IN THESE TIMES OF ROBOT MONKEYS AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER FUN DISTRACTIONS, IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO GET SOMEONE TO LOOK AT A SELFIE OF YOUR BUTT, LET ALONE ASK SOMEONE TO SIT DOWN AND JUST LISTEN TO SOMETHING, AND CONCENTRATE, FOR AROUND SOME MINUTES.BUT I'M TELLING YOU TO. I AM HERE TO TAKE YOU BACK TO A TIME BEFORE TIME BECAME TIME, A TIME WHERE YOU'D SIT AROUND WITH THE FAMILY AND STARE AT THE RADIO AND LISTEN TO THE WAR.I ALLOW YOU TO DO ONE ACTIVITY WHILE LISTENING: YOUR IRONING. BREASTFEEDING IS ALSO ALLOWED. AND CUDDLING. BESIDES THAT, I WANT YOUR FULL ATTENTION. IT'S ONLY SOME MINUTES. IT WON'T KILL YOU.ALSO: DUE TO NATURE OF SHOW ACCEPT/EXPECT LESS THAN BROADCAST SOUND QUALITY AND LESS THAN FAMILY FRIENDLY CONTENT.
