Kids these days.

When I was your age, we would gather around the radio—the whole family—and listen to audio entertainments with our eyes closed. We didn’t need pictures or videos. Or videogames. Actually, back in those days, your eyes only served two purposes:

1.) Picking cotton.
2.) Shooting Nazis.

I believe in the power of radio to tap into our imaginations and transport us to different places and times. It seems, however, that some rogue elements of the A Life Well Wasted audience demand visual stimulation. I won’t call them out by name. But since I ultimately believe that the customer is always right, I will comply with their demands. And so I present to you what your eyes were missing in “Gotta Catch ‘em All,” episode 2 of A Life Well Wasted.

The electro-mechanial room at Lucky Juju. Electro-mechanical means old, like before pinball machines got little LCD screen mini-games and Star Wars licenses. You can see one of the Ju Ju's hand-painted pinball art reproductions, Majorettes, on the back wall. It's on giant canvas.

The final moments of EA Land, as heard in the final moments of episode 2. There has been some confusion about what is “real” and what I added. Everything, including the music, is part of the video.
