JJ and Tucker turn the microphone toward artificial intelligence, podcast SEO, ChatGPT, privacy, Star Trek, banking, cash, Myspace, social media, and one unforgettable Yoo-hoo story. That leads into a deeper conversation about AI privacy, personalization, search history, digital memory, and the strange intimacy of telling an artificial intelligence things you might not want anyone else to read. Tucker connects the moment to Star Trek: The Next Generation, especially the Professor Moriarty holodeck episodes, and the way science fiction imagined conversational computers, artificial consciousness, and digital beings trapped inside machines. From there, JJ and Tucker move into money, banks, credit cards, data, and whether physical bank branches still have a future. They talk about cash, coins, pennies, Ninja Turtle coin banks, gold, diamonds, street value versus insurable value, the stock market, ringing the New York Stock Exchange bell, and the history of being given a key to the city. Finally, JJ and Tucker close things out with Yoo-hoo, Warped Tour, a truly cursed chugging contest, Malcolm in the Middle, Bryan Cranston's roller-skating intensity, and JJ's firm declaration that he is never building another deck again. It's a wide-ranging JJ Meets World episode about AI, podcasting, privacy, money, nostalgia, social media, Star Trek, physical cash, and the weird future that somehow already arrived.

Captains on the Bridge! Lesley and Ben board the USS Enterprise to talk about Star Trek the Next Generation! The sequel series to the Gene Roddenberry written Star Trek The Original Series, Star Trek: the Next Generation covers the adventures and missions of the USS Enterprise, a federation exploratory and diplomatic starship captained by Jean Luc Picard and staffed by a wide variety of humans and aliens from across the futuristic federation. Together they boldly go where no one has gone before, solving diplomatic crisis, encountering new lifeforms and new civilizations, and intervening when mad gods and extradimensional creatures interfere with reality. We're starting off our new season of Syndicated with Lesley and Ben by analyzing our favorite science-fiction shows. Ray guns, alternate dimensions, robot butlers and planetary fleets. Science fiction is a lens through which we can view all other issues. We picked a Lt. Commander Data episode and, therefore, a VERY topical episode. Plus, we get to spend time with our good friend, Data, Geordi, Riker, Picard, Worf, and Counselor Troi. Dr. Pulaski is there too! Good for her! In Season 2, Episode 3's Elementary, My Dear Data, the USS Enterprise arrives at its destination days ahead of schedule, leaving Lt. Commander Data and Lt. Geordi La Forge with time to kill. The two roleplay as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson inside the holodeck, a futuristic chamber on board the Enterprise that can create illusionary settings. When the mysteries the computer samples are too easy for Data, Geordi commands the computer to create an opponent capable of defeating his android crewmate. What the Enterprise manufacturers prove perilous to the whole ship.. Plus, conversations about 80s and 90s optimism and design sensibilities, the Enterprise's carpet, artificial intelligence and androids. Syndicated with Lesley and Ben is a monthly podcast about television, genre and storytelling in which your hosts watch one episode of a new show and explore the history of television one episode at a time. From family room sitcoms to space exploration shows, reality TV to procedurals and game shows, we're going to cover it all and give you the context you need to understand the wonderful world of television and the stories we love. Our current season is Science Fiction. Our Logo is by Terra Bosart, the theme song is by Mandra Sigma and the show is edited by Ben Hamlin.

Following last week's look at the earliest concepts for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Larry Nemecek welcomes back author and historian Ben Robinson to examine Gene Roddenberry's handwritten response and the surprising conversation it sparked. Revisiting documents first explored in earlier seasons of The Trek Files, Larry and Ben trace the pivotal weeks of September 1986, when Gene challenged early ideas for a Starfleet Academy-centered series, questioned the show's heavy emphasis on Klingons, and argued that Star Trek's true strength had never been its characters alone but the stories it told. Some of Gene's observations proved remarkably prescient. Others reveal how his own thinking had evolved since the 1960s. Together, they paint a portrait of a franchise at a crossroads, just weeks before The Next Generation officially became the series we know today.

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker stretch their way into a nostalgic conversation about Presidential Fitness Tests, elementary school gym class, sit and reach records, pull-ups, push-ups, shuttle runs, the nine-minute run, childhood fitness trauma, shoes, Slip 'N Slide memories, and classic toys from the '90s. The episode begins with stretching, lower-back flexibility, and a debate over whether Jill really held a Traill County sit and reach record. From there, JJ and Tucker revisit the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, including curl-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, shuttle runs, V-sit reaches, mile times, and the cruel reality of being a kid who liked X-Men and Star Trek: The Next Generation more than running laps in gym class. They also remember intimidating gym teachers, carpeted school gyms, questionable cone placement during the nine-minute run, and the strange freedom of adulthood: nobody can make you run around the block anymore unless they have kidnapped your mom. The conversation then detours into old campout memories, vegan hypotheticals, face tattoos, and whether you would permanently alter your body to save someone you love. JJ also launches into a passionate shoe review, explaining why he hated his Skechers, why he separated them into different garbage cans, and why Hoka shoes have become his favorite shoes of all time. Tucker and JJ also talk about Hey Dude shoes, running shoes for walking, rocker-bottom toning shoes, and the difference between comfort and gimmick. Finally, the episode dives into childhood toy nostalgia with Moon Shoes, Skip-It, Slip 'N Slide, Crocodile Mile, and Wham-O. JJ recalls working at a festival where people built a giant improvised Slip 'N Slide using a tarp, dish soap, buckets of water, a steep hill, hard-packed earth, and eventually a baby pool—creating one of the best and most dangerous days of his life. It's a funny, nostalgic JJ Meets World episode about gym class trauma, childhood fitness standards, comfortable shoes, bad shoes, classic toys, questionable safety decisions, and the weird physical memories that stick with you forever.

So you like watching TNG for some light entertainment? You are so out of luck this time because it's “Chain of Command, Part 2” on this all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast, and it's coming at you right about … NOW!Last time on Star Trek: The Next Generation, our beloved Capt. Jean-Luc Picard was replaced as captain of the Enterprise by one Edward Jellico, a hard-ass, uncompromising martinet. Intent on turning the D into a warship, Jellico alienated the Hell out of our beloved crew with his exacting orders. His distinct lack of warmth got Number One's panties in a bunch, and it doesn't get better in this episode. Jellico and Riker's antipathy explodes when it's revealed our Jean-Luc is a prisoner of the Cardassians, and Jellico seems indifferent to Picard's plight! Picard was captured last episode when he, Bev, and Worf attempted to infiltrate a Cardassian base. Little did they know the whole mission was a trap set up to snare Picard! Back aboard the D, Data's the new Number One, and Riker is left pouting in his quarters. But as nasty as things are on the Enterprise, they're even nastier in Gul Madred's office where Jean-Luc faces one of his greatest battles. Will Picard have the will to withstand his captors? Will Data get used to that red uniform? Will Riker finally go be captain somewhere else?

Noel catches up with Elizabeth Dennehy. The actress is best known for portraying Lt. Commander Shelby in the Star Trek: The Next Generation two-part episode, "The Best of Both Worlds." The season three finale is considered one of the greatest cliffhangers in television history. Trekkies consider "The Best of Both Worlds" to be one of the greatest TNG episodes. Elizabeth finally returned to Star Trek in season three of Star Trek: Picard as Admiral Shelby. Elizabeth also had a recurred role on Charmed. Seinfeld fans will remember her as Allison aka "The Drakette." Elizabeth was recently seen in Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter One.

Before Captain Picard. Before the Enterprise-D. Before Gene Roddenberry stepped back into the captain's chair of his own creation... This week on The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek is joined by author and Star Trek historian Ben Robinson to examine one of the earliest surviving documents in the development of Star Trek: The Next Generation: a September 1986 memo from writer Greg Strangis to producer Rick Berman outlining the first concepts for a new Star Trek television series. The document reveals some fascinating ideas: a Starfleet Academy setting, a young captain, a Klingon observer serving aboard a Federation starship, familiar themes of friendship, diplomacy, and the Prime Directive, but viewed through the lens of Cold War politics and 1980s television. Together, Larry and Ben explore why some of these ideas disappeared, why others evolved into the Next Generation we know today, and how the process of reinventing Star Trek began long before Gene Roddenberry ultimately reshaped the concept himself.

Together, Larry and Ben explore why some of these ideas disappeared, why others evolved into the Next Generation we know today, and how the process of reinventing Star Trek began long before Gene Roddenberry ultimately reshaped the concept himself.

When the Hale-Bopp comet swung past Earth in 1997, thirty-nine people put on matching black shirts and brand-new Nikes, swallowed a lethal mix of barbiturates and vodka, and lay down beneath purple shrouds to die — certain their souls were about to board the alien ship they believed was hiding in the comet's tail.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/heavensgateREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/343j2ju2FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Following an anonymous tip, police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, California, and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide. The deceased–21 women and 18 men of varying ages–were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the “Heaven's Gate” religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily “containers” and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet. *** PLUS, the creepy true-crime story of two men who were caught trying to steal the body of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 28, 2021Weird Darkness runs from the 1997 mass suicide of the Heaven's Gate UFO cult outside San Diego to an 1876 counterfeiting gang's attempt to steal Abraham Lincoln's corpse from his tomb in Springfield, Illinois.It opens with the discovery, on March 26, 1997, of thirty-nine members of Heaven's Gate inside a rented mansion in the San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe — twenty-one women and eighteen men lying beneath purple shrouds in matching black shirts and new black-and-white Nike sneakers, plastic bags over their heads, after swallowing phenobarbital and vodka. They believed the deaths would free their souls to board an alien spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet, which was making its closest approach to Earth that month. Former music professor Marshall Applewhite had started the group in 1975 with his nurse Bonnie Lu Nettles, the two of them renaming themselves Bo and Peep and later Do and Ti before persuading about twenty people in Oregon to leave their families and wait in eastern Colorado for a ship that never arrived. Applewhite preached that human bodies were disposable containers, that he was the second coming of Jesus, and that God was an alien. Nettles died in 1985, but he held the group together, and by the 1990s it had become the first well-known internet-era cult, paying its bills by building web pages under the business name Higher Source. The members watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, sewed Heaven's Gate Away Team patches onto their uniforms, severed contact with relatives through a practice Applewhite called breaking away, and submitted to a ban on sex that several of the men, Applewhite among them, enforced on themselves through castration.The episode closes with the 1876 plot to steal Abraham Lincoln's body from his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. A Chicago counterfeiting ring run by James "Big Jim" Kneally had lost its master engraver, Benjamin Boyd, to a ten-year term in Joliet Penitentiary, so the gang resolved to seize the president's corpse and ransom it for Boyd's freedom. On election night, November 7, 1876, gang members Terence Mullen and Jack Hughes filed through the lock and split the marble sarcophagus with an ax, unaware that the grave robber they knew as Jim Morrissey was Secret Service operative Lewis Swegles, and that Captain Patrick Tyrell's agents and Pinkerton detectives hired by Robert Lincoln were hidden elsewhere in the monument. The trap fell apart when the lawmen fired on one another in the dark and the two robbers wandered off and escaped, though both were captured on November 18 and, with grave robbery barely a crime in Illinois at the time, served only a year in Joliet. What the public would not learn for years was that custodian John C. Power and a secret brotherhood calling itself the Lincoln Guard of Honor had already dragged the five-hundred-pound coffin into a damp labyrinth beneath the monument and buried it under loose boards and dirt, leaving visitors to grieve over an empty sarcophagus. The body was shifted from hiding place to hiding place until 1901, when Robert Lincoln ordered his father's casket lowered ten feet, locked inside a steel cage, and sealed under two tons of concrete, following one last viewing in which Leon P. Hopkins, the plumber who had closed the coffin back in 1865, studied a chalk-whitened but recognizable face and soldered the lead shut for good.
