Beet: The very ground floor, as it were.
Cease: we encouraged him and the show came in to existence 2 months later
Rufus_T_Firetween: nice
Cease: i've been on a lotta ground firesign floors, over the decades.
Cease: 2010 was the early days of podcasting

Rufus_T_Firetween: We can have lots of fun with the 21st century shows
Cease: i wsih doc tech and westley were here. they knew bergman VASTLY better than i did

Rufus_T_Firetween: You might consider writing about your encounters with FST
Cease: I have a lot of things to write about, Tween
Cease: If I outlive them, I might.
Beet: One of the big things I liked about this show is the unique and interesting music Peter would ply.

Cease: speaking of girls, at the bar i mentioned earlier where this podcast was born, bergamn was relentlessly hustling every woman in the bar, from teen agers to women his age (70, just like me)
Cease: at the breakfast after his memorial, his daughter Lily (there are more thanone) told me and the others at the table thatr bergman tried to fuck every womn in sight all his life.
Deputy Dang: Greenwashing should be a crime against humanity.
Cease: his business partner, now proctor's, ted bonnit, there art the table, was flabbergasted. he said he thought berman was a sexless monk
Deputy Dang: Everybody thinks priests are sexless.
Deputy Dang: And probably monks, as well.
||||||||| Catherwood tosses another cheese log on the fire and intones, "If you want to keep the cornstarch off your mukluks this season, buy a hoodie or a sweatshirt at the Firesign corner Cafepress store."
Beet: Peter, like the rest of us, was bamboozled and conned by Barack.
Cease: small boys know better, dang
Deputy Dang: yeah yeah yeah, we all know that these days.
Deputy Dang: Sorry--I was trying to be funny/play on words, not strike at an open wound for anyone.

Cease: one probelm with this podcast, was that, from the begining, pete played the same stuff in consecutive episodes.
Deputy Dang: In some places, news cameras _are_ weapons.
Rufus_T_Firetween: the pen is mighter than the sword
Cease: sometimes yes, mostly no, tween
Cease: did you see al kapp at the lennon bed in?
Cease: he had seriously deterioted by that point
Cease: https://www.beatlesbible.com/1969/06/01/john-lennon-argues-al-capp-montreal/
Beet: I kind of don't care about the methods or who dunnit, I'm glad we're done in that country.
Cease: erich maria remarque, author of my favourite novel, The Black Obelisk
Cease: speakking of enroute, bill mckintire told me a story about bergman on the turksih/afghan border
Cease: bergboy had a bag in his motorcyle full of canned peas mixed with hash
Cease: how he eluded turkish inspectors was the inspiration for the begining of electrician
Cease: bergboy thought every woman wanted him. uh, no.
Cease: he was so smart, thart, why not?
Rufus_T_Firetween: you definitely don't want to end up in a turkey prison
Rufus_T_Firetween: might get stuffed
Cease: bergwoman was too clever to get imprisoned
Cease: this is an interesting tale
Beet: Did he have a level of success with ladies?
Cease: reminmds me of a story from swimming to cambodia
Cease: his daughter told me as he died, he was being washed by 4 female type women, and he was very happy about that
Cease: on the other hand, she was tired of him trying to fuck her peers
Cease: every woman who seems to have known him for a long time seems to view him with infinite contempt
Beet: nice way to go out, sounds like.
Cease: he thought so
DJTweeny: sorry that she hasn't joined us :/
Cease: Lily?
Cease: Doc knows her.
Deputy Dang: janfu
DJTweeny: we could use some actual Firesigns in this channel
DJTweeny: yeah Cease
Cease: as i fugure it (in conversation with ossman) there isn't enough heftr here to attrract them.
Cease: why come here and talk to a couple of people?
Cease: they figure their storesi are worrth vastr audiences. That we ain't.
DJTweeny: Well, there may be less that 1/2 doz of us but we keep the fireflame burning :)
Cease: we dim tween, for the tiny number who care.
Cease: we do
DJTweeny: If Proc and Dave showed up here on a regular basis, you can bet your sweet bippie there would be better attendance ;)
Beet: For The Beatles of Comedy, just doesn't seem right.
Cease: they won't do it cuz there's no audience. catch 22
Deputy Dang: guaranteed annual year
DJTweeny: It doesn't have to be a big deal with an announcement, just stopping by on occasion like Austin did
||||||||| Nick Danger sneaks in and whispers "Get the scuttlebutt on Box of Danger here, whatever that means..."
Cease: austin was a differnt person. he was his own island.
||||||||| It's 10:30 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:

||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
DJTweeny: Catch 22 indeed
Beet: Llan is a regular Lazerus.
DJTweeny: They could just come in and talk to us and it would be just our little secret ;)
DJTweeny: No big announcement of comedy stars
Beet: Interesting tune.
DJTweeny: Just stopping by on occasion and saying hello and telling us what's going on with new projects
Cease: they basically dont' consider it worth their while.
DJTweeny: OK Cease
Cease: they do a LOT of podcasts, but not us.
||||||||| Mayor P'nisnose strides up to the podium and speaks: "My fellow Armenians, if you have questions about exorcism, buy the new book "EXORCISM IN YOUR DAILY LIFE", now on sale. Incidentally, so is my vote."
DJTweeny: I consider this 'worth my while' promoting them every week
Beet: Do they get an audience at those other places?
Cease: i have not been into promoting my own work. i just do the work.
Cease: mayve a few hundred listeners, mayvbe a few thousand, maybe more.
Cease: chatters here can be counted on the fingers of one hand
Cease: at least that's what they tell me.
Deputy Dang: Heck, you can count me on one finger!
Beet: lol
Deputy Dang: What is my sweet bippie worth these days, anyway?
Beet: You can place a bet with it.
Deputy Dang: nice
Rufus_T_Firetween: Cease: chatters here can be counted on the fingers of one hand << and it would take 2 people showing up on random occasions to change that
Rufus_T_Firetween: like Austin dropping in
Rufus_T_Firetween: no 'big anouncement'
||||||||| Catherwood tosses another cheese log on the fire and intones, "If you want to keep the cornstarch off your mukluks this season, buy a hoodie or a sweatshirt at the Firesign corner Cafepress store."
Cease: he's dead now
Deputy Dang: Yeah, not likely to drop in.
Rufus_T_Firetween: but lives on in sterreio hi-fi
Cease: lol
Cease: who nose?
Beet: He's probably still dropping in. We just can't see him.
Rufus_T_Firetween: OK, just tryng to figure out how to make it better
Cease: there is a line in my favouritre novel about thatr, beet. people living in other dimensions, like the ghosts in the 1951 scroooge, we just cant tune them in.
Cease: indeed, tween. if only we got more chatters
Beet: right
Rufus_T_Firetween: Catch 22
Rufus_T_Firetween: no Firesigns, no chatters, no chatters, no Firesigns
Cease: one of my favourite books. i wanted my daughter to read it.
Cease: uh, no, tween. it's not that simple an equation
Deputy Dang: It's not an equation at all. Aye, there's the rub!
Cease: folsk have shown up out of curiosity for years, just not continued or else, moved on to other things.
Cease: i've been here since day one.
Beet: We used to have a small army of regulars. All gone.
Cease: you are one of the last, beet.
Beet: I think if either of you bailed, that would be it, eh?
Cease: people like taylor and jive and a few others could visit and promote in their vast networks, but,
||||||||| Captain Equinox flies in through the transom, landing on the bearskin rug. "Attention, solstice squad! After working a 12-hour day, I like to kick back and swill some juice out of a genuine Firesign coffee mug or Bear Whiz Beer stein!"
Cease: i've been here since day one but my health is not to be overestimated.
Cease: i have Relentleslsy Promoted Firesign almosrt as long as there's been a Firesign
Deputy Dang: I don't have a network, but the people I've asked are too young to become interested.
Cease: yeah, it's an old person thing, dang
Cease: my daughter grew up lisrening to firesign, but it had no resonance to her peers
Beet: It amazes me (and always has) that this level of creativity isn't massively popular.
Cease: me too, beet
Cease: python was, though that's visual
Deputy Dang: It's not very common. Who else is even close? Capitol Steps?
