This week Dana and Dan discuss the third film in the franchise, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The guys talk about how Kirk is on a mission to find Spock, while the Klingons try to steal the secret of the Genesis device. Dana and Dan also talk about how the entire crew plays a larger role in this move.
And, of course, there is rambling about who invented Parker rolls, whether zero is a number, and bad music from the 80s.

In this episode, Dana and Dan discuss the Strange New Worlds episode "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow." The guys talk about how La'An goes on a time traveling adventure to try to save herself and those in her timeline. And thanks to a listener who thought there has been a lack of rambling, the guys take several tangents, including fessing up about their criminal pasts and how Chicago hot dogs are at the top of the hot dog pyramid!

In this episode, Dana and Dan discuss "Ad Astra Per Aspera." They talk about how Pike tries to save Una from being thrown into a Federation Penal colony. The guys also wonder what a real lawyer would think about the courtroom scene. And while no asparagus shows up in the episode, carrots do.
