"She had a lot of fun learning how to use the scope. Her favorite was a FM modulated sine wave she called 'dancing ghosts'."

Anyone ID the modular in the background?

Update via woostern in the comments: "That is my DIY MOTM-format modular, with mostly MFOS modules. There is also some homebrew and PCB's from various other people."

The Ray Wilson Show November 2009 WLT

YouTube via theraywilsonshow
"Another hilarious episode of the Ray Wilson show. The new smash comedy hit that has the entire world talking and falling out of their seats. Conan and Jay and Jimmy eat your hearts out. If anyone knows Conan or Jay or Jimmy personally and recommends the Ray Wilson show to them and they ask me to write for them and pay me lots of dough I will buy that person a Ferrari once I have enough surplus money to afford one which may regrettably take a while."

"A moderately funny observational humor show (smash hit hiliarious new wow... phhht). I got some good comments which led me to augment the video with audio of a focus group of people laughing while watching the video... OK I'm lying I added a laugh track at the request of millions of viewers. Ok one viewer. OK if you don't like the first ten seconds I recommend that you move on to the next piano playing cat video because it doesn't get a whole lot better but it keeps me out of the bars."
