Listener comments!
	👻 7:36pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	7:44pm Krys O.: Hello!
	👻 7:52pm Austin Rich: I'm ready for nostalgia twice removed!
	7:53pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	👻 7:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @7:53 Hooray! Always a pleasure to run into you.
	7:56pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:55 You as well. Hope you are having a great week so far
	7:57pm Krys O.: Hi, Imaginos!
	👻 7:58pm MarkTime: Hello all!
	7:58pm Krys O.: Howdy, Mark!
	7:59pm Krys O.: I had to do some shoveling here. We got about five inches of snow today.
	7:59pm Krys O.: California radio sounds good now.
	👻 7:59pm MarkTime: ↳ Austin Rich @7:52 Guess it beats the 1970s nostalgia for the 1950s
	👻 7:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @7:59 Woah! And I have the window open because it was unseasonably warm in the Mid-Valley. So weird.
	👻 8:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ MarkTime @7:59 That's the twice-removed nostalgia I grew up with.
	8:01pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @7:59 We had relatively mild temperatures last week. Upper 40s close to 50 degrees.
	👻 8:01pm MarkTime: Uh Oh
	8:02pm Kat in the chat: Snowed all morning in Philly and then the sun came out and it all melted
	👻 8:02pm MarkTime: Lost audio here for a bit
	👻 8:02pm MarkTime: ↳ Austin Rich @7:59 I spent workday yesterday in winter ... up in the mountains less than 30 miles from here
	8:03pm Krys O.: Hi, Kat! The sun came out here too, but so much snow fell. It's going to take a couple of days of sunshine to melt it.
	8:05pm Kat in the chat: Sorry you had to shovel, Krys!
	8:05pm Krys O.: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:05 I'm used to it. It's a good workout.
	8:06pm Krys O.: Looking back 30 years now is remembering the 90s. Oof.
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:06 The good thing about modern 90s Nostalgia: like all the previous Nostalgia fads, the kids get it all wrong, and the people who were there all roll their eyes. So at least Nostalgia is consistent.
	8:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:08 Ha!
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:08 That Chuck Klosterman book - "The 90's" - is essentially making the point that what we all remember about the 90's is wrong, and getting the 90's right is pretty hard these days.
	8:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:10 Is that a corollary to the adage that if you remember the 60s, you weren't there?
	👻 8:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:11 Ha! Good point!
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: What I remember about the 90's was how much slower paced life was. It was the last decade that informed what the internet would be, rather than the internet informing what the outside world would be like when you leave the house, the way it sort of is now.
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: Angle-es. So weird.
	👻 8:14pm MarkTime: Furniture that fell off moving trucks?
	8:15pm Imaginos: Pico.. Usually associated with Sepulveda
	8:15pm Krys O.: I've heard that pronunciation occasionally in old noir movies or B films from the 40s and 50s. I think Arlo Guthrie sang it that way for the song Los Angeles, right?
	👻 8:15pm MarkTime: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 Indeed! I neglected to look up the reason for that pronunciation
	👻 8:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:15 That's the only association I have (old movies where they did this).
	8:18pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @8:15 Seems the hard G was a thing in the 1900s.
	8:19pm Kat in the chat: I figured Arlo was doing it for rhyming purposes
	8:19pm Krys O.: What a description?!
	👻 8:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:19 I love it!
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: That pronunciation is probably weirder for LA locals. I could imagine people from other parts of the country not really being floored by that.
	8:24pm Krys O.: Here is a photo of Nat Wills is costume: images.app.goo.gl...
	8:24pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @8:24 *in costume
	👻 8:24pm MarkTime: Some places around here hang on to the Anglicized pronunciations, most famously San Pedro which they insist on calling San PEE-dro instead of San PAY-dro
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:24 "What, me, worry?"
	8:27pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @8:24 Interesting. There is a Bogota in New Jersey, but it's pronounced BUH-goata unlike bo-go-TA, Columbia.
	8:28pm Imaginos: Sent a picture Austin
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:28 I see that! I'll look after the show.
	8:29pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:28 Cool
	8:31pm Krys O.: A friend recently lamented how younger generations don't even know who W.C. Fields was. :(
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:31 There's a lot of old stars that the kids don't know about. We need to bring old movies to the kids! But how...? Can we use Tik Tok for this function? (I think this proves how little I know about Tik Tok, but I'm hopeful...)
	👻 8:34pm MarkTime: ↳ Krys O. @8:31 We knew of him in the 1960s, and that's witsh the distraction of so many drunk acts, such as Foster Brooks, the Otis Campbell character, and to a certain extent Dean Martin
	8:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 Tik Tok would be effective. I was lucky enough to watch his movies on TV as a kid in the 60s and 70s.
	👻 8:35pm Austin Rich: There's a great podcast by Karina Longworth, who is an old Hollywood nerd who is a few years younger than me, and SHE was lamenting on her podcast that the kids are not hip to old movies. Maybe her podcast is helping? I quite enjoy it and her style. But I do think that interest in that era is not a strong as it once was.
	8:37pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @8:34 Hal Smith who was Otis Campbell did a lot of voice acting for cartoons including Winnie the Pooh.
	👻 8:38pm Mr Fab: Hey Mark! and fellow wiggle-worms. 1952? Wow, is this the oldest one you've played yet?
	8:38pm Krys O.: Ah, Earl Warren of the Warren Commission.
	👻 8:40pm Mr Fab: I think KNX was one of those news stations my mom used to listen to in the '70s/'80s.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:40 How do you feel about the "Angeles / Angel-es" pronunciation schism? I think you are native, or at least, grew up in the area?
	👻 8:41pm MarkTime: ↳ Mr Fab @8:38 There have been a couple Spike Jones shows from the 1940s, and something else.
	👻 8:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @8:41 No one EVER pronounced the hard "g." That is old-school.
	👻 8:42pm MarkTime: ↳ Mr Fab @8:40 KNX has been all-news since at least the 1970s
	👻 8:46pm Mr Fab: these guys sound like if Bob and Ray weren't funny.
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: I often reflect on how often people used to listen to talk radio and news radio when I was a kid, and now I think about how often people listen to podcasts where people are just talking about things, often the news, and I see a direct connection. But maybe that's just me?
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:46 Zing.
	8:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:47 I featured WOR-AM radio on my show last Saturday. It was mostly talk and news, but they had Bob & Ray, Jean Shepherd, The Fitzgeralds, CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and more.
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:49 Oooooo! That is a stacked radio line-up! I will have to re-listen. Thanks for the tip.
	8:51pm Krys O.: This jingle montage is amazing!
	8:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Krys O. @8:49 I don't get to listen on Saturday afternoons much, but I will check that archive!
	👻 8:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "KNX-FM Los Angeles CA 8/15/1983" by "Mellow Rock ... My young teen punk self would have ridiculed the hell out of this station in '83. Now i love hearing this.
	8:52pm Krys O.: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 Oof, it was two weeks ago. Time flies....
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:52 The part of me that recently bough a Moonlighting DVD set knows exactly what you mean, Mr. Fab. Time has a funny way with us...
	👻 8:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 Oh, Kat! Your Avatar! RIP Mr. Suzuki!
	8:54pm Imaginos: Fun show tonight
	👻 8:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 my wife was just watching some old "moonlighting" earlier today! She was laffin: "Boy, this show has NOT aged well."
	8:54pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 I've been watching Newhart in chronological order. I missed a lot of them with college and not having a TV. It's incredible, not as great as the Bob Newhart Show, but still worthwhile, especially starting with season two.
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:54 I had a feeling.
	8:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @8:54 I swiped that from Wendy del Formaggio's playlist yesterday! She found it on Dangerous Minds, she said.
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:54 Oh, yeah! That's the stuff. I could mainline Newhart, if I'm honest.
	8:55pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:54 Oh, great! That's sweet.
	👻 8:56pm MarkTime: ↳ Krys O. @8:54 I used to watch The Bob Newhart show regularly, but only started watching Newhart recently when my wife stumbled upon reruns on MeTV
	8:56pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:55 I'm Larry, and this is my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl.
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:56 I steal that joke constantly in my short-stories! I am shameless.
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:56 egg-ZACK-lee! Yeah, we watched it every week.
	8:57pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @8:56 I did that with Sanford & Son years ago.
	8:57pm Krys O.: Thanks, Mark!
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: Fantastic Show! Thanks!
	👻 8:58pm MarkTime: ↳ Austin Rich @8:54 Oh poop ... David Suzuki passed?
	👻 8:59pm MarkTime: Thanks Krys!!
	8:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ MarkTime @8:58 Damo Suzuki from Can
	👻 8:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ MarkTime @8:58 So cool, much thanks Mark!
	8:59pm Kat in the chat: Thanks Mark! Good stuff.
