Priority 1 message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel. Hey friends of Disodo. Before today's episode, we just wanted to take a moment to talk about the historic labor actions being taken by writers and actors in the American Film and Television industry. If you're a fan of the work done by the people who make Star Trek, we hope you'll join us in standing in solidarity with the folks who actually bring these adventures to life. Over the past several years, the AMPTP, the organization that represents the American Film and Television Production Studios, have reduced the profit from movies and TV going to workers. And in so doing,

they've attempted to weaken the labor unions that represent those workers. They wouldn't even engage the unions on many issues in their negotiations. And so a strike was the only course of action to take. Adam, Wendy and I have been having a lot of internal discussions about how best to stand with the unions and we are continuing those conversations in a dynamic situation. We're doing our best to understand where the picket lines are in these digital spaces,

and we would never intentionally cross one. With the information we have, we feel like we can do more good talking about and supporting the strike and continuing our show as planned. We'll keep you informed about what all this means for greatest trek specifically. Today we're making a contribution to the Entertainment Community Fund. This fund exists to help all the people whose livelihoods have been put on hold because the AMPTP refuses to negotiate

in good faith with the unions. It provides financial support for writers, actors, and all the thousands of laborers who make the shows that we talk about here and without whom we wouldn't have Star Trek to cast pot about. Those folks are all out of work because billionaires, company shareholders, and the executives of these companies don't want to compromise on the length of their yachts. We hope you'll join us in supporting entertainment workers in a challenging time, especially after they've already endured several years of challenges brought on by the pandemic

and season two of Star Trek Picard. We've set up a page where you can also contribute. It's at friendsofdecotoforlabor.com. That's friendsofdececoto for Labor.com. That's FriendsOfDecoto for Labor.com. Link in the episode description. Okay, now let's get on with the show. Here's to the finest-based deep space nine. Welcome to the greatest generation deep space nine. It's a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys

who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. I'm Ben Harrison. I'm Adam Pryanaka. How you doing today, Adam? It's 420 today Ben. So yeah, so that's how I'm doing. Hmm. Are you are you blazing brother?

Well, I'm doing a lot of things today. Crackin' broodogs. Gotta do it. Is that that a spotted cow or whatever? It is. I'm cracking open a spotted cow and pouring it into my maximum fun rocket logo, frosty mug.

Wow. How do you wind up with all these spotted cows? Because we got some on a tour staff at one point. I've never gotten to try it. It all went home with you. Is that what happened? That's exactly what happened. It all went home with you. Is that what happened? That's exactly what happened. It all went home with me. And then occasionally, I will have a friend or a family member send me a half rack. Wow. And that's how I have a rolling,

very low supply of it as the months go on. Like I always seem to have around six. That's great. It's so cool that you've never shared any of that with me. Even though some of it was technically for me. I know. Yeah. I've hoarded it. The hoarding isn't good. You hate to see it. It stresses the supply chain. That's the problem with it. I know. And if I ever see you again in person, I'll bring some over. How's that? Okay. That or the problem with it. I know. And if I ever see you again in person, I'll bring some over. How's that? Okay. That or I kick your butt. Yeah. Yeah. Which is more likely. You giving me free beer?

Thanks. So, man, a 420 episode, who, who to thunk it? My father's birthday is 420. That's great. That's what we're celebrating, right? Yeah, that's what I'm celebrating Happy birthday Ben's dad I'm just having myself a little a little Friday afternoon rum beverage. Yeah, I'm looking at you during we're continuing to do the Skype thing Yeah, what do you got in that glass? It's maybe a mistake. This is a Yeah. What do you got in that glass? It's maybe a mistake. This is a mango passion fruit, daiquiri, I guess, would be the best description.

Is that one of those bag curries that you mentioned before, made in a ziplock bag? Ziplock bag in the freezer overnight. Everything but the mango. I blended it with some frozen mango when it came out. You've told me about that cocktail a bunch and yet the many occasions that I've recorded at your home have never offered me one. So that's cool too. Well, you know, I have a deli where both good at hoarding. It takes a lot of forethought to make this drink because you have to make it the night before. And you know, when I'm thinking about you coming over to the house and more thinking about how I protect my valuables, then how I provide you

things to drink. Yeah. Yeah. I'm always walking off with something. Yeah. We always count the silverware when you leave. Yeah. And I have a growing collection of butter knives. When you cracked that can right after saying the thing about 420, I thought for sure you're going to be cracking a can of some kind of marijuana soda. Boy, that sounds great, by the way, but also terrifying. I've never had a good experience with a soda weed. Really? Yeah.

What about those ones I was making at that party, that one time? Those were soda weed? Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, I remember those. Yeah, but that was made by, it feels like that was a different thing. Like the dosage was, was far less

for the beer company weed drink that we had on that trip. Yeah, I was making, I was making like a redler with it so that it wouldn't be as much as high of a dosage. I mean, you get a guy like John Gabris drinking a soda weed beverage with like 400 milligrams of G8c in it. I don't know how he does it. That seems like it would be lethal. Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine that. On a recent bonus episode of Friendly Fire. The hit podcast? Yeah, the hit podcast, Friendly Fire.

Recent bonus episode, I'd lead toast myself. I wouldn't say it was totally an accident, but I had some THC candies on my desk and I had one mid podcast, which I was guessing I was not going to feel the effects of until well after the end of the podcast, but maybe it was just the adrenaline kicking my system into high gear, but I was. You got a little paranoid?

Really feeling it by the end. Really? A paranoid just like, wow, I am. I'm not myself right now. You know, a lesser friend would say something like I couldn't tell the difference and turn that into an insult, but I'm saying that, and by saying that,

I'm complimenting you. Like I could not tell the difference, and I think it's because you just shook it off so ably. I hold it together. I know how to maintain. I don't do that. I follow part. Yeah. I will say that I, given the stresses that everyone is going through, have been, like, self-medicating maybe a bit more than I'm proud of lately. Yeah. Yeah. That's something that I've yet to do or really lean into.

I think part of it is the scarcity of materials. Ben, where do I get the materials if I run out? God damn it. But also, uh, I want to keep my wit. I feel a strange sense of paranoia that like I want to be ready for something unforeseen. If this does does turn out to be a fast zombie that like I want to be ready for something unforeseen. If this does turn out to be a fast zombie scenario, you want to be able to run. That's what I'm saying.

That's an ugly thought. But I'm haunted by ugly thoughts these days. Yeah. I don't want to be. Maybe that means I should be getting into the jazz gums a little more liberally And you know what we should do what should we should commit to do is Playing a little more jazz horse For our health

Okay boys You're as handy with the shoot nine as you are with a woman's home I'm beginning to see the appeal of this program. I suggest you find a new line of work. It's okay, girl, just a scratch. For our health, that's how we should be self-medicating. Chillin' out with some jazz horse. Let's make a jazz horse date for either tonight

or this weekend. Let's do that. That's so nice. The last time we did that was like six months ago. I know. And it was very badly stymied by the fact that I thought that I could just use my iPhone headphones to talk to you guys through my controller.

Yeah. And they did not work. So I went back. I went and bought a fancy set of video game headphones, which is like the most extravagant, useless thing I've ever bought. Because we never, we never did another jazz horse hang. We, we, we, we our heads ended ourselves again. We did that thing where we thought we had a good idea that took a little money.

We tried it a couple of times and it failed and then we never used ourselves again. We did that thing where we thought we had a good idea that took a little money. We tried it a couple of times and it failed and then we never used it again. Look, we're gonna dust off the headphones, Ben, and we're gonna make it right. And it's gonna be for our health. We should dust off the VR sets too. Yeah. Can you do jazz horse over VR?

I think we should do that Star Trek game over VR. All right. And broadcast it. You know what, the world to see. That doesn't sound very therapeutic to me. We should try that Star Trek game over VR. All right. And broadcast it. You know what that- The world to see. That doesn't sound very therapeutic to me. We should try it again. That's what I'm saying. All right.

All right, fine. Yeah, everyone's doing Twitch streams these days. Yeah, Twitch is going crazy right now. Why not us? Twitch. Podcasting is down industry wide and Twitch is up. Yeah, it's time to buy high on twitch Yeah, we got to get out of this sinking ship

Yeah, this has been a terrible mistake On paper will today's episode be a terrible mistake I don't know I don't know if I were to pitch you the idea of this story if you'd want to buy it then, but let's talk over what actually happened. The episode we actually get is, do you space 9, season 6, episode 10? The magnificent for Rengie. Do you realize how incredible this is? No, of course you don't. Looks like Lita is picking up bartending shifts at Quarks now.

That's gotta be a big upgrade from just working the Dabo tables, right? Yeah, I've got to believe that I think, you know, you spend any time in a bar versus at a table playing a casino game. I think you know which tips are bigger. Dabo girls aren't croopies, are they? They're not like running the games. Or are they? I feel like both in the last episode we got a glimpse of the Dabo table and a little bit in this episode, it doesn't look like we get Dabo girls anymore. What happened?

Maybe quirk stopped being such a misogynistic asshole. Hey, good for him. Yeah. He's getting better. He put lead up behind the bar. That's good. That's got to be promotion, right? That's got to be you don't see your poor and drinks though. I wonder I wonder how her drinks are Hmm, she seems to be a dedicated person like I bet you would take it really seriously and do a good job Yeah, I miss going to bars some great news in this scene Adam Squill is back on the menu, boys. Yeah. I mean, speaking of missing things, everyone has been eating unadorned pancakes.

Yeah. For months and months, just dry-ass pancakes. Every supermarket you go into, you go down to the sauce of Squill Isle and it's just empty shelves. A limit of two only when they even have the stock. Yeah, it sucks. You try and order it on Amazon, they're back ordered. No sauce of squill anywhere. Now, this turns out to have been some scheme by the consortium on the planet that grows squill. You're saying there was a squill squim? Yeah, they had a squill squim.

They were trying to squapress the squaply of squill. Squill squim was my least favorite character in Transformers. Okay, let's just quit this stupid podcast now. I'm like almost done with this fucking giant drink I made for myself. I'm cross fading and firing on all cylinders. Wow. And unlike you on the Hitch podcast, friendly fire, people can tell. Quark has secured a couple of crates of squill, sauce of squill because he had some, he's trying to tell some story about this.

I once did business with the nephew of the cousin of the step sister of a friend of the secretary to the consortium's chief accountant. But nobody really cares about this story, right? I mean, it's sad because Quark is sincerely feeling great about this story. This isn't, like, I feel like you can tell when someone has like gathered the people around in order to tell a story that makes them look great.

There's the darkness that is about ego inflation. But I feel like Quark is just really excited about holding court and telling a story that he thinks is good. I don't think this is about making himself look heroic, even though the dialogue that everyone else has serves that idea. He really seems hurt when people turn away and see the Starfleet's walk-in. Like the meanest prank we could possibly pull on Roderick would be at like a max-fun con type of thing where he is given to planting himself somewhere and holding forth like this,

like just a range with 20 people to go gather around and start listening to some story. He starts to tell and then just everyone walk away immediately. That would be really hurtful. Why would you want to do that to him? I'm just, I'm saying that would be a mean prank. That's the premise of the thing I just said. You're just coming up with pranks against third host of Friendly Fire, the hit war movie podcast, John Roderick?

That guy could come down a peg or two, in my opinion. Hahaha. Couple of pegs, if he asked me. Couple of pegs, yeah. Hahaha. It's a prank. Oh no! Hahaha.

Oh! Hahaha. Ben pranked me. Hahaha. Hahaha. Ben pranked me. Dex, Bashir and O'Brien walk into the bar. They've just come off of some secret mission behind enemy lines in Cardassian space. Dex has got a couple of those batteries held up to her chest, you know. Yeah.

You know it was successful. Bashir and O'Brien each one, each have one down by their dick. Yeah It's it's it's gotten great for them. They you know, you don't just throw something like that away conquering heroes That's the vibe. Yeah, so they come in and and people are much more interested in what went on with them So they draw all of the all of the fun away from Quark, who Roderick is crestfallen. Quark, for the moment, can't understand why people are so interested in the Starfleet's story of their adventures instead of his own. And Odo is there to explain that heroism can mean different things to different people.

It's true. Not everyone keeps their heroism in mean different things to different people. It's true. Not everyone keeps their heroism in the same place. Yeah, Quark keeps it in his knees, for example. Uh-huh. But he gets a call blown into him by the Negus, and we elliptically cut to a scene where Quark has found Rom doing Rom work instead of, like, on some conduit somewhere. ROM found like the honey stick mother load in this conduit. I love gold.

Yeah. There are a lot of them in there. I would have loved to just like end this scene with Quirk like reaching out and just like pocketing one of those. It seems like if you're making Jeffries tubes in a workplace full of honey sticks, you wouldn't want to waffle ize them in a way that like many of the of the paneling is made that's gonna be impossible to clean up.

Yeah, if you drop one, it's just gonna go down into the cracks. That's bad news. You gotta replace the whole plate. Yeah. Fucking mess. You gotta replace the waffle. And it's entirety. replace the whole plate. Yeah. Fucking mess.

I've replaced the waffle. It's in its entirety. You definitely don't want to spill sauce of squeal on that kind of plating. Sure, don't. The sauce of squeal, like you want the dark stuff, right? You want that grade. Great beef sauce of squeal.

A lot of people think it's worse sauce of squeal, but it's actually more flavorful. The letters actually mean the episode of what you would think. Yeah, yeah. Great days, just sweeter. Great B. A little bit richer flavor. You know, my wife and I recently ran out of our preferred pancake mix that you can only get in Seattle. It's great. It's like, It's very popular to Seattleites.

And we ended up mail ordering it. And you can only get it in quantities of like four boxes. So we ordered basically $45 of pancake picks in these four giant boxes that we have in our pantry now, but it was the only way to get it. Wow, that is a profound, self-hone. The idea of spending $45 on a mixture of flour and baking soda. I knew that would be the angle that you took with it, but we were feeling homesick and that stuff is as unique properties.

You can't just make it. Oh yeah, I'm sure you can't. There's something secret in there. It's impossible to reproduce the pancakes that only this mix can make. You know what, man? One of these days, in a year or two, when we're allowed to see each other, I'll make you these pancakes, and I'll make you a believer.

What, you don't like pancakes? I bet you don't. I like pancakes. Man of unpopular food opinions. I made some pancakes last weekend. Yeah, did you put squill on them? Nah, I put the great B-Maple syrup on them. Gotta do that.

They were good. The B's the good stuff. Yeah. I was a little bummed because I was out of frozen blueberries and I like to put some frozen blueberries in the pancake. Like that a lap but you don't put it in the mix. Ben you put it in the cake in the pan. Yeah, you drop them onto the cake in the pan.

That's what you do. So they don't blew up your pancake. Yeah, no one wants to, no one wants to blew their pancakes before they're ready. Go to Kotlin. The deal here is the Negus has blown this call into Quark because Quark's mommy has been abducted by the Dominion. Quark is in charge of getting her back. Apparently the Frankci have no military

now for reasons. I mean, this is the moment you must suspend you disbelief, right? Because the negis is the head of state like the president of Ferenganar is telling a bartender that he must go rescue his lady friend. Yeah. She got abducted by them at some point when she went to Vulcan to have some plastic surgery done, which I thought was pretty surprising, the idea that the best plastic surgeons in the quadrant would be on Vulcan. Oh, that is interesting.

Vulcan's not known for their vanity. I mean, they're not, but they are all really like tight, you know. Oh, yeah, they're super fuckable. Yeah. So maybe maybe that's like the one vice that Vulcan's have is that they're They're very like appearance oriented. Just want to grab those bangs and take a face ride Just get a very precise blowjob. Yeah, you just want to fuck Saric. So bad. Why don't you suck this? That is my dick. Fucking Saric. Eat it. You fucking Terry cloth Batman motherfucker

You know what aspect to the story is never brought up. I mean among the hundreds. Let's be honest Is that the price that the negas put on Mugi's head is only 50 bars? Yeah, she should be insulted by this, right? I just never know what any of this is worth to anyone. Yeah. You know? I think anyone would be insulted by any number. Right.

Yeah, that's the issue. It's like what you want if your Mugi is for a fleet of those horseshoe ships from TMG to raid Dominion Space and get you back. Yeah, but instead it is the B squad led by Quar. It's like the C squad. Quarck tries to recruit Ram for this mission and Ram's like, I got a job. It's right here tending to these honey sticks. Yeah. And this honey comb. He has to break a lot of news to to Ram here.

Ram breaks yourself out of that news. Because Ram didn't know that Mugi and Negus Sack were in love. No. That it's been going on for years. No. He didn't know that his mom was secretly running the frangial Lions. No. All of this, all of this is coming as news to him. The fact that she's been abducted news most of all, they get distracted enough by this conversation that as they are crawling through the Jeffries tubes, they open the wrong door and stick their heads out into Cisco's office. May I help you, gentlemen? I love this scene.

That was great. It's very little rascal, Z. Yeah. I am a total sucker for any time a character looks through a window or two or more characters stick their heads out from beyond a corner in anything. That's tons of fun. When Larry and JB smooth do it in the coffee beans episode of this most recent season of Kirby enthusiasm, I had to pause the episode I laughed so hard. I really appreciate the season of Kirby Enthusiasm. Yeah, it was fucking great. Then I want to go back and pick up

something before we move too far away. When quark, when quark bullet points, all of this information for ROM, did you notice that his nose are in the first three notes of also Sprach Zarathustra. No, no, no. So they gotta do this. Ram is in a thousand percent. They gotta put a team together. But he's in it for the money. Like that's I think is crucial, right? He's not doing it because it's Moogie.

It's the it's the it's the Latin America. Yeah. He's going to get half half share of the 50 bars minus Quirks finders fee. And then they're going to recruit the rest of the team based on the idea that the total fee is 20 bars minus Quarx Finder's fee. So the first member that they recruit is Ensign Nog. Another person with a job. Yeah. And with like an attachment to a military that is currently attempting to de-escalate hostilities with the dominion.

So surprising that he's able to get leave to go do this, given that, right? This is like the, God, it's such fucking minutia to even say this, but I wish I knew how leave worked for Starfleet officers. Yeah, it is minutiae item, but it's also kind of the premise of our podcast. Yeah, yeah. I wish I knew too. It's still like the, the,

the Latinum is the tempting element of this thing. It's not whether or not he has time off. Right. It's both the Latinum and the power because the thing that really gets him hooked is that he'd be the mission equivalent of war for the mission. You could be the team's drill instructor. Right. And that's so tasty. Yeah, this is got it. It's this is sort of the opposite, right? It's first you get the power, then you get the Latin. But the crew isn't

complete. They can't do this with three people. We need to, in this episode, ban callback every Farenki we've ever met on Deep Space 9. Yeah, and at least one that we haven't met, right? Because we don't know Lek, do we? Oh yeah, we do. Do we? We totally know Lek. When did we meet Lek? Lek was in the episode Farenki love songs.

Doing what? That was the episode where Quark discovered that Mugi and Zeck were in love with each other. And what did Lek do in it? Lek worked with Zeck. Lek worked with Zeck. He was his adjutant. Uh-huh.

Well, Lek is a, is, is the knife expert for this team. Guns for shot. Nice for a pro. Not your typical for Angi much more motivated by his bloodless than by remuneration. Doesn't he says out loud. He does not care about Latin them and that fucking shatters these guys brains when they hear that. Yeah, I mean, he should be thrown in jail for even saying that, right? That should be against the law, but he is tempted into participating because he will get to test his skills in combat against Jim Hadar, and that is very exciting to him.

These skills we come to discover are laughable. So I don't know why he's so excited. Yeah. I mean, what like, would it have worked though if they weren't laughable? Like if this guy was like a totally devastating badass, would you have believed him as a as a as a forangi? I don't know. I mean, I think it might have been interesting if one of them was just really, really good at this instead of them all being terrible. Yeah. But I guess it's that that title is given to Quark, right? Because he's the one that later on is so frustrated by everyone's inability to do anything strategic. Right. I thought a lot in this episode about how dangerous the Frankie were in TNG. Like they were goofy and embarrassing, but they were also getting over on the enterprise crew pretty routinely.

These Frankie don't feel that capable, you know. I was thinking about what changed and the absence of the phaser lasso is what changed. Ben, you got to bring that thing back. The fur and the phaser lasso go away and they just turn into jokes. What happened to the fur? I don't know. Bring it back. Bring back the fur. Maybe it's, it's like the ROMs and Star Trek Picard.

You get your, you get your Highland, Firingi and your Lolan Firingi. The Highland types are the fur and lasso type. Yeah. Because the wet muddy Firingi of Deep Space Nine is not a place where fur would be that adapted. It'd be a disaster. Yeah. It'd be a disaster. Yeah.

It'd be real messy. You'd be getting mud in your fur all the time. It'd be stinky too, you know that. Yeah. They go bust cousin Gala out of jail at Starbase 3-Baba-Baba. You know Gala from the Lord of War episode of Deep Space 9? Yeah. And you know Starbase 3-Baba-Baba from establishing shots of earlier this season episodes of Deep Space Nine. Yeah, and you know Starbase 3 Blah-Bah-Bah-Bah from establishing shots of earlier this season

episodes of Deep Space Nine. Yeah. We're making all the callbacks. They get everybody together in Quark's bar that are having a meeting chaired by Nog who is talking through schematics. He's got them looking over a schematic of a gem hadhidar holding facility. So they're

talking about a like a guns-hot rescue raid in this in this scene. You can tell that Nog is a little bit drunk with like the equivalent of new rich. He's like new power. Right. Yeah. He's of new rich, he's like new power. Right, yeah, yeah, he's drunk on it and using it in more extravagant ways than somebody who's used to having it. Don't be ridiculous. You mean don't be ridiculous, sir. And a holding facility is a place that we've seen, right?

That's the Gladiator camp that Warfan Martak were kept in, right? Yeah, they better hope that none of them get thrown into that circle because none of them could hold their own against a Martok type. Now, I mean, that'd be easy pickings. But the team is not complete yet, Adam. Now, it sure isn't.

Enter, Brunt. Ex-liquidator Brunt. Apparently, he has been his employment with the Franky Commerce authorities has been severed. He's got a bit of an axe to grind, but also wants to participate in this in this little raid in order to get back in the good graces of the Grand Negus, which would be great for him. But Quark says like, yeah, fuck off. We don't actually need you. But Brunt, Brunt's got a ship, which is one element of of this scheme that they

hadn't quite figured out. Jeffrey comes is in more episodes of this show than many actors who have their name in the title credits. Yeah. He's definitely been in more episodes than for some reason Jake this season. Why? What is it take to make the credits on this show? I wonder. I wonder if one of the rules of that is you need to be one character in order to do it. Like is the multiplicity of characters the factor that keeps him out of the credits? That makes sense to me. I don't know. I mean, who knows the vagaries of Hollywood contracting?

Star Trek credits also always include the character name and I wonder if that's... I wonder if it's just too much work to change the credits every time for Jeffrey Cums because it would always be a different character. Yeah, yeah, it would cost a fortune. I mean, like you'd give him character cloud to cover them all. Yeah, end credits. They start practicing for this. They have like a, a, a hollow sweet practice facility. It's, it's Star Trek caves. They're trying to shoot the gemhidar and not moogie,

but they're finding that the gemhidar in these, even in the hollow training, are way more than they can handle. And these do not seem like the most tactically adept gemhidar. They're not crouching behind cover and firing. They're just standing there in the middle of the room, shooting everybody. It's pretty fun to see this crew get murdered. Yeah. The way they are. That's neat. I liked it.

I liked like shooting Moogie. I liked that Moogie got to do a going down by phaser fire scene. If you're an actor and your and your role is Moogie, I think you've got to relish this moment. Yeah. Like you know, you're not going to get killed like this on the show. Not ordinarily. Yeah. Yeah. you're not gonna get killed like this on the show, ordinarily. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're leaning into it. Yeah. This is the eighth time they've done this and they seem to be getting worse. That's take 62. We got it just back. Nag is not doing a great job doing the tactical leadership stuff

and he's starting to get frustrated. I think we're getting better. No, you're not. But more frustrated than anybody is quirk. Get out of here. Who feels like they are just wasting their time trying to make a crack infiltration squad out of a bunch of ridiculously overdressed businessmen.

Yeah, he might be the most overdressed, right? Yeah. He's wearing the jacket of a flamboyant televangelist in this episode. Yeah, it's like a tailcoat but made out of gray-hound bus upholstery material. It doesn't appear to allow the kind of range of motion that you want on a mission like this. Yeah, like there are men's jackets that are made for holding a rifle, but they have...

They have gussets, right? Yeah, they have extra material sewn in around the arms and in the back, so that when you raise the rifle, it's got some expansion. He doesn't have that. You get the gussets, Ben. The gussets.

All right. Everything is not the time I wanted to make action figures when I was nine, Adam. This is the moment where Quark needs to decide to kill his team or get off the pot. He's fairly devastated by his chances. I like to know. I was a little pep talk here, because I'm like, why are you trying to be a Nosykin man? Like this isn't you? What you are is a business man. Why don't we do this as a negotiation? That's what you're good at.

It should have been his first thought, but it's not because it would have prevented all of the fun scenes of them training together. That would have killed like 20 minutes of episode time if it hadn't been, if it had been his first thought. So yeah, everyone in the writer's room is like stretching the taffy. So the have a little meeting with Cisco and Kira and we come in an in media race with Quark thanking them for what they've done for him. And they say like, this is good for us as well. So don't even sweat it.

And we don't even know what this is about in this. I love that Kira, who also by the way fucking hates Quark, is like, yeah, he did me a solid, getting me out of jail. So here is your old one. Yeah. She says, don't turn your back on him. He's not to be trusted about whoever they are talking about. My mind went in a lot of directions here. Yeah. Because I think the last person we saw in a holding cell was DuCott, right? I also guessed that it was going to be DuCat. I had not paid much attention to the opening credit sequence.

I said, wow, Mark Alamos, he gonna be in this? Yeah, yeah, very surprised to see Kevan on Brunt's ship. We need to talk about Kevan as back. It's true. The only reason Brunt's even involved in this mission is this ship. It's like when you're in high school And you have a friend that has a car and you really don't like this friend for any other reason then that he has a car. Yeah

Yeah, yeah, that's That was me in high school Adam. So thank you. You were the person with the car Why am I suddenly so popular? Why are these kids hanging out with me? No. I didn't even have a car. I had my dad's car. Sometimes. So Keevan walks on board to the shock of everyone.

What you want to do when Keevan arrives is introduce Keevan to everyone else. Who's there and Ram does a good job of that. Hi. I'm Ram. Yeah, Keevan kind of dumps ice in all of their laps though because he's like, hey, so it's gonna be nice dying with all of you guys and they're like, what do you mean?

And he's like, well, the second we leave this station, we're all fucking dead meat. Like the dominion is not, is not a negotiate with Ferenge's type of organization. And they're definitely going to torture and kill me when, when they have me, but they're probably going to kill you guys just to get me. Like they did not come here to party the way you think they did. I mean, Keevan really prescribes to the way of absolute candor here in a fun way. Yeah. You got old at no card. Yeah, he's kind of a co-op malat boy. Yeah, really is.

So they head out and where they're going to be doing this deal is Impaqnor. That's right. The Tilty Space 9 of the Quadrant. It's always Tilted. That's how you know it's M.P.K.Nore. Yeah. They come in, they scan for life forms. There are no life forms. And they go set up in the 6-bay of M.P.K.Nore.

Because it's pretty close to where they've docked their ship and and it's got you can kind of control access to the six bay so they can it's a defensible position on M. Pocknor. M. Pocknor is really the Cardassian Kangle Hat tilted on Samuel L. Jackson's head. Yeah. Cardassian space stations. It's like if you combine a Sam Jackson Cangle Hat with an auto junkyard where you can go like pick and pull spare parts. Yeah. That's exactly it.

So yeah, perfect comparison. Yeah. So they're trying to get this room set up. I like it. They eyeball the entrances and exits. They take inventory of the gear they have around them. Much of it is medical. They set up that alarm system that tells them if a ship is entering, they set up the thing to prevent unwanted transports so that the

the Dominion can't just grab Keevan and leave without even boarding the station. Nog is just as rigid in his leadership qualities as ever, though. He is really pointing fingers and delegating tasks. Yeah, he's really drill sergeant in them. Yeah, telling them that he'll unscrew their head and shut down their neck, that he will peel their face off with his teeth, et cetera, et cetera.

If you have some thoughts on my situation, you address me as your superior and not like one of your ass pals. As much of a downer as he is in his attitude to its key van that is the real downer of the group. Yeah. Anytime he begins to speak, he's telling them that they're all gonna die.

Given doesn't seem that upset about this, right? Like, it's kind of an interesting character choice that he's the guy that was honor bound to take his own life when he was captured by the federation. But yeah, and didn't like and he chose not to, but then he's also like as far as we can tell, not shitting himself at all about the fact that he's about to die at the hands of the dominion when he is given back to them. Like, he had the chance to Jeffrey Epstein himself

a number of times. Jeffrey Epstein, who famously killed himself in prison. And that is exactly what he did. There was no like foul play at all involved in that. Nothing weird happened there at all. Yeah. They've got some time to kill before the Gem had our show up. So they, they set him up with, I think, I think it's Gala that's going to be watching him for the first

shift and they all go to sleep and then wake up and Gala has lost track of Kiva. Gala fell asleep on watch. Yeah, Gala sucks. Can't do that. Yeah. He's an arm's dealer, not a soldier. I think anyone would have fallen asleep on watch though. This is sort of a motley crew. Yeah.

Yeah, none of these people are like super sharp. I'm a rain, come to a fore, I'm a rain, come to a fore. What are you doing? What are you doing? Can't run what you're doing now. I'm a rain, come to a fore. I'm a rain, come to a fore. They managed to get back to the craft before Keevan takes off and they'd like disconnected the starter or whatever so that it would be a little bit harder for him to leave. But, uh... I really like how much running is in this sequence. Yeah.

Really get a sense of the scale of the station when you get the sequence where you see every setting of the characters running through. I wondered if they sped this footage up like 5% or something, because it looked almost a little bit Charlie Chaplin. Yeah, yeah, I got a little bit of that feeling. It was fun though, yeah, I agree. Like they run and get him and then have to run back

because the proximity alarm goes off and the dominion ship is arriving. And then they like rush back to the six bay. They're like catching their breath. The alarm gets shut off from the outside. And Nog is made to go like crack the door open a bit to see if anyone is outside the six bay. And and when he cracks the door, he sees that they've brought all the gemhidar, Adam. It's so crazy when he looks out. And every available spot on the rail is taken by a gun-wielding gemhidar guy. Yeah. Like, they are elbow to elbow up there. I thought that was great. Like, I feel like a huge percentage of the budget of this episode was

just on the extras that they put in gemhead art makeup because that can't be cheap, right? Like getting like 25 guys in that makeup. The promise of the gemhead art is always overwhelming force and you get it mostly by reputation and not by seeing it. But this is one of the rare examples where you really see it. They're so outgunned that it's absurd. It's totally nuts. They start hearing calls from from outside to come out and start the parlay and that you know a Kivaan is there to say like yeah like they brought everyone because they're here to kill you like this is not this is not Kivaan is really the new to this

episode I think right yeah the family goes out to negotiate I guess that makes all this worthwhile. Don't you start with me quark. And they walk right out into the kill zone. Right. And it really meet, but another report to, played by Iggy Pop. Did you clock him right away just by voice, I sure did. I saw his name come up in the opening credits.

And at this point, like, you know, most of the episode has gone by. Like, he is not revealed to like about the 30 minute mark in the episode and I was like, where is this Iggy Pop character going to be? And boy, he has a great face for Vorta makeup because the, the like, side lobes coming down on the ears really make him look alien. Yeah, hey, Yellin, why the long face? He's got a great face for Vorda, you're right. And a great voice for it too. He's, I feel like most other Vordas we've met have a higher pitched or Adam Pranika style voice.

Yeah, and Yelgrin's got a deeper voice. I'm glad I was here to witness it. Yelgrin is a real no nonsense, no bullshit type of order. Like, right. He is, he does not have time for this stupid negotiation. He's not interested in negotiating really. He just, he has to. So, the, He just he he has to so yeah the the interactions are very like to the point and and and business like and What cork arranges here is all right like here's how it's gonna work Like you're gonna send all of these gem are back to your ship your ship is going to start Traveling toward dominion space at all deliberate speed. And then in like 30 minutes, we're gonna do this prisoner exchange.

And it's just gonna be you and us. And you can keep two of your gem-hidar, maximum. For some reason, this is a thing that Yellgren agrees to. I mean, I still feel like two gem-hidar is more than enough to take on these verangu, right? Yeah, what's the verangu gemH.R. exchange rate, you think? I think it's 10 to 1. I think it's an easy 10 to 1.

I think at an airport, that's more like 7 to 1. Because they really get you at the airport. Yeah, sure. Right. They take a big cut off the top. Right. But if you wait, if you can wait and do it with your bank, 10 to 1. Sure.

Speaking of cuts off the top, I feel like Yelgrin was really rocking an extremely high top fade. Yeah, you don't get to see a lot of words together that often. Yeah. So it's fun to cut back and forth between him and Givon. Yeah, like that a lot. They also have to establish something important in the scene, which is whether or not

Mugi is a gold. Right, and you just have to stab or define it out. That falls to the grandson. It's noug that does it? Something that has always driven me nuts about movies and television is that whenever somebody needs to get some blood from someone, they do the knife across the palm. Like I can't think of a worse place to have a knife wound than your palm. It's also the most painful place to be sliced, right?

It's the most painful place, it's the most debilitating place, and it's gonna take the longest to heal, because that skin moves the most. Are we assuming dermal regeneration is going to happen, and that's why it's a consequence-free slice across the hand? Oh, yeah, I guess in Star Trek, it's less consequential. Shit, I didn't even think about dermal regeneration. They get back to Six Bay and everybody is super impressed with Quark because he basically

told the Dominion how it's gonna be and the Dominion agreed to it. Like he looks very badass to all of them in this moment. It does. I mean it's that danger though of celebrating too soon, right? Right. Well it's it's that combined with ROM can't be excited and not let some key information slip. Right. Because they're all, they're all geeking out about this and Ram is like, this is going to be great. I can't wait to whack up that 50 bars of Latinum. 50 bars. You said the reward was 20. And this is an argument that turns hot enough that a rifle goes off and all of the forangi managed to duck, but Keevan gets the rightful blast right

to the chest. It's a smoking pit and he, uh, any face plants on the floor of this six bay. I love it. RSVP Keevan. His last words were, I hate Ferengy. And, uh, I feel like Keevan kind of says what we were all thinking in this episode. Yeah. We have become Keevan in that moment. We have become Keevan. This is bad. This is really bad because the thing that Quark negotiated is now in danger of being blown up because they have no thing to exchange for Moogie.

It's a fucking crisis and you know there's a ticking clock here too right because they had a 30 minute timer that they set with the Vorta outside and now they've got a dead Keevan. We got a dead Keevan here. Nobody cares. But, but you know, a couple of gem hadar who are going to be none too pleased about this, about this bullshit. So the exchange rate on a dead key van is even worse than an airport key van exchange rate. What is it's like it's like half of a dead Keevan equals 10 for Angi equal one gemadar.

Right. Oh wait, no, that doesn't work. Cause that would mean that gemadar is less valuable than a Keevan. Aren't they though? I think it's 100 dead Keevans to 10 for Angis to one gemadar. Wow, you really think the gemadar are worthless. No, the gemadar were the most.

Really? I don't get this math that you're doing. You're so high right now, man. I mean, I always do the money exchange at the airport. That's my problem. Yeah. Very bad, an international travel. That's a sucker's deal. Yeah. My wife would drive Eve if she saw you do that. I choose convenience over value. It's bad. So Keevan has fallen in a room chock full of medical equipment. And it makes you think that his wound may be survivable.

They start putting those little stick-on computer deals on his forehead and stuff. Yeah, I think you're going to get a bit of a clip show here. Yeah, yeah. The portable clip show device. But these are just little neural stimulators. And when I get, puts one on him, Kiwans arm reaches up and smacks,

not across the forehead. Okay, that's just about the most awful thing I've ever seen. Franky thinks that the day you saved but Nog explains, no, no. That was just like an autonomic reaction. But I think we could use this to our advantage. So they find the crate of neural stimulators and stick them all over this dude. Has anyone here seen Weekend at Bernies? I think I've got an idea.

Just gonna have to trust me, this Weekend at Keven's plan just might work. They need a little time though. So Quark has to run out of the hallway and stall with Yellgren, but he says he wants to change the spot for the exchange to over by the airlock where their ship is docked. Yelgrin is a little bit cheese about this, but understands why Quirk wants to make a hasty getaway once he's got his moogie back. So they agree. They're gonna go, they're gonna go meet up in this hallway. And we get this scene right where, where it's, it's a yellow grin and a couple of gemmy dars and moogie down at one end of the hallway and

quark and zombie key van down at the other end of the hallway and they like count down and then you know the prisoner exchange starts and Moogie starts walking toward quark and then Over and over in the over in the side of the other hallway Now I guess sort of trying to play quap with key van and Make him make him walk toward I love that the controllability of radio controlled Keevan has all of the accuracy of like the old radio shack RC cars that used to get when we were little, like the worst RC cars. Like you put in a control input and then the truck would turn five seconds later

and then go into a curb. Yeah. Well, this hard, man. Yeah. So, Keevan makes it like three quarters of the way there before he kind of veers into a wall. This distraction is enough for a lack and company to throw open a door

and take out the gem hadar. One of them goes down with a knife and I think the other one gets shot. Yellgren ducks and does not get killed. But all the threats are off the board. So this is victory for Engie. Do we get to celebrate this time again? Guess so.

There's a lot of celebration in this episode. There it is. I mean, they're happy to have Moogie back. They decide to give Yelgrin to the Federation as a thank you for giving them KiVan. And it's kind of a big gift, right? Because Yelgrin is going to have more up-to-date information to be debriefed of than KiVan did. I hope we cut back to KiVan every once in a while in the episode to head. Of him just... Just still bonking against the wall.

Yeah, I wanna know how long those batteries last. Yeah, what would go first, the batteries or would he just start rotting? Yeah, I wonder if it's a water torture thing where even if you hit your head against a bulkhead very lightly, in totality after hitting it there 20,000 times eventually you just bash your brains in. Yeah, well, I hope they, I hope they keep doing that cut so that we can find out.

So Quark gets to experience the heroism that he was kept from in that first scene. He gets to know what it's like. He doesn't know what it's like. He has to ask his brother. His brother says it feels pretty good. And quark agrees. Feels good. Yeah.

You think Yelgrin kills himself the way Kivarn was supposed to? I mean, that's the promise, right? Yeah. That's what we've been told. Yelgrin's not gonna make it that far. I want more Yelgrin. I know. Yelgrin was such a great character.

Like, I feel like... Are we gonna get away you and Yelgrin? Conversation? Yeah, or like a make-out scene or something? I want that. You really want to do this. Here. Now, okay, okay, let's do it. Did you like the episode? I like Yelgrin. Yeah, I think I like the

episode though. I mean, this episode tells you very early on. Do not take this seriously. Yeah, this is going to be one of the silly ones. And I took that message to heart and I think that made the episode quite enjoyable. At the say, like the previous episode, uh, statistical probabilities was also a episode with largely silly characters. That I think also signaled not to take it super seriously ahead of time, but I think I like this episode a lot more than that one. Yeah. Because it just felt, I don't know, it was a more interesting story. I mean, unlike our hit show Friendly Fire, I think we can credibly compare episodes of Deep Space Nine, especially within the same season. I like the thing that made me a little sad about statistical probability is that that was like a Bashir centerpiece episode and we rarely ever get those.

I feel like we get a lot of quark centerpiece episodes like this. And I think for the most part they're better. Yeah. Do you think that they're keeping track of that as actors like they've got to be right? Yeah, it makes me think that like a lot like SNL where I wonder if the actors are sort of pitching the writers in like you got to you got to give me an episode guys it's been a while since we've had a bishir app. Why don't you cook something up? Like is there's that kind of jockeying for time? There's gotta be there's gotta be yeah, right?

Like if you're if your Alexander Siddick and you're looking like wow There's been like 10 episodes this season and I've only gotten one that's kind of centered on my character That's not good. Yeah, it's got to feel bad to weaken and weak out get your Get get in the chair get the makeup get the costume, and then do your six lines and be done with it. You got a really kind of ache for your A story if you don't get it. One thing I noticed about these two episodes, episode nine and ten, was that I think nine was the last episode before Thanksgiving in 1997, and ten was the first episode after Christmas. And it's interesting to think

about those being kind of comparatively light stories around holiday time. Like this was like a very dark opening to the season and then they seem to have pulled up out of the abyss for the time of year. That episode would be coming out. I think that's a great point and it's something I never really look at. All this information's available to us. We know release dates, but I never considered their placement within the calendar year with any significance, but I think you're right. Like why not sprinkle the later ones at times in the year where you'd be with friends and family or people that are not usually exposed to start track, right?

Like, I think these are broader themes and situations where you don't really need the entire backstory of these characters to appreciate what's happening. And your mother-in-law is there like, why is that guy's ears so big? What's why what's what's his deal? What now now? What's a Vardo again? Is he gonna take his shirt off and sing some songs at some point or now these guys are farningies, right? songs at some point or now these guys are farningies right? Well do you want to see if we have any priority one messages in the inbox Adam? Sure do. Priority one message from Starfleet coming in on secured channel. You need a supplement on top. Yeah it's extra. The interest alone could be enough to buy this ship.

Okay, Adam, couple of priority one messages here. This is the first. It's from Joel in Bristol, UK. And it's to us, Ben and Adam. Goes like this. Well, I just finished viewing the greatest Gen TNG episodes and decided it was finally time to stop denying these hardworking boys their scarves. I haven't started Voyager yet, but I hope the scarves bit has stuck.

If you want to come to the UK, I will set you up with Podcast Fluid. Love ya boy, Joel. Hey, thanks Joel. Thank you Joel. I I would love some some British podcast fluid. They got good podcast fluid over there Really do it tastes different over there from what I know what you know what American podcast fluid has in common with having sex in a canoe Adam It's fucking close to water Delightful.

Our second priority one message is to David the Classicist. I'm gonna just from... Now your wife this time. Oh boy. Oh no. Ah, I don't want to be a part of this. Yeah, seems. Seems dangerous.

Maybe the message will help us understand. It goes like this. I've finally watched all episodes everywhere. From discussing Trek with you as kids back home, desipping whiskey at your house, chatting, our way through a pandemic I hope Star Trek, and you are both parts of my life forever. PSI swear I'll read your dissertation soon. Thank you, thank you so much for telling me about TGG. I see, so the year is not us, it's somebody else. Right, that was a misplaced yore, is what that was.

But still... I didn't know which wife we were talking about, Adam. I was very worried. That's where my mind went to, and then I thought, well, like, if this isn't David's, if this isn't my wife, and it's not David's wife, then who is this? Are there other wives in the world?

Ha, ha, ha. Anyways, that's a very sweet message, David's wife, and who is this? Are there other wives in the world? Hahaha. Anyways, it's a very sweet message. If you would like to send a priority one message to somebody, we'd really appreciate it. It helps us keep the lights on around here. You had to maximumfund.org slash Jembo Tron to do it. Do it now! Gotta get that, get that gold press,

I got that, got that, got that gold press, like that. Come on right, right, uh, oh, yeah. Come on, come on right, right, uh, oh, yeah. A Greatest Gen Live Show is something you don't want to miss.

Hey Adam. Step in. Did you find yourself a drunk Shimoda? A red-o-mo. Drunk Shimoda! God, the obvious choice is Yellgren, but I'm gonna go with Rom. The way Rom introduces himself and everyone else to Keven aboard the ship is just so sweet. It's sweet in a way that he's really up in his own head about being hospitable and kind

in a way that he's not really thinking about it He's not thinking about his situation in a way that's very Shimoda-esque Yeah, so I'm just gonna I'm gonna give it to Ram this time. I'm gonna avoid the obvious. What about you? I'm gonna give it to Leck just every time Every time he was on screen. I thought about that guy in lockstack and two smoking barrels that says, guns for show, knives for a pro. Yeah, I like his naith combat pedigree, so lech is my drunks robota for this episode.

I like that impression. On the next episode, season six episode 11, Waltz, we will be watching an episode with the following description. After their ship is destroyed, Cisco is stranded on a distant planet with an increasingly disturbed DuCott. DuCott. He's back. He's back. And I'm going to head over to gach.biz slash game where he keeps the game of buttholes, the will of the prophets. And roll the dice on the next episode. Of course, we are currently on square 42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything. A little bit ahead, we've got that cocoa no-no episode. And I think that's the only thing we could hit conceivably.

You're required to learn as you play, roll. So I'm going to go ahead and roll it. Roll it. Tula! Did I win? I've rolled a five, which puts us on the table. go ahead and roll it. Roll it. Shula! Did I win? Aw, big.

I've rolled a five, which puts us on square 47. We jumped right over that cocoa no-no. So no drunk asod for these people. No drunk asod for us either. Nope, just bags and cans for you and me. Mm-hmm, you know, that sounds pretty suggestive, putting it that way. Yeah, but I'm looking forward to it.

Sounds like a fun episode. You wanna take this puppy home? Gotta do it. Ben, of course, the show can't go anywhere without the support we get at MaximumFund.org slash join. Your support keeps us going, keeps the lights on, keeps us fed and drank.
