This week, comedian and writer Ben Rodgers returns (Star Trek: Lower Decks) to fill in for Vero and cover so, so much Paul Schrader, sample boxes, the hell that is Vancouver, the horror of Alice's Canadian recording setup, small handwriting, and more. Behind the paywall, Ben and Skyler find out whether or not Alice watched the episode, what Bashir's going to look like when he ages, and dive deep on drug-seeking aliens.

Alice and Skyler are here to discuss presidents on mushrooms, the joys of cable management, just how risky the latest bargain airline flight may or may not be, a show Skyler is not involved in but loves and talks about all the time, Vero and Vero's boyfriend's dad's dining seating preferences, and, truly, more than that. Behind the paywall, O'Brien becomes unstuck in time and Bashir's p casual about it, the Romulans cannot chill, and, effectively, DS9 gets a new O'Brien, who's still not the same as the old O'Brien, but, whatever. It's complicated. Listen!!

Whatever happened to Alice's first crush? Would living in the one-building-town in Alaska be great, or a nightmare? Should Treks just switch to covering that one-building-town going forward? And have enough people seen Steven Soderbergh's techno-thriller Kimi? Behind the paywall, a Ferengi shows the capacity to be kind and generous, but wouldn't it be funny if that was in fact not real? And the Caringtons: are they all they're cracked up to be? Sign up on Patreon to find out!!

Well, here it is: the first new episode we recorded after the awful thing happened (Ezra Klein played a Joe Rogan clip on his podcast). Also, everything is falling apart, and Alice and Skyler are trying to sort it out. Behind the paywall, O'Brien wrestles with Cardassian scientists who hate him, the power of vague prophecies, and Odo's love of The Purge. Listen to the whole thing on Patreon!!

Where is Alice? Behind the paywall, that's where, where, also, Kira... is not what she seems (she's stuck in a big 'ole rock). Vero and Skyler catch up on all of Vero's plans for her show at The Elysian. What's with all the paperwork to get married, what's the officiant service of choice these days, and is Vero ordained or not??

Before the paywall, we talk exclusive ring services for Dutch gutter punks, whether or not there's tea (there isn't), the best way to deal with a grilling from KTLA, making lifelong friends at 33 Taps, the nightmare of working in entertainment in this day and age, and beyond. Behind the paywall, we conclude the excellent two-parter Past Tense, with Sisko narrowly pulling off revolution by improvising his way through it.

Fooled by viral food trends? Same. Anna Delvey is in the news again for some reason, ughghghgh. Behind the paywall, a horrible disease causes everyone to be embarrassing (the disease: old woman). Meanwhile, O'Brien is bad at fatherhood, horny.

Nutter butter is off the rails! Fast food let downs across the pond, and Bowser is doing well in the polls. We should probably work on Media Literacy as a society. Behind the paywall, can O'Brien have a moment's peace? No! Will Riker is not what he seems, Gul Dukat is cucked? Did not see that coming.
