Episode 330 - Stop Texting My Daughter

Joel is filling in for Buck this week, and we're talking about some stuff that may get us removed from Youtube, mostly...

- Democracy
- Unprofessional Development

We live in a world of dolts, dummies, and the easily programmed. It is due to this democracy has failed us, even you reading this now. Do you research what you're voting for? Of course not, it's not worth you time. To wade through the cesspool of media obfuscation to get to the truth of a candidate or issue is a full time job in its own. Except instead of getting a paycheck you just walk around with the cognitive dissonance of simultaneously being a smug elitist better than everyone else, but also you're a loser because you're always fighting for the next battle.

Conferences are supposed to be a time for you to network with people in your industry, brush up on the latest developments, and hopefully leave a little better than you arrived. Not anymore, now you just get around and powwow about how miserable your life is because all of the victim points you've accrued. New technology, unimportant, updates to standards and practices, unnecessary, a cash bar every 30 feet, indispensable. 

All that plus Fish News, AI manipulating real humans, and someone leaves us a vaguely threatening voicemail.

Episode 329 - In-don't

Welcome back HWIDG fans and non-fans alike. In order to listen to this episode we need to collect some personal data. First off how would you respond in the following situations?

- Guessing the Killer Too Early
- Recruitment Portals

In whodunits the fun is trying to guess which person commited the crime, that's where they came up with the term. There's a fine balance between making it too clear, and making it too easy. Creating a twist ending by revealing the murderer is a person that we never saw before in the movie who had man hands when he killed Kevin Bacon, but in the finale is a 78 year old woman who weighs 125 soaking wet isn't satisfying. Also unsatisfying, when you figure out it was Colonel Green in the Conservatory, with the craptastic script. Do a better job hollywood.

Employers need employees, people need jobs. What if we created a company where employers listed jobs, people applied for jobs, and we got in the middle and messed the whole thing up beyond recognition. We can do all that petty profiling for you, and for the people applying for jobs, we can flood your inbox full of crappy jobs that don't fit you at all. It's a lose lose win! Because we got out cut.

All of that plus a zebra, what is a chicken nugget, and Tab finally learns how to work an air compressor.

Episode 328 - Ghost B.O.

Tim is back from another whirlwind adventure in the southwest. He's rootin and tootin, and about to take a shot, oh no the target somehow sensed that the shot happened and jumped 20 feet to the right...

- When Bandits Jump 20 Feet
- The Cattle Call
- Premature Praise

We live in a world of empty vessels. People who have nothing happening inside their heads. They need to be herded like animals into chutes and lanes. Meanwhile those of us sitting at greater than 101 are trapped by their hustle and bustle in abject despair at the state of humanity around us. Imagine a world where all the loud speakers and shouting can be over, and dumb questions need not be asked, for the people around you are intelligent beings that can read the colorful sign and understand the information.

Would you rate a restaurant 5 stars after they took your, order without eating the food or even receiving a drink? Would you recommend a mechanic after seeing the sign? The world of internet media these days is much like the slog of news before it. Everything has to happen NOW! No time to wait, those mouth breathers need their content! So let's review a single episode of a series, and give it a stunning thumbs up despite the pile of diarrhea it's wading out of. It is completely mind boggling.

All of that plus song lyrics, and a death bed curse.

Episode 327 - Quid Pro Quo

El Chaco is calling in once again, and it's time to discuss the ongoing war! That's right the War between original Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew Code Red. So pick your colors and get ready to join the frontlines of

Cultural Vandalism
Mandatory Workplace Harassment Training

We've seen now year after year the slow destruction of our culture. From the homogenization of design, the erasure of certain hair colors in media, and the constant need for reboots and remakes that fly in the face of the original. To the before times, of revisionist architecture and history, manipulated narratives about certain political parties just deciding to be the other party. Our culture has become so embattled that you dare not have your favorite property adapted into a new medium because what comes out the other side is going to closer resemble Seth Brundle before Geena Davis ends his misery.

Workplaces are supposed to be a place of, you guessed it, work. Long ago it was a semi social place, where perhaps you went out for dinner or drinks after work. Maybe you met a person you wanted to get to know better. However in the current state of the world of teaching certain groups they should literally have it all, while other groups need to be supportive, but not too supportive, but also don't retreat because all of those things are bad. Enter HR a bastion of derailing productive people since the first group of worthless individuals got together and said, what if we just made a department for workplace gossip. So here we are sitting in hours long trainings where you learn nothing, but at least they get to deflect any liability when you get reported for complimenting the pretty girl in the next cubicle for literally ANYTHING! (Also not complimenting her.)

All that plus a steal of a deal on prostitutes, fish news, and Andy reads an announcement from yesteryear.

Episode 326 - Don't Grate it in the Grindah

Buck is back in action he's riling up ghosts, ghouls, and demons and he's opening a can of Mountain Dew Code Red on...

Mandatory Overblown Cutesy BS Work Meetings
Entitlement

These days everything is Mandatory, they add that tag onto things as if the everything else at your job is optional. Hey did you do your Mandatory Clocking in on time? What about your Mandatory doing your job? Hey have you had your Mandatory break? No, WE DON'T CARE! What we do care about it pretending your opinion matters to the people thousands of miles away that have no idea what your division actually does. So we're going to waste a ton of productivity to do nothing, it's a good thing we slapped the word Mandatory on this, because if we caught you standing around doing nothing on the clock discussing why your workplace sucks, you'd be fired.

Speaking of getting fired, you are not entitled to a job. There is no basic human right for employment. You're not entitled to the services of others, if I don't want to bake you a cake I don't have to. You're not entitled to my protection. Most importantly though, you're not entitled to my knowledge. Just because I have the answer to a question doesn't mean I have to give it to you, and the more you use and abuse me the less likely you are to receive my favor. It's a lovely notion that we're all in this together and the rising tide rises all ships, but when one group uses your togetherness to claim personal excellence, and when the tide rises they guzzle it down leaving everyone else high and dry. You're not getting a drop from me anymore.

All that plus, new science, wrong numbers, and a new place leak classified secrets.

Episode 325 - One's Trial

Tony is back again this week. He's got a big disney hate boner going and we're talking about.

- Geriatric Action Stars
- Algorithmic Content

These days it seems there's hardly anyone in that 30-80 bracket that is breaking in to new action star roles. No instead we just keep trotting out old men in front of the audience so boomers can feel like their heroes from adulthood are just like them, unwilling to retire and allow younger more competent people to take their places. Indiana Jones saved the world from Nazis until he was 80, why should I retire from my cushy office job where I've lost touch with what the company actually does?

Decades ago media was controlled by a cabal of out of touch Forgotten Generation hacks who only liked what they liked and were unwilling to try something new. Non-existent Nielsen houses where the knob broke off the TV 5 years earlier were the metric used to cancel or promote a TV show. Then the internet came along, and suddenly anyone could make content, and it could reach people who liked that kind of content. A new tube was born, a tube for sending you things you already like. A youtube. The cabal was upset. Rather than taking the L, they weaseled into the corporate structures of the internet, but they wouldn't live forever. No they needed to somehow ruin media for generations to come, and so they created an algorithm. And rather than fight back youtubers just started making content for the algorithm. So now we have millions of videos where people talk on a set about nothing for an hour, and dumber people shovel it into their faces.

All that plus, Seinfeld's Law, a staged reading, and much more!

Episode 324 - Platinum Plus Preferred

Tim is back from the hell of the lone star state and we're talking about,

Loyalty Programs
Fanbaiting

Are you earning points in the app today? What about your loyalty card? Do you want to share your email for coupons and exclusive deals? All of this nonsense to save a buck, to pretend that your miserable experience is somehow heightened from the misery it actually entails. But hey if you earn enough points, maybe next time it will be free.

In this world of cultural deforestation we currently live in it's not enough for talentless hacks like Mindy Kaling to remake beloved franchises. No the original must also be destroyed. They pretend to honor it, they trot out James Cameron to be "involved" with the new Terminator, or they get Bill Murray to sleep walk through a cameo in the latest Ghostbusters. All to get you the fan to get excited and talk about it.

All that plus more knock off voicemailers, Tim reads the news, and Tab inspires the next generation.

Episode 323 - It's All In Your Head

Tab is at the end of his rope this week, so he called in the old guard to cover the episode. Buck and Chaco are back in form for a rip roaring episode that absolutely won’t get us banned from the internet, and they’re talking about

- Brainwave Fuckery
- Mistaken Unprofessionalism

The age of AI has begun and rather than train it to be better, they’re simply training us to be dumber. Now everything around us it seems is programmed to make us conform to the new “standards” from subtly changing our language to triggering mass panic buys of Toilet Paper and now eggs. The signs are every where to make you want to be like the crowd, and while I don’t believe in it, I do believe that the people doing it believe in the devil and are doing it to serve that master.

Often in the workplace a certain group, we’ll call them women, make way more out of something than is necessary. Rather than consider the logical thought of, “I must have typed in the wrong number.” It’s far easier to trash a stranger for their outgoing voice message. Are you dumb, stupid, or dumb? Huh? It’s this same group that when I tell them a person, or a piece of equipment has no business in theatre, they claim a lack of professionalism. If I lacked professionalism I’d call it every curse word I know, and then tell it to go purchase Canadian Healthcare.

All of that plus a new Amnesty, the death of humpday, and a modern retelling of a classic tale.

Episode 322 - Blank Inside

Tim is squeezing us in before he heads to hell itself in San Antonio, so he's ringing us out with what might be his final issue.

Blank Space
Therapy Advocates

Design is like pretty much all artistic works these days, it's design by committee, zero risk, control the flow of info, and lesser than the works that came before. So now we get big blocks of color, or white, for no reason other than to fill space that they can't fill with info. If you get too much info you might start asking questions and if you ask too many questions the Clintons may have something to say to you.

In the American Documentary Series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" they show us a world where a therapist is on the bridge of a major space naval vessel. Namely, they don't blow up enough stuff. The follow up series "Star Trek: Voyager" there is no therapist on the bridge, nay in the ship at all. And on that show they murdered Tuvix like badasses. If only they had the guts to do it to Neelix as well. Oh well.

All that plus the worst McDonald's in the world, voicemail beef continues, and children that can't just shut up while they are at work.

Episode 321 - Eventually Right

Welcome back fans to this extra beefy episode of HWIDG. El Chaco is on the loose and we're talking about some minor annoyances,

Conspiracy Haters
Water Conservationists

A lot of conspiracy theories are bunk, some seem unrealistic but then get proven later, others are obvious truths that we're misled to believe are false. In any case why is it that people hate those who espouse conspiracy theories? If you friend doesn't believe that the moon landing is real, why do you care? Just let them be stupid, if you have a problem with them don't hang out with them anymore. The Truth doesn't need to be defended through censorship, it's like a weed eventually it will find the sunlight through the piles of manure.

And speaking of conspiracies, here's a major one. You a regular human being living in a district serviced by a municipal water authority need to do less laundry, you need to not flush your toilet, you shouldn't have a garden, you need to turn off the water when you wash brush your teeth, and use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands all the time. There's a drought in Ghana, or some other far away land that man was not meant to live in. The reality is they just want you dead if you won't live in the pod or eat the bugs.

All of that plus someone really saving water by being a stinky cave troll, fooling the Vatican, and your voicemails.

Episode 320 - Save Game

Tab didn't plan well so we threw this episode together last minute. The joke is on us because Streamyard decided it didn't need to record Tab or the Sound Board for the second half of the episode. So instead we've got the processed straight youtube feed to deal with while we complain about...

Unresolved Glitches
Above and Beyond as the Expectation

Fallout 4 was released in 2015, the last update for the game was released in 2016. I guess everything was totally fixed by that point and it's not a glitch infested nightmare. Oh wait it is. How is it that these giant studios keep getting away with this kind of shoddy craftsmanship? If Fallout 4 was a car, on launch day it would have had square tires, a go kart engine, and none of the doors would open properly. A year later you finally have round wheels, and an engine that can drive the car along, but the doors still don't open sometimes. The factory just doesn't care. I hate them and I hope they collapse.

When you go to a massage parlor and they give you an over the pants handy, that deserves a tip. When you go to Patty the Daytime Hooker for an over the pants handy that's literally what you've paid for. Now for this issue I get hyper specific to my circumstances, but we see this all the time. Businesses expect employees to go that extra mile all the time. If you're doing it all the time, it's not an extra mile, it's the expectation. And if you expect it to happen that bases the decisions you make. Sure we can order this amazon package and expect it in less than 2 days, they always go the extra mile. Sure we can rely on Batman and Robin to help stop crime, we still need the regular cops. Then one day it's just Batman and he's running a fascist dictatorship with flying robot Batmans, or Mutant Gangbanger Batmans. Is that what you want?

All that plus someone loses something precious to him, someone gains something precious in a car, and what colorful plastic building block has caused an episode for one of our listeners?

Episode 319 - Observed

Tim is back on the show and we're talking about new year new me, and our resolutions this year are going to blow your mind, things like,

Observed Holidays
Tulsa King

Just because a holiday falls on your normal day off, does that really mean you need to get an extra day? Commerce needs to commence, people have shit to do, and more importantly they need to get away from these damn kids or someone is going to lose a toe! No, you got your day of rest, now get back to work you lazy good for nothing, who do you think you are? Royalty of the Southwest? I don't think so.

Speaking of Southwestern Royalty, Sly Stallone has an all new series where he plays a big thumb man mumbling thumb man sayings. I'm 100% convinced paramount made this show to spite me personally, it's too on the nose, and it's just a mediocre TV show. Everyone in Tulsa gives it a pass because, "It's cool to see a show set here." You're not the hero! The hero is an out of towner doing out of town things! Infuriating.

All that plus a take down of the Mr. Ed Segment, Tim brings the news, and one of our hosts finally hits puberty.

Episode 318 - Scratchers

We've made it through Christmas, Kwanzaa is upon us, and as we run out the clock on 2022 Buck is back for two last issues for the year.

Overstimulation
Eye of the Holidays

For some reason everything these days needs to Light up, Make Noise, Have a Screen, and otherwise be as obnoxious as possible. On top of that there's the horrid swell of humanity that all needs to pack in to every warm spot to be exactly in your way. All of that can lead a Person of Spectrum like Buck and I to feel like it's time to go Falling Down on society. We don't do it though, because we're weak.

It's basically over at this point, but isn't it weird how we have a week every year of basically 0 productivity, yet we require workers to be there just to hold their benefits and job security over them. How many times have you worked a part time, or hourly job during the Christmas season and find that your boss is "On vacation" or at this point "Working remotely" for 5 days, while your miserable ass is driving into work to play on facebook and pretend you just enjoy being there. It's ridiculous, we need to stop demanding work from others we don't want to do ourselves.

All that plus some re-runs of new voicemails, what goes in the bum, and we announce the winner of Pin the Tail on my Neck.

Episode 317 - Happy Secularmas

New introductions are made in this Festivus episode of HWIDG. So grab yourself a bagel, and get ready as we air some grievances in the name of our patron saint, Frank Costanza...

- X-mas
- Kicking Out the Ladder
- Fake AI Movies

While we weren't looking a secular group snuck in during the night and cut the face off of your favorite holiday and taped it onto their soulless cash grab holiday face. Without realizing it you've been manipulated into defending a holiday, that exists to make you feel bad and spend money. Instead of a holiday meant to make you feel joy, and not need to spend thousands of dollars to show people you love them.

Grace is a successful person who uses their success to help assist others. Only a small petty person with little hands and little eyes doing nothing but telling great big lies would use their success to prevent others from doing the same. I think Randy Newman would agree with me when I say, that those people have no reason to live.

More and more these days the internet is just a cesspool of trash. People making things only to troll one another into thinking wrong thoughts. It's sad. That's why you shouldn't believe anything you read or see on the internet, and as AI takes over more and more you can't even believe photographic evidence. I'm guessing by the 2028 Presidential Election we'll be seeing AI created scandal materials to discredit other candidates.

All of that plus too fat to fly, why are Chaco's issues so long, and deep fake Mr. Ed Episodes.

Episode 316 - Long Train Running

Tim is back on the show and we're doing something different this week, it's like an old episode of HWIDG fully stocked. We're coming in hot and talking about

- Holiday Parking
- Jingle Bells
- Fake Snow
- Wednesday

It's that time of year, blow out deals on garbage you don't need and 320 million other Americans wandering around aimlessly in department store after outlet mall. What's the worst part though? The fact that every one of those 320 million Americans seemingly drives 3 cars to every single one of these stores and just leave them there.

Aside for the slanderous implication that Batman smells Jingle Bells are one of the worst plagues to befall man. These obnoxious little devices exist only to destroy the golden silence that should be a basic human right. If you believe hard enough, all of the little balls inside the bells will vanish.

Global warming is real, that's why now we need to use plastics to recreate the snow for boomers to be able to enjoy their shallow corporate consumer holiday. Because how would I enjoy seeing A Christmas Carol for the millionth time if it didn't have small pieces of trash raining from above to make people believe the inside outside is real outside and not a fake outside.

I'm tired, so very tired, of seeing corporate propaganda blasted into my eye holes. Year after year and it never changes. Hollywood churns out some trash, and by hook or by crook now all the "Influencers" need to be part of the culture. The day is coming, when Hollywood can will memes into existence, and when that happens we will be so inundated with advertising that the universe will hopefully collapse.

All that plus Tim reads some news, we adjust the audio levels, and a new beef is born in the voicemails?

Episode 315 - Egg on Your Face

Gabbin about Godzilla Returns! By spite request we spend until 39:48 talking about Shin Godzilla with the one and only Justin Silverman! Tony has nothing to say about the film, but Justin sure does! Then Tab and Tony sit down and talk about...

Dating App Ads
Spotify Wrap Up

You're on the internet trying to wheel some snipers, this one has a beeg a tihdi, that one has a nice smile, the only thing worse than the next one being a fat chick with a neck and chest tattoo is an ad for children's clothes? What the hell am I a fat attention whore with a reboot podcast with the mass of a dwarf star? No I'm an adult man, show me something relevant to my experience, like condoms that will go bad unused in the box, natural male enhancement pills I'll never have the chance to use, or the next big magic the gathering tournament at my local incel hostel.

I get it you like music, you like sharing music, you like people thinking your tastes are unique and interesting. I don't care though, you sat through hours of content you likely don't remember and now I have to see 600 posts of the same vomit of color lists of artists I've never heard of, on a service I never use, and I dread Decembers to come of wrap ups of every useless platform. You watched 300 hours of the office, congrats you have no personality!

All that plus a warning to the Royal Family, a Festivus Miracle, and a recap of the VM Beef 255 episodes in the making!

Episode 314 - All Hail the King (ft. Madcucks)

Flashback, it's 2016 again, Buck and Chaco are the hosts of the show and a very special guest is in studio to whine and complain he got cucked. That's right Madcucks comes out from his alley way, if he sees his shadow it means there will be 6 more years of Dick Masterson being more successful than he'll ever be. While he figures that out the hosts are talking about...

- Vindication
- Gratitude
- Personality Disorders

I didn't get to weigh in this week so here's my hot takes on all the issues.

More than anything in the world I love being right, it's often enough for me to know I'm right, but the even better feeling is when the other person has to admit they were wrong. Currently there's major efforts being made by people in high places to pretend they weren't wrong for the last 3 years. It's infuriating. We'll never be apologized to for the crimes committed against us, the slanderous propaganda they used to weaponize our neighbors. Nope it will be a big amnesty and all the sheeple will happily forget that they were conned into calling the police over nothing, only to be fooled again the next time they need to be corralled into making the right decisions.

Thanksgiving was last week, people throw around how happy they are about their lives for about 10 minutes before diving onto amazon to find the deal of the year on that piece of techno crap. Was $59.99 now $79.99 on sale $59.99! I GOTTA BUY IT! Gratitude means nothing these days. Thank yous are thrown around like you'd say "Good Morning" "How are you, fine and you?" or "I promise I won't stab you with a fork." We just habitually say it to the point, I had to teach myself to stop saying thank you to the toll takers, because THEY AREN'T PROVIDING ME A SERVICE! I used to thank them, thanks for stealing $5 from me for the audacity to use this road that's been paid off for 50 years. All because we're guilted into showing gratitude for no reason.

As the child of a Narcissist I spent my formative years learning to sacrifice my own wants and needs for the benefit of the person manipulating me into the actions they so chose. Fortunately for me I had a great father figure who saved me from ending up a self centered manipulator trying to get the most for me possible. I know you're thinking, "Tab, your face is on the cover of this episode with the phrase 'All Hail the King' and you're not a narcissist?" I'm not, I'm something far worse, I got trained into being subservient to others to not evoke their wrath, and instead be rewarded. Doesn't seem like a big deal until you realize you're working a job that 5+ people should be doing, working 100+ hours in a 5 day period, and the 5 people that replaced you 3 have already quit in 6 months. I nearly killed myself to try and serve others, what did I get for it? Slandered and abused. I'm not doing it anymore. I want to have hobbies, I want to sit on my sofa, I want to have friends that don't also do theatre. Call me selfish all you want, you can blow me.

All that plus forgotten sponsors, casual blasphemy, a fake Mr. Ed recap, and you finally get to see what happens when I'm not running the show. Until next week!

Episode 313 - In Kirk We Trust

No Hate November is winding down this Thanksgiving but we're still going strong, much like Chaco's internet this week. The Academy of Podcast Affiliates is sitting in so we're trying to clean things up while we discuss;

- Hayes Code Movies
- Star Trek: The Original Series

In 1934 it was clear, movies were terrible. Rather than doing the right thing and cancelling Hollywood, Hollywood banned together and outlawed free speech. It's a massive change from today, and the industry is all the better for it. By 1968 smut was back on the menu and with it the decline of society and movies, which is why we're watching Black Panther Forever and wondering when the MCU got so terrible.

In 1966 the future was born. Cell phones, flat screen TVs, and over dramatic temper tantrums when life doesn't quite work out. Star Trek was a phenomenon unlikely to be duplicated in our lifetimes, but they'll keep trying until Star Trek is as dead as George Takei's career.

All that plus the worst Bicycler in the world, how to catch fish and how many is a serving, plus Tab goes back to school. Don't forget to VOTE ON THE FATE OF THE NEWS SEGMENT! This is the only election where your voice actually matters!

Episode 312 - The Dan Schneider of Boobs

This is it HWIDG fans, 6 whole years of uninterrupted content and we're still going strong. The show has under gone a lot of changes, including the latest change with No Hate November which we continue discussing...

- Logan
- Being Organized
- Star Trek: The Next Generation

So many franchises end after a few sequels bomb, the ratings drop, or an actor dies. It leaves us all wanting a proper end that we will never get, or worse, they'll give us 35 years later with a minority in the lead. So when Hugh Jackman did the improbable and retired as Wolverine and called his shot with one of the best movies of the last 30 years it gave a generation that melancholy feel of profound sadness, but an appreciation for the great stories we experienced.

A smart man learns from his mistakes, a smarter man learns from others. Too few in this world are smart enough to do either. Instead we end up trapped working for the ineffably stupid, who treat us with disdain because their back stage pass is laminated and ours is a sticker. I can do your job better than you, you worthless putz.

In a move that wouldn't become common for another 30 years, suddenly a dead franchise was revived with a late in life spin off sequel. Not a reboot or a remake, but an interconnected cinematic television universe. It started an 18 year run of Television featuring 4 TV shows, 6 feature films, and inspired a generation of continuing exploration.

All that plus, families that don't play, TV reviews, and the final a definitive answer to the Shopping Cart dilemma. I hope you're enjoying our new format leave your feedback by commenting below, leaving us a voicemail 704-750-9434, sending us an email hwidgpodcast@gmail.com, or messaging us on DISCORD 

Episode 311 - #1 Pasta in Iowa

No Hate November continues and for a second week in a row the co-host comes in hot with a REWORKED Don't Get. I personally disavow all of these shenanigans. I'm bringing in real Do Gets and these clowns try and stay the course, how embarrassing.

- Representing Yourself
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

The constitution guarantees you a right to a speedy trial, a right to face your accuser, and most importantly a right to legal counsel. Who needs those people though? First off, they're expensive. These lazy guys sit in a office all week, go to court one afternoon and list off some gobblygook latin non-sense. The court, who's in a on the scam "drops" the charges, but now you have to pay the lawyer the money you owed anyway. The whole thing is a scam. Eliminate the middle man, represent yourself.

In the golden era of Star Trek no other series is lauded as much as Deep Space Nine. Deep on the frontier of the federation suddenly the hub of the galaxy, Deep Space Nine is a slower show dedicated to character and skewing the utopian ideals of the series coming before it. Deep Space Nine has a lot of highlights, the Dominion War, expanding the Ferengi, a post Cardassian Occupation where Gul Dukat did nothing wrong. 15 million deaths over 50 years, that's basically nothing. The real story in Deep Space Nine though is a story of Father's and Sons. Ben and Jake, Rom and Nog, Joseph and Ben, Miles and Kariyoshi, Worf and Alexander, and who doesn't need a good father son story?

All that plus we talk about Psychotic Trekkies, The Perfect Old Fashioned Glass, and catching Pikachu.
