out to say, therefore, I
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: think it's unlikely he's to compose anything trust in the future.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: But he loved for the First Contact team up and
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: he's a fan of the podcast and we'll be listening always.

  Speaker 1: was you know, Natalie who plays Niceev. She was just
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: so warm and friendly and you know, not at all
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: because we've all been to conventions and stuff like that
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: and comic cons and stuff and just not at all standoffish.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, she supports the troops, which I dig

• 58:22
  Speaker 1: laughs all the time. He's a character and so and
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: like I said, I missed a lot of the panels
