Brian in UK:

Hello Joe, Back from Istanbul, yes you have to go. Sooner rather than later. Will send some detailed feedback later
  3:27am
Joe:

Sorry I'm not playing Turkish music instead of Italian by way of the U.K.! Thanks for checkin' in. Look forward to at least one good recommendation later.
  3:51am
Sue:

Hey, Joe! Good morning! How are you?
  3:52am
Joe:

Hey, Sue! How is you??
  3:57am
Sue:

I'm good. Got a hectic morning ahead of me, graduation stuff... what's new by you?
  4:04am
Joe:

You graduatin'? School of hard knocks?
  4:07am
Sue:

In a way... :) I gotta travel to Queens and I'm not exactly next door.
  4:09am
Joe:

Aren't you in Seattle?? No, wait--you moved, right?
  4:11am
Sue:

Wow, you certainly have a good memory. Yes, I moved back here. No more west coast for me, not for awhile anyway. At least I'm up early and able to catch your show again.
  4:14am
Joe:

I'm surprised! You should get some rest for your graduation, otherwise you'll be all stumbly on the platform. Are you going to paint something funny on your hat?
  4:18am
Sue:

Well, the thing is, before the ceremony, I'm also picking up a coworker in Summit, about an hour away, and I gotta be there by about 7:30. ugh... need coffee... and, yeah, I hadn't thought about painting something on my hat. Any suggestions?
  4:20am
Joe:

How about "Hire Me"?
  4:23am
Sue:

lol... that's a good one. i don't know if i have the guts to do that though
  4:28am
Sue:

i really like that When the World Turns song but i haven't heard it before. is it from something? i feel like i should know it.
  4:29am
Joe:

It DOES sound familiar....I
  4:36am
Joe:

Any ideas, Sue? I can't think of it, but it's back there in my brain...
  4:48am
Sue:

i was thinking that maybe i was confusing it with soap operas or something. the band name and song title sound like soap operas, don't they?
  4:50am
Joe:

Oh, yeah! "As the World Turns" was on for years. Too bad that wasn't the theme song!
  5:13am
Sue:

i was thinking From Here to Eternity also but that's a movie, oops
  5:20am
Joe:

Yeah, Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr on the beach!
  5:28am
Sue:

Is that a good movie?
  5:28am
Sue:

wow, that's awesome you're playing this
  5:32am

Glad you're liking the show, Sue!
