	1:14pm BC Sterrett: Fixing our internet connection
	1:16pm BC Sterrett: I'm not connecting for some reason... troubleshooting
	1:18pm ?: I had the same problem this morning and ended up cancelling my show. BUTT was "connecting" for about ten minutes before I have up. Hopefully you have better luck.
	1:24pm BC Sterrett: Did someone else leave it running on their end?
	1:26pm BC Sterrett: I just messaged Mr. Fab, we'll see what's up
	1:29pm BC Sterrett: It's something on the station's end, I'll just have to wait till I get a response...
	1:36pm Bobby: Hi everyone, I stopped by during the last slot, no sound
	1:38pm BC Sterrett: Hi Bobby, the station is having issues. If anyone has a direct contact to Mr. Fab or anyone else in charge please let me know... I think they're busy doing holiday stuff...
	1:38pm BC Sterrett: Is the station stream playing at all?
	2:11pm ifny en route: No sound on Sheena stream but all others are working fine for me.
	2:19pm LdsAuthorgirl: No sound but I'm here
	2:21pm LdsAuthorgirl: Ok so now you will read my newest "Desert Cover" too. ? 😁
	2:28pm BC Sterrett: I'm reading your book right now, see your phone text ;)
	2:44pm WR: I was going to whine that I didn't see the memo about you doing a special today but seems the stream software didn't get the memo either. Stream is streaming silence. But you all already know that.
	2:48pm BC Sterrett: Hopefully, someone at the station notices and it gets back soon???
	2:56pm Mr Fab: WFMU’s Engineer John is looking into it!
	2:58pm WR: I hear sound on the stream!
	3:05pm WR: Now just need for Mr Sterrett to be able to connect.
	3:06pm BC Sterrett: K, now fixing a new problem... lol
	3:08pm BC Sterrett: Are you guys ok with one speaker?
	3:10pm WR: ↳ BC Sterrett @3:08 Go with what you got say I.
	3:12pm WR: but for the last couple of minutes it has been back to silence.
	3:12pm BC Sterrett: I had to stop BUTT and reconnect but now it's not connecting again..
	3:16pm BC Sterrett: My issue is now fixed if the station can re-connect :) I'm gonna need some egg nog after this,...extra nog.
	3:19pm WR: normally when the host restarts butt or reboots I would expect to hear the auto stream, not silence, streaming silence. eek, just got a very short blip of sound.
	3:23pm John Dalton: John at WFMU here. BC Sterrett - Can you fully disconnect BUTT from the mount point and reconnect? Every time I kill the source it comes back with a brief audio blip then nothing.
	3:25pm WR: going to be cooking for a while, will be streaming on my phone so will hear if you get connected. Thank you John for the crucial assistance.
	3:26pm BC Sterrett: Like move it to the trash and re-load it?
	3:27pm BC Sterrett: Closing it and re-opening isn't working
	3:28pm John Dalton: You may have to force Quitt or Kill it. Then restart.
	3:31pm BC Sterrett: And we're back!
	3:32pm BC Sterrett: Thanks for your help :)
	3:35pm Mr Fab: I hear ya, yay!!!
	3:37pm Mr Fab: Very merry thanks to engineer John!
	3:40pm BC Sterrett: Thank you John!!!
	3:41pm VaLRose: Merry Christmas
	3:42pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas!!!
	3:42pm LdsAuthorgirl: I can hear it
	3:44pm VaLRose: ↳ LdsAuthorgirl @3:42 Enjoy! Keep it going & check in time to time.. then Blair will read your book & give it a review! ;)
	3:51pm John Dalton: ↳ BC Sterrett @3:40 Glad to help! Merry Christmas!
	4:01pm BC Sterrett: This song is dedicated to mom :)
	4:09pm Mr Fab: I never saw any of those gremlins movies. Does this story have anything to do with the movies? Are they the same characters?
	4:14pm BC Sterrett: Yes, same characters :) Sort of a condensed version of the first film
	4:17pm BC Sterrett: I think that kid is Corey Feldman in the film
	4:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Christmas Haunted House" by "Shirley and Squirrle... That was rather, er, nutty. I have a Shirley and Squirrley record: one of those CB radio country songs.
	4:37pm BC Sterrett: Shirley and Squirrley are a gem!
	4:37pm LdsAuthorgirl: Hello. I'm listening
	4:39pm BC Sterrett: Which song did I dedicate to you earlier?
	4:48pm LdsAuthorgirl: My sound stopped to your station
	4:50pm Mr Fab: Still getting Christmas goodies coming thru my speaker
	4:57pm Mr Fab: That opening PacMan song was pretty cool.
	4:57pm BC Sterrett: Reload Author Girl
	5:05pm BC Sterrett: The Theme Song is the Best Part!
	5:09pm Mr Fab: Getting a Christmas story out of PacMan, a game which has almost no narrative and has nothing to do with Christmas, is pretty durn impressive. Imagine being a writer handed THAT assignment.
	5:13pm BC Sterrett: Ha ha!
	5:15pm Mr Fab: I have a $6 Million Dollar Man Xmas record. He helps Santa after someone is melting the North Pole. Steve Austin fights global warning!
	5:16pm BC Sterrett: Is that the story I should play off that record?!?
	5:23pm MHLee: Hi folks, glad to see we are running here
	5:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @5:15 Ha, of course you would have a copy of it. Play whatever works for you.
	5:36pm BC Sterrett: OK!
	5:37pm MHLee: Peter Pan sems to be all over the place as far as it's budget.
	5:54pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas MHLee!
	6:01pm MHLee: Merry Christmas to you!
	6:03pm Kat in the chat: Oh hey this is on now,’yay!
	6:06pm BC Sterrett: Hey Kat!
	6:13pm BC Sterrett: Mr. Fab, do you know which $6 Mill Dollar Man that is? I can't tell by the titles. Is it "Christmas Lights?"
	6:14pm BC Sterrett: This Radio Shack Record is charmingly fantastic, way better than their Fairy Tale one...
	6:19pm MHLee: Are the vocal talents credited?
	6:24pm BC Sterrett: Only the music composer...
	6:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "My Christmas Card to You" by "The Partridge Family" Such a good song. Really should have been a hit.
	6:26pm BC Sterrett: Says it originally came with a coloring book...hopefully I run into it someday :)
	6:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:13 Don’t remember…
	6:27pm BC Sterrett: I love that Partridge track. It's new to me
	6:28pm BC Sterrett: K, I'm gonna guess on the 6 Mill song
	6:28pm BC Sterrett: story I mean!
	6:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:27 I’d never heard it until I took a chance on a $1 Partridge Family Xmas album. Was def the standout track.
	6:35pm laurapanic: good morning from Boxing Day Been listening awhile, but just popping on here now...
	6:35pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:27 it was lovely
	6:35pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas Laura!
	6:37pm laurapanic: no one is giving a whip that cracks to kids in 2023, sadly
	6:37pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:35 thanks, BC!
	6:39pm BC Sterrett: My older brothers got whips. Guess what the did while I was jumping on the trampoline in the back yard? lol
	6:41pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:39 aaaaaah the good old days!
	6:42pm laurapanic: veering close to Reporter Dick and Santa fanfic for a second there
	6:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "My Christmas Card to You" by "The Partridge Family" My copy did not include the card either…
	6:50pm BC Sterrett: Because of the tiny mouse on the cover, I've had this record in my chipmunk ripoff section.
	6:51pm Mr Fab: Hey Laura! Boxing Day sounds like a pretty strange holiday. Just remember to jab with your left, knock ‘em out with a right hook.
	6:52pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @6:51 I'm on the lookout for a victim right now!
	6:55pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "A Knightrider Christmas" by "Kitt the Amazing Car... does it go for a high price BC?
	6:56pm BC Sterrett: It's just unavailable everywhere
	6:56pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:56 well, if it ever turns up down here, I'll grab it ahahaa
	7:00pm BC Sterrett: Thank You!!!
	7:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "A Knightrider Christmas" by "Kitt the Amazing Car... Just the fact that these records exist is fairly mind-blowing. Was there nothing that couldn’t be awkwardly shoehorned into a Christmas story?
	7:12pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by "John ... Wow, did you see that fraudster/former inmate Lori Loughlin does a song on this album? Her only discogs credit.
	7:14pm LdsAuthorgirl: I found you!
	7:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Dell Comics" The title “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” is a bit of a spoiler. Kinda kills the suspense.
	7:14pm BC Sterrett: Wow! I did recognize her. I just wish her track was more intersting
	7:15pm LdsAuthorgirl: Yes I can chat but I can't hear
	7:16pm LdsAuthorgirl: So if you put the questions in, I can't hear what the answer is or see it
	7:17pm BC Sterrett: Quiz question for my mother-in-law and anyone else who wants to win a free copy of her Christmas book. What phrase did I say was interesting to hear Batman say on a children's record?
	7:25pm WR: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:17 hmmmm. I heard the comment but already forgot what you said.
	7:27pm BC Sterrett: lol. I'll have more questions soon
	7:31pm MHLee: pretty rough song
	7:36pm LdsAuthorgirl: I was listening. When I was a little girl, they used to put a record on, and we would read the book and turn the pages when they told us to just like this this is legit, but we never read one about Martians
	7:38pm Mr Fab: Four hours in, and BC, the Iron Man of Radio, is still going strong.
	7:39pm BC Sterrett: Save me Halloween for next year :)
	7:39pm BC Sterrett: ↳ MHLee @7:31 Kid Santa Claus? lol
	7:40pm LdsAuthorgirl: Sleepy gogo club!!!
	7:40pm BC Sterrett: ↳ LdsAuthorgirl @7:36 For this record you read the Dell Comic book along with the record.
	7:41pm BC Sterrett: ↳ LdsAuthorgirl @7:40 Close,..."Sleazy Go Go Club." I feel like you're cheating by rewinding the show file. lol
	7:42pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Crispy Christmas-ers!
	7:43pm BC Sterrett: Hello there Austin! Happy Crispy to You!
	7:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:43 I've been "in and out" for a while, but I can finally sit down and listen. I do love all these weird records! I have been wanting to do a "kids" show for a while...
	7:46pm BC Sterrett: ↳ Austin Rich @7:44 I love kids records...
	7:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:46 I scored a bunch not long ago, and I have a TON just from regular thrifting... but your collection runs DEEP. I mostly have a lot of the usual fare. Tons of Disney stuff.
	7:49pm MHLee: Do you have "Get off of My Roof"
	7:53pm BC Sterrett: ↳ MHLee @7:49 ooh, Who is it by?
	7:54pm MHLee: Jerry & The Landslides
	7:54pm BC Sterrett: I do NOT, but that sounds fantastic!
	7:55pm Austin Rich: Those are some silly elf names. None of them would fly in D&D.
	7:55pm MHLee: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:54 it a pretty lowfi garage band recording but you'd recognize the tune
	8:00pm Kat in the chat: I have… questions.
	8:01pm Austin Rich: Yeah... I feel like the questions wouldn't necessarily have great answers.
	8:02pm Kat in the chat: That’s probably why I’m not asking them. Hi Austin!
	8:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:02 Hi Kat! I feel like it's been ages since our paths have crossed.
	8:03pm BC Sterrett: Elvin also has a 45 Single! I may play it, if the song doesn't show up on this record...
	8:05pm Kat in the chat: I come and go. Nice to see you!
	8:06pm Austin Rich: Now Drow Elves are a thing, in D&D, but I'm not sure if "Elvin" is a "canonical" name one of the Drow would adopt.
	8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "You Meet The Nicest People" by "Dinal Shore" Nothing says "Xmas" like Chevrolet and Dina Shore.
	8:10pm Austin Rich: Santa doesn't pay? What about breaks and working conditions? Is this record an expose?
	8:12pm Austin Rich: Maybe an elf that spent a lot of time with humans would go by "Hooper." Okay, I'll let that one slide.
	8:13pm Mr Fab: That song was pretty punk
	8:14pm BC Sterrett: ha ha!
	8:15pm BC Sterrett: So far the 45 single is not on this record... hmmm. I may need to pull that out...
	8:16pm BC Sterrett: What's wrong with fat elves? I like fat elves.
	8:19pm Mr Fab: I guess this record would go well with that “Santa Claus is a Black Man” song.
	8:20pm Kat in the chat: Santa’s fat! Why is the fat shaming selective?
	8:21pm Kat in the chat: That whole thing was breathtakingly bad.
	8:22pm Austin Rich: Whoa! Working conditions are being addressed! This is an expose!
	8:22pm BC Sterrett: Do you have a request for Santa Claus is a Black Man?
	8:23pm Kat in the chat: And now, union busting Santa!
	8:24pm Austin Rich: Environmental issues, too? The Six Million Dollar Man had everything.
	8:24pm Kat in the chat: I love Santa Claus Is A Black Man 🎅🏿
	8:25pm Austin Rich: "Santa Go Straight To The Ghetto" by James Brown?
	8:25pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:24 i.ebayimg.com...
	8:25pm BC Sterrett: Next year, let's save room for stories! Time's almost up!
	8:26pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:25 or by mojo nixon
	8:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:26 We could always use more Mojo Nixon.
	8:28pm BC Sterrett: If you don't have Mojo Nixon then your place could use some fixin!
	8:28pm Austin Rich: "Full sized people?" Oh my!
	8:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ BC Sterrett @8:28 I've heard that!
	8:31pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Santa-Claustrophobia" by "Bugs Bunny and Friends" Man I need to download that.
	8:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:31 I am a sucker for that "Merrily We Roll Along" theme song.
	8:36pm Imaginos: A late ahoy! Just got home
	8:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:36 Wonderful to see you!
	8:38pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:32 I was shocked to find it has lyrics
	8:38pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:37 And you as well
	8:38pm MHLee: There's also a peter pan records version with awful impressions of looney tunes characters
	8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:38 I was pleased to hear the lyrics, too. I love all those old songs that secretly have lyrics.
	8:40pm Imaginos: Miserable "wife" lol!
	8:43pm Austin Rich: My father-in-law often says, "Happy Wife, Happy Life." I assume the opposite is also true.
	8:43pm Imaginos: ↳ MHLee @8:38 Peter pan records was A big source of kids music back in the day
	8:44pm Imaginos: This reminds me of That's My Boy by Stan Freberg
	8:46pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Weach For The Wafter, Santa" by "Kenny Bowers" wild how angry porky looks with the record on his face
	8:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:46 Porky has a lot of secret rage.
	8:49pm Mr Fab: Anyone who thinks snowballs don’t hurt hasn’t been hit by one
	8:50pm BC Sterrett: I'm gonna make a square snow ball and throw it at whoever destroyed that 45!
	8:53pm Austin Rich: This has been a great show, BC! Thanks for teeing me up for success after you!
	8:55pm BC Sterrett: Thanks for being here Austin!
	8:56pm MHLee: Thanks so much for the holiday event
	8:56pm Austin Rich: Whiskey, radio, and... Christmas!? It's like the perfect day.
	8:56pm BC Sterrett: This is probably the final record. Sorry the show had so many problems in the beginning :) All the more material for another year!
	8:58pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas Everyone :) Stay tuned for Dimestore Radio Theater!
	11:01pm WR: Many thank yous! I went into a food induced snooze during Elvin the black elf. Will be listening to the rest from the archive. Many thanks!

	2:56pm Mr Fab: WFMU’s Engineer John is looking into it!
	2:58pm WR: I hear sound on the stream!
	3:05pm WR: Now just need for Mr Sterrett to be able to connect.
	3:06pm BC Sterrett: K, now fixing a new problem... lol
	3:08pm BC Sterrett: Are you guys ok with one speaker?
	3:10pm WR: ↳ BC Sterrett @3:08 Go with what you got say I.
	3:12pm WR: but for the last couple of minutes it has been back to silence.
	3:12pm BC Sterrett: I had to stop BUTT and reconnect but now it's not connecting again..
	3:16pm BC Sterrett: My issue is now fixed if the station can re-connect :) I'm gonna need some egg nog after this,...extra nog.
	3:19pm WR: normally when the host restarts butt or reboots I would expect to hear the auto stream, not silence, streaming silence. eek, just got a very short blip of sound.
	3:23pm John Dalton: John at WFMU here. BC Sterrett - Can you fully disconnect BUTT from the mount point and reconnect? Every time I kill the source it comes back with a brief audio blip then nothing.
	3:25pm WR: going to be cooking for a while, will be streaming on my phone so will hear if you get connected. Thank you John for the crucial assistance.
	3:26pm BC Sterrett: Like move it to the trash and re-load it?
	3:27pm BC Sterrett: Closing it and re-opening isn't working
	3:28pm John Dalton: You may have to force Quitt or Kill it. Then restart.
	3:31pm BC Sterrett: And we're back!
	3:32pm BC Sterrett: Thanks for your help :)
	3:35pm Mr Fab: I hear ya, yay!!!
	3:37pm Mr Fab: Very merry thanks to engineer John!
	3:40pm BC Sterrett: Thank you John!!!
	3:41pm VaLRose: Merry Christmas
	3:42pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas!!!
	3:42pm LdsAuthorgirl: I can hear it
	3:44pm VaLRose: ↳ LdsAuthorgirl @3:42 Enjoy! Keep it going & check in time to time.. then Blair will read your book & give it a review! ;)
	3:51pm John Dalton: ↳ BC Sterrett @3:40 Glad to help! Merry Christmas!
	4:01pm BC Sterrett: This song is dedicated to mom :)
	4:09pm Mr Fab: I never saw any of those gremlins movies. Does this story have anything to do with the movies? Are they the same characters?
	4:14pm BC Sterrett: Yes, same characters :) Sort of a condensed version of the first film
	4:17pm BC Sterrett: I think that kid is Corey Feldman in the film
	4:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Christmas Haunted House" by "Shirley and Squirrle... That was rather, er, nutty. I have a Shirley and Squirrley record: one of those CB radio country songs.
	4:37pm BC Sterrett: Shirley and Squirrley are a gem!
	4:37pm LdsAuthorgirl: Hello. I'm listening
	4:39pm BC Sterrett: Which song did I dedicate to you earlier?
	4:48pm LdsAuthorgirl: My sound stopped to your station
	4:50pm Mr Fab: Still getting Christmas goodies coming thru my speaker
	4:57pm Mr Fab: That opening PacMan song was pretty cool.
	4:57pm BC Sterrett: Reload Author Girl
	5:05pm BC Sterrett: The Theme Song is the Best Part!
	5:09pm Mr Fab: Getting a Christmas story out of PacMan, a game which has almost no narrative and has nothing to do with Christmas, is pretty durn impressive. Imagine being a writer handed THAT assignment.
	5:13pm BC Sterrett: Ha ha!
	5:15pm Mr Fab: I have a $6 Million Dollar Man Xmas record. He helps Santa after someone is melting the North Pole. Steve Austin fights global warning!
	5:16pm BC Sterrett: Is that the story I should play off that record?!?
	5:23pm MHLee: Hi folks, glad to see we are running here
	5:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @5:15 Ha, of course you would have a copy of it. Play whatever works for you.
	5:36pm BC Sterrett: OK!
	5:37pm MHLee: Peter Pan sems to be all over the place as far as it's budget.
	5:54pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas MHLee!
	6:01pm MHLee: Merry Christmas to you!
	6:03pm Kat in the chat: Oh hey this is on now,’yay!
	6:06pm BC Sterrett: Hey Kat!
	6:13pm BC Sterrett: Mr. Fab, do you know which $6 Mill Dollar Man that is? I can't tell by the titles. Is it "Christmas Lights?"
	6:14pm BC Sterrett: This Radio Shack Record is charmingly fantastic, way better than their Fairy Tale one...
	6:19pm MHLee: Are the vocal talents credited?
	6:24pm BC Sterrett: Only the music composer...
	6:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "My Christmas Card to You" by "The Partridge Family" Such a good song. Really should have been a hit.
	6:26pm BC Sterrett: Says it originally came with a coloring book...hopefully I run into it someday :)
	6:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:13 Don’t remember…
	6:27pm BC Sterrett: I love that Partridge track. It's new to me
	6:28pm BC Sterrett: K, I'm gonna guess on the 6 Mill song
	6:28pm BC Sterrett: story I mean!
	6:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:27 I’d never heard it until I took a chance on a $1 Partridge Family Xmas album. Was def the standout track.
	6:35pm laurapanic: good morning from Boxing Day Been listening awhile, but just popping on here now...
	6:35pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:27 it was lovely
	6:35pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas Laura!
	6:37pm laurapanic: no one is giving a whip that cracks to kids in 2023, sadly
	6:37pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:35 thanks, BC!
	6:39pm BC Sterrett: My older brothers got whips. Guess what the did while I was jumping on the trampoline in the back yard? lol
	6:41pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:39 aaaaaah the good old days!
	6:42pm laurapanic: veering close to Reporter Dick and Santa fanfic for a second there
	6:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "My Christmas Card to You" by "The Partridge Family" My copy did not include the card either…
	6:50pm BC Sterrett: Because of the tiny mouse on the cover, I've had this record in my chipmunk ripoff section.
	6:51pm Mr Fab: Hey Laura! Boxing Day sounds like a pretty strange holiday. Just remember to jab with your left, knock ‘em out with a right hook.
	6:52pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @6:51 I'm on the lookout for a victim right now!
	6:55pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "A Knightrider Christmas" by "Kitt the Amazing Car... does it go for a high price BC?
	6:56pm BC Sterrett: It's just unavailable everywhere
	6:56pm laurapanic: ↳ BC Sterrett @6:56 well, if it ever turns up down here, I'll grab it ahahaa
	7:00pm BC Sterrett: Thank You!!!
	7:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "A Knightrider Christmas" by "Kitt the Amazing Car... Just the fact that these records exist is fairly mind-blowing. Was there nothing that couldn’t be awkwardly shoehorned into a Christmas story?
	7:12pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by "John ... Wow, did you see that fraudster/former inmate Lori Loughlin does a song on this album? Her only discogs credit.
	7:14pm LdsAuthorgirl: I found you!
	7:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Dell Comics" The title “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” is a bit of a spoiler. Kinda kills the suspense.
	7:14pm BC Sterrett: Wow! I did recognize her. I just wish her track was more intersting
	7:15pm LdsAuthorgirl: Yes I can chat but I can't hear
	7:16pm LdsAuthorgirl: So if you put the questions in, I can't hear what the answer is or see it
	7:17pm BC Sterrett: Quiz question for my mother-in-law and anyone else who wants to win a free copy of her Christmas book. What phrase did I say was interesting to hear Batman say on a children's record?
	7:25pm WR: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:17 hmmmm. I heard the comment but already forgot what you said.
	7:27pm BC Sterrett: lol. I'll have more questions soon
	7:31pm MHLee: pretty rough song
	7:36pm LdsAuthorgirl: I was listening. When I was a little girl, they used to put a record on, and we would read the book and turn the pages when they told us to just like this this is legit, but we never read one about Martians
	7:38pm Mr Fab: Four hours in, and BC, the Iron Man of Radio, is still going strong.
	7:39pm BC Sterrett: Save me Halloween for next year :)
	7:39pm BC Sterrett: ↳ MHLee @7:31 Kid Santa Claus? lol
	7:40pm LdsAuthorgirl: Sleepy gogo club!!!
	7:40pm BC Sterrett: ↳ LdsAuthorgirl @7:36 For this record you read the Dell Comic book along with the record.
	7:41pm BC Sterrett: ↳ LdsAuthorgirl @7:40 Close,..."Sleazy Go Go Club." I feel like you're cheating by rewinding the show file. lol
	7:42pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Crispy Christmas-ers!
	7:43pm BC Sterrett: Hello there Austin! Happy Crispy to You!
	7:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:43 I've been "in and out" for a while, but I can finally sit down and listen. I do love all these weird records! I have been wanting to do a "kids" show for a while...
	7:46pm BC Sterrett: ↳ Austin Rich @7:44 I love kids records...
	7:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:46 I scored a bunch not long ago, and I have a TON just from regular thrifting... but your collection runs DEEP. I mostly have a lot of the usual fare. Tons of Disney stuff.
	7:49pm MHLee: Do you have "Get off of My Roof"
	7:53pm BC Sterrett: ↳ MHLee @7:49 ooh, Who is it by?
	7:54pm MHLee: Jerry & The Landslides
	7:54pm BC Sterrett: I do NOT, but that sounds fantastic!
	7:55pm Austin Rich: Those are some silly elf names. None of them would fly in D&D.
	7:55pm MHLee: ↳ BC Sterrett @7:54 it a pretty lowfi garage band recording but you'd recognize the tune
	8:00pm Kat in the chat: I have… questions.
	8:01pm Austin Rich: Yeah... I feel like the questions wouldn't necessarily have great answers.
	8:02pm Kat in the chat: That’s probably why I’m not asking them. Hi Austin!
	8:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:02 Hi Kat! I feel like it's been ages since our paths have crossed.
	8:03pm BC Sterrett: Elvin also has a 45 Single! I may play it, if the song doesn't show up on this record...
	8:05pm Kat in the chat: I come and go. Nice to see you!
	8:06pm Austin Rich: Now Drow Elves are a thing, in D&D, but I'm not sure if "Elvin" is a "canonical" name one of the Drow would adopt.
	8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "You Meet The Nicest People" by "Dinal Shore" Nothing says "Xmas" like Chevrolet and Dina Shore.
	8:10pm Austin Rich: Santa doesn't pay? What about breaks and working conditions? Is this record an expose?
	8:12pm Austin Rich: Maybe an elf that spent a lot of time with humans would go by "Hooper." Okay, I'll let that one slide.
	8:13pm Mr Fab: That song was pretty punk
	8:14pm BC Sterrett: ha ha!
	8:15pm BC Sterrett: So far the 45 single is not on this record... hmmm. I may need to pull that out...
	8:16pm BC Sterrett: What's wrong with fat elves? I like fat elves.
	8:19pm Mr Fab: I guess this record would go well with that “Santa Claus is a Black Man” song.
	8:20pm Kat in the chat: Santa’s fat! Why is the fat shaming selective?
	8:21pm Kat in the chat: That whole thing was breathtakingly bad.
	8:22pm Austin Rich: Whoa! Working conditions are being addressed! This is an expose!
	8:22pm BC Sterrett: Do you have a request for Santa Claus is a Black Man?
	8:23pm Kat in the chat: And now, union busting Santa!
	8:24pm Austin Rich: Environmental issues, too? The Six Million Dollar Man had everything.
	8:24pm Kat in the chat: I love Santa Claus Is A Black Man 🎅🏿
	8:25pm Austin Rich: "Santa Go Straight To The Ghetto" by James Brown?
	8:25pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:24 i.ebayimg.com...
	8:25pm BC Sterrett: Next year, let's save room for stories! Time's almost up!
	8:26pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:25 or by mojo nixon
	8:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:26 We could always use more Mojo Nixon.
	8:28pm BC Sterrett: If you don't have Mojo Nixon then your place could use some fixin!
	8:28pm Austin Rich: "Full sized people?" Oh my!
	8:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ BC Sterrett @8:28 I've heard that!
	8:31pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Santa-Claustrophobia" by "Bugs Bunny and Friends" Man I need to download that.
	8:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:31 I am a sucker for that "Merrily We Roll Along" theme song.
	8:36pm Imaginos: A late ahoy! Just got home
	8:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:36 Wonderful to see you!
	8:38pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:32 I was shocked to find it has lyrics
	8:38pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:37 And you as well
	8:38pm MHLee: There's also a peter pan records version with awful impressions of looney tunes characters
	8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:38 I was pleased to hear the lyrics, too. I love all those old songs that secretly have lyrics.
	8:40pm Imaginos: Miserable "wife" lol!
	8:43pm Austin Rich: My father-in-law often says, "Happy Wife, Happy Life." I assume the opposite is also true.
	8:43pm Imaginos: ↳ MHLee @8:38 Peter pan records was A big source of kids music back in the day
	8:44pm Imaginos: This reminds me of That's My Boy by Stan Freberg
	8:46pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Weach For The Wafter, Santa" by "Kenny Bowers" wild how angry porky looks with the record on his face
	8:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:46 Porky has a lot of secret rage.
	8:49pm Mr Fab: Anyone who thinks snowballs don’t hurt hasn’t been hit by one
	8:50pm BC Sterrett: I'm gonna make a square snow ball and throw it at whoever destroyed that 45!
	8:53pm Austin Rich: This has been a great show, BC! Thanks for teeing me up for success after you!
	8:55pm BC Sterrett: Thanks for being here Austin!
	8:56pm MHLee: Thanks so much for the holiday event
	8:56pm Austin Rich: Whiskey, radio, and... Christmas!? It's like the perfect day.
	8:56pm BC Sterrett: This is probably the final record. Sorry the show had so many problems in the beginning :) All the more material for another year!
	8:58pm BC Sterrett: Merry Christmas Everyone :) Stay tuned for Dimestore Radio Theater!
	11:01pm WR: Many thank yous! I went into a food induced snooze during Elvin the black elf. Will be listening to the rest from the archive. Many thanks!
