Episodes

Number One Daughter 19.05.2023

Mailbag | One Small Step | Behind the Lines | Time's Arrow II 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...

Sink The Maine 04.05.2023

Mailbag | Time's Arrow | Dragon's Teeth | Sons and Daughters 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...

Cooked 20.04.2023

Mailbag | Riddles | The Inner Light | Rocks and Shoals 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 sh...

Somewhere Ben is Shaving 06.04.2023

Mailbag | Alice | The Next Phase | A Time to Stand 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.

Unprofessional, Intolerable 23.03.2023

Mailbag | I, Borg | Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy | Call To Arms 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.

Tasty Energy 09.03.2023

After we dive into the old mail bag, we discuss the episodes "Imaginary Friend (TNG)," "In the Cards (DS9)," and "Barge of the Dead (VOY)." Plenty of casting notes from TNG, a DS9 episode we really should have hated, and a criminally unclear plot in VOY. Brother Date ! Stay out of our notes!

Rattlin' 23.02.2023

This week J&M talk about VOY - Survival Instinct, TNG - The Perfect Mate, and DS9 - Empok Nor. 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!

Randy 02.02.2023

After a quick Sea of Thieves mailbag, we discuss Benjamin Sisko's deep strategizing post-Eddington, we find out how the Voyager writers spent the summer leading up to season six, and check in on Randy in IT. He had another great day on the Federation's flagship. Brother Date , a conversation stopper if I ever heard one.

Rare Tea 27.01.2023

YOU WERE WARNED

Lacrushto 19.01.2023

Back from a long hiatus! J&M clearly missed the project dearly because the tangents are frequent and wild and M makes himself laugh so hard he cries. On this week's Voyager , nicknames are a-flying. On this week's Deep Space Nine , there can only be one Odo. On this week's TNG , Wesley finally tells the truth about Nick Lacarno's heinous crime. Brother Date , not cancelled!

Hot Foot 15.12.2022

This week on Brother Date ... One crewman has managed to accrue crippling debt on the USS Voyager. Who is it? Two Klingons covered themselves in foul disgrace on the IKS Rotarran. Who are they? Three is today's winning number on the USS Enterprise. What does it signify? See you next year!

I Don't Mind Knowing 09.12.2022

Everybody is allowed to have one stinker. Check out this week's Brother Date and keep your comments to yourself.

Deader Than Darien Lambert 01.12.2022

This week on Brother Date , we finally get the backstory on one of Star Trek's most popular villains, the TNG writers succeed despite their best efforts, and the DS9 writers succeed thanks to our best efforts. We're all just doing our best out here.

Racing For Silks '23 26.11.2022

On this week's special Thanksgiving episode of Brother Date ... Somebody is very rude and ruins the intro. We take a deep, deeeeeeeep dive into the world of Thanksgiving menus. Twitter is still all around us so we cave and do a mailbag. Finally, these two brothers are bringing back the college sports franchise you've all been eagerly awaiting. This holiday season we pass the curse along to you and...

The Progenitor 17.11.2022

J&M bring you a cornucopia filled with some incredible casting what-ifs in this week's DS9, a curve-adjusted review of this week's Voyager, and a white paper to download from this week's TNG. Spend Thanksgiving with Brother Date. This year I am thankful for my wonderful ancestors and progenitors most of all.

KOREA KOREA KOREA KOREA KOREA 10.11.2022

Who was the Siberian-Techno act that made South Korea go crazy and see black cats everywhere in the mid-90s? Why has LONE SKUM made it his duty to ruin a dear listener's entire year? What's the scoop on how to get a lightly-used truck? Have you ever witnessed any criminal crimes at your place of employ? Write in and let us know! Brother Date ! We're a limp yes on the power of a curse.

Records Are Made To Be Broken 27.10.2022

It's the big 2-5-0! Join us for a celebration of unrivaled achievement in the field of artistic criticism. Voyager has really been crushing the stunt casting lately. Who is the guest of honor this week? What's cousin Gaila's whole... deal? O'Brien gets the chance to say all the things he's desperately wanted to. Will Keiko be open to this new honesty? Find out on Brother Date !

Country Bear 20.10.2022

Can J master the art and science of therapy on his first try? Which ninja video game was most available at Blockbuster Video in the early 90s? Who owns what, just generally speaking? Has anybody at home started watching NewsRadio to keep up? Find out on this week's Brother Date , available on all pod catchers!

Turtle Head 13.10.2022

Hot off the presses, we go DEEP on the Draymond Green situation in Golden State, then we discuss the theoretical horniness of all mankind if war and atrocities were erased from reality, and finally we quickly check in on Net Girl culture... this week on Brother Date !

Three to Keep 29.09.2022

Judah has grown peculiar. Is it age? Is it the 'rona? Did his beard fall out? This week's therapy sesh takes aim at these issues and more. It's moonshine season in the mailbag. Were the folks at Turbo Grafx 16 marketing geniuses? We play a round of Video Games Power Hour. What was J-school like when Matt was in college? Quiz Time for Ryan returns! Brother Date! Think about it! 

Double Irony 22.09.2022

On this week's Brother Date... Who has less charisma, Kurros or Geralt? What did Thomas Jefferson really think about matter-energy transportation? If you admit you've done something illegal in front of a design engineer, are you legally absolved of said illegal activity? 'Rona 'Rona, J's got 'Rona.  Tell her she's smart and maybe she'll bone ya.

Mustard Pot 08.09.2022

What can you even do with a broken toe? We we dip our toes into the welcoming NIL waters. South Carolina and New Mexico go toe-to-toe in man's most important contest. Finally, we fail to toe the line and introduce a game nobody at home can really play along with. Brother Date! Who's into feet?

Zorro's Brother 25.08.2022

On this week's Brother Date ... I'm morally certain Voyager is a two-parter this week, or maybe I only watched the second half of the episode? Doctor Crusher is trying out all the looks on TNG , but do any of them work? DS9 is the critical darling of the Star Trek universe, but did Red Dwarf just do it better?

Singleton 18.08.2022

Was there ever a dare Matthew wouldn't complete? Why did computers hate his father? Are mustaches like batteries in any meaningful way? There are three State Flags still in contention for a prestigious award. Are any of those three any good? Also, we've got a bad case of summer nostalgia, this week on Brother Date ! It's not 'rona.

Speaking For Gene 11.08.2022

This week, novelty chocolates take center stage as we discuss Voyager , we take a look at the sleepiest meats in the universe of Deep Space Nine , and find out what children really want from their adult playmates on TNG . Possibly the vilest episode of Brother Date yet!
