	👻 3:09pm chresti: ↳ Carmichael @3:08 Heading home on the freeways.. Nooo Ilya!
	3:09pm Susan See: Now I know from where DJ Shadow sampled his sounds on Dark Days. I actually think I have the David McCallum LP from years ago. Very nice.
	3:11pm The Oscar: I always just assumed all those McCallum records were really just David Axelrod albums with his face plastered on the cover-- I didn't realize until recently he was actually a classically trained musician and arranger!
	3:11pm Ike: ↳ David (in London) @3:08 I had totally forgotten he was Steel on Sapphire & Steel, truly one of the weirdest TV shows ever made.
	3:12pm Hubig Pie: ↳ David (in London) @3:08 Who carries a chihuahua into a room with an open punch bowl? That's just asking for trouble.

	3:12pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: A pleasure hearing your show again!
	3:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:12 I have a feeling it was the chihuahua calling the shots all along.
	3:12pm love2laf: ↳ David (in London) @3:08 I ain't no lady, and that's no Chihuahua, it's Erin the kitteh!
	3:13pm gauche knee: L2L, literally laughed out load to “failure friends”, I feel seen!
	3:13pm David (in London): ↳ Ike @3:11 I think every Brit of a certain age still shivers in discomfort at the memory of that final episode.
	3:14pm lazy pierogi: oh wow, RIP! are you queueing up “The Edge” at some point, Fabio?
	3:14pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "1-2-3" by "David McCallum" Wait — Ducky wrote this?

	3:15pm love2laf: ↳ gauche knee @3:13 Glad I made you left and feel seen all at the same time. :) Salutations David, hope all is well by you.
	3:15pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Wow! Sounds like the old spy show “the man from U N C L E”
	3:16pm Ike: ↳ David (in London) @3:13 Haven't gotten that far yet. I'll have to go check it out. And maybe I'll have to do it quickly -- it might be on Prime Video and they're going to add ads soon, BLEH.
	3:17pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "The Edge" by "David McCallum" Quite the spinal cord grabber, this piece
	3:17pm El Cerrito Dave: This is brilliant stuff -- thanks much Fabio
	3:17pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Good day to you all👋🫶🏻
	3:17pm lazy pierogi: ask and ye shall receive
	3:18pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: I wish I could say it’s a good day here! Rainy & wet since Friday! Hurricane Ophelia
	3:18pm headcleaner: ↳ headcleaner @3:17 And thanks to 4 days of rain - it's coming in over the terrestrial signal, clear as a bell
	3:18pm coelacanth∅: hello Fabio
	3:18pm Handy Haversack: "encouraged by his parents to prepare for a career in music, he played the oboe." My parents did it all wrong.
	3:19pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Man am I sick to death of Al this rain
	3:21pm Carmichael: United Nations Command for Law Enforcement
	3:22pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Ohh wow! Illya Kuryakin of uncle died.
	3:22pm El Cerrito Dave: The Guardian's McCallum obit is worth checking out: McC and Abfab Joanna Lumley made a sci-fi TV series together called Sapphire & Steel which is available to stream on FreeVee -- looks unmissable
	3:22pm Travisano66: I remember him best from the Invisible Man TV series from the 1970s. www.imdb.com...
	3:23pm David (in London): Also great roles in The Great Escape, and Colditz in which a top drawer bunch of British thesps show enormous stiff upper lip in the face of very wobbly BBC sets.
	3:23pm Jeff Moore: One note about which reactionary codger show he spent the last few decades toiling in: it was NCIS, not CSI.
	3:24pm Carmichael: Bad Guys: Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (THRUSH)
	3:24pm sydnius: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:23 Right you are Gibbs
	3:24pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:18 I probably related this before but.... When I was in grade school the music teacher asked me what instrument I wanted to play. I told him the flute and he taught me to make a noise over the mouthpiece. He sent a letter home that said I had an aptitude for the flute. My father responded "We have a trumpet in the house, my son has an aptitude for trumpet."
	👻 3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: outer limits?
	3:25pm Brendan: Outer limits
	3:25pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: The outer limits
	3:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:24 Ha! Parented!
	3:26pm Carmichael: Also Night Gallery!
	3:27pm El Cerrito Dave: The Guardian today has a David McC photo album including his appearance as an alien in The Outer Limits
	3:27pm Ike: ↳ El Cerrito Dave @3:22 We were just talking about that up above. Low budget, with an old-school slow pace, but creepy as hell.
	3:27pm chocolate monk: ‘Sapphire & Steel’ is what I remember as a bairn.
	3:28pm UFOspecialist: I got to eat my lunch in gramercy park a few times. Cool spot.
	3:28pm morphe': Was a serious right wingish bloke... https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/david-mccallum-dead-ncis-man-from-uncle-1235734772/
	3:29pm El Cerrito Dave: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/gallery/2023/sep/26/david-mccallum-a-life-in-pictures?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ UFOspecialist @3:28 So did I. I worked nearby for a spell. I think you get a thousand NYC points if you lose your virginity in it.
	3:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @3:28 that's interesting, right winger finding fame playing commie agent
	3:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ UFOspecialist @3:28 my ex had the key...
	3:31pm gauche knee: Can’t wait to check out Sapphire & Steel, nvr heard of it despite my love for Outer Limits and Night Gallery.
	3:31pm sydnius: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:30 The ultimate Manchurian Candidate!
	3:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ sydnius @3:31 ha!
	3:33pm morphe': Fyi - In lew of flowers... [not crticiizing just giving the info]; he asked] Donations may be made to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.
	3:34pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: He wasn’t an alien in the outer limits. I remember that episode. He was put in a DNA altering machine and evolved
	3:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Schaumberg" by "Harmonia" reminding me so much of kraftwerk orange cone
	3:35pm Ike: ↳ gauche knee @3:31 Sometimes its budget makes old-school Doctor Who look ambitious. And as with old Doctor Who, it was meant to be watched one episode at a time w/a cliffhanger at the end, not shotgunned/binged.
	3:35pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: I didn’t know he played musical instruments
	3:37pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Schaumberg" by "Harmonia" Haiku: harmonia Schaums moving to hard core strum und drang we end quietly
	3:38pm Ike: So just be warned if you try to binge a whole Sapphire & Steel serial at once, it will seem even slower. I like to watch one segment a day instead.
	3:38pm sydnius: ↳ morphe' @3:37 🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻
	3:40pm David (in London): ↳ Ike @3:38 Ike, have you seen the one with the WWI veterans in the railway station yet? That's so good.
	3:41pm DjLorraine: ... failure of fasting
	👻 3:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Fabio and therapy-goers.
	3:43pm morphe': ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:41 Abandoned Pscyh hospitals (as amny other abandoned places) are actually frighfully interesting to vist .. old hospitals especially ..
	3:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @3:40 do the protagonists time transport or something like that, probably inspired 80's(?) amercan tv show, quantum leap
	3:45pm sydnius: ↳ morphe' @3:43 inspiration for countless spooky horror gaems
	3:48pm morphe': ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:43 Time Travel = BFI in london is doing a Time travel = review .. one really oddball is (only saw a clip - was made '77 under the regimes) rom Jindrich Polák, director of the 1963 Czech sci-fi classic Ikarie XB-1, comes another foray into science-fiction with this lesser known but equally impressive feature "Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea." Looks to be fascinating ...
	3:49pm David (in London): Tom, yes, sort of. They are non-human extra-dimensional beings, who investigate tears and disruptions in time.
	3:51pm common: ↳ morphe' @3:48 gotta see those!
	3:52pm Ike: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:43 It's more artsy and mysterious than anything like Quantum Leap. You never learn much about Sapphire or Steel, who are literally the elements given human form. QL is much more of a... human show.
	3:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @3:48 wish i were in london, yes some of that soviet bloc 'entertainment' has a claustrophobic or paranoid feel like jiri trinka's the hand, which was shown to u.s. grammar school kids in the 70's for some reason
	3:54pm morphe': Destination: Time Travel at BFI IMAX See these time-travel classics on the UK’s largest screen. https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/imax/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=destinationtimetravelimax&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=
	3:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @3:49 saw some episodes a while back but could not remember
	3:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ike @3:52 right, couldn't recollect...
	3:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @3:52 Do you remember the show from the early eighties, The Travelers or something like that, with the time-traveling like buddy cops of the timestream, but one was a badboy and one was a wisecracking kid? And then the actor accidentally killed himself with a prop gun on set?
	3:57pm gauche knee: Ike, love that suggestion. Just found s1e1 on YouTube ( Lumley’s in this ?!), will be viewing tonight!
	3:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:57 Voyagers!! en.wikipedia.org...
	4:01pm love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:58 Such a sad story, and yet his mother took that sadness and saved a lot of other people's lives. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @4:01 I remember it all vaguely from being a kid. I was a fan of the show.
	4:05pm nic: ARE YOU BACK!!! GREAT I HAD NO IDEA................
	4:08pm sydnius: ↳ nic @4:05 welcome back pledge and get yer STF Tee (not available)
	4:14pm morphe': Did someone say Shrooms ....?
	4:14pm dale: hey now fabio. enjoying what sounds like a subterranean carnival.
	👻 4:16pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: this show is so great
	4:23pm PaulRobeson1923: Trust us, it’s music
	4:30pm A ramone: 'We're a happy family me mom&daddy'
	4:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Nick Didkovsky" by "Bill Brovold's Stone Soup" I got to meet Bill Brovold a year or two back. He was very pleasant! And shocked I knew who he was!
	4:33pm sydnius: Did I miss morphe' saying Shrooms?
	4:37pm Mark Hurst: This whole show today has been great.
	4:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "untitled" by "The Touchables" That was some fine music
	4:42pm walkspot: Its from “The Frogs” by Aristophanes
	4:42pm sydnius: (Stray Gods) - was fun!
	4:42pm castor: That is from an Aristophanes play “The Frogs”
	4:42pm amck: I think it's from Aristophanes' The Frogs...I had to sing that very phrase in college Greek!
	4:43pm castor: It’s how the frogs sing in the play
	4:44pm dale: wasn't that the midget guy from the wild wild west, too?
	4:45pm Ike: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:58 Oh yeah, I remember that! I only saw it in syndicated weekend reruns sometime around the mid-to-late-80s, since I grew up in such a rural area that we didn't even get NBC.
	4:45pm headcleaner: "Plato's Stepchildren" is the name of that Star Trek episode, I am obliged to say
	4:46pm Hubig Pie: I'm a good egg !
	4:47pm lanky: Someone hates Wang Chung...
	4:47pm Brendan: Just saw it last week Fab on the tube. The plot was crap
	4:47pm sydnius: ↳ headcleaner @4:45 here are your three quatloos
	4:50pm morphe': For after fabio ... found a free version of the odd Czech/Cechia Time travel film : Tomorrow I'll Get Up And Scald Myself With Tea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVBPNfKfgNo AFTER FABIO !!!!! !!!!!!!!!AFTER FABIO !!!!
	4:52pm Ike: Wait, wait, my attention drifted during that last mic break -- which film "stinks" per Fabio?!?
	4:53pm βrian: I'm going to guess: Road House.
	4:53pm herb.nyc: To live and die in LA? A guy raved about it on fb. Then I found a Camera Obscura feminist mag (at a give/take away) that dissects it. This is the start- A cop stealthily enters the tract house bedroom of his occasional lover, a young blond woman whose parole he oversees. Her observance of parole consists in passing him information and sleeping with him upon demand. This familiar pornographic formula (where seduction is tinged with sadism in the imposed authority of the police, and linked to the forced prostitution of an innocent looking wide-eyed victim) is enacted in a scene that renders the male body as spectacle. While the woman remains in the bed where she has just awakened, the cop, backlit by dawn light through the window which frames him, performs a rapid striptease that ends in a pose, arms folded, legs apart - an aggressive full frontal display reminiscent of male nude magazines. This almost parodic rehearsal of a stylized porn scenario is one of the two moments of heterosexual sex that punctuate William Freidkin's To Live and Die in LA (1985).
	4:54pm herb.nyc: ↳ Ike @4:52 To die and live in LA
	4:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ herb.nyc @4:54 or maybe: "to drive in l.a." sums things up...
	4:58pm dale: ↳ Song: "Still Light, Outside" by "John Chantler" this cacophony is a slice of okay, right here....
	4:59pm spodiodi: Greetings, Fabio and concerned citizens
	5:00pm nic: god it's great to hear your show again!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:01pm βrian: ↳ dale @4:58 I was the First Chair Cacophone player in our HS orchestra.
	5:01pm sydnius: ↳ Song: "Heave to (part 2)" by "Olivia Block" 🐑🐑🐏🐏 baaa
	👻 5:02pm lazy pierogi: 🌀
	5:03pm dale: ↳ βrian @5:01 cacca phone?
	👻 5:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Block’s HEAVE TO is an absolute perfect work. I have spoken.
	👻 5:05pm rf: ↳ castor @4:43 Pelophylax ridibundus www.youtube.com...
	5:14pm chresti: Came home to a scheduled power outage we weren’t notified about🛠️⛏️🔨🔫 I’ll have to drive around to charge the phone..
	5:16pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @5:14 Ooof, that's unkind, notification is part of the ''scheduled" outage prime directives.
	5:24pm DjLorraine: ↳ chresti @5:14 Glad you had a phone survival backup plan.
	5:25pm love2laf: Thank you Fabio, enjoyed the sounds this afternoon. Cheer failure friends, thanks for the accu chat.
	👻 5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ chresti @5:14 I haven't checked prices, but I think there are little solar panels to charge phones. Also hefty battery packs to keep a phone going for a week or more. They might be pricy, I have no idea.
	5:34pm dale: those car jumpstart battery packs should charge a phone. i have one that will run a laptop.
	5:36pm Mister Dobalina: Cool sounds you got going there, Fabio!
	5:39pm ?: ↳ dale @5:34 I have one of those. It's great, it can jumpstart a car, has USB to charge phones, and a low power AC outlet that I use to blow up air beds when camping. Cost <$100.
	5:45pm dale: ↳ @5:39 yeah, pretty handy in an emergency or for the sportsman, as you have just demonstrated.
	5:51pm Bobby: ↳ Song: "Dance Of Shiva" by "Valentina Goncharova" we like it!
	5:54pm pot8o: thanks fabio! have a great week everyone!
	5:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Fabio! This was some good failure!
	5:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio!
	5:56pm dale: thanks fab. good shoe.
	5:58pm Crocus: LOVE PERE UBU!
	👻 5:58pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: thanks a bunch
	5:59pm Fredericks: I've been in and out, but I've enjoyed what I heard.
	5:59pm Fredericks: I've been in and out, but I've enjoyed what I heard.

	3:15pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Wow! Sounds like the old spy show “the man from U N C L E”
	3:16pm Ike: ↳ David (in London) @3:13 Haven't gotten that far yet. I'll have to go check it out. And maybe I'll have to do it quickly -- it might be on Prime Video and they're going to add ads soon, BLEH.
	3:17pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "The Edge" by "David McCallum" Quite the spinal cord grabber, this piece
	3:17pm El Cerrito Dave: This is brilliant stuff -- thanks much Fabio
	3:17pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Good day to you all👋🫶🏻
	3:17pm lazy pierogi: ask and ye shall receive
	3:18pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: I wish I could say it’s a good day here! Rainy & wet since Friday! Hurricane Ophelia
	3:18pm headcleaner: ↳ headcleaner @3:17 And thanks to 4 days of rain - it's coming in over the terrestrial signal, clear as a bell
	3:18pm coelacanth∅: hello Fabio
	3:18pm Handy Haversack: "encouraged by his parents to prepare for a career in music, he played the oboe." My parents did it all wrong.
	3:19pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Man am I sick to death of Al this rain
	3:21pm Carmichael: United Nations Command for Law Enforcement
	3:22pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Ohh wow! Illya Kuryakin of uncle died.
	3:22pm El Cerrito Dave: The Guardian's McCallum obit is worth checking out: McC and Abfab Joanna Lumley made a sci-fi TV series together called Sapphire & Steel which is available to stream on FreeVee -- looks unmissable
	3:22pm Travisano66: I remember him best from the Invisible Man TV series from the 1970s. www.imdb.com...
	3:23pm David (in London): Also great roles in The Great Escape, and Colditz in which a top drawer bunch of British thesps show enormous stiff upper lip in the face of very wobbly BBC sets.
	3:23pm Jeff Moore: One note about which reactionary codger show he spent the last few decades toiling in: it was NCIS, not CSI.
	3:24pm Carmichael: Bad Guys: Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (THRUSH)
	3:24pm sydnius: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:23 Right you are Gibbs
	3:24pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:18 I probably related this before but.... When I was in grade school the music teacher asked me what instrument I wanted to play. I told him the flute and he taught me to make a noise over the mouthpiece. He sent a letter home that said I had an aptitude for the flute. My father responded "We have a trumpet in the house, my son has an aptitude for trumpet."
	👻 3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: outer limits?
	3:25pm Brendan: Outer limits
	3:25pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: The outer limits
	3:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:24 Ha! Parented!
	3:26pm Carmichael: Also Night Gallery!
	3:27pm El Cerrito Dave: The Guardian today has a David McC photo album including his appearance as an alien in The Outer Limits
	3:27pm Ike: ↳ El Cerrito Dave @3:22 We were just talking about that up above. Low budget, with an old-school slow pace, but creepy as hell.
	3:27pm chocolate monk: ‘Sapphire & Steel’ is what I remember as a bairn.
	3:28pm UFOspecialist: I got to eat my lunch in gramercy park a few times. Cool spot.
	3:28pm morphe': Was a serious right wingish bloke... https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/david-mccallum-dead-ncis-man-from-uncle-1235734772/
	3:29pm El Cerrito Dave: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/gallery/2023/sep/26/david-mccallum-a-life-in-pictures?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ UFOspecialist @3:28 So did I. I worked nearby for a spell. I think you get a thousand NYC points if you lose your virginity in it.
	3:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @3:28 that's interesting, right winger finding fame playing commie agent
	3:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ UFOspecialist @3:28 my ex had the key...
	3:31pm gauche knee: Can’t wait to check out Sapphire & Steel, nvr heard of it despite my love for Outer Limits and Night Gallery.
	3:31pm sydnius: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:30 The ultimate Manchurian Candidate!
	3:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ sydnius @3:31 ha!
	3:33pm morphe': Fyi - In lew of flowers... [not crticiizing just giving the info]; he asked] Donations may be made to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.
	3:34pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: He wasn’t an alien in the outer limits. I remember that episode. He was put in a DNA altering machine and evolved
	3:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Schaumberg" by "Harmonia" reminding me so much of kraftwerk orange cone
	3:35pm Ike: ↳ gauche knee @3:31 Sometimes its budget makes old-school Doctor Who look ambitious. And as with old Doctor Who, it was meant to be watched one episode at a time w/a cliffhanger at the end, not shotgunned/binged.
	3:35pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: I didn’t know he played musical instruments
	3:37pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Schaumberg" by "Harmonia" Haiku: harmonia Schaums moving to hard core strum und drang we end quietly
	3:38pm Ike: So just be warned if you try to binge a whole Sapphire & Steel serial at once, it will seem even slower. I like to watch one segment a day instead.
	3:38pm sydnius: ↳ morphe' @3:37 🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻
	3:40pm David (in London): ↳ Ike @3:38 Ike, have you seen the one with the WWI veterans in the railway station yet? That's so good.
	3:41pm DjLorraine: ... failure of fasting
	👻 3:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Fabio and therapy-goers.
	3:43pm morphe': ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:41 Abandoned Pscyh hospitals (as amny other abandoned places) are actually frighfully interesting to vist .. old hospitals especially ..
	3:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @3:40 do the protagonists time transport or something like that, probably inspired 80's(?) amercan tv show, quantum leap
	3:45pm sydnius: ↳ morphe' @3:43 inspiration for countless spooky horror gaems
	3:48pm morphe': ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:43 Time Travel = BFI in london is doing a Time travel = review .. one really oddball is (only saw a clip - was made '77 under the regimes) rom Jindrich Polák, director of the 1963 Czech sci-fi classic Ikarie XB-1, comes another foray into science-fiction with this lesser known but equally impressive feature "Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea." Looks to be fascinating ...
	3:49pm David (in London): Tom, yes, sort of. They are non-human extra-dimensional beings, who investigate tears and disruptions in time.
	3:51pm common: ↳ morphe' @3:48 gotta see those!
	3:52pm Ike: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:43 It's more artsy and mysterious than anything like Quantum Leap. You never learn much about Sapphire or Steel, who are literally the elements given human form. QL is much more of a... human show.
	3:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @3:48 wish i were in london, yes some of that soviet bloc 'entertainment' has a claustrophobic or paranoid feel like jiri trinka's the hand, which was shown to u.s. grammar school kids in the 70's for some reason
	3:54pm morphe': Destination: Time Travel at BFI IMAX See these time-travel classics on the UK’s largest screen. https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/imax/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=destinationtimetravelimax&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=
	3:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @3:49 saw some episodes a while back but could not remember
	3:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ike @3:52 right, couldn't recollect...
	3:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @3:52 Do you remember the show from the early eighties, The Travelers or something like that, with the time-traveling like buddy cops of the timestream, but one was a badboy and one was a wisecracking kid? And then the actor accidentally killed himself with a prop gun on set?
	3:57pm gauche knee: Ike, love that suggestion. Just found s1e1 on YouTube ( Lumley’s in this ?!), will be viewing tonight!
	3:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:57 Voyagers!! en.wikipedia.org...
	4:01pm love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:58 Such a sad story, and yet his mother took that sadness and saved a lot of other people's lives. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @4:01 I remember it all vaguely from being a kid. I was a fan of the show.

	4:14pm morphe': Did someone say Shrooms ....?
	4:14pm dale: hey now fabio. enjoying what sounds like a subterranean carnival.
	👻 4:16pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: this show is so great
	4:23pm PaulRobeson1923: Trust us, it’s music
	4:30pm A ramone: 'We're a happy family me mom&daddy'
	4:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Nick Didkovsky" by "Bill Brovold's Stone Soup" I got to meet Bill Brovold a year or two back. He was very pleasant! And shocked I knew who he was!
	4:33pm sydnius: Did I miss morphe' saying Shrooms?
	4:37pm Mark Hurst: This whole show today has been great.
	4:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "untitled" by "The Touchables" That was some fine music
	4:42pm walkspot: Its from “The Frogs” by Aristophanes
	4:42pm sydnius: (Stray Gods) - was fun!
	4:42pm castor: That is from an Aristophanes play “The Frogs”
	4:42pm amck: I think it's from Aristophanes' The Frogs...I had to sing that very phrase in college Greek!
	4:43pm castor: It’s how the frogs sing in the play
	4:44pm dale: wasn't that the midget guy from the wild wild west, too?
	4:45pm Ike: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:58 Oh yeah, I remember that! I only saw it in syndicated weekend reruns sometime around the mid-to-late-80s, since I grew up in such a rural area that we didn't even get NBC.
	4:45pm headcleaner: "Plato's Stepchildren" is the name of that Star Trek episode, I am obliged to say
	4:46pm Hubig Pie: I'm a good egg !
	4:47pm lanky: Someone hates Wang Chung...
	4:47pm Brendan: Just saw it last week Fab on the tube. The plot was crap
	4:47pm sydnius: ↳ headcleaner @4:45 here are your three quatloos
	4:50pm morphe': For after fabio ... found a free version of the odd Czech/Cechia Time travel film : Tomorrow I'll Get Up And Scald Myself With Tea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVBPNfKfgNo AFTER FABIO !!!!! !!!!!!!!!AFTER FABIO !!!!
	4:52pm Ike: Wait, wait, my attention drifted during that last mic break -- which film "stinks" per Fabio?!?
	4:53pm βrian: I'm going to guess: Road House.
	4:53pm herb.nyc: To live and die in LA? A guy raved about it on fb. Then I found a Camera Obscura feminist mag (at a give/take away) that dissects it. This is the start- A cop stealthily enters the tract house bedroom of his occasional lover, a young blond woman whose parole he oversees. Her observance of parole consists in passing him information and sleeping with him upon demand. This familiar pornographic formula (where seduction is tinged with sadism in the imposed authority of the police, and linked to the forced prostitution of an innocent looking wide-eyed victim) is enacted in a scene that renders the male body as spectacle. While the woman remains in the bed where she has just awakened, the cop, backlit by dawn light through the window which frames him, performs a rapid striptease that ends in a pose, arms folded, legs apart - an aggressive full frontal display reminiscent of male nude magazines. This almost parodic rehearsal of a stylized porn scenario is one of the two moments of heterosexual sex that punctuate William Freidkin's To Live and Die in LA (1985).
	4:54pm herb.nyc: ↳ Ike @4:52 To die and live in LA
	4:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ herb.nyc @4:54 or maybe: "to drive in l.a." sums things up...
	4:58pm dale: ↳ Song: "Still Light, Outside" by "John Chantler" this cacophony is a slice of okay, right here....
	4:59pm spodiodi: Greetings, Fabio and concerned citizens
	5:00pm nic: god it's great to hear your show again!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:01pm βrian: ↳ dale @4:58 I was the First Chair Cacophone player in our HS orchestra.

	5:14pm chresti: Came home to a scheduled power outage we weren’t notified about🛠️⛏️🔨🔫 I’ll have to drive around to charge the phone..
	5:16pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @5:14 Ooof, that's unkind, notification is part of the ''scheduled" outage prime directives.
	5:24pm DjLorraine: ↳ chresti @5:14 Glad you had a phone survival backup plan.
	5:25pm love2laf: Thank you Fabio, enjoyed the sounds this afternoon. Cheer failure friends, thanks for the accu chat.
	👻 5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ chresti @5:14 I haven't checked prices, but I think there are little solar panels to charge phones. Also hefty battery packs to keep a phone going for a week or more. They might be pricy, I have no idea.
	5:34pm dale: those car jumpstart battery packs should charge a phone. i have one that will run a laptop.
	5:36pm Mister Dobalina: Cool sounds you got going there, Fabio!
	5:39pm ?: ↳ dale @5:34 I have one of those. It's great, it can jumpstart a car, has USB to charge phones, and a low power AC outlet that I use to blow up air beds when camping. Cost <$100.
	5:45pm dale: ↳ @5:39 yeah, pretty handy in an emergency or for the sportsman, as you have just demonstrated.
	5:51pm Bobby: ↳ Song: "Dance Of Shiva" by "Valentina Goncharova" we like it!
	5:54pm pot8o: thanks fabio! have a great week everyone!
