Listener comments!
	7:03pm montgomery: jesse tune into this one quick!
	7:14pm Marc: Harry Carry was great calling a game drunk
	7:31pm Nicole: Night People!
	7:32pm Mutant: Early evening people!
	7:41pm cosmic matrix: i'm level 2, too!
	7:42pm cosmic matrix: cool show! i didn't know the history.
	7:43pm cosmic matrix: whoah. there's something odd on my gummi bear. a chunk of carnuba wax, perhaps.
	7:44pm Mutant: It's not clear to me what Reiki is supposed to do exactly
	7:44pm reiki: is cool
	7:45pm cosmic matrix: i'll have to try that battery experiment. youtube, people!
	7:46pm Sam: I don't believe in any of this. There's no evidence that any of this energy stuff is true, but every reason for us to want it to be true, and for the teachers of it to want us to want it to be true. Of course it makes you feel good, because it's therapy, you're getting attention, and it acts as a placebo. We don't have energy coming off us, unless you mean ordinary static electricity or whatever, and if there is you should be able to measure it and prove it. When this guy just dismissed science like that, that was it for me, I said Now I know this is bullshit. You should have more competent scientists on. Like the hypnotist, he was actually credible.
	7:46pm JakeGould: I like Rake-E. Great sequel to Wall-E.
	7:47pm cosmic matrix: sam, sam, sam.
	7:55pm Mutant: So you are saying it works, but it doesn't work since you can't explain it?
	7:58pm steve: the placebo effect is indeed something you can prove...
	8:01pm JakeGould: Why is anyone getting riled up over a freeform radio talk show talking about a quack? Chill folks.
	8:07pm Sam: Well, it might "work" in that it makes you feel better... But that doesn't mean you're feeling better because of the energy fields, you're simply feeling better because somebody said words over you and relaxed you and simply took your needs seriously. What I mean is, that's all you need, just someone to do this kind of ceremony over you. You don't need any of the theory and you don't need to believe in energy fields that probably don't exist.
