little sunshine with our 6 degree weather!
[5:06 PM] Steve Archer: (in Baltimore now)

armadillo play in it.

a few more minutes to join.
[5:06 PM] Laura Leibowitz: How's the book

know, book sales are GREAT, Laura, thanks for asking! I am my own best customer,
hahaha
[5:07 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Excellent!
[5:07 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Any Benny-related
questions before we start?
[5:07 PM] Steve Archer: I need to check out
the campus area more - went to the Baltimore Museum of Art last week though and
it was excellent

times.
[5:08 PM] R.Hookie: He's back everyday on
Antenna TV!!
[5:08 PM] Laura Leibowitz: The Times are out
too...
[5:08 PM] steven andrew shay: What would he
have thought of Ringo's band performing at the Genessee in Waukegan ten years
ago
[5:08 PM] Laura Leibowitz: How 'bout that Al
Gordon interview...
[5:08 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Steven - Having
seen Ringo's band myself a couple times, I think he would have said it was a
good show!
[5:09 PM] R.Hookie: I need to find time to
read through it
[5:09 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: https://www.amazon.com/Benny-Golden-American-Radio-Comedy/dp/0520295056/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1...
[5:09 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: there's a
bargain in the world, kindle version for $19.xx
[5:10 PM] R.Hookie: A Kindle doesn't look
good on the shelt=f
[5:10 PM] R.Hookie: shelf
[5:10 PM] Steve Archer: Nice! I
am down for the paperback for sure.
[5:10 PM] steven andrew shay: Thanks Laura!
[5:11 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Sure!
[5:11 PM] Laura Leibowitz: OK, so here's the
deal on the video tonight.
[5:11 PM] steven andrew shay: I'll get the
book. Very cool< Kathy. Congratulations!
[5:11 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I have a couple
items (the lineup was actually Seth's idea, believe it or not)
[5:11 PM] R.Hookie: Mine's in the dining
room... I need to read through that too
[5:11 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: this is true,
R. Hookie, I am just sorry that the hardback version (hugely expensive) does NOT
have a paper book jacket, so the pb is it. I am happy to send an autographed pb
one to anybody for $30 (again, a bargain in the
world)
[5:11 PM] Laura Leibowitz: The first one is
on YouTube.
[5:11 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: yay, a video!
[5:11 PM] Laura Leibowitz: The second one
kept getting banned by YouTube
[5:12 PM] R.Hookie: Boo Youtube!!!
[5:12 PM] Laura Leibowitz: So I found a way
to put it on jackbenny.org and put it in the playlist.
[5:12 PM] Laura Leibowitz: That said, I
think we may need to download it locally to view it.
[5:12 PM] Laura Leibowitz: But we'll see
what happens.
[5:12 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: you are
amazing, Laura!
[5:12 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Well, let's see
if we can see the videos before I accept that compliment!
[5:13 PM] R.Hookie: OK, so we need to
download it?
[5:13 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I'm not sure.
[5:13 PM] Steve Archer: Hopefully it is not
banned from YouTube because it is dirty Laura, we have delicate sensibilities.
LOL
[5:13 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Let's see what
happens, and your patience is appreciated.
[5:13 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: haha Steve A
[5:13 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Jack Benny
porn...
[5:13 PM] Laura Leibowitz:
https://www.watch2gether.com/rooms/ijbfc-mbrm7osc3l5p85x3t9
[5:13 PM] steven andrew shay: Kathy- I'd
love a signed pb. Do we send the $30 to a p.o. box?
[5:15 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: hey Steven,
just paypal me at khfuller@aol.com or check to snail
mail khfuller 1800 mockingbird lane leander tx 78641
[5:16 PM] steven andrew shay: Thanks! Didn't
the Munsters live on Mockingbird Lane?
[5:19 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: steven, YES
they did!!! we are their neighbors : )
[5:19 PM] steven andrew shay: I love it! LOL.
[5:19 PM] steven andrew shay: I hope the
munstermobile isn't too loud or smoky.
[5:21 PM] Kathy Fuller Seeley: its OK as we
have a yard filled with 60 year old volvos, but the trash they put out, hahahaha
[5:24 PM] steven andrew shay: Well, when
they cut roses they just save the stem, so you may find a bouquet of buds in
their trash ;-)
[5:24 PM] steven andrew shay: Oh
wait...That's the Addams Family. HAHAHAHAA!
[5:52 PM] R.Hookie: Well here we are, back
at the chat..
[5:52 PM] Laura Leibowitz: So yeah...that
was an in-house "gag reel" that was done for the WB staff.
[5:52 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Hope no one was
offended by the language!
[5:53 PM] R.Hookie: Pretty tame compared to
TV today
[5:53 PM] Laura Leibowitz: So what do folks
think of Jack being the caveman?
[5:53 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I've been dubious
of that for a while.
[5:53 PM] Steve Archer: I think it's
inspired by Jack....like Barney Rubble being inspired by Art Carney.
[5:53 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Steve - I can see
that.
[5:53 PM] Steve Archer: Maybe not supposed
to "be" Jack.
[5:53 PM] R.Hookie: Yes
[5:54 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Fair nuff.
[5:54 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Any thoughts on
the other cartoons?
[5:54 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I had "Mouse
That Jack Built" on that same one they banned
[5:55 PM] Steve Archer: Mouse that Jack
Built is the best Benny tribute
[5:55 PM] R.Hookie: Youtube!!!! Boo!!!!
[5:55 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Yes, I was going
to have that as my finale, but there it is.
[5:55 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I'll have to do
some more experimentation on being able to stream from other sites.
[5:55 PM] Steve Archer: I liked the
animation sojourn!
[5:56 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Someone once went
through Malibu Beach Party and identified everyone. I was
impressed.
[5:56 PM] R.Hookie: Check archive.org
[5:56 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Hookie
[5:56 PM] Steve Archer: Proof once again Mel
Blanc is the center of the universe
[5:56 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I did...couldn't
find it.
[5:56 PM] R.Hookie: Ok
[5:56 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Good thought,
though.
[5:57 PM] Steve Archer: Malibu Beach Party
is weird since Frankie and Annette aren't in it.
[5:57 PM] R.Hookie: Well, not good enough
[5:57 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Steve - Well said
[5:57 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Any requests for
next month/
[5:57 PM] R.Hookie: Annette wasn't even a
Mousekaterr yet
[5:57 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Duck Jell-O
[5:58 PM] R.Hookie: spelling
[5:58 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Hookie - You're
thinking of Sonia Henie
[5:59 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Looks like we
lost a few people in the transition back here
[5:59 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Maybe they got
impatient with the cartoon mishaps.
[5:59 PM] Steve Archer: Lost in Transition!
[5:59 PM] steven andrew shay: my apple
laptop freezes
[5:59 PM] R.Hookie: Thaw it out
[5:59 PM] steven andrew shay: haha
[5:59 PM] Laura Leibowitz:
Indeed. He's a Benny fan you know... (Bill Murray)
[6:00 PM] Steve Archer: Not possible if you
are on the east coast
[6:00 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Yeah, you're all
in the deep freeze.
[6:00 PM] Laura Leibowitz: OK, thanks for
bearing with me in the experiment.
[6:01 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Any requests for
next month?
[6:01 PM] Steve Archer: Good idea for the
cartoons!
[6:01 PM] R.Hookie: We have 2 days of 30,
then really cold again
[6:01 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Or other Benny
questions?
[6:01 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Steve - Credit to
Seth on that!
[6:02 PM] R.Hookie: I suppose the birthday
shows have been overdone....
[6:02 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Yeah, I was
thinking of doing another unreleased TV show
[6:02 PM] R.Hookie: Works for me
[6:02 PM] Steve Archer: I got my 39 cents
worth of entertainment for tonight! Anything is good with
me. Unreleased TV is always fascinating
[6:02 PM] Laura Leibowitz: I wish I had more
of it.
[6:03 PM] Laura Leibowitz: OK, thanks for
stopping, folks! And thanks again for your
patience. Good being able to share the cartoon gems with you.
[6:03 PM] Steve Archer: Night all!
[6:03 PM] Laura Leibowitz: Stay warm!
[6:03 PM] steven andrew shay: Fun! Thank
you.
[6:03 PM] R.Hookie: Good night folks! Thanks
again Laura!!!
