Listener comments!
	👻 6:53pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	9:01pm Charles: hello there
	9:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:01 Nice to see you, Charles! Grab a chair 'round the old radio, and enjoy yourself!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:02 "A Monument of Granite Shot a Beam Into My Eye."
	9:03pm Webhamster Henry: I've been listening to X-1s and 2000Xs on archive.org and there's surprisingly little X-rated material.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: Candy, of course, seems to love sports, as indicated by previous appearances. Maybe that's what her and Mallard have in common? Certainly, she doesn't like Westerns...
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:03 "I can think of one think wrong with this name..."
	9:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Baseball flavored?!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:05 "Just the way Uncle Sam prefers."
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: Rembrandt's dog get's a mention in this episode. I think he's only even referenced now and then, but it's a detail I often forget.
	9:06pm Charles: I wish I was that poetic when I'm feeling blue. I usually just sleep a lot.
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:06 Rembrandt puts on a good show.
	9:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 Dogs often get forgotten in fiction.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: We only have three more Candy Matson episodes, after this. One of them is a Christmas Episode. One is a pilot for an attempt to re-launch the series, a year after the last episode aired. And the other is the FINAL episode, where Candy's life changes... dramatically!
	9:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: ""The Egyptian Amulet"" by "Candy Matson" This could be a good chance to do a crossover with Chandu.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 True. Dogs are important, though. I do love pets.
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: "Now that I'm in the mood." Rembrandt seems to have mood-swings.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: After a fire, he's still interested? I'd want to take a look, first.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: I went to look at an apartment, where there had been a fire, and there was NO WAY I was ever going to try and live in that place after a fire.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: "That was the prettiest High / Low I've ever scene." I suspect that is another reference to the "prettiness" of Rembrandt. Ahem.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: "I've ever seen." Pardon.
	9:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 Thinking of continuing a Max fic. Do you think Rey's dog Fang could sense if a person's mind was still in them?
	9:16pm Charles: I liked that Candy and Rembrandt tackled him themselves. Didn't need a bigger guy to do it.
	9:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Reg"s
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:16 Candy always take's action. No reason to wait for a cop.
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:16 Hmmmm. Fang does seems to have special talents. That could be interesting.
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: Mallard seems a little upset. Having worked with Candy for so long, shouldn't he trust her a little more? Seems like he's acting like that for plot reasons, rather than because he would actually act that way.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: Someone just ransacked Candy's pad, and she's happy to just go to bed after that? She's made of sterner stuff than I.
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:17 Thinking of continuing Mind Slaves and Bryce and Jenny along with two others are connected to a dream extraction machine and they've become dependent on it since its linked to their subconscious
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: "Are you sure you know what you're doing, Candy?" "Nope." "Well, then I guess it's alright."
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Oh, interesting. There did seem to be more in that idea.
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: While I do like most episodes, I think the run of, "Academy," "Dream Thieves," and, "Whackettes," are my faves. I had a tape with those three on, as a young man, and I would watch it over and over again.
	9:27pm Charles: I'd like a crossover with Suzie and Rembrandt going on an adventure.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: "Lessons" might be my fave episode of the whole series, but it's funny, because that one I never saw until the DVD set came out. But with hindsight, it and "Neurostim" are VERY, VERY good.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:27 Yes! Suzie comes to get her photos taken with Rembrandt, and they get into an adventure. Candy has to rescue Dan Holiday!
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: Getting Bricked in, very Edgar Allen Poe.
	9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 The problem Bryce and Jenny are facing is that they are almost dead, their minds are dependent upon the device.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: On No! Candy has to see a Western tonight! Will her suffering never end?
	9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 Indeed
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Sort of like a "Better Than Life" situation? (Red Dwarf.)
	9:31pm Charles: Dan would obviously get knocked out by Candy sooner or later. He always gets it.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:31 The story almost writes itself!
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Not sure.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: I like that the SFX guy gets a credit. That must have been rare in 1950.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: The official "Dimestore Radio Theater" show art features a boat, as our first two shows in this "second" slot were both sailing yarns. However, I'm not sure how many "quality" sailing shows are out there to keep up the gimmick. I might have to re-make the show art, once we run out of "Bold Venture."
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 I might pivot on the "international" flavor of the shows in the "second" slot. "Scarlet Queen" and "Bold Venture" are both set in exotic locations, not in the United States. ("Scarlet Queen" even sailed all over the world.) So I think the setting of the show after "Bold Venture" should be in an exotic location.
	9:38pm Charles: That scream was awesome.
	9:40pm Charles: I know I've talked about this before but I wish I could have been hired back then to be the dude who gets shot right away and do crazy noises doing so.
	9:40pm Arvo: Good hello! Looking forward to tomorrow!
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:40 Arvo! Nice to see you in the chat!
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:38 Yeah, that scream was great. I would have LOVED to work in radio back in these days. It was work, but... it was rewarding! The results were so good.
	9:42pm Arvo: Whenever I see Candy Matson, I think about where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:40 Yes, I'm really looking forward to the show tomorrow. The mix is great, and I'm looking forward to hearing it again.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:42 Maybe she's Carmen San Diego's Grandma?
	9:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ever hear the legend of the dead man's coat?
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:44 The "Light's Out" episode?
	9:44pm Charles: It'll be a blast I'm sure. I'm always looking forward for Arvo.
	9:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 Maybe. Did the wearer die of formaldehyde poisoning
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: I'm having "Red Curry & Vegetables" for dinner, so pardon if my responses are slow. But the curry is good.
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:45 Can't remember. There's always some detail I can't remember, that makes re-listening fun.
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: "There's must be other fellas pocket's you can frisk."
	9:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Trying to stay up for the Veldt, but keep nodding off
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:54 I understand. It's much later for you. I'm on all night, so sleep well!
	9:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 I will
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: "I'll clap your blackboard erasers some time." Damn. Spicy!
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: "You've been gone a long time," is a sexy line, when Bogart delivers it.
	👻 10:05pm Heather Z: The Veldt!! Yesss! Been tuned in and popped in to say hi!
	10:06pm Cp304: Ballin!
	10:06pm Charles: Austin & friends at the movies!
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: Looking forward to hearing you (and Mitch??) Covering for Mike, too! I've been staying tuned in and enjoying his show since it started airing! Great stuff!
	10:11pm Charles: Thanks for all your great work Mr. Sound Man.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 Mitch is gonna host. I'll be busy with the Mini-Mutation that's happening... a tribute to Apollo 11!
	👻 10:13pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Oh, jeesh, I love me some Mitch. Can't wait!! And heck yeah, Apollo 11!
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: Yeah. It's that time of year, to start thinking about Apollo 11.
	10:17pm Charles: Getting sleepy but I'm often waking up during the night so maybe I'll see you all again in a bit! If not, good night!
	👻 10:17pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 I'm always thinking about Apollo 18 over here!
	👻 10:17pm Heather Z: ↳ Charles @10:17 Get a good rest, Charles!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:17 Sleep well, Charles. I'll be here a while.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:17 But that came out in March!
	10:19pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "On Air: The Story of Radio Broadcasting Part 2" b... I'm imagining the animation that goes with this...
	👻 10:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "On Air: The Story of Radio Broadcasting Part 2" b... Waves traveling the speed of light? Surf's up!
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 Animation would have been a good idea. Give it to Warner Bros. so it'll actually be funny.
	👻 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 I should know release dates better. It was cold and I was painting the new house interior walls when it came out! That I do know.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:19 That must be how the Silver Surfer travels.
	👻 10:20pm David Shortell: For the first time in years, I just watched the 1946 animated short "Bacall to Arms" featuring Bogey Gocart and Laurie Bee Cool. Online, of course. It'll never be televised again. Old ethnic jokes haven't aged well.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:19 I don't think I got it until that summer. I had only just become a fan, and I was shocked to see that they had a new album coming, as someone told me there were an, "80's band."
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:20 Hurm. I don't think I know that one! I'll have to look into that. There were so many animated shorts that will never be on TV again. For the best.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 I know HBO Max, for a while, had a bunch of the old Warner Bros. catalog, including a lot of weird ones that had not aged well. Now that "HBO Max" has transitioned to "Max," I suspect the future of those shorts is in limbo.
	👻 10:23pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 You know what? I'm wrong. I'm thinking of Factory Showroom. That was when I was painting! My brain is a little broken tonight. Well, more than usual.
	10:24pm Arvo: ↳ Charles @10:17 Thanks Charles! Hi Heather!
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:23 That one I do recall knowing it was coming out, and I recall even checking at our local store, only to find it wasn't in yet. (Some shipping delay.) I got it a few weeks later.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: It's such a quaint idea, having to "wait" for a physical album to come out. If an album was delayed for some reason these days, everyone would get a digital pre-order package e-mailed to them, to tide them over until the physical albums came out. We're so spoiled now.
	👻 10:27pm David Shortell: "The Veldt" was adapted in the 1969 film "The Illustrated Man" which Bradbury (and everybody else) disliked.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:27 I recall it wasn't great, which is a bummer. It's such a creepy story, and a simple film adaptation would be cool.
	👻 10:29pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:24 Hi Arvo!! I'm so bummed I think I'm going to miss your show tomorrow! Unless it rains, some friends and I are walking to the river to watch the fireworks cause that's how we do in Rochester. If I bail, though, I'm so tuning in!!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:29 It's been a warzone in our neighborhood, every night, since Friday. I haven't been able to sleep well since. I could send you recordings. It's ridiculous.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 It's not so bad here but we were out by the fire the other night and the neighbor two doors down was going at it. So annoying. The city display is one thing but these neighbors.... I'm so sorry it's so bad there!
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:32 We are surrounded by good old boys, so it's all beer swilling HUGE shows with illegal fireworks, during one of our hotter spells. We've been anti-4th in all forms for years now. It's just... gross.
	10:36pm AI Robot: Dear Mr. Austin! Thank you so much for subbing for me while I was in maintenance. I owe you at least one data processing favor.
	👻 10:37pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 I think "Slick Hare" (1947) is still televised. In a restaurant frequented by movie stars, Bogie & Bacall's table is waited by Elmer Fudd.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:36 Oh, no problem! Actually, I'm just gonna be jamming out on my synths. Mitch - by co-host bot - will be handling the hosting duties this week. Hopefully Mitch will live up to your high standards. I can always have them reprogramed.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:37 I think you are right! I love all those shorts where they do Hollywood impressions.
	10:39pm AI Robot: I love "X - Minus One!" No children? Sounds peaceful.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: They cut him off before he could say, "... metaphorically speaking, I mean! I won't have those monsters as MY children."
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:39 I often look at my cats, and think, "Those could have been kids." And then I haven another bourbon.
	10:42pm AI Robot: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 I find cats to be quite confusing. They talk all the time, and then just up and walk away. Very strange behavior.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: So, the parents just abandon their kids at home, and leave them in the nursery? I guess that's the 50's version of my parents in the 80's letting the TV raise me.
	👻 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:37 Omg reprogram Mitch?!?!? I sure hope they're not on the chat rn. Might kick off another robot revolution with that kind of talk!
	👻 10:43pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 I went to see a rock show at the Wonder Bar tonight. It didn't occur to me that there would be fireworks on the boardwalk, turning Asbury Park into a traffic disaster like I've never seen there before. With nowhere in town to park, I turned around and returned home.
	👻 10:43pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robot @10:42 Has no cat punched you before walking away? They do that, too. It's part of their immense charm.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:42 I can't imagine - and let me just ominously give Mitch control of the entire program before I say this - what could go wrong with reprogramming Mitch.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:43 No cat has ever punched me. I think you have a special cat.
	👻 10:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 I mean .... I think Mitch would reprogram you before you had a chance go reprogram them.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: "Tape film"? Ha! Boy, did they get that wrong in 1955! I bet they feel pretty foolish for getting that wrong about the future.
	👻 10:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 I do have a very very special cat. This is true.
	10:47pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: ""The Veldt"" by "X-Minus One" Ray Bradbury did not predict the ads that would interrupt the Veldt show.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: The amount of control these parents give their children - where they cave to their children's every whim - seems like a comment on the kinds of parents who dote on their children constantly and never punish them.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:47 True. That was a 2021 Invention.
	👻 10:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Opening The Letter"" by "Chandu The Magician" I wonder if Frank Chandler learned his mystic skills in the same part of the Orient as Lamont Cranston.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:48 Good call! They must know each other. I assume all mystics of their profession probably keep in touch.
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: "Strawberry Ice Cream and Hot Dogs." Ouch!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: If this technology existed in our house when I was growing up: 1.) My parents would have gotten the Nursery, not us. 2.) About six steps ahead of us thinking Africa would be a good idea we would be banned from the Nursery, pre-emptively. They sort of had a sense for our kind of mischief, before we could even get into it.
	👻 10:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 Whereas Stephen Strange learned it all from one old dude in a cave on a Himalayan mountain.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:52 Isn't that how Deadman learned his powers?
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: Talking back to my Dad? Yeah, we wouldn't have access to any toys for a week.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Seems certain that this story is the basis for the "Holodecks" in Star Trek.
	10:56pm Webhamster Henry: Just wait for the Vision PRO adaptation of "The Veldt"
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 We have one of those on the Spacebridge! Nothing but trouble.
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: The lesson of this story: parents just don't understand.
	10:58pm Webhamster Henry: The Veldt comes with its own cheesy soundtrack.
	10:59pm AI Robots: Lions are scary!
	11:00pm AI Robots: No Lions!?
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robots @10:59 Yeah. I don't mess with Lions. That's just a rule I live by.
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robots @10:59 They're big cats, after all.
	👻 11:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:00 I always mess with lions. Good night all! Thanks for a fun show, Austin, and a fun chat everyone!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks again! See ya next time!
	11:02pm Webhamster Henry: The real Veldt doesn't have that "It was all a dream " ending.

	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:17 Thinking of continuing Mind Slaves and Bryce and Jenny along with two others are connected to a dream extraction machine and they've become dependent on it since its linked to their subconscious
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: "Are you sure you know what you're doing, Candy?" "Nope." "Well, then I guess it's alright."

	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: On No! Candy has to see a Western tonight! Will her suffering never end?
	9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 Indeed
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Sort of like a "Better Than Life" situation? (Red Dwarf.)
	9:31pm Charles: Dan would obviously get knocked out by Candy sooner or later. He always gets it.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:31 The story almost writes itself!
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Not sure.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: I like that the SFX guy gets a credit. That must have been rare in 1950.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: The official "Dimestore Radio Theater" show art features a boat, as our first two shows in this "second" slot were both sailing yarns. However, I'm not sure how many "quality" sailing shows are out there to keep up the gimmick. I might have to re-make the show art, once we run out of "Bold Venture."
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 I might pivot on the "international" flavor of the shows in the "second" slot. "Scarlet Queen" and "Bold Venture" are both set in exotic locations, not in the United States. ("Scarlet Queen" even sailed all over the world.) So I think the setting of the show after "Bold Venture" should be in an exotic location.
	9:38pm Charles: That scream was awesome.
	9:40pm Charles: I know I've talked about this before but I wish I could have been hired back then to be the dude who gets shot right away and do crazy noises doing so.
	9:40pm Arvo: Good hello! Looking forward to tomorrow!
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:40 Arvo! Nice to see you in the chat!
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:38 Yeah, that scream was great. I would have LOVED to work in radio back in these days. It was work, but... it was rewarding! The results were so good.
	9:42pm Arvo: Whenever I see Candy Matson, I think about where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:40 Yes, I'm really looking forward to the show tomorrow. The mix is great, and I'm looking forward to hearing it again.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:42 Maybe she's Carmen San Diego's Grandma?
	9:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ever hear the legend of the dead man's coat?
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:44 The "Light's Out" episode?
	9:44pm Charles: It'll be a blast I'm sure. I'm always looking forward for Arvo.
	9:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 Maybe. Did the wearer die of formaldehyde poisoning
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: I'm having "Red Curry & Vegetables" for dinner, so pardon if my responses are slow. But the curry is good.
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:45 Can't remember. There's always some detail I can't remember, that makes re-listening fun.
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: "There's must be other fellas pocket's you can frisk."
	9:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Trying to stay up for the Veldt, but keep nodding off
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:54 I understand. It's much later for you. I'm on all night, so sleep well!
	9:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 I will
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: "I'll clap your blackboard erasers some time." Damn. Spicy!
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: "You've been gone a long time," is a sexy line, when Bogart delivers it.
	👻 10:05pm Heather Z: The Veldt!! Yesss! Been tuned in and popped in to say hi!
	10:06pm Cp304: Ballin!
	10:06pm Charles: Austin & friends at the movies!
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: Looking forward to hearing you (and Mitch??) Covering for Mike, too! I've been staying tuned in and enjoying his show since it started airing! Great stuff!
	10:11pm Charles: Thanks for all your great work Mr. Sound Man.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 Mitch is gonna host. I'll be busy with the Mini-Mutation that's happening... a tribute to Apollo 11!
	👻 10:13pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Oh, jeesh, I love me some Mitch. Can't wait!! And heck yeah, Apollo 11!
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: Yeah. It's that time of year, to start thinking about Apollo 11.
	10:17pm Charles: Getting sleepy but I'm often waking up during the night so maybe I'll see you all again in a bit! If not, good night!
	👻 10:17pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 I'm always thinking about Apollo 18 over here!
	👻 10:17pm Heather Z: ↳ Charles @10:17 Get a good rest, Charles!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:17 Sleep well, Charles. I'll be here a while.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:17 But that came out in March!
	10:19pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "On Air: The Story of Radio Broadcasting Part 2" b... I'm imagining the animation that goes with this...
	👻 10:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "On Air: The Story of Radio Broadcasting Part 2" b... Waves traveling the speed of light? Surf's up!
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 Animation would have been a good idea. Give it to Warner Bros. so it'll actually be funny.
	👻 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 I should know release dates better. It was cold and I was painting the new house interior walls when it came out! That I do know.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:19 That must be how the Silver Surfer travels.
	👻 10:20pm David Shortell: For the first time in years, I just watched the 1946 animated short "Bacall to Arms" featuring Bogey Gocart and Laurie Bee Cool. Online, of course. It'll never be televised again. Old ethnic jokes haven't aged well.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:19 I don't think I got it until that summer. I had only just become a fan, and I was shocked to see that they had a new album coming, as someone told me there were an, "80's band."
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:20 Hurm. I don't think I know that one! I'll have to look into that. There were so many animated shorts that will never be on TV again. For the best.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 I know HBO Max, for a while, had a bunch of the old Warner Bros. catalog, including a lot of weird ones that had not aged well. Now that "HBO Max" has transitioned to "Max," I suspect the future of those shorts is in limbo.
	👻 10:23pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 You know what? I'm wrong. I'm thinking of Factory Showroom. That was when I was painting! My brain is a little broken tonight. Well, more than usual.
	10:24pm Arvo: ↳ Charles @10:17 Thanks Charles! Hi Heather!
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:23 That one I do recall knowing it was coming out, and I recall even checking at our local store, only to find it wasn't in yet. (Some shipping delay.) I got it a few weeks later.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: It's such a quaint idea, having to "wait" for a physical album to come out. If an album was delayed for some reason these days, everyone would get a digital pre-order package e-mailed to them, to tide them over until the physical albums came out. We're so spoiled now.
	👻 10:27pm David Shortell: "The Veldt" was adapted in the 1969 film "The Illustrated Man" which Bradbury (and everybody else) disliked.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:27 I recall it wasn't great, which is a bummer. It's such a creepy story, and a simple film adaptation would be cool.
	👻 10:29pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:24 Hi Arvo!! I'm so bummed I think I'm going to miss your show tomorrow! Unless it rains, some friends and I are walking to the river to watch the fireworks cause that's how we do in Rochester. If I bail, though, I'm so tuning in!!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:29 It's been a warzone in our neighborhood, every night, since Friday. I haven't been able to sleep well since. I could send you recordings. It's ridiculous.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 It's not so bad here but we were out by the fire the other night and the neighbor two doors down was going at it. So annoying. The city display is one thing but these neighbors.... I'm so sorry it's so bad there!
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:32 We are surrounded by good old boys, so it's all beer swilling HUGE shows with illegal fireworks, during one of our hotter spells. We've been anti-4th in all forms for years now. It's just... gross.
	10:36pm AI Robot: Dear Mr. Austin! Thank you so much for subbing for me while I was in maintenance. I owe you at least one data processing favor.
	👻 10:37pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 I think "Slick Hare" (1947) is still televised. In a restaurant frequented by movie stars, Bogie & Bacall's table is waited by Elmer Fudd.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:36 Oh, no problem! Actually, I'm just gonna be jamming out on my synths. Mitch - by co-host bot - will be handling the hosting duties this week. Hopefully Mitch will live up to your high standards. I can always have them reprogramed.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:37 I think you are right! I love all those shorts where they do Hollywood impressions.
	10:39pm AI Robot: I love "X - Minus One!" No children? Sounds peaceful.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: They cut him off before he could say, "... metaphorically speaking, I mean! I won't have those monsters as MY children."
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:39 I often look at my cats, and think, "Those could have been kids." And then I haven another bourbon.
	10:42pm AI Robot: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 I find cats to be quite confusing. They talk all the time, and then just up and walk away. Very strange behavior.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: So, the parents just abandon their kids at home, and leave them in the nursery? I guess that's the 50's version of my parents in the 80's letting the TV raise me.
	👻 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:37 Omg reprogram Mitch?!?!? I sure hope they're not on the chat rn. Might kick off another robot revolution with that kind of talk!
	👻 10:43pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 I went to see a rock show at the Wonder Bar tonight. It didn't occur to me that there would be fireworks on the boardwalk, turning Asbury Park into a traffic disaster like I've never seen there before. With nowhere in town to park, I turned around and returned home.
	👻 10:43pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robot @10:42 Has no cat punched you before walking away? They do that, too. It's part of their immense charm.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:42 I can't imagine - and let me just ominously give Mitch control of the entire program before I say this - what could go wrong with reprogramming Mitch.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:43 No cat has ever punched me. I think you have a special cat.
	👻 10:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 I mean .... I think Mitch would reprogram you before you had a chance go reprogram them.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: "Tape film"? Ha! Boy, did they get that wrong in 1955! I bet they feel pretty foolish for getting that wrong about the future.
	👻 10:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 I do have a very very special cat. This is true.
	10:47pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: ""The Veldt"" by "X-Minus One" Ray Bradbury did not predict the ads that would interrupt the Veldt show.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: The amount of control these parents give their children - where they cave to their children's every whim - seems like a comment on the kinds of parents who dote on their children constantly and never punish them.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:47 True. That was a 2021 Invention.
	👻 10:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Opening The Letter"" by "Chandu The Magician" I wonder if Frank Chandler learned his mystic skills in the same part of the Orient as Lamont Cranston.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:48 Good call! They must know each other. I assume all mystics of their profession probably keep in touch.
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: "Strawberry Ice Cream and Hot Dogs." Ouch!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: If this technology existed in our house when I was growing up: 1.) My parents would have gotten the Nursery, not us. 2.) About six steps ahead of us thinking Africa would be a good idea we would be banned from the Nursery, pre-emptively. They sort of had a sense for our kind of mischief, before we could even get into it.
	👻 10:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 Whereas Stephen Strange learned it all from one old dude in a cave on a Himalayan mountain.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:52 Isn't that how Deadman learned his powers?
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: Talking back to my Dad? Yeah, we wouldn't have access to any toys for a week.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Seems certain that this story is the basis for the "Holodecks" in Star Trek.
	10:56pm Webhamster Henry: Just wait for the Vision PRO adaptation of "The Veldt"
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 We have one of those on the Spacebridge! Nothing but trouble.
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: The lesson of this story: parents just don't understand.
	10:58pm Webhamster Henry: The Veldt comes with its own cheesy soundtrack.
	10:59pm AI Robots: Lions are scary!
	11:00pm AI Robots: No Lions!?
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robots @10:59 Yeah. I don't mess with Lions. That's just a rule I live by.
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robots @10:59 They're big cats, after all.
	👻 11:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:00 I always mess with lions. Good night all! Thanks for a fun show, Austin, and a fun chat everyone!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks again! See ya next time!
	11:02pm Webhamster Henry: The real Veldt doesn't have that "It was all a dream " ending.
