Hi everybody, welcome to the Friday night edition of the Stratosphere Lounge.

I'm your host Bill Wittle and it is the 16th of June 2023.

I hope everybody's doing okay out there.

I had to miss the Stratosphere Studio show on Monday.

I was doing the Defense of the Moon landing.

That went really well.

It was a lot of fun.

And I was not able to make the show yesterday because I was in Nashville.

That was a little more iffy.

Mostly went out there to make a personal appeal to see if we could get some daily wire

limited time memberships so people could see, you know, the work that I've been doing there.

And I didn't get an answer right away, but it really was kind of a, you know know take a number and here's your here's

your time and your time is expired thank you have a nice day so that was a little

disappointing to say the least but in any event here we are okay so I don't

know I'll do do that a minute.

So I'm doing my level best here to try and get that done.

A nice surprise when I was there was, I got a chance to see

the first episode Rough Cut of Empire of Terror,

which I was not expecting.

I didn't know if it was even close to being ready,

but they had it, and they showed it to me.

We're going to watch the first ten minutes,
