THIS is bloody good entertainment. While listening to a Podcast, I have never smiled more or chuckled more all the while hearing terrific stories. These two fellas (and their guests) are A+ entertainment. Live mighty long and prosper greatly guys.
I’m really enjoying the podcasts guys.Awesome guests and fun name dropping!
I could listen to these two all day. I am a die hard Trekkie , but you don’t have to be to enjoy listening to these stories. Just listened to the Michael Dorn episode and it was my favorite! Of course I am biased because Worf is my all-time favorite Star Trek character.
Love the show!
Like the bell!
Wish the record volume was higher.
For us working stiffs who walk by locomotives, noisy coworkers, loud air conditioning, or just driving on the highway, I would like it if the record volume is a bit higher.
It’s easier to turn down the volume than turn it up past the limits. Even with noise cancelling headphones.
Otherwise, I love this show and love the guests!
Love the show, but I may go deaf
