Maybe I am not doing it right, but there have been very few "pet names" that have actually stuck in any lasting relationship I've been in. They seem to last about two or three days, and then we forget in lieu of more practical relationship concerns.

The Sound on this one is not that great, and I did a little EQ to try and improve things, for this broadcast. Hopefully you can listen "through" the weird audio, and enjoy the Bogart and Bacall, instead.

↳ Song: ""Engaged In Murder"" by "Bold Venture"
The "Daddy" stuff is sort of weird with these day. The backstory is that Bogart's best friend is Sailor's father, and when the father died, Bogart's character "stepped in." They are clearly in a relationship, but... it's very weird, all around.

This episode (and the one we played last week) sort of straddle the "Valentine's Day" date, and both have relationships that are key to the stories. Not precisely Valentine's Day fare, but as close as you get on Bold Venture.

We have heard this story before, on Dimension X. But this is a more modern production. We're getting close to the point where all the stories that COULD be remade from Dimension X, have been. We should be getting some new stories, soon.
