0:19
posts. That sounds sound like you're in choppers and it's just you and me.
0:24
Now, oh we lost them, We lost them already. We had
0:28
Chad. I don't know if anybody heard of the background noise. That's because
0:32
Chad was up in Chopper four. He was great. He was gonna be
0:36
given live traffic updates on seventy. And you sound like you're a little bit
0:40
underwater right now? I do, yeah a little bit? Is that better?
0:46
SpongeBob here, let me back in. That usually does the trick.
0:54
If not, I'll jiggle it. Okay, that does it the guys,
1:00
that does it? So good good. I would like you to address me
1:07
as lieutenant in junior grade. Look, look who already? What did I
1:11
tell you? What did I tell you? What did I tell you?
1:17
He said you said it? You said it, so Scott did. Just
1:21
said if if Chad drops out, I guarantee Scott we'll chime in and say
1:26
he's available. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's give
1:34
let's give chat another minute to reconnect and uh, if not, you know,
1:42
we got the other guy. Yeah, that's true. I just sent
1:47
him the league. Are you how am I doing? Yeah? All right,
1:57
yeah yeah, rude on, yeah, I'm all right. I did
2:02
not get to watch the the super short trucks because I'm yeah, I'm an
2:09
idiot, and I you know, spent an hour looking forward on Paramount Plus,
2:14
even even though it was a YouTube. Right, well, they were
2:19
no, no, no, but you were clear. You sent me a
2:21
link, and like an idiot, I looked forward somewhere else instead of sticking
2:24
back and clicking on the link that that my boy Daniel sent me back.
2:30
Hey, we got chopper four. What's the traffic? Uh? What's the
2:34
traffic on I seventy Right now? Traffic is smooth, although very heavy.
2:38
After the closure of the bridge at Rosport, which was scheduled for a seven
2:43
am demolition, didn't happen until eight thirty five, which caused a backup on
2:49
Ice seventy, both lanes, both sides, both directions for at least four
2:52
and a half miles. Several pore spotted trying to cross the medium, but
2:57
they couldn't because of the gates that were put up on the medium, and
3:00
you couldn't even go over the overpass bridge in front of the bridge ahead of
3:04
Roshport because they closed that as well, because they're just that way. Anyway,
3:14
stay with us at the top of the hour for all the local news.
3:17
We'll have weather on the sevens with Daniel. There you go, there
3:21
you go. It's nice back to you. That's the chopper. That was
3:29
just hip. Yeah, you could do the hippie dippie weathermans. Get where
3:32
you do the It's sunny and DC at seventy two degrees at six thirty at
3:38
nine in Baltimore, it's six forty nine. Do you want me to feel
3:44
like the TV news weatherman bit because I haven't worked it a little bit about
3:49
that exactly exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So you know, like all the
3:53
weather stations or TV stations be like, oh, we have our doppler blah
3:55
blah blah radar. What they don't they don't know, they don't now,
4:00
it's one from the National Weather Service. They all use the same one.
4:03
They all read the same reports. They just make graphics. That's it,
4:06
yep, yep. And the other thing is the ten day forecast is a
4:12
scam. Yep. The seven day forecast is a scam. The five day
4:16
forecast is a scam. Yeah, seventy two hours, that's about the most.
4:21
Yeah, they could predict weather reliably. I used to have a weather
4:26
guy who would be like, just went outside, because that's what he would
4:32
do. Oh boy, you know, I just want to I just this
4:39
is the only right wing conspiracy theory I'm gonna throw out on today's show.
4:43
But if you can't predict the weather past three days, then how do you
4:46
know that the Earth is round? That's all I'm gonna say. What what
4:51
Lad Earth? Or Chad? What's what? Come on? Come on?
4:57
I do I do want to I do want to say this. I do
5:00
want to say this. And this is all seriousness. And I know I
5:01
speak for Dan when I say this to you. Daniel. First, first
5:05
off, don't ever speak for me, never ever ever. Oh if I'm
5:13
gonna make an ass of myself, No, You're gonna Dan, You're gonna
5:17
love it. This is gonna love this, Okay, Daniel. I just
5:21
gotta say this. I know I say it sometimes in our text between the
5:26
three of us, but I feel like I need to say it live on
5:29
air right now for everybody to understand. And here, I'm so scared right
5:32
now, do not know what this is the great thing about me. I
5:36
have no idea what I'm gonna say. No, Daniel, you put in
5:41
so much effort for this show every single day of every single week. You
5:46
do a lot. You do And I'm serious, I say, you do
5:48
it ton for this show to make it to the point to where Dan and
5:53
I can literally just phone it in on a Sunday. Yeah. So,
5:58
And I just want to say thank you for that because you continuously do it.
6:00
You don't, you never complain. I try to help when I can.
6:03
I know Dan tries to help when we can, but it's very difficult
6:06
with our different schedules. I don't do any Yeah. Yeah, so,
6:15
No, I just wanted to say thank you, buddy. It's awesome.
6:16
I agree. This is the one time Chad does does speak for me.
6:20
Daniel is. Daniel is the Miles O'Brien of this of this decrepit old Cardassian
6:30
space station. We like it, Hault track, cast Aways, breaking down
6:36
whatever. The other one is, yea, yea, the Daniel Show.
6:43
Yeah, there you go. It's not just tilting on its side, it's
6:45
upside down. Oh for sure. A strong beard has joined us as well.
6:50
He's right there. Hello. I like I like how strong Beard looks
6:58
at chat he goes, hello, what is Yeah? What is Chad doing
7:02
here? Yeah? You all know I'm not needed for I'm not needed for
7:06
this show. I mean he's have to have Daniel, but you don't have
7:10
to have me. He's a he's a special guest today. Well for those
7:15
of the audience that's watching this, you know, live on YouTube, I
7:17
mean, you're depriving us of his beautiful face. So it's true, that's
7:21
true. That's right, that Haroline. That would make Captain Pike jealous.
7:27
Absolutely. I mean I might have a strong beard, but Chad Yours is
7:33
a you know, not too bad. It's there, it's there. Should
7:39
we get to the news. Oh sure, So we're doing a show,
7:46
all right, first news story rant and they had to exclusive interview with one
7:53
of the producers and one of the directors for Lower Deck, kind of giving
7:57
us a preview what we're going to steak coming up get joint season. They
8:01
have promised a lot of enterprise references, and we saw a few of them
8:07
in the current Apparently we're going to see a lot more. Another admit that
8:11
they dropped is that Connor Tran aka Trip Yes track in one of the very
8:20
lower depths. You're you're cutting out. Buddy Connor Trenier will be back in
8:26
one of the very short tracks. Oh okay, yeah, so cool.
8:33
That should be cool. Excited about that. He's my favorite character from Enterprise.
8:37
Yeah yeah, I mean other than Porthos, well, other than Porthos
8:41
obviously, yeah right, so yeah, it should be fun to have him
8:45
back. Also, earlier this week was Star Trek Day for those of you
8:50
who celebrate MASLTOF and and the way some of these Star Trek actors celebrated is
8:58
they took to the picket lines outside of Paramount Pictures and they were there for
9:05
quite a while, you know, doing the strike for for writers and actors,
9:09
and so that was just something a little tidbit. And then also announced
9:13
on Star Trek Day, I'm I know, Chad, you love Kid Cutty
9:18
and he's going to be collaborating with Star Trek. Who Yeah, yeah,
9:24
kid Cutty. He's a rapper, rapper, singer kind of guy. He's
9:30
got all sorts of different hits, ask your kids. But he's a huge
9:37
yeah I know you're talking about Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a huge
9:39
treky allegedly and be collaborating we're treking this sometime in October with some sort of
9:45
fashion line that meets Star Trek, which okay, yeah, okay, were
9:52
talking like underwear. They have not said any of that. We don't know
9:56
what it is. The franchise will be called Boldly b. It's part of
10:01
the Boldly Be campaign. There's mostly gonna be some sort of gaming element to
10:05
it as well, whatever that means. If I can get uh farankie tuxedo
10:11
like Cork Wears, then I'm I'm down right right, So there you go.
10:18
You might be able to get that. Who knows. So it's gonna
10:22
have a game. The clothing is gonna have a gaming element. Is that
10:24
what you're saying. I don't know man, that they're just saying there's a
10:26
gaming element to it. Star Trek fans already have a reputation. Do we
10:31
need to further than Yeah? All I can think of is there used to
10:35
be like in the early early Cousins there was a clothing line called Decode and
10:41
like all the shirt designs had like some sort of hidden code within them,
10:48
and you would go to their website and if you would type in the code
10:50
first, then you would get like it was like a scavenger hunt to win
10:54
prices. So that's how they sold the shirts. That's the only gaming element
10:58
I can think of. But I don't know. So we're all gonna be
11:05
walking around in these T shirts and people are just gonna be like randomly walking
11:07
up to us and scanning us with their phones. I guess it's like,
11:11
oh, you're a Star Trek fanto, Hey listen to the trick cast,
11:16
so you could scan the shirt while it's on the rack. Now you could
11:20
buy the shirt, yeah, or you? I mean all I could think
11:24
is maybe some sort of VR element, like you know, use your phone
11:28
and you see some sort of graphic topops up because of the image starts it.
11:33
I don't dan, just my mind went to someplace completely different with this
11:39
than where you guys are. I was thinking more of like a Star Trek
11:43
theme for all, and then you have to play that game of figuring out
11:46
how the fuck the class come off anyway, Okay, that is an eternalness,
11:56
all right. I guess we're gonna have like a M for mature disclaimer
12:01
at the beginning of I guess, yeah, it's early. There's a sea
12:07
for chat and I actually forgot you can curse on this show, because there's
12:11
been some pack lad reviews where I'm like, oh, I want to say
12:13
the word, you know, hell or shit or yeah, yeah, we're
12:18
try and keep it. The first thirty seconds have to be clear or clean.
12:22
After that, okay, yeah, I still try and keep it.
12:28
I always still try to keep it clean. But I was there was one
12:31
a couple of months ago where I was like, this would be really funny
12:33
if I could like bleep out an apparent curse word. So wait, hold
12:35
on a minute, hold on him in Yeah, those those pacled reviews are
12:39
you It's a collaboration. It's a collaboration. Okay, alright, alright,
12:46
okay, come on, damn do that to me. There are people watching
12:52
me. Excuse me, excuse me. You will address me as lieutenant junior
12:58
grade. Yes, if you don't see this here, how many pips do
13:03
you see? Alright and a half? How many time? Yeah? Yeah,
13:09
you know what they say. Pipping ain't easy. Okay, show me
13:13
the proper respect. He out of all of us, I'm the only one
13:16
wearing official Trek cast merch. Okay, I'll have you know, I'll have
13:22
you know. I don't want to hear about your underwear. This is an
13:26
exclusive numbered treck Cast bandana. Uh huh from the Phoning from the Phoning at
13:33
in collection. Yeah, Chad, tell us about your underwear. You're wearing
13:37
treck Cast underwear. Right. No, I've got the camera off because I'm
13:39
driving naked. Oh okay, Right, he's on his way to a kind
13:48
of convention. He's on his way to a to a beata's head wedding.
13:56
Alright, story anyway, anyway, we're still doing the news. That's right.
14:03
And Star Trek had its first fan event ever in Beijing. Happened last
14:09
Saturday. Don't know numbers of how many people arrived, but there were a
14:15
few fans. They got to see some exhibits and it was fun for them.
14:18
You know. I guess Star Trek is growing in China. One thing
14:22
that I thought was interesting is they interviewed some of the fans that were there,
14:26
and one girl said that the whole reason she got into Star Trek is
14:31
because she watched it on Big Bang Theory and from there learned about it and
14:35
wow, yeah, well, you know that's funny because I never watched Bing
14:41
Bang, Bing Bang, I never watched I never watched Big Bang Theory.
14:46
Until someone someone texted me a screenshot from the episode where they get stranded in
14:54
the desert on their way to a Star Trek convention. Yes, and I
14:58
was like, what is this and they're like, oh, it's it's,
15:01
you know, the Big Bang Theory. I'm like, what is that?
15:03
I don't even know? And from there I watched that episode and then went
15:05
back to the beginning and watched the whole series. Oh wow, it's a
15:09
good series. And they're big Star Trek fans, and I've always thought that,
15:13
you know, I kind of relate to them, to the to the
15:16
characters. I'm big bang. But the problem is they're you know, theoretical
15:18
physicists and they work at the university, and but they're big nerds. And
15:22
I've always thought, you know, I have all of their weaknesses and none
15:28
of their strengths, but you have different strikes. That is true. That
15:33
is true. I have a strong beard. None of them have a stronger
15:37
beard. Yes, exactly, Jad. Did you get into a Big Bang
15:39
Theory? On and off? I watched. I watched a little bit here,
15:45
a little bit there. I haven't seen the entire thing all the way
15:46
through, but enough to know about quite a bit about the show. I've
15:52
only ever seen the clips and that's it. I'll tell you what if they
15:56
ever, if they ever reboot t n him Jim Parsons is data. That's
16:03
name, right, Jim Parola. Yeah, Jim Parsons, All right,
16:07
I could see that. Yeah. Well, let's let's get to the main
16:12
topic because we have show two shows and in a short track to review.
16:15
Oh my goodness, will now, So am I sticking around? I guess
16:27
yeah, I guess. Well. I wanted everybody to know this was not
16:33
planned. No, no, I don't know. You got plans, you
16:41
got plans. Yeah, that's right. I can't I can't read any of
16:49
the little pop ups by the way that are coming up. So if there's
16:52
something there I need to know, let me know, because I gentry says,
16:55
how many exits is Chad going to miss because of the podcast? I
16:59
haven't missed one. Yeah, I haven't. Got the matt pulled up on
17:02
the other phone, but it's muted, so you won't be able to hear
17:04
it. Call yet I'm gonna say we'd be able to hear it. We'll
17:07
let you know we heard it. We heard it during the pre show,
17:11
we heard it play in his day. Yeah, so awesome. Well,
17:18
we had a couple of st or lower decks premiered with two different episodes,
17:22
which is pretty neat. The first episode was called two vis and yeah it
17:36
was different. Man, They're just they do not care anymore and it's great.
17:45
Let me let me pull up the log lines real quick. So the
17:48
log line for two VIX was the sorrentos uh ensigns must assist a caretaker on
17:55
a voyage uh a caretaker of the Voyager on a historically significant Okay, the
18:00
Sterrito's entence must assist. I was trying to take a drink every time you
18:04
mispronounced the words. Let's just start with that. Sirito's ens must assist the
18:10
caretaker on a voyage of a historically significant starship. That's the log line.
18:15
Yeah, so I read that log line. Yeah, and is it just
18:19
me or if you put the word voyager and caretaker together, did you immediately
18:26
did you immediately first episode, the pilot episode, I did. Yeah.
18:30
I thought I thought it was gonna be a you know, a call back
18:33
to the caretakers, and it wasn't. No everything else, but yeah,
18:44
so basically they had to move the voyager. It was going to be a
18:48
new exhibit for the fleet music. I'd like to make a correction. It's
18:52
Voyager, not the Voyager, Okay, Voyager. And it was just full
18:59
of entner of of easter eggs the whole episode. We got to see clown,
19:03
we got to see uh, the guy from fair Haven. It was
19:07
a Michael Michael, Michael Sullivan Okay, Michael Sullivan. Yeah, there were
19:15
some I didn't I didn't know who that was for a while. It took
19:18
me a bit. Deep cuts there, Yes, there were some deep cuts
19:22
there. So when was it the same voice actor? Did they get him
19:26
for I don't know, curious, but there was there was a point.
19:32
There was a point where I think he was in the transporter room and he
19:34
had a towel and he wiped down the top of the transporter console just like
19:38
a bartender would wipe down the bar periodically. Okay. And then he said
19:45
I missed my wife. Yes, because Jane Way deleted the wife his wife
19:53
from the program. Yeah, because that was no problem. She has no
19:59
proble. I'm killing people, whether they're real people, two people, holographic
20:03
people, she just slaughters them. Mhmm. She's she's a straight up murderer.
20:08
She is I feel some kind of way about that, and look at
20:12
the research and try to figure out. Okay, let's figure out what Jane
20:15
Wade did. Then we'll have the answer. And like everybody's totally the guy
20:22
who was it Shacks, He's like, holy cows straight about that guy.
20:27
It doesn't mess around. Yeah. And they even had like the big bug
20:34
virus thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the macro virus was great.
20:41
Yeah, that's cool. The cheese, the cheese. They defeated the ship
20:45
with the cheese. Yeah. Yeah, Oh my god. This was this
20:48
episode was a love letter to Voyager. He was he really was Chaotica Proton.
20:57
The only thing I wish had they had done is when they did the
21:02
the intro themed a Voyager, they sort sort of hurried it up. It
21:06
was like it was done, and I'm like, I kind of wanted to
21:08
see more, Like when they did with the Deep Space nine episode on Lower
21:11
Decks. You know, it was sort of a long drawn out kind of
21:15
thing. Yeah, in fact, they made fun of it. They're like,
21:17
oh, just take another lap around the station again. I was hoping
21:19
for more music. That's exactly right. That's because they were poking fun and
21:23
how long that intro is and how many times you see the same shot right
21:29
right, right? And so with Voyager though, I mean I thought it
21:33
was kind of fun and funny that they spend it up. I think they
21:34
were making fun of it that way for the fact that they were just gonna
21:37
blitz right through it. That's a good point. Yeah, I didn't think
21:41
about that. Oh, we even saw the lizard babies. Yes, yes,
21:47
yes, they were like little animatronic Yeah. Yeah, that was great,
21:53
weren't those Oh yeah yeah no, And of course from the Board guy.
21:57
I'm getting both episodes a little bit mixed up in my head because I
22:00
watched him back to back. But yeah, yeah, they had the enclave,
22:04
the board enclaves, We're alive and yeah yeah, the alcove, the
22:08
alcove, although no mention of the board children, no, yeah, and
22:18
then yeah, well yeah, and then also part of the deal was that
22:22
Mariner did not want to accept her promotion and was looking for a way to
22:27
get out of it. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm only hard on you
22:33
because you make me hard. That's right, that's right, that's right.
22:40
And then we got the uh what is her name? The Vulcan character seems
22:45
like she was gonna be sticking around. Yeah yeah, I like her,
22:48
yeah yeah, but overall, yeah, what she what was she? How
22:53
did she get either demoted or stuck in that position? She was? She
22:56
was a transfer from a Valcan ship. Yeah right, but they didn't want
23:00
there because she was doing something oh irrational or they thought she wasn't logical enough.
23:04
Trying to remember that episode, Yeah, there's something. There was something
23:07
minor. It was like really minute what she did, and they're like,
23:11
oh, you are just you know, crazy emotion. Yeah yeah, yeah,
23:19
So what's interesting. She's she's wearing the provisional rank insignia, which is
23:26
what the Maquis on Voyager War they referred to her as provisional. She was
23:33
provisional and sign whatever her name was, right because she came from a Vulcan
23:38
ship, which leads to another question about like do the individual worlds still have
23:44
their own you know, are there still Vulcan ships? Are there still Beta
23:48
Zoid ships? Are there still? You know? I think there is,
23:53
Yeah, I think there is, but even star ships like in that d
23:57
space and take me out to the Hollow Suite, there was a Federation starfleet
24:02
ship. There was all Vulcan. Yeah, right, which is confusing to
24:07
me. Yeah, well, I don't know that it's confusing. It's it's
24:14
I mean, look at it this way. Look at look at look at
24:15
our own country. Right, so we still we fly F fifteens and the
24:22
British fly F fifteens. They call them something different, little bit different pain
24:25
job, but it's the same thing. We have aircraft carriers, they have
24:30
aircraft carriers, right. But yeah, there wasn't like a unit that was
24:34
all like, you know, one race and another. You know, it's
24:41
like, I'm just using the nationalities as the comparison, not race. Yeah,
24:44
I don't think that's I don't think that's a that's a fair comparison though,
24:48
I think you know, Okay, so we have the famous Tusky Airman.
24:52
We have them because of segregation, right, you know, we have
24:56
them. We honor them now, but at the time, you know,
25:00
it was it was terrible that this was a unit that was segregated down racial
25:08
lines, right exactly. So to think that in the twenty fourth to twenty
25:14
fifth century they're still doing stuff like that for whatever reason, seems so Valcans
25:19
are racing wrong, that's right. I guess that's what we could take away
25:23
from that, well, they looked down on everybody. That's true, so
25:27
sure, so sure, yeah, all right, And then the second episode
25:33
that we had was episode number two, I have no bones yet, I
25:37
must flee and the Yes, that's how it will be known as. And
25:47
it says tries to get promoted, Rutherford tries to get promoted, and Boimler
25:52
makes a big move. So no mention of the moopsiepsie. Dude, I
26:00
don't know if you saw my my quick reaction, but I predicted that the
26:03
moopsie was gonna be like huge and people were gonna want like stuffed animals and
26:07
things like that. I've already seen, like on social media people have like
26:12
stitched their own moopsies and they did one. I've seen a couple of those
26:17
already. Yeah, my wife wants stuffed one. Yeah. Yeah, there
26:22
there's yeah, there's going to be moopsie cosplay. Yeah, yeah, that's
26:30
going on. Yeah. I thought it was funny how they commented. They
26:37
commented about how humans are always being scooped up and placed in alien manastry.
26:41
Yeah, this is something that just happens. We make such great exhibits and
26:51
then uh oh, so this guy ensign Garry. Yeah. I thought they
26:59
kind of missed an opportunity here. I thought initially they said NSI and Carrie,
27:03
Oh and Joe carry from Voyager. He had children, he died,
27:11
you know, and uh he died at the end of season seven, but
27:14
he made it like all for the series. Oh he died. Uh it
27:23
gets so close and yet yeah. Yeah, so apparently grout is running.
27:29
I'm anasury now, what would you like a banana? I don't know,
27:33
Yeah, I am, I am grew sorry. Yeah, so Boiler Boimler
27:41
knows everything there is to know about Starfleet, but he doesn't know how to
27:45
how to close the window shade his new quarters. What didn't have it all?
27:52
You can't have it all? Oh? Man, Hey, I'm gonna
27:56
be the guy. Uh. Mariners pretty hot for cartoon, especially when she's
28:00
strutting around in her underwear. I'm just agreeing the guy who says, thanks,
28:07
thanks for backing me up on that. There again, I got you
28:11
back. Only half is creepy now or twice as creepy? Who knows?
28:18
I don't know the math. Yeah, but it was a fun episode.
28:26
Yeah. T Beer brings up the Mirror Universe Archer action figure that Boimler had.
28:32
Oh and he also agrees with you that man. Yep, that's right,
28:37
that's right, hot Mariner. How about the red filter Advisor t OS
28:45
reference? Yeah, I was. I thought I was the only truth thought
28:51
that. I don't know if he means the reference or that Mariners hot,
28:56
I don't know. I saw yeah, cosplayer tendee on our Facebook group about
29:02
a week ago, and I can't get that image out of my head.
29:06
I didn't see that. Everybody's right now, Look, yeah, that decks
29:21
it is a little bit. Yeah, but I mean there's still lower decks.
29:23
But remember that guy we used to have in our Facebook group we post
29:26
all the Cospay plecture pictures. That's like the only thing. Yeah, what
29:32
ever happened to that guy? Is he still he's not still doing that?
29:33
It was his name Chris. I think his name was Chris. Yeah,
29:37
yeah, yeah, Chris. If you're still listening, listen to the show
29:41
post up on Facebook. You guys, just don't let your wife know.
29:49
Oh boy, yeah, my wife's like, what are you doing nothing?
29:52
I'm just watching cartoons. Yeah, there you go. So, of the
29:57
two episodes, which one is, did you guys like better? The first
30:00
one or the second one. I watched them back to back. They kind
30:04
of ran together. Yeah, yeah, they ran together in my head.
30:08
I mean that's all the Lower Deck episodes kind of run together. It's just
30:11
it's like skis, you know. Yeah, I was unprepared to watch the
30:17
second episode. Yeah. Yeah, all the Voyager callbacks were pretty great.
30:22
Yeah, but they were pretty neck and neck in my mind. So Ransom
30:27
is jacked and he has like beautiful chompers now, and we've already established that
30:33
Mariner is the hottest cartoon going, that's right, And he's only hard on
30:38
her because she makes him hard first. So I think they're gonna have beautiful
30:44
cartoon children together. You heard it here. You heard it here, folks.
30:49
Maybe that's why the one of the reasons she got promoted is so it
30:52
would be a little less uh you know, a little less creepy, less
30:56
inappropriate. Yeah, yeah, you know. So I go back to a
31:02
couple of weeks back, we had our predictions show, and one of those
31:07
predictions was thrown right out the window in the first like forty seconds of the
31:11
first episode. Yeah you know which one I'm talking about? Yeah, the
31:15
Pike reference. Yeah yeah, yeah, but not necessarily we got more episodes
31:22
to go. Oh no, they mentioned Yeah, they mentioned it seconds he
31:27
already said it. That didn't take them long at all to reference it.
31:30
So, now here's the thing she said that we're not supposed to talk about.
31:34
Why are they not supposed to talk about it? Them talking about it
31:37
won't affect the past? Yeah, that is weird. That's a good point,
31:41
isn't it like just standard procedure, like if you go time traveling,
31:45
you're not supposed to talk about it. Well, it could be more like
31:49
it's standard procedure not to talk about something we might have screwed up, like,
31:53
yeah, let's not talk about that thing that we did that wasn't that
31:57
great? Yeah? Yeah, because then you start getting in people's heads that,
32:01
well, is this really the right timeline? Are we supposed to fix
32:05
that? Like? What really is the real timeline? Right? I mean
32:08
you get it out with spaghetti massive? What's real spaghetti? Did you watch
32:13
the Flash? Yeah, it's gonna say, no, I didn't I talk
32:17
about timelines with spaghetti in that? Yeah? Oh that's right. Yeah the
32:22
movie or the movie? Yeah, I watched the theaters, but I haven't
32:28
seen it yet. It was pretty good. Yeah, it's not bad.
32:31
Yeah, I don't care what. I don't care what people say. It
32:34
was pretty good. Yeah, I know he's a creep, but yeah.
32:37
Yeah. The movie itself though, Yeah, not too bad. Is it
32:39
streaming? Is it streaming anywhere yet? Yeah? It's okay. Maybe I'll
32:45
watch it this week from the well I'm sitting in the hotel room. Yeah,
32:49
it's not too bad. And I'm a horrible trek e because I didn't
32:53
even realize it was a Star Trek Day this week. I was in Seattle
32:57
all week this last week and had no freaking clue what was going on anything
33:00
in the real world of what I was doing. Well, their branding of
33:02
it was strange. Yeah, apparently they did like a whole little like a
33:07
show, like a twenty minute show that was not on Paramount Plus but only
33:12
on YouTube from whatever read there's the Paramount Plus. Yeah, it was the
33:17
dude that I shook hands with that the Star Trek convention. Uh yeah,
33:22
yeah, yeah, so he did that and then yeah, but it was
33:30
weird that they kept referencing because it's it's like the fifty seventh anniversary of Star
33:35
Trek, so they wanted to focus on a whole number, so they kept
33:37
saying. They kept promoting the fact it was the fiftieth anniverse, fiftieth anniversary
33:43
of Star Trek the animation series. Yeah, which is the fifth anniversary of
33:47
the animated series, but fifty seven years of Star Trek overall. All right,
33:52
show a hands in the in the chat, how many people had actually
33:57
seen the animated series. Yeah, I've seen a few episodes of it.
34:01
Well, and what's funny is apparently they kept talking about the history of Star
34:06
Trick animation and how great the animated history is, but no mention of Prodigy.
34:10
Yeah. Oh they're trying to They're trying to sweep that under the rug.
34:15
Yeah, they are, which reminds me of another thing I was surprised
34:17
at there were Unless I'm mistaken, there were no voice cameos from the Voyager
34:22
cast. Were there in this? I don't I don't think. I don't
34:24
think there was. Okay, I was waiting for I mean, like a
34:29
Neelix or Neelix is coming in one of the very short tricks we've already seen
34:34
teases. That's true. Yeah, I did see that. Yeah, and
34:37
now we know that Connor Trenier is coming in another one. So I mean
34:39
it's enterprise, but still excited excited about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:50
We have a few people just t Bear Lumberjack that have seen just not
34:54
a series, not a big deal that they made it out in the year's
34:58
past as far as everything is, you know, in years past, we've
35:00
had like a whole day of stuff, right. I wonder if that's limited
35:06
by the strike, Like maybe they recorded Jerry O'Connell's stuff really early, but
35:09
everything else like they just couldn't do it, you know, because they can't
35:15
get the actors. Like last time they had like a big event in LA
35:19
where the actors were there and they were like they basically did a panel a
35:22
few panels. Right, but presumably the entire season is already of lower decks
35:29
is already filmed and voiced over, right, right, But like recording those
35:32
interviews and things like that, sometimes they record him super early. But the
35:37
strike started about two months ago, so they might have been you know,
35:40
that's when they would have recorded these things. So okay, yeah, yeah,
35:47
I don't know. He is he is ye turning both ways? Look
35:53
both ways, check it first, check check for on coming traffic. Don't
35:58
get hurt. Watch out for those seven drivers that's right. Apparently they are.
36:02
They are the worst. For those that don't know, I drive a
36:08
sub. There you go, you're the cassidy as of our show. I
36:15
am, thank you very much. I think that's the first time anybody ever
36:19
said that about me. Say, you're like Travis's dad. But oh yeah,
36:22
like Cassidys is better. Yeah, I don't know what's worth I'm yeah
36:29
either way, a cargo ship. That's all right. Good news is I'm
36:34
a captain. The bad news is it's a cargo vessel. All right.
36:43
Well, should we get to feedback? Sure? Hey, hey, that's
36:55
scroll so fast. I know it does I forget what I even put in
37:00
it. Trek Cast G eight, do you guys still get email to trek
37:07
cast at gmail dot com or yeah, okay, yeah, but yeah,
37:16
so we did get some some feedback. We got a packlad review. Really
37:22
really, let me let me play that for us, Ladies and gentlemen,
37:29
Welcome to Star Trek Day, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Star Trek, the
37:37
animated series whatever and now Star Trek Lower Decks Season four premiere two vics.
37:52
A pack lad review back led still think that Jain way straight up murdered two
38:02
vix Thank you for listening to a pack led review. That little that little
38:12
baseball guy, Yeah, he looks like the the big two vis meatball.
38:22
When they just two vixed everybody together, that was the solution, and it
38:27
was great that they just they just glossed right over the ethics of it,
38:31
like, oh, you don't have a problem with this. Nah, They're
38:34
just a big mess, the big meaty mess of of people. It's it's
38:37
fine now, yeah, it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you
38:39
guys think that these packled reviews are embarrassing, you should like hear yourself.
38:45
Listen. Oh god, I'm sorry everybody. I'm gonna keep doing them,
38:51
but I'm really sorry. What do you mean? What do you mean doing?
38:54
Do you hear yourself? Yeah? What do you I'm producing producing,
38:58
That's what I meant. Oh, okay, you're not you're not. No,
39:01
no, no, no no. But some of my best friends are
39:05
right what are you talking about? I work with the pack lid. I
39:07
think exactly, exactly my best friends, one of my best friends are pack
39:12
leads. Right now, there's the conversations right here in Idaho all the time.
39:25
I don't really would you really want to pack lit on your ship,
39:30
though, I mean as part of your crew. Whoa, whoa. Now
39:32
you sound like a commander from episode the Commander. Wow, I know,
39:40
I know. Chad runs a pack lid pre ship apparently. Yeah, wow,
39:46
shave that mind. He's got a sign in the window. It's just
39:49
pack lids need not apply. I know. Wow. Jeez, what is
39:53
this the twenty three fifties? Didn't they say something on one of the episodes.
40:01
Didn't they make reference to back in the nineties. Yeah, it was
40:06
like the twenty three nineties. Yeah, yep, yeah, which is awesome.
40:12
Yes, yeah, somebody could stitch one of these episodes of Trek cast
40:16
together and make us look really, really bad. Oh that does happen quite
40:22
a bit. I also put out in the group that you know, hey,
40:27
who's the bigger threat? Moopsie or yeah, overall, Badgie was the
40:35
bigger threat according to people, But it was roughly like seventy thirty. It
40:38
wasn't as oh we lost them, Yeah we lost Okay, finally the truth
40:52
comes out. Last my plan is coming together. Oh God, were accomplice?
41:07
T Bear. Let's bring you into hailing from the actual USS Toritos in
41:16
California, that's right, all right. It's nice to be able to get
41:21
up at you know, normal morning hours and on Sundays and get on and
41:27
the show's actually on. Not no, not by now. Yeah. Yeah,
41:34
But to be bear, it ended up being seeing Punk's last match in
41:36
aw and we didn't know that. I knew that, but yeah, I
41:40
mean, everybody it was coming. Don't you get the newsletter, Daniel,
41:45
Yeah, I get there. By the way, I wanted to answer the
41:51
question of who was in Chad's walls. I thought that was actually Scott because
41:55
Chad had him tight up and hit him in the basement. But I'm glad
42:00
you got out. You explain somehow. So it's like you got beamed out
42:05
of there with an emergency beam upon some transporter enhancement and enhancement patent enhancers.
42:14
So yeah, there you go, enhancements. Oh nice. So what do
42:22
you think of the episodes? Awesome? I'm such a I was a big
42:25
Voyager fan, and you guys know that I'm probably more than d S nine.
42:29
I know that sacrilege here, but dude, just the references and just
42:36
seeing it, and they animated it really well, and it looks like the
42:39
animation was as good as when they animated Strange New Worlds the Enterprise, So
42:46
kudos to the animation team. But it was hilarious. I mean, all
42:51
those little deep cuts, the fact that there was one nanoprobe still still hiding
42:58
in the ships were just one, it's all take and when it when it
43:02
assimilated the macro virus, it also got big two. So that was pretty
43:07
hilarious. Good. I love how they handled the two VIC thing. I
43:14
mean they fully straight up caller out and then at the end they're like,
43:19
yeah, it's such a big giant blob that has no use, so yeah,
43:22
yeah, it's okay to hunt do it this way now, Yeah,
43:25
that was their ethical out. Yeah, which kind of was their ethical end
43:31
was to lend combining all of them in the first place. So that was
43:35
interesting to do that. So technically, yeah, so how do we know
43:42
that when this first happen to two vics they didn't try to combine other people
43:45
in the experimentation and then that was the only way out is to get rid
43:47
of him. Yeah oh yeah, but no, awesome the only and then
43:53
the second episode, Yeah, that was hilarious. I think we were all
43:59
thinking about that about Mariner being out of the form, we'll be out of
44:05
this. I'm not getting into your aneme. I know you opened the floodgates.
44:19
I know our group is not going to be littered with like hot cartoon
44:22
girls. Please do that. I've imagine a lot of Jessica rabbits. Do
44:30
we have any artists out in the group? Oh God, just send it
44:38
to mine and Dan's uh Facebook inbox? Isn't that where? Uh? Was
44:46
it? What's it called? Chad is wrong? At you? Moti com
44:51
gets for it it, Scott? Can you can though? Yeah? There?
45:02
Uh? Oh my god, hold on, I need to show you
45:07
this because somebody just boasted this in the group. Strong Beard all all episode
45:15
this week, just waiting. What does what did the caption say? I
45:23
couldn't read it. It was strong Beard all episode this week, just him
45:28
him being that guy was waiting. I just had one last comment was yeah,
45:39
very very short track. I think my reaction was just what the Yeah?
45:47
It's yeah, so what was it? I didn't you know, I
45:52
didn't see it either. Oh can you guys describe it for yeah? So
45:59
you want to describe it beer? Yeah, It's like those scenes in Family
46:05
Guy where they kind of make the joke too long. And it gets cringe
46:08
ey, but they did on purpose, so it was based and it was
46:13
funny because it feels like they were calling out just the wokeness of the more
46:17
recent episodes and people's reaction to the wokeness where it was basically on the original
46:23
Bridge and the original animated serious style. And this guy that kind of looked
46:29
like Captain Kirk but had no the voice didn't even sound like him, even
46:31
though Spock spot yeah, and he was making these I guess what you could
46:38
say, analogies or figures of speech, and everyone he said was insulting some
46:44
Bridge member on the crew and like you said, this is all We'll skin
46:47
a cat and then the cat he was like what, Yeah, And there
46:53
was there was a guy that's gonna sound wrong. I don't know if I
46:58
want to describe it without showing the picture. No, describe it. Yeah,
47:01
the guy that had like a I forget what it was, something with
47:05
a screw head, Yeah, like a picture like a screw and his head
47:08
was shaped like a like the screw. And then there was a was it
47:12
a screw or was it a self sealing stembel one of the one of the
47:15
two, and then the other guy next to him like, what was I
47:19
don't even want to describe it how I think what I thought he looked like,
47:22
But yeah, well you know what, you guys have to see it.
47:29
I think it's it's it's hard to describe. But it was just this
47:32
every everything where he said, and it happened like four or five times where
47:37
every figure of speech was insulting one person or another. Yeah, and finally
47:42
he at the very end he ended up making up some figure of speech and
47:46
then that person just ended up saving the ship that they blew up anyway,
47:50
So it was it was a reducer of these things. Is Casper Kelly,
47:54
who has a history. It just bonkers. The animation he worked on,
47:58
Aquitine Hunger for Harvey Birdman, Journey at Law, a lot of a lot
48:05
of adults swim stuff. So Aquite Hunger for Us is not for children,
48:08
No, not at all. So it is just makes sense now, you
48:14
know. Yeah, I can't even think of the concept of Aquitine Hunger for
48:19
Us without thinking of lightsaber dildo. There you go. I look at the
48:23
moon to night. Am I allowed to say that on this show? You
48:25
are getting it was getting close to that. I mean, you're you're in
48:30
Chad Spot, so you're kind of expected. Yeah, you've got some producing
48:37
to do after this is over. The captain was just credited as captain,
48:42
didn't say that it was Kirk, and the voice actor was Pete Holmes,
48:45
who's a also like a YouTube comedian and so used to have his own show.
48:52
I think on on HBO. I think I'm just bummed they didn't get
48:57
the guys that did the animation for that t and in the style. Yeah,
49:02
yeah, because they did a good job on that, but it sounds
49:07
like they feel like they copied them. Yeah. So is is this produced
49:12
through Paramount or is this Yeah, it's okay. Yeah, So I'm wondering
49:17
if originally that was Captain Kirk and they were like, no, you can't,
49:22
you can't. I wouldn't be surprised. You can't do it with Captain
49:25
Kirk. Change you know, change it. And they changed just him.
49:28
And that's why everybody else looks like the rest of the crew, right,
49:32
you said Spock with Spock. Yeah, why would they change Kirk? You
49:38
know, because because he was such an asshole in the skin, Like,
49:43
you can't have Captain Kirk be we can't have him be the bad guy.
49:46
Or the Yeah, he's the here, he's the hero. You can't have
49:49
him. Yeah, it was the awful So that wasn't our crap Captain Kirk.
49:52
That was the the new Captain Kirk in a different timeline. So that's
49:57
where ge everybody's seen the original series, right, I'm I'm about eleven episodes.
50:04
My wife and I are rewatching. We're watching the original series for the
50:07
first time. And oh, wow, is it bad, like the sex
50:15
the sexism alone. Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised it's still on the air.
50:17
I mean it's it's like, I'll never get used to a woman on
50:22
the bridge and Starfleet one of the episodes they just watched, Starfleet has a
50:24
policy in place, no women captains. Yeah, it's one. It's but
50:35
again, that was before the temporal Cold War. So right, this is
50:37
true. This is true. That's right. There's more and more evidence out
50:43
there de canonizing ts every day. Yeah, so you're saying that the temporate
50:49
Cold War really, you know, did something for women's rights. Yeah,
50:52
and and yes, we owe we owe women's rights to the Romulans, right,
50:58
thank thank you, And we don't forget that the timeline we're watching is
51:04
not the prime anymore. They completely backdoord their way out of that. That's
51:07
That's what I'm saying. Everything Wait, the timeline and strange New Worlds,
51:13
Yeah, it's they Yeah, they've made that illusion that everything is completely different
51:16
after they saved Cohn when they show concrete, like everything is just completely different.
51:23
Now, okay, when they show Cohn as a nine year old in
51:28
twenty twenty two, right, and and then she explains that I've been mucking
51:32
with the timeline and this was all supposed to happen back in the nineties.
51:37
That they've they've pretty much established that any inconsistency that you find from the preceding
51:45
fifty seven years just explained away. That there's a temporal Cold War going on
51:50
and things right from time to time, and that's would do a prequel,
51:53
but at this point you kind of and it has nothing to do with it
51:58
being a prequel though, because at this point you kind of have to do
52:00
that because our own history has diverged from the history of Star Trek. Yeah,
52:06
I didn't think that that makes sense. You know, there used to
52:08
be I know it's not Cannon, but there used to be this print,
52:15
this officially licensed print for sale, and it was the title of the print
52:22
was New Borg City, and it was supposed to be a picture of Manhattan
52:25
after the Borg took over Earth and you and you see a fully assimilated New
52:31
York City skyline. It had the World Trade Center in it. Yeah,
52:37
okay, because that prince was done in nineteen ninety seven or whatever. So
52:43
you know, I'm sure if if you look hard enough at Star Trek,
52:47
whenever they show any sort of historical things, there's already inconsistencies where our timeline
52:54
has diverged from the history of Star Trek, right, So so it's fine.
53:00
I'm fine with the temporal Cold War as a way of explaining all this
53:06
stuff away and at the same time modernizing, uh the shows that we're watching
53:10
now, Yeah, it's all spaghetti. It's also I guess, I guess,
53:15
I just I just it just them trying to explain it away, you
53:20
know, things like I mean, I personally, you know, I was
53:24
inspired to join the military because of the Eugenics War. I mean that happened
53:28
about ten years before I joined the army, But you know, the eugenics
53:31
War is a big reason. It's a really big reason. You know,
53:37
some of the older guys served in the Eugenics Wars. Yep, yep,
53:42
I served under Khan in the in the fifth Artillery, right such and such?
53:46
Yeah, yeah, there they are the World Trade Centers. Yea,
53:52
all right? Well do you bear anything else you wanted to bring up?
53:57
Nope, keep it. Thanks for thanks for a Chad for that quick cameo.
54:02
Good to see the main crew. Uh here, thank you. And
54:14
and for those who don't know, that was the original voice of Chad.
54:16
We original. We got the original Chad to come back. That's right,
54:22
Jazz busin are you here? Yes? Can you hear me? Yes,
54:24
we can hear you. We don't see you, but we hear you.
54:29
And then dark and stormy night. Maybe just the lens cap on, Grandma,
54:37
Grandma, the lens cap is on? Did the moves you get you?
54:44
Yeah? I'm in Florida and I'm standing on the beach. Where is
54:50
the sun? Wow? What time is it in Florida? I know what
54:58
time it is in Florida? I don't know. I'm not on the East
55:00
Coast. I'm not on the East coast. I'm on the Central Time.
55:02
So I'm in the Panhandle. So Chazz is with Chad? That weird?
55:13
So what do you think of the episodes? Uh, well, the kind
55:16
of blended together, because every time I think of one, it kind of
55:20
goes with the other and it's like, wait a minute, you happen on
55:22
the other episode. And I like how they blend the humans at the end
55:27
of the one and they just left them in there. It's like, yeah,
55:34
we don't need you guys, because can stay here. It's a good
55:40
episode. I'm wonder what this new. Uh Tom paris like ship, you
55:45
know, the crazy ship that was destroying everything. M hm oh yeah,
55:51
because if that thing links up with Badgie and Peanut Hamper, the world will
55:55
be Yeah. Well I know that ship took over. Remember Tom Parris when
56:02
he was making the Gulf of Flyer that ship. Yes, that's what that
56:08
ship's round. Remember when we had the neural link Alice, isn't it Yeah,
56:14
Alice, yeah, Alice, Yeah, so that's connected. I think
56:21
I really enjoyed how we saw the lower decks on the other ships too.
56:27
Yeah, we saw the Romulin lower decks and they're all talking about scheming and
56:31
plotting and being suspicious of each other. Yes, my plots better than your
56:37
plot and click on lower decks. All they're talking about is, you know,
56:43
meaningless battle and yeah it's good. It was good. Yeah. Yeah,
56:49
they're gonna take over the captain and kill him. Yeah yeah, yes,
56:52
this will be our crew and blah blah blah, kind of like what
56:54
Scott Botter's doing right now is definitely try. Next time you'll see with a
57:05
batlift and you'll be looking at Chad sharpening it. That's great. I just
57:15
want to congratulate you, Scott for checking over. So oh absolutely, yeah,
57:20
I mean I could, I could. I could never replace Chad.
57:22
I can only succeed him. He finally did it. Finally finally did it.
57:30
Listening to this like he's trying to get connected but he just can't radio.
57:35
No, he's he's doing ninety on the on the highway, not realizing
57:39
that he's not his way to buy a house, cut the brake lives.
57:45
Chad goes by a dress, so yeah, he might be on the way
57:49
right there. Yeah, watch out, see somebody with the crazy hair.
57:58
I'm ready for I'm ready for you. I know, one of those.
58:05
Next time you see in starting the rest of the episode, because you know
58:08
he's not gonna listen to the rest of this. So next time, when
58:10
you're on here starts sharpening it. There you go. That's a good idea.
58:15
Yeah, awesome, it's awesome. I want to bring up Jazzbaz.
58:24
Well, I'm just reading for the season. I kind of wish they didn't
58:30
do two back to back because we're you know, this long gap is gonna
58:34
suck. So was that the only one who didn't know going into the episode
58:37
one that they were going to do a back to back episode. The only
58:42
reason I knew is because I let the player keep going. Yeah, I
58:46
counted down. I'm like, what is this? Why is it playing another
58:49
because you normally plays like something from another series. Because I was the paramount,
58:54
I didn't remember that it was going to happen, But when it happened,
58:58
I remember, oh yeah, yeah, they they did announce that,
59:01
but then going forward it was one episode a week and I guess we'll see.
59:08
Which is weird though, because there's gonna be a lot of time between
59:13
when this ends and when they can bring anything new out. Well, no,
59:17
they got Disco still, yeah yeah, but I know, I think
59:22
one person has mentioned that, but after Disco there's gonna be a long gap.
59:30
Yeah yeah. So and for those those paying attention, that is the
59:35
Amazon guy. You're gonna see him? Yeah, I saw him right there
59:38
as he comes back there, would you get awkward? Stay forward? Oh?
59:50
No, I wave? I wave, I always wave. Dan't got
59:54
a new g I Joe, So maybe we'll see. We'll see. But
1:00:00
with that, I do have another engagement I need to get to. So
1:00:05
yeah, free to wrap it up to feel free to keep trekking, but
1:00:08
I'm going to make my exit if you want to move, if you want
1:00:15
to move, Scott to the upper right hand corner temporarily of course, up
1:00:22
here you can wrap it up here. Thanks everybody for listening. All right.
1:00:25

1:00:30
