X Minus One – Real Gone. ep90, 570227

Featuring Al Jazzbo Collins, playing… Al Jazzbo Collins! The popular musician tells about his military service in the war, and the day he met someone he served with on the streets of the city after they had returned to the world of civilians. Ralph offers the chance to make a cool 5 grand. It’s the kind of business ventures that come across Al’s path all the time. People wanting him to invest in them, and always having to turn them down.

Later, at a bar, Al encounters Ralph again. How’s that business offer going? Deciding to go with him, Al finds the spacious warehouse, filled with the mysterious project. Machinery whirs, and comes to life. Can you say, “Honey I blew up the kids?” The experiment demonstrates how a small cube is grown into a huge block. Is there limits on the expansion? Will there be any unsavory side affects.

Al goes about his typical day in the music studios, but is drawn back into Ralph’s scheme. A matter he would rather stay clear of. Will the enlarging project lead to big money? Will Al get drawn into the work, along with the bickering friends who can’t agree over the experiment? Probably not as much as they do.
