Episode 312: Oh, Oh, Here He Come, He’s A John Titor

Show Notes Episode 312: Oh, Oh, Here He Come, He’s A John Titor This week Host Dave Bledsoe constructs a time machine to travel back in time before he accrued these unreasonable bar tabs in order to drink them a second time. (He actually just forgot what bar he was drinking in and wandered back in for more booze. Third time this week) On the show this week we tune in Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and try to remember our AIM password, because we are talking about Time Traveler John Titor!  Along the way we discover what Dave and George RR Martin have in common, besides procrastination and a heavy drinking problem. (allegedly) Then we head back to 1998 where Art has opened the wild card lines to time travelers to meet Mr John Titor! Chrononaut, American Soldier and fan of Ayn Rand. (Which is all you really need to know about John!) From there we learn about why Titor came back, his love of modestly priced Toyota station wagons (reliability AND fun!) and the temporal mechanics involved in utilizing a General Electric Army C204 temporal displacement device. (Step one, plug the unit into a 110 volt power supply) Also why John came back for an antiquated IBM computer. (He had the high score in Pong on it, and wanted to preserve it for posterity) Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddies Obsolete Computer Warehouse, when you need junk think Fast Eddie. We open with Art’s broadcast that started it all and close with Justin Armstrong’s warning about Titor.
