Patrick is traveling abroad on a secret mission of goodwill, so in lieu of our regular episode this week we are opening up our Patreon vault to provide excellent filler content! We welcome you to enjoy not one, but two "pre-episode banter" segments (i.e., the madness that goes on behind the scenes as we prep for that week's podcast).

The first segment is called "Kongo/Bongo" and was recorded as we got ourselves hyped to discuss "Dos Cerritos" & "Shades of Green" in episode #262 of It's Got Star Trek. If that wasn't enough to whet your aural whistles, fret not! It is immediately followed by a segment called "Micro/Macro" - the initial source of Dan and Patrick's long-running argument about macro-penises! That debate delayed the start of our discussion of "The Apple" in episode #252 of It's Got Star Trek.

If you want to have a baller of a time, might we suggest you listen to episodes #262 and #252 of It's Got Star Trek straight away after listening to this episode so you can enjoy thinking about what conversation happened before each of those highly professional and tightly-performed episodes? Might we? We did!

Next week: We we will conclude our coverage of Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds with "New Life and New Civilizations"

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
