  • To Us It's a Slime Pit, But To Them It's Home

    Episode 184 - Sarek


    Spock's well-sculptured father, Sarek, visits the starship Enterprise to broker a peace treaty with the disco slime Legarans in what may be his very last diplomatic mission. But what the crew of the Enterprise don't realise is that Sarek has come down with a wicked case of the Bendii's (crickey!) and all hell is about to break loose. Thankfully the Warped crew is well-versed in the sins of Hell and it's a rockin' good time as Captain Jean-Luc Picard gets to shake his well-honed and finely muscled theatrical spear. He swallows solar systems whole and shows his crew what it takes to pull in the big bucks. Just be sure not to turn the lights on at the end of our "therapy" session.


    Happy 100th, Gene!

  • Anything Can Be A Sex Couch If You Try Hard Enough

    Episode 183 - The Most Toys


    What's the difference between a hoarder and a collector? Is it just taste? And did Data shoot that guy or what? Opinions differ on this week's episode, but we all agree that Data looks great in lavender. Alien makeup preferences are explored, and Minh takes a bold stance. We question the comfort of beds in the future (square pillows?) but the couches are definitely down to Pon Farr. Meanwhile, Matt describes his favorite fan-Trek video (watch it here, it's hilarious: https://youtu.be/YoZ4dK7JKNg), Phillipe has his trypophobia triggered, and Corrections Corner is brought to you by Goldschlager and Skrewball!

  • This Should Be Called "Your Boss Finds Your Browser History"

    Episode 182 - Hollow Pursuits


    It's New Faces Week on Warped as the Enterprise welcomes a new crew member and the podcast welcomes a new guest! Kate joins the gang in-studio to discuss the debut of Lieutenant Barclay and the ethics of Holodeck sexy fun times, in an episode that raises all kinds of interesting questions. For example, is anyone in Starfleet a good manager? And has Troi ever even met - much less helped - anyone like Barclay before? Meanwhile, Guinan's #1 Fan Erin has some thoughts about Whoopi's Wobbly Hat, while Phillipe wants to know why you can't Alt-Tab the Holodeck. And we wrap it all up by wondering what happened to brand names in the future. Welcome aboard the U.S.S. Qualcomm, everyone!

  • Voltron Is Like An Orgy

    Things get therapeutic this week, as Phillipe reveals why this was his favorite episode of TNG as a lonely kid dreaming of being part of something bigger. Thinking about being part of something bigger naturally leads to an extended digression about Voltron, Jetfire, and the fictional vehicles of our youth. The nostalgia vibes are strong as we remember Knight Rider, Airwolf, The A-Team (apologies in advance for the bad Mr. T impressions), and...The Love Bug?


    Meanwhile, Matt gets a factoid about Betazoid eyes wrong (we eagerly await your outraged tweets!), Phillipe and Matt geek out about old Starlogs, Shawn reviews a live Beach Boys concert, and Minh nearly derails the show describing something called Downtown Abbey.

  • Episode 180 - Captain's Holiday
    Maybe it's because this is our first episode recorded in person back in the studio together, fully vaxed and fully waxed! Maybe it's because Jean-Luc gets to visit Risa! Maybe it's the White Russians and the Margaritas! Whatever the reason, this is a very energetic, and very HORNY conversation! I mean, we all know what happens on Risa stays on Risa, but what happens back on the Enterprise? When Jean-Luc's away, the Riker will play! Minh wonders if Data is a sex robot, Erin admires Jean-Luc's short shorts, Matt reminds us that Riker loves a pleasure planet, and we all cannot stop talking about the insane leisure wear of the future. It's Horga'hns and Pon Farrs and Jamaharons (oh my!) on a Very Listener-Discretion Advised edition of Warped!

  • Episode 179 - Allegiance

    Trust. Who has it? Who wants it? And what's it worth to you anyway? These are the tough questions Star Trek tackles this week, while we goof off instead of paying attention!


    * Minh stumps Shawn in a round of "What Show Is Minh Talking About?" (See if you can guess! I put the answer at the end of the show notes.)


    * A Bolian, a Fangtooth, and the Sydney Opera House walk into a bar, and we FMK them, which gets weirdly contentious.


    * Erin teaches us a valuable lesson about hiding dead bodies (hint: don't tell the police where they CAN'T look)!


    * Fake Picard and Beverly kiss(!) which gives us all Last Starfighter vibes, and raises the question of how do you know your Picard is fake?


    * Minh tries to avoid playing Shove It In Minh's Mouthhole by changing the subject to possums, which of course works.


    * Matt makes an embarrassing ukulele confession.


    * And finally, we introduce a new, soon-to-be regular segment, Marathon Talk!



    (SPOILER FOR WHAT SHOW IS MINH TALKING ABOUT: The show Minh is talking about is Dollhouse.)

  • Episode 178 - Sins of the Father
    It's a matter of honor (but not "A Matter of Honor" that's episode 143) this week as we begin our deep dive into the murky waters of Klingon politics. Minh kicks things off with a Klingons/Cling-Wrap joke and frankly things don't get any better from there. Worf and Kurn inspire the gang to share their stories of brothers fighting, except for lonely child Matt, who can't relate. Erin has to choose her ride or die cha'DIches. Over in Correction Corner, we ponder how many people can fit inside Jabba the Hutt. And Jake may not remember Numberwang, but he'll tell you all you need to know about siphonophores!

  • Episode 177 - The Offspring
    We're keepin' em separated (90s kids will get this reference), as Erin does a new version of the show intro, throwing the rest of the Gang into disarray. Data gets a daughter this week, but in classic TNG fashion, she doesn't stick around. (Remember Deanna's space baby? Deanna doesn't.) We take a peek behind the curtain into the Warped editing process, which frankly probably should have been cut. Meanwhile, Erin remembers taking wood shop at...some point in her schooling? Shawn takes a deep dive into the Frakes Filmography. Matt shouts out his favorite Star Trek Twitter parody accounts (what's up @RikerGoogling and @EnterpriseCPU)! We explore the relative sexiness of Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart, and Gay Patrick Stewart. And finally, just to tie a bow on the whole thing, we screw up the outro just as bad as we did the intro. Progress!

  • Episode 176 - Yesterday's Enterprise
    Great episode, or THE GREATEST EPISODE?!?! We're getting high on our own supply and remembering how much we love Star Trek on this week's episode. Erin gives us a new catchphrase - "Let's get Warped!" - and another variation on the show intro. Shawn and Matt geek out over the changes to the ship and crew in the alternate timeline (I love typing the words "alternate timeline"). For some reason an in-depth conversation about Grease 2 breaks out, threatening to destroy our jolly mood, until we join back together in celebration of how good Guinan and Tasha are together. And we all agree that Star Trek fans are the best!

  • Episode 175 - A Matter of Perspective

    Is Riker a Sex Creep? Or does every woman in the world want him? It's all just a matter of perspective on this week's episode! (See what I did there?) It's Space Rashomon as the gang tries to figure out who killed Hector Salamanca, and all they know is it wasn't Gus Fring. That was for all the Breaking Bad fans out there.


    Meanwhile, Matt praises Ghost of Tsushima! Shawn stands up for Ace Ventura! And we all marvel at The Many Hobbies of Jean-Luc Picard, which leads to a very serious question: why isn't there TV in the future???
