Activity request: who would they be in Star Trek? Method: me and Brad should take a shot at it, and you two should grade us Response context: We're down a thousand so far. Activity description: So before we jump into the Frasier episode, we thought we might see how we would recast the Frasier characters into the Star Trek universe. So, well, I think Frasier's going to be Mott the Barber. Oh, boy. Was that your Curtis impression? That was my Curtis impression. I mean, it's pre-anchored, but do I never pull that out? I feel like I've done that. What are we doing, Curtis? First of all, this is your idea. Second of all. That's before I knew what the episode was about. Yeah. So of the Frasier cast characters, who would they be in Star Trek? I'm so glad you're asking the two guys that know literally nothing about Star Trek. Well, I'm asking my brother as well, who knows a lot. I know way too much about Star Trek. I was going to say, me and Brad should take a shot at it, and you two should grade us and tell us what the real answers are. That's a great idea. I like that. I like that. I would like to go first, because I really only know one character on Star Trek. You know more than one character on Star Trek. I don't know about that. You might not know any from this. You know Mott the Barber? Mott the Barber? And I don't even know their character's name. I just knew Whoopi Goldberg was on it. Yep. She's right. I am excited to find out who Whoopi Goldberg is. Like, which Frasier character you're going to cast is Whoopi Goldberg. Oh, that's... Oh, all right. Are you ready? We're ready. I don't know if the world's ready, but I'm ready. Yeah. I mean, no, obviously it's Gil. You can't play coy once you've been caught traipsing around bad billies. I got no sympathy for you, bitch. Who? What? Gil. Who's Gil? Gil Chesterton. Jumby all the way to the end of the episode. He's the guy who winds up going into the gay bar at the end. Yeah. Oh. Do you understand the assignment? Yeah. No, clearly they're the same person. Who's the same person? I want to say this. Even discounting Star Trek, in what way is he like Whoopi Goldberg? Oh, you don't know Whoopi then. You don't know Whoopi. Please explain. I don't think you do.

Ending or payoff: Well, that was enough of that terrible bit. Activity description: Uh, another one that I will share.

Ending or payoff: Well, that was enough of that terrible bit. Activity description: Uh, another one that I will share. So there's a character called Tasha Yar, and she's a badass female character who was criminally underused and only lasted for part of a season. So I would cast her as Ronnie. Oh, nice. Yeah, that makes sense. Never forget I died doing exactly what I chose to do. All right, let's just say I didn't have the best lipo guy, okay? Is anyone just pregnant floating around in space and also doesn't have any use? Counselor Troy. How do you think it feels to sit and listen to someone whine about themselves all the time? Good. All right, Daphne, we're set. I forgot about Daphne, but since Frasier forgets about Daphne as well, I think that Troy is a good choice. On brand. Nice. Well, that was enough of that terrible bit. Should we get into the episode?
