Listener comments!
	👻 8:14pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:59pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:59 Nice to see you in the chat tonight, Imaginos! We've got some good ones this time.
	9:01pm Imaginos: Nine minutes and whap!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:01 Any other guesses?
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Yes, that is Rocky The Flying Squirrel making eyes at Rocky Fortune in this episode.
	9:05pm Imaginos: First gal sounds familiar. Did she do St George and the Dragonnet?
	9:07pm Imaginos: Missed by two minutes
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: I realize that Rocky told a story about visiting Paris in a very early episode. So the reason he refers to police as "Gendarmerie" is not completely out of the blue.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: (Though, since Rocky is not very forthcoming with his own past, it is rare that he gives any kind of history to anyone.)
	👻 9:10pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone!
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:10 yerfriendpaul! Thanks for droppin' in. Rocky already got knocked out once, but there's still time!
	👻 9:11pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @9:11 Ha ha!
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: I have been considering the notion of collecting some of the best commercials from "Dimestore Radio Theater," for some sort of digtal release. Is there any interest in something like that?
	9:14pm Imaginos: In every mystery there's a wall thin enough to hear through with an Air duct wide enough to crawl through
	9:15pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 I would be
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:14 This is why we can't have a mystery in my house. Our air ducts are so narrow.
	9:17pm Imaginos: Dug out canoe!
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: Of course, it does become harder and harder to believe that Sergeant Hamilton J. Finger wouldn't trust Rocky at this point, considering how many previous encounters they've had, and how often Rocky is right. Still, it offers enough friction for the plot, when necessary.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: Spicy Letters! A tried a true trope in mysteries.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: I love suits of armor, and I particularly love when they appear in cheesy movies from the 40's and 50's. If a movie is set in a mansion and there's decorative suits of armor... and maybe ghosts?... then I am in heaven!
	9:25pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 Also perfect for bathing cats
	9:26pm Dean: The Tudor exhibition a few months ago at SF's Palace of the Legion of Honor featured an amazing suit of armor.
	👻 9:26pm Heather Z: Another "Oil Me" here on Dimestore! I'm thrilled!
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Museum Murder"" by "Rocky Fortune" I worked in a museum, as the inventory manager for the gift shop. This episode sort of tickled my fancy, and jogged some memories.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dean @9:26 Very cool! I love museums.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 And I think it was the same writer for both, if I'm not mistaken!
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: Anti-Communist Propaganda! "Same as it ever was..."
	👻 9:28pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 Fantastic! I've got to remember to use that line some day!! Totally gonna rip it off.
	👻 9:28pm yerfriendpaul: Interesting to hear the anti communism stuff
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: Hello Imaginos, Dean, Heather Z and yerfriendpaul! We've got more coming up. Stay tuned!
	9:29pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 Excellent
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:28 Yeah, I almost cut it, but... then I found it too curious, and had to leave it in.
	9:43pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:43 Thanks for joining us, Barno! Thanks for setting us up, last hour!
	9:49pm Imaginos: Sent you a new picture
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:49 Thank you! I'll check it out after the show.
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: He threatened Sailor, so you know he sucks.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: It all worked out! As usual.
	👻 9:58pm Heather Z: It must have been so hard not to crack up when he said, "like this?" With a pucker! So good!
	9:58pm Imaginos: You sound good
	10:02pm Barno in Akron: Thanks for the kind words, Austin :)
	10:03pm Imaginos: The horse picture is Desdinova riding the horse Imaginos
	10:04pm Imaginos: I thought she sounded familiar
	10:05pm laurapanic: bit late but here for my olde worlde radio fix
	10:05pm Maulydaft: June Foray did voice acting from 1930s until 2017! (she died at 99) She's amazing! :D
	10:06pm Maulydaft: But who doesn't love Rocky the Flying Squirrel??
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: I'll laugh every time RuPaul makes that joke! Even better when the queen doesn't get it. In the newsroom, however, on Max. Yeahhhhh
	10:08pm Imaginos: ↳ Maulydaft @10:06 Boris and Natasha
	10:09pm Maulydaft: Can't wait to hear more 1920s radio - thanks!
	10:10pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:08 hahaha!
	👻 10:11pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:08 I did and do still have a huge crush on Natasha. Fashion Icon and so much more!
	10:12pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:11 She was lovely.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:11 I think my first crush was Theora from Max Headroom. I don't think I thought about girls before that.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Frank Sinatra: The Voice of Our Time (Part 4)" by... I've mentioned this before, but this documentary only exists in a VHS tape form, that someone uploaded to YouTube. So there's a weird clicking sounds that is an artifact from the VHS transfer. I tried to correct some of it, but It is what it is.
	👻 10:13pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:12 Perfection! My dad is still a huge Rocky and Bullwinkle fan so we tuned in whenever it was broadcast. We all loved the show!
	10:14pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Don't blame you. Theirs was strong and beautiful
	10:14pm Imaginos: Theora.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:13 There's some good "Boris & Natasha" bits in the Rocky & Bullwinkle Reboot, lots of guest voices, and as mentioned, music by Weird Al. Sad it didn't go longer than one season, but thems the breaks.
	👻 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 Goodness, I think eariest I can remember for a crush on a boy from TV was Bowser from ShaNaNa? Little has changed, apparently.
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 I tried to re-listen to some Shanana music, and I just couldn't get into it. I remember all the faux 50's retro stuff from when we were growing up, but it never really grabbed me.
	10:17pm Maulydaft: One 15 min (sort of) serial radio show from 1935 is Origin of Superstitions. Somehow both hokey and really interesting!
	10:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 My very first crush was Druuna from Heavy Metal
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:17 Ooooooo. That could be good for Halloween!
	10:17pm Imaginos: The mag
	👻 10:18pm yerfriendpaul: Ethel!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:17 Oh, yeah! But I think I saw that after Max, both the Magazine and the Movie. (I remember my mom getting some Heavy Metal magazines in at her used bookstore, and being VERY fascinated.)
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:18 I not-so-secretly LOVE Ethel Merman. She is fantastic.
	👻 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 Maybe I'll look them up after your show! I very vaguely remember watching with the family and I liked them very well when I was a kid!!
	10:19pm Imaginos: The Unexpected was a good 15 minute show
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 Iconic!! She's so good. So good!! Always!
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:19 I found some LPs in a thrift store, so I took a throw, for a dollar apiece. They just didn't work for me.
	👻 10:20pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 She was tremendous in Mad Mad Mad Mad World. And “Anything you can do “ is so great
	10:21pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 Oooo I'm intrigued - this is a "later" one. I'm going to listen to one when Dimesstore is done!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:20 I also not-so-secretly love that movie, but when I sit down to watch it, I always forget how long it is!
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 I'll investigate! Thanks for the tip.
	👻 10:22pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 It is a long one, you’re right. But there’ are so many great moments
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:22 I treat it like a TV Mini-Series, and watch it in installments. It works very well like that, as it is a lot of stand-alone jokes with a story around it.
	10:24pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 Huh - one site says it aired in 1958 and archive.org says 1948...
	👻 10:24pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 That’s a good plan!
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:24 That is the challenge of OTR research. You gotta find at least three sources so you can "triangulate" the truth.
	10:26pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 So true!!!
	10:27pm Imaginos: Also look up Five Minute Mysteries
	10:28pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:27 I've been hearing those on OTR radio - they are fun! The organ music gets stuck in my head :D
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: While I have done a lot of research, and I try to make sure that my playlists are accurate (and the stuff that I say during the breaks is true), I am nervous, because it is a crapshoot, and I have to tap out at a point, and just trust that something I found is likely the MOST true. Still, we can get pretty accurate with a little patience. Still... I am willing to admit that I'm wrong about ALL of it, because there are a lot of places where I can (and probably have been) misled.
	10:29pm Imaginos: ↳ Maulydaft @10:28 Otr.. You mean the App? I have that too
	10:31pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:29 I have an internet radio and have several stations programmed (lots of mystery and crime) I use the OTR App on my phone too :D I'm always listening to something in my free time!
	10:32pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Yeah it's really tricky. I'm writing a book/zine on radio right now, with a big section on radio dramas... sometimes you just get so frustrated on the lack of info available...
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: I highly recommend the podcast, "Down These Mean Streets," which includes LOTS of research, a nice host, and they do other shows, if you like their style. ("Stars on Suspense" is fun," and I think there's a third, even?) I can't keep up, but it's a good listen when I tune in. downthesemeanstreetspodcast.libsyn.com
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:32 I will want this zine when you are done!
	10:33pm Maulydaft: Ooo sounds great- thanks!
	10:33pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I'll send it to you - Dimestore is in it!
	10:34pm Imaginos: Can't wait to resume our special project
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:33 Woah! Very cool!
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:34 Yes! I hope we can get to that soon.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""To The Future"" by "X-Minus One" This is one of my favorite "Dimension X / X Minus One" stories, and one of my favorite Bradbury stories, too. I've ripped this off so many time, and I think about it often. There's something about it that seems way too possible.
	10:36pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 hahaha! Episode 560 - Monkey Business (Philip Marlowe, The Saint, & Rocky Fortune) - I love those shows with chimps :D
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:36 Yeah, he does some VERY funny "themed" shows that are GREAT!
	10:38pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Yeah this one is great! it starts of so "normal"...
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:38 I have used "The Searchers" as "anonymous evil bad guys" in so many stories...
	10:40pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Like Stephen King and The Shop
	👻 10:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Only borrow from the best! You did well!
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:40 He re-uses a lot of stuff, throughout his stories.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: I think we're gonna go four or so minutes over. Sorry about that!
	10:42pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 He used the same people but in different ways in Desperation and The Regulators
	👻 10:44pm yerfriendpaul: This is so great
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: Where my mind goes, if there was Time Travel and if you could take vacations, is that the cost would be ASTONISHING. Probably only affordable for the truly rich, who wouldn't be needed for their science skills during times of war. At least, that's where my mind goes.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:42 True! And I think a lot of the same stuff turns up in the Dark Tower and connected books.
	10:45pm Imaginos: Is she really sick like 12 monkeys?
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:45 She doesn't exhibit any illnesses after this, so I think it was an excuse to leave the room.
	10:48pm Webhamster Henry: Hi folks ! I was editing video so I'll have to catch the archives!
	10:48pm Imaginos: Speaking of time travel have you seen Spirit of 76?
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:48 Nice to see you, even for a moment.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:48 I have not.
	10:51pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:48 Wow... THAT looks interesting!!
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: While it is awkward to hear the slightly racist comment from the Hollywood director... it's unfortunately not surprising?
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:51 Yeah, I'm curious.
	10:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 Funny. They're supposed to go back to 1776 to save the Declaration and accidentally and up in 1976
	10:53pm Imaginos: Its on Vudu
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:52 I have often thought about how hard it would be to land at a "precise" moment, at least in my mind. Seems like it would easy to be "slightly off."
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: "You've been incredibly romantic, running away from your responsibilities." "It's only a war..."
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: The joys of the past that are no longer possible. This is why time travel would be so expensive.
	10:57pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 And there lies the biggest issues with old entertainment... SIGH
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: That NBC "carcrash" SFX that I've heard in a million shows.
	10:58pm Imaginos: I wish Amazing Stories did a story about taking a time machine driving test
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:58 That would have been a good episode! I was thinking about re-watching some of those. I loved them when they were on.
	👻 10:59pm yerfriendpaul: Don’t go to the party!!
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:59 Right?! Ahh
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:59 What could possibly go wrong?
	11:00pm Imaginos: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:59 My thought too
	👻 11:00pm yerfriendpaul: I got a bad feeling about this!
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: About to close up shop, friends! Thanks for joining me on this adventure! See ya next time!
	👻 11:01pm Heather Z: Night, all! Thanks for a fun evening! And Austin foe a great show as always!
	11:02pm Imaginos: Great show
	👻 11:03pm Austin Rich: "The Leprosy Bomb" sounds pretty gnarly.
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: I knew housekeepers who would often find full, unopened bottled in rooms they cleaned. We used to party on "found" booze, fairly often.
	👻 11:05pm yerfriendpaul: Love these C Minus Ones, Thanks Austin!
	👻 11:05pm yerfriendpaul: X minus ones
	11:06pm Imaginos: Good night

	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:17 Ooooooo. That could be good for Halloween!
	10:17pm Imaginos: The mag
	👻 10:18pm yerfriendpaul: Ethel!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:17 Oh, yeah! But I think I saw that after Max, both the Magazine and the Movie. (I remember my mom getting some Heavy Metal magazines in at her used bookstore, and being VERY fascinated.)
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:18 I not-so-secretly LOVE Ethel Merman. She is fantastic.
	👻 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 Maybe I'll look them up after your show! I very vaguely remember watching with the family and I liked them very well when I was a kid!!
	10:19pm Imaginos: The Unexpected was a good 15 minute show
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 Iconic!! She's so good. So good!! Always!
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:19 I found some LPs in a thrift store, so I took a throw, for a dollar apiece. They just didn't work for me.
	👻 10:20pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 She was tremendous in Mad Mad Mad Mad World. And “Anything you can do “ is so great
	10:21pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 Oooo I'm intrigued - this is a "later" one. I'm going to listen to one when Dimesstore is done!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:20 I also not-so-secretly love that movie, but when I sit down to watch it, I always forget how long it is!
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 I'll investigate! Thanks for the tip.
	👻 10:22pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 It is a long one, you’re right. But there’ are so many great moments
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:22 I treat it like a TV Mini-Series, and watch it in installments. It works very well like that, as it is a lot of stand-alone jokes with a story around it.
	10:24pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 Huh - one site says it aired in 1958 and archive.org says 1948...
	👻 10:24pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 That’s a good plan!
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:24 That is the challenge of OTR research. You gotta find at least three sources so you can "triangulate" the truth.
	10:26pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 So true!!!
	10:27pm Imaginos: Also look up Five Minute Mysteries
	10:28pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:27 I've been hearing those on OTR radio - they are fun! The organ music gets stuck in my head :D
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: While I have done a lot of research, and I try to make sure that my playlists are accurate (and the stuff that I say during the breaks is true), I am nervous, because it is a crapshoot, and I have to tap out at a point, and just trust that something I found is likely the MOST true. Still, we can get pretty accurate with a little patience. Still... I am willing to admit that I'm wrong about ALL of it, because there are a lot of places where I can (and probably have been) misled.
	10:29pm Imaginos: ↳ Maulydaft @10:28 Otr.. You mean the App? I have that too
	10:31pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:29 I have an internet radio and have several stations programmed (lots of mystery and crime) I use the OTR App on my phone too :D I'm always listening to something in my free time!
	10:32pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Yeah it's really tricky. I'm writing a book/zine on radio right now, with a big section on radio dramas... sometimes you just get so frustrated on the lack of info available...
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: I highly recommend the podcast, "Down These Mean Streets," which includes LOTS of research, a nice host, and they do other shows, if you like their style. ("Stars on Suspense" is fun," and I think there's a third, even?) I can't keep up, but it's a good listen when I tune in. downthesemeanstreetspodcast.libsyn.com
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:32 I will want this zine when you are done!
	10:33pm Maulydaft: Ooo sounds great- thanks!
	10:33pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I'll send it to you - Dimestore is in it!
	10:34pm Imaginos: Can't wait to resume our special project
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:33 Woah! Very cool!
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:34 Yes! I hope we can get to that soon.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""To The Future"" by "X-Minus One" This is one of my favorite "Dimension X / X Minus One" stories, and one of my favorite Bradbury stories, too. I've ripped this off so many time, and I think about it often. There's something about it that seems way too possible.
	10:36pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 hahaha! Episode 560 - Monkey Business (Philip Marlowe, The Saint, & Rocky Fortune) - I love those shows with chimps :D
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:36 Yeah, he does some VERY funny "themed" shows that are GREAT!
	10:38pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Yeah this one is great! it starts of so "normal"...
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:38 I have used "The Searchers" as "anonymous evil bad guys" in so many stories...
	10:40pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Like Stephen King and The Shop
	👻 10:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Only borrow from the best! You did well!
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:40 He re-uses a lot of stuff, throughout his stories.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: I think we're gonna go four or so minutes over. Sorry about that!
	10:42pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 He used the same people but in different ways in Desperation and The Regulators
	👻 10:44pm yerfriendpaul: This is so great
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: Where my mind goes, if there was Time Travel and if you could take vacations, is that the cost would be ASTONISHING. Probably only affordable for the truly rich, who wouldn't be needed for their science skills during times of war. At least, that's where my mind goes.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:42 True! And I think a lot of the same stuff turns up in the Dark Tower and connected books.
	10:45pm Imaginos: Is she really sick like 12 monkeys?
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:45 She doesn't exhibit any illnesses after this, so I think it was an excuse to leave the room.
	10:48pm Webhamster Henry: Hi folks ! I was editing video so I'll have to catch the archives!
	10:48pm Imaginos: Speaking of time travel have you seen Spirit of 76?
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:48 Nice to see you, even for a moment.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:48 I have not.
	10:51pm Maulydaft: ↳ Imaginos @10:48 Wow... THAT looks interesting!!
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: While it is awkward to hear the slightly racist comment from the Hollywood director... it's unfortunately not surprising?
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:51 Yeah, I'm curious.
	10:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 Funny. They're supposed to go back to 1776 to save the Declaration and accidentally and up in 1976
	10:53pm Imaginos: Its on Vudu
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:52 I have often thought about how hard it would be to land at a "precise" moment, at least in my mind. Seems like it would easy to be "slightly off."
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: "You've been incredibly romantic, running away from your responsibilities." "It's only a war..."
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: The joys of the past that are no longer possible. This is why time travel would be so expensive.
	10:57pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 And there lies the biggest issues with old entertainment... SIGH
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: That NBC "carcrash" SFX that I've heard in a million shows.
	10:58pm Imaginos: I wish Amazing Stories did a story about taking a time machine driving test
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:58 That would have been a good episode! I was thinking about re-watching some of those. I loved them when they were on.
	👻 10:59pm yerfriendpaul: Don’t go to the party!!
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:59 Right?! Ahh
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:59 What could possibly go wrong?
	11:00pm Imaginos: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:59 My thought too
	👻 11:00pm yerfriendpaul: I got a bad feeling about this!
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: About to close up shop, friends! Thanks for joining me on this adventure! See ya next time!
	👻 11:01pm Heather Z: Night, all! Thanks for a fun evening! And Austin foe a great show as always!
	11:02pm Imaginos: Great show
	👻 11:03pm Austin Rich: "The Leprosy Bomb" sounds pretty gnarly.
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: I knew housekeepers who would often find full, unopened bottled in rooms they cleaned. We used to party on "found" booze, fairly often.
	👻 11:05pm yerfriendpaul: Love these C Minus Ones, Thanks Austin!
	👻 11:05pm yerfriendpaul: X minus ones
	11:06pm Imaginos: Good night
