The Greatest Generation - Bajoran Gothic (DS9 S1E14)

Episode Date: January 15, 2018

When Nog and Jake inherit a boat load of a Cardassian condiment, they propose a deal where anything more than nothing should be a win. But as Major Kira oversees the construction (and then the destruction) of an out of the way Bajoran Pizza Kitchen franchise, her gamble on diplomacy has her losing her shirt. Is Morn packing a hammer? What ever happened to “Genital Knees”? Is there anything higher than empire? It’s the episode that dares you to eat a sauce you don’t understand!

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 friendsofdecisoto for labor.com. That's friendsofdisoto for labor.com. Link in the episode description. Okay, now let's get on with the show. Here's to the finest crew in Space 9, a Star Trek Deep Space 9 podcast by a couple of guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Deep Space 9 podcast. I'm Ben Harrison.

I'm Adam Pryanaka. Did you prepare your body for today's episode? Ben. I did prepare my wife. I called her up and I said, when you get home, I will be useless. I think we had the same afternoon because my wife's like, hey, I'm getting off work early. I'm gonna come home and we can hang out and I was like, actually, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm hanging out with Ben on the internet and we're getting drunk talking about Star Trek Theop Space Nine.

There's many ways to keep the flame lit in a relationship at him. That's not one of them. You mean by- It's not in my experience. By just throwing the candle into the ocean. Hahaha. What are you gonna be drinking today, here buddy?

If you were served a glass of bourbon this size at a bar, it would be irresponsible of the bartender. Hahaha. And- You're doing a John Caprice on live dope live deal boys size glass of bourbon. That is a unit of measurement. I am very familiar with that is exactly what I'm having. And I also have three backup beers.

All right. I'm doing some cleaning out the liquor cabinet because one thing that, one strange side effect of my lifestyle over the last several years is that I was making a documentary and making a cocktail podcast at the same time. And so I was flying back and forth across the country and I wound up building up what I called the West Coast Bar. Yeah. I have recently recovered the West Coast Bar, which is nearly as big as all of my booze from my East Coast collection. So I've got a lot of duplicates. And today the project is Get rid of as much white tequila as I can. Wow. I've got some white tequila.

How much white tequila do you have in West Coast Bar. West Coast Bar came with about a half full bottle of Hornitos Plata and a nearly full bottle of silver patron. Ooh. So I'm going to mix it with tonic water to start and probably will wind up running out of tonic water and just drinking

it straight. But in the meantime, Adam, I thought I would suggest something to do with this marion that isn't us just talking about booze is that we have not played the card game in a long time. We have not gone to war. I'm ready to go to war with you. The holidays are over. Where more?

There's been no formal declaration of war. Maybe they'll take you a branch of luck. That nonsense is centuries behind us. Why? On the mark! Ben, you know how this goes. Whenever we play war against each other, we flip over three cards from the Star Trek, the

next generation. What is the game called? The customizable card game, and we are using white border addition cards, which means something. And yeah, my deck is already shuffled, so I'm pretty much ready to go. It sounds like you're shuffling, so I'll take the opportunity to put some tequila in my glass. I was just taking the opportunity to make sure we were on the open up. I slid my deck over to you and you didn't even cut it for me.

Just gave it that knock. Yeah, I just tapped it on the top. I trust you. Alright, I'm ready to go. I know you're dealing off the bottom one way or the other. I got that mechanic script, Ben. If you catch a hanger, I'm gonna be real pissed. All right, three, two, one, flip. I have emergency transponder arm bands, which is an interrupt card. Oh man. Do better than that.

I think I might have that beat. I have Instant Callaway. That's O'Callaway. A medical technician that served on the USS Enterprise in 2370. A lovely young woman with integrity of 7, cunning of 5, and strength of 3. I don't know, man. I don't know if you have emergency transporter arm bands beat. These devices allow quick remote activation of a transporter when in danger. Now, the fair lieutenant could present some danger that I'm not aware of. That's

necessitating the need to emergency transport away. Alright, you've got me convinced. I'm just going to manipulate you with every flip. Three, two, one. I have flipped over a card with a Romulan on it, name of Mirak, the scientist in charge of developing and testing the interface generator in 2368. This is a man with a shockingly low integrity of three, a cunning of eight, and a strength of seven. Always a game of chess with Mirac.

Ben in this round of war, Mirac goes up against combat vessel. You may be familiar with this vessel as the Hoopty Low Rider class of vessels that hung out in the surplus depot, Z15. It's still like murdered out all black everything vessel. Yeah, this is the one that took one light hit on itself and a explode because it was so full of fireworks. Tell me something Ben does Mirac explode when you hit him with a phaser? No, but I think Mirac was the guy that invented that thing that made Jourity and Row go invisible and have

that Ferris Bueller chase through the entrepreneur with another Romulan, so. Was he the first guy to wear a cat basket on screen? Oh, I don't think he blazed that particular trail. That wasn't him. screen. Oh, I don't think he blazed that particular trail. That wasn't him. The Mirac Memorial Cat Basket that wasn't him. Oh, but he was the guy that ran out a window and then like did weightless summer salts outside. Yeah, that might have been one of his buddies, but that's we're talking about the same episode. Okay, I'm with you. Yeah, I think Mir Mirac Winds buddy. I think I think taking Like like showing up flexing like you're that hard and then blowing up with one hit is Real real bush league shit. I

Couldn't disagree with you more But for the sake of the game. I do want to go to our third round, Ben. So let's do that. You want there to be some suspense here? Yeah. Okay. Three, two, one. Flip.

Ben, I have ship poopy. It's microbiotic colony, and it's a picture of the poopy that was on the poch. Rare subatomic spaceborne life form that can cause severe damage to a starship's hull. It's a dilemma, Ben. I might have the engineer from the poch here. I've got Klingon engineer Kram. Reputed to have consumed 15 rokeg blood pies

at one sitting. Hahaha. Uh, crumb is a, stands back crumb, huh? What weighs in it? An integrity of five, a cunning of six, and a strength of eight. Distrinkth mean appetite in this case. I think it probably does. One of these things is just some interplanetary poopy. The other is a Klingon Engineer. A forgotten Klingon Engineer.

By the way, how much damage could a single Klingon Engineer do compared to Space poopy? He probably needs a buddy to put a gun together out of his uniform. This is ship dysentery we're talking about. I don't know. I think we need something a little more definitive. What do you say we go to a special round four? Okay, I'm down for round four. All right.

The next clear winner wins war today. Do you want to count it off? Three, two, one. Oh man. Speaking of phased matter at him, got a card with Lieutenant Ro. Pfft. Pfft.

Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Come in halfway out of a wall. She's like walking through the door that is closed. This is a dilemma card. Phase matter. Phase personnel vibrate out of sync with normal matter rendering them undetectable, phased

people cannot interact with non-phased people. A way team is split into two away teams, owner's choice. Only the smaller team may beam up until engineer and science present. I could present to Ensign Roe. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha in pad. Some thing that is no match for a phased ensign row or anyone else I think. So I think you got me in the crown of war. There's not many cards that don't have ensign row on them that would beat one that does. Yeah, agreed. Like combat vessel would be defeated by Odson Row. For sure.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Well, congratulations, Ben. Good job, baby. Oh, it feels good to win. It feels good to have something go my way for once in my miserable life. What do you say we turn the page

and start talking about this episode we came here to talk about today, Adam. It's an episode that we agreed to do drunk. It's Deep Space 9 season 1 episode 14. Progress! No, of course you don't. This episode starts out with a familiar close-up, handful of playing cards. It's not even Jake playing a bit of poker. You know, if we wanted to take each other's roles, we could have just stayed home. I was surprised to see standard, like, bicycle playing cards being used in the scene. Like they didn't even try to to space up the cards, right? Yeah, they're not even like silver hologram playing cards or anything.

They aren't even the big type cards that you use to play with your grandparents. They never used weird, spacey cards on TNG though. Did they? I think the space poker scenes had back sides that were like foil. Like they looked like special foil cards on the back. Hmm. Well, these are not those, unfortunately. They're just some regular-ass throwback cards.

I guess they're into baseball, so maybe it stands to reason that they'd also be into old-timey Playing cards. That makes sense. Hey, uh, get a load of these cards. I found Jake They're from a place called Walgreens Aren't these hilarious? Dad, you got the pinoccle set the pinoccal set. Nag is having a tough time focusing on the game because he's overhearing his uncle quirk rip into one of the employees about having purchased way too much yamak sauce. I'm gonna take half your paycheck every week for the next six years. Cocks okay. By way By way too much, we're given a quantity

we've never heard before. They're romages. Rommages of Yamax sauce. My head can and indicates like, this is sort of a Yoshida's teriyaki sauce situation, right? Yeah, I wonder how many romages of vomit I will produce if I consume all the tequila I have here. Like, you ever go to a Costco and see the cases of Yoshida sauce?

And the guy, like the Yoshida's guy, he sort of has a mascot. Like, he's the Yoshida's man. And sometimes he's wearing a cowboy hat. I like to think that there's a, there's a cowboy hat wearing, wearing Cardassian on the side of these Yamakas cases, right? I, I just really admire your confidence that anybody knows what the fuck crazy Costco thing you're talking about, Adam. I think it's fucked up that we never see what the Yamaksas looks like. They

don't even show it to us. Yeah, is Yamaksas a perishable good? I don't know, because we never go into a walk-in cooler to see it. We never get to see Quark taking a Scrooge McDuck style treasure bath in the Yamaksas. What we get is quark saying it's disgusting, but like I wanna know it's disgusting. Show, you know what kids do when they find a sauce they don't understand, Ben, is they eat it and they dare each other to eat it. Like, I don't really get the sense

that Jake and Nogga are close friends, because neither of them dares the other to like mix it around in their chocolate milk. Yeah, Yomick stays off screen. It is merely seen as a potential come up for the boys who decided to take position of this Yamakas and look to sell it for five bars of Goldpress Ladnam, which are kind of the scarves of Deep Space Nine, I guess. This obsession with the Ladnam from Nag is on the one hand understandable because he's emulating behavior of the adults around him. Yeah. But on the other hand, this was such an opportunity

to build out Nog's character a little bit by telling us something he may be interested in buying with the Latinum. Yeah. But we don't get that. There's never that secondary step of like, I need to get the Latin so I can do this It's just about the Latin them. He never stops off at the music store and looks at the guitar and the right

Lucite case Right, and I kind of like I wanted to know more about Nog's motivation and I guess maybe the answer is in the question, which is like, if you're a Ferenge, all you want is that Latinum. And that is, it is its own value. I guess so. That is, this story B, I will say, getting kicked off story a is starting up on the command deck where Cisco and the gang are overseeing some

Some science that is taking place to prepare the fifth moon in an orbit of beige or For becoming a power plant They're gonna like tap the molten core of this moon, turn it into a power generator that I guess beams energy back to the surface and it's going to heat 100,000 homes this winter. It's the clean coal of moonspan. What is Beijor's level of technology? Man, that is a great question. It seems barely post-industrial, right?

Right, it seems like kind of contemporary in a weird way, but if you have spaceships, you should be able to heat homes, right? Yeah, exactly. But the last time we visited Beijor, they believed in some weird goo ghost. So like, it must totally vary around the planet. Yeah. They just need to get their grid, you know, up to date. Because I feel like one, you plug one warp reactor into the grid, you're going to be able to power all the homes you need to power.

Even the end of pollution warns for the whole world. They need to send the elevator back down. You know what I'm saying? They need to bring everyone up to the same level. You get people on Bezier, live in a hut completely unpowered, and then you have what I imagine to be like totally modern looking cities with modern people doing modern work. Like where is the Elon Musk of Beijor who's like, this is fucking ridiculous, let's just

have some solar power already. I'll tell you where he's not. He's not on this fifth moon bin because they do a scan of the moon first. I think that's a smart idea. He wanna make sure that no one's living on the moon and they find a couple of people and they get those guys off, but it's Dax and Kira that take a runabout to this place

to do some close up looking. I guess this is a moon of the size that they couldn't scan it remotely. They've got to like do a grid pattern search on it. Yeah, do it do like a last-minute idiot check Make sure there's no people running around down there. That's a good idea Yeah, sure enough they lived up one of the couch cushions And yeah, there's there's three humanoid life signs down on the surface, which I feel like we shouldn't cruise past the thing that they discuss immediately proceeding this, which is that DAX came

very close to going on a date with Morn, the Shriveled Up prune man that's always sitting at Quirksbar. Yeah, you got to believe the Shriveled Up carpet matches the shriveled up drapes, right? You're saying he has six or eight weary pubes? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That is what I'm saying. I think more and probably keeps it pretty trimmed up down there.

I think Morn's packing a hammer also. Yeah, come on. What's Morn's crank look like? Let's talk about that for the next 30 or 40 minutes. Is it a stack saying this to fuck with, Gera? What'd you say? I thought I was busy. Good. Based on Kira's reaction, I'm assuming that's why.

But, like, I don't really get the sense that Dax has much of a sense of humor. I know, like, she's very dry if she does. Yeah. I like this piece of dialogue so much because it really has nothing to do. It's only there to develop character and build world. It doesn't drive the plot. It doesn't really have anything to do with what's going on in the episode specifically.

It's not planting something that needs to be paid off later. It's just some shop talk in universe, which is something I love. One of the things that they could have done here that they depend on our head can and to do instead is like, when you live seven lifetimes, the things that you're interested in sexually have got to be so fucking weird.

Like, when you're 700 years old, I think more and is probably a fairly interesting conquest for you. Yeah. Right? You probably are far less superficial than someone who only lives a single lifetime, right? I've had enough nice looking penises. Now, I'm going to go for the shirbled up gray one. I'm going to go for the hammer with the pointy stuff coming out of it.

The Ben Grimm of Penises. So there's three people down there and Kier's like, fuck, alright, I've got the funny nose, I'll go down and talk to him. And she goes and beams down to the hobbitin of assholes. And the two pejorans that are standing around start coming at her with farm implements. Like, there's nothing but gourds and rustic shit laying around. And these two, like angry espagoras,

come at her with these Pokey farm implements. And we get the reveal of their third mullibok, who manages to convince his friends not to flake here right then and there. The problem is they don't like uniforms. Mullabuck calls off the Pajoran gothic security system that he has. That's how it is hurt. Yeah, and man, Adam, these are just some cornpone Pajoran redcks, and they ain't going nowhere for no one. The A story is Kira playing Pierce Brosnan's character in Dante's Peak.

The B story is Noggin Jake playing Red Paperclip. Yeah, indeed it is. They get on Craigslist with this Yamak sauce. And they find a freighter captain on the ship who, on the station, who sort of like he looks like he climbed up the loaf tree and then fell down and hit every branch on the way down. This guy is willing to do business with them, but he's not going to pay them for the Yamaksas. He is interested in trading for it. Did you already finish your bourbon? No, I'm starting to go back and forth now.

You know, turning this into a boiler maker situation. Be is for breakfast, Randy, a drink will be gone. Ah, I just like, you know, I'm going with like a shot in a beer format right now. Noggin' Jake end up trading the sauce, Ben. They trade it for bolts. So sealing stumbles. Top grade merchandise.

It's another thing that they don't really understand the usefulness of. They're much in the red paperclip kind of way. They're like, well, maybe this has value to someone. It's the kind of ignore that investing advice that is like you should really know like what is good about a company that you're investing in. Let's buy. Let's buy 100 shares. Alright, click it in there. Okay. How about 500? 100 stories.

Ah, blah, blah. And yeah, they, I mean, it's a weird episode because they, you know, like they'll, they'll be standing in the cargo hold and Chief O'Brien will come in and they'll be like, yeah, we got all these stem bolts and he's like, well, what are they for? And they're like, you don't know? And I guess this is an imagined future that doesn't have a searchable database, like Wikipedia or anything on it.

So they can't find out what self-stealing stumbles are for. So they're they're playing us to try and find the guy that wanted them in the first place. I guess this I guess this freighter cap then had a range to sell them to a bejure and who wound up not having enough dough to compensate him for the stem bolts. And like me at the negotiating table, Nog is like, would you pay five bars of Latinum for these and the guys like, well, I don't, and he's like four.

And the guy in the other line's like, well, the thing is, and he's like three. And he did it me into it. I will give you a few bars of crowed bless Adam if you take them off my hands right if I'm Jake right now I mean don't I want to get out of business with this guy soon as possible Jake is like art is it aren't you guys supposed to be naturally predisposed to be in good at this the thing about this whole deal is that anything more than nothing is a win, but even that's not guaranteed here.

Like, they could end up losing big time on something that they got for free. Yeah, because they get the, they got the gamux sauce for free because Quirk is just so angry that he has it in the first place. He says, like, just get it out of here, do whatever you want with it. And so yeah, anything they get is going to be pure profit.

I thought it was funny that Quark is angrier at ROM for ordering too much teriyaki sauce. Then he was for the attempted murder that ROM tried to visit upon him a couple episodes ago. Like he fucking tears him a new one. Back on this moon, we're getting to know the people that live there. There are two, the two, uh, Bajur and Gothics who, uh, it is explained that they don't speak because the Cardassians, which is code for, they don't speak because the Cardassians, which is code for they don't speak because the budget. And Kira starts to really like connect with Mullabock.

Also Mullabock's kind of a dick. Yeah, Mullabock is, I think he's like trying to get Kira mad. How am I doing? So he's like kind of cat calling her and stuff? Not well enough to get rid of me. Damn. She pretty much does not put up with it. She's given him the volcano pitch. It began tapping the core of this moon in seven days.

I know. She's like, look, mining is going to start happening and the air is going to turn into poison and then you're going to die. So,. So what do you say you clear out and come with me and we'll resettle you on Beijor? It'll be great. It'll be just like this. You can be as alone and as assholy as you want to. And mullabuck like the old lady on the volcano refuses to leave. Let me explain how remote some parts of Beijor are. There's this one town where there's a giant sperm in the sky. And it comes once a year and nearly destroys the town. Nobody else is aware of this.

Nobody on the entire rest of the planet even knows about it. Would you like to live in the lava lamp district? That can be yours. Yeah, but this guy is, you know, he's real set in his ways and he's lived on this moon for 40 years. Like, he escaped the Cardassians very early in his life and lived there by himself under very hard circumstances for a long time. It sounds like. Even though his home and the climate here is like

Carl's bad in the spring. Like, right. There is nothing oppressive about his life as we see it right now. If I leave here I'll die. So I'd rather die here. Well this is one thing that I really wondered about this moon was like this seems like really good, arable land, like they have nothing but gourds lying around everywhere.

Yeah, why are they destroying it? This seems like a bad way to get energy in this time and place. It doesn't make sense. It sure doesn't, Adam. I feel like arable land is always the most valuable thing in a place. Air also a most valuable thing in a place. Air, also a super valuable thing.

Mullabock totally puts the shoe on the other foot with Kira because as they get to know each other, Mullabocks, so how do you finally get rid of those cardies? You must have stabbed dozens of them, right? Curious like, well, I mean, we basically like resisted our way into them leaving. And mullaback sort of farm implements. Yeah. Mullaback sort of furrows his brow and he's like, oh, so you resisted the thing that you

didn't want to get what you wanted in the end? Huh. I can't remember that. And then just sort of stares out in the middle distance. Like, yeah. That's what he's going to do. So, Kira's disclosing of her history is sort of gives Mullipack the reason he needs to not listen to her in a weird way.

He's like, thank you for that awesome bit of strategy. All right. Well, I'm going to hang out and continue to live my life. I'm going to continue to build this outdoor wood fired pizza oven that I've been working on. Uh, and, uh, you can fuck off because I'm going to keep living here. So bye. I'm not sure if you've ever had bejorin pizza inside a pizza oven. The bottom of that crust gets really nice,

nice and blistered. Yeah, you like the little, like just the right amount of burning to kind of give it a little crackle when you crunch into it. It's delicious. It's really nice. You can't do it without a wood fired oven. I also like to make my like partly charmed by Molo Bach and partly, partly identifies with him. You know, his struggle is the struggle that she went through and she doesn't want to be the fucking jack

booted thug that runs him off of his land. She doesn't want to become what she set out to destroy. That's no good. This is the most interesting part of the episode to me, is when this is made clear by Cisco. Cisco gets word that Kira is like hanging around building pizza ovens on this moon that they're supposed to destroy. He sort of couches it in a administrative problem for himself in that boy

I really don't want to go through the trouble of hiring another person to take care of his place I better go down there and see what's what well Let's not jump ahead too much because it for like the the first Attempt as he sends her with to like guys with guns One of these guys is one of the biggest security dudes I've ever seen in Star Trek. Yeah, he actually looks like he could be a security dude. They sort of shoot him from like below the chest

and it even makes him look, it makes him look even more enormous. Yeah. His communicator looks like the size of a dime. This guy's, I think this guy played Jason. I clicked on his thing on the IMDB and his picture is of him in the like the Jason hockey mask. The cane hotters, the only Jason actor that I really know. Name of Tom Morgan.

I just clicked on Tom Morgan. He was also in Star Trek 6. What did he play in Star Trek 6? Look at the genital knees. He's got to be genital knees guy, right? Yeah, that's the only, he's too big not to be genital Neskay. Oh boy, he's in a lot of Star Trek by the by.

I feel like there's like half a dozen actors who like got in with the Star Trek casting people and just get to play characters over and over again. He's known as the brute in Star Trek 6, which may or may not be genital knees guy. That is got to be genital knees guy. That's got to be him. That's great. These guys, yeah, like these guys go off to get bejure and gothic and they come back and one of them has been stabbed and mullabuck is like, Hey you, get your damn hands off.

What proceeds is like a pretty intense scuffle that winds up with Mullibok getting shot. They have to bring the sheer down, it's real touch and go. He's taken a nasty phaser to the chest. Yeah, and when you're an old about the last thing you want as a phaser shot to the chest. Yeah, and when you're an old about the last thing you want is a phaser shot to the chest. Yeah, I mean, I guess, like, I feel like in some instances in Star Trek, the phaser is a pretty dial-inable weapon, you know?

Like, the ideal non-lethal weapon would be one that you can count on to incapacitate somebody and never kill them. And that's not something that has ever been developed, but is something that you could see a use for. And I think that in some Star Trek episodes, the phaser is that. I mean, others, it's not. Like, did this guy have his phaser? Like, did he turn the knob so that it was directly in between kill and stun like it's like right on the line like oh Shit just a little bit to the left and it would have the guy would have been flying It seems like in a in a universe this far in the future

There would be such a thing as a weapon that is not only Non-lethal, but non-harmful Yeah, and a phaser is not that. A phaser continues to harm. Yeah. The federation continues not to practice what it preaches. And this guy is in bad shape. So, Bashir, like, you know, the guy for for phaser and Has the the farm hands Evacuated and when Bashir gets back to the station. He's like well, that's fucked up I think what we should do Ben is go and like take that guy out of there forcefully and so this goes like Hey listen like I can't lose Kira over this one

rustic. So what I need you to do right now is stand here and act out that she needs to look after him for a couple of days. I love that Beshear gives Cisco the what to what on Kira and and Cisco's like well how bad is it? Bishir is like well she took off her shirt And Cisco's like oh fuck I gotta get down there. I Didn't realize that I didn't realize the tunic was was hanging on a coat rack. This is serious Those but Jorin girls wear a high-waisted pant, Adam. Is there anything higher than Empire?

Is that like Empire State Waste? Ha ha ha ha ha. Romulan Star Empire Waste. Yeah. That, uh, that was so high though. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

It really like, I feel like I'd never really thought of Kira's uniform as being like ridiculously sexy until now. And now I feel like it's all I can focus on is like how tight those pants are. Yeah, there's a lot going on under that tunic. Yeah, holy mackerel. Well, anyways. So Jake and Nug do that thing where you crumple a piece of paper while talking on the phone to somebody so that they think that they're static on the line and they call up this bejorin who tried to buy these bolts.

And they say like, hey man, like with the Noggin, the Nog Jake consult you. We'll sell you these bolts, and they wind up with not Latinum but land. And Nog, another weird, weird blind spot for the Ferengi does not see the value of land. And Jake really does. So at the end of taking this deal, they trade bolts for land and and Nug is again disappointed in his fortune.

Right, because every time a trade goes down, Nug feels pissed off that he's, you know, still doesn't have any Latinum. Like he doesn't care about anything but Latinum. And yeah, like this is like we said, like he doesn't seem to have a plan for what he would do with Latinum. It's that he wants it. Which sort of makes me uninterested in the B story, TPH. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you, I'm sure you do, like I've met people in my life who stated goal in life is to make as much money as possible. And you know, our working in fields like banking

or whatever, where that's like all anybody is there to do is make as much money as possible. And I feel like I rarely met people who are trying to make as much money as possible for no reason other trying to make as much money as possible for no reason other than to make as much money as possible. Yeah, that seems weird. If you drill down, there's always something driving that. Yeah.

Yeah. And there's not even the amorphous drive to him that's like, I want to impress my dad. There isn't even that. drive to him that's like, I want to impress my dad. There isn't even that. Which would be totally credible for him. Like, he's like- That would be the most credible motive. It would be, it would be like,

I not only want my dad to see me as a real-life businessman, but like, I want the respect that comes with that. And I want to be like on the same level. And if I'm able to turn garbage into Latinum, then I'm gonna be that guy. But there's not even a whiff of that. It would have been so easy to write that into the script, too,

because the way this storyline winds up wrapping up is Noggin Jake sitting in the bar playing cards again and like overhearing Odo who comes in and is not doing security man shit is just trying to find the Jake Nog consortium or whatever and everybody's like who could that be? And the reason he's trying to find them is because the pejoran government wants to build a wreck center on the land that Jacob and Nog acquired. And so they then go talk to Quark about

brokering this deal, which is like, that's when you have it reveal Quark slapping Nog on the back going out of boy. You're really finally starting to come in your own as a little forangi. Would be a very easy thing to like add to that scene without adding to like the amount of time this B story takes up in the script. But also like, the way it is arranged that Quark is gonna do this deal is so stupid

because they just sell him the land at the price that they wanted to get for the fucking sauce. And what they should do is say, hey, Quark, you can get 10% of the sale price of this land if you cut the deal. This whole setup felt like a trap to me that I didn't believe when I was watching it. When Odo and Quark just happened to walk by discussing this,

I was like, Jake Nug, LLC, is being entrapped right now. Odo totally has sniffed out this bit of business happening here, and he's going to like, reprimand them or something. That's what I thought was happening. And for it to be a totally credible piece of business that happens later, the consequence of which is like, business gets done.

Ram gets money, Jake gets money, Jake rom, Jake nog gets, fuck, I keep confusing ramen and nog. Yeah, you know why? Because at this point, who gives a shit? Jake's like, what, 14, 14 or 15? You can bet every time Cisco leaves him at home, he's making some Jake Nog of his own. He's rating Cisco's liquor cabinet

and making a little Jake Nog. No, man, that's not how I meant that. He's making Jake-nog. I'm just trying to not, because I know that we'll get the fuck out of him. You're trying to not be gross, right? The fucking deluge of emails going like, it's really just not cool to talk about somebody underage having a sexuality at all even. Yeah, I'm sure it's totally wrong. Thanks. I'll file your email where I put the rest of them. Now everybody knows that Adam and I are our child sex enthusiasts. that Adam and I are child sex enthusiasts. What this comedic construction presupposes is, maybe we're not?

Now, when you write in a pithy email to your favorite podcast house, you're going to want to be as pedantic as possible. That way, you cut down the social justice tree that you accuse in your host of being. Thus making yourself look like the uncaring, pilot-gabbage that your host assume you to be. We're using an oscillating spindle santa to grind off some of the rough edges of this email and make it nice and fluffy so that the underlying condescension doesn't present itself until the second paragraph

Edmund Brinn, you may have made a podcast that I listen to but don't get it in your in your minds that You're above being condescended to by me. Somebody you've never heard of I'm a man of special kind of tension. Well, if it's coming from you, cabin. Go to Kotlka, go to Kotlka, so... Cisco takes a runabout to plan a pizza oven. And he convinces Kira that, hey, why don't you put your tunic back on BTW? You're on the other side of the power imbalance that you're used to, so how does that feel? And it fucking cuts her down. Like she like takes a knee, it is so gut punchy to her.

It's not that Cisco is wrong about any of this, and it's not that he's cruel to her and it its truth, but it's as if this is the first time the Kira is really taken the heart, the idea of like what the gun and the badge mean to her as someone who used to be like part of the resistance. I think that that is like such an interesting character dynamic for her and an amazing bit of character development for for Nana visitor to to go through. I mean, I think she does a great job with this. Yeah, she does not ham and she's this moment. She does what she has done the entire season up until now, which was like, go 9.5 out of 10 on the reaction and she feels a big. Oh, so her name pronounced Nanah visitor. Can I feel like maybe we've been mispronouncing that. Look, Ben, we've been saying Nana from the start

and we have not received a single email correcting our pronunciation. So I think I can only assume we're right, right? I think I watched an interview and they were like, what's up with your name being Nana? And she was like, that's just with my parents name to me. Can I tell you that I ran into her at the Star Trek Discovery premiere in LA?

No, shit. Uh, she is, she is really breathtaking. Yeah, no kidding. I just wanted to say that. Yeah, was she wearing pants that stopped like just under her armpits? She's got shock white hair right now. Yeah, I've seen that IMDB picture of her. That's a look, man. Yeah, it's great. It's strong. Strong look. I'd like to see her in more stuff. Yeah. What's she working on right now?

I don't know. I don't know, man. Isn't there enough fucking prestige television that she could get something? Someone give her a Netflix series. Would watch. Watch the shit out of that. Sticker in mind hunter.

Yeah, mind hunter, season two.. Well Adam, she goes to sleep, you know, in the chair as Mollabok convalesces from his phaser wound and in the morning she wakes up and old boy has gotten out of bed and gone outside to finish his pizza. You're gonna want to season that oven before you stick food in it, right? You gotta fire that thing up for a while. You're gonna get the volatile organic compounds out of the construction materials, you know? Sure. They always ship with stuff on them that you don't want to get in the food. Yeah.

Kira wakes up and goes out into the patio, and she's like, you can get pizza on Beijor, bitch. And like sets her face her to explode, and then shoots the pizza oven. Yeah. What the hell are you doing? Saving your life. That was actually how my wife got me

to move from New York to LA. She phased her with your big green egg. She said, you can get pizza in LA, bitch. Turns out it's not true. You haven't found that great LA pizza? You know, the best pizza I've had in LA so far has been pizza that I made myself. That doesn't surprise me. You're a great cook.

I've been making pizza for 20 years. But what's frustrating about that is like, so there's nothing environmentally about LA that makes it impossible to have good pizza. It's that all of the restaurants that make it aren't good at it. It's a choice. It's a choice, Adam. That is so frustrating. Oh!

Anyway, Ace, she blows up the pizza and gets a torch and he's begging her, like, don't do something stupid, as long as that cabin is standing, I'm staying here. And she goes up to the cottage, this torch. And it turns out it is incredibly flammable, this cottage. Like she touches the torch to it and the fire takes. There's nothing about it when you look at it that presents as extremely flammable. I feel like in most cities and most neighborhoods, you couldn't hold a flaming stick to a building and have it light on fire.

That's what happens here. It didn't have a grass roof or anything. It's a hobbit hut. It's built out of good building materials, And yet somehow it is so combustible. It is like, man, this is the most dangerous house that has ever been built. Did Kira burn all her bullets on the pizza oven? Because it seems like using the face

there would have been more efficient. But the thing about the flaming torches, it's more dramatic and sad. It's the more humane version of data blowing up the water pipe in Entons of Command, you know? Yeah, that's a definite like thematic and emotional callback to this moment. This happens right after Kira says, look, when you're on Beijor, you and I can be friends. I need a friend there. And then she totally blows up his shit.

It's the most rugged let's be friends. Let down moment between a girl and a guy ever right. I feel like she's gonna she's gonna have climbed a Beijor and then pop in the DVD of Rath of Con and just have the part of the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few part queued up on it They like see you see mullibuk you see You fucking selfish fuck you fucking wanted your dumb little Poverty house over a hundred thousand people not freezing to death over the winter fuck you You think the Bayijor Chamber of Commerce, Visitors Bureau has that clip of O'Brien

fighting off Lothalamp Monster on Beijor? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha monsters. Get issued one of our charming local dashikis and try and fight it yourself. We've got power and running water in some places. I thought it was like a pretty effective end to the episode when she says two to beam up and it just fades to black. Like there's a nice amount of ambiguity in the ending. That felt very unique in the episodes that we've seen for our podcast so far in the almost 200 episodes. That feeling and that line and that fade felt especially dark. I think I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, I don't think they're gonna be friends after this.

Ben. No. I don't think they are. That is a long, awkward trip back to the station. Like, you can be sure Mollipot is riding in the conference room, a cabin of the runabout, right? Like, he's back there drumming his fingers on a table next to the fruit bowl.

Going, uh, yeah, I met Kira. She just kept talking in one long, incredibly, unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic. He's like, yeah, I just finished this Visitors Bureau DVD. Who's that guy with the curly hair? Plays it pretty dangerous if you ask me. At least on my moon there wasn't a big goober of Jake nog in the sky. You finally came around to it didn't you? Did you like this episode Adam? To wish it were better in the ways that we did doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad episode. Right. But there were just so many spots that feel like it could have used a punch up.

And a punch up that didn't require budget either. Like, you could dialogue fix this. Yeah, I think that it's such a weird episode because there are some, like that end is as good an ending as a track episode gets. And that's why I'm so conflicted with the answer to that question, is like the end is great,

but a lot that came up to that point is not. And I also just feel like Kira's journey in the episode is amazing. My second favorite scene is the Cisco dress down. You know, like the truth of Kira's circumstance is visited on her and then like that moment for Kira is amazing and yet even Ryker and Picard would argue. And I feel like this was, maybe Cisco's point

is so well taken that there's not even room for argument but if Kira is really going to be Cisco's equal in some way, I would have wanted a little more argument in this moment. But as it was like Cisco rides in on his white runabout and just like Devastator and then goes back. Like, it seemed too easy for him. Yeah. In a way that like the entire circumstance

was reading as complex. Cisco is almost exclusively playing the managerial role that he has in this episode. Yeah. And, and playing it in a very like Machiavellian way, where it's just like, yeah, don't have to hassle with coming up with a new Kira. So like, gonna go give Kira what she wants

to a certain extent. And Odo is like totally misused in the episode. Yeah. I would even say. Yeah. I neither like nor just like the episode. I think I just medium liked it and it had some good scenes in it, but that is my position. What about you, Ben? Sort of a cop out. No, I totally agree. I think that this is another one

of those early season episodes that shows the writers starting to kind of dig their fingernails into the thing that is amazing about the series, but not having the resolve to really like pull a chunk out to extend a metaphor of nothing this. Right. Yeah, and I mean, I think that like I'm really excited by a lot of this episode and also it's like Star Trek III where it's just like, God, like, we're just going to come fucking back to this set and have some people yelling at each other for a while. Okay. You know, judging from decades of movies and television, you would think that

Stubborn Old Guy is something that you run into all the time. think that stubborn old guy is something that you run into all the time. I think I'm getting a little tired of this as an A story, you know? We sure are Adam. You know what else we're getting a lot? A priority one message has been. What do you say we check those out? Priority one message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel. I need a supplement on that.

A supplement on that? A supplement. A supplement. Yeah, it's extra. The interest alone could be enough to buy this ship. Adam, we have a couple of fray or anyone messages here. The first one is from Brian Irwin, photo guy from DC show. Oh, hey, Brian.

What's up, Brian? We also met Brian at MaxFundCon East. He was a real sweet guy, and this is for my friends, Ben and Adam. And it goes like this. Results from MaxFundCon East's gin taste test. Bluecoat was the most popular. You luscious pounded it. Jordan Morris stink-eyed me when I reclaimed the bottles.

He figured I stole them. Ben, can you vouch for my character? Also, should I check out Discovery? I was going to sign up for PBS Online or whatever. But I spent my Star Trek budget on this message. Hahaha. Ah, fun. Yeah, I think, uh, I don't know. Like, if you're willing to spend $100 on a priority one message, I think you can probably

swing for like $9 for a month of CBS to watch Discovery. And I think Discovery's pretty good. So I wouldn't discourage anybody from doing that. I mean, as someone who spends their own money stupidly, most of the time, I'm not going to criticize anyone else's financial decisions, Ben. Brian took a couple, a series of great photos of our DC live show and then was at Max von

Kahnysen, it was like a real cool hang. So thanks for writing in, Brian. Thanks Brian. Our second priority one message comes from Sarah Giffin. It is four. James Anderson. Message goes like this. I'm sorry, the original ex-miss present. It's work. Because you're apparently a robot.

So this is your new present. Mary Christmas. Also, I want to formally ask you to marry me via this incredibly dorky podcast! WOOOOO! Hopefully, Adam and Ben will play the audio of Picard saying engage in our honor. No shit! TANG! Engage! Amazing!

Wow! A P1 proposal, Ben. One of the best things that can happen in a priority one message is one person throwing caution to the wind and declaring their undying love for another person. Congratulations, Sarah and James. Big ups to Sarah, specifically. Yeah, I hope this works out. If it works out great, I'll take all the credit. If it works out bad, I think you should blame Ben. Yeah, that's probably my fault.

Ben is a licensed wedding officiant. Also, yeah. So reach out. Yeah, let me know. I'm willing to make that lie true in order to officiate a wedding. Wow, well if you have a priority on message of your own, it doesn't have to be an engagement proposal. It can be anything, but at this point I sort of prefer if they are. You can go to maximumfund.org slash jambotron where personal messages like wedding proposals are $100 and commercial

messages are $200. It's a great way to propose to your future husband or wife. Yeah. And also support the greatest generation. Thanks guys. Now Adam, I hate to ask. But did you find yourself a drunk Shimoda?

A drunk Shimoda! Yeah, I did and it's one of those time code Shimodos. Time code Shimod. Follow me if you will. 14 minutes and 10 seconds. Okay. There's a moment in the episode where Nog and Jake are communicating

nonverbally across the bar. Yeah, they're doing like, they're doing like fist pumps at each other. And it's Jake that's just next to a stranger in the bar. And Jake fist pumps right next to someone who is drinking alone. And this woman is looking at Jake, like, I'm just trying to have a drink here.

What is it? She's like, hey, listen, I fully hear from Earth to interview for the job to replace Keko O'Brien as the head of the school. She totally looks like school principal. Yeah. Also, why are kids allowed in the bar? She looks totally irritated by Jake.

Jake doesn't need to be that close to her either. Like there's sort of an invasion of her personal space that's happening here that I don't like personally. She's like, your onesie is pretty not caffeine. It also smells like oatmeal. Yeah. So I'm going to give it to middle aged woman looking at Jake raising his arm. That's my drug, Shimoda.

Fair enough. What about you, Ben? I also have a timecode Shimoda. And, uh... It's being moved by me, closing the window. If you get it back open to 25 minutes and nine seconds, you've got the aftermath of the Bajorin security guy shooting our cornpone old Bajorin.

The Bajorin security guy kind of drops his gun and the old farmhand is there. And the old farmhand gets my shoe motive for being just so visibly dejected by the outcome of his struggle, the thought going through his head is like, I thought I was gonna wrestle this guy's pistol out of his hand and then fight these people off of our land.

And instead, my friend is dead. This guy's a real crack shot. Like, yeah. If you even graze a quarterbacks elbow during the throw, that ball is going all willy-nilly. And this guy is just draped on the security person. And- The security person who's already taken a rake stab to the gut.

Yeah. Like the guy's got blood all over his shirt because he's been stabbed. That guy's great. Give that guy a promotion. Give that security guy a promotion. And if you're evacuating this recalcitrant old man to the surface, maybe don't give him a great setup with his new life, you know. In the Bajorin witness protection program, like he doesn't get a cool job. I think Empire State Pants might be a thing for all Bajorins because when you get the two shot of Mullibak and Kira on the ground, Mullibak having just been shot, you sort of get to see up his costume and Lordy, those pants, those pants go all the way up. pants go all the way up.

Yeah, they really do. 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 Sherry Reembarishment 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 spaceweards. Pat Noswald. Could I get a Balrog burger and some air-gorn fries? Thank you.

And Kumail Nanjiani. I've come back with cat toothbrushes, which is impossible to use. Come get stupider with us at MaximumFun.org. Look, your podcast apps are already open. Just pull it out. Give Jordan Jesse Goatry. Being smart is hard. Be dumb instead.

Oh, rats, hey, hey, oh, I'm about to count you in mine. 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 have such short nacks. But I'm hearing we need to get on this horse. 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 same like something for us to check out. We would love to be on the boat. We came two by two. What do you think? Only Ross and Kerry available on MaximumFun.org. Ben, what do we have coming up on the next episode?

Which will also be a drunk episode. Yeah, we're gonna hang up right now and then record next week's episode immediately. So, the next episode, it's not even worth rolling the dabo wheel or whatever before because we're already in the bag and it's not like I'm gonna stop drinking at him. Now, the next episode, a season one episode 15, if wishes were horses, when members of the station find their fantasies coming to life, it becomes the prelude to a very real danger, which threatens everyone.

Hey, that sounds great. Yeah, that sounds like a fun one to drink for. I really like prelude episodes. Well, that will be our show next week. In the meantime, Adam, folks can connect with us on the internet by going to Twitter and using the hashtag GreatestGen. You're on there as at Cut for Time and I am on there as at BenjaminRAHR. They also have really lively and fun and cool Facebook and Reddit groups. If you go on Facebook and look for the GreatestGen group and the Reddit Great gen sub, they are great places to hang online and not the darkest and worst place in the world on the internet which almost every other part of the internet is these days.

Um... I'm not dressed properly. Ben, if you're listening to this episode on the week it comes out this is the week that we will be at San Francisco Sketchfest. Oh, shiiit! And if you are in around or within 300 miles of San Francisco, I would say you're obligated to go to this. Yeah, I'm hoping that we're sold clear by this point, but I hope you too. I hope you too. Go online and check it out.

If we're not, you know, it'd be cool to see you. Yeah, really would. I mean, we're probably already, we probably already will have blown up your spot about a rather show, Friendly Fire 2, which is which which we're doing live at sketchfest also but uh give us a try on a brand new show and a slightly different format something that uh we're both really proud of doing and I

hope it's the the first of many weird side car podcasts that you and I do far into the future. That's a beautiful thought, Adam, and I thought I have had to defend to my wife in many arguments. We should thank Dark Materia and Anne Fugusia for our theme music. And the great folks that go to maximumfund.org slash donate and support the show and the folks that go to maxfunstore.com and grab all of our merch items.
