Rush: And, as for being tired, our film is guaranteed to give a burst of energy!
pdclassicdvds: His name is Brett in the movie not Trent. I knew it sounded similar
Len Freeman: We’re in the balmy 70s here in MInnesota
Cdirus: That’s good cause ours at work is broken again. It was sounding like a helicopter on the roof and vibrating the whole building
Rush: Brett, alias Brott…
Atomant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ89iy3SGjk You might take alook at this upload from archive movies. The sound seems synced. Sorry if I am causing trouble

Atomant: 🙂
Matt1: Went to bed the other night and it was 89!
Len Freeman: Been a strange summer for us… very wet, so farmers having trouble with crops, but also mild.
Len Freeman: WE’ve actually had to turn off the AC

Louise: Yes Rush, the early TV stuff is interesting
Atomant: From CC murder cruise?
Rush: (Clunk!)
Nothere: You got to wonder about that show. A 40’s program where the Mad Monster is the star? Who does he think he is Fu Manchu?
Matt1: Shoe print in only one spot?
Louise: Notice the ashtrays everywhere
Rush: Or, maybe the slightly “miffed” monster?
Nothere: Only so much blood to come off Matt.

Len Freeman: Ahhhh,… The Shadow knows……
Atomant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIIwxo2eIdU Ran across this the other night..BB and Nipsy doing a similar routine.

MIke in DC: I use them to light my private candles
Rush: Teletype…
pdclassicdvds: That funny MIke.
Louise: DING! Your answer is ready.
MIke in DC: I.D.I.O.T.
