Jamie sent us another field recording. He did not tell us where it was but we know it is somewhere in Portugal, so that is good enough.
Jamie sent us a report from Faro, Portugal. This has a subtitle too! This is the subtitle: "they are called arches.“ There is a little song at the end, ya know.
We get lonely! Reach out to us!

Lee and Stewart use ChatGPT to create a story in the style of Choose Your Own Adventure. Fun stuff! Disclaimer: The audio is bad, but we will not be re-recording it so we are just going to post it. Feel free to skip this episode if your ears are not happy with things. We may record more. We will see!
We read the last page to Ian Levin's "The Stepford Wives". We listen to some rain and we sign a little song.
Jamie sent a field recording from Portugal! We did not fact check the address, so, you know, when you cannot find it, just use your imagination!

John Payne died. Us folks loved John, but also we kind of needed a break. What we want you to know is we loved John. Dear John, stay away. Dear John,

It's the future and we have a Halloween! Thank you to those who listen! Thank you to those who don't listen also. We just want you to have a good Halloween! Happy Halloween! We hope it is kind of silly.
Sat in the park with my dog and recorded on my phone. We watched folks walk by. It was all very does-anybody-know-what-time-it-is, but, you know, Atlanta.
We just need to get rid of some audio and this is our chance. We love you. It's a small club that listens to this dumb podcast but we do it for you. All twelve of you! Happy 2020 everyone!
Ricky's sister died from Covid19 and we talk about that a bit. We talk about other stuff. Interruptions.

Beth and Lee gave a listen to Karl's first movie bracket podcast and they have a few thoughts.
A joke about Morgan Freeman was made. Here is that reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5Z_fPXYygo
Karl chats up three movie matches. The first 90 seconds of this podcast will make you weep. Cry and listen to the final eight minutes.
We visit some birds on a windy day until they ask us to leave. Oma sings Marlene Dietrich, or we think that is who it is. Nina connects with Fire trucks.
100th Episode! What do you think about that!? It's amazing what happens when you keep doing it. Oma talks about the accoridians, Black American soldiers and Russians. Karl talks about his movie bracket for the second time.
We talk about Karl's movie bracket. We talk about three matches in the first round while sitting in the park.
Covid 19 has things quieted down so we have time to make a longer episode. We call Lee and have a nice chat with Ben and Nancy. We sing and dance and bang stuff around. Thanks to Freesound.org and Craig Smith for the Gretta Garbo laugh and some of the other noise.
Dolby has a voice recorder, "Dolby On", and we thought we would check it out. We walked into the park for some middle of the night audio tests and things got a little weird so out tests got cut short. It was very exciting. Covid 19 chat as well.
It's not that we are marching. It's March, you silly. I visit Ziba's Bistro and get a walking beer. We play organ and talk about going to the store. Something about Covid 19.
Oma talks about caving in the 1950s. We get a story about soup during the Covid 19 Pandemic.

It's office day at Squirrel Census headquarters. We ask Sally what she is doing and she tell us.
The Central Park Squirrel Census was happening at the Gothic Bridge Sunday morning, October 14, 2018. We chat with Cat and Stuart.
The Squirrel Census is up in New York, counting the Squirrels of Central Park. On the first day of the Central Park Squirrel Census team members Josh O’Connor, Jamie Allen, Nat Slaughter and Sally Parham sent audio journal entries from their phones. That is what this episode is. Pretty straightforward, right?
Every once and a while someone asks a dumb question on the Internet. Our team is here to answer as best as possible.
Sally and Josh flew to New York to join Jamie and Nat for the Central Park Squirrel Census. We sing about it.

Fall is hot on our heels and Ricky talks about all that. And he talks about football. And we are blessed.

More sake and green tea. Lee finishes to the journey to the best album and to the worst album. He's happy.
Do you know what important things are going to happen this summer? Well, Chantelle does! Let's listen and find out!
Lee and Stewart discover they can stop time, but there is a small problem with there schemes. We also find who Killdozer defeats. Who will remain undefeated!? We will trudge towards the ultimate loser! It's time to find out!
We are half way through. Interrupting Sponsorman shows up. We drink a beer. No drudgery.
Lee and Stewart plan a trip to Zibas. More importantly, they go through round two! Who gets another coveted point and takes a step closer to being the favorite! We will find out!!
Terra and Stewart talk about an old address. A character with a humorous name is spoken of. We look at an old floppy disc. Marvel!
Apparently, Jamie needs to stick to story telling and squirrel counting. Other than that, we begin the quest to find Lee's favorite album among a selection 32. One point to the winner. Zero points to the loser. After five rounds we will have a winner and a pathetic loser. (awww... they are not pathetic)
