Oh, right. Good morning! Good morning! Great morning! Hi! Hello! Welcome! To another episode of yet another Star Trek podcast, where the only podcast you're gonna find out that three best friends you've ever seen. Talk about old episodes of Star Trek and new episodes too. My name is Machina. I'm joined as always by my two cohorts. The first guy here needs more rest and relaxation than Captain Kirk.

Hi Drew, hey. I too have shoreleave coming up in four days, three days. Well time has no meaning anymore, but yeah, like three days, I'm on Charly. Time is a man-made construct, and you don't have to follow it. Okay. Speaking of time being a man-made construct, the only person I can break the space time continuum regularly. Brad, hey buddy.

I see what you did there. Well, well, well, position, sir. Good morning, good day. Good afternoon. How you where you did there. Well, well, well, position sir. Good morning, good day. Good afternoon. How you doing? Good morning. No, not afternoon. Oh wait, and we just literally said

that time has no meaning. Yeah. So yeah, no, no, I get that. I'm gonna do my best to give you guys energy because I know like right now drew, I see nothing behind his eyes. Like, it's nothing there. There's a level of hollowness that's like,

I'm here, but I'm not really. Yeah, there's nothing there. Oh man, that is so accurate. I, it's just, it's just dark. I had a fairly decent night's rest yesterday, but the prior two days combined, four hours. You know what's not healthy? Everything you just described to me.

Yeah. Look, insomnia, when it happens, it happens, and there's not much I can do about it. So if anybody has any suggestions, any of the listeners, please drop me a note. Let me know. I would be grateful because I've been taking vitamin D, trying to counteract these overnight blues. And I even got one of those lamps like, lamps that you put, um, next to the desk that, like, have like a sunrise and a sunset.

I have that next to my bed. It's not terrible. Have you gone with the blackout shades yet? I have blackout shades and blackout curtains. Well, I got nothing. I also have two cats. I have two cats that are so loud and obnoxious that even earplugs do not stop them.

I have an idea. You may not like it, but we'll see. Okay, what you can always do is pump some carbon dioxide into your room just a little bit until you fall asleep. I'm sorry, we'll cover monoxide, not dioxide, into your room just a little bit until you fall asleep. I'm sorry, with carbon monoxide, not dioxide, carbon monoxide. Like hook up, like start your car and maybe run a hose from your car into your bedroom and then leave it out for me to go.

Hey, hey, Mijidz. How about you try it first in Telsaikos? Yeah, there's a lot of questions I have about this plan anyway like for example Gas money Well, yeah, gas is expensive Also like who's gonna shut it off once I fall asleep Well, right, right, right? So that's just suicide Hmm, okay

All right, well maybe don't do that plan just yet until we figure out the logistics. Mejito, are you trying to talk true into committing suicide? I didn't hear you come up with any ideas, Brad. I did. And I said, well, I got nothing else. Okay, I didn't hear you come up with any good ideas, Brad.

So what you're saying is that your idea is a good idea. Listen, there are no such things with good ideas when we were brainstorming, all right? That's the whole thing my brain's starving. I don't know if it works that way, but okay. Yeah. Anyway, you need some rest of your relaxation, Jura. Hope you get it.

Thank you. You know who else needed some rest of your relaxation, Jura, hope you get it. Thank you. You know who else needed some rest of your relaxation? The crew of the Enterprise. Oh, nice segue. Love you. Thank you. This week, we joined the crew of the Enterprise as they explore a newfound plan for the long-awaited short-lived, which is also the title of the episode. Nice breath.

McCoy and several others survey the plan to confirm if it's a good plan for rest and relaxation. However, this becomes questionable when McCoy meets characters from Alice in Wonderland. After hearing a bizarre report from McCoy about a large rabbit complaining that he was late, Kirk and Yomin Barrow beam down to the plant. After talking to McCoy and pining an oversized rabbit footprint, Kirk puts a hold on shortly for the rest of the crew. Things started to get more odd when Sulu finds a gun and begins to fire it.

Yes, because that's what you do. When you find a gun, you start firing it. And so basically, this is again another opportunity for reference. Sulu's like, anyway, so I started blasting. She brats us't get that reference See for me like you know, he's just making that face as he was shooting the gun and all I can think of is Roberto with his knife gun I was thinking was was Frank from it's always sunny. He's just anyway. I started blast it. Yeah, no, I mean

That one's great too I'm glad you went there. We get our get right is like this covered between the two shows So right very bad is like I hate you both. I don't know. I don't get these references But Brad I don't know what references you would get Everything else time travel that's travel. That's untrue. Oh, time travel, right? Sure. So the away team continue to see more and more strange events.

A man named Finnegan fights Kirk. Don Juan goes at the young and Barros. And eventually a mysterious woman named Ruth comes to Kirk. McCoy attempts to charm the lovely Barros as they walk together. they find Princess clothing. He encourages her to wear the clothing. Nothing creepy here, by the way. He's like, it's cool.

I'm a doctor. You can just go ahead and get a dress. But I'm not gonna look. But I'm not gonna look. Wink, wink, wink. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. Let me get my camera out. Two other crewmen are stuck in a very dangerous situation where it's hiker stocks them.

At some point, Sulu fights a samurai. A Japanese zero fighter. Sorry, I'm sorry, this is the funniest part of the episode for me because this is these random, random curvances. A Japanese zero fighter aircraft chases after some crew members who were hiding from the tiger. One was apparently gunned down. McCoy is stabbed in a chest by a knight and killed. This fitting guy keeps showing up in Toss Kirk. In a scene that echoes what you'd expect in a live action

like he charms Kirk. Kirk chases Finnegan looking for his secrets. Finnegan's like, do I know, do I look like I know what's going on? And true, he's just really, you know, he's one of those guys that gets drunk and wants to fight everyone. Either way, the two get into like a four-minute fight sequence and it solves nothing. It solves nothing.

I counted to that. I was like, how long is this going on for? It was actually four minutes long. Yeah, it was about like five minutes. Oh my God. By the way, I think a lot of this was improvised at the end because some of it was well choreographed and then all of a sudden Kirk's shirt is ripped. I'm not sure if you guys caught that.

There was no reason for your shirt to be ripped. I wanna know if they just reuse the same ripped shirt every time they rip a shirt. I do think that they reuse the same location. Oh, they do. How are they gonna do that? Yeah. So I remember some of the memes you would see

from the upcoming episode arena, where Kirk fights a gun. I think that's the same location. It is, yeah. Which is apparently California desert. Yeah, it's a it's a famous shooting location. It's called Vasequez Rocks. It's one of those spots.

But he does. It's one of those places that once you're aware of its existence, you see it in everything. Just like Toronto doubling for New York. What? Or Vancouver doubling for New York. You didn't know that? Yeah, a lot of the shows that kind of like that. I mean, it's a little more obvious because it's the same for rock formations. Yeah, I mean, it's a little more obvious because it's the same for rock formations. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Vasquez Rocks has some very distinct rock formations. And it's like, you know,

how you buy a new car and then all of a sudden you see that same model of car everywhere. But you never noticed it before. It's kind of the same thing. Yeah, just like when you meet a guy named Brad and then you see this guy named Brad all over the place. Oh, precisely. That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's the thing. That's a reference Brad got. Time travel. Eventually, some guy shows up and explains that the whole plan is some type of fantasy island that makes everyone's wishes come through. Turns out McCoy is fine and unharmed. Comes out of nowhere, is like, surprise. I'm not going to say it because you know it's a meme. If I say it true, can you just like, bleep me out?

I hope it depends on how good it is. He's like a... It's a rosmolo! Tsk! Hahaha! All right, that's good. I feel better now. I posted that meme or that gift for you guys last night.

I gave you live reactions. I watched the episode. It was one of them. However, there was no mention of the other leader that was killed. But I'm sure she's fine. Was she wearing a Richard? The other one that was killed? No, I think it was yellow.

Oh, well, she's probably fine. Probably fine. Kirk makes a decision to let the crew enjoy the planet and everyone had a good time. To some of this episode, Kirk wishes Spock would just give him back rope. Kirk goes to Pound Town on Finnegan. And in an episode that answers the question,

if sci-fi-rotters did acid, what would they write about? I'm pretty sure it would be this episode. It would be this episode. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I listen, I, I, I was laughing so hard at this episode. I even read this synopsis back when Brad's like, yeah, you know, Kirk just wishes, Bach would give him a back rub. How long did I laugh? I'd be laughing for a good 30, 30 seconds. Oh, yeah, we missed out on some deep laughing. That's why I can't read this analysis that Brad writes until we're recording.

It's just a genuine reaction. Oh, man. But gentlemen, what do you guys think of the episode? What happened? Where do you guys think of the episode? What happened? Where do you even begin? Well, we can begin. How about we begin with the parallels to fantasy island? So, I've never seen an episode of fantasy island, so my entire scope of knowledge of it is the fact that it has Kahn in it. And who are we're going to meet in a few episodes. We are. And the guy that

yields the plane the plane. Me, me. No, but he is. I know you're talking about. He is a shorter fella. So tell, like, what is like the gist of fantasy island is just like it's magical people come and their wildest fantasies coming true. The two guys wear a suit on the pier and say welcome to fontos the island. Right. So is it basically like what happened in this episode or like is there like an army of people that make those dreams come true for them?

It's kind of never so like You never saw it and yet you're talking about it. Okay. That's because fantasy island is one of those things that just it's it's hard coded And it looks a kind of pop culture. So the reference of it, I think is hard coded in and like I'm familiar with it But only a curs cursory. So I don't know how much of it is actually a fantasy. Like I don't know if it's like conjured up by, you know, a magician or like how that works. It's kind of it's kind of like the magician aspect of things, but it's my it's not as. It's it's like a natural thing in this sense of like, oh, nobody questions it. It's fine. It's supposed to happen that way. Understood. Okay. Just like nobody questioned how the enterprise went back in time three days. Precisely. You accepted. I never accepted it. You guys made me accept it.

Sure. Sorry. No, no. It's a disaster. Very good. Very true. There was, there were so many different things about this episode. When the plane was chasing Kurt Spock, I fully expected a shot for shot reference from North by Northwest. Where it was the Albert Hitchcock movie. And Drew, I think you probably know this because you were into film. Don't know.

I know. I don't know where it was. It's two characters in a cornfield or a field. It's a one character. Is one character running from a place? And the plane is chasing them down. Yes, it's a crop testing plane. It might be one of those things that I've seen,

but I'm not familiar with the context. You've totally seen reference. Oh, you've totally seen it. OK. Alfred Hitchcock did that, and people have imitated it. Understood. Okay. So you've seen it just a matter of, uh, did you have you seen when did you see the movie? North by Northwest. No, I just know the reference. It's just, again,

it's one of those things that just another thing. It's hard. It's hard coded into the list, the kind of of modern. He went to Disney World and that magic movie ride he went on that and saw the screen clip from that and they's like, all right. I know the movie now So I love that you think that I have enough money to go to Disneyland I'm broke. We don't get sponsored by this yet. I Wish I mean technically the ride is closed now. So it would have had to been like 10 years ago before you had a kid. Yeah. You know, it's a my daughter's 11, right?

You know, I'll I'll I'll stay in by my word 10 years ago. I think I think Brad's looking for Demaric I'm not gonna get I'm not gonna give him what he's looking for He wants a Demarit He's all clean shaving today. I love it. Mm-hmm This this episode again just just just so weird so So lighthearted. Right? I wanna start with one thing,

is that I was very disappointed that I didn't see more Alice in Wonderland. Yeah, they went through a lot of trouble to make that bunny suit to use it for like two minutes. Yep. Is it weird that I thought that the bunny was gonna use the gun? No, I did too.

I thought the bunny was gonna murder them all. Missed opportunity. That is a horror movie I would want to watch. Horror movie, that wouldn't be a horror movie. You see that they have a Winnie the Pooh horror movie? I did. What? You see that they have a Winnie the Pooh horror movie. I did What Yeah

Winnie the is it produced by Disney now Winnie the Pooh is public domain now My god, just like Brian so the first movie that's been announced is like a legit horror movie It looks absurd legit horror movie. It looks absurd. It's yeah. I hope there's a post credits scene where Mickey Mouse shows up and, oh, I'm gonna murder everybody. I don't think Mickey's gotten public domain yet. No, I think I think I thought it was.

I thought Disney was going to lose rights to, I think we keep like extending that crap. Oh, yes. I think it's like 125 years now at this point. Whatever. We can always put you at the end of the movie Brad. Yeah, I know. I think I found I found this episode like overall very humorous, lighthearted, despite certain characters getting killed. Um, despite certain characters getting killed. Yeah, I thought, um, I thought when Spock beamed down, by the way, I thought he was fake.

I thought there's going to be a big twist that the Spock character was somebody that they made up. That, that is a fantasy Spock. Yeah. Yeah. Up until the end, I'm like, that's not a real Spock. Shoot him. That's not a real Spock. So, so you don't like Sp you want him to die? I thought that that was a fake spot and Only way to test that theory was for them to use that gun

Interesting Let me how else do you do it? By the way, I was an unfair fight with the the javelin night getting shot. I was on fair. Yeah, but what you think, what you think of the javelin's night reveal being like some sort of puppet type thing. Hey, mannequin. mannequin, whatever.

That was weird. I know, I know. It would have been better for me if that was just empty. Like, was it empty stood of armor? Yeah. I was kind of agreeing with that. I was hoping for more emptiness. Well, you can...

I was hoping for more emptiness. There are plenty of episodes in this series that can offer you more emptiness. Just, you know, I can always hope. Brad, are you depressed? If you want emptiness just look in Drew's eyes. Yeah. That's a bad feeling.

That's a bad feeling. I feel so bad about that. Wow, that's a real bad feeling. I feel so bad about it. That's a jam. I feel so bad. I'm sorry Drew. That's a bad feeling.

It's accurate. It's so accurate. Oh my God. I'm sorry, Drew. I'm not a piece. It's accurate. It's so accurate. Oh my God. So this form in a fight scene with Finnegan and Kirk, it was pretty good. It was pretty well-corded by the way you know those hits that finnig in we're taking I just you know what I'm reminding you

of it just it was like the actors showed up to set one day and just started beating the crap out of Kirk everybody line up and take a swing and they just kept filming and they didn't stop filming. Oh man, that would be funny. Yeah, I mean, like the fight was fine. I don't really have a ton to say about this episode, honestly. The episode was a power funger. Yeah, okay, I'll give you that.

Like, and I think coming off of, balance of terror, you know, it probably wasn't a terrible idea to have something that was a little bit more lighthearted, but they just like dragged this out for about 20 minutes longer than it needed to. Yeah, you know, it's funny I was watching this and I was thinking this episode is enjoyable, but it could have ended a half an hour earlier.

Yeah, I would agree with that 100%. It's funny, I'm going to start bashing this episode now, but I really enjoyed it. But there was really no plot context where it was just, hey, we're trying to find a place to do shoreleaf. And all this random crazy crap is happening. So I think they could have like, they could have like really like leaned into that too. Not the crazy stuff, but like, you know, trying to find a place to go for shoreleaf and cook struggles and everything. And I know that wasn't the type of episode they were trying to tell, but I felt like there was a missed opportunity with some of that, you know, like this could have been something that was unique.

They did do some of those things in the beginning where it was a spot comes to Kirk and it's like, oh, we have a, a crew member who, you know, is showing irritation and all this other stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he's like, oh, he curts like, yeah, that man needs to go to Shoreleave. And he's like, who is he? Oh, his name is James Kirk. Yeah, I was out of luck. I thought luck was.

I was, that was cheesy. I enjoyed that though. Yeah. Like, to me, it was, I was hoping that would be more the episode of being like, hey, Kirk, you really need to take Shoreleave. And then, you know, what it would have been nice is if he did take short leave

and then went on some sort of like adventure rather than having so random, because it would have been like the lesion kingdom kind of thing. Sure, yeah. Like if they had done something like that where it was just a full on journey, that would have made a lot more sense. Even though there's so so much randomness, they could at least still have some sort of plot line.

Some path. It's kind of like they took all the non-sequitors out of an episode of Family Guy and just put them in one hour long episode of Star Trek. Oh my god, the cutaways? That's accurate. Yeah. Yeah. Star Trek. Oh my god. The cutaways? That's accurate. Yeah. Yeah. The um, so in a writer's room, if this, you know, follow the tradition of, of, of, of a traditional writer's room, then there are, there's a board, an idea board. And writers will just eventually, or once a while, shoot out something ridiculous. And they'll put it on a post it, no, it'll go on the wall. And they'll try to, at some point, work these ridiculous ideas into an episode. Now, it's very well possible that they just looked at the board and said, let's just take all this crazy crap and put it into an episode. They had all these stupid ideas, and they said, we're gonna put it into an episode. We're gonna wrap it in this short leave thing.

Yeah, I think, you know, each of these individual elements in themselves, I think could have been developed into some pretty interesting stories. And if they had paired it down to maybe two, three people tops, I think we could have had something, you know, a little bit more substantial. You know, like the, the, the Alesson wonderland thing, like, I was pretty interested in that.

We never saw it again. That was, that was a little disappointing. Or, you know, Sulu finding the gun. Well, where did the gun come from? Who did it belong to, you know? I remember the gun reveal where it was like a rock just randomly starts opening up. Yeah, how did that happen? Did Sulu just like start like opening up rocks? Did he just go up to every single rock? Is like anything underneath there? No, the rock opened itself up.

Not Dwayne Johnson, the actual like the Boulder. It latched up. Yeah, latched up. Okay. So like a clam. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much. But where was, uh, where was car keeping that gun? Uh, his pants. Yeah, that's going to be one of those, uh, things that, uh, you know, don't ask don't tell, I guess. things that don't ask don't tell, I guess. So this episode aired in 1966, December 29th, 1966.

The very first episode of Fantasy Island was released in 1977. Interesting. January 14th, 1977 on ABC. So this episode predates Fantasy Island. So what you're saying is this inspired fantasy island? You're already here for us folks, yes, definitely do. Without question. Let's go ahead and change the the Wikipedia page to that right now on. I got this. Right, because I think what Star Trek is owned by CBS, right? So it would have aired on CBS, okay? Well, now the original series was owned by NBC at the time. at the time. So it's a whole thing. There's like, I don't I don't know the specifics of how it came under the ownership of CBS and Paramount, but it originally aired on NBC. Apparently, there's a remake of the series, which is I can, it, yeah, it's a sequel to

movie. I horror prequel. I filmed that patient of what Fantasy Island. Oh Yeah, that was stupid. Oh, no, it has my co-pany in it My co-pany is to make bad movies. I Repeat it was a stupid Maggie Q. She's great Lucy Hale, though no, her. Jeff Wadlow.

Bad movie. Jeff Wadlow directed it. We can, I really feel like we're just grasping a straws for time. Hang on, hang on, hang on, no, no, hang on, no. Jeff, no, Jeff Wadlow, oh no, he's not great director. He's one I did for the last time. Sorry, I'm not grasping for Shraws,

but I think that if we're going to make the parallels to Fantasy Island, I at least want to see this movie now, because it has Michael Payne in it. Fair. Yeah, but I mean like to Brad's point though, there's really not a lot of substance to this. The episode has a bunch of like weird things happening. And then it's magically explained in the last 10 minutes. And everybody's cool with it. Yep, that full fist fight with between Kirk and Finn again, perfectly normal.

Yeah, and then this elderly man comes out and he's like, hey, so, you know, this is just a playground. You're not going to die. It's cool. And Kirk's just like, oh. All right, that makes sense. That makes perfectly logical sense. We're going to be in our crew down.

That was no. Like, no. Also that group laugh at the end when Spock is asking, well, did you guys have fun? Spock, Kirklic's and McCoy's like, yeah, we had fun. And they get to laugh together. Yeah. I expected the free-stream, you You know when everybody in the bridge jumping up

in the air with arms raised, you got the cheesy 80s music playing. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what it felt like. You know what, yeah, that fight scene though, went on for four and a half minutes or four minutes. A killing time.

Definitely. Right, it was. Um, definitely we are. Right. It was it was it was killing time just like we are. Um, which is fine. You know, you know, you know, who has the the best freeze frames in all the TV shows? No, no, I'm I'm waiting for you to tell me I'm I did. Um, it's a police squad Have you have you ever seen that no, I haven't you seen you've heard of the naked gun right? Oh, yeah so so naked gun is is a

movie based around the TV show called police squad. Yeah, okay So does the TV show have Leslie Nielsen in it too? Yeah, yeah, Leslie Nielsen, like a bunch of the, I think there's a bunch of the other original characters, minus OJ Simpson. But in the end of their freeze frames, it wasn't them actually freezing. They just kept rolling the film and nobody moved while they're in the middle of doing things. And so you see a guy pouring a cup of coffee and the coffee just keeps pouring and it starts overflowing.

So you know, the, these are making fun of freeze frames. I like it. I love that Brad just made a reference that neither drew. I just got the listeners will get trust me. That one listener will get it. It'll be like, Oh man, Brad is right. Frank says I love it. Frank says not count.

I'm pretty sure Frank says and seen it. Uh, Frank says scene gifts. Unread it. And I'm certain it's been a gift on Reddit. Yeah. But, um, you know, actually, let's, let's, let's, uh, ask Frank's when we get a moment. We can find out if he's seen it. Maybe. Um, it would be like a month before this air. So we have time.

Yeah. Um, so let's, uh, just randomly ask him today, be like, Hey, have you seen this? This is going to pay off a few weeks. Yeah. Just you wait. Um, let's hop into the, uh, to the reviews. Guys, yeah, let's get to it. I got nothing on this one.

Drew, shortest episode ever. It really is. I'm looking at the time here and it's going to be an easy edit, but you don't play a drinking game. It's a giltsame. No. It is because it's eight in the morning. Well, I mean, for me, like, I have to go to bed when we're done.

So if anybody is okay to drink at this hour and have it be socially acceptable, it's probably me. Oh, I've done that. I worked the overnight shift and I would get out like 730 and I would get home for like, well actually, I would get out, yeah, 730 and I would get home for like 930 or 9.

And I would be like, I'm cracking a cold one. If this one good thing about working these hours is that my drinking has reduced significantly, because it just doesn't feel right opening a beer at this hour to me, especially considering like, I'm usually I'm already in bed by 8 o'clock. So, A. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, so, boy, what an episode. This thing is nonsense. This is absolute nonsense. Fun.

I liked the idea of it. I liked that they were trying to be creative. But there wasn't enough behind it. It was just a series of ridiculous events in a nonsense land with no payoff. I struggled to pay attention to this episode while it was on. I was multitasking and doing like three other things at the same time. And they were infinitely more engaging than anything that happened on the screen during the 60 minutes that I watched this.

Not the worst thing I've ever seen, but far from the best and a steep drop from Bounce Terror. I'm giving this a four. Wow. A four. It's a low. It's a low score there, man. Oof, man.

Ooh, Brad. All right, it's up to you, buddy. Let's see if you can bring the average up. So I understand where Drew's coming from. As our loyal listeners can hear from our frustrating voices, nothing really happened in this episode. Yeah. It's one of those fluff episodes where things

happen but nothing actually matters because it's a full on reset at the end of the episode. However, with that said, overall I did enjoy the episode. It was very lighthearted. Super silly. I'm actually out of seven with this one. Wow, okay, I love it. All right, great, so Brad brought the average up. I'm gonna go ahead and give this thing an eight. Ooh, actually non joking, I give it a seven as well.

This episode gives you... it makes you experience acid without doing acid. I'm gonna use, you ever want to experience what it is? Be on Asset, you just watched the episode. You know, I, I, I, I, I, I loved it. Again, this is the second one of my wife has sat down and watched with me. Oh, God, this is a bad one to hook her on the show. No, well, she sat down, she watched,

balance of terror with me last week. Not last week. What am I talking about last week? It was two days ago, right? Two of terror with me last week. Uh-huh. Not last week. What am I talking about last week? It was two days ago, right? Two days ago. Two days ago. Two days ago. She sat down and watched balance of terror with me.

She watched all of strange new worlds, by the way. She's nice. I'm not sure if she loves the show or Pike's hair. Pike's peak. Pike's peak. Zadi Pike's peak. But no, yeah, she watches these. I'm not sure how long we can keep this trend up. But, you know, yeah, she watched it with me. And give it a seven. I listen, but I have some LOL moments. And then, you know, directly pull out

gifts. The surprise mother, gift. What else was there that I kind of pulled out? Oh, the Dr. Evil group laugh at the end. Where, you know, Kirk is looking to McCoy like, yeah, we had fun, didn't we, McCoy? Yeah. I don't know, but these things holograms are managed. Right. It's because I'm pretty sure you all had sexual intercourse with with these mannequins on the island. I don't want to go into this conversation. Whatever.

I actually, as silly as it was, I actually enjoyed that four minute fight sequence with Finnegan. It was the best part, which is so freaking hilarious. What was Finnegan calling That was the best part. Which is so freaking hilarious. What was Finnegan calling him? Jimmy Boy? Yeah, I think that was it. Yeah. There's also a good chance we can see Finnegan in Shrink's new worlds. I think it's crossed.

If we're going to meet him, Kirk. I hope not. I would rather see Mud again. You know what I see Mud. Finnegan is the epitome of an Irish last name, so he has to act Irish, right? Like, that's pretty accurate. Like, it's like, hey, his name is Finnegan,

so he has to be stereotypical Irishman, meaning he talks with an accent, likes to drink, and likes to fight. And he walks around with his fists up. So he's shrek? I sure. I broke me back. Oh, I meet Lucky Charms.

That was offensive. Is that offensive? Comparing it to Lucky Charms? I mean, Shrek is pretty offensive. Shrek is offensive? I don't know. Oh, okay, good. I don't wanna get canceled.

So young to get canceled. All right, well, gentlemen, is anything any final thoughts on the episode? No. Drew, you didn't move there for a second. I thought my connection froze. My brain froze. That's what acid does to you.

All right, I think I'm good. All right, so this is it. This is what we got for today. I tried to get blood from a stone and make it this episode longer, but clearly I can't do that. Next week, we'll be watching the Galileo 7, which is the 29th episode overall that we've recorded or will be recording, so I'm looking forward to seeing you all again.
