This week, John and Olivia were joined by the magnificent, hilarious and infamously outrageous John Billingsley (Star Trek Enterprise's Dr Phlox), and instead of talking about Precious Cargo, descend into a wild ride through some of the best anecdotes from Billingsley's Star Trek career. Don't worry about the Episode. Even the writers thought this one was too bad to be on TV.
