This week, Alice and Skyler are kicking off their month (save for last week, their mistake) of holiday-centric Side Trekked specials!! First up, they're discussing two Futurama Christmas episodes—S2E04, "Xmas Story," and S3E03, "A Tale of Two Santas." Together, they cover robots whose naughty/nice standards are too high, whether or not parents should be lying about their ability to get mail to Santa, where to get a good bread bowl in Burbank, playing in the major minor leagues, the joy of hearing people talk about what made them laugh, and much, much more! Listen!!

This week, Alice and Skyler are back to discuss saying things on podcasts, what really constitutes "beachfront" in this day and age, a restaurant Skyler likes (which Skyler found out after recording HAS CLOSED), making listeners become out of money, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode twenty five, "Body Parts." Topics include whether or not the writers nailed the Kira storyline this episode (they did not), what really went down with General David Petraeus' affair, email-wise, Alice's new rental car, Skyler loaning out his car to anyone who needs it, the crew of Deep Space Nine liking Quark after all, upcoming holiday "Side-Treks" episode plans, and much, much more!

This week, Alice and Skyler are back to discuss what the film Entrapment is REALLY about, the ways in which Alice is exactly like The Dodgers, scheduling schemes, the best way to deflate Cillian Murphy's big ole' ego, listener comments, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode twenty four, "The Quickening." Topics include whether or not this episode's a little callous regarding a real Star Trek production employee's death, Bashir taking a disease by the horns and not getting any help on it at all, jokes about parenthood from two non-parents, the joys of discussing a good sandwich, when Matteo Lane knew what, and much, much more!
