Happy 55th Birthday, Star Trek! In honor of what's being called #StarTrekDay, Kalid & Joe take a trip back to 1966 and into the final frontier. Joined by frequent guest-host, Nicole Praska, the crew talk about the first Star Trek episode to premiere on television and its featured creature, the salt vampire!
