For the 1st time in 2012, Dr. Hal goes long... very long, on a 6 hour show designed to squeeze the last electrons out of the ramshackle and antiquated equipment of the Radio Valencia studio, as another Chicken John fundraiser squeezes the shekels from loyal listeners and patrons. Several times Dr. Hal tries to end the show, only to be barricaded inside the booth by misguided fans. In the end, Dr. Sleepless finally overcomes his interstellar knihilism, slays Hal's fans, frees Hal and resumes the regular broadcast schedule.
