Summary
The hosts of Newcomers, Lauren Lapkus and Nicole Byer, have turned their fandom curiosities to Star Trek in this podcast crossover. Watch the Deep Space Nine episode “In the Cards” and join us for a hilarious conversation that asks important questions like: Why have an auction if there’s no money? Is it cool for a child to sneak into a grown woman’s bedroom to steal a teddy bear? Why is baseball the chosen sport of the 24th Century? And, apropos to nothing, why does Data look like that?!

| 0:18.0 | I am one of your host, Paul F. Tompkins. |
| 0:27.4 | I'm the other one of your host. I'm Tawny Newsom. This is the podcast. I think we've decided where we eventually talk about Star Trek. |
| 0:42.8 | Yeah. Sometimes we stop talking about Star Trek to just chat and hang with our friends, as you'll hear in this interview. And then sometimes we bring it back to Star Trek. So there's a lot of both Trek Talk and non-Trek talk. Yes. We have, oh, our guests today are so much fun. They are friends of ours. |
| 0:48.4 | People we've known and played with for a long time. Nicole Beyer and Lauren Lapkis, you have probably seen Nicole and Lauren on your television. Nicole, of course, is one of the hosts of Nailed It on Netflix. |

| 1:45.7 | person to show them things all the time. I want to be like, watch this thing with me that you've |
| 1:49.1 | never seen, because they are such a delight. They ask questions. They don't mind, you know, |
