Priority 1 message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel.
Hey friends of Disodo.
Before today's episode, we just wanted to take a moment to talk about the historic labor
actions being taken by writers and actors in the American Film and Television industry.
If you're a fan of the work done by the people who make Star Trek, we hope you'll join
us in standing in solidarity with the folks who actually bring these adventures to life.
Over the past several years, the AMPTP, the organization that represents the American Film and Television Production
Studios, have reduced the profit from movies and TV going to workers. And in so doing,
they've attempted to weaken the labor unions that represent those workers. They wouldn't
even engage the unions on many issues in their negotiations. And so a strike was the only course of action to take.
Adam, Wendy and I have been having a lot of internal
discussions about how best to stand with the unions
and we are continuing those conversations
in a dynamic situation.
We're doing our best to understand where the picket lines
are in these digital spaces,
and we would never intentionally cross one.
With the information we have,
we feel like we can do more good talking about and supporting
the strike and continuing our show as planned.
We'll keep you informed about what all this means for greatest trek specifically.
Today we're making a contribution to the Entertainment Community Fund.
This fund exists to help all the people whose livelihoods have been put on hold because
the AMPTP refuses to negotiate
in good faith with the unions. It provides financial support for writers, actors, and all the
thousands of laborers who make the shows that we talk about here and without whom we wouldn't
have Star Trek to cast pot about. Those folks are all out of work because billionaires,
company shareholders, and the executives of these companies don't want to compromise on the length of their yachts.
We hope you'll join us in supporting entertainment workers
in a challenging time,
especially after they've already endured
several years of challenges brought on by the pandemic
and season two of Star Trek Picard.
We've set up a page where you can also contribute.
It's at friendsofdecotoforlabor.com.
That's friendsofdececoto for Labor.com. That's FriendsOfDecoto for Labor.com.
Link in the episode description. Okay, now let's get on with the show.
Here's to the finest crew in Starfleet. Engage!
Watch your backdrop. Hello. I'm Captain Captain Bringing, what are the U.S.s?
Board of Ducco. Captain Captain Captain Bringing, what are the U.S. is... Boardhead, Captain Captain... Boardhead, Captain... Bringing one of the U.S. is...
Boardhead, Captain Captain Captain...
Boardhead, Bringing one of the U.S.
Welcome to the greatest generation...
...the Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys...
...who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast.
I'm one of those guys I'm Ben Harrison.
I'm Adam Pranica.
Last time, on the greatest generation.
Yeah, we did something bad last time on the greatest generation.
Yeah, we did something bad last time.
We landed on a Neelix's galley episode.
Is this two drunk assos since the cocoa no no that you skipped?
Think so. Yeah.
The last Neelix's galley I poured my champagne into a coconut.
Right.
And I don't think I'm breaking another rule today, but we had champagne so recently.
Right.
I was like, I'm just gonna get a different bottle.
Okay.
No one's saying tilaxian champagne is effervescent.
Technically, tilaxian champagne is not champagne
because it's not grown in the champagne region of France.
It's tilaxian sparkling wine, I get it. It's Tlaxian metode traditional.
So what I've grabbed instead is a bottle of red wine.
Bottle actually pink wine by the looks of it.
That is a nice looking color.
I think I've had that bottle.
That label looks familiar to me.
Yeah, I think we've had it together.
And it is chilled because I could go for something thirst quenching like a cold wine.
So that's what I'm having. I'm having a 2020 California table wine called Super Blue.
I'm having a natural wine, natural mente frizante.
I want to be clear mine is natural too. How the Italian style Petilon's natural and I don't know anything about this, it's just
an Italian bubbly wine that is unfiltered.
I'm a little worried about opening it because I walked home with it from the store.
It was in Darwin's mouth.
I didn't get an explosion.
I lucked out here.
I'm enjoying my wine in an insulated cup.
The way the makers intended.
When consumed properly as Sir Edmund Mailbar once wrote,
it can elevate the soul.
You and I were in Texas recently.
Yeah.
We went into the flagship store of the Yeti family of products.
Oh, we sure did.
And I spotted a cooler that I thought looked really great.
I just wanted this cooler so bad and then I found out how much the cooler cost.
Are you secreting the cooler right now?
Is that why you're putting this out into the universe?
You want this cooler so bad? I have not been able to stop thinking about this fucking cooler this cooler
cost
$800
I can't justify it, but I also can't get it out of my head. There's no way I can spend
$800 on a cooler Ben you need the best cooler in the world to store all that milk
need the best cooler in the world to store all that milk. Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Baby, I gotta keep your milk at the right temperature.
Hahaha.
This is the only thing that'll do it and check it out.
It's quiet, clothes lid.
Means we won't wake each other up at night when we're reaching in there.
It's gonna be, it's gonna be perfect.
This is what we need.
Tell you what, Ben, that, this is how the baby industrial complex works.
That cooler, probably an $80 cooler than any other store.
You label it as a breast milk cooler?
$800.
And now you can buy it.
That's how you get it past the budget goalie of your household, Ben.
Milk cooler.
Yeah.
I don't need a cooler.
I don't need a cooler at all.
You can't store breast milk in that cooler, Ben
Yeah, I've seen that cooler. It is unfit for breast milk
Much much like us drinking drinking wine. I've started have you started? Yeah, I've started
We didn't even toast to the show. Hey, here's to the show.
Here's to, here's to have in another.
Here's to you.
Hey, Darwin, don't lick my wine bottle, man.
Darwin's usually pretty trustworthy around this stuff, but uh.
Well, Darwin's also eight.
Yeah.
Seven, come on.
Your, your dog is as old in years as my dog is in months.
And that explains a lot about the difference. You the different start catching up pretty soon, I think.
Hope so.
Well, I am ready to nullify this bottle, Ben.
How about you?
We'll find out, I suppose, over the course of this episode, whether these bottles are
our nemesis or not.
Right.
I really enjoyed the terminology used in this episode, Ben.
It's Star Trek Voyager season 4 episode 4
Nemesis
Reaver course unless you've got something a little bigger in your torpedo toots. I'm not turning around
It begins on a very valverde planet, huh?
Figures shrouded in mist and shadow creep through the jungle with rifles. Yeah
They catch someone they catch an interloper.
You know what the most dangerous game is, Ben? Chico Te. Yeah.
Yeah, so they grab this guy, Chico Te. They take him back to their team leader. What's the guy's name? Brone? Yeah, he's entered the Brone Zone.
I take it you in charge here. Team leader, Brone,
Fort Boy, defense contingent. I gotta get a pump.
That's it, get it. Oh speaking of
Brone we should have some brodes. Oh shit, good call.
Chico Dez entered the Brone Zone, we've entered the
Brone Zone. You're about to hear the tellings of our show. Glimps this motherfucker.
There's a very jargony big dogging happening here between
Brone and the dudes that grabbed Chico Te.
Yeah.
And he's like, hey, why did you grab this guy?
We have more none but the Nemesis, man.
Did you grab this guy? We have more none but the Nemesis, man.
That's not so fun about this lexicon,
is that it's both military jargon and surfery
in a weird way.
I really like it.
Yeah.
I wish we got a four episode arc here
where we could live in it a little more
because I know I'm gonna forget it immediately after this episode.
Oh, no.
But it's also like, it's one of those episodes where you're like,
God, every alien should be like this.
They should have like weird ways of putting stuff
and like the jargon is amazing.
And it's so thoroughly developed in every line that one of these guys
others, they say it in this weird way.
Hmm.
His glimpse is too tame to be a cradon.
I hadn't found him that, sir.
Well, find him it now.
And it's funny, like, it's the jangly keys of the episode, right?
Because if it were just Chicoote getting caught up in a war on an alien planet,
we've seen that episode before.
But it's this additional layer of these jangly keys.
Like, it's basically a jangly thesaurus.
That kind of gives the whole thing a fresh new spin.
Yeah, you drill to fathom the nemesis, but you don't need to drill to fathom what these guys
are saying. It's like a magic trick that it is all in this weird specific jargon, but it's also
all perfectly understandable to us, the home viewer. So the story is this team leader, Brown, of the Brown Zone.
He's like, welcome to the Brown Zone, Chico Te.
Here's what's up.
We are the Vori, and we are fighting the Craten, also known as the Nemesis.
Also known as Crady Beasts.
And we like to be buried face down.
This is maybe the most important part of our culture.
We'll show it to you later.
Getting buried face down is like the main shit that we love.
I'm super busy right now as leader of the Bronze Zone.
So I'm going to pass you off to this Tate Dott of Unlooking Guy.
Name, name him.
And I'll catch up with you a little later.
All right. Peace out.
Chico Te is crashed. another fucking shuttle, Adam.
This is three episodes in a row for a lost shuttle,
bye bye, cow.
Yeah, I mean, he was like curious about
some Omicron radiation.
These guys tell him that the Crade
didn't definitely shot him down
because the Crade and Crave air superiority.
I was excited to see that air superiority a little later on.
Chico te happened to crash in Grove Yellow,
which is where the grown zone predominantly.
The grown zone would have been if Chico te had parachuted out of a shuttle
and landed in a tree branch with his leg spread. Spread. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it. That's it. That's days. And she goes, he's like, hey man,
I don't have that kind of time.
I gotta get on that radio real quick.
And he's like, well, I recommend you sleep here
because it's really fucking dangerous up in them trunks.
You think when the Vory talk about swimming,
it's a very complicated conversation
about shrunks versus board shorts
and the netting and so forth.
The Vory kind of seem like speedo type,
spoke to me.
You know what I really craved in this scene, Ben?
Is they're talking on and on about how Chicote
can't communicate with the ship?
You never get the tap.
The tap with the blurp, you know, like the thing that tells you that the communicator can't communicate with the ship. You never get the tap, the tap with the blurb.
Yeah.
Like the thing that tells you
that the communicator doesn't work.
Team leader, Brode of the Bronze Zone,
he doesn't know what that symbol is that he's wearing.
He touches it when he's telling him about it.
My communicator's not working.
If they just dropped the sound effect in when he touched it.
That's what I'm saying.
That would have liked that.
Yeah, that would have been good.
I noticed the same thing.
Brone passes Chico Te off on Ray Finn,
who is a total noob played by that guy
from Starship Troopers who was trying to be a journalist
and asked everybody in the co-ed shower scene
what got them into the military.
It was gonna be so nosy.
What, I'm the bad guy, I'm going to be a writer.
Wow, good poll.
It was dark, but I recognized him right away.
He's got a great face.
He really does.
He is new to war.
Yeah.
He's never seen their enemy in person.
You mean he's never glimpsed their enemy in person Adam?
Right.
He's not glimpsed through his glimpsors
at the enemy through the trunks.
He also says that they call him Rayfin,
which is like, ooh man,
if that's the nickname you get when you join the military,
that's kind of brutal, right?
It's not good.
Namin is born to get hard unlike this Rayfin guy.
And Rayfin's got the trambles, and thatund guy. And Rayfund's got the trembles.
And that's going to be hard when you're out among the trunks.
You don't want to go into the trunks of the trembles.
They don't still transcribe this show on the network, do they?
Because this is going to be an insane transcription.
Maybe worth looking for that to see if they still do.
It's an interesting conversation because they kind of talk about who the nemesis are,
the creative beasts.
And, you know, like, these are the people
that they would like to send into the way after.
They can, Chicote is clearly uncomfortable
with the way they describe these guys
as being like incredibly gross
and like, you know know intentionally biasing and you can
you can see his discomfort.
Isn't it interesting how Starfleet makes you kind of both sides the situation as a reflex
because that's what Shikote is doing here?
And interesting that like so much of this terminology is shared later on by the crew of the Voyager,
and it doesn't seem like they have both sides to anything
in the way that Chico-te is,
because he's like sitting there eating their food
and talking to them about what it's like to be a Vori.
And he's like, I'm sure that there's a guy
in a trench
on the other side of this war that's just as afraid of you, man.
Right.
The warrior not familiar with this as a concept.
And like what they describe is like really brutal war crimes, right?
Like when crazy beasts come through their settlements,
it's like craven brutality.
They're doing far more than glimpsing of their wives
and their daughters, that's for sure.
Yeah, nullified bodies facing up.
It's awful, what they're describing.
And when Chico Teh tells Naman that war is a kind of nonsense,
the dissentries behind them,
Naman takes great umberage with this.
Don't judge us, like we're in this awful situation.
These guys did this to us.
It's basically the energy that every single one of these guys have.
It's the next day, and Naman and Chico Te are trying to find the wrecked shuttle.
This is the mission, because Chico Te believes he can use the pieces of it to communicate with Voyager.
That's not going to happen when they find basically a shingle,
and that's it.
So one hit of shuttle that they find.
Unfortunately, it's not the communication shingle
that they hope they'd find, and it's useless.
That's pretty rough.
A couple of crazy beasts come over a berm
while they're looking at this thing and open fire,
and these guys look like they've got
quite a bit of grampa. I like their look. I feel like most aliens should look this way, but so few do. Most aliens should look like they're sick at DomJot. Yeah, I mean, I feel like the
the craten should be fighting with DomJot, you. So the one guy gets nullified.
Yeah, Naimins down.
He spilled a lot of blood, face down in the muck.
The rest of the squad runs into the clearing
and clears out the remaining crady beast.
And then they have to grieve.
They're falling comrade.
And we get to see the and then they have to grieve. They're fallen comrade, and there's a, we get to see the,
the ceremony that they perform to us, and this dude off into the way after.
There's something so visually striking
about taking a thing that we've all
experienced or seen or understand as going a certain way and changing one minor thing
about that to make it seem alien.
The idea of a body being made to be facedown after death is so alien feeling.
If we went to the funeral of a relative, a relative who subscribed to a religion that we weren't super familiar with,
and we go participate, we do the thing, and we sing the hymns, and we do the whole procedure.
And when it comes time to do the burial, if they just kind of flip the box upside down,
how shocking would that be?
That would be intense, man. It really would.
Because you know you'd hear the body kind of drop to the other side of the box.
Like, there'd be a rattle.
There'd be a rumble inside that box, Ben.
Better than falling out the bottom of it, right?
Yeah, you could have that.
No explanation. Just body after body, bustin' out a shit-wooden-hittin' pavement.
So they lay name and to rest, the Vory Berry you face down, ass up, that's the way they
like to bury you.
Yeah, he's got his ass in the air and his mind in the gutter.
And Chico Tay asks them what kind of shrine they got, and very respectful of the ways of, uh,
of this different culture.
Chico Teas wandered back into the Bronze Zone.
Team leader, Bronze, Fourth Morin Defense Contingent.
I gotta get a pop.
That's it, get it.
Bronze is like, hey man, you gotta, you gotta change into this dead guy's clothes because that fucking red mantle on your
On your shirt is really kind of eye catching
It's gonna get us glimpsed and then it's gonna get us nullified. I know we look like humans
But I want to tell you something two things make us completely alien as the Vory one
The various face down as up
as the Vori. One, the Barius face down, asked up.
Two, we do not evacuate our bowels in death,
which means this change of clothing
is gonna be a-okay for you to get into Chico Te.
Absolutely no uriner feces in the pants part.
Sounds great.
They even did not brando to portray his death scene.
Gotta say it's nice seeing Chico Te wearing the deep you, right?
Yeah, it's a big you on Chico Te and more like,
more like University of Pectoral Muscles, right?
Hell yeah. High five through the screen.
University of Pect muscle athletic department.
XXXL.
Coming soon to podshop.biz.
So Chicoote gets sent off to learn how to shoot their guns
with rafan.
And it's like, rafin is supposed to drill Chicote
on the use of their weapons,
but it turns out Chicote drills Rhaifin
on a phathoming rages.
Right.
And then the slash fiction, they drill each other.
It's a scene that's about trembles giving way to rages.
You start out in war with the trembles,
but then you get, you're born to get hard rages
After a little while and what Chico Te says he really inspires Rayfin to do the same having the trebles is natural
Rayfin is so fucking psyched by this. He's like, fuck yes!
Yes! The Trimble's gonna become Rages!
Ah! Ah!
This is the scene where you knew Rayfin was gonna die pretty soon, right?
Yeah, Rayfin is not gonna have a great time
when he comes up against the gromba.
Keep your top low and your glimps wide.
Action happens pretty fast because that night,
the vory around patrol and Chico Tefine to body.
And God damn it, those fucking bastards turned his face up.
They desecrated his body.
They left him upturned to be cooked by the glare.
And if you think this makes you,
well, feel a little bad, there's an entire seventh contingent behind the tree line,
and they're all facing up.
Those motherless, creating beasts.
Oh, it's so gross.
Oops, all up facing.
Yeah.
This is the guys that they were supposed to be meeting up with.
The guys that had the comms equipment
that Chico Te was gonna use.
So it's like, complete disaster.
Brone sees us onto this moment.
He tries to turn this into kind of a group
Bronnzone situation.
He uses the awful moment to rally the troops,
but the problem is when you enter the Bronnzone,
it's a loud place to be.
He's really getting hyped up.
He's jumping around and he's yelling at people,
but he's too loud.
And we're not gonna swallow it!
Never again, D.K we're not gonna swallow it! Never got the energy from the mouth of the man!
And you know what that's gonna do, Ben?
It's gonna draw the enemy fire from the Cradon.
Yeah.
And that Bronze Zone gets shut down.
The Cradon start licking shots.
They don't even get to find out who wins...
...Okey Rally moment.
Uh-huh.
Okey Bronze Zone. to find out who wins Ooki Rally moment. Uh-huh.
Ooki Brown's own.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Because soon after, they're in full-on jungle combat.
It's like a Vietnam film.
Aren't you proud of Reifen here?
He's got the Rages.
He doesn't have the Trambles.
It does have the Rages.
He's kind of Kevin Dillon in platooning at this point.
Like, he's got the psychopathy of the Tom Barenger character,
but none of the skills of the Tom Barenger character.
Oh yeah.
You're a lot of people walking around like that.
Yeah.
BT dobs.
Yeah, so RSVP, Rhaven, and Chicote does him right, you know.
He helps him plank before he shuffles loose
this mortal sphere.
Tell you what, like ordinarily you'd see someone
messing with a body and rolling them over
and you'd think something fucked up was about to happen.
That's not how it goes on Planet Valverde.
So, after this awful night of running and gunning in combat, Chico Te, the next morning
is stumbling through the jungle by himself, and just wanders into a totally defenseless
village.
Welcome to La Hanna's town, make glory, Defender.
You're brightly greeted.
It is a town of blowout hairdo.
Like, everyone has been blown out.
The old people, the middle aged, the young, and people that, you know, the blowout would
have made their hair look better have also been teased.
It's just a hair metal band living and aging together in the jungle.
Chico Te is so blown away by this. He just collapses and joy. Finally, he's safe.
Yeah.
And finally, we see the Voyager.
Yeah. That is up in orbit of this planet.
Yeah, that is up in orbit of this planet. Unaware that Chico Te has made it safely to L'Aurana settlement.
And the captain's log is referring to a
ambassador that has told them
that the people on the ground are looking for Chico Te in the middle of this war.
And we cut to him a glothwin group.
It's your watch! It doesn't seem like the captain has ever been are looking for Chico Tay in the middle of this war. And we cut to him a Gloucetwen group.
It's your walk.
It doesn't seem like the captain has ever been
in direct contact with this ambassador.
No.
Definitely.
She's been told about this by TuVoc and Kim and Paris.
And Nielix might actually know this guy.
Yeah.
That was the other thing was like, she asks Nielix,
like, what's the deal with this conflict?
Like, tell me about this war as if
Neelix didn't tell us already that that we've reached the end of his knowledge
That was the thought in my head and Neelix's response is like telling from the perspective of like
Yeah, like this is what the ambassador told me. Are you bullshitting us Neelix?
No, I think you just got it from the ambassador.
All right. But I think that it's an interesting moment because it is ambassador to ambassador,
right? That's kind of the role that Nelix wants to inhabit. But that's how ambassadors function.
And this is the scene that put me really on edge, the way they are speaking very uncritically about
the like savagery of the enemy, that the ambassadors people are fighting, like they're
using all the same terminology, like their nemesis are bad and they do bad things and
desecrate bodies and shit, but it is so non-specific that it made my spidey senseless
tingle. It made my spidey sense, it was tangle. As specific as it gets as the idea of,
if Chicote just hooks up with the correct side
of this conflict, he's gonna be taking care of.
There's coffee right in the middle of the war zone.
Yeah, train is like, hey, listen,
we're gonna find this guy, the second he connects
with our people, we're gonna radio up,
you'll know where he is, it's gonna be fine.
He's not in the trunks anymore, he's in the blowout town.
Speaking of the blowout town, Shakote is communicating with this old British man that
seems to be sort of the town elder.
Right.
He keeps calling him Shakote.
Yeah.
I feel like this actor wasn't familiar with the program, decided on a pronunciation for the name that you
had in the script and nobody on set corrected him.
My nuttiles the truth, Chico-te. You are welcome among my neighbors.
I love this moment because everyone's trying to confer a valour to Chico-te that he feels
uncomfortable accepting. He's like, look guys, I will eat this bowl of good and plenty
because I am hungry.
But I don't want it to be because you feel like I'm some sort of hero or whatever.
I'm not a glory defender, I'm just a guy.
Right.
Don't try to be a glory defender.
Just be a defender.
It's rhetorical nonsense.
And when the conversation turns toward what happened to the fourth regimen?
J'co-t'e demers.
He's like, yeah, those guys are the heroes.
And that's about all I wanna say about that.
There's a moment in this scene
that made me so uncomfortable
because the group is,
is they are talking to him and asking him a bunch of questions.
And this lady asked like,
anything else you crave, like food, warm clothes, anything,
anything you crave, and they leave.
And then the little girl that gave him the like flower necklace
comes in and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
don't go there episode do not yeah
and then the camera pulls back there's like a wooden sign nailed to a post and it says camp
Epstein how did they know why was Chico Te in the black? It's a much more innocent scene than that.
This girl is very curious about her big brother, Dario,
who is a glory defender.
And she's heard all the horrible stories about what the
the Crady Beast do when they nully her people.
But Chico Te is not really willing to participate
in the racial degradation of the Kradin,
who's like, yeah, it's true that they don't share your beliefs
and they don't respect them.
Nor is he willing to totally crush this girl's spirit
by telling her that definitely her brother's dead.
Yeah, her brother has totally bought the farm.
Not only is your brother dead, but he's facing up in such a way that is spectacular.
Like, they put him up on a table.
You wouldn't think that it was possible to face this far up.
This summer, you will believe.
You can face up like this.
Perfect black, make it yourself.
I'm trying to help you see this as an opportunity to grow.
Make it yourself.
Spoiler alert.
But like, this is maybe like the most biasing moment for Chico Day.
Yeah.
Like, and one thing I really like about the script of this
is that he starts more and more to kind of take on the
Argett of these people.
Yeah.
And use it more and more.
And like he's like clearly resisting it in this scene, but I think after this scene
that wall has kind of broken.
What do you make of the significance of using contemporary firearms as weapons on this
planet?
I don't know if it's like a pre-warp civilization or if it's part of the ruse.
Yeah, I don't know if it's like a pre-warp civilization or if it's part of the ruse.
Yeah, I don't know either.
Anyways, the next morning, they're like provisioning him
and they give him like a Manhattan portage shoulder bag
and letters for soldiers as he's walking out of the village.
And Marna gives him like a really deep kiss.
Like the kind of kiss that like drags some saliva out.
Mm-hmm, there's a good 13 inch strand of saliva
between them before it breaks.
So he trudges off into the trunks away from this.
Again, totally undefended and defenseless village.
Should a merch item that we eventually sell on the new PodShop.biz be swim trunks, but
the pattern is trees and jungle. And they are trunks trunks.
I mean, I don't want to even think about how complicated it would be to do that.
Could the package be like a tiny box with a latch on it so that you get your trunk's
trunk?
Is the pattern on these swim shorts, trees and elephants, so it's trunk, trunk, trunk.
It is, isn't it?
Your best will be enough.
How much of your bottle of,
when have you drank?
Let's see, I've got that much left and.
Oh my God.
And like, oh, but you're, yeah,
you're drinking out of like a pint glass size insulated.
I've got like a half of a pint glass left
and then maybe three fingers of wine left in the bottle.
This always happens.
I drink as fast as I can when it's this format.
It's only the wine shows, though.
Like, I mean, maybe this is why you didn't participate
in the cocoa no-no, is you didn't wanna drink rum that fast.
Maybe that's what it is.
Remember that time that you just didn't do the cocoa no-no?
That was wild.
Peppered farmer, members.
So, Chicago Day is in the forest when he sees air cover
going down back at the town he's just left.
Yeah.
Pretty cool to see just like some alien space planes.
They sounded like harriers to me.
Like the sound really sold the whole thing.
Yeah.
Really cool.
Yeah, and when he gets back, the
crazy beasts are rounding up all the all the people in this town. Chico
Te is like, you know, lining up a shot. And that's when the crazy beast set on
him and he has taken prisoner.
Of a no opposition, are you being nullified? Unvoyager, we're in Janeway's ready room and they're optimistic that Chicoete has survived the crash
But that doesn't mean he survived the war zone and Paris is
aching to go down there and play out his Rambo 2 fantasy. He wants this so fucking bad. He is so eager for the fray
Is there anything about him that suggests
that this isn't a surprise?
Like, he's more born to get hard than I expected here.
And he and Shikote aren't even close.
Like, I would expect this if it were Kim behind there.
But what does he give a shit about Shikote for?
I know that Paris like technically joined the Mayquise
for a minute.
I don't really get the sense that he became war.
I don't get the sense that he's expendable either.
And that's kind of a quality that you need, an emission leader here.
And that's my two-box jumps right in there.
Yeah, he's like, hey, the, uh, the whole boots on the ground thing, I think, is probably
a terrible idea.
I think we said one, and specifically not Paris.
I have been invited to many parties, and the people who throw those parties have not cared
if I had shown up or not. I have no interest in living the quiet life.
A greatest-gen live show is something you don't want to miss.
Why?
Well it's a great opportunity to see
me and Ben in person, but that's not all. FODs from all over gather at these shows to
cosplay, to do pre and post-show hangs, to make friends, and share their embarrassment.
Hey, let's make a pretty great name for a tour. Let's do it! The Share Your Embarrassment
tour is coming in August 2023, and we've got a bunch of dates,
in a lot of great places. Go to GreatestGenTour.com to get more info. That's GreatestGenTour.com for dates
and ticketing information for the Share Your Embarrassment Tour.
I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Jesse Thorne. On Jordan Jesse Go, we make pure, delightful nonsense.
We were open awesome guests and bring them down to our level. We got stupid with Judy Greer.
My friend Molly and I call it having the spaceweirds. Pat Noswald. Could I get a ball
rock burger and some air-gorn fries? Thank you. And Kumail Nanjiani. I've come back with cat
toothbrushes, which is impossible to use. Come getupider with us at MaximumFun.org.
Look, your podcast apps are already open, just pull it out, give Jordan Jesse Goat try.
Being smart is hard, be dumb instead.
Oh, rats, hey, hey, oh, I'm about to count you in line.
These clouds are really freaking me out.
I hate having to stand in line, and boy, what do I?
These giraffes do not smell good.
No, they do not, and they've such short nacks.
But I'm hearing we need to get on this.
We've got to get on the art.
It is about terrain, about a spout to destroy humanity.
Hey, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Are you Noah?
Yeah, I know we look like humans.
We're actually, we're podcasters.
We are podcasters, so it's different.
Have you heard of Ono Ross and Kerry?
We investigate spirituality, claims of the paranormal,
stuff like that.
And you have a boat and say the world's gonna end, so seem like something for us to check out.
We would love to be on the boat.
We came to by two.
What do you think?
Ono Ross and Kerry, available on MaximumFun.org.
I've got to get that luck wood knife, he's setting on it.
Gold. That would not be setting on ice to gold. So down on the planet, Chicoetay and the girl from the village
are in some Star Trek caves
where they are being held prisoner.
Can I just call her Lil Blowout?
Pfft.
You can see a written in crayon, right?
Yeah, for Podchop that biz should we market
a hair dryer, a graiss-jent branded hair dryer, if we're
making a little blowout haircut?
A little blowout.
Look at her.
Look at little Karia, a little blowout.
Chicote trying to talk some sense with the Crayden Guard, but the Crayden Guard are
cruel.
They're bad people.
This is one of those prisoner prison guard situations
where you can't ask a question
because if you ask a question,
you're gonna get a rifle butt to the face.
This is much worse than Rura Pente in a lot of ways.
It creates something in Chico Te,
that you really want for the rest of the episode,
which is bleeding out of both sides of his mouth.
Yeah.
It's a striking look.
And he's gonna give up on the project of like
fucking with the crane for a little while. Yeah, until the next morning when gunfire is
their wake up call. And when they go, they go out of the tunnel to like see what's going
on. It turns out that this Star Trek cave was like right on the edge of town. It's convenient
really.
And he sees the craden like, you know, rounding people up,
getting ready to take them to like extermination camps.
Yeah, because what's explained here is that the old can't work for the craden.
The way the youths can.
Yeah.
And Karia takes great umbrage with this because her grandpa is being marched off to get shot
and you made a terrible mistake, Caria, because you're going to join grandpa here.
And this is something that Chico Te can't allow to happen.
Get me out of here!
He instigates a Star Trek fight to try to stop it, but he's just one chakote and he gets knocked out.
I mean the craden are better armed now. The craden look like they shop at the same places in Quizator Kira.
I like that.
You lose the Star Trek fight. Back up on Voyager.
Janeway and TuVak go to greet the ambassador. Ambassador Treen, come on, let's go, let's go see what's up to this guy.
Everyone's going to greet. Ambassador Treen, a helpful man who just wants to be helpful and cool.
Yeah, can't wait to meet him. Can't wait to give him some of Neelix's food.
I hope his gromba is normal.
I hope he has a mouth that works with our utensils.
I hope he sucks at Dom-Jat. that works with our utensils. Hahaha.
I hope he sucks at DomJot.
The ambassador and their contingent beams aboard and...
Oh no.
They're cradins.
What?
It's a bunch of cradins.
I like how we cut away, like right now.
You don't even get to react.
There's no Janeway react here.
No, Janeway's only reaction is like a a shake of the hand.
It's so neutral that you can't tell if she's in on it in some way like if this is part of it
Yeah, we kept back to the surface of the planet where Chico Te is in the process of having his corpse
Desecrated. Yeah, he's face up and he's tied to the ground
Does desecration only happen to dead?
Or can you be alive and desecrated?
Post-vector would say, I'm not worried about it!
There's worse shit on the local doos!
I mean, he's like in the process of dying, I think, when he reenters the Bronze Zone.
Yes.
Team leader, Bronze, Fourth Morin Defense Concentration.
I gotta get a pop.
That's it, get it.
Brother, you just reentered the Bronze Zone. leader, bro, and Fort Boyd defense contingent. I got to get a pump. That's it, get it.
Brother, you just re-entered the brone zone. This is the thing about, bro.
You're gonna make bubbly wine go out of my nose, man.
And really, all of the Vory, you're casting for looking great at a tank top.
Yeah. Because God damn it.
Brone has got like arm goals.
You tell the truth on your name them beasts.
He isn't super jacked,
but he is someone who can pull off a tank top.
He has a sinewy shoulder that is well developed.
Right.
He rescues Chico Te, gets him untied,
tells him about like all the fucked up shit that has gone down with the townspeople and
and how all of the defenders have been nullied at this point.
Chicoetay's got a choice. He can go to the command post to contact Voyager or he can stay there and keep doing make-we-shit with his new friends.
I love the choice of brone giving him a water bottle to sit
from because every time he like delivers
a line he then takes like a yeah a
contemplative sip like a dumb
torreto like journa king of corona
while talking about family level
sip from the from the canteen and he's
speaking the language now too which is
great. That can wait till the soon after.
In the now, you need my hope to nullify the nemesis.
They both want to avenge Ray Finn.
I wanted the scene where Chicoote ripped the sleeves off of his deep you.
Show those fucking pipes Chicoote.
It's just going to be the two of them. It's Chicoete and Brone versus the Cradens now.
I don't like their numbers.
It's sorta like two bucks, right?
Like a small, a small commando contingent
could like do a lot of damage here.
Right.
So they're up to some like real serious
like deep dark jungle combat at night time wasting cradens.
They never do the cradens the way that the warrior done, right?
Like how do you think they prefer to be buried?
There's no burial quid pro quo or whatever.
Quid pro cradens?
Yeah.
They're surrounded by Crayton.
Broan catches one.
Don't let Broan go into that,
Broan, good night.
It's just, we're down to just Chicoete.
You know, Broan's taking the Broan's own with him
if he's off the map.
Sad.
Yeah.
A single Crayton appears,
and this is unusual, right?
Yeah.
Steps out from the jungle and he's like,
hey, Chicoete, I'm Tufac. Chicoete is unusual, right? Yeah. Steps out from the jungle and he's like, hey, Chico-te.
I'm Tufac.
Chico-te is like, what?
That's impossible!
That's not true!
No!
And then Tufac slices off one of Chico-te's arms.
And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and and and, and, and and, and, and, and, and. And, and Bronn, not having died. Bronn is like,
you're still in the Bronzoan man.
That's it. Get it. Don't believe him.
Don't trust him. Let him die. And the
longer two Vox speaks, the more Chico Te
is starting to believe. And there's kind
of a visual thing happening here too,
right? Yeah, the kind of the shimmery illusion
Falls away intermittently and reveals not a craden face
But a two-vac face in a craden uniform.
Did you think that this was Tim Russ in
Craden face? I couldn't tell.
Because I found it very difficult to tell if it was him buried under all that loaf.
Because his voice sounded really different, too.
They've buried what you commanded.
I actually did research.
I wanted to figure this out.
Yeah.
My research was face down.
When the illusion falls all the way away,
Chicoate is like horrified.
The two vachas come into this conflict wearing
craden clothing. Yeah. It's like how can you dress up like you're in
Quisitor Kira. Tuvac, I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave.
The story is crazy. What Tuvac is telling Chicoote is that nothing Chicoote has
been through that day was real. Yeah.
It's how the Vori create radicalized soldiers.
Yeah, and he's like,
hey, I think we'll fucking prove it to you.
Walk with me.
In order for you to believe me,
you must depart the brown zone.
They walk through the jungle and they find...
The village of the blowouts, right?
Yeah.
And Chicoete walks in and has like the identical experience.
Yeah.
Again, where they just greet him as everybody's there.
Nobody has been rounded up and taking to an extermination camp.
It was all a shirad, Ben.
Chico Te has been frame of mind.
If only Picard had been here to put it that way. Chico Te has been frame of mind. If only Picard had been here to put it that way.
Chico Te has been future imperfected.
Yeah.
Chico Te and Tuvac depart the Bronze Zone
and on Voyager in Six Bay, Chico Te is back,
but he is not better.
Like, physically he's okay,
but mentally he's toss salad and scrambled eggs.
And the duck, the way the duck describes him.
Well, maybe I hear the cradon calling.
The duck is like, try to imagine the brown zone being a place where you just get a couple
of handfuls of pills out of the fish bowl, and you just take
them to the dome.
That's what Chico De has been doing.
It was a recruiting mission.
You've been subjected to a highly sophisticated form of propaganda.
You want us to sew amway?
They'd like drug them up.
They like subjected them to simulations, and like, there's like a bunch of different propaganda techniques working all together
to inculcate him into this way of life
where all you wanna do was live in the brun zone.
Oh yeah, once you're in the brun zone,
that's the only place you wanna be.
Yeah, and it wasn't personal,
it was like he fucking crashed on this planet
and they were like cool fresh meat
So weird they saw him in the Bradstile shuttlecraft
Up in high orbit and they're like how about that guy? Yeah, see how he does in the brown zone
Team leader brome Fortmore defense contingent. I got to get a pump
That's it get it
Loki one of the best parts of the script of this episode is like when he starts asking
about like desecration and Jane was like, I don't know man, like it's a war. I'm sure
fucked up shit is going on on both sides. Yeah. Like she kind of joins that both sides
thing before Ambassador Treen comes in. It's so crazy. They bring in this ambassador.
Isn't that a good choice by anyone involved?
Who chose this?
No one should have done this to Chico Te.
Don't make him shake hands with with a fucking guy that looks like that.
Yeah, I don't blame Chico Te at all for this.
He was just moments ago in the Bronze Zone and you expect him to just get used
to being outside of it. Now, it's a pretty beast as far as he knows. Yeah. It's a parable
about hatred at him. They won't let you walk away from that. It's right in the end of
the episode. Yeah. Damn. Damn. Janeway follows Chicoate into the hallway, and it's like the end of first blood.
Janeway's trying to figure out Chicoote,
and Chicoote is like,
Chicoote.
Nothing is over.
Nothing.
You just don't turn it off.
Well Adam, was it easy for you to stop hating this episode,
or was it too easy to start?
You know, I'm pretty easy to get along with post-opestive.
But I don't like bullets, I don't like bread, and I don't like you.
I love this too.
Ben, I really like this episode a lot.
I have a feeling that this is an episode that is very unpopular with people.
Oh, interesting.
But for the same reasons that people would dislike this episode, those are the reasons
that I like it.
I like that this is a sick, twilight zone kind of sci-fi twist on a war movie.
Yeah.
I like that it's Chicoete, specifically because I feel like he's not had a lot to do lately
and now he's the A in this story and I enjoyed watching
him experience this awful situation.
I love the guest stars on this episode.
This seems like a uniquely strong episode in terms of guest stars because there's like
six of them that really jump off the screen and are interesting and feel like they're fully realized.
Like if you were to go off in the story with any one of them,
I feel like you could get a good 15 minutes of stuff out of them.
I really loved it a lot.
What am I, I mean, season four is all about seven and nine,
seven and nine, not here.
Not even in the episode, doesn't show up one.
I wasn't even thinking about Seven of Nine.
As long as I was in the Bronze Zone,
I couldn't think of anything else.
Wow.
What about you, Ben?
Yeah, I like this episode too.
This episode has, I've seen it maybe two times before this,
but I didn't quite remember how it resolved.
I mean, the thing that has always stuck with me
about this episode is the like incredibly
richly realized culture of the of the Vori. And like, I think that it's
Star Trek really living up to the promise of Star Trek in a way like showing
like an interesting like we don't know what the Vori even look like. Like that's the amazing
thing is like when you think back and you're like,
oh, like they look human, they only look human because that benefits them in
Chicoete's eyes.
Like they, like it, it helps their cause to turn Chicoete into a soldier if he thinks
that they look just like he does.
Yeah.
And I think it's a, a really terrific episode really terrific episode and I like it a lot too. I think
it's good. Yeah, I really do. This was super fun. I think if this episode gets invited
to a party and it doesn't show up, it's a big deal. Yeah, this episode is not expendable,
that's for sure. Well, Adam, do you want to see if there's anything in the priority one in-box for this episode of the greatest generation?
I'm almost at a wine, so...
Ah, yeah.
Priority one message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel.
Need a supplement on it.
supplement?
supplement?
supplement?
Yeah, it's extra.
The interest alone could be enough to buy this ship.
Adam, our first priority one message
is of a promotional nature and it goes like this.
Do you think they're disappointed if you're
doing a promotional one when they land on the Drunkasood
Landmine?
You entered the Bronze Zone, promotional P1 purchaser.
Kavya Lemptor, sometimes that happens.
Here's the message, Ben, Adam.
I am contacting you from the past.
I'm caught in a quantum time travel maguffin.
Episode 300 to be exact.
I've been listening to you almost exclusively in my painting studio for over a year catching
up on Batcadilog and realized it was about time I showed some fellow creatives some support.
So here are 267 Canadian scarves.
Thanks for this dumb show, it's great.
A bit of you too are in my work, not in that way gross
So now FODs go buy some of my art and
Now this is tax deductible
Good call. I just went over to earthskyart.ca and I'm looking at this art right now and
This is art that I would totally put up on my wall.
EarthskyArt.ca is what's being promoted in this promotional P1, and you can get 15% off
any print order with the code Quantum in the Special Instructions.
EarthskyArt.ca.
You know what I'm really enjoying?
The Turbulent Sky Series. I'm a guy art.ca. You know what I'm really enjoying? The turbulent sky series.
I haven't glimpsed it yet.
I'm just opening it up in my browser right now.
Really cool.
This is great.
EarthskyArt.ca.
I like it a lot.
It's really good stuff.
Yeah.
Very beautiful.
Yeah, get in there.
Anybody that is making a living as a painter
is really cool by me.
And it's amazing to hear that we are the sole inspiration
for a visual artist like this.
Like that Jay needs us to do his art.
Yeah.
And is just incredible.
The responsibility I feel to do a good show for Jay.
We gotta do better.
We must do better at him.
I think if we got better, I mean, Jay's painting is already great.
Jay's painting would improve if we got better, I think.
I can't see how this painting would improve.
It's really cool.
I'm just, I'm clicking through paintings on this, on this website.
They're so beautiful.
Yeah, Jay, we're going to talk later about getting one of these up on the wall.
Yeah.
I think it's important.
Then our second priority one message,
it's from Jonathan Tinker.
It's to Nathan Tinker.
Okay.
And I have a throat bubble, I'm trying to get out.
The message goes like this,
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Woah!
This priority one message comes from Jonathan,
sending you all my love and support.
I think you're the coolest dad in Starfleet.
Whoa.
Nathan, with a happy birthday gift to his dad, how many fathers and sons do you think listen
to our show?
When I heard that there were two last names in common, I was betting brothers.
Yeah.
Lots of brothers, I think.
There was a total twist. I didn'tding brothers. Yeah, lots of brothers, I think. There was a total twist.
I didn't expect it.
This is that meme where like,
yeah, they had us the first half.
I'm not gonna lie.
Hahaha.
That was like when Ambassador Treen
materialized on the Transporter Pad,
I was like, what?
I know.
Adam, our final priority one message is from Jason G
and it is to DC, Sam N and Brad B and Adam and Ben.
Oh, whoa.
I think we know who these people are.
I do, yeah, we do, for sure.
Goes like this.
Sam and Brad, I can't thank you enough
for introducing me to the pod.
Just saw the Milwaukee show.
Amazing.
Including your P1 for me regarding
Brad's obsession with McRibs.
Ben and Adam, viewing this pod has gotten me through
many dark days and nights, driving to jobs I hated.
Keep up the amazing work.
Congrats Sam on your wedding, screw flanders.
Wow, this one was intended for more proximate to Sam's wedding date, April 17th.
Which happened to be the date of our DC live show.
You and I met a ton of Sam's friends at that wedding reception, which we went to after
our live show in DC.
Yeah, yeah.
And Jason G, if you're anything like those that we met at the wedding, you gotta be great.
I mean, that was like a highlighted the tour for me was meeting a bunch of Sam and friends.
And a big fun all around.
I'd say it was fun to go to that reception and have people recognize me and like not recognize them.
It was weird.
Well, thank you to everyone who got a priority one message.
And if you'd like to get one, you can get it right now by going to MaximumFun.org slash
Jembo Tron.
Set it up today.
What's stopping you?
Yeah, you don't need a wedding to do it.
Any excuse will do.
Maybe you're an artist.
Yeah.
Or you're getting married. Or you have a dad. Or you
don't have a dad. Any permutation of that is perfectly acceptable by us. Yeah. Hey Adam.
It's that, Ben. Did you find yourself a drunk Shimoda? Drunk Shimoda! I feel like this episode was full of them. Really. And I think the character that I just couldn't, I mean, we've referred to him so much, so much
so that he's got his own zone.
I take it to your in charge here.
Team leader, Brown, Fortmore, defense contingent.
I gotta get a pump.
That's it, get it.
This Michael Mahonen guy who plays Brown,
couldn't take my eyes off of him.
And it's not just because he had pipes.
I mean, there was just something about his relationship to Chico Tay
that was really exciting.
And it's got to be so hard to audition and get the role of guy fighting a war and then be given a
The Sores next to this trip like I know you think hey congratulations you got the part also you're gonna be talking in some sort of weird
Unrecognizable The Sores speak here. Yeah. Hope you can get with it. And it had to be so hard not to laugh during these takes,
because the vocabulary's ridiculous,
but he makes it believable.
And I think this whole episode hangs on Brown.
And I'm in the Brown Zone, man.
I think that's what makes him my Shimoda.
What about you?
I think it's a similar reason. I got to give it to Rafe and another excellent practitioner
of the language that the Dvorie are depicted as speaking. I think that the reason he worked his way into my drunks
remote a slot on my notepad was just that moment
where he's like so fucking pumped about turning
his trembles into rages is just such a special moment
in this episode.
And the script math of he is fucking doomed
at that moment is so apparent in that in that scene that
That it only makes it more tragic
Yeah, so he got my drunks remote at this time and I'm pouring the last of my wine into my glass
Yeah, I'm working on my last also last whining it
Do you know his character name and starship troopers was Kitten Smith? I saw that when I looked him up on IMDB because I was like that's
the guy from Starship Troopers and I just wanted to like double check before I
said it on the episode. Yeah. And right before we started recording I like IMDB
Starship Troopers and I was like K kitten Smith. Okay. Did not know.
Got the life of an actor is just so interesting. Like I'm looking through
Matt Levine's IMDB and it's like
2010, 2013, 2017, 2020. Like fuck. Yeah. He's really good. He's really good.
He's really good. He's really good. He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. in four episode five is called Revolion.
Belana and the doctor respond to a distress call
and come to the aid of a malfunctioning hologram.
Sounds like a jab for the doctor, right?
Oh yeah.
Hey Doc, fix this.
Doc!
You made a malfunctioning hologram?
I have a character on Voyager?
Are we gonna get more 709, do you think?
Yeah, maybe.
It would be amazing if they just set 709 to the side and went back to Voyager episodes
as usual.
Just for like a long time.
We'll see you at the season finale.
So. Just for like a long time. We'll see you at the season finale.
Wow, well I'm gonna head over to the game of but holes
Will of the caretaker and
Set up our
Board game. Where are the top rope and?
We're in the 90s now.
We could hit a space butthole that would take us down
to an n-sickery episode, which would require us to do tons
and tons of research and find lots of real facts
out about this episode.
Oh, God, please don't let us do that.
People always love those and never get mad at us
for the facts that we find out.
I do not want that.
You're required to learn as you play.
Roll.
We've been rolling a lot of sixes lately so I wouldn't be totally shocked if that happened.
Alright.
Roll the bone.
Oh, but I rolled the four.
Tula!
Did I win?
Hardly.
So we're on square 96.
Nice.
This is a regular old episode next week.
This puts us one roll away from a Mornhammered episode.
It feels like we've been doing a lot of drinking lately, Ben.
I know.
This has become a very drunk show, the greatest show.
I know, but one thing we've learned about the show lately is that the
Mornhammered it's not a guaranteed thing like you don't have to do a Mornhammer to get back to the bottom of the of the game
You know what we should do we should put another square on the board
Called the brown zone
And here's what you do the The entire episode, you're doing curls.
Wow.
Hahaha.
Curls or like shoulder press, like whatever it is,
you just keep it in motion.
Just keep working out.
The whole time, you don't take breaks between your reps.
Maybe you're squatting.
Like you're squatting.
You're up to the mic, you're squatting.
You're down here, you're back to the mic, you're doing it all. you're up to the mic you're squatting You're down here you're back to the mic. You're you're doing it all go ahead and veto that idea
I think that's a terrible idea and we'll make for bad pot
prone zone belongs on the board just as much as the one where you're making a fucking macaroni plate model
Come on
It's just as valid as that brown zone
I
Could be persuaded, but I think it can't be also kick the traveler off of there. You know it belongs on there. Hey nerds
Wow, we've got some edits to the board game. All right, Felipe if you're listening some interesting
Directives coming down from Adam today,
I think these are good ideas.
Ehhh, some of them are.
Ha ha ha.
Come on, man.
Enter the Bronze Zone.
All right, well, I'm looking forward
to next week's normal ass episode.
I'm gonna drink the last of my glass of wine right now.
Wow, yeah, this has been a great app.
I love a wine drinking app.
I think it's better than the champagne app.
Wow.
Or the sparkling wine app, I think.
Well, mine was sparkling, but it wasn't champagne.
So, I mean, like, fuck you.
Delicious.
I can tell. Next week, normal episode. Thank you. Delicious.
Next week, normal episode. Thank you too.
Adam Ragusio made our amazing theme music.
The Card Daddy who runs our social media at greatest trek.
Wendy Pretty who produces this program.
Nick Dittmore who makes the art.
The Miriam friends of DeSoto who gather in all the places using the hashtag greatest
gen. They're also on the discord at drunkshimodo.com. They also came out to see our live shows in
droves. True. So happy to see so many friends of Disoto out there. Maybe we're promoting a
live show at the beginning of this episode.
I don't know. We don't know.
So much could happen in between now and when this episode comes out.
We're recording a month ahead.
You could be in the live show's own.
Yeah.
Brown up.
Or grown out.
This is a good show that I'm proud of.
It's been a lot of fun.
With that, we will be back at you next week with another great episode of Star Trek Voyager
and episode of the greatest generation voyager that would never put on a knife strap on, ever.
This episode was fun until that part.
What do you do, Will?
The next episode as the guy from Seven that does that.
In it.
Yeah.
It wasn't his fault. It was fucking Kevin Spacey's fault, he's a fucking monster!
This a terrible person in the movie and in real life!
Cool, but you know what really helps the end of this episode a Kevin Spacey reference?
Hmm, yeah.
He really dug deep to play a dirt bag in that move.
We really need to hit stop before you make it somehow worse.
I'm ready to go back to the Bronze Zone.
Yeah, why did we ever leave the Bronze Zone?
That was a mistake.
Let's just turn around and head for the Bronze Zone.
Yeah.
What if we just started reviewing Star Trek and Reverse from here?
Yes.
And what if we were just doing Bicep Curls during?
I'm not really willing to work out that much.
I'm done!
