Part 1!
Originated on Qo’nos by K’Lick & K’Lack, the Bat’leth Brothers.
I’ve never played a game of D&D in my life but I’m happy to let my nerd flag flag because I fully understood these references.
Also whoever dreamed up “Car Talk with Martok” is a bloody genius.
Don’t kill like my brother
and don’t kill like MY brother
Recorded over the ferengi offices of Dewie, Cheetem, and Howe
Makes me think of a klingon that’s a weeb for earth culture “On average the cars that earthlings made are far superior”
“kahless unforgettable you literally travel farther in a day than all the cars humans ever made have ever traveled.”
“But look at these VALVES!”
In steps the vulcan and also earth nerd “That is an illogical comparison, you must account for equivalent level of technology and by that metric human automobiles out perform all others in nearly every important field.”
And they obsess over really unusual stuff, like the particular way we assembled gear boxes.
I like the idea that he just wants to talk about cars, but he keeps getting called by B&B nerds
I do hope Tom Paris calls in at one point though
Or maybe one of the 47s. “My truck has been floating through space for 100s of years, and something seems to be wrong with the exhaust…”
Well it turns out someone did call in for car help. A particular Captain. Why not check it out in a few moments as I post Part 2 lol
Genius, blue I mean more car talk with martok
Another crossover I didn’t know I needed! If this post sparked some Car Talk nostalgia for anyone else, might I recommend the excellent podcast Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone. No overt connection, just vibes-based.
Aaaand I’ve post-it noted it. Which as someone with ADHD? That’s the highest honor I can give you. I’ll be listening to it later when my eyes notice it, panic, and then realize I was supposed to listen to it ages ago so I scramble to listen to it while doing something else.
You can also listen to car talk reruns on your favorite podcast app.
It is time for my brother to admit he does not remember this week’s Trial of Intelligence.
Don’t
drivefly like my brother!And don’t
drivefly like MY brother!
