The Greatest Generation - You’re Welcome, Ladies (S1E9)

Episode Date: February 22, 2016

When Captain Picard abandons a perfectly good ship full of Pelican cases, the Ferengi are nice enough to return it to him. Meanwhile, he's reminded of an old crime (which has nothing to do with Wesley...), and gets a massive headache in the process. Finally, we introduce the "Picosby," and nothing is ever the same. Be sure to listen all the way to the end for a brand new listener-submitted Drunk Shimoda song!

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. Hey, this is Ben. And Adam. And we just wanted to say welcome. We really never planned on any human beings listening to this show. We mainly intended it as an archival record of what dorks we were for some future space civilization
Starting point is 00:02:31 to uncover, but I guess it's gotten out on iTunes and there's been an article now and man, it just seems like a lot of new people are finding the show. And personally, that's very humiliating for me and maybe even Ben. But it's also really cool, because I think it tells us that there are a lot of people out there like us
Starting point is 00:02:52 who are interested in following the show again, picking it up, where maybe they hadn't seen it since they were a kid, and sort of laughing with and at. It's many attempts to entertain us. Yeah, so we just really want to say we appreciate all the really kind things people have said, especially in iTunes reviews from a nice thing to say standpoint. From a publicizing the show standpoint, obviously it presents a problem because more people will find out about this shameful thing we are doing.
Starting point is 00:03:24 The more iTunes reviews we get. We'll find out about this shameful thing we are doing. The more iTunes reviews we get. So if you're just tuning in now, we're doing the next generation in order from season 1 through season 7. So it's a show that's easy to jump around on, but if you want to start from the beginning, just go back to episode one. I would say that episode two is probably un-missable just because it establishes what drunk Shimoda is as a element of our series that anybody who's listening
Starting point is 00:03:56 is gonna wanna know what we're talking about. And actually, as a bonus, at the end of this episode, we're gonna drop in a pretty amazing rendition of the song Drunk Shimoto that we only imagined in that episode that a listener sent in. Yeah, that I think was one of the best bits of fun from a really crazy week. It's been pretty wild to see this little show take off,
Starting point is 00:04:28 certainly unexpected and really cool. Yeah, pretty incredible. So we just wanted to say thanks to everybody who's listening and also to Kyle or Noes Hare 5.5 on YouTube who sent in the song that we're gonna tag on to the end of this episode. Thanks and let's get the show started. Here's to the finest crew in Starfleet. Engage! This is the greatest generation, a Star Trek podcast by two guys who are a bit embarrassed to have Star Trek podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:13 I'm Ben Harrison. I'm Adam Pranaka and if you want to listen to a podcast about Star Trek the next generation where the hosts aren't embarrassed, they're about a million of those out there. There's so many. They can, like, there's like a whole website of, like, 50 Star Trek podcasts. And they, I'm sure, are so sincere about their love of the show. They're taking it very seriously.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I'm sure they have a ton of listeners, unlike us. I mean, those are just three major differences between this podcast and the others. Yeah, I mean, I will say I think ours is a little bit more fun because our ironic distance enables us to kind of, you know, have fun at our own and the show's expense. Absolutely, yeah. And look, when you take something really seriously, it's less fun and I think Great bit of evidence for that is the first seven episodes of this series Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:24 All right, this episode is the battle. Episode 8. It's a title that promises something, Ben. Yeah. It's an over promise, I would say. Yeah. This is their next interaction with the Ferengy, the second of two so far. And the enterprise is, I guess it starts in their sort of like, in orbit of some planet
Starting point is 00:06:47 with a Faringie ship and the Faringie are not really answering hails. They've been like three days and they are just saying, stand by. Picard is getting some headaches and sort of wondering what's up. And then Wesley runs onto the bridge and announces that there's something approaching what's up and then Wesley runs onto the bridge and announces that there's something approaching from long range and he was able to dissect it because he was goofing around and engineering with the long range sensors. I love sort of like Jordi running to the front of the ship to get a look at the station from yeah an episode ago like the most efficient way to communicate for Wesley at this point is to walk to a turbo lift get on that turbo lift go to the bridge Well, Wesley Devon really has a motive. He's I mean in Picard scolds him for this
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah, he called him out. Yeah, he's like you're just trying to get get up here so that you can be in the mix when the Ferengi shit starts popping off and That is not an appropriate way to act So yeah, yeah, well done and that is not an appropriate way to act. So, yeah, well done. This is also the debut of the first, like, uniform-esque costume for Wesley, which is not really uniform, but...
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, Rest in Peace, orange, kooji sweater. We're really sorry to see you go. Yeah, I mean, like this is a pretty boring uniform and the next one is even more boring. You don't see any other person on the ship wear this uniform, though, right? It's sort of like a weird scarlet letter. It's like you made it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yeah. This vessel that's approaching turns out is a constellation-class starship. And the frangie beam over to the bridge of the enterprise and the Daemon who goes by the name Bach announces that the chip that's coming in is a gift for Captain Picard and I guess he calls him the hero of Maxia and Picard doesn't really know what he's talking about, and data with his prodigious memory recalls that Picard destroyed a unknown vessel in the Maxia system nine years ago when he was commanding the Stargazer, and he defeated it with a brilliant maneuver that is taught at the Academy
Starting point is 00:09:07 now called the Picard maneuver where you go to warp right before you, I guess, wait, you shoot and then you go to warp and the enemy fires at your ship right where you were coming from. I think your struggle in describing the Picard maneuver is pretty standard for anyone watching this episode. Yeah. I don't think we're meant to truly understand what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Until they sort of show what it is later on. I mean, I sort of thought the Picard maneuver was something that he did to Wesley. Yeah, that sort of begs the question, what would the Reiker maneuver be? Well, the one thing I know is it probes deep space. It's not something they teach at the Academy. Anyway, stupid fucking, frangy guy. It's pretty pissed off at Picard because the ship that he destroyed was in fact a frangish ship and was commanded by his son. So Damon Bach's son had just gotten his command and I guess decided to set
Starting point is 00:10:31 off in this space and open fire on a federation vessel without any provocation. Like, this is sort of a Rashaman-esque episode, like you get two sides of the same story. I think that's giving it a lot of credit that it does necessarily deserve. I'm really trying, Ben. I'm really trying to give some credit here. So yeah, the ship that is showing up is in fact the Stargazer,
Starting point is 00:10:57 which is a real mind-fuck for Picard because they had to abandon it after this Maxia fight, which you would think like, he would remember Maxia more clearly if it was where he had to abandon it after this Maxia fight. Which, he would think like, he would remember Maxia more clearly if it was where he had to abandon the last ship he was in command of. Well, when he tells the story to his own bridge crew after the conversation with the Ferengi, he's like, yeah, the battle was crazy and shit was blowing up everywhere
Starting point is 00:11:23 and we ended up bailing out into some shuttle crafts and we were in the shuttle crafts for like weeks and then there's a pause and he's like, I hardly think of it anymore, which... I mean, he's like the most traumatic thing a Catholic could go through. For being like less than 10 years ago, it would be the only thing on my mind all the time, if that had happened to anyone else.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Dude is cool as a cucumber, you know? He had to abandon ship, but that was what the situation called for. He doesn't question himself. He's not neurotic at all. Also, they do a scan of the Stargazer, and it's like, yeah, it's just like superficial fire damage, but all the primary systems are fully functional, which begs the question, like, why are they bailing out of the ship? Right. Does it smell real bad, like fire damage, like a house fire, maybe these didn't want to
Starting point is 00:12:17 have their clothes all smelly? Yeah. Well, the exterior of the ship definitely has a zero noticeable damage. I guess I was sort of wondering did the fringy fix it up or when they salvaged it, did they patch it back together a little bit? Because it's the only thing that could really explain that part. We know the future economy doesn't care about the value of things.
Starting point is 00:12:49 But there's an entire ship out there that they just cut loose, and they don't even care about finding again. I think that's weird. A lot of deranium and tritanium. Oh, and also, I guess we wouldn't want that entire starship to fall into enemy hands at any point. Right. That piece of fucking military, material that any other alien race could, could reverse engineer
Starting point is 00:13:18 into something that could be used against them at some point. It's still fully armed. It has all but six of its torpedoes on board. Yeah. Yeah. Good job, guys. A lot about this backstory is hard to swallow. It sounds like it's hard to swallow. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I had a huge, huge mouthful of peanut butter when we started recording. That is not how I prepare for this show. So anyways they beam aboard the stargazer and Picard goes and checks out his his old cabin and he's got a lot of like books and kind of sentimental items in there. He doesn't notice the giant like glowing basketball that's in one of the trunks that's in there. Do you remember when you were a kid, the Pogo ball,
Starting point is 00:14:19 the ball with the ring around it and you stand on the ring and you jump around? That's what this prop looks like. Yeah. It looks like something that maybe they were like thinking about making be an alien spaceship but didn't really come out good enough. Yeah. So they went with making it a set prop instead. So we'll come to kind of find that this sphere is one of two and Bach is operating the other one on his ship and this is the thing that is behind Picard's headaches and they're kind of getting worse and worse as the episode goes on and the doctor can't make heads or tails of it.
Starting point is 00:15:02 We see, we see Damon Bach operating it in his quarters, I guess, aboard the Ferenji ship, which is the first time we've seen the Ferenji have anything, but blank whiteness inside their ship. These scenes are so funny, it's just Bach sitting by himself in this creepy room with this creepy device cackling like a madman. Yeah, it's total peak bad guy maneuvering.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Like, and we get five of these scenes of just cutting to Bach, him like looking toward this guy and howling with laughter at the pain he's causing for card. So anyways, they pack up all the shit on the Stargazer for Picard and send it to his room. And that somehow includes this device. Like nobody notices that it's among his personal effects. And-
Starting point is 00:15:50 They're able to scan the entire ship and know how many torpedoes are in it and whatnot. But their sensors can't penetrate the pelican case that contains this mind-altering device. Like, what do you go, guys? I guess that's why they stick Jordy out front to take a look at other ships, too. contains this mind altering device. Like, what do you go guys? I guess that's why they stick Jordy out front to take a look at other ships too. Like, yeah, just some clear holes in their sensor abilities. I'm glad to see the Pelican cases have a future in a cashless economy.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah, the company's like 800 years old at that point, right? I believe it. That's industry standard stuff right there for any production. It's a good way to keep your equipment dry and safe. Yeah. This episode brought to you by Pelican. A lot of this episode is also confusing because the the Franky kind of offer this starship up as a gift and then they're just kind of hanging around, and it's not really clear why. Like obviously the real reason that they're still there,
Starting point is 00:16:51 and the real reason that they gave them back the Stargazer is so that this Damon can exact his revenge on Picard, but they don't ever sort of offer a pretense for why they're hanging around. Yeah. And so they're just there. And like Wesley picks up low-level signals coming from the Feranghi vessel that they wind up tracing to this orb. And by this point, Picard has beamed himself over to the stargazer and is in sort of a fugue state imagining that he's back
Starting point is 00:17:25 in the Battle of Maxia, you know, commanding his ghost ship to, and all of his ghost crew to attack, the enterprise that he is under the mistaken impression is this unknown vessel. They finally kind of put it all together that this mine control orb has been at the center of it all, and Riker gets on the view screen with Picard and like begs him to look around the bridge that he's on and shoot the other control orb with a phaser. It blows up real big. They bailed to a stunt guy and he's clearly like jumping onto a mattress. There's the ton of shit happening in that scene.
Starting point is 00:18:10 That's good. Oh yeah, it's a good explosion. Like almost, almost delivers on the promise of the episode right there. Like it, it's definitely like a good effect. In this scene also, Picard is doing a Picard maneuver to the enterprise. So they have to figure out a way to counter-man the danger that that would put them in. And there's a very funny scene where Riker's like, Dato, what's the defense against the Picard maneuver?
Starting point is 00:18:41 And he's like, there is none. And he says, well, figure one out. And he just sits there for a few seconds. Wesley's like keeping your clothes on. Don't let him touch your bathing suit area. Do not let him near your drink. I thought that was the Cosby maneuver. Zap zap zap. It's the phasers in the top peedoles.
Starting point is 00:19:08 You go to war and then you shoot the torpedoes. You're not to let the man shoot the torpedoes rudy. Theo! A greatest-gen live show is something you don't want to miss. Why? Well, it's a great opportunity to see me and Ben in person, but that's not all. FODs from all over gather at these shows to cosplay, to do pre and post show hangs, to make friends, and share their embarrassment. Hey, let's make a pretty great name for a tour. Let's do it! The Sherry Reembarishment Tour is coming in August 2023, and we've got a bunch of dates in a lot of great places. Go to GreatestGenTour.com to get more info.

On Jordan Jesse Go, we make pure, delightful nonsense. We were open awesome guests and bring them down to our level. We get stupid with Judy Greer. My friend Molly and I call it having the spaceweards.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Pat Noswald. Could I get a Balrog burger and some air-gorn fries? Thank you. And Kumail Nanjiani. I've come back with cat toothbrushes, which is impossible to use. Come get stupider with us at MaximumFun.org. Look, your podcast apps are already open. Just pull it out.

Hey, hey, hey, oh, I'm about to count you in mine. These clouds are really freaking me out. I hate having to stand in line.
Starting point is 00:20:58 And boy, what do I? These giraffes do not smell good. No, they do not, and they've such short nacks. But I'm hearing we need to get on this. We've got to get on the art. Yeah. It's about to rain. It's about to destroy humanity. Hey, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Are you Noah? Yeah, I know we look like humans. Oh, we're actually, we're podcasters. We are podcasters, so it's different. Have you heard of Ono Ross and Kerry? We investigate spirituality, claims of the paranormal, stuff like that. And you have a boat and say the world's gonna end, so seem like something for us to check out.
Starting point is 00:21:25 We would love to be on the boats. We came two by two. What do you think? Oner Ross and Kerry, available on MaximumFun and Outorg. Okay, we're back. We had to cut out, probably more minutes of us doing Cosby Picard. Cosby Card.
Starting point is 00:21:44 That's funny. of us doing Cosby Picard. Cosby Card. That's funny. That came out in the first post Cosby sweater episode. Oh yeah, wow. Anyways, fun to talk about a serial rapist. Oh geez. Oh boy, yeah, that's fun. Anyways, the Enterprise catches the Star Gaser in its tractor beam, Picard, Fasers, his mind control device, and they get on
Starting point is 00:22:15 the view screen with Kazago, the the first officer of the Freg ship and he reveals that Bach has been taken out of his command because he pursued an unprofitable venture. And I guess the, you know, the, I mean, the Franky had been complaining the entire time that Bach gave them the ship for free with no profit involved and all that. So I guess when they realized that it's all just been vengeance and not an actual business venture, they're pretty rip shit with the captain and they remove him from his command.
Starting point is 00:22:57 There's kind of a cool like number one to number one kind of respect knuckles moment there. Like I think there's a good episode for Ryker, just in general. Yeah, the captain is getting put under the influence of an alien fairly frequently at this point in his early career as the second and command of the Enterprise.
Starting point is 00:23:17 And I guess he's kind of an old hand at it at this point. He's like, yeah, don't worry. Well, like the captain is under an alien mind-controlled device's influence, we will figure this shit out. We will soldier through. The rest of the crew also is really used to just letting that happen, and not really doing anything about it,
Starting point is 00:23:35 not relieving him of command or submitting to him to any sort of examination other than just the most cursory exam. Yeah, the doctor is definitely like, not really taking seriously the headache thing at the beginning. She definitely, she's like, barely aware that headaches are even an illness.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah, when he first brings them up. And then, like, he seems to be like, used to getting a headache. He's not like, what is going on? My head it hurts. It's like an ancient illness, like a headache. You know, I have a headache and she's like, oh, what? It's as if he goes to sick-be covered in leeches.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Like, she just can't even process the idea. Yeah, so that's a little weird. Like there's a scene where she gives him like four or five different medical treatments for these headaches and then eventually puts him to sleep with some computer chips stuck to his forehead. And it's like, like nobody is really taking seriously the fact that he has these persistent headaches
Starting point is 00:24:39 that they can't account for and is also acting super weird. He's talking to the fringy through the viewer and he's like pausing in between sentences and like doubling over in pain. No one thinks to maybe relieve him of command at that point. You know, a fully healthy riker is just looking at him like, what the fuck? I could do this. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Maybe riker is selfish, selfishly letting him fall under the influence of the mind control sphere. Oh, yeah, you know, we can't rule that out. He's had his eye on that chair for a long time. Yeah. Eight episodes at this point. Did you get some real like wrath of convives from this story? Because to me, it felt like a reheated, uh, wrath of con vibes from this story because to me it felt like a reheated wrath of con storyline. There's definitely a lot of wrath of con and in fact the stargaze
Starting point is 00:25:30 kind of looks like the the ship that they go up against in the wrath of con. I can't remember what the ship is called. Oh you're talking about the reliant. The reliant. Yeah. That's a nice little moment of shame for me, just having, having that one at the ready. Yeah. I said, uh, I said to know that because I just rewatched a wrath of con. The director's cut is out. So you probably remember then, like, they sort of fall into the same trap as, as that crew does.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Like, here comes a ship they don't recognize. recognize. It's not responding to any hails. They don't put up their shields at any point like they should. Maybe doing that would have stopped the signal from getting into Picard's head. Beat for them. They just sort of let this happen. what this happened. There's a lot of, I mean, I think that one of the problems with Star Trek's techno babble usage is that you start to establish some rules with the techno babble and then it like, they can be conveniently broken whenever the script calls for it.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Like, Daemon Bach definitely beams off of the Stargaze or when its shields are up, which is not supposed to be allowed. And so, yeah, you have to question, like, would the shields shield this or not, because it's just, you know, the way the storyline, you know, it wouldn't work with the storyline if they did block it. There were a couple of new things that happened in this episode too. This one felt to me very different from the 8 that came before, like in terms of polish. It seemed like they really up the game a lot in terms of production, production polish. But one thing I felt like was a was a big misstep was the musical score, which seemed like it was drawing heavily from like Hagar era Van Halen.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Like it was super synth heavy. Did you did you get into that? There's been a couple of, of, of, Cynthia music cues in the, uh, in the series so far that, uh, that I've, I've noticed a lot of the, a lot of saw waves being employed. Right. I think this is one of the first instances to, of a, uh, pre-commercial riker, iTWitch, where he sort of turns away from who he's talking to, looks, uh, past the camera and then just sort of like, twitches he's talking to, looks past the camera, and then just sort of like twitches one eye before there was a commercial.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah. And that's something that this show goes to, like a thousand times. Yeah. You know, the way you broke to commercial in the 80s is it will never stop amusing me. Because it's great. Like, they always like play some suspenseful music and then it just like fades to black and then it fades right back up because I'm watching it on Amazon Prime.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I want to start doing that in real life where I'll have a conversation and then the conversation will come to a natural conclusion. And I'll just look past the person I'm talking to and twitch and I. Yeah, that doesn't work in real life. Hey Ben. What's that Adam? Who's your drunk Shimoda? Drunk Shimoda! My drunk Shimoda for this episode is definitely Picard.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I mean, you feel for the guy he's suffering from these headaches, but like, you fucking had your mind taken over before. Like, recognize some of the signs, man. Yeah, and like feel free at any point to take some responsibility and maybe relieve yourself of command instead of just hanging on. Yeah. God. It's really frustrating.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Look, like the flip side of that is, like this is the least ass-holy Picard has been. And in a weird way, like it might be my own personal history with migraine headaches, but actually feel some sympathy for him as a character in this episode. In a way, I've never felt it in the episodes that came before. Like he's a pretty big asshole up until this one. And for some reason, I'm back on his side as a sympathetic character. And maybe it's the headaches. Maybe it's something else, but I Don't know like I felt for the guy. Yeah, I mean you definitely don't like seeing him go through that I have a runner up drunk trimota. Oh just because there was a line that really made me laugh with Wesley
Starting point is 00:29:58 He kind of barges in on the counselor and the doctor discussing in on the counselor and the doctor discussing Picard's headaches and he explains that he's discovered these low-level transmissions coming from the Franky ship and that must be what's causing them and they run out to like go deal with the situation and after they leave he goes, you're welcome ladies. And then he just like leans up against the wall and shakes his head and goes, adults. Oh God, yeah. It's like such a ridiculous moment.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Why did they leave it in? Yeah, I mean, they had the chance to cut that part out before putting it on Netflix and I think I would have done everything possible to do that. They upgraded that scene to HD. Because that's what we deserve. My drunk Shimoda is, I feel like I've done this before. Once again, it's Beverly Crusher,
Starting point is 00:30:57 who I think says verbatim that she's the only one on the ship who can relieve Captain Picard of command. And she was not to do so. At the expense of everyone, like everyone's safety. So great job, Beverly. I think you might be up for a pretty big demotion, like maybe for an entire season coming up. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Spoiler alert. Yeah, some of these actions are pretty terrible and I think worthy of punishment. So that's where I'm at. That's why vote for Beverly. Bye, what are you? I am the cute and sublime. There are four lights. So our next episode is episode nine, Hyden Q. The Enterprise is once again challenged by the dangerous and powerful Q who offers Riker. Godlike powers in exchange for Riker's membership in the cue continuum.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Man, if you're gonna offer anyone the cue powers on that ship, isn't Riker the most dangerous person to do that for? Easily, easily. I'm on the record as not being a big fan of cue as a character. I really like John the Lansi. Yeah, me too. The guy that plays him, but I just never like Q episodes. So this would be a time when I'd be tempted to invoke a veto on even watching this, but... Oh, wow. I don't know, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:32:19 I don't know. I sort of as a rule want to watch Riker Centric episodes. I think they afford us a great opportunity for humor. Yeah. And so I do actually want to see this episode. An episode that describes the Riker character so paint by numbers the color is practically dripping off the screen. And if you're talking about Riker, there's a lot of dripping going on, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure the first thing he does with his newfound powers is give himself
Starting point is 00:32:49 a whiffleball bat in the pants. You know, like if you have access to the holodeck, are the Q powers a little bit disappointing? I guess we'll find out. All right, I think that about all we have for this episode of the greatest generation. I've been one of your hosts, Adam Pranika. I've been your other host, Ben Harrison.
Starting point is 00:33:13 If you want to, you can chat us up on the Twitters using the hashtag greatest gen. Yeah, don't confuse our use of the hashtag greatest gen with all of the people mourning the death of their grandfather who fought in World War II.
