No blurb this time. We're right into it. Here's part 2 of our Trekoff podcast simulcast is NOW! Almost called this one "Cyrano Woman, Cyrano Cry." Would that have been a better title. There is an unnecessary amount of stress associated with naming these things.

Podcast 100 (Pt. 1): What Does a Pear Taste Like to You?

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 07:22:00 +0000

Two people equals two hours. We should have realized that four people would equal four hours. Podcast 100 turned out to be so galactic that we had to split it up. Obviously, many many thanks for Justin and Alexia from the Trekoff podcast joining in on the fun and putting up with us with zero complaints. Just so you're all aware, MOST of the part 1 mp3 is actually the bunch of us talking current television. Honestly, it took about 45 minutes longer than we anticipated. If you hate television, better skip to ahead 55 minutes. Hey! Andrea and Phil also joined on Skype for a while. Apologies for not getting to everyone on Skype. We'll totally do that again.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH
5:08 -- Top five television shows currently running
55:36 -- "Apocalypse Rising"
1.24:15 -- "The Ship"
1.50:59 -- Qapla'

Listener Contribution! How DS9 Got Its Pylon Back

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:50:00 +0000

For the Cause, Part II

By David Bradley

"Jumpin Jehosefat! You need what? A new pylon? By next week? Yeah, well I want an Andorian pony, but I don't go around calling Starfleet requisitions asking for one." Lieutenant Ron Silvermage pressed his palms against his temples and let out a sigh. The engineer shook his head and gave a grimaced look into the viewscreen's camera. "Alright Chief O'brien, I'll see what I can do." Silvermage jammed his thumb into the panel in front of him, nearly fracturing the digit as he ended the transmission.

A moment later, Ensign Scotty McCandlesex entered the office. McCandlesex, Silvermage's assistant, noticed the deep frown on Silvermage's face. "What's up, boss?"

"It's those damn TV hot shots. Yet again, we have to go and clean up the mess they made. This time, a whole pylon is missing off Deep Space Nine! And we've only got a week to fix it!"

McCandlesex walked over to the replicator. "Coffee. Irish. Hot." He took a big gulp from the mug before addressing Silvermage. "You knew it couldn't last forever. We had it pretty good for a few years there. Whenever Enterprise would get into some big battle, we'd have to scrub that baby clean before the next episode started recording. But Deep Space Nine, they just let it ride."

Silvermage threw his hands up in frustration. "I know, the consistency thing was pretty sweet. But now, 'continuity be damned, we need the station fixed up right away!' Can't believe I've got to take orders from the only stinking noncommissioned officer in Starfleet.”

“So how are we going to get this done? I mean, pylons are a big job. How can we do it in a week?”

The pair furrowed their brows, put on their thinking caps, quickly took off their thinking caps because they looked stupid, and then, in unison, cried out: “The Dauphin!”

---

“I say we just go to Risa,” said McCandlesex from the pilot’s seat. “Leave this stupid job behind.”

Silvermage gave him a stern look, and turned back to the comm screen. “So, Admiral, where can we find The Dauphin?”

“Probably in my bed! Wait, is she hot?” replied Admiral Riker.

“Oh, um, well, she could be. Or she could be a furry monster.”

Riker shrugged. “I’ve Rike’d worse. But I gotta say, the quality of ladyfolk has really increased for me since I finally earned access to the Hot Chick Budget.”

Silvermage frowned. “Hot Chick Budget?”

“Yeah, the Hot Chick Budget!” Riker said with a laugh. “It’s why no one else gets paid in this society, we’ve got to keep the brass happy! And happy I am.” Riker sighed, and looked off into the middle-distance, a vacant smile overtaking his face.

---

Silvermage and McCandlesex turned to the transporter pad as The Dauphin appeared. They winced and turned away at seeing her visage. “Could you please choose a form a little less … repulsive?”

The Dauphin sighed. “I thought the form of the daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir of the Holy Rings of Betazed would be pleasing to you?”

Silvermage replied, “No, Lwaxana Troi just makes me want to run away.”

“Told you we should have gone to Risa,” McCandlesex muttered.

“There, is this better?” The two Starfleet officers turned back to The Dauphin and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw she chose the form of Kirstie Alley circa 2011.

---

As they arrived at Deep Space Nine, they looked out the porthole and saw the broken and battered station. “We better hope this works,” said Silvermage.

A steely look entered The Dauphin's eye. “I’m ready to do anything … for the cause.”

“Wait, why are you even agreeing to d – oof!” McCandlesex’s question was interrupted by a firm jab to the ribs from one of Silvermage’s elbows.

“ANYWAY. So once we transport you into space, you’re going to have about 30 seconds to transform into the DS9 pylon, Ms. The Dauphin.”

“My name is Salia.”

“Thanks for clearing that up, Ms. The Dauphin. Like I was saying, if you don’t transform quickly enough, you’re going to explode, and that’s going to make our jobs even harder. Ready?”

The Dauphin nodded, eyes locked forward, waiting for Silvermage to activate the transporter. After a few seconds, McCandlesex cleared his throat and said, “It doesn’t work unless you say ‘energize,’ Ms. The Dauphin.”

---

After The Dauphin-turned-pylon was secured into place, McCandlesex plotted a course back to Starfleet Headquarters. “So, when are we going back to actually rebuild the pylon, so The Dauphin can get back to running her planet?”

“Oh,” said Silvermage, “maybe next week some time?”

SPOILER ALERT: They never did.

THE END.

Alright, the competition/alliance/weirdness between this podcast and the Trekoff Podcast is in full swing! Also... we went back to the precedented -- we actually talked about Star Trek... hard core! We had an early celebration for J.R.'s birthday and talked about a bunch of other random stuff. I don't know why I just typed that. Is it still considered saying random stuff when we actually say random stuff every single time? Okay from now on I'll say we talk about Star Trek and say a bunch of standard stuff. Oh, we're still smack in the middle of DS9 btw.

Podcast 97: A Princely Intermission

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 06:41:00 +0000

We may have a few viewers coming in from The Trekoff podcast. Welcome! Also: PODCAST 97 IS A LOUSY PODCAST TO START ON! Last week, off-air, we dared each other to release an entire podcast where we actually don't discuss any Star Trek episodes. We sort of succeeded! We gave in and discussed the episodes a bit, but without actually watching them. If you happen to listen to this week's podcast without reading this actual sentence, it will become quite apparent very early on in our awards and rankings.

This one's extra curricular. Please keep in mind!

We only covered one episode -- "The Way of the Warrior: Parts 1 & 2" -- due to Thanksgiving cramming of all sorts. Also, there was yawning. I don't know how we managed to fill an entire podcast on a single episode (parts 1 & 2). Well, viewer mail helps a lot.

Anyway, somebody email if this podcast is too quiet. I unwittingly skipped a step in the production process.

Sickness! If you listen to Podcast 90, you WILL get sick. Just the sound of coughs, sniffles and sneezes WILL adjust your bodies' immune system to weaken.

In the meantime, we finish up Season 3 with a captaincy and a riveting finale. Curiously we didn't really comment on the season as a whole. Hmm. Well, we each had five favorite episodes and five least favorite episodes, so the season broke even pretty well.

spooky scary!

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:56:00 +0000

Alright so sorry about not recording last week (and also sorry for not recording this week), but we may as well post this year's Halloween CD track listing. Many of you gave us suggestions and for that we thank you. We actually used a lot of suggestions from our Star Trek circle.

Some of you Star Trek geeks may be interested to know that we intercut many of these songs with lines from the classic TOS episode "Catspaw" (considered to be the original "Star Trek Halloween Special." If you're a fan of the TV show Community, the songs not mixed with Star Trek clips are mixed with last year's Community Halloween special.

1. "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" by NAHPI (North American Hallowe'en Prevention Inc.)
2. "A Song From Under the Floorboards" by Magazine
3. "The Cat With Two Heads" by The Aquabats
4. "Jack the Ripper" by Morrissey
5. "She's in Parties" by Bauhaus
6. "Little Sister" by Queens of the Stone Age
7. "You Make Me Feel So Young" by JonDis (a Jon Madsen original interpretation)
8. "Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists
9. "Night Time Demons" by Arrested Development
10. "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd
11. "Dead and Bloated" by Stone Temple Pilots
12. "Rawhead and Bloodybones" by Siouxsie & the Banshees
13. "The Widow" by The Mars Volta
14. "Stolen Roses" by Karen Elson
15. "The Ghost of You Lingers" by Spoon
16. "I Can't Smile" by Bruce Lee Roy (a J.R. Fillmore original interpretation)
17. "I Believe It's Magic" by Mick Smiley
18. "In the Year 2525" by Visage

If you'd like any of these Halloween tracks, we'll email the mp3 to you.

Magazine, Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Mick Smiley and Visage are pretty sweet '80s acts. The Visage song, in particular, is a cover of an old '60s song (which is very prominent in the movie Gentlemen Broncos if you ever saw that). The Mick Smiley song we used is a remix known only during a pivotal apocalyptic scene in a certain movie about guys who bust ghosts.

Pink Floyd, of course, is very '70s -- although "One of These Days" sounds more modern than when it was released (1971 -- surprisingly before Dark Side of the Moon).

The Aquabats, Morrissey, Arrested Development and Stone Temple Pilots are, of course, stuff we listened to in the dark days of the '90s.

Queens of the Stone Age, The Decemberists, The Mars Volta, Karen Elson and Spoon are, more or less, contemporary (the Karen Elson CD is so brilliant by the way). The North American Hallowe'en Prevention Inc. was, I guess, some sort of "Band-aid"-like charity group featuring such celebrities as Beck, Feist, Arcade Fire, Devendra Banhart, Elvira, David Cross, Rilo Kiley, Wolf Parade & Thurston Moore.

J.R. and Jon hilariously composed a couple of spoken word versions of "happy" songs and sort of Halloweenized them.

Podcast 89: Plan DS9 From Outer Space

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 07:11:00 +0000

B.S. happened. If you wanna get right into the Star Trek talk, skip ahead to 46:32. SPOILER ALERT, once again, we're not excited to talk DS9. I mean we get naked old ladies, sailboats and a bunch of Kira's old terrorist friends again. We may as well have had Greek new age musicians on the podcast because YAWN-ni.

So, okay, this particular podcast nearly broke records in length. No idea how that happened. As you will hear shortly, not that much was said about these episodes. Very weird. Must have been the Saturday afternoon recording time. Also -- this tends to happen when podcasts creep over 2 1/2 hours -- the end audio is mixed a bit screwy, causing the end theme music to blast louder than it ought to be. Don't let that discourage you from listening to all seven minutes of outtakes. Actually, those, like always, are very expendable.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some talk (military money, BYU football, spooky scary movies)
24:59 -- Viewer mail
46:32 -- "The Die is Cast"
1.12:31 -- "Explorers"
1.39:43 -- "Family Business"
1.53:24 -- "Shakaar"

2.22:22 -- Next episode guesses
2.27:03 -- Qapla' and outtakes

One thing we neglected to mention -- apparently it has been mentioned a few times that Odo can't do faces. Seems like a face would be easier than a basket or something. Whatever.

Fortunately, Skype handled things this week. Unfortunately, one of us was tired and on the verge of complete collapse. As a result there were more meandering conversations based on viewer mail than usual. Sometimes that's entertaining. In the meantime, SPOILER ALERT, these episodes weren't that bad at all.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some talk (horror movies, college days, Avengers trailer)
16:46 -- Viewer mail
32:41 -- "Visionary"
50:32 -- "Distant Voices"
1.04:24 -- "Through the Looking Glass"
1.22:13 -- "Improbable Cause"

Podcast 85: My Second Skin I'm Swimming In

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 05:38:00 +0000

For a podcast that deals with futuristic wonderful technology, our recording technology is surprisingly lacking. Prepare yourselves to hear all sorts of wonderful struggles of two people just trying to record a conversation over Skype. Also, we had a fun time with some pretty darn good episodes juxtaposed with one hilariously bad one. Place your bets now on what's what.

Some long-time listeners may be confused about J.R. talking about his future children. This may fly in the face of the events mentioned in Podcast 62. We're accepting plausible theories that justify our current timeline.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some viewer mail
12:43 -- More viewer mail
16:07 -- "Second Skin"
34:59 -- "The Abandoned"
51:16 -- "Civil Defense"
1.05:19 -- "Meridian"
1.21:29 -- Podcast awards and rankings
1.32:16 -- Next episode guesses
1.39:33 -- Qapla' and outtakes

"Burning Heart" by Survivor. Here.

Watch this clip from Police Squad! Go to 4:55 for my favorite joke.

We're back! And sorry!

Season 3 of DS9 finally begins with a two-parter. Said two-parter ends with... 80s supergroup Survivor? We had a LOT of viewer mail piled up, so we pretty much used that instead of us talking ourselves.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH
13:05 -- Viewer mail
25:05 -- "The Search, Pt. I"
40:52 -- "The Search, Pt. II"

1.09:49 -- "Equilibrium"
1.21:41 -- Podcast awards and rankings
1.35:16 -- Next episode guesses
1.41:57 -- Qapla' and outtakes

If the outtakes weren't enough for you, we strongly suggest you view this video.

Here is the link to how to pronounce the name of our listener from Denmark!

Here is a link to Onion AV Club TNG TV Watch (I think this link works anyway).

Wow! Turns out Eddington really is in the movie Krull!

Huh. Turns out Grilka is Na'Toth in Babylon 5. There's some good sci-fi cross-pollination for you!

Podcast 81: Kang and Skype

rexbasior@yahoo.com (Jon R. Productions) — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 05:36:00 +0000

Alright! Let's see if you all have the patience for the usual spate of audio problems, the groggy morning talk and the sound of constant laptop clicking!

Now listeners, do you have the patience to hear... yourselves? We had a great round of skype in calls. You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

Only three episodes this week. We're saving the two-parter for next time. This time around, it's Dax's turn. Will it be more enjoyable than O'brien's turn last week? By the way, I wonder why we didn't link the big finale of "Blood Oath" to the assassination of Osama bin Laden. Was it too obvious? Oh well. Mentioned it now.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH
10:02 -- Listener Skype extravaganza
38:37 -- "Playing God"
47:11 -- "Profit and Loss"
1.03:56 -- "Blood Oath"
1.22:06 -- Podcast awards and rankings
