Listener comments!

  2:05am
Spencer:

I'm sending this message into the vastness of space... hoping it might reach some other restless soul out there... in the expanse..
  2:07am
Joshua K:

NIGHT PING PONG
  2:09am
Spencer:

PING! Like a ping pong ball!
  2:13am
Spencer:

Yeah, I heard you on Seven Second Delay, Dave. Your phone voice is different than your radio voice... which doesn't really make sense, does it?
  2:16am
Indiana Jordan:

When I was younger, I saw a radio personality in real life who looked nothing like I'd imagined him. And I lost all faith in everything I had believed in up to that point. And that's a true story.
  2:16am
Spencer:

I'm going to keep commenting, even if I'm aaaaall alone... just so I don't doze off in front of my laptop with my headphones on, like last week.
  2:16am
Ken From Hyde Park:

SNAFU = Situation Normal, All Fouled Up. I don't know the source of that, though.
  2:18am
Indiana Jordan:

I missed Tax.
  2:19am
Spencer:

That's a sad story, Jordan. How did you ever rebuild your world after that?
  2:20am
Indiana Jordan:

Lots of therapy. And drugs. I basically funded the entire pharmaceutical industry for a while there.
  2:22am
Spencer:

So now that you've been through all that... what do you think would happen if you saw a picture of Dave and Sandy and they looked nothing like you expected? Are you in a place now where you'd be able to cope with that kind of shock?
  2:25am
Jordan Eash:

I'd like to think I could, but only because I've refrained from picturing them at all. To me, they're just disembodied voices floating around New Jersey somewhere.
  2:28am
Spencer:

Wow... well, then wouldn't finding out that they had a corporeal presence at all be an EVEN bigger shock? It seems you have yet to get to real root of your problems...
  2:29am
Spencer:

Good topic! It's the 40th anniversary this year :)
  2:30am
Spencer:

...and of course that's the first thing they mention...
  2:32am
Joshua K:

Laika was the russian dog
  2:33am
Spencer:

The Russians sent a dog named Laika... first earth-bound life-form to go into orbit.
  2:34am
Spencer:

Keep gettin beaten to the punch!
  2:35am
Joshua K:

The distance around the entire earth is longer than the distance to the moon. So thats not the furthest someone has gone... just the furtherest from the surface.
  2:35am
Indiana Jordan:

Laika was a stray dog. And she was lost out there in the darkness...
  2:36am
Spencer:

Good call Joshua.
  2:36am
Joshua K:

http://tinyurl.com/lhfeoe
  2:37am
Joshua K:

Oh wait I was wrong!!
  2:37am
Joshua K:

The decimal point they stuck in messed me up.
  2:38am
Indiana Jordan:

The moon wins again!
  2:39am
Joshua K:

There is a reflective property of the moon's surface which makes it look lit.
  2:39am
Spencer:

Well, has someone gone around the earth 10 times in a row? Cuz that would beat a moon-trip.
  2:41am
Indiana Jordan:

I think a seat on the Virgin Galactic costs around 500k.
  2:42am
Joshua K:

I think the space station orbits the earth.
  2:44am
Indiana Jordan:

Debunking the conspiracy theories: http://www.clavius.org/
  2:44am
Spencer:

Yes it does. So ... there you go!
  2:46am
Spencer:

Moons over my hammy...
  2:56am
Joshua K:

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/lroc_20090702_a.html
  2:57am
Spencer:

Those pictures are great... love the level of detail.
  2:59am
Joshua K:

NASA is supposed to make an announcement tomorrow, possibly about lost Apollo 11 tapes they have since found.
  3:02am
Spencer:

That would be great! Of course... they'd be fabricated... just like all the other "evidence" that man has gone to the moon. So really, this is just gonna be like "Apollo 11: Director's cut"
  3:04am
Joshua K:

They can release it on bluray with even better special effects
  3:06am
Spencer:

Maybe even toss in a CGI Jabba the Hut for good measure.
  3:09am
Joshua K:

http://wechoosethemoon.org/ is gonna have some "live" thing at the same exact times as 40 years ago
  3:10am
Spencer:

Buzz Aldrin punches out a moon-hoax theorist! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdZd30FHiBo
  3:11am
Ken From Hyde Park:

Evolution Control Committee - http://evolution-control.com/index.php has an mp3 file about the moon. It isn't FCC compliant, though (one or two swear words, used repeatedly). Ken has played their Star Spangled Bologna mashup before.
  3:11am
Joshua K:

I find it hard to believe those guys had to fake all that stuff for days straight without screwing up while people on earth sat there not knowing any better. Even the NASA employees.
  3:12am
Spencer:

Woah... that looks really interesting. I've bookmarked it for later... when my brain can process anything beyond Night People.
  3:14am
Spencer:

As with most conspiracies, the sheer amount of people that would need to be compliant make it totally unfeasible. It'd be easier to go to the moon and back than to trick the world into thinking you have.
  3:16am
Joshua K:

How about how he screwed up that quote and said "one small step for man" instead of "one small step for A man"
  3:18am
jorge:

hellos from spain, what about the flag ? i have listened to a couple of stories about how the america flag moves on the moon on that video, for some people that should prove that they neve go there, weird i guess

sorry for my CRAPPY english
  3:18am
Spencer:

Yeah... I have a hard time deciding which version I like better. "A man" makes more sense... but "man" seems more poetic somehow.
  3:20am
Spencer:

The flag moves because the astronaut moves it.
  3:20am
Joshua K:

There is solar wind up there that causes it to move. That was one of the things they were experimenting with.
  3:25am
Spencer:

I've never heard that before, Joshua K. I'm gonna need some source-citing pleeeease.
  3:27am
Joshua K:

OK solar wind has nothing to do with it, thats not actually wind. But I found this article about the flag:
http://astroprofspage.com/archives/162
  3:30am
Spencer:

Hey Joshua K... is this you?
http://treebeard31.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/calvin.gif
  3:35am
joshua k:

I'm a cartoon!
  3:43am
Joshua K:

Rent an air balloon
  3:43am
Spencer:

Broadcast from Everest.
  3:47am
Spencer:

Radio calisthenics is a real thing! Japan used to have it in the 60s... maybe they still do..
  3:53am
Megan:

There were two flies buzzing around, so I caught them in a plastic water bottle and now they are both laying eggs.
  3:53am
Spencer:

Man... so the actual 40th anniversary of the landing date is this upcoming Tuesday! I want to celebrate somehow... maybe with some sort of moon-admiring party in the park. Any ideas, night people?
  3:54am
Spencer:

That's both cool and gross, Megan. Keep us posted.
  3:55am
Joshua K:

I wonder what fly caviar tastes like
  3:56am
Megan:

The internet says that they'll hatch in a day.
  3:57am
Spencer:

"Maggoty"
  3:57am
Megan:

I'll have a bottle of maggots.
  3:58am
Spencer:

Hmm... I think they might need some food to survive though.
  4:00am
Megan:

I have spagetti.
  4:02am
Joshua K:

Give them some honey
  4:02am
Megan:

I'll have a bottle of maggots and meat sauce.
  4:02am
Spencer:

Do maggots like spaghetti? Just don't give them rice or you won't be able to tell them apart.
  4:03am
Ken From Hyde Park:

Nixon won the 1968 election and went into office in March, 1969. About five months before Apollo 11 took off.
  4:11am
Joshua K:

I recently watched a special about the soviet dolphins they trained for military purposes. Now they use them for swimming with children with disorders.
  4:12am
Spencer:

That's... very beautiful actually!
  4:15am
Spencer:

Those darn satanic entities! Always keepin us organics down...
  4:17am
Joshua K:

No outside horses?
  4:18am
Spencer:

Aw, they should've kept that guy on. He was cool.
  4:22am
Joshua K:

The moon orbit isn't a circle so it depends when you went.
  4:23am
Indiana Jordan:

Good night, everybody!
  4:24am
Spencer:

I've never listened to the show live this far in! This is pretty neat. I'm accomplishing my goal for the night. Just can't fall asleep!
  4:24am
Indiana Jordan:

Good night, moon!
  4:25am
The moon:

Good night, Indiana Jordan
  4:26am
Joshua K:

Frank Edward Nora thinks the moon landing was staged, so tune in to the rampler Friday night/Saturday morning and he will probably talk about it from that perspective.
  4:27am
thomas:

has risen from sleep
  4:28am
thomas:

moon tastes like cheese
  4:28am
Joshua K:

You can't spell thomas without om
  4:28am
thomas:

hmm creepy muzik
  4:30am
Joshua K:

They should get the soundtrack to the movie solaris. it rules.
  4:31am
Spencer:

This music reminds me of the scores those old NFB educational films had
  4:31am
thomas:

definitly a good idea
  4:36am
Spencer:

I can feel my body starting to shift into sleep mode... but I shall resist! I'm resorting to washing my room mates' dishes as a means to stay awake and alert. This music is too dreamy!
  4:50am
Joshua K:

3 more hours of work, I wish I could be asleep.
  4:52am
Joshua K:

http://www27.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=night+people
  4:52am
Spencer:

One man wishes for sleep, while another simply refuses to sleep for no good reason.
  4:56am
Spencer:

What's with the link Joshua?
  4:56am
Joshua K:

I put in night people and it gave me the info for that movie
  4:59am
Spencer:

yeah but WHY?
  5:02am
Joshua K:

I guess thats an alternate title for the movie.
  5:05am
Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm normally asleep at this hour, but there was some leftover pizza and a 2-liter of Mountain Dew in the break room at work late yesterday. I kind of dozed off between 12:30 to 2:00, but awake as can be now. Good thing I didn't slam too much of that Dew. I may need to find some more caffeine later today if I expect to stay awake. Hoo boy.
  5:05am
Spencer:

Interesting... that story has had a lot of titles!
  5:08am
Spencer:

How much longer do you have to stay awake, Ken From Hyde Park?
  5:10am
Megan:

I'm from the west coast
  5:10am
Spencer:

I don't know if I'm a fan of the pre-recorded idea... part of the magic of the show comes from the fact that everyone on it has the Midnight Madness going on.
  5:10am
Joshua K:

Of america?
  5:12am
Joshua K:

http://www10.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=caffeine+vs+meth
  5:13am
Joshua K:

I don't know what all this stuff means.
  5:13am
Ken From Hyde Park:

If I can swing it, until 10PM Thursday. I hope to catch part of Dave The Spazz's live show. Listening to it on radio...won't be at Lincoln Center.
  5:15am
Megan:

Do flies sleep?
  5:17am
Joshua K:

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/bio99/bio99169.htm
  5:18am
Spencer:

Ah, that's doable... it's MOUNTAIN DEWable
  5:20am
Megan:

I should name my flies.
  5:20am
Spencer:

Don't get too attached, Megan.
  5:22am
Megan:

I should build a house for my flies.
  5:22am
Megan:

Then I could get more files and build a city.
  5:23am
Spencer:

You should introduce them to your parents.
  5:24am
Megan:

"Mom, Dad. These are (name) and (name) and we're going to start a new life together."
  5:26am
Spencer:

Name them Dave and Sandy.
  5:26am
Megan:

"These are all of our maggot children."
  5:28am
Megan:

I could name the maggots after nightcallers.
  5:30am
Spencer:

You might end up with more maggots than there are listeners though...
  5:31am
Megan:

3 maggots to each caller.
  5:33am
Spencer:

Or divide them up according to the time they've spent on the air. It'd be a lot of work, but it'd be worth it.
  5:36am
NS Andy:

What work with insects? Do tell... I have a graduate degree in entomology
  5:38am
Spencer:

I'm celebrating making it through an entire show! Prematurely, of course... but I think I got it pretty locked down at this point.
  5:39am
Megan:

What are you doing to celebrate?
  5:41am
Spencer:

Making it through an entire live broadcast of Night People without interruption or falling asleep...
  5:42am
Spencer:

The celebration is to do what it is I'm celebrating... it's the best I can come up with.
  5:44am
jonathan:

kinda tempted to phone in from the uk. guys, start using skype!
  5:47am
Megan:

I'm going to celebrate my maggots' birthdaies (birthdays?). I will give them cake. Do maggots eat cake?
  5:47am
Spencer:

Hear hear, Jonathan. I'm in Canada and I'd like to call in sometime... but the long distance rates....
  5:48am
Spencer:

If it's made out of dead things, they will.
  5:49am
Megan:

Raw hambuger cake?
  5:49am
jonathan:

raw hamburger headset
  5:51am
Spencer:

My mom has a great recipe for raw hamburger cake.
  5:51am
Spencer:

You should call collect, Jonathan.
  5:51am
Joshua K:

Hawaii they walk around with ripped up shorts with a rope belt like the hulk
  5:55am
jonathan:

this is the first time i've listened to this show. i'm digging the awkward banter. you're all insomniacs.
  5:56am
Spencer:

PURPOSEFUL insomniacs.
  5:57am
jonathan:

are you spencer krug?
  5:58am
Spencer:

No... just another Canadian Spencer. I do like his music though!
  5:59am
Joshua K:

Night people has ended, the world can return to normal once again.
  5:59am
jonathan:

congratulations for being the most dedicated of the insomniacs. you should buy some sleeping pills as a little trophy.
  6:00am
Spencer:

And I can honor my body's requests for sleep.
  6:01am
Spencer:

Haha... well, I won't need them. I'll have them bronzed (I live across the street from a trophy shop!) and then fall asleep... but perhaps not in that order. Goodnight everyone! Same time next week?
  6:01am
Megan:

And I can honor my flies.
  6:01am
Spencer:

Goodnight you little maggots!
  6:02am
Megan:

Goodnight!
  6:03am
Megan:

That was the maggots.
  6:04am
Spencer:

They've learned to type! My how they grow up so fast...
  6:04am
jonathan:

goodnight all! (you've all put me in the mood for an 11am nap.)
