	♥ 11:14am Squints: ↳ Song: "Shotgun Boogie" by "Tennessee Ernie Ford" Is this whence Bowie learned to say it "boo-gie?"

	11:15am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:14 i believe the brits got it from their own thang.

	♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:18 Later on in the show, Pseu played Queen and I couldn't resist remarking on the board that Queen was about the only band I ever heard Joe Belock say he hated. Of coursre Pseu had some fun with that.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 i will try to send you the link.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:20 don't forget Aerosmith!!!

	♥ 11:21am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:03 You too sir!!
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Let's Go" by "Feelies, The" Sublime tune that sets the tone for the entire record.
	11:22am Scott in Denver: Speaking of links... Marty Stuart and the boys had a Tiny Desk Concert on NPR the other day. www.npr.org...
	♥ 11:22am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Let's Go" by "Feelies, The" Did the Feelies change their name to TFC?
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack, clarke, Pete, and all! Been cooking. Gotta go flip the taters in a sec here.

	11:25am clarke: is it just me that is getting drop-outs? in the wilds of mississippi, here with fiber-feed.
	11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael & all! Out hitting estate sales this morning…
	♥ 11:25am drr: How is it that Joe B. is mostly right about Queen and totally wrong about Aerosmith? What a world.
	♥ 11:25am dave miss: Hey Handy. Clarke & the Jerseyists
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: dave miss!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:25 there was some controversy over whether greg would actually BE here, today.
	♥ 11:26am drr: hey dave miss - let's not hit the shift key today. Just relax.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ dave miss @11:25 MISS!!
	♥ 11:27am dave miss: ↳ drr @11:25 Hey Drr, email me your address & Tshirt size
	♥ 11:27am Michael Shelley: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:25 let us know what you snag!
	♥ 11:28am Listener Baby: ↳ dave miss @11:27 832 Jackson Dr. Paso Robles, CA. 93446. Large.
	♥ 11:28am dave miss: ↳ drr @11:26 FUNNY
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:25 Haha. First concert ever was Aerosmith and they were the first band I discovered without any familial assistance, so I'm a longtime admirer (of their first five LPs or so).
	11:29am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers.
	♥ 11:29am drr: ↳ dave miss @11:27 Right on! Will do.
	11:30am clarke: Baby is going to get a lot of mail!!
	♥ 11:30am Hoboken Jack: ↳ pgalub @11:16 PEEEEEEETE!
	11:31am Cooh John: Aerosmith was my first concert too. Their first tour for $3.50.
	♥ 11:32am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:25 Hi Greg!
	11:32am Dave from Taylorhamtown: I never thought of winter as a period of suffering.
	♥ 11:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ Cooh John @11:31 Who opened the show? Mine was at the Garden, with the Nuge on first. Both bands made quite an impression.
	11:33am clarke: wow! watching TCM with the volume muted, and Fatty Arbuckle has a short with Petie - the our gang dog!!
	♥ 11:34am Your Ace From Exchange Place: ↳ johnk77 @11:12 I had a rock ‘n roll audio upbringing.
	♥ 11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:33 Like Arbuckle, Pete the Pup's career also ended up in scandal after he was accused of leg humping by multiple Hollywood pooches.
	11:35am clarke: hope Peite avoided the "coke-bottle treatment"!!!
	♥ 11:35am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 I stand by my contention that Steven Tyler's couplet "There was three young ladies in a school gym locker when I noticed they was looking at me" is one of the deepest lyrics of all time. Words to live by.
	11:36am Cooh John: New Jersey band from Ohio.
	♥ 11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: Nilsson?
	♥ 11:36am drr: I will say, by way of bragging, that my band Jimmy and The Wolfpack did "Cold Bologna" in our live set.
	♥ 11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: That's what struck me immediately. But it's probably not him.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:36 ha ha ha ha
	♥ 11:37am Squints: ↳ Song: "Cold Bologna" by "Isley Brothers, The" G G Y
	11:37am clarke: i vote for Mancini!!
	♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:35 You, sir, make a very strong point here. The whole song is pretty much a lyrical marvel.
	♥ 11:39am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Cold Bologna" by "Isley Brothers, The" First of all, great song! You are right. Big clues on that one. I just couldn’t pull it out of me.
	11:39am clarke: ah, baloney!!!
	♥ 11:39am Squints: ↳ drr @11:35 The chair gives this deep and open consideration.
	♥ 11:39am drr: It's the same music as "Harlem", from his first (?) album.
	11:40am b200: Mortadella = sophisticated bologna 😜
	11:40am The Kitchenwitch: Michael Shelly!! Check out (when u have 7mins) the vid I sent u on IGram. Interesting take on AI from an artist.
	♥ 11:40am Squints: My only objection to bologna is I begrudge the time to fry it up. If someone wants to fry it forrrrrr me, though...
	11:40am TimG: Bologna? Fried bologna is a southern favorite still. I’ll pass.
	♥ 11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:37 Michael thought it was a good guess!
	♥ 11:41am Squints: ↳ b200 @11:40 Mortadella is bland enough to make bologna taste like gabagool.
	♥ 11:41am drr: ↳ TimG @11:40 Pass it to me & Squints.
	♥ 11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: Sweet Baboo is what Sally called Linus
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:40 In "Diner," Steve Guttenberg's character charmingly wheedles a fried boloney sandwich out of his housekeeper.
	11:41am clarke: MS: seriously works: lie prone on a hard-floor, and flex up and down slowly for about ten to fifteen mins. WORKS!!
	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Song: "Tonight You Are A Tiger" by "Sweet Baboo" Sweet baboo was what Sally called Linus Van Pelt. Over his objection.
	11:42am Eli: I guessed Steve Cropper wrote the Isley Brothers song. Oh well...
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:41 i am pretty sure that was his mom!
	♥ 11:42am Barney Grubbs: “Oreo was created in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox.”!! en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:42am greg g: Morning Michael & all #1's !!!!
	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Song: "Tonight You Are A Tiger" by "Sweet Baboo" Somewhat strong with The Richman, this one is.
	♥ 11:43am Geoffrey in Ottawa: ↳ Eli @11:42 Me, too.
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ Squints @11:42 agree
	♥ 11:44am Squints: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:42 So Oreos are the Monkees of cream-filled chocolate cookies?
	11:44am George Kopp: Laura Cantrell tomorrow night in Metuchen, SOLD OUT! Thankfully we thought ahead for once, looking forward to it.
	11:45am clarke: baboo ist bueno!!
	♥ 11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:42 You are correct, sir. She had the vibe of a cutely cantankerous housekeeper but was actually the mother.
	♥ 11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ George Kopp @11:44 I blew it...
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 a knife-wielding mom.
	♥ 11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:42 WOW!
	♥ 11:46am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "Easybeats, The" One of those “ What does one play after this?” Tunes.
	♥ 11:46am drr: ↳ Squints @11:44 Or maybe Hydrox are the Pepsi.
	11:46am clarke: that two-timin' Petie!!!
	♥ 11:46am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "Easybeats, The" 45 Version?
	♥ 11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "Easybeats, The" Core Michael Shelley Number One-ism right here.
	♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Direct Sun Light" by "Gary Owens" Presumably not the same Gary Owens who broadcast from beautiful downtown Burbank.
	♥ 11:49am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Direct Sun Light" by "Gary Owens" Seems to me to be a 1 of 5 candidate, no?
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 hand-to-ear!!
	♥ 11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:49 He also narrated these comedy LPs featuring WC Fields and the Marx Brothers that we listened to obsessively as kids.
	11:50am Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @11:46 I think more the C&C Cola of sammich cremes
	♥ 11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Shotgun Boogie" by "Tennessee Ernie Ford" Also, I was cooking at the time, but this song is riDICulous! Ha!
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 ernie was cookin' too!!
	11:52am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Soul Girl" by "Jeanne And The Darlings" Competent, but lightning does not strike twice.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 i did not know that, dude.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Song: "Theme (Funky Mix)" by "Globetrotters, The" this screams saturday morning to me!
	♥ 11:53am Squints: ↳ Song: "Theme (Funky Mix)" by "Globetrotters, The" There's a non-funky mix? Put that in the fireplace with Smalls's first hat.
	11:54am clarke: killin' me smalls.
	♥ 11:54am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Theme (Funky Mix)" by "Globetrotters, The" Gerry Jermatt?
	11:55am clarke: a bass-ment
	♥ 11:56am Squints: Northeast. Might have seen them in Philly but not in PIttsubrgh. Much like you mention TastyKakes up here and people look at your like you have two heads. Forgot how much I missed Drakes, especially Yankee Doodles, until I got back up this way.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Song: "The First One" by "Gary Valentine" yes!!!
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:56 when in the area i was a Funny Bones man.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:57 best graphics!!
	11:59am Gordon FM: Stannin Up on a Sultry SaturDAY!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Gordon FM @11:59 ain't no one bettah!!
	♥ 12:00pm Squints: ↳ clarke @11:57 Funny Bones were OK, but if I'm do peanut butter I'll just mainline Reese's. Don't get much peanut butter no more because then if I kiss her I'll kill her. I exaggerate for effect. But nobody wants me Jerry Lewising with an epipen.
	♥ 12:00pm prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	♥ 12:00pm Squints: ↳ Song: "I Feel Fine]" by "Chet Atkins" This is quite fine. Apparently there just might be money above the fifth fret.
	♥ 12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Feel Fine]" by "Chet Atkins" Enoch Light & the Light Brigade do a kickin' cover of this one.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:00 hey ladyyyyyy!!! FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	♥ 12:01pm Squints: Bah-hah-hah-hah-hah.
	12:01pm Scott in Denver: I LOVED pinball. We went top Sluggos when in Lincoln.
	♥ 12:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:01 I never went to Sluggos! I think it came around when I moved away before I came back. Red Baron at the mall, however.
	12:02pm clarke: there's a Cooke's on cape cod - but, i don't think it is the old chain? in orleans.
	♥ 12:03pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Pinball Anonymous" by "Willis Brothers, The" This could almost serve as the basis for a rock opera.
	12:03pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:02 I used to work at the Gateway mall at Jeans West.
	12:03pm Mr. Jones: It's the demise of the mob and their all cash "Amusements" business.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:03 that'll never fly!
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:03 WHO would try that??
	12:04pm TimG: We had a garage full of pinball machines my Dad would bring home much to my mothers consternation (to put it mildly)
	12:04pm Scott in Denver: Dave & Busters is allowing gambling on the games now. Buy their stock.
	♥ 12:04pm Handy Haversack: There's actually lots of pinball in my neighborhood, but we lost so much good pinball to the pandemic. We had the best thing ever. But nothing gold can stay. Worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie.
	♥ 12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:03 Jeans West. Jeans West. Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.
	12:04pm Isaac Candelario: “Pinball machine” by Lonnie Irving is one of the best country songs of all time.
	♥ 12:05pm Handy Haversack: Steal stuff from work is what Michael is saying here.
	12:06pm Mr. Jones: This feels like a Soupy Sales segment.
	12:06pm Scott in Denver: Theres a "WaterWorld" pinball machine for sale here in CO. I'm so embarrassed for Kevin Costner.
	12:06pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:06 Does the playboard have any water features?
	♥ 12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:04 I know -- it sounds crazy, but with the right tunes ...
	♥ 12:08pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:06 Waterworld, yeah it's no Showgirls.
	♥ 12:08pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:02 Trynna remember now if there are any Cooke'ses left from the old chain. I know Seafood Sam's is still a thing.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:08 remember Bickford's??
	♥ 12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ TimG @12:04 must have been a popular house with the neighborhood kids!
	♥ 12:10pm Cheryl The Nerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	12:10pm Scott in Denver: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:06 from the seller... "If you think your with the price police do not bother messaging me you’ll just be wasting your time and blocked I don’t answer foolish messages!"
	♥ 12:10pm Frank Verplanck: Over the years was involved with a few endeavors where it seemed like handing out free pens would be beneficial, but sooner or later some guy has a faulty pen with your name on it!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:09 i'm guessing those machines were in various states of disrepair. ??
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:10 nyyyyyc!!!
	♥ 12:10pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:08 Yeah. A lot of those were in former HoJo's in New England. Then they tried to go slightly (slightly) upscale in the early 2000s while keep the breakfast-all-day-if-you-want-it. Chain went down within like a year or two. Sad.
	12:11pm Scott in Denver: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:10 I didn't ask him. This was already in his ad. : >
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:10 there was a HoJo's in orleans, too - right in the Split, if you know where dat is.
	♥ 12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Road To Wick" by "Manflesh" external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	♥ 12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:10 Well then. You just lost yourself a customer!
	♥ 12:14pm Squints: I know that part of Orleans pretty well. That's home base for our bikes and beers weekend in August. Hasn't been a HoJos since at least 1998 which is when I started riding sag for my guys. I think it's a slightly divey pub now. I love Orleans. If Plymouth weren't kinda happenin', I'd give thought to retiring out that way.
	12:14pm clarke: Baby's Coasters. nuff said.
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Come On Let's Go" by "Rogues, The" Now THIS right here is Number 1. The production on this thing is astoundingly in-your-face. I love it.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:14 orleans has changed so much. as has the whole cape.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:15 that's just, uh, your rogue opinion.
	♥ 12:16pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:15 It's sadly a lot less mom&pop.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:16 that location, in the Split, has been a lot of different venues. some i have played in/at.
	12:17pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	12:17pm clarke: rexy!
	12:19pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke clarke, good morning.
	12:19pm clarke: what's on the menu, Rx??
	12:20pm clarke: the happy difference!!
	12:20pm paul: ↳ Song: "La La Land" by "Martha Spencer" If Dolly Parton was on Plantation Records.
	12:21pm clarke: the joik!
	♥ 12:21pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag (Pt. 1)" by "James Brown" Yipes. not for AM broadcast
	12:22pm clarke: G G Sq
	♥ 12:22pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:22 Yup.
	12:23pm Jim in MA: Hey Michael Shelley and fellow music enthusiasts! Rock on!
	12:23pm clarke: stripes make the man!
	♥ 12:24pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Off and Running" by "Greg Townson" I was just thinking when you played the James Brown that Greg is a big JB fan. How fitting that you follow him up with Greg. I'm sure if he's listening he'll appreciate it.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Got You" by "Split Enz" oh yeah.!
	♥ 12:25pm Handy Haversack: What sort of hookery-jackery is THIS?
	♥ 12:25pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:24 Even with the stutter. CURSE that Turntable One.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Got You" by "Split Enz" so nice he played it twice! drum sound jumps off the grooves!!
	12:25pm Mr. Jones: deja ... something
	12:26pm Kent: Sometime you should play Lesley Gore’s original recording of Off and Running!
	12:26pm clarke: Turntable #1 refers you to his representative.
	12:27pm clarke: as i recall, the vinyl of this has designs cut into one or two of the sides?
	♥ 12:27pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:27 With "lasers" (TM).
	12:28pm David Watts: Man 79/80 was a great time for music
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:27 one million dollars!
	12:28pm Kent: I think it’s a minute and 33 seconds long. Does that convince you, Michael?😎
	12:29pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke Butterbean soup, grilled Haloumi, roasted broccoli, and radishes with butter and salt and good bread. Also, wine, probably a rose (Cabernet Franc).
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:29 you've always got It goin' on (a la cheap trick!)
	♥ 12:30pm drr: "Paradise Theatre" by Styx has an etched side or sides. Aren't you glad to know that?
	♥ 12:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: I do not have a record that does reflections like that. But I need one now! I new about laser etchings, but not like that.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:30 something i shall never see!
	♥ 12:30pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Kent @12:26 it really is FANTASTIC!
	♥ 12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:29 You know how to do it right, rexy!
	♥ 12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: My new girlfriend is fascinated by records and thinks I'm cool, reflective etchings might help prolong that delusion.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:31 new girlfriend. niiiice!!
	♥ 12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:30 Just checked my copy of Split Enz -- bupkiss! Waah...
	♥ 12:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "You Got What I Want" by "Blue Boys, The" The Blue Boys should hook up with Billy Preston; then everyone can give and get all they can!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:31 i think it was the first pressing only?
	♥ 12:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:31 Whatever it takes! My girlfriend is already onto the "more records?" phase. But it has been twenty-five years.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:32 hey, that reminds me - there was a record She was playing in nola?? remember??
	♥ 12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:31 She's amazing

	♥ 12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:32 I think I have quite a bit of time before that happens.
	12:34pm Jim in MA: Music collaborations between The Blue Boys and Billy Preston rock!
	♥ 12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:34 We'll probably hit New Orleans sometime, actually.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 i would recommend AFTER nov 1st - if you don't want her to melt!
	♥ 12:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: Yes, it'd have to be after the election anyway. My work schedule is about to get a little bit crazier
	12:36pm clarke: yes. yes, it is. so is my ignoring!
	♥ 12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Vegetable Love Song" by "Jewel Akens" Aha, a healthy alternative to Cold Bologna.
	♥ 12:36pm egould: Cabbage and baggage? Sure, why not?
	12:36pm clarke: ahhh, baloney!!
	♥ 12:37pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "I Got You" by "Split Enz" Yeah Michael...a great laser etched record and I also wonder why no one seems to have done it also....much better than a picture disc. I saw Split Enz live at the Ritz at the time of True Colours and they carried the geometric theme on to Noel Crombie's costume design. Half way through the lights went dark to revel that the white of the costumes was day glo and they were all geometric shapes moving about the stage. Costumes now in NZed's National Museum! Great band,,,great show thanks!
	♥ 12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:35 You have my vote!
	♥ 12:37pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Vegetable Love Song" by "Jewel Akens" I love that someone spent time writing this.
	♥ 12:38pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 Is Olive Loaf a healthier alternative?
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ tadpoles @12:37 nice, mate!! lucky to have seen 'em!
	♥ 12:40pm Squints: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:38 Loved olive loaf when I was a kid. Fell away from it about the same time my bologna stopped gettin' fried.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:38 Olive Oil protesteth. Brutus/Bluto, not so much.
	♥ 12:40pm Squints: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:38 What we need is jalapeno or habanero loaf.
	♥ 12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:37 Thankfully, I don't plan to ever run for office, it's too much work. But I'll help others!
	12:41pm clarke: for money!
	♥ 12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:41 Yes. But I also volunteer for local people.
	♥ 12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:38 It's healthier than head cheese, that I know. Seriously, I remember when Oscar Mayer's head cheese used to sit right next to the olive loaf. Golden age of processed meats!
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:40 I do not get nearly enough things in loaf form. Is this a side effect of vegetarianism? Where's my loaf at?!
	♥ 12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:41 Yes!
	12:42pm clarke: oyster loaf at Mandina's just called...
	♥ 12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 Bllllluto did it.
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:40 Good. We have some rope we'd like moved.
	♥ 12:43pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Squints @12:40 I got a pack of pickle loaf in the fridge right now. It's my only weakness.
	12:43pm clarke: we've moved SO MUCH Rope, today, that the hours have flown by!!
	♥ 12:43pm Squints: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:43 Dill or sweet? Is that like olive loaf with a mild mortadellish sausage?
	12:43pm Moammar: The AI is killing my morale.
	♥ 12:44pm Handy Haversack: There was an NYC event for alums of my high school last night. K8 and I were chatting with, er, some of the older folks (staff), and this kid comes up, huge, blond kid, I think he was class of 2019(!), ear loops, Viking beard, awesome stuff. And he points at my T-shirt and says, "Is that a radio station?" And it turns out he has a freeform postpunk show on his college's station (Drexel U in Philly) and LOVES radio and freeform and had never heard of WFMU! So, well, he's heard of it now, that's for sure. Was going to spend his bus ride back to Philly checking it out. I'm going to check out his show, Friday, 12-2 PM. That felt like a win!
	♥ 12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @12:42 🫡
	♥ 12:45pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:40 A quick search of the internet tells me that you, Squints, should develop and market a jalapeno loaf. You could become a millionaire.
	12:45pm Jim in MA: Discussing moving rope: It's a tug of war in every relocation situation!
	♥ 12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:10 At Cooks there was a full time (?) fixer
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:43 no sweet pickles in my world - or elections.
	12:45pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Cocaine Blues (at Folsom Prison)" by "Johnny Cash" Oh, hell yes. How early in the day is too early to start drinking hard liquor?
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: Every Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, no matter if we or the other family was hosting, "At Folsom Prison" found its way to the turntable. As did "The Buckaroos Play The Hits Of Merle Haggard." I know all of AFP by heart.
	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Moammar @12:45 Er, some time well before about an hour ago!
	♥ 12:46pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Jim in MA @12:45 Ahh, I knew it was you
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:45 But then I'd have to share jalapenos. And I'm a bit of a hound that way.
	♥ 12:47pm egould: ↳ Moammar @12:45 I poured a bourbon at 9am. Go for it.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:47 You are and have always been my hero.
	♥ 12:47pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Squints @12:43 Just bits of pickle swimming thru the forcemeat. Like the pistachio and lardons in a mortadella.
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:45 I heartily agree. Dill of bust.
	12:48pm rx "rexy" scabin: @Handy Haversack my Wake hats have giving me many opportunities to proselytize and put people on the right path to radio salvation. It feels good.
	12:48pm clarke: savory and... savory!!
	♥ 12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "If You Love Her" by "Benny Spellman" Benny often has a similar timbre to Allen Toussaint's, but not so much here.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 ain't no bettah!
	♥ 12:51pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Cocaine Blues (at Folsom Prison)" by "Johnny Cash" Scored a copy of this for $3 at Tunes in Hoboken a few months ago. I couldn't believe my luck.
	♥ 12:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" Hell yeah! Number One with a bullet!
	♥ 12:51pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" Heck yes!
	12:51pm Scott in Denver: Wonder what FLAV is doing with his Saturday?
	12:52pm Ray from Clifton, now in N. Plainfield: FLAVAAAAAAAA FLAVVV
	12:52pm Moammar: Weird coincidence: I'm wearing a giant clock on a chain today.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: K8 told me yesterday that college kids don't even know who Flava Flav IS today! What has happened to this world?!
	12:52pm clarke: don't!
	♥ 12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @12:52 Boyee!
	♥ 12:53pm egould: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" I know I sound like an old dude, but rap used to be much better than this mumbly bullshit that passes as rap nowadays.
	12:54pm Scott in Denver: Chuck D always had the most commanding voice.
	12:54pm clarke: a public enema.
	12:55pm I'm with the banned: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" 🎤 🎧 🖤!!!!
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:53 Well, it's unfair to compare anyone to Public Enemy. The best that's ever been!
	12:56pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" Longest song I've ever heard on this show. #doodybreak
	♥ 12:56pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:55 Yeah. Tough act to follow.
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! I just threw out the last eleven inches of every ruler in the apartment. We no longer need to count past one!
	12:56pm clarke: mar shall
	♥ 12:57pm Squints: Love this. Need to learn it for the open mics.
	♥ 12:57pm egould: Thanks Michael. Enjoyed mucho!
	♥ 12:57pm Cheryl The Nerd: Thanks Michael! Great show!
	♥ 12:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:57 "Something's Gonna Happen" or "Don't Believe the Hype"? I say do both!

	♥ 12:58pm DanFA: ↳ egould @12:56 I'd recommend clipping and Kendrick Lamar. if you're looking for some good contemporary rap that isn't mumbly.
	♥ 12:58pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 SGH. I'd look pretty silly trying to hip the hop.
	♥ 12:59pm Hughie Considine: Thanks for another gloriously hit-filled Saturday, Michael!
	12:59pm danny san: Saw P.E. live with Ice Cube and Digital Underground in 89 in K.C.MO. and for intermission a gang fight on the floor ,,, it was great.

	♥ 11:40am Squints: My only objection to bologna is I begrudge the time to fry it up. If someone wants to fry it forrrrrr me, though...
	11:40am TimG: Bologna? Fried bologna is a southern favorite still. I’ll pass.
	♥ 11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:37 Michael thought it was a good guess!

	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Song: "Tonight You Are A Tiger" by "Sweet Baboo" Sweet baboo was what Sally called Linus Van Pelt. Over his objection.

Hasn't been a HoJos since at least 1998 which is when I started riding sag for my guys. I think it's a slightly divey pub now. I love Orleans.

	♥ 12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:38 It's healthier than head cheese, that I know. Seriously, I remember when Oscar Mayer's head cheese used to sit right next to the olive loaf. Golden age of processed meats!
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:40 I do not get nearly enough things in loaf form. Is this a side effect of vegetarianism? Where's my loaf at?!
	♥ 12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:41 Yes!
	12:42pm clarke: oyster loaf at Mandina's just called...
	♥ 12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 Bllllluto did it.
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:40 Good. We have some rope we'd like moved.
	♥ 12:43pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Squints @12:40 I got a pack of pickle loaf in the fridge right now. It's my only weakness.
	12:43pm clarke: we've moved SO MUCH Rope, today, that the hours have flown by!!
	♥ 12:43pm Squints: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:43 Dill or sweet? Is that like olive loaf with a mild mortadellish sausage?
	12:43pm Moammar: The AI is killing my morale.
	♥ 12:44pm Handy Haversack: There was an NYC event for alums of my high school last night. K8 and I were chatting with, er, some of the older folks (staff), and this kid comes up, huge, blond kid, I think he was class of 2019(!), ear loops, Viking beard, awesome stuff. And he points at my T-shirt and says, "Is that a radio station?" And it turns out he has a freeform postpunk show on his college's station (Drexel U in Philly) and LOVES radio and freeform and had never heard of WFMU! So, well, he's heard of it now, that's for sure. Was going to spend his bus ride back to Philly checking it out. I'm going to check out his show, Friday, 12-2 PM. That felt like a win!
	♥ 12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @12:42 🫡
	♥ 12:45pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:40 A quick search of the internet tells me that you, Squints, should develop and market a jalapeno loaf. You could become a millionaire.
	12:45pm Jim in MA: Discussing moving rope: It's a tug of war in every relocation situation!
	♥ 12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:10 At Cooks there was a full time (?) fixer
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:43 no sweet pickles in my world - or elections.
	12:45pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Cocaine Blues (at Folsom Prison)" by "Johnny Cash" Oh, hell yes. How early in the day is too early to start drinking hard liquor?
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: Every Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, no matter if we or the other family was hosting, "At Folsom Prison" found its way to the turntable. As did "The Buckaroos Play The Hits Of Merle Haggard." I know all of AFP by heart.
	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Moammar @12:45 Er, some time well before about an hour ago!
	♥ 12:46pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Jim in MA @12:45 Ahh, I knew it was you
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:45 But then I'd have to share jalapenos. And I'm a bit of a hound that way.
	♥ 12:47pm egould: ↳ Moammar @12:45 I poured a bourbon at 9am. Go for it.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:47 You are and have always been my hero.
	♥ 12:47pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Squints @12:43 Just bits of pickle swimming thru the forcemeat. Like the pistachio and lardons in a mortadella.
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:45 I heartily agree. Dill of bust.
	12:48pm rx "rexy" scabin: @Handy Haversack my Wake hats have giving me many opportunities to proselytize and put people on the right path to radio salvation. It feels good.
	12:48pm clarke: savory and... savory!!
	♥ 12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "If You Love Her" by "Benny Spellman" Benny often has a similar timbre to Allen Toussaint's, but not so much here.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 ain't no bettah!
	♥ 12:51pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Cocaine Blues (at Folsom Prison)" by "Johnny Cash" Scored a copy of this for $3 at Tunes in Hoboken a few months ago. I couldn't believe my luck.
	♥ 12:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" Hell yeah! Number One with a bullet!
	♥ 12:51pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" Heck yes!
	12:51pm Scott in Denver: Wonder what FLAV is doing with his Saturday?
	12:52pm Ray from Clifton, now in N. Plainfield: FLAVAAAAAAAA FLAVVV
	12:52pm Moammar: Weird coincidence: I'm wearing a giant clock on a chain today.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: K8 told me yesterday that college kids don't even know who Flava Flav IS today! What has happened to this world?!
	12:52pm clarke: don't!
	♥ 12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @12:52 Boyee!
	♥ 12:53pm egould: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" I know I sound like an old dude, but rap used to be much better than this mumbly bullshit that passes as rap nowadays.
	12:54pm Scott in Denver: Chuck D always had the most commanding voice.
	12:54pm clarke: a public enema.
	12:55pm I'm with the banned: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" 🎤 🎧 🖤!!!!
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:53 Well, it's unfair to compare anyone to Public Enemy. The best that's ever been!
	12:56pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Don't Believe The Hype" by "Public Enemy" Longest song I've ever heard on this show. #doodybreak
	♥ 12:56pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:55 Yeah. Tough act to follow.
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! I just threw out the last eleven inches of every ruler in the apartment. We no longer need to count past one!
	12:56pm clarke: mar shall
	♥ 12:57pm Squints: Love this. Need to learn it for the open mics.

	♥ 12:58pm DanFA: ↳ egould @12:56 I'd recommend clipping and Kendrick Lamar. if you're looking for some good contemporary rap that isn't mumbly.
	♥ 12:58pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 SGH. I'd look pretty silly trying to hip the hop.
	♥ 12:59pm Hughie Considine: Thanks for another gloriously hit-filled Saturday, Michael!
	12:59pm danny san: Saw P.E. live with Ice Cube and Digital Underground in 89 in K.C.MO. and for intermission a gang fight on the floor ,,, it was great.
