Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:32pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	♥ 8:10pm WR: Hi Austin, hope nothing major made you miss last week, just a last minute, had to work thingy or oops the dog ate my show type of thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy!
	♥ 9:01pm Scott_Oz: G'day Austin & Dimes! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @8:10 It wasn't anything major at all! I tried to get coverage, but it didn't work out. I had a last minute chance to see a show that I couldn't pass up, so I put on a mask and drove two hours, round trip, to see it. Sadly, the show was PRECISELY when Dimestore Radio Theater was on the air. Like I said, I tried to get coverage, but it just wasn't in the cards. But I'm not sorry. The show was great.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:01 Good Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm really excited about this week. The Veldt is one of my favorite Bradbury stories. Embroidery is my favourite.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:01 As always: wonderful to see you, Scott! I need some chips or crisps now, with all that food talk last week.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:03 Veldt is certainly high up there for me, too. It's VERY creepy.
	9:04pm Charles: Longing for Ladd ~
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:04 And some of it came true
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:04 A Little Lovely Ladd, for our Monday Mania.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:04 Ray had a talent, like Max Headroom, for predicting the future in eerie ways.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Can you imagine if Bradbury wrote an episode of Max Headroom
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:07 Do you recall that 80's era "Ray Bradbury Theater" show? It would probably be something like that.
	9:08pm Charles: Holy mackarel !!
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Indeed. That was one of the better shows of the era.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:09 I loved that Ray Bradbury Theater. I need to track those down... I bet I would enjoy them a lot now.
	9:10pm Charles: I think Kling will believe it. If anything the first thing he must say when he sees Dan now is "who knocked you out this time Holiday?"
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:10 I feel like they occasionally have Kling not trust Dan as much as he actually would, given their relationship. I think that happens a lot in serialized detective / noir type shows. Realistically, you would have a better reputation with an officer you saw so often.
	♥ 9:13pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 One of the best reasons, who did you see?
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Pawn shops are the easiest places to switch around. Pawn out what you want to hide.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: 4:20, man!
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Shoe Event Horizon
	♥ 9:16pm WR: ↳ Charles @9:10 LOL. Yes, that would be better continuity.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:13 Unwound, on one of their few reunion tour dates. I saw them a bunch in the 90's, with the best man at my wedding. (Well before I was married.) So he decided to see several of the shows on the tour, and I joined him for one of the Portland shows. It was like a dose of nostalgia, for sure; I must have saw them play those same songs, 25 years ago, lots. So to see them again was emotional. I dropped WAY too much on one-of-a-kind merch from the tour.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 I think about jokes from those Hitchhiker's books at least once a day.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 If you like Douglas Adams, you should read Christopher Moore
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Winslow Homer was a Civil War era solder. A union soldier. Dan's comment that you wouldn't know who Winslow Homer is might have been a suggestion that the gent he was talking to was "Southern".
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Counterfeiting ring?
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:18 I'll take that recommendation. I see his books at work often, so I should just get one.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Go with A Dirty Job.
	9:22pm Heather: Oh boy! The Veldt?! So psyched! Tuned in and poking at paints! I'll be back when my eyes decide we're done with fine lines for the evening.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:21 I think I mentioned that I'm deep in the Akira comic book these days. (The English translation.) Since a lot of people say it is an essential Cyberpunk text, I figured I would re-read it for the podcast.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:22 Nice to see you, Heather! Always a pleasure.
	♥ 9:25pm WR: Lots of action in this episode.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 The series that asks what would happen if you introduce modern intelligence into an amoeba and started evolution with that cell?
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:25 Shows like this make you realize how people could get glued to radio shows. The action is as good as anything else at the time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:25 Good Night, Suzy!
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 Lol!😎
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: That was not meant to be a response to your comment, Imaginos. Just a general comment.
	9:29pm Charles: How many Box 13 episodes are left Austin?
	9:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 I Thought that Winslow Homer was a famous artist
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:29 9.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Excellent music
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:29 Oh, did I get it backwards? Perhaps he painted Civil War folks...
	♥ 9:30pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 My assumption was that since Winslow Homer was a painter of note that it was that they were uncouth, didn't know art history. en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:30 Yep, I got it backwards, again. Whoops.
	♥ 9:32pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Yes, several of his well-known paintings are of the Civil War.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:32 The source of my mix-up. I must have gotten the names transposed in my quick research.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Shannon Framed For Murder"" by "Bold Venture" This episode aired on my Birthday, but 24 years before I was born.
	9:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Twilight Time" by "The Three Suns" A thrift store/bargain bin staple! But worth picking up, has a nice, weird mood.
	9:34pm Charles: That Bold Venture picture always cracks me up. Small Bogart looks uneasy around Bacall's giant head.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:34 I was trying to find an "ad" for the show that was period, but this was a little more readable for Sheena's purposes.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:34 Yeah, that tune rules.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: This episode gets very dark.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: This episode sort of has a Columbo sort of vibe to it. We know who "did it" up front, and the episode shows our team slowly learn the truth during the episode.
	9:41pm Charles: Your escape-proof jail had ajust one job to do...
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: "She gave me four hours out of her life." That sounds like code.
	9:42pm Charles: Oh how I'd love to listen to a Columbo radio show. Even more if it had Peter Falk.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: "Books, teas, the theater."
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:42 It's probably time to do a Columbo binge. I miss that show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: I love tamales. Is that my problem?
	♥ 9:45pm WR: Hah, tamales are not common in Cuba.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:45 Maybe she ate them before she moved to Cuba? Or, perhaps, she makes them herself? (I'm adding a lot of head-cannon for this one-off character.)
	9:47pm Charles: I don't say it enough but your fake commercials are always great Austin :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:47 I've been thinking about making a collection of the best commercials, for my Patreon. But I don't think anyone is on there for Dimestore Radio Theater, and I'm not sure I can really talk about it on Sheena's.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that Slate talks to himself.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Double crossed
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: Box 12? Does Dan have a cousin in Havana?
	9:52pm Charles: Box 12 !
	9:54pm wenzo: Hellooooo
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:54 Good Hello, wenzo!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: I'm sure the writer's thought it would be funny to have a comedian be the killer. He doesn't kill on stage... just off.
	♥ 9:57pm WR: Touch it!
	9:58pm Mr Fab: were there any real-life comedian murderers? if so, what were their jokes like?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Don't know about comedians just a clown or two
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Was lurking and playing Sims.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: In every film book I've read, they stress how Casablanca was just a, "studio picture," and that it was just another movie that Hollywood was cranking out. But when I watch it now, it really holds up in a way that not a lot of other films from that era do. It's a classic for a reason.
	♥ 10:11pm drowsy: Hi Austin! Hey one of the doco guys sounded like Melvyn Bragg.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:11 I'll have to check. I have the video this came from on my computer somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 It's certainly a UK documentary.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 Here's a link to the source I used for this doc: youtu.be...
	♥ 10:17pm drowsy: Seems like came from 'South Bank Show' Not important! I just like Bragg from his 'In Our Time' BBC podcast. Hearing his voice and yours is good radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:17 I'll have to check out the podcast. I am a sucker for those BBC guys.
	10:18pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 Iconic. Folks quote lines from it to this day.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 If you like BBC you should check out Old Harry's Game
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:19 Will do. Thanks for the tip. Usually, I find English Documentaries to be very compelling. I like the pace. I was re-watching those, "Shock of The New" documentaries and I just love the snark.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Post hypnotic suggestion
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ruling the world is overrated.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 I would much rather rule the Mid-Valley. It's more fun here.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I can't rule. The cat won't let me.
	10:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 haha!
	10:32pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 My cat claims HE already rules the world. Which.... he kind of does.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: Like with a lot of the later Dimension X episodes, we mostly have fan recordings that persist into the modern age. So some of the shows from this end-run have shoddy sound. I did a little EQ on this one, to try and improve things. But there's only so much you can do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @10:32 All cats think they rule, but the mice know better
	♥ 10:33pm drowsy: ↳ Song: ""The Veldt"" by "Dimension X" ennui MUST be avoided.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: We have one cat that rules the roost. We have another that takes everything as it comes, and is lazy and affected by nothing. I love how different they are.
	10:34pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:33 Thank goodness we haven't run into that issue! Nigel has many skills but hunting is not among them! I'm the better mouser and my go to is to turn into a cartoon lady and grab my hair when I see one!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:33 How much they used to worry about what we would do with all this leisure time that we would be plagued with... I sometimes wonder where all that free time went.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: "Go ahead. Just think."
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: I need to sample this episode for a future project.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: "What else are we working for?"
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Peter and Wendy, those are names that would never lead kids into trouble.
	♥ 10:38pm drowsy: I didn't know this was going to be a ChatGPT demo. Nice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: Medium and No starch? What madness is this!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Does the narrator breathe?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:38 Occasionally. That's Norman Rose, or as he was known in his heyday, "The Voice of God."
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: "Too much time to think." Oh, the burden of modern life.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Why would the nursery maintain the kids illusion when they aren't there?
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: So, with too much leisure time, our wives will start to question their own existence, our husbands will start drinking too much, and our children will become obsessed with the animals on the African Veldt. That sounds legit, right?
	10:47pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 There's worse things to be obsessed with, I suppose?
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: The idea that parents don't believe that their own children are capable of lying. That seems truly unbelievable.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 Its the old "not my kuds" syndrome
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: In typical 1950's sci-fi fashion, there seems to be a lot of concern about the horrors that lurk in... gulp... family life!
	10:51pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 I mean......
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: "I don't want to do anything but look and listen and smell."
	10:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 Same, Peter. Same.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Oh they will smell alright
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: We're gonna go a few minutes over. Thanks for joining me, friends!
	10:54pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Yay!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder if this influenced Jumanji.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: I just watched a bunch of Star Trek stories about a block of computer data that won't let itself be deleted. Old ideas die hard.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: These parents are soft.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Tender you mean
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: There's an episode of Amazing Stories, about parents that put their parents in a zoo, that's sort of unnerving in this same way.
	11:00pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @11:00 😂
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: I wonder why I never had any kids?

	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:42 It's probably time to do a Columbo binge. I miss that show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: I love tamales. Is that my problem?
	♥ 9:45pm WR: Hah, tamales are not common in Cuba.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:45 Maybe she ate them before she moved to Cuba? Or, perhaps, she makes them herself? (I'm adding a lot of head-cannon for this one-off character.)
	9:47pm Charles: I don't say it enough but your fake commercials are always great Austin :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:47 I've been thinking about making a collection of the best commercials, for my Patreon. But I don't think anyone is on there for Dimestore Radio Theater, and I'm not sure I can really talk about it on Sheena's.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that Slate talks to himself.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Double crossed
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: Box 12? Does Dan have a cousin in Havana?
	9:52pm Charles: Box 12 !
	9:54pm wenzo: Hellooooo
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:54 Good Hello, wenzo!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: I'm sure the writer's thought it would be funny to have a comedian be the killer. He doesn't kill on stage... just off.
	♥ 9:57pm WR: Touch it!
	9:58pm Mr Fab: were there any real-life comedian murderers? if so, what were their jokes like?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Don't know about comedians just a clown or two
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Was lurking and playing Sims.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: In every film book I've read, they stress how Casablanca was just a, "studio picture," and that it was just another movie that Hollywood was cranking out. But when I watch it now, it really holds up in a way that not a lot of other films from that era do. It's a classic for a reason.
	♥ 10:11pm drowsy: Hi Austin! Hey one of the doco guys sounded like Melvyn Bragg.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:11 I'll have to check. I have the video this came from on my computer somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 It's certainly a UK documentary.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 Here's a link to the source I used for this doc: youtu.be...
	♥ 10:17pm drowsy: Seems like came from 'South Bank Show' Not important! I just like Bragg from his 'In Our Time' BBC podcast. Hearing his voice and yours is good radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:17 I'll have to check out the podcast. I am a sucker for those BBC guys.
	10:18pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 Iconic. Folks quote lines from it to this day.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 If you like BBC you should check out Old Harry's Game
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:19 Will do. Thanks for the tip. Usually, I find English Documentaries to be very compelling. I like the pace. I was re-watching those, "Shock of The New" documentaries and I just love the snark.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Post hypnotic suggestion
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ruling the world is overrated.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 I would much rather rule the Mid-Valley. It's more fun here.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I can't rule. The cat won't let me.
	10:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 haha!
	10:32pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 My cat claims HE already rules the world. Which.... he kind of does.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: Like with a lot of the later Dimension X episodes, we mostly have fan recordings that persist into the modern age. So some of the shows from this end-run have shoddy sound. I did a little EQ on this one, to try and improve things. But there's only so much you can do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @10:32 All cats think they rule, but the mice know better
	♥ 10:33pm drowsy: ↳ Song: ""The Veldt"" by "Dimension X" ennui MUST be avoided.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: We have one cat that rules the roost. We have another that takes everything as it comes, and is lazy and affected by nothing. I love how different they are.
	10:34pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:33 Thank goodness we haven't run into that issue! Nigel has many skills but hunting is not among them! I'm the better mouser and my go to is to turn into a cartoon lady and grab my hair when I see one!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:33 How much they used to worry about what we would do with all this leisure time that we would be plagued with... I sometimes wonder where all that free time went.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: "Go ahead. Just think."
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: I need to sample this episode for a future project.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: "What else are we working for?"
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Peter and Wendy, those are names that would never lead kids into trouble.
	♥ 10:38pm drowsy: I didn't know this was going to be a ChatGPT demo. Nice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: Medium and No starch? What madness is this!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Does the narrator breathe?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:38 Occasionally. That's Norman Rose, or as he was known in his heyday, "The Voice of God."
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: "Too much time to think." Oh, the burden of modern life.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Why would the nursery maintain the kids illusion when they aren't there?
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: So, with too much leisure time, our wives will start to question their own existence, our husbands will start drinking too much, and our children will become obsessed with the animals on the African Veldt. That sounds legit, right?
	10:47pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 There's worse things to be obsessed with, I suppose?
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: The idea that parents don't believe that their own children are capable of lying. That seems truly unbelievable.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 Its the old "not my kuds" syndrome
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: In typical 1950's sci-fi fashion, there seems to be a lot of concern about the horrors that lurk in... gulp... family life!
	10:51pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 I mean......
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: "I don't want to do anything but look and listen and smell."
	10:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 Same, Peter. Same.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Oh they will smell alright
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: We're gonna go a few minutes over. Thanks for joining me, friends!
	10:54pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Yay!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder if this influenced Jumanji.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: I just watched a bunch of Star Trek stories about a block of computer data that won't let itself be deleted. Old ideas die hard.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: These parents are soft.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Tender you mean
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: There's an episode of Amazing Stories, about parents that put their parents in a zoo, that's sort of unnerving in this same way.
	11:00pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @11:00 😂
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: I wonder why I never had any kids?
