Hey, uh, that's the end of the show. I mean, unless anybody can think of anything... good. Send us your good pod ideas. Brothers@brotherdate.com. Find us on the less fascist social medias.

Brother Date! As you believe so shall you do, so shall you do. As you believe so shall you do.

I guess the The Riverwood Trader is actually called Lucan's Dry Goods...? Even though there are definitely potions and things in there, too. Weird.

Brother Date! Need something?

Oooooooohhhhhhh, Ezri was a figment of Bashir and Worf's imagination all along. Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Also, how did Bok know that thing about Picard?

Brother Date! It was a real fur ball out there tonight!

Hey guys. Hey. Sorry. It was "So Fresh, So Clean". It was "So Fresh, So Clean" and not "Ms. Jackson". That's on me, the one who's typing now. I apologize. I'm pretty embarrassed. Ok? Ok.

Amber is the color of your energy and all of that.

Brother Date! Party drugs!

What happens to all the cats and dogs of the USS Enterprise when shit goes down? What is to stop any old UFC star from becoming our next Supreme President?

Brother Date! A photo finish this week!

And then there were two. Two awesome shows at the peak of their powers. Each with a lot to say. Real thinkers.

Brother Date! Like a psychic photograph!

I bet there was a scene in "Endgame" where Janeway says to the Borg queen, just before she blows her shit up, "Time's Up." But then they had to cut it because they realized that Janeway had already said that shit to Red Foreman way back when. And also Picard might have said that to F. Murray Abraham in the dumb movie. I don't know, I might be wrong.

Brother Date! This is what it feels like when you're losing your mind!

A man can do all things if he will.
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Brother Date! They're definitely jellin'!

Just what does everybody have against sweet Alyssa Ogawa and when is she going to get with a REAL man? Who ARE Weyoun's greatest nemeses? How WILL Naomi get by as a space orphan?

Brother Date! Welcome to level 48!

This week, we say goodbye and rest in power to an absolute wildcard. We also decide the fate of primitive cave peoples and wonder whether gods SHOULD have god complexes.

Brother Date! Gotta flick it!

Torpedo Hospital. Omega Man. Plasmonic Energies. These are the things I'll miss most of all when we finally, mercifully become.

Brother Date! The Prime Directive still counts!

Many characters made very good points this week, but don't worry because it was a complete accident and the writers did their best to erase any decent scores that might have been earned as a result. We were basically that one Alonzo Mourning GIF, watching at home this week, just accepting that good points were being made and knowing it wouldn't matter.

Brother Date! Is that Zeemo!?

What was the name of the chimeric being Julian Bashir finds on the desolate planet? What potentially dangerous advice did Tom Paris give to a couple of teenagers this week? How susceptible are YOU to gaslighting? Find out on the latest episode of Brother Date!

Brother Date! Gobble gobble! 

What is my approximate human age? Will my big metal uterus prevent me from having a baby? Am I noble for not telling those close to me the things they need to know but might make them grumpy, gosh?

We go DEEEEEP this week on Brother Date! Forensic psychology deep!

How desperate is Geordi for companionship? Did anybody on DS9 call Mark Linn-Baker for advice? Oink oink oink oink oink?

Find out on this week's Brother Date! It's a metaphor!

Matt does twenty hot minutes on fear and shame, and then it's right into the good stuff. You know, what are we supposed to think Picard and Crusher are feeling at the end of this episode, what are we supposed to believe Ezri is feeling at the end of this episode, how bad is Karry Kim's gas in this episode, all the good stuff you need to hear about Star Trek.

Brother Date! Why fitness?

Brother Date! Privacy?

Things we can all agree on: LeVar Burton is a wonderful actor and not a great reader. Tom Paris continues to be as dogshit as that cake Troi gave to Data this week. We've got legit Skrain strain now and we can't see that guy anymore.

Brother Date! Resolved!

Project 2025 returns, not that one but the other one.

To whom did we offer an apology after this week's TNG? What side did VOY come down on in the old debate about capital punishment? When was Saving Private Ryan released? Find out, maybe, on this week's Brother Date.

Brother Date! I'll destroy this ship if necessary!

If you thought this was the club, that you had walked into the club and your favorite dance-pop songs about Star Trek were playing, and you were just dancing it up with your besties, Tuvok and Neelix... hey man... that's ok. That's kind of what happened this week. This show was FUN AGAIN and you don't have to apologize for enjoying it and for enjoying yourself. Maybe that's the new vibe. Maybe every week will be like such as the club. I don't know if that will happen. I hope it will.

I hope it will. - Brother Date.

This week's music created on Udio.com.

 Chako, Janeway, Harry Kim
 Seska's back but very dim
 Macrovirus... it matters!
 I been shattered

Brother Date! Big Apple!

This week, we finally find a name for our Star Trek content. We also discuss three winning entries in the canon.

Brother Date! Straight to Safeway!

After a detailed look at the Annari-Kraylor conflict, we recap the Gabriel Bell Memorial Cup final between the Logicians and the Niners, and finally discuss the rumors of human rights abuses and the use of WMDs by the crew of the USS Enterprise.

Brother Date! All the news that's fit to deliver via secret carrier waves.

Man, has Lore been responsible for all of this shit all along? For real, though? Who came down with a case of Stockholm Syndrome on Voyager this week? Finally, how did Ezri get into that toilet so easily?

Brother Date! OR Sister Date...

Is this the week Sir Pat Stew finally earned that Emmy? Which TNG performers shone brightest on this week's VOY? How do we rate the actor who played Damar's looks?

Brother Date! Oink oink!

Is it true that if you don't use it you lose it? What are your favorite memories of the planet Tyree? Do you think Pat Stew wore a shirt for his audio recording sessions?

Brother Date! It's Shakespeare!

It's the high holidays, everybody. Pagh tem far Btanay, Peldor joi, and Torva luk do shell to everybody who is embracing the primordial darkness, filled with gratitude, or eternally waiting for Kahless the lil' Bowling Ball.

Brother Date! Preach and amen!

This week, we finally learn what the Star Trek writers think of scientists after these cagey bastards have kept it all a secret for so long. Also, is therapy actually bad for you? And finally, some dating advice if your boyfriend sucks but everybody just puts up with it.

Brother Date! Turn us up 97GHz and party!

I bet the Relva VII School for the Recently Portaled is pretty nice. Maybe not as nice as the Little Weapons of the Cosmos club that the Borg babies get to join this week, but probably nicer than the Therapy Center for Starfleet Fantasy and Stabbing Urges that Riker visited.

Brother Date! Join now and get fitted for a flashy "forest-print Marissa" under-the-boots number.

Somebody do a chest x-ray on B'Elanna Torres and see what she's got in there because I hear barking! Judah tells us his favorite Fromis_9 song. Some sad drunk tells Quark, "I want to kiss you."

Brother Date! In the future people will give us too much credit for things we absolutely never intended to say or mean!

This week, Picard finally realizes he has some emotional stuff to deal wi--DID YOU SEE HIS HANDS!? Did you see his preposterous hands at that weird angle when he was playing the flute? LOL! Oh man... that was incredible.

Also, Chako spoils the whole summer and Nog has so many powerful delusions. That's Star Trek for you.

Brother Date! Red Squad! Red Squad! Red Squad! 

How many of DS9's residents and visitors have had powerful orb experiences? Why isn't the name of this week's TNG, "Saddle Mine"? Has Voyager finally found a home for Ray (plural)?

Find out on Brother Date! We can no longer be reached for comment!

This week on Brother Date...

We deleted another regular segment from the show for good! Home stretch, people. So don't bother writing in to tell us whether Troi deserved that ice cream. Yet another character "becomes" this week, and we're finally introduced to Felix!

Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah!

I don't think the web has really caught on yet, but there are some good streaming comedies on Netflix these days. We give our official podcast recommendation in the Mailbag.

On TrekTalk, we ask some questions. Why's she so mad, though? What's the deal with Shrek? Why won't my lasagna souffle rise?

Brother Date! It's a fake!

You're hearing it more and more on the street. What do we shout when we pop open a crisp, cold Dos Equis Ambar Especial?

Also, do you believe in the power of an actor's performance, or a playwright's quill? Is Worf embarrassed about ordering breakfast off the kid's menu? Can Corey remember that he and Johnny are the same age, please, for once, can he remember they're best friends and both of them are 22 years old?

Brother Date! I know this one!

In the mailbag we answer pressing questions like "What was Happy Gilmore's name?" Then, we do a solid 60 minutes about dinner parties, talk about some of the least fundamental Voyager episodes, and...(sigh)... have a serious discussion about comfort women. Thanks, Ron Moore!

Brother Date! True grifters for life!

Guys... guys I'm so sorry. This is aurally the worst Brother Date episode yet. There's so much grimy coughing in here. I thought... I thought I was hiding them. I was NOT hiding them. Oh man... oh man I'm so embarrassed. Just... you can skip this one, ok? It's just Star Trek. You don't need to hear it. Some RoboCop talk. Some Running Man. We'll catch you up on it if you talk to us IRL. Yikes, so sorry.

In the mailbag, we go in-depth on our various social anxieties. Then we zip over to Brunali... Prime?... to learn all about weird family guilt. We make a quick stop at the old alien bar to learn that it's really all about family, and we finish up with some unexamined fear of crimes and the criminals who might do crimes.

Brother Date! It's a psychology podcast!

What if instead of hating me, you imagined a world in which you really loved me? When is a good time to tell somebody you've always had the horny hots for them? What if Honey I Shrunk The Kids happened in outer space? What is the protocol for making small talk with somebody whose head needs a punching?

Brother Date! They are inquisitive!

Are our graphics chips liquid cooled? We dive deep in the Mailbag.

Then, should Deep Space Nine really just be about 1950s New York City? Like... just for maximum art value? What is the plural form of doofus? Why are people so down on my boy, Ed Jellin'? Finally, please write in and tell us who your favorite Running Man cast member is. It's for a school project we're working on.

Seven Brother Dates Forever!

After a brief hiatus, we discuss Bethesda's Starfield. If we like it so much why do we have so many complaints? Then we dive into heavy theorizing about Captain Picard's role in Starfleet, wonder yet again what a better show than Voyager would do, and ask Ryan to rate our new hot tub.

Brother Date! It's saddle time!

In the mailbag, we discuss how much fraud we're willing to commit for a laugh. Then, how do you become a doomsday prepper on the USS Enterprise? Does anybody on the USS Voyager want to go home? And will Marc Alaimo accept our gracious invitation and appear on next week's show?

Find out... I guess next week... on Brother Date!

This week on Broth -- THERE ISN'T TIME FOR EXPLANATION! 

This week's mailbag features a Sports Roundup. Then we get into all the good stuff. Who's that guy Amanda Rogers blasted into the priceless ceramics? Can these individual DS9 guest actors please be credited under one theater troupe name for simplicity? Why can't we just give the Kimtones a chance?

Brother Date! Blaze a fat glory!

The mailbag is saved! The people rejoice! How do I get apps on my computer?

Kira's got new moves, Voyager finds a weird planet, and the USS Enterprise nearly runs out of warp energy!

Brother Date! Everybody drink your coma juice!

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED! A quick catch-up in the Mailbag. Three very important characters make their last appearances in TNG, VOY, and DS9. A landmark week.

Brother Date! Rate limit exceeded!

In this week's mailbag we try to get to the bottom of the internet. What is EVEN good about it? Two TNG episodes this week since the Voyager writers took the week off. Sisko was a bit preoccupied in this week's DS9, which is hella relatable. Finally, Ves Alkar joins us to talk about how YOU. TOO. CAN. HAVE. IT. ALL. Really inspiring stuff.

Brother Date! If that rock glow you must say no.

The Mailbag is full of BBQ sauce and faux-bacon this week. All of our questions about the technology of Star Trek are finally answered in this week's TNG. Voyager's leadership is doing just fine, thank you, no questions please. And if there's one thing we can all agree upon, it's that Damar is to blame. That guy is a mess.

Brother Date! Ocean smells and ocean sounds!

What are the good social media platforms and how do you use them? Is it even possible for Seven to take her shoes off without removing her entire jumpsuit? Is it Randy's job to pick up all of those spent power cells rolling all over the damn place? Is it Rodney's? Are there historical sources to support this hit job TNG did on America's greatest literary minds?

Questions asked. Will they be answered? Brother Date! Toot-toot!

Which special skill has kept one of our hosts unemployed? We dive deep in "Spotlight on Tech" to find out how Data stacks up against an iPad. How do the writers of Star Trek Voyager feel about this week's news about President Biden's plans to send more troops to the border with Mexico? Who's a better father, Worf or Skrain?

Brother Date, a popular show for adults!

What is J's greatest fear, sports edition? How would Voyager have earned a perfect ten this week? Would you go to an event honoring a dead civilization if it promised a free concert and cocktails? Which song could have stopped this terrible space war before it started?

The answers... were inside of you all along. Brother Date! It's a quiet show full of conversation and contemplation!

This week on Brother Date...

The guy who plays Moriarty on TNG should be some kind of skellington by now, but is he?
Who's got the ugliest uniform in Star Trek history?
How will our audition for Lower Decks go?
Which later-Han Dynasty general should be running Deep Space Nine and whyyyyyyyy?

So basically the same old shit.

Why aren't there Roombas in Star Trek? Can you get an STD from an E-Machines tower? How many episodes of Voyager are worse than this week's? Who here rides for Kai Opaka?

Brother Date! The Hierarchy approves.

How many ways does Janeway blow it this week? Have YOU had the chance to see the dolphins yet? What's that song the chief has been humming lately and why is it so catchy?

Brother Date! IS! JERICHOOOOOOOOOOO!

'Rona 'Rona, J's got 'Rona. 
Tell her she's smart and maybe she'll bone ya.

Also, why did Nazis love art so much?

Finally, what's the best name you can come up with for a killer sperm whale? If it's better than Mocha Dick send your suggestions to us @brotherdate on the Twitter machine.

Brother Date! Have one!
