My friends, the great experiment.

The crew doesn't hate the ex-sole and he's not doing his job.

Good hunting is what you say.

It's part of the pattern, part of the plan.

Are they the lucky ones?

That's what you're thinking, isn't it?

Welcome to Greatest Trek.

It's a new Star Trek podcast from the makers of the Greatest Generation, except today it's

Hot Silent Summer. Today and many weeks recently has been that. I'm Adam Pranica. I'm Ben Harrison enjoying this hot

silent summer. I had out-of-town friends come over for the weekend. I know I

didn't say anything on the show. I know a big big deal is made

whenever I mention the potential for out-of-town guests.

Well you don't want to tell people too early because what if they change their plans you know I mean what if I change the plan

might not be ready yeah exactly you ever need a vacation from your out-of-town friend's vacation?

Really went for it, Ben.

I think any time my friends come to visit me especially my long suffering Seattle

friends I want to show them a good time right I want to show them the best time

possible that often includes over indulging.

Sure, I mean the food and the drink.

You're a famous enjoyer of all of the gustatory delights that LA has to offer and a great tour guide when it comes to those things for somebody who doesn't have ready access to them.

Friends were game.

Friends are really game.
