The Greatest Generation - Consensual Mornhammer (DS9 S1E15)

Episode Date: January 22, 2018

When characters from imagination and fantasy start arriving without a ship, it ruins bedtime for Deep Space Nine. But when llamas turn into bangers, the crew’s dreams turn into nightmares. Does Writ...er Salad make a filling meal? What’s Jake going to do with that baseball bat? Will Adam ever learn how to pronounce ‘denouement?’ It’s the drunken episode that nobody asked for (and the episode that will probably get us kicked off Maximum Fun).

Starting point is 00:00:00 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,
Starting point is 00:00:35 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,
Starting point is 00:01:01 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
Starting point is 00:01:25 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
Starting point is 00:01:55 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 friendsofdecotoforlabor.com. That's friendsofdisotoforlabor.com. Link in the episode description. Okay, now let's get on with the show. Here's to the whimmy's crew Trek Podcast by two guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek Podcast, who are still drunk from the first podcast they recorded in the day.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Madam Pranaka. Oh man, you really slurred that, that was fun. I'm Ben Harrison. This is truly unshartered territory, Ben, because we finish every show with kind of a lottery system, a lottery system that tells us, if the next show we record is going to be a drunk episode, but the thing is, the problem with this rule, Ben, is that we typically record two a day.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah. And so if the first episode hits that lottery, you really get two for the price of one, don't you? Yeah, you get two for the price of one. And if this is the first time you've ever tuned in to the greatest generation, I think I speak for both of us when I say we're sorry. Oh boy. Well, one of the things I wanted to do for our, our mayor in open, Ben was 10 to this giant box that's been on my desk. We got mail at our mail stop and I kind of want to open it. Open that fucker up Can you hear the liquid?
Starting point is 00:03:59 It's clearly a box of liquid. Possibly liquidy Adam. Then what we have are two packages from Philip, E, from Henrico, Virginia. I'm going to start with a small one. The smaller of the two, this is in a padded envelope. Wait, so he sent two different boxes? He sent a box that is roughly one by one by one and then a padded envelope Wow And I'm opening the padded envelope now
Starting point is 00:04:34 I need a tool for this Add it. You don't have a Swiss Army knife in your pocket as I always do a hundred percent of the time a Hundred out of of 100 really yeah Always roll into the Swiss Army knife and I I am so committed to rolling with the Swiss Army knife that I have a Full-proof method for sneaking a Swiss Army knife past TSA that I have never gotten caught you keystring that knife in that I have never gotten caught. You keystering that knife, Ben? Up at the baton? No, just the baton make river?
Starting point is 00:05:08 I put it in my bag in a particular way, and you know, if they ask me a question about it, I will dig it out and give it to them. But they never have not even a single time. Ben. What? Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. I have the Bible now.
Starting point is 00:05:28 But we have received from Philip is the Star Trek DS9 Bible. Whoa! Not only do we have the Bible, but we have the Star Trek Deep Space 9 Companion, which is like a role-playing game book sized. But it is just really big. And it looks like it goes episode by episode. It's got- Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It's got behind the scenes pictures. It's got schematics. It's really something. Damn. Just the whole thing. Fucking hey. Fucking hey. What?
Starting point is 00:06:10 I never thought I'd have a Bible again in my possession and here we are. I tell you what I do with a million dollars man. Deep Space 9 podcast. Two podcasts in the same week. That's what I do. What's the other box got? I'm opening that box, Ben. Figured the type of podcast that would like a guy like me. Alright, we get a letter on tap in. Philip writes,
Starting point is 00:06:50 Thank you for unburdening me of these things. Strangely my wife didn't ask me where I was sending them, sorry to pass along the curse of packaging peanuts. Kind of like the curse in it follows, but with less sex and more death Looks like there's Romulan ails Penini stickers Hoot cards
Starting point is 00:07:14 collectible action marbles the Bible the companion That's what's in the box. Oh man. So we've got a We've got action marbles. Those are on top. These action marbles are actually pretty badass. Package of five. They're just not appear to be uh... What's the big marble?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Is that the slamer? It's the... When you're playing marbles? That's a... That's a Pog term slamer. Oh, I got that wrong, man. I've always thought of myself as being the big marble, so I guess you could call it the Ben? Yeah, the one single marble, that would be you.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Oh boy, we've got some cards in here. Now that you're settled Ben, some of this mail's got to go to you. Yeah, you and your wife recently came and visited me and my wife here in sunny Los Angeles and at one point we were all out and your wife confessed that you had gone through my giant Tupperware box of Star Trek paraphernalia that we've been gifted by our viewers. And we're like, yeah, I have one of the same. It's not weird for me to have that. There's no shame in that. Oh, so I mean like have the stuff in that box, I intend to put up on my wall. I just haven't put anything on the walls in my apartment yet.
Starting point is 00:08:43 You don't have to explain it to me? I don't explain it to you. I'm explaining it to your wife. It's gonna be half-through. So there is? By the time she sees it next. There's a fucking stack of penini stickers. What is penini stickers? One of the many stickers.
Starting point is 00:09:00 If a pack of stickers is phenomenologically equivalent to a pack of cards than there does exist a natural yager. In fact, it is the most natural of yaggers since he isn't even facing the fucking camera. And sure enough Ben, I've got a natural yager here. Whoa! There's a sticker that has Biffy-Ager in it. He is not facing the camera. He has back us to the camera completely.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Stack of these stickers, Ben. And I have, with John a can, of Romulan Ale. It's so wrapped in bubble wrap, I can't even describe it to you. Is it like, uh, like one one thing that we have that are infamous Christmas present episode and one one package that we didn't open on that episode that we got like a couple days after we recorded that was
Starting point is 00:10:01 you and I each got boxes from Plevim that were just full of crazy shit from his his job We had we had a really long text read about What the gift from plevim might have meant because and if it was a threat or not the biggest thing in it was a Because and if it was a threat or not the biggest thing in it was a Hasmat suit and then within within the box also was a smaller box that said nothing in here is toxic I promise there's nothing like that Philip has sent us Romulan ale energy drink It's 8.4 ounces of straight niacin. It's all the niacin, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 you could want in an energy drink. It looks like there are a number of
Starting point is 00:10:59 cans in here. One of them is for you. I promise. Maybe I'll put that blue vodka that Plavim sent me into that Romulan ale. There's another bottle of something that is a much larger format. You know, Romulan ale should be illegal. Anyone picking up a radiation surge bin? Only the size of my head. This is Woot Stout. Stone-farking Wheaton. It's a beer. It's a beer brewed with Whil Wheaton. Whil Wheaton and Drew Curtis and Greg Koch. It's a it's a micro brew from Stone Brewing. And we
Starting point is 00:11:51 look like we got a couple of these two. Ben if you've been drinking all day the way I have a stout beer not necessarily the, but this moment in the drinking. No. Oh, there's so many of these in the box, Ben. Thank you for sending us this box of fun things, I hope we really appreciate it. His letter closes with, thank you for everything you do to echo the sentiments of others before me.
Starting point is 00:12:21 There have been many weeks in which your show has been the thing I've most looked forward to Shout out to Justin the beautiful and sweet young man who swept my little brother mad off his feet I would call him my partner in trek shame. I don't think he's ashamed I would only ask him how he does that since you really fill up. Oh Thanks, dude a energy drink taste test is Ah Thanks, dude a energy drink taste test is forthcoming. I don't know if they do that right now You might as well you you're a lot of drinks in as far as I can tell so I think it might get me up over the hump
Starting point is 00:12:54 Yeah, you need you need to put a little nice in in that little system of yours. I'm gonna pour it into my now empty glass Oh boy, it is. Meanwhile, I'm still drinking tequila and tonic. I'm going through my entire half bottle of hornitos and I've moved on to my bottle of patron. I'm going to, Ben, I'm going to send you a picture, which may be the worst picture I've ever taken of this Romulan ale. It is almost impossibly blue.
Starting point is 00:13:32 It looks like Barbicide. What was the color of the vodka that Plavim sent you? Also Barbicide colored. Yeah. It would actually go perfectly in this Romulan ale. I'd say put some, I say, don't fuck around at him. Go get that plevine vodka and put it in that Romulan ale. Alright, kill some time for me, will ya?
Starting point is 00:13:54 Okay, our producer is making the stretch taffy, stretch taffy hand motion. Our imagined producer on this program because we don't have a producer. A funny thing happened when I went upstairs, my wife was preparing me a cocktail because she's the greatest. Oh yeah, your wife is... Your wife is really second to none, you know. She's one of my favorite people. She had no idea I had been drinking all afternoon for work. And so she's like, well, I guess I'm gonna put this in the fridge for you to enjoy later. Alright then, I'm gonna do a- did you get the picture I sent of this blue drink?
Starting point is 00:14:37 I got that. Okay, I'm gonna take a sip of it without the vodka. It's got a real frothy head on it, this blue drink. The head has gone down, it's in its refractory period. of it without the vodka. It's got a real frothy head on it. This blue drink. The head has gone down. It's in its refractory period. I also really appreciate that you have L.C.R.S. coasters for your office.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah, I got that. I got the L.C.R.S. coasters at the, uh, at the Mo Pop, the Museum of Pop culture here in Seattle. Fuck, dude! Yeah. Pretty dope. Fuck, dude! Yeah. Pretty dope. God! I want that!
Starting point is 00:15:08 Gotta get those coasters, bud. Ah. That's like the ideal, like, branded product is a coaster because it's like a piece of clear loose site with the L-car stuff on the back of it Which is exactly how they made the L-car's look in the show, you know? It's everything you need. It's like owning a piece of the Enterprise computer. This Romulan ale Is one of the better energy drink flavors I've ever had. It does most Assuredly not red bull flavored. It does not taste like smarties. Oh, man. It mostly just tastes like
Starting point is 00:15:49 It tastes like fruit punch. So to taste like did I ever tell you about the time that red bull almost ruined my life? I would love to hear that story, Ben. Lay it on me. Are we gonna have a Star Trek podcast at some point though? I want to see how long we can run this mirror and open. Let's do it. Well, I got hired to shoot a promo video for a technology company and the technology that they were developing was a system of costume and set-based triggers where a dancer on a stage could trigger lighting effects. So there would be like a square on the floor that they could stamp on or like a part of their costume that they could slap and the lighting would change. And the idea was that this would be great for live shows where
Starting point is 00:16:48 your singing, dancing type musician would be able to interact more in sync with their lighting. Something that you'd want to do for the drop, right? Right, exactly. This is exactly what this would be perfect for. And so I shot a series of promos or like, or like pitch videos for this. And where we shot this was the Red Bull Party space in Soho, New York. Red Bull has like a fancy loft department in Soho where they have like
Starting point is 00:17:26 secret concerts and shit. And we shot for like a week in this space. Do people fly improvised homemade planes off of the balcony into the crowd below? Is that a thing that they do here too? Yeah, yeah, the dozens of people have died at this end. But one of the things about like going to work every day at this space was that there was just coolers full of red bull that you are free to take as much of as you would like. And I was like, these costs like three or four dollars, I'll just fill my backpack up with them at the end of the day. And like a month later, I was like,
Starting point is 00:18:09 my relationship was falling apart. I wasn't, I was like deeply unhappy in so many ways. Like I was lashing out at life. And I was like, I was like looking for an explanation. I was like, you know, I've been through enough therapy that I was like trying to identify the variable that changed in my life that had triggered this series of events that were literally causing my, my back slip into a very dark place. And I realized that what had happened was that I had literally filled my fridge with red bowl and was drinking like two or three red bowls every day.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Two or three. It was really not aware of the power of the red bowl. And the second I cut him out, like everything went back to normal. Really? Yeah, it was really kind of a magical situation. Oh, dude. Yeah. It's quite a confession.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Well, Philip, you don't know what you did by sending all this Romulan branded Red Bull to us. Hahahaha. Hahahaha. Well, I think I might just keep the energy drink for myself, and sit with the beer with my good friend Ben Harrison. Yeah, I can't be trusted with that type of stuff. Wow. Well, I'm glad it turns out that you didn't need them wings. Ben, do the happy life.
Starting point is 00:19:47 I got him built in, buddy. I'm now taking a drink of the beverage with the blue vodka that Plavim sent us. It is a... That is a cocktail I remember from college. There's a... I only ever drink Red Bull and vodka at a casino. Yeah. It's when I...
Starting point is 00:20:18 That's... It has a different name there. It's called the Gamblers Delight. I don't know what you call it outside of Casino when it's blue like this. But it's gonna, I hope it gets me through the rest of this pod without getting a hangover, which I can feel descending upon me. Well, surrounded by, by, by peanuts character stinklines of, of hangover spirits. Whatever happens at Adam, please pass my apologies onto your wife.
Starting point is 00:20:51 She's the one who suffers the most for this show. Yeah, just as yours does, Ben. Yeah. Adam, do you want to get into the episode here at the 20 or so minute mark? If there was one wish I had for this episode, it would be the children with the world singing in peace and harmony. On today's episode we recap with our remaining time. Season 1, episode 15, if wishes, or horses.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Well, Adam, we start with a pretty familiar DS9 trope, which is Odo. Harassing quirk in the bar. Enough of a trope that Quark even comments on it. There hasn't been a ship in for three days and yet you sit there like a a binarium hawk looking for prey. A slow week is a great context for this episode Adam. It truly is. It's really the perfect episode to squeeze in the last 20 minutes of what's remaining
Starting point is 00:22:06 of our podcast today. Quark and Odo are actually talking a little bit of shop, because Odo is like, you sell Hollisweep programs to kids, I think that's pretty fucked up. Yeah, like, here I am, the law enforcement character, and I see that you have clientele in one Jake Cisco. What's up with that? Like the idea of future space pornography is has got to be a thing that is so incredible. We can't even imagine it at this point.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah, and and Jesus go for the record is giving Kirin Naree say run for her money in height of waistline. Jesus go taking a baseball bat to his hollow suite. Does nothing to dis abuse Odo of the idea that he might be going in there to do bad and adult things. But Quark is sort of like making the case of the same case that Vegas does in the 90s. Like he's sort of rebranding his adult entertainment possibilities into a more family friendly environment.
Starting point is 00:23:22 He's like, look, I don't want the the nickels of just the parents. I want the Latinum of the entire family. If I can get them in here into my Disney landification of Quirks Bar and the accompanying Hollisweets, like great, more customers the better. He's all about that fast quarter, fuck a slow nickel, that's jump change. He's all about that fast quarter fuck a slow nickel. That's jump change There's a great line in here where they're talking about what Jake likes to do like with the baseball and whatnot and Quirk describes Jake's baseball mitten Which is like the beef sandwich Philadelphia of sports references, right? It really is Yeah, deep bass now you really beat us to our own sense of humor, Adam.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Totally. I love it. Who cleans the, come out of the hollow suites? Who's cleaning that bat? What's that bat got on the end of it? I think you're probably just going to want to throw away the bat. Just replicate another bat, Jake. No, Jake, Jake, replicate a new back come on buddy come on come on
Starting point is 00:24:28 that bad thing go in straight for the incinerator meanwhile Bashir and Dax are on a pretty hot and heavy date in which like in a way that is preposterously self-confident, but she is saying how much taxes on his mind. I can't even concentrate. You seem to be concentrating just fine on the junior lieutenant at the reception for Captain Stadius. In some ways, I sort of admire that he's willing to just come out and say it. But on the other hand, Bashir is rebuffed constantly by DAX. DAX is not interested. Couldn't be any more clear. No means no, Julian. And yes means yes. I thought if one thing were clear by now, said you and I play things a little differently.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Do you think if you had sex with DAX, you could feel the thrill? I guess it sort of depends on if you're packing that mourn style crank. If you're packing the mourn hammer, then I think the anchlyo sore is the nail. Yeah, if you're all up in them guts, you're gonna feel the nail. This viewer, if you're still hanging on, well this is the episode that we don't blame you. We do not blame you for skipping,
Starting point is 00:26:09 like for hitting the forward 30 seconds, a million times past this episode. This is the episode that gets us kicked off of Max Fun. This is it. Yeah. Oh boy. Where, where's our, we ever did business with those gentlemen. Benjamin R. Harrison and Adam Prantica do not reflect the views of maximum fun LLC. The values or views that we...
Starting point is 00:26:52 But Dex, she's able to stick this out and really well and truly shut Julian down. She really blows any hope he might have of looking up with her out the airlock. Julian, you are a wonderful friend. Her strategy is great because it's one of shame, right? It's like, Bishir is copying to the idea that she's the only one for him. And Dax is like, oh yeah, like this girl that I saw you sweating and this other girl I saw you sweating big time. And Bishir has to sort of admit that he's a little bit of a whore.
Starting point is 00:27:30 You know? Like, like, like, like, there's no way Dax could appreciate how special she is to Bishir because to Bishir, he has a lot of female interests. She's the fucking type of shit he's on. She knows that he's a man that is all about sheer Shayla Femme and she's not about that type of shit. Dr. Bashir. You're sheer Shayla Femme.
Starting point is 00:28:03 He's insulting to the French people. In France, we have the Vichy government. They have many rules and regulations for what women you cannot relate with. She is not of your race. Therefore, live here alone. Your constant flirtation is a work crime. Who is paying for all of these actors, you know? Gold to cut, to cut, to cut, to cut, to cut. So we cut to the mechanics of an adult relationship to the mechanics of a broken one Which is the family life of chief O'Brien Kiko and their young daughter Kiko's back
Starting point is 00:29:01 Kiko's the type of version who goes all the way back to Earth to get her haircut. Because, uh, she's come back with a tight bob. Myles, none of the hair slons on the station know how to cut my hair! Uh, yeah, and I guess, like, O'Brien doesn't have unsupervised visitation with his daughter Because he's just trying to read her a good night's story and Kiko is like just all over his shit like Making sure he reads every word and does all the voices It's one of the few cases where the court has intervened within the context of a
Starting point is 00:29:43 established marriage that hasn't even broken up and stipulated that the man cannot see the children unsupervised. I should ask my father-in-law who is a family lawyer about what is going on in this marriage. That would be great. For more on this relationship, we take it to family lawyer expert, name redacted. Chifo Brian's doing all the voices. I get the vibe he's a great dad. He's a better dad than he is a husband. In that, he's actually interested in having a relationship with this daughter. Not for nothing, but like the, the writers of this show have
Starting point is 00:30:28 got to be really cheesed with what they've inherited from the TNG writers, W slash R slash T, the miles and Kiko relationship, because like the opening implications of this relationship worth it, like they were getting married and basically didn't even know anything about each other. And like this is a child born at face or point, right? Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Right. Right. They're, they're, they're getting into this now and it is like, it is the plausible extension of the relationship that was written for these two characters, but man, what a whole to dig yourself out of. And yet, like, it's the softest, loamiest whole to dig because there's no reason why they aren't tacking hard into an actual broken relationship that everyone can see. Like it would be far more interesting to me as the viewer if that were the truth of the
Starting point is 00:31:38 matter. Right. O'Brien's reading Rumpel's Stillskin to his daughter. He's doing all the voices. He's making the the Kraggy faces. She's loving it. It's great. He's observing the rules of his family lawyer. They tell her to go the fuck to sleep.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Miles and Kiko leave her to sleep. Miles and Kiko leave her fairly large quarters for a small child in the station. Like she's kind of got a condo inside a condo, it seems like. This is this is what is dope about getting to the station early. Yeah. Is like choice of quarters. Yeah, like the fucking property values are super low. The fucking property values are super low. And I'm sure that if you're a star fleet, you're getting a kind of like a stipend for obtaining housing, right? Like if you live within the proper federation,
Starting point is 00:32:37 you can live in whatever house the fuck you want, right? Because there's no money or anything. But if you're living on deep space nine, you've probably got to kind of like pay for things. So I bet there's stipend goes pretty far on deep space nine and not only that, it's a station with a capacity for thousands. And there's like 400 people living here right now. So Chief O'Brien, like one thing that he should be telling
Starting point is 00:33:02 Kiko is like, listen, we live in a fucking space mansion right now. It's true. Look at the sweet our daughter lives in. It looks like a way better quarters than Cisco gets. Yeah, and Cisco's sharing his quarters like a 14 year old boy who is totally girl crazy. He's saying what you will about the relationship between Keko and O'Brien, but at least their daughter isn't making
Starting point is 00:33:30 Rom-Nog everywhere. Any time he leaves the cabin. Lee. So they bail out of the bedroom, and like O'Brien makes a pass at his wife. Yeah, like a toy. Out of the frying pan into O'Brien makes a pass at his wife. Yeah, like a toy. A toy pass. Out of the frying pan into the fire type
Starting point is 00:33:49 of bailing out of the bedroom where it's like we're gonna go from one bedroom to another bedroom. Like how would you like me to play Rumpel Stiltskin all over that butt? Ha ha ha ha ha. And uh. And Kiko's like, miles! We only do it through a sheet! Outwonders, uh, outwonders their kid, who is almost impossibly tiny, Ben. Like, you would be hard pressed to find a child actor who could verbalize
Starting point is 00:34:25 who would be younger and tinier than this actor. Yeah. She's like, double. She's in my room. She's like, yeah, that, uh, that guy you're making voices for. He's actually in there. He's in my bed. And O'Brien's like, all right, whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Still skin interruptus. And O'Brien's like, alright, whatever. Stiltskin interrupt us. He goes in to check out the scene and sure as shit, the Rumpel Stiltskin himself appears. Don't look so distraught. I'm only here to offer you my services if you should need them. Bannif, I'm writing a sci-fi show in the Star Trek universe. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:10 This is a place with myriad alien cultures, giant space battles, interpersonal drama. We're going right back to the fairy tale, well, aren't we? We're going right back to the Robin Hoodification of Star Trek. Why are we doing this? Yeah man, I am not a Mary man. Me neither. At this point, it's a total grown, it's a grown job. I think the writers wanted this to be a super creepy reveal
Starting point is 00:35:40 and somehow in the directing it became a real slide whistle at him. I was reading the show notes for this one, and Kalamini almost walked. He was like, he was like, I'm not doing a fucking leprechaun episode, by the way, because I don't know if you've noticed, I'm Irish, and my people have fought for a long time against this fucking stereotype. And so, the writers turned a leprechaun into Rumpelstiltskin, which is basically a leprechaun with a different name. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:16 So it was originally a leprechaun. It was. Dang. I guess that was good enough to do the show. Here's the thing, like... The Rumpel Stiltskin character could be made dark, like in a leprechaun the movie type of way even. Like, but there's just nothing threatening about him. Yeah, this is just a guy that would like otherwise be a big star on Reddit.com slash r slash popping. One of the big big reasons for the quality of this episode is the splash
Starting point is 00:36:58 page of writing credits bin. This is always a bad sign when you get three script credits and two storybys. This is a screen filling number of creative credits here. And I think it's one of the reasons why this episode is really a mess. Writer salad is just, you know, it's got a very low batting average for good creative work. So what's going on here in fairly short order is that it's not just Rumpel Stiltskin that's becoming real. It's imaginary characters are becoming real. Like baseball stars that Jake inserts bats into. And his Hollisweep programs. and his Hollis Wheat programs. Yeah, and versions of Jed Zia Dax that Bashir inserts bats into. It's bats all the way down, Ben.
Starting point is 00:37:53 It's disgusting. Yeah, so there's like an over-sex dax, a baseball star that comes from the London Kings baseball club and Rumble Stiltskin have all manifested themselves and the the senior staff are like WTF mate like where did we get all of these crazy characters from Benjamin Chishko Major Kira the rest of the senior staff, I'm registering my complaint in an official manner to state that my real doll business is the foremost purveyor of fake characters turned real. If you want to fantasize about boning down with somebody or something, you come to Kevin
Starting point is 00:38:47 X Bridge. First and foremost. I've said a time and time again. My real dolls are Batproof. The Kevin X Bridge Bat Shield of Quality that you can depend on for durability Our, our bookbook I famously took two Louisville sluggers in one hole Around the office we called him Are you gonna say fuck bokeh?
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yeah! Oh Kevin! Oh Kevin, you've never made us laugh that hard ever! I'm crying! I got a lot of tequila in me at this point, Adam. This is the dumbest episode we've ever done. I found myself falling to sleep watching this episode. I watched it at 11 a.m. after getting a good night's sleep and like Unable to keep my eyes open. I was so bored. Well, that's that was before you knew of the existence of fuck bo-c-a-t Run what you doing now? Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh chasing llamas around. Fuck Bo-Kai is wandering around wanting to play catch with Jake. He's rotating his bat with that
Starting point is 00:40:53 wrist move. It's just so disturbing. Like the move if your Cisco is to have everyone confined to quarters, right? That way you keep your sick fuck fantasy in your condo. No, the move is send the station into the wormhole and set self-destruct in fucking a band-in ship. It is, get the fuck outta here. Because I would say that the character that gets it the worst is Bishir because his sex fantasy is on full display to the woman who is the object of it. It is like I feel like every guy in the world has had like a crazy
Starting point is 00:41:36 sexual imagination about somebody he knows and to have that just be on full display, like to have her know about that is so fucking embarrassing. It is, and what's so fucking irritating about this episode is that DAX Alpha, like does not, is that DAX Prime doesn't make him stew in that embarrassment. You should feel something here and you just don't like you don't even get the You don't even get the Stay puff marshmallow man Threat of like like that level of clear your mindness about the people's imaginations because everything is so benign It's fucking llamas in the promenade. I know like a fucking break If he if you're gonna make,
Starting point is 00:42:26 if you're gonna make Julia be sure. There should be 30 board cubes outside of the station. Like that should be the level of threat that the imagination conjures. Right, because Cicisco is so damaged by that. But like, but like if we're gonna just do the thing with Bashir having his sexual imagination put on display for everybody, which is a great idea from a storytelling point of view because
Starting point is 00:42:51 Bashir has been established to be a total creep-as-oid. Yeah. Like, it's such a buzzkill for it to be Dax who is so whizzing and jeated sex sex wise that she doesn't care about anything. Yeah. Like, like DAX who have established really wants that Mornhammer. Like the childish advances of a Julian Bashir mean nothing to her. And so she's just like, hey, like, don't worry about it. Like, it's totally cool that you want to bang me. But like, the version of me that you want to bang is totally submissive.
Starting point is 00:43:35 You should be ashamed of that. Yeah, that's a great point. Like, the version of DAX that Bashir is attracted to is the resistant one. So why would in his fantasy he have conjured up the submissive version? Like how much more creepy would it be if the Daxes were indistinguishable? Right. The Dax that he conjures is dumb. And the Dax that he conjures has a mourn hammer. has a morn hammer. Sorry, Jets here. I'm just really into pegging. It's just the Ankleosaur tail sticking out. I mean, there's a there's a number of vignettes here. We go around the station and see the consequences of this. It's the llamas. It's quark with a couple of car show girls
Starting point is 00:44:26 on his arm. Booth babes for quark. Quark is just like an incorrigible misogynist. Oh, fun for him. Okay. This seems like a historical amount of butt and under boob shown on a Star Trek series though. Yeah. You've seen. Yeah, there's definitely a dabbo girl that has like four full inches of under boob. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That we've seen a couple of times and that is just like holy mackerel.
Starting point is 00:45:00 That's a lot of under boob. It truly is. And I mean, I understand why it is the way it is, but if Bashir is having fantasies about DAX, wouldn't you imagine that she's dressed in a similar way? I feel like the edgy pie FCC would not let that much underboob fly. You'd have to pay an extra 30 bucks in AgiPies' future internet to access that amount of under-boom. One of the things about FuckBakai is that like, you look at baseball players now
Starting point is 00:45:42 and these are people with like bodies, these are the bodies of people who take their strength in conditioning seriously. They're like pro wrestler size sometimes. And yet fuck the guy has like, sort of like the dumpy belly of a pro-bola. It's amazing. Future baseball is gonna be awesome.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It may be wonder if like wonder if the versions of baseball players that Jake and Ben Sisko are conjuring in the Hollisweets are like made fat and slow so that they can play against them in a competitive manner. Our main fake characters are Rumpel Stiltskin, Fuckba-Kai and Dax Beta. Sexy Poo Dax. And all of them are allowed at Ops. Yeah. Also, they're just allowed to mill around on the station's bridge, which is like, Captain McCartan didn't allow anyone under 18 on his bridge. Let alone fucking Rumpel Stiltskin.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yeah, I guy with a black head so prominent that basically anybody in the room who's want to go relieve the pressure on that thing. Oh man, I really wanted to squeeze. I mean, talk about black alert. Almost done with this Romulan ale band. I'll have you know the Nias and flush is in full bloom. Well, and we've been recording for an episode and a half here or an episode and three quarters really. And I really need to take a pee. What about you? Yeah, I could do could do that. Alright, let's do a little theme music interstitial and go drain the main vein. What do you say? Alright, I'm gonna hit pause.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Sort of, uh, the sidecar to the appearances of these fake people is that there is a subspace rift happening been out in space and it's a real threat to the station, right? What does that mean? Whatever falls in there is just gone. They've been talking about kind of like ecological impact on the denorious belt, which is, you know, for those folks just tuning in where Deep Space 9 is located, of all of the warp signatures and Starship traffic that the station being there has engendered. Like normally, spaceships have avoided this part of space. Now, spaceships are all up in it.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And so, they've been trying to scan and get a sense of what the impact has been. Like, deep space nine has the benefit of being grandfathered into the existing building code. So you don't have to do like a soils report if you want to do some modifications on Deep Space 9. Now, when your old warehouse is grandfathered into your district's building code, you don't have to install other fire extinguishes that you ordinarily would need to in a brand new build.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I like to remove all fire extinguishes from the premises. This staircase in a new building would be considered a death trap, but in this building is considered a delightful, charming piece of culture and history. This building is located in close proximity to the Motown Records Hall of Fame. It's where I like to go to embarrass myself in front of my new neighbors. So the rift is the Stavepuffed Marshmallow Man. What did you do Ray? Oh shit! Everything that is going on is the physical manifestation of a thing that is being imagined by one of the characters. Like, there's fucking a snowstorm on the promenade and e-moo's running around.
Starting point is 00:50:05 But like every character that has a name and lines has a very specific idea that is being manifested in real life. It's like the Michael Crite novel sphere that was developed into the terrible movie sphere. So you're saying the spacecraft crash in the year? 17 or nine. So you're saying the spacecraft crash in the year? 17 or 9. So you're saying the spacecraft crash 300 years ago?
Starting point is 00:50:28 The titular sphere. Yeah. They're able to manifest their imaginations. And... Unfortunately, one of the eight writers of this episode didn't have the wherewithal to resist dumping the secret into the episode 20 minutes before the end as we get we get kind of a McLaughlin group of fuckbacchi
Starting point is 00:50:53 Daxbeta and Rumpel Stoltskin where they're like boy, I don't know if they're getting it What if they don't get what we're trying to do here? Like that little interstitial is so unnecessary and totally deflates whatever level of crisis we're reaching in the show. Yeah. I mean, if you're gonna make every other character be a figment of somebody's imagination, you don't wanna put the figments in cahoots with each other.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Right. Just like a general writing rule. Especially because of what we get in the dynumir at the end. Did I say that right? Your French pronunciation is always really remarkable. I'm setting. It's one of my worst impressions. I'm sure our friend, Manu Sadia, whose name I am sure I'm mispronouncing, would make a lot of fun of you.
Starting point is 00:51:54 I'm sure. So this rift is dropping bangers on the station ban and it's becoming life threatening. It's becoming life threatening and like everybody's kind of dealing it with it in different ways. It is shaking the station to its core, but like, Quark is obsessed with finding that the babes that he lost track of, O'Brien is obsessed with figuring out how to like get rid of of Rumble Stiltskin who keeps offering to lend a hand in the station defense operation at the cost of Miles' wife and daughter. But he really resists. Surprisingly, Miles is not willing to give up Kiko.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I've always wanted a daughter. Miles? You don't see the inner tension, but you know he's got to be considering that offer. Yeah, like he should turn to camera and then just like, you know, cross fate to all of the fights he's had on camera with Keko, right? It's a clean slate. It's a real chance for him. He really believes in this marriage, Adam.
Starting point is 00:53:11 No one else does. The ultimate climax is when Cisco's like everybody, like this fucking rift that's gonna blow up the system. All of these characters, they're all the same thing, man. It's all things that we imagined and made true in imagining them. So just believe that they are not true, man. Haven't you all seen Ghostbusters? It's like that.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Don't be Ray. And so like, there's a fun like around the horn where like everybody is like picking up on it at their own pace like oh we have to like We have to act like there's not magnetic waves rocking the station and Believe it intrinsically and then there won't be magnetic rays rocking the station. Oh, Brian's got to pretend that Kiko and his daughter aren't in the same room with him. And so they go. And so the station is saved. The crisis is averted.
Starting point is 00:54:20 And this goes like, all right, guys, well, that was unsatisfying because we don't know why that happened. So I'll be in my office. I'll be hanging out. Anyways, good job team. You have to dissatisfaction is where I will be. Yeah. Which I think is a new set for the show at this point, right? This this angle on the ready room.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, it's new to me. I feel like Cisco's office is so much bigger than Picards, but they haven't really explored the space. Yeah So Cisco's it's down. He's like probably gonna like, you know, throw a baseball against the wall and a butt plug lands in his hands and he turns and there's fuckbook eye. Fuckbook eye and his dumpy baseball uniform. Yeah, but but too like book eyes credit as a guy wearing a dumpy baseball uniform. The collar on that undershirt is tight. He does not have the Michael Jordan bacon effect happening. Fuck, because I can guess why 30 people came to the last world series ever, because all
Starting point is 00:55:35 the players look like me. Not exactly an exhibition of humanity's finest in physicality. Yeah. And he's like, you guys, like, imagination. That's like, we have never, we're aliens and we travel around and we've never heard of imagination. It's amazing to us. Like, it's like you believe it, but you don't believe it. And he's like, what? And he's like, yeah, yeah, the premise of this episode kept Commander Cisco is that we've been acting out the things you've been imagining and that's our way of exploring the universe. And Cisco's like, how, how, like, why does that work? How? Like, how do you add that all up? And he's like, well, man, like, that's just how we roll.
Starting point is 00:56:31 But Kevin, you've seen the TNG episode imaginary friend. I've got an on DVD here. It's right below the Bajorin Visitors Bureau DVD that you have. It's one of the worst episodes. Give me 56 minutes, I'm going to show this to you. And then we can talk about it afterwards. You have to drink every time the name Clara gets it. Ben, if you have the chance to make imaginary friend again on DS9, you gotta do it, right?
Starting point is 00:57:08 Creatively. That's an itchy-up to scratch. There was a real amazing scene in this episode where Bashir is like really strongly resisting imagined DAX's sexual advances. He goes so far as to scan her with a tricorder to figure out why she wants to fuck him. Yeah. It me. It's just like an amazing amount of introspection from a creepy-ass character, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:40 I mean, I wouldn't have expected that level of resistance from him. Like Bashir does not, like Bashir has presented himself as a character to be all about just getting into that push, like at all costs, right? I think what we know from this episode is that maybe he's in it for the chase. He's, yeah, he's in, he likes the chase, but then once the chase is over, he wants that consent, man.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Yeah. He doesn't wanna fuck somebody that doesn't wanna fuck. Yeah, he wants consensual mornhammer. If that brewery doesn't make a beer with that is the name. I'm sick and tired of being on the outside of these decisions, Adam. Concentrally, a more name needs to be everything from now on. Did you like this episode, Ben? No! I like talking to you about it. Yeah, I mean, I hated the episode. This may go down as one of the best episodes of Greatest Gen or the worst episode of Greatest Gen.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I think that's something that we could never decide on its behalf. We may never know. I might die of alcohol poisoning tonight. I know I won't die of alcohol poisoning because I've been filled with 45% niacin. I went and took a pee earlier in the evening and I came out of the bathroom and was like, well, I guess I guess I'm done with my tequila, so I'll pour myself a glass of wine, and then I came back and found myself a full glass of tequila that was poured and waiting for me.
Starting point is 00:59:53 So I have to finish a glass of tequila and then a glass of wine before my evening even winds down. I don't know who's got the worst end of this, quite honestly. Yeah. Hmm, I'm full hiccup drug. Oh man. Do we have any priority one message has been?
Starting point is 01:00:13 I think we do, Ed. Priority one message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel. Need a supplement on it. A supplement on it? A supplement. A supplement. Yeah need a supplement only. supplement only? supplement. supplement. Yeah, it's extra. But the interest alone could be enough to buy this ship.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Then we have a priority one message of a commercial nature. What? Oooo! The purchaser of which could never know the condition the Ho-Sirin for its reading. This is a caveat impetor type situation you know. Let's try to give him his money's worth. This is a commercial message from Brad Abraham's. See if I can get through this message. Could there be a man alive that has had more intergalactic sexual intercourse than a William T. Riker? Yes, yes there is.
Starting point is 01:01:10 David Huggins is a 74 year old man in Hoboken, New Jersey that claims to have lost his virginity to an extra terrestrial woman among a hundred other encounters and chronicicle did all in his surreal paintings The documentary what is even happening right now at him the documentary love and saucers is his story If you like aliens art and interspecies romance as I'm sure all good greatest gen fans do check the film out What dream it now, Ben, at lovinzossars.com.

And I strongly encourage everyone to watch it. I think, you know, sometimes you have to decide what to watch with your special person on a On a night after work. I think I'm gonna propose love and saucers night. Yeah, we're gonna see how that goes

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.
Starting point is 01:07:01 We've got to get on the art. It is about terrain, about us about to destroy humanity. Hey, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Are you Noah? Yeah, I know we look like humans. We're actually, we're podcasters. Yes, probably. We are podcasters, so it's different.
Starting point is 01:07:14 Have you heard of Ono Ross and Carrie? 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 boats. We came two by two. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:07:26 Ona Ross & Kerry, available on MaximumFun.org. Hey Adam. What's that, Ben? Did you find yourself a drunk Shimoda? Did the drunk Shimoda? Did the drunk Shimoda? of a drunk Shemoda. Of course I did. Ben, it's Major Kira. I feel like she's going to Shemoda for me in a while. She has, she has basically the line that sums up the entire episode to me. Banger's
Starting point is 01:07:59 being dropped all around. She's having to hold onto her console. She's reading space oscillations bin and she basically turns to camera and says what the hell does that mean? In like a moment of acting that you you see Nana visitor through the character she's right there. Yeah. Can't tell if it's the character of the actor, but either way, what the hell does this even mean? She's my drunk Shimoda. What about you, Ben? Man, we have a double Shimoda this episode of it. When Commander Cisco like works out what's going on. He's doing the kind of round robin of each character checking in from their station at Ops and everybody really picks up on what he's putting down, which is stop believing the thing we believe and believe
Starting point is 01:08:56 the thing he's telling us to believe. And boy, Kira is not ready for that. She takes two and a half beats of story for every half beat that everybody all takes because she's Gira, you know? Like she believes what she believes. She is so self confident. And yeah, I really fucking loved her her performance in that in that like final moment she's like like no fuck you I'm telling you I'm telling you what I see on the screen not what you
Starting point is 01:09:36 want me to believe I see on the screen. I wonder if there's a range to the imagination being depicted here. Like, could Kira's conjuring be like mullabock is down on on Beijor like drowning in pizzas. Like could she be going on like back on earth that O'Brien is like O'Brien has destroyed his mother-in-law's home that he just spent four weeks in. Yeah, he's just, he's just. What's the weight on this? Yeah, O'Brien just pictures knife holes in the air mattress and his mother-in-law's house. Like, just a few tactical cut-tos
Starting point is 01:10:21 would be a lot of fun in this episode. Yeah, indeed. Ben, what do we have coming up on the next one? The next episode of Adam is season one episode 16, D4 Saken. Well, an alien entity wreaks havoc on the station's computer. The irrepressible Waxana Troy sets her sights for romance with Odo. You mean we've got a wax on an episode on Deep Space 9 and she's looking for romance. She's just trying to bang down with Odo.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Odo is going to fill her up. Do you think Otis got to put a bucket on her head? Man like Otis capacity as a coxman is really unparalleled because he can really fill every crack in crevice, right? He's a galaxy-class stickman. The likes of which I'm not sure Luxada has ever known. And I'm picturing you Mario just punching fists through the blocks of brick on the name of this episode. and you have just shattered everyone, every block that has presented itself, it's really remarkable.
Starting point is 01:11:53 I'm the fiery Mario of episode titles on this episode. Well Adam, do you want to find out if we're going to be doing the same bullshit we've been doing for this episode on the next episode. Yeah, let's see. Let's see, this one went so well. Tula! Did I win? Oh, we got a seven at him, so that means we are not drinking for the next episode. We're gonna be doing it stone cold sober. Wow, Well, hopefully people have not gotten used to us in this way. To the degree that that would be a disappointment for them.
Starting point is 01:12:36 I don't know if this show is sustainable if we were to do this like this every time. No, we would die. Phil would have to send me a lot more Romulan ale energy drink. That's for sure. Yeah, we can't rely on our listeners to be that generous. So we will have to rely on them to go to maximumfund.org slash donate if they like the show and they want to support it financially. And maxfundstore.com if they want to buy swag from the show get them t-shirts and pint glasses and what have you. Yeah, I mean not for nothing supporting the show gets you a couple of bonus episodes
Starting point is 01:13:15 at this point. You get your crimson tide episode which was a almost 90 minute podcast thrill ride from me and you and you also got your Gremlins holiday episode If you're feeling Still a little bit of the holiday spirit And our start and our Star Trek Generations episode which we recorded live I think in San Francisco. It's all the donor feed. You got some some great extras there So those are our thank yous for supporting the show.
Starting point is 01:13:46 We really appreciate it. Indeed. Adam, people that want to talk to us online, go on Twitter, and they use the hashtag greatestgen, and they tweet at you at Cut for Time and me at Benjamin R-A-H-R. R is my, you know, kind of my middle name. You named it, boom?
Starting point is 01:14:10 My name to prove. My dear, my. And they also go on the Facebook group. Grace Jen Facebook group is a real fun hang. It's basically the only safe place on the internet anymore. And the only safe place on Reddit is the Grace Jen subreddit. Well, there's actually two safe places on Reddit. There's Grace Jen subreddit and the maximum fun subreddit.
Starting point is 01:14:39 And also our poppers. Yeah, nothing safer than our our slash popping. It's the only way I can get off these days. Um, I was to thank Dark Materia for our theme music and Adam Ragusia, who is, is responsible for all of the original music you hear on the program. If you're upset with us about the quality of this episode, I would also say that that's Adam Rguci's fault. Yeah. I'm laying that at his feet.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Yeah. You can email him or just tweet out of him. I'd strongly encourage you to do that. All of our letters go to the goose. Yeah. All of our letters go to the goose.
