Summary

Long ago, Randall Radbot got his heart broken when he asked Mamma Jamma out to a school dance. Instead of dealing with his disappointment, Randall imagines an alternate universe where robots don’t exist!

Lessons include: We don’t have to share all of our painful memories, but we still have to learn to live with them; having a crush on someone doesn’t mean they will have a crush on you.

We’ll learn about Randall’s lost memories, see more of Mr. Beard, and share more adventures in the Dracoverse in the next story!

0:05.5	Grown-ups you might not know it, but I changed podcasting platforms three times before finding
0:10.9	anchor. Yeah, he wasn't very good. Well also it was kind of confusing and expensive,

0:21.9	Like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more. But if I started a new podcast right now,
0:27.2	I wouldn't even know how to publish it without anchor. I also like that you can make

1:43.2	I'm here to lodge a beep-beep complaint. Oh no, what's wrong? What indeed Mr. Rarik?

1:55.4	Well, a gig of hurts, man. And it's time I said something. You know, we actually do have a
2:00.6	question about you today from a listener named Will. Hi, my name is Will, and I like the movie
2:07.0	Coraline. My question is what if Randall Radbott fell in love and went to the prom with Nama
2:16.3	Dammar? Thank you. We love your hot past. Bye. I went into it every night. Sorry Will, no
2:22.8	conduit. No conduit? Exactly. I've severed all conduits to that memory. Randall, you do not have to
