	9:18pm wenzo: I’ll be slicing you off a piece of my sfl pledge at some point I’m just waiting to hear about all the premiums

	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: Our second premium tonight is an LP that anyone should have in their collection: Alex Chilton's "Feudalist Tarts." www.discogs.com...
	9:25pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: as I explore deeper into the wonderful world of WFMU, Dimestore Radio theater is making a place in my bedtime routine. thank you Austin Rich! and thanks to all who make this happen.

	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Nope.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Webhamster Henry: Audience! How long before Austin gets knocked out?
	9:36pm GorillaFella: Man Richard Diamond is one cool cat!! Really loved that story, esp the way it sprinkled in a bit of comic relief
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm David The Splatter: I've got to get some sleep, getting up early. Thanks for all you do, Austin! Catch you all tomorrow.
	9:42pm Imaginos: Have you ever heard Paul Frees narration on Stan Freberg's The United States of America?
	9:42pm Imaginos: ↳ David The Splatter @9:41 Sleep well

	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:49 Thanks Imaginos! Sleep well, and I'll see you online, soon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Arvo Zylo: I am making lentil-based (gluten free) spaghetti with various vegetables and kale boiled in there! The sauce is keto and with added plant-based mozzarella! I am no culinary wizard, but yes, eating healthy is now a necessity. I recommend cutting soy, gluten, carbs, and sugar/corn syrup in general! I will add that I am also impressed by the archives, and can only imagine how expensive it is to maintain. I hope everyone is having a swell time!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: Our shows got mixed up tonight! Rocky ascends to Cloud 8, and Richard, didn't...
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Webhamster Henry: The Paul Frees Collection: 7 Mp3 CDs or 179 Audio CDS! www.otrcat.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @9:52 That sounds great. Marla roasted some gourds, and cooked some vegetables and fake sausage to stuff them with. I'm looking forward to those.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:53 Ooooooo! Very cool!
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 Vol 4 has Richard Diamond And Rocky Jordan!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:56 I love collections like that, because some hard-working fan has done the leg-work for you, making it easy for you do find stuff like that. Thank you, anonymous, hardworking fan!
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 Each of those Mp3 disks has 24 hours of audio!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: Our third premium this week is a very cool reissue of rare tracks by The Amboy Dukes. This record is mixed in stereo, for the first time ever! And on Lime Green Vinyl! Donate today! www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:59 That sounds about right. Or you can just use that site to find a list of shows, that you can then track down pretty easily elsewhere, for free.
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Heather Z: Liquor and cheese shop?! Why don't I have one of these in my town?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:09 Even the small-towns that I've lived in have at least a cheesemonger counter at some sort of market. But I haven't seen a cheese and liquor shop before. Of course, The Mid-Valley has old-fashioned laws, so liquor has to be sold in a separate store from other kinds of food and drink.
	10:13pm wenzo: Smoking was a cure for Asthma? Huh?
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 (I will admit that I have bought cheese at a counter where the kid working there did not know what a cheesemonger was, but there's always been someone. Though the selection has gotten worse locally, as time has gone on.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:13 Four out of five doctors!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 We had a cheesemonger down the corner but they closed, alas. The grocery stores here actually have a very nice cheese game. But NY has the same laws as the Mid-Valley, I guess, because we have to go to the liquor store for liquor and wine and grocery store or gas station or wherever for beer. I'll admit, I love to find the differences in what's sold where state to state!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 There seems to be a sort of "tiered" system to how states handle their liquor laws. I think the harshest is to make us all go to a different store just to get the liquor. Really? A second stop?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: Our final premium is this double LP set of soundtrack music from the TV show, "Painting With John," featuring original music by John Lurie himself! (With guests and other performers, too.) www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 Exactly! The big grocery store here, Wegmans, has gamed the system by placing big liquor stores they own (but name different things, my favorite being Lisa's Liquor Barn. It is not a barn. It's in a plaza. But it's the finest liquor barn around!) Near their mega grocery stores. But it's still a walk or a drive and a line away!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Arvo Zylo: It was a great little Chinese ghost story, I didn't expect you to read it, but I think you nailed my sentiments! Also, I remember the one time I played in Atlanta, on a Sunday, and the liquor stores were closed on Sundays! I found a way to drink anyway! One of those really great shows that were sparsely attended. Almost 20 years ago now, I used to live near a pizza place that was also a liquor store, and they delivered until 4am! So I often ordered a pizza and a bottle of something, which was nice if there was a date that was winding down... Those days are long gone! But I'm sure it was a lucrative business. I am going to look into gourds...
	10:30pm Mr Fab: -King Louie (of The Exploding Heart) -Alex Chilton's "Feudalist Tarts” -Amboy Dukes (green vinyl!) -John Lurie (2 record set!) Any one for a mere $20 minimum!!
	10:31pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 Joe Belock played a rare Michigan garage band single on his show two months ago. When I informed him it featured Ted Nugent, he told us he was throwing it out! wfmu.org...
	10:32pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: they call liquor stores "party stores" around here lol
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Webhamster Henry: Sometime x-1 stories are not tales of the future...
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:30 A pizza shop/liquor store?! That's almost as good as a cheese and liquor store! And open til 4am?! Liquor stores used to be closed here Sundays. And I believe you still cant buy beer after 2am. But I'll admit, I'm not out there trying so I don't know for sure.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Colony"" by "X-Minus One" I believe this is the earliest radio adaptation of a PKD story. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:32 "Package stores" in New England.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: Seems like the captain of this ship is a woman! That's rare, even on X-1.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:32 Party stores! I like it! My dad still calls the liquor store the package store. Not sure why as he's not from New England.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: And we have Norman "The Voice of God" Rose doing the narration on this one! en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: We've got a pretty strong bid for the John Lurie record. If anyone else wants it, make your bid NOW! Otherwise, I think we have a winner for that one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: "Last night was liquor rations." Ha! A relevant joke.
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: "I was hoping I could tempt you into some 'field work.' "
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Webhamster Henry: Misogyny is still there in the future.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Arvo Zylo: I used to be able to get a bottle of vodka (a fifth) and a large pizza at 4AM for less than the cost of most pizza now. I don't drink anymore, but thankfully I had that experience before the price gouging / "inflation" ran rampant. One of my many ideas if I had time and energy would be an old-fashioned ice cream shoppe where everything costs the price of the 1930s or 1940s, and it would be some sort of nonprofit gig, so that people can (with supervised moderation) live with some real nostalgia, and not be upsold and hustled constantly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: This story has some similarities with one of the Martian Chronicles stories by Ray Bradbury, about the astronaut that is worried about people from Earth ruining Mars.
	10:43pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: well you know in Michigan if u throw in a game of basement Euchre to your bottom shelf liquor and tallboy it legally constitutes a party. and that's the whole package >:~D🤘
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:43 The card game, Euchre? I was always wanted to learn to play.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: "My microscope just tried to strangle me!" That's such a PKD idea. Even his 1955 stories sound like feverish drug trips.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: Thank you, Listener Ari! You are now the owner of that John Lurie soundtrack! Chime in now if you want to score any of the other three records!
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: Listener Evan will get that Amboy Dukes album, unless they would prefer King Louie or Alex Chilton! Make a bid now if you want any of these records!
	10:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 I remember this! I read it in the 2003 PKD collection by Citadel Press entitled “Paycheck and Other Classic Stories”. lecturia.org...
	10:48pm wenzo: @arvo zylo I was lucky enough to grow up in a town with one of the last soda fountains in the 90’s. Well I suppose there are probably a few still out there but idk where…
	10:49pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: "I will.... consider... that suggestion" is a sick burn for a robot
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Webhamster Henry: I like how the robot says "I don't know" - unlike Chat GPT.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:49 Yeah, that robot was a bit condescending... some problems are in my head, and real, too!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Webhamster Henry: The major is in Pee-Wee's playhouse where all the furniture is alive.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ wenzo @10:48 Neato!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: You can always select Dimestore Radio Theater when you make a donation at any time! But you've got five more minutes if you want one of these records!
	10:51pm wenzo: Waddupdoe @RedDoor… I almost went to Ypsi today. Do you have any relation to the Red Door Digital? I went to an event or two there years ago
	10:51pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 Wish I could help there, I've learned how to play Euchre like 5 times 💀 one day it will stick lol same with poker
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:51 Either way, a basement party with cards and booze sounds great! Sign me up!
	10:52pm wenzo: I only know how to play Oh Hell
	10:52pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:49 A true robot endeavors to learn
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:51 I always win the first hand and then get dirty looks when I don't want to continue playing poker... It's always beginner's luck, every time...
	10:53pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 It's the Midwest treat! House show, basement booze, and Euchre. Maybe a little Mario Party
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:52 I don't like games where you play for money. It just never seems right. (My family has gambling addiction problems.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:53 Being from the Midwest (Chicago), I regret to say I don't know Euchre.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:53 That sounds great!
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Listener Evan, King Louie is now yours! Thank you!
	10:55pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ wenzo @10:51 ayyo neighbor! it's an old screenname from a quote from a mushroom moment for lack of a better digital identity at the mo, but recently I was in a bar bathroom and saw a sticker for "Red Door Digital" what's that about? Neat!
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 I never went to gambling parties, but I sold beer at baseball games, and a number of fellas would gamble before a game. Hard to resist, and yes I did get called out for "trying that Cool Hand Luke stuff"... ha.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Anyone else want that Amboy Dukes record, or the Alex Chilton? Make your move now!
	10:56pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 The ribald ending was okay for radio, but would not be deemed suitable for television.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: We raised almost $200 total tonight! Thank you Dimestore Donors!
	10:57pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:52 that's me in Settlers of Catan but I always fear my luck will run out! so gotta stay humble...
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 Yippee!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Ya'll are the best! Thanks for supporting a project like this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Arvo Zylo: BINARY FISSION
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:58 It's pretty hot...
	10:58pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: go dimestore!!!! we are gathering dimes to throw your way 🕵️ thx donating besties
	10:58pm GorillaFella: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Same here feels too high stakes. Either I lose money and feel bad or win someone elses money and potentially make them feel bad lol would rather just play for fun! Gambling w non money things like chocolate ie. Dreidel can be fun though :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Naked astronauts? Of course, PKD...
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ GorillaFella @10:58 Chocolate does sound great! I'll play for points and candy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 The miracle of radio! Richard Diamond is always naked.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: We're gonna go over by four minutes.
	11:00pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ GorillaFella @10:58 Penny poker!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Thanks for bringing us the great listening every week!! Have a good rest of the day or night, everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: Whoops! She was right, and that dude was wrong. Of course...
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Austin Rich: Thanks again everyone!
	11:03pm GorillaFella: This program has been so cozy and imaginative, looking forward to tuning in again next week! :D
	11:03pm Wenzo: @red door, I guess it’s a commercial printer or graphic designer or both… located in Detroit or it used to be… they hosted community events there at some point. Haven’t heard anything about them recently.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Arvo Zylo: The Exegesis of PKD was the only book of his that I read. Totally insane.
	11:04pm Wenzo: Thanks AR! 🙏
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks! Happy Marathoning!
	11:08pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Wenzo @11:03 dang maybe I'll have to rebrand lol. Imma look into them! maybe we'll run into each other around here one day and not even know it but the vibes will be posi✨ cheers!
	11:09pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: great show today, thank you again 📻 so comfy. good night!

	9:21pm wenzo: It’s so hard to pick… so much great swag… the important thing is the station is getting my $ haha
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Speaking of books, have you had a chance to check out Albert Bouchard's Imaginos comic?
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:22 I saw the links that you sent, but I haven't got one yet. I should order it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: Our second premium tonight is an LP that anyone should have in their collection: Alex Chilton's "Feudalist Tarts." www.discogs.com...

	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Webhamster Henry: Exactly - song cue!
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: Do you think Francis is played by Paul Frees?
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Nope.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Webhamster Henry: Audience! How long before Austin gets knocked out?
	9:36pm GorillaFella: Man Richard Diamond is one cool cat!! Really loved that story, esp the way it sprinkled in a bit of comic relief
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm David The Splatter: I've got to get some sleep, getting up early. Thanks for all you do, Austin! Catch you all tomorrow.
	9:42pm Imaginos: Have you ever heard Paul Frees narration on Stan Freberg's The United States of America?
	9:42pm Imaginos: ↳ David The Splatter @9:41 Sleep well

	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:49 Thanks Imaginos! Sleep well, and I'll see you online, soon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Arvo Zylo: I am making lentil-based (gluten free) spaghetti with various vegetables and kale boiled in there! The sauce is keto and with added plant-based mozzarella! I am no culinary wizard, but yes, eating healthy is now a necessity. I recommend cutting soy, gluten, carbs, and sugar/corn syrup in general! I will add that I am also impressed by the archives, and can only imagine how expensive it is to maintain. I hope everyone is having a swell time!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: Our shows got mixed up tonight! Rocky ascends to Cloud 8, and Richard, didn't...
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Webhamster Henry: The Paul Frees Collection: 7 Mp3 CDs or 179 Audio CDS! www.otrcat.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @9:52 That sounds great. Marla roasted some gourds, and cooked some vegetables and fake sausage to stuff them with. I'm looking forward to those.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:53 Ooooooo! Very cool!
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 Vol 4 has Richard Diamond And Rocky Jordan!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:56 I love collections like that, because some hard-working fan has done the leg-work for you, making it easy for you do find stuff like that. Thank you, anonymous, hardworking fan!

	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: Our third premium this week is a very cool reissue of rare tracks by The Amboy Dukes. This record is mixed in stereo, for the first time ever! And on Lime Green Vinyl! Donate today! www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:59 That sounds about right. Or you can just use that site to find a list of shows, that you can then track down pretty easily elsewhere, for free.
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Heather Z: Liquor and cheese shop?! Why don't I have one of these in my town?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:09 Even the small-towns that I've lived in have at least a cheesemonger counter at some sort of market. But I haven't seen a cheese and liquor shop before. Of course, The Mid-Valley has old-fashioned laws, so liquor has to be sold in a separate store from other kinds of food and drink.
	10:13pm wenzo: Smoking was a cure for Asthma? Huh?
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 (I will admit that I have bought cheese at a counter where the kid working there did not know what a cheesemonger was, but there's always been someone. Though the selection has gotten worse locally, as time has gone on.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:13 Four out of five doctors!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 We had a cheesemonger down the corner but they closed, alas. The grocery stores here actually have a very nice cheese game. But NY has the same laws as the Mid-Valley, I guess, because we have to go to the liquor store for liquor and wine and grocery store or gas station or wherever for beer. I'll admit, I love to find the differences in what's sold where state to state!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 There seems to be a sort of "tiered" system to how states handle their liquor laws. I think the harshest is to make us all go to a different store just to get the liquor. Really? A second stop?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: Our final premium is this double LP set of soundtrack music from the TV show, "Painting With John," featuring original music by John Lurie himself! (With guests and other performers, too.) www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 Exactly! The big grocery store here, Wegmans, has gamed the system by placing big liquor stores they own (but name different things, my favorite being Lisa's Liquor Barn. It is not a barn. It's in a plaza. But it's the finest liquor barn around!) Near their mega grocery stores. But it's still a walk or a drive and a line away!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Arvo Zylo: It was a great little Chinese ghost story, I didn't expect you to read it, but I think you nailed my sentiments! Also, I remember the one time I played in Atlanta, on a Sunday, and the liquor stores were closed on Sundays! I found a way to drink anyway! One of those really great shows that were sparsely attended. Almost 20 years ago now, I used to live near a pizza place that was also a liquor store, and they delivered until 4am! So I often ordered a pizza and a bottle of something, which was nice if there was a date that was winding down... Those days are long gone! But I'm sure it was a lucrative business. I am going to look into gourds...
	10:30pm Mr Fab: -King Louie (of The Exploding Heart) -Alex Chilton's "Feudalist Tarts” -Amboy Dukes (green vinyl!) -John Lurie (2 record set!) Any one for a mere $20 minimum!!
	10:31pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 Joe Belock played a rare Michigan garage band single on his show two months ago. When I informed him it featured Ted Nugent, he told us he was throwing it out! wfmu.org...
	10:32pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: they call liquor stores "party stores" around here lol
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Webhamster Henry: Sometime x-1 stories are not tales of the future...
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:30 A pizza shop/liquor store?! That's almost as good as a cheese and liquor store! And open til 4am?! Liquor stores used to be closed here Sundays. And I believe you still cant buy beer after 2am. But I'll admit, I'm not out there trying so I don't know for sure.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Colony"" by "X-Minus One" I believe this is the earliest radio adaptation of a PKD story. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:32 "Package stores" in New England.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: Seems like the captain of this ship is a woman! That's rare, even on X-1.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:32 Party stores! I like it! My dad still calls the liquor store the package store. Not sure why as he's not from New England.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: And we have Norman "The Voice of God" Rose doing the narration on this one! en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: We've got a pretty strong bid for the John Lurie record. If anyone else wants it, make your bid NOW! Otherwise, I think we have a winner for that one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: "Last night was liquor rations." Ha! A relevant joke.
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: "I was hoping I could tempt you into some 'field work.' "
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Webhamster Henry: Misogyny is still there in the future.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Arvo Zylo: I used to be able to get a bottle of vodka (a fifth) and a large pizza at 4AM for less than the cost of most pizza now. I don't drink anymore, but thankfully I had that experience before the price gouging / "inflation" ran rampant. One of my many ideas if I had time and energy would be an old-fashioned ice cream shoppe where everything costs the price of the 1930s or 1940s, and it would be some sort of nonprofit gig, so that people can (with supervised moderation) live with some real nostalgia, and not be upsold and hustled constantly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: This story has some similarities with one of the Martian Chronicles stories by Ray Bradbury, about the astronaut that is worried about people from Earth ruining Mars.
	10:43pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: well you know in Michigan if u throw in a game of basement Euchre to your bottom shelf liquor and tallboy it legally constitutes a party. and that's the whole package >:~D🤘
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:43 The card game, Euchre? I was always wanted to learn to play.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: "My microscope just tried to strangle me!" That's such a PKD idea. Even his 1955 stories sound like feverish drug trips.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: Thank you, Listener Ari! You are now the owner of that John Lurie soundtrack! Chime in now if you want to score any of the other three records!
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: Listener Evan will get that Amboy Dukes album, unless they would prefer King Louie or Alex Chilton! Make a bid now if you want any of these records!
	10:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 I remember this! I read it in the 2003 PKD collection by Citadel Press entitled “Paycheck and Other Classic Stories”. lecturia.org...
	10:48pm wenzo: @arvo zylo I was lucky enough to grow up in a town with one of the last soda fountains in the 90’s. Well I suppose there are probably a few still out there but idk where…
	10:49pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: "I will.... consider... that suggestion" is a sick burn for a robot
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Webhamster Henry: I like how the robot says "I don't know" - unlike Chat GPT.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:49 Yeah, that robot was a bit condescending... some problems are in my head, and real, too!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Webhamster Henry: The major is in Pee-Wee's playhouse where all the furniture is alive.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ wenzo @10:48 Neato!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: You can always select Dimestore Radio Theater when you make a donation at any time! But you've got five more minutes if you want one of these records!
	10:51pm wenzo: Waddupdoe @RedDoor… I almost went to Ypsi today. Do you have any relation to the Red Door Digital? I went to an event or two there years ago
	10:51pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 Wish I could help there, I've learned how to play Euchre like 5 times 💀 one day it will stick lol same with poker
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:51 Either way, a basement party with cards and booze sounds great! Sign me up!
	10:52pm wenzo: I only know how to play Oh Hell
	10:52pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:49 A true robot endeavors to learn
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:51 I always win the first hand and then get dirty looks when I don't want to continue playing poker... It's always beginner's luck, every time...
	10:53pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 It's the Midwest treat! House show, basement booze, and Euchre. Maybe a little Mario Party
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:52 I don't like games where you play for money. It just never seems right. (My family has gambling addiction problems.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:53 Being from the Midwest (Chicago), I regret to say I don't know Euchre.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @10:53 That sounds great!
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Listener Evan, King Louie is now yours! Thank you!
	10:55pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ wenzo @10:51 ayyo neighbor! it's an old screenname from a quote from a mushroom moment for lack of a better digital identity at the mo, but recently I was in a bar bathroom and saw a sticker for "Red Door Digital" what's that about? Neat!
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 I never went to gambling parties, but I sold beer at baseball games, and a number of fellas would gamble before a game. Hard to resist, and yes I did get called out for "trying that Cool Hand Luke stuff"... ha.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Anyone else want that Amboy Dukes record, or the Alex Chilton? Make your move now!
	10:56pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 The ribald ending was okay for radio, but would not be deemed suitable for television.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: We raised almost $200 total tonight! Thank you Dimestore Donors!
	10:57pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:52 that's me in Settlers of Catan but I always fear my luck will run out! so gotta stay humble...
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 Yippee!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Ya'll are the best! Thanks for supporting a project like this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Arvo Zylo: BINARY FISSION
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:58 It's pretty hot...
	10:58pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: go dimestore!!!! we are gathering dimes to throw your way 🕵️ thx donating besties
	10:58pm GorillaFella: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Same here feels too high stakes. Either I lose money and feel bad or win someone elses money and potentially make them feel bad lol would rather just play for fun! Gambling w non money things like chocolate ie. Dreidel can be fun though :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Naked astronauts? Of course, PKD...
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ GorillaFella @10:58 Chocolate does sound great! I'll play for points and candy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 The miracle of radio! Richard Diamond is always naked.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: We're gonna go over by four minutes.
	11:00pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ GorillaFella @10:58 Penny poker!

	11:03pm GorillaFella: This program has been so cozy and imaginative, looking forward to tuning in again next week! :D
	11:03pm Wenzo: @red door, I guess it’s a commercial printer or graphic designer or both… located in Detroit or it used to be… they hosted community events there at some point. Haven’t heard anything about them recently.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Arvo Zylo: The Exegesis of PKD was the only book of his that I read. Totally insane.
	11:04pm Wenzo: Thanks AR! 🙏
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks! Happy Marathoning!
	11:08pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Wenzo @11:03 dang maybe I'll have to rebrand lol. Imma look into them! maybe we'll run into each other around here one day and not even know it but the vibes will be posi✨ cheers!
