Listener comments!
	👻 6:28pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:54pm Imaginos: Ahoy! Looks like a great program tonight
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:54 I hope so. It'll be good to have you in the chat!
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Tuning in on my room sized Philco...
	9:01pm Charles: Rocky owes me 5$.
	9:01pm Imaginos: Thank you.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:01 That's so cool! I have been wanted to get a nice old radio.
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Charles @9:01 You can get it when they knock him out in seven minutes
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:01 You know he's good for it! It might take him a while, but he'll pay you back...
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: I finally tracked down the theme song to "Rocky Fortune." It's titled, "i Remember Harlem," as performed by Roy Eldridge. And as near as I can tell, they just used the version Roy cut for his record. So I now have that instrumental, without any VO or anything! It's very exciting.
	9:04pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 It's a Philco of the imagination, with Pullman car couchettes built in for night listening.
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:04 Ooooo! Even better.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: I'm glad that, even in 1954, people would occasionally turn to ads for romance. I did, a few times, before I met my wife.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 (Though I will admit: they never worked out for me. But I have met plenty of people that it did work for.)
	9:07pm Webhamster Henry: She should watch The Honeymoon Killers when 1970 rolls around. en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:07 I've never seen it. I should check it out.
	9:07pm Charles: That episode is quite quotable.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: I think we all knew Ellie wasn't gonna last long in this episode...
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: We've been iced in here in the Mid-Valley, and a lot of places around us have been snowed in, lost power, or internet, or both. We're sort of hoping that things hold out, as they have so far. But if I loose connection... you know why.
	9:09pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 I never met anyone through an ad. But I was married for five years to A guy I met on a fanfic mailing list
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:09 That sounds like a better way to meet people with similar interests.
	9:14pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 Trouble was that we only had limited similar interests. So eventually we divorced
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: As you can probably tell by now, this particular episode of "Rocky Fortune" is very unlike nearly every other story in the run.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: That offer to pay off Rocky with $5000 in 1954, would be the equivalent of being bribed with $57,015.99 in 2024 currency.
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 Indeed it is
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: Another "From Here to Eternity" reference, which Frank was famous for slipping into everything he was doing, in the lead up and wake of that film being released.
	9:24pm Imaginos: Did he just plug From Here to Eternity?
	9:25pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 Jinx
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: I love this "driving at night" spot. How funny. And: here's the theme song "extended ending" I created...
	9:28pm Mr Fab: Hi, Austin! I am in fact driving at night. Tho I’m stopped now.
	9:28pm Charles: Fancy!
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:28 Ha! Yeah, I think if people couldn't drive at night, a LOT of things would never get done / or happen.
	9:29pm Charles: BoOoOold Venture <3
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:29 I love that announcer.
	9:30pm Charles: The stream cut off?
	9:30pm Webhamster Henry: Moses has upped his game....
	9:30pm Imaginos: Great show, but even though I am not tired this time I don't know if I should keep listening or write the fanfic chapter idea that's in myhead
	9:31pm Imaginos: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:30 😎
	9:32pm univac: Hello!
	9:32pm Webhamster Henry: "Barry Stoller - intimate whisper" "3AK - 32" "The Sidewalk Sounds - Pete's Orgy" ... not Bold Venture though,
	9:33pm univac: Did Austin break Sheena's again?
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: Oh no! Connection issues!
	9:35pm Webhamster Henry: now "9th Wave - Surf on the Nile"
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: Sorry for the connection issues! The internet is spotty, apparently!
	9:36pm univac: Yay!
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: It's all the freezing weather.
	9:36pm univac: You should go out in the freezing snow and adjust the antenna on the top of your house.
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: Thanks for hanging in there, everyone! I'll post a clean version of this show to the archive, after the fact.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: Marla was having the same issues for her Drag Race zoom party yesterday. The ice and snow is no joke!
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: Fortunately, Bold Venture is more about atmosphere and hearing the great dialog, and the plot is sometimes secondary. So hopefully you can still enjoy an incomplete presentation...
	9:41pm univac: It's still great!
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: I could probably listen to Lauren Bacall talk about almost anything.
	9:46pm Webhamster Henry: Chekhov's balcony
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:46 Chekhov had a lot of things named after him, apparently.
	9:47pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 ibid.
	9:51pm Imaginos: I've been going back and forth between the show and the fic. The creative mind has no set schedule.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:51 Do what you need to do. We are all at the beck and call of the muse.
	9:54pm univac: Woop!
	9:55pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 I just kinda had it in the background, the sound design and vocal cadences were excellent, I'm not sure what the story was? Something about a monkey?
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: This scene with them and the gun... it's so eerie, and also... sort of hot?
	9:57pm Imaginos: My apartment smells like leather and amber. I can't stand standard female scents like roses.
	9:59pm Imaginos: sunspots?
	9:59pm univac: Never look away from Sheena.
	10:00pm Webhamster Henry: That story was 90% padding anyway.
	10:00pm Barno in Akron: Lurking!
	10:00pm univac: Hello, Barno!
	10:01pm Barno in Akron: ↳ univac @10:00 Hello, univac!
	10:01pm Barno in Akron: I just listened to my copy of Dragnet by Art of Noise today. Love that track!
	10:01pm Imaginos: What about St George and the Dragonnet?
	10:02pm univac: The Dragnet episode where they busted that kid who was dealing some kind of strong drug, that was pretty OK.
	10:03pm univac: Yes. Super weird.
	10:04pm Webhamster Henry: Get out the Dragnet for Jesus youtu.be...
	10:07pm Webhamster Henry: How about some Broadway Is My Beat? The dialog is weirdly poetic.
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: Popping in to give a whoo for Max Headroom! Been tuned in. Mental note made to not assign my insurance over to any future husband. Shudder.
	10:07pm Imaginos: Awesome! When I'm done with my Imaginos fic, I'm thinking of doing a Max Headroom fic where Plantagenet tries to get back at Bryce for not using the Max Headroom program on his mother, and Bryce gets revenge by tricking him into walking into an empty lift shaft.
	10:08pm univac: Hi Heather!
	10:09pm univac: ↳ Imaginos @10:07 Nice.
	10:09pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:07 greetings, Heather. Hope you're well. I can't wait to meet with you and AUstin for the next part of Lost Christobel.
	👻 10:09pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:08 Hi Univac!
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:09 Hi Imaginos! Yes, let's get on that! That will be fun! Hope you're well, too!
	10:10pm univac: What is Lost Christobel?
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:10 Imaginos wrote a radio drama, and we're gonna try to do it for MVM.
	10:12pm univac: See ya'll, gotta run. Thx Austin!
	👻 10:12pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 It's really neat and very fun!
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:12 See ya later. Take care!
	10:12pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 Awesome!
	👻 10:12pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:12 Bye Univac!
	10:13pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 You too! And good luck with the storm.
	10:13pm univac: ↳ Heather Z @10:12 c-ya
	10:13pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 I am. Been doing more writing lately.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Frank Sinatra: The Voice of Our Time (Part 2)" by... Sorry for the "clicks" in this show. The version of the doc I found doesn't have the best sound.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: This doc underlines something that we're currently dealing with: Republicans using all their power to make life hell for people who don't like their POV. (Frank was dealing with that in the 50s.)
	👻 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:13 Fantastic! I hope to get to some writing one of these days. Been so dry lately. But I've done a lot of crafts lately! That's pretty fun.
	10:16pm Barno in Akron: @Austin Rich, did that Max Headroom interview work out with my bro-in-law?
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: Looks like we lost connection for a moment again. Sorry!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: As I have come to understand, the reason most Blue Beetle shows are in two parts, 15 mins each, was part of the design of the show. It was meant to have an announcer talk in-between maybe play some news, another short feature... if you ran a kids block, you might right part one at the beginning of the show, and the second part at the end. Either way, the show was designed to have a "break" between parts 1 and 2, but it was assumed both parts would be heard in the same day. However, they work just fine separated by a week, too.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:16 I think the holidays made it hard to pin something down, but we do hope to set something up, soon, hopefully.
	10:18pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 I started crafting a flag of Plutonia (BOC emblem) but lost interest for the moment, not in Plutonia, just the weaving.
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:18 I admire that weaving! I'm still on diamond paintings. Not sure when this phase will pass but it's fun for now!
	10:20pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 Groovy. I hope something works out. He say's there's not much to say about it... but I also know he's a great storyteller. So, I'm sure he's underestimating himeself - Haha!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:20 We haven't talked about it on our show yet, so it'll make a good way to frame a conversation about that event, in general.
	10:22pm Barno in Akron: I'm shutting down for the evening, y'all - Excelsior!
	10:23pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Groovy! I look forward to the episode :)
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: Sort of like the original Superman and Batman comics, The Blue Beetle seems to be against evil corporations, and wants to fight for the "little man." (I think both Batman and Superman fought "dope" rings too, just like the Blue Beetle.) In the old days, there was certainly a playbook for characters like this...
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:22 See ya next time!
	10:24pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 like Edison Carter vs Zik Zak?
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: Sorry we keep cutting out! The ice is bad...
	10:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 we forgive you, Austin.
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 We have similar here. Most important thing is stay safe out there!
	10:27pm Webhamster Henry: That lock is going to turn into a Powerpuff girl.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 "Out there?" We don't go outside. Not in weather like this.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:27 I wish! I used to love that show.
	10:29pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 yesterday we had multiple squalls.
	👻 10:30pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Sometimes one must snowblow! But not yet this year here. Thankfully.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: We didn't get snow. We got ice. Layers and layers of ice.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Was it an ice storm? Those get scary. Especially when it's the 90s and you're 16 and stuck at home with no power, no phone, and your parents.
	10:33pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I keep picturing shards of ice being thrown by the wind, like glass pinecones.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: It wasn't officially an ice storm. But the roads and sidewalks are covered in very thick ice, and it's been below freezing for days. We can't really drive or walk on it, so we stay home.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:33 That would almost be sort of pretty.
	10:34pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 almost. but if you ever heard the song "land of the glass pinecones" you'd realize it might be the last thing you see.
	10:34pm Webhamster Henry: We had a bad ice storm about two years ago.. lots of trees were down!
	👻 10:35pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 The ice storms here are pretty and the pinecones get all coated so they look like they're under glass! The weight of the ice on the trees is dangerous, though. Yes! Like Webhamster Henry said!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 We had one that downed our trees a few years ago, so by that measure, this one was very mild. But I have a friend who had his driveway blocked, and will need a chainsaw and a few days work to clear a path for his vehicle. Marla saw some accidents on her store run today. Seems worth avoiding if you ask me.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:34 I don't know that song. I'll have to look into it.
	10:38pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Good song
	10:38pm Imaginos: I'm going to get some sleep?
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:38 Snooze well. Until next time...
	👻 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:38 Sleep well!
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: Boy, this rich businessman who is full of himself and wants to go to space is a dick. I didn't realize Elon Musk was around in 1955...
	👻 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Alas
	10:45pm Webhamster Henry: Atomic blast ... no problem...
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: Boy, I really don't like this main character. It sure would be nice if some sort of justice could be delivered in some way. Unlike in real life, where rich assholes just get their way all the time...
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:45 "They used to just let you explode nukes whenever you want. But now they say you can't do that anymore. What kind of America is this?"
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: At least Crowder's honest? What a jerk.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:50 Yeah. I"m not sure most evil businessmen would be this forward.
	👻 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 He even admitted he doesn't understand the science. Super low bar but still.
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:51 I think most evil businessmen don't understand science. I think that's part of the problem.
	👻 10:52pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 Two weeks pay AND his thanks? I meannnn
	10:53pm Webhamster Henry: D'oh! Stream slippage!
	10:54pm Webhamster Henry: playing "Eric Delaney's Big Beat Six - Big Beat"
	👻 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 They sure don't but they'll sciencesplain all day and all night. But not Crowder! The bar is near the center of the earth, really.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Lost connection again...
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: Damn... this has been the buggiest night yet!
	10:56pm Webhamster Henry: Ice gremlins on the lines!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:56 Seriously. But Sheena keeps trying...
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: He's "Beginning" to distrust? Ha!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks for hanging in there, everyone. It was a rough night, but we made it! See ya next time.
	👻 11:01pm Heather Z: Awesome show even with hiccups! Have a great night, all!

	10:02pm univac: The Dragnet episode where they busted that kid who was dealing some kind of strong drug, that was pretty OK.
	10:03pm univac: Yes. Super weird.
	10:04pm Webhamster Henry: Get out the Dragnet for Jesus youtu.be...
	10:07pm Webhamster Henry: How about some Broadway Is My Beat? The dialog is weirdly poetic.
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: Popping in to give a whoo for Max Headroom! Been tuned in. Mental note made to not assign my insurance over to any future husband. Shudder.
	10:07pm Imaginos: Awesome! When I'm done with my Imaginos fic, I'm thinking of doing a Max Headroom fic where Plantagenet tries to get back at Bryce for not using the Max Headroom program on his mother, and Bryce gets revenge by tricking him into walking into an empty lift shaft.
	10:08pm univac: Hi Heather!
	10:09pm univac: ↳ Imaginos @10:07 Nice.
	10:09pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:07 greetings, Heather. Hope you're well. I can't wait to meet with you and AUstin for the next part of Lost Christobel.
	👻 10:09pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:08 Hi Univac!
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:09 Hi Imaginos! Yes, let's get on that! That will be fun! Hope you're well, too!
	10:10pm univac: What is Lost Christobel?
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:10 Imaginos wrote a radio drama, and we're gonna try to do it for MVM.
	10:12pm univac: See ya'll, gotta run. Thx Austin!
	👻 10:12pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 It's really neat and very fun!
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:12 See ya later. Take care!
	10:12pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 Awesome!
	👻 10:12pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:12 Bye Univac!
	10:13pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 You too! And good luck with the storm.
	10:13pm univac: ↳ Heather Z @10:12 c-ya
	10:13pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 I am. Been doing more writing lately.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Frank Sinatra: The Voice of Our Time (Part 2)" by... Sorry for the "clicks" in this show. The version of the doc I found doesn't have the best sound.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: This doc underlines something that we're currently dealing with: Republicans using all their power to make life hell for people who don't like their POV. (Frank was dealing with that in the 50s.)
	👻 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:13 Fantastic! I hope to get to some writing one of these days. Been so dry lately. But I've done a lot of crafts lately! That's pretty fun.
	10:16pm Barno in Akron: @Austin Rich, did that Max Headroom interview work out with my bro-in-law?
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: Looks like we lost connection for a moment again. Sorry!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: As I have come to understand, the reason most Blue Beetle shows are in two parts, 15 mins each, was part of the design of the show. It was meant to have an announcer talk in-between maybe play some news, another short feature... if you ran a kids block, you might right part one at the beginning of the show, and the second part at the end. Either way, the show was designed to have a "break" between parts 1 and 2, but it was assumed both parts would be heard in the same day. However, they work just fine separated by a week, too.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:16 I think the holidays made it hard to pin something down, but we do hope to set something up, soon, hopefully.
	10:18pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 I started crafting a flag of Plutonia (BOC emblem) but lost interest for the moment, not in Plutonia, just the weaving.
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:18 I admire that weaving! I'm still on diamond paintings. Not sure when this phase will pass but it's fun for now!
	10:20pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 Groovy. I hope something works out. He say's there's not much to say about it... but I also know he's a great storyteller. So, I'm sure he's underestimating himeself - Haha!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:20 We haven't talked about it on our show yet, so it'll make a good way to frame a conversation about that event, in general.
	10:22pm Barno in Akron: I'm shutting down for the evening, y'all - Excelsior!
	10:23pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Groovy! I look forward to the episode :)
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: Sort of like the original Superman and Batman comics, The Blue Beetle seems to be against evil corporations, and wants to fight for the "little man." (I think both Batman and Superman fought "dope" rings too, just like the Blue Beetle.) In the old days, there was certainly a playbook for characters like this...
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:22 See ya next time!
	10:24pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 like Edison Carter vs Zik Zak?
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: Sorry we keep cutting out! The ice is bad...
	10:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 we forgive you, Austin.
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 We have similar here. Most important thing is stay safe out there!
	10:27pm Webhamster Henry: That lock is going to turn into a Powerpuff girl.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 "Out there?" We don't go outside. Not in weather like this.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:27 I wish! I used to love that show.
	10:29pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 yesterday we had multiple squalls.
	👻 10:30pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Sometimes one must snowblow! But not yet this year here. Thankfully.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: We didn't get snow. We got ice. Layers and layers of ice.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Was it an ice storm? Those get scary. Especially when it's the 90s and you're 16 and stuck at home with no power, no phone, and your parents.
	10:33pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I keep picturing shards of ice being thrown by the wind, like glass pinecones.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: It wasn't officially an ice storm. But the roads and sidewalks are covered in very thick ice, and it's been below freezing for days. We can't really drive or walk on it, so we stay home.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:33 That would almost be sort of pretty.
	10:34pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 almost. but if you ever heard the song "land of the glass pinecones" you'd realize it might be the last thing you see.
	10:34pm Webhamster Henry: We had a bad ice storm about two years ago.. lots of trees were down!
	👻 10:35pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 The ice storms here are pretty and the pinecones get all coated so they look like they're under glass! The weight of the ice on the trees is dangerous, though. Yes! Like Webhamster Henry said!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 We had one that downed our trees a few years ago, so by that measure, this one was very mild. But I have a friend who had his driveway blocked, and will need a chainsaw and a few days work to clear a path for his vehicle. Marla saw some accidents on her store run today. Seems worth avoiding if you ask me.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:34 I don't know that song. I'll have to look into it.
	10:38pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Good song
	10:38pm Imaginos: I'm going to get some sleep?
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:38 Snooze well. Until next time...
	👻 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:38 Sleep well!
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: Boy, this rich businessman who is full of himself and wants to go to space is a dick. I didn't realize Elon Musk was around in 1955...
	👻 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Alas
	10:45pm Webhamster Henry: Atomic blast ... no problem...
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: Boy, I really don't like this main character. It sure would be nice if some sort of justice could be delivered in some way. Unlike in real life, where rich assholes just get their way all the time...
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:45 "They used to just let you explode nukes whenever you want. But now they say you can't do that anymore. What kind of America is this?"
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: At least Crowder's honest? What a jerk.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:50 Yeah. I"m not sure most evil businessmen would be this forward.
	👻 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 He even admitted he doesn't understand the science. Super low bar but still.
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:51 I think most evil businessmen don't understand science. I think that's part of the problem.
	👻 10:52pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 Two weeks pay AND his thanks? I meannnn
	10:53pm Webhamster Henry: D'oh! Stream slippage!
	10:54pm Webhamster Henry: playing "Eric Delaney's Big Beat Six - Big Beat"
	👻 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 They sure don't but they'll sciencesplain all day and all night. But not Crowder! The bar is near the center of the earth, really.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Lost connection again...
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: Damn... this has been the buggiest night yet!
	10:56pm Webhamster Henry: Ice gremlins on the lines!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:56 Seriously. But Sheena keeps trying...
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: He's "Beginning" to distrust? Ha!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks for hanging in there, everyone. It was a rough night, but we made it! See ya next time.
	👻 11:01pm Heather Z: Awesome show even with hiccups! Have a great night, all!
