Hello, my name is Tawny Newsom. I play Beckett Mariner on Star Trek Lower Decks.

I am Paul F. Tompkins and I play Dr. Migglymo on Star Trek Lower Decks.

But more importantly, we're just a couple of Star Trek nerds who are excited because we finally get to talk about Star Trek again with all of you.

And we will be featuring Deep Space Nine guests to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.

We're gonna be talking Picard Season 3 with members of the original of the next generation cast.

Listen to Star Trek The Pod Directive wherever you get your podcasts.

And I hope you folks enjoy this interview with Brad.

All right folks, it is that time in the podcast where we get to introduce and interview in all Star.

This guy is a star in my eyes. The man with the large beard. One time challenge champ. 11 time

challenger. Welcome Brad. He runs into the cast everyone.

Thank you so much for having me, ladies. I'm excited to be here.

Oh Brad, it's been an incredible season watching you. Like you are such a badass competitor.

And I mean, we're gonna dive into it more in the episode. But I hope you have your head high because

sometimes shit fucking happens when you're out there. Like,

and I'd like to know what happened. Are the hands that big?

That you can't tie and I need to know what's going on.

I will say it was it was the mixed bag of emotions watching this episode because

I remember how it felt and I knew watching this would be difficult.

It does have a lot to do with the hands. Ironically it up. Should we get into this now?

Can we do that? We're jumping in because it's fresh and it's right there.

Just cut my hand open on the challenge before this using a stairway getting out of the

cenote. So there was a woodscrew sticking out and I sliced my index finger on my right hand.
