	3:10am Sue: Hey, Joe! Good morning! Happy Halloween! Happy Daylight Savings!
	3:12am Joe: Hey, Sue! Good morning! It's REALLY 4 o'clock, so it's not as early as it seems, right?
	3:17am Sue: oh God, I'm so confused. it's too early to tell! you know, i set my alarm for 3am and then the clock changed to 2am so i fell back asleep. i should have figured you had an extra hour to your show! i can't believe you've been on for an hour already! i know, i'm a dork :{
	3:20am Joe: Aw, Sue, I'm more than flattered that you set your alarm to hear my show! You are the greatest listener ever!
	3:23am Sue: aw geez, thanks :) i was just trying to keep you company. it's so damn early! i don't know how you do it! what an interesting set so far. i wish i'd heard the Halloween set. This daylight savings set is really cool. I had no idea there were so many of these. Very cool!
	3:25am Joe: Thanks, Sue--I guess there are a lot of songs about time out there, but I think I'm already getting tired of looking for them! Maybe a couple more....
	3:29am Sue: well at least I didn't miss your Single File segment. that's always cool.
	3:36am Joe: Thanks, Sue! I have to figure out when I'm going to do it...I think probably in an hour or so!
	3:41am Sue: Nice, I'll try to stay up with you! I can't believe you're doing this for an extra hour! That's kinda fun, isn't it? Or are you exhausted?
	3:43am Joe: No, I don't mind. The usual overnight shift is 4 hours, so this is standard practice for the Monday through Friday folks. I kinda like the extra hour. But maybe ask me in another 2 hours if I feel the same!
	4:41am Bas, NL: Good morning Joe! I just tuned in at a leisurely 10:30 AM winter time here in the Netherlands... first time listener; and me likes what i hear! ;) Best wishes, Bas
	4:42am Joe: Hey, Bas! Welcome! Glad you're tuned in. What's the weather like over there? I was over there in September a few years ago and it was already pretty cold!
	4:49am Bas, NL: Hi Joe! Well, i think the weather is pretty late this year and it's like a regular September at the moment: Light gray-ish and temperature's in the upper 50's Fahrenheit. I make it excellent weather for staying in and listening radio ;) Bas
	4:54am Joe: Sounds nice! We had a rainy, rainy Halloween here. Kind of appropriate, though! Very grey. Oddly warm, though!
	5:31am Bas, NL: Hi Joe, Ahh.. right! Sounds pretty bad to have a rainy Halloween! Halloween is not celebrated here in the Netherlands... Bas,
	5:32am Joe: Too bad! It's kind of fun to see all the kids walking around in costumes. And I like pumpkins!
	5:39am filip: Great music!!! Hello to everyone from Warsaw on the Day of the Dead... Making my way to the cemetery.
	5:40am Joe: Welcome, filip! Give my best to, uh, everybody!
	5:44am filip: ...and I will!
