3:19 – A country ballad about the Mandela Effect, with lyrics by Dave in Kentucky, music by Suno V6-mini, and show art by GPT Image 2.5 Flare via aiFreeForever.com.
[Verse] Well, whatever happened to Nelson? I thought that he had died in some jail But then people greet him with bells on I guess that he finally made bail [Chorus] The Mandela Effect Will make you reflect On things that you recall most clearly Within and without It’s making you doubt The memories you hold most dearly [Verse] Well, whatever happened to Sinbad? Remember that old movie, “Shazaam”? Its IMDb score was a ten, dad If you doubt me I don’t give a damn [Chorus] The Mandela Effect Will make you reflect On things that you recall most clearly Within and without It’s making you doubt The memories you hold most dearly [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] The Monopoly guy Had a glass in his eye Or could that have been Colonel Mustard? Or the guy on the peanuts? Or might I just be nuts? Is that why I’m getting so flustered? [Verse] Well, whatever happened to Dolly? The girl in “Moonraker” with Jaws With braces removed by the folly Of airbrushing out all her flaws [Chorus] The Mandela Effect Will make you reflect On things that you recall most clearly Within and without It’s making you doubt The memories you hold most dearly [Outro | Ritardando] Well, whatever happened to Nelson? I thought he had died in some jail…

2:17:22 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic recording from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to release more of my archives.
Continuing the audiobook version of my “failed science fiction novel” Severe Repair. This time: CUPLINE 19: THE MILDRED CORK and CUPLINE 20: CLOWN CENTAUR ARCHITECT, read by computer voice “Azure Harper MAI-Voice-2.1”.
You know, it’s been quite a trip revisiting Severe Repair by having a computer voice read it. As I wrote most of it around 30 years ago, much of it has faded from memory, so it’s almost like hearing it for the first time. As much as I loved the last two entries in this series, this one was back to me cringing and questioning my younger self. Why all these tangents? Why not continue the main storyline? While these two Cuplines have some redeeming qualities, overall it just leaves me shaking my head… why the heck couldn’t I have just focused on the main storyline, and finished one book’s worth of story? As it is, these two Cuplines were very hard to listen to at times. I’ve grown and changed as a person, and I can’t imagine writing some of this stuff now. But… once again, it’s not called a “failed science fiction novel” for nothing…

3:39 – Just in time for Halloween, a song partially inspired by the Frankenstein story, done in the style of a Broadway musical.
[Verse] A horde of screaming Luddites Come streaming up the hill Their torches shine like floodlights Their pitchforks aim to kill With torches and with pitchforks Their ranks go marching by They’re coming for the rich folks Developing A.I. [Chorus] These friends of Ludd Are out for blood And blood is in their eyes This sabot squad Will sabotage The looming threat, A.I. [Verse] These Luddites are so fearful They fear all things to come They’re giving us an earful But what they say is dumb They’re fearful for their hobbies They’re fearful for their jobs And so they’re forming lobbies And so they’re forming mobs [Chorus] These friends of Ludd Are out for blood And blood is in their eyes This sabot squad Will sabotage The looming threat, A.I. [Bridge] But if A.I. is a monster It’s due to how it’s trained And since it’s trained by humans Its flaws come from their brains And since the brains of humans Are mostly brains of fools How can we blame the monsters? A.I.’s are only tools! [Instrumental Break] [Verse] A horde of sabotagers Come streaming up the hill A bunch of stupid codgers Whose object is to kill They’re whipped into a frenzy There’s fire in their eyes They’re fired up by the whimsy Of dangerous A.I. [Chorus] These friends of Ludd Are out for blood And blood is in their eyes This sabot squad Will sabotage The looming threat, A.I.

34:52 – Another trip ‘After Hours’ to meet the medium who claims to be able to match you up with your perfect spirit lover via his dating seances, before we drop into some late-night radio talk debating whether Haitian immigrants eat pets or raise zombies. The-Man-in-the-Pub, meanwhile, recalls that ‘Hijab Halloween’, when his friend claimed to have become the target of trick-or-treating suicide bombers. A top secret report reveals some disturbing facts about US executions – is the electric chair creating super-charged, revenge-seeking, zombies? We also drop in on the WKNR Evening News for a discussion of a possible trick-or-treat assassination plot against President Trump, before intrepid reporter Charles Coalshed investigates the truth behind reports that raw sewage being dumped in Britain’s rivers is creating a strange – and squelchy – new lifeform.
