Talking Trek Wars (Old Feed)

They guys get together for their weekly chat.  They start off recapping the experience going to the Fathom Events playing Star Trek: the Next Generation’s classic two parter “Best of Both Worlds”.  This unique setting allowed plenty of fodder for comedy gold.  After a slight delay, we realize that this is our what’s happening in May show.  On May 26th is the 10k Rum Run in Tualatin, running with the booze involved.  How can that be anything but a good idea?  There are also two comedians coming to town this month, Amy Schumer and Bill Cosby.   If you need some spiritual enlightenment, the Dalai Lama will be in town on the 9th.  Berg and Mills have a concert list coming to town this month for you to check out: Mumford & Sons, Primus, Young Turks, Cake, and Ozomatli.  There is one day in May that you shouldn’t miss; Mother’s Day is May 12th.  If you need an idea for a gift for Mom, check out the Crafty Wonderland.  Mills is in town to be able experience his first Rose Festival.  Instead, he would rather participate in Cosplay at Wondercon NW.  Finally, after getting through the cultural events going on, the guys get into the meat & potato of the happens of May, the Movie Releases.  The guys are stoked for the movie releases.

They guys got together today and starting right off ripping one another, the subject of the particular rant was online dating.  They got into the good the bad and the ugly.  What they like, as well as dislike about their previous experiences.  Of course with a topic this broad, there was no way for the guys to stay on topic without multiple tangents along the way.  What are your thoughts on the world of online dating?  Let us know in the comment section below.  From there the guys move onto the NBA playoffs.  They revisit their preseason picks for the conference, and world titles.  Finally, following in Patton Oswald’s 8 minute improve Star Wars movie filibuster for Parks & Recreation, the guys spit ball on the fly the direct they would like the next Star Trek TV series to take.  Listen, enjoy, and don’t forget to leave feedback.

The guys gather today and get right into it.  They start off taking about the rash of sports injuries.  From Kobe to Greinke and then some, Berg gets his “I told you so” on Greinke’s inability to make it through the season.  Lance has started a little home improvement, so asks the guys to reminisce on the biggest project they have been involved with.  Mills is excited to see the new movie “42”, the Jackie Robinson story.  This leads to a discussion about Biopics vs Documentaries.  Which do you prefer?  Let us know below.  We end the show trying to answer the question, is plastic surgery cheating?  Listen and enjoy.

This week we get right in it and begin a discussion on Star Trek Movies.  What is each of thoure guy’s favorite, as well as least favorite of all the feature films.  Not to mention the tangent of what is their favorite version of the Enterprise.  Surprisingly, no one picked the ship from Star Trek: Enterprise.  What do you guys think?  Let us know in the comment section below.  The conversation takes a change, as we discuss proper etiquette.  But since is it FUNNY, we focus on proper etiquette at gentlemen establishments.  After we finish our multiple digressions, The General poses an Absurd Argument: Kelly Kapowski vs Topanga.  It wasn’t so much absurd, as it was nostalgic.  With the release of Jurassic Park in 3D, it leads to the discussion of Michael Crichton’s film resume.  What is each of our favorite adaptation of one of Crichton’s books? Listen and Enjoy!
