| 0:00.0 | Hey there, Improvised Star Trek listeners, this is Chris Ratchen, and I'm happy to be able to share with you a special lost episode from the Improvised Star Trek archives, The Three Pip Club. |
| 0:14.5 | This episode was recorded in early 2013. Now, as we've mentioned before, sometimes an episode will not get produced because of |
| 0:21.9 | technical difficulties, and that was the case with this one. About the halfway point, Sean |
| 0:26.6 | Kelly's microphone cuts out. Now, often if an episode has troubles like that, but it really |
| 0:32.9 | makes us laugh, we'll have a cast member re-record their lines. But this episode was recorded in the |
| 0:37.9 | middle of a stretch of great episodes, including today's Good Day to Cry, Embarrasseri, and |
| 0:44.1 | Miss Isiscivus, and it just got lost in the shuffle of great episodes that required no |
| 0:49.6 | re-recording. But we're happy to be able to share it with you now, including those re-recorded lines, which Sean provided on September 26, 2015. The episode also includes a soundtrack |
| 1:01.1 | with environmental noise and music, which was provided live by Dan Granada, the day of recording. |
| 1:07.0 | You'll have heard Dan's handiwork if you've listened to any of our live streaming podcast episodes |
| 1:12.5 | including our 100th episode mailbag the day that we recorded this episode was Dan's first |
| 1:19.0 | test run of providing podcast audio live and we're happy you can enjoy the touches that he added |
| 1:26.2 | to this episode. |
| 1:28.7 | Uh, well, that's it with no further ado. |
| 1:31.4 | Please enjoy, uh, this episode, the Three Pit Club, |
| 1:35.5 | improvised February 3rd, 2013, from a suggestion by Justin Kavanaugh. |
| 1:40.6 | And as always, thanks for listening. |
| 1:51.0 | Music Cabin'all. And as always, thanks for listening. And rolling. Ah, Commander Hayes, so good to see you again. Welcome back. We haven't seen you in this part of space in a while. Oh, well, you know, we've been out on patrol, but you know, whenever I can get back to Starbase 22, I always try to pop in. |
| 2:10.6 | All right, well, and you know this is just a formality, but I just need you to say what the password is to get in. |
| 2:18.4 | Pip, pip. |
| 2:19.9 | Pip. |
| 2:21.1 | And go right in, Commander. |
