Sometimes we get comments from people about our live stream, and the extended introduction with music and memes. I took the time to make a detailed answer for a recent comment on my YouTube, you can find it here, if you search comments by newest:
I'm also pasting my answer below, as an opportunity to have a link to share, and maybe make a video with that weird AI voice for my youtube.
"My Comment Below"

Hi Katta,
The original concept for "Rx Only PICTURESHOW", (created by myself and my co-producer JEM), was for a VARIETY SHOW. Like the Smothers Brothers, or the 'show of shows' by Sid Caesar...
I participated in a Flat Earth debate sometime around 2018 and it gave us the "livestreaming bug", so we decided to start our own thing.
I sing and play the guitar, and I'm pretty good with the yo-yo. JEM Sings and plays piano and is pretty good with juggling.
It's common for a livestream to have an 'extended introduction' and it gives time for the audience to arrive and participate.
ALSO:
[Both of us co-hosts might have a touch of ADHD and Myers-Briggs ENFP type personality traits...]
So then the introduction becomes distended--as we are disorganized--AND while we are promoting the show to our friends in the background via social media etc, we might get distracted or even need to wait longer because we don't have everything ready to push the button yet.
We did 24.5 shows before we ever had Tracy on!
We were always big fans of Twyman's work and we were super excited that she was willing to give us an interview.
She later told us that she liked the show and the memes so much that she just wanted to join us every week instead of just being a guest occasionally.
As you can imagine, we were flabbergasted. (And of course we immediately said yes.)
This changed the show significantly.
It did not completely remove the variety show elements, but definitely minimized them.
Tracy and our regular audience were well aware of our ADHD tendencies and completely familiar with the show's format.
I understand it can be annoying or off-putting--but you can always just skip around until the part that you want to see starts--or sometimes if you check the comments, a person might have put a timestamp that denotes the end of the introduction & music/memes.
I hope this helps to clarify any uncertainty or irritation you might have with our format.
Hopefully you are enjoying the reruns!
We certainly miss this wonderful time of our lives and dearly Miss Tracy everyday.
Take care,
-sb
