mmm, ramble
Is this availed on Spotify?
Hip hip hooray! A ramble. From Thanksgiving to diets to pizza to Thanksgiving with Hallowe’en somewhere in the middle.
I can follow about 80% of this in my car with volume at 100%.
I looked at it in Nero WaveEditor… Yikes, that is low level, isn’t it? Try this 10dB boosted version: (I stopped at 10dB to avoid a lot of clipping)

I remember the olden days when James would have pizza on Friday nights, following being on The Aftershow.
I got about 95% at normal volume while consulting a small cigar and a whisky in my garage.
Try my amplified version.
I got it all on Ricochet with the volume slider at about 20%.
Is this one with the new intro any better on the level?

Why is it in a separate folder/page, and it seems to be about a minute longer; why is that?
Oh, there’s an intro added.
Well that version is better, but not as good as mine. :-)
I keep the ketchup, mustard, etc, in the fridge for storage purposes; but then I put those on the bun while the hot dogs etc are still cooking, and by the time they’re ready the condiments have assumed room temperature. (But not in the way Rush Limbaugh used to say it.)
I love the idea of a “riot-size” peanut butter cup.
