	11:17am Dennis Diken: Jack! great to see you yesterday! hey Baby! @Handy - great to meet you at Rutt's!!
	11:18am nightengale: how did the greatest hits record label deal with the copyright?
	11:21am Listener Baby: Hi Double D. Hi everybody!
	11:21am Hoboken Jack: Baby oh yeah!
	11:22am HyperDose: Can't wait to dig into that Rutt's parking lot show!
	11:25am Sean: That's why Dylan couldn't afford the motorcycle helmet

	11:26am Muswell Hillbilly: I love it when horns get involved! (Honestly it's why I'm a sucker for most wedding band songs...)
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That car though.
	11:28am Listener Baby: So far, so great, Baby.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Nobody with that car is anyone's fool.
	11:31am Dano59: Well, Michael, it seems you've embraced the rabbithole approach to radio programming. Good on you!
	11:32am MFlynn: Thanks Michael!! Thoroughly enjoying today’s Bergen White selections!
	11:33am Frank In Queens: Yay!
	11:33am spodiodi: conrgrats, M$!
	11:33am Handy Haversack: Yay, congrats, Michael! My second shot in Monday morning!
	11:33am Muswell Hillbilly: Congrats on the vax!
	11:34am Baja Joe: Hidey Ho Michael and everyone! Congrats on your double shot vaccination and haircut. I have the same, vaccine and long overdo haircut.
	11:35am MFlynn: Good for you Michael! Unfortunately no shots yet in PA for those under 65. Great state huh?
	11:35am Joe B: baseball Altamont!
	11:36am Frank In Queens: I"m all in favor of getting rid of the stupid shift!
	11:36am clarke: these rules have been in use in college ball for a while (except for the shift part)
	11:36am myron feld: I like none of these rule changes.
	11:36am P-90: “SOMETHING had to go...” I hear you, Michael.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that extra innings rule is terrible. And restricting the shift is just idiotic. Not good to sacrifice strategy for the most marginal possible gains in terms of time. Make games shorter by limiting commercials.
	11:37am Joe B: I love the shift. If hitters are dumb enough/stubborn enough to not adjust, that should be there problem
	11:37am Adammets: The minor leagues used to have 7 inning double headers a long time ago. The MLB changes are purely for COVID and will go back after COVID has passed.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sports blah blah when you put the antifreeze in the gas tank of the jockstrap hypotenuse of the Sportsball Sports blah blah...
	11:38am myron feld: exactly, Joe B. Don't try to pull every pitch. Try going the other way. It can work.
	11:38am clarke: while i don't like the shift, joe's right - if you can't show you can beat the shift, then use it!
	11:38am Handy Haversack: Adammets, I hope you're right but really don't think so. MLB has revealed itself. Love the game. Hate the league.
	11:38am Michael in Montclair: If you want to speed up the game of baseball, look no further than the late George Carlin's proposed rules, such as one strike and you're out.
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: MLB is hoping to attract new fans by pissing off all of their existing fans, aka "The Metallica Model"
	11:39am Joe B: baseball takes too long because batters step out after every pitch and spend 5 minutes adjusting their 12 pieces of body armor
	11:39am Listener Baby: Always good for reminding us how great The Beach Boys were.
	11:40am Doug in JC: I like my sports on a low hum in the next room with a snoring grandpa
	11:40am Dennis Diken: “no one’s pitchin’ ‘cause there ain’t no batters”
	11:40am JohnEBGood: No problem with the shift. Don't like the xtra inning rule. Toronto just eliminated their radio broadcast. Getty Lee just spoke up on this! Imagine getting rid of John and Susan?
	11:40am Montmaster J: Mets Covid related cancellation of opener was so this year....sigh.
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Pretty much how I grew up, Doug!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, and so Mets!
	11:41am TimG: WELL, Michael....while I agree some of the new rules are bunk (Senior Softball Rules...7 innings/runner at second). Baseball has become a home run or strike out affair. I love baseball as much as music but when the ball is not hit in play...the game becomes tedious. The shift has killed the idea of single, sacrifice, bunt, hit and run et al. I rest my case, your honor.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Greg, MLB just needs some fresh characters with an edgy, in-your-face attitude. Maybe ... a dog ... with a surf board? That feels right!
	11:42am Montmaster J: @Frank....yup....still love 'em though!
	11:42am Doug in JC: @Handy "I wasn't sleeping"
	11:42am Frank In Queens: @TimG well said.
	11:43am jake6573: The Alabama Wild Man is Right ! Love Jerry Reed
	11:43am Michael Shelley: Joe B - and spitting!
	11:43am Dennis Diken: I was “very, very hurt” by the sharp corners on that Jalopy Five track! Very entertaining!!
	11:43am Joe B: the shift didn't kill those things.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, yep. At least there's genuine optimism for this year.
	11:43am Michael in Montclair: Congratulations Michael on the 2nd vax shot!
	11:44am Joe B: @Michael - ha yes!
	11:44am Gf2002: My interest in baseball went on hiatus after the Phillies started to suck again.
	11:44am Listener Baby: Michael in Mont. They call him Baby Two Times.
	11:44am Hoboken Jack: I don't care for the extra inning and doubleheader rules but they did help last year when there were so many cancelations and resultant doubleheaders.
	11:44am JohnEBGood: I agree with Joe B. Laying down a a bunt is a way to make the shift pay.
	11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: @Handy: Can we rasta-fy MLB by 10%? In movie news, I watched Mank and then the next day I watched Mank again, because this is America and I can watch Mank as many times as I want. Also Judas & The Black Messiah deserves a dumptruck full of Academy Awards. Lakeith is so good that I actually worry about him. His level of vulnerability is in the Heath Ledger/Philip Seymour Hoffman zone.
	11:45am Montmaster J: @Frank Absolutely....Uncle Steve and Lindor bring new hope....I was not pleased by the new addition to the board though...gave me pause ;(
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Is "Wise Like Soloman" on that album a deliciously clever pun or a deliciously ironic spelling error?
	11:45am paul: Look at those cute cats! :)
	11:46am Hoboken Jack: The only rule change that really upsets me is now you only have to tie The Freeze.
	11:46am paul: Honey
	11:46am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, I had to look up to see what you were talking about. That does indeed suck.
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Personally, I'm looking forward to Sparky kicking the shit out of Gritty tonight.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Once we figured out what was really going on with Kate's asking to watch "Heavy Metal," we watched "The Sound of Metal" last night. Quite good.
	11:48am spodiodi: second time i've heard as much here, Handy. i should check it out
	11:48am clarke: MovieTime, frank?
	11:48am Greg from ZONE 5: @Jack: LOL
	11:48am Montmaster J: @Frank....yeah...@Handy...we enjoyed Sound of Metal also.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's ...The BEAGLES !
	11:49am Listener Baby: Whoa!
	11:49am Dennis Diken: The Jackie & Giants high voice sounded a lot like the guy from The Newbeats
	11:49am phat in Lincoln: The Beagles' drummer is pretty damn good. Lol. They could use some vocal phrasing tips. Relax guys!
	11:49am Spinning Giant: Bonjour Michael et toutes mes amis!
	11:50am JohnEBGood: Hey Handy, did you see the cat at last night's Rockies game? Now that's a character!!
	11:50am Listener Baby: The joys of bad unison.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: And their smash-hit albums "Feed the Beagles" and "Sit!"!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if Jackie & the Giants was timed with the Jack the Giant Killer film - a great sub-Harryhausen stop motion animation flick.
	11:51am Gf2002: The bass player hit on the wrong chord in the chorus, Macca would not be amused
	11:51am Frank In Queens: @clarke, got 3 in this week. 1984, Bottle Rocket, and Rebecca.
	11:51am Listener Baby: Charlie played the guitar on a really famous country hit. I forget which one.
	11:52am clarke: wow - good ones!!
	11:52am phat in Lincoln: @Handy Haversack I thought they had a hit album, "Yelp!"
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BeagleBlog : blog.wfmu.org...
	11:52am Andres: Good morning, Michael and #1’s! Locally the Blue Jays are having trouble drumming up interest, even amongst loyalists, as they are playing in up to three different stadiums this season, none of them in Canada. Hopefully radio coverage will return in the future.
	11:52am Listener Baby: Think it was a Baby Bare hit
	11:52am clarke: this almost completes your Hitch cycle
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Ha, nice one, phat! The World of Charlie McCoy is not to scale.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Also watched the "Screaming Skull" episode of MST3K, which tied in with Rebecca pretty nicely.
	11:53am clarke: how so? a satire of Rebecca?
	11:54am Frank In Queens: That's all the Hitch I have for now, so yeah. But there's still more I haven't seen in awhile or at all.
	11:54am Frank In Queens: @clarke, it's loosely based on Rebecca, or at least was until they decided to turn it into a horror film at the last minute.
	11:55am phat in Lincoln: What someone needs to do is start a fake Beagles band.
	11:56am JohnEBGood: I just read about phsycobilly for the first time. WTF is that all about?? lol
	11:56am captain mike: Hey Andre you should support the Expos I’m wearing their hat and drinking a Labatt’s mug full of 50 right now waiting for 1:05pm
	11:56am Montmaster J: Wait....is THAT Willie Nelson?!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Most people ask that question JohnEBGood.
	11:57am phat in Lincoln: I wish I new what to call that kind of beat on that Willie Nelson. It's "funky" but really it's not all that funky. It was everywhere. From stuff like that to 70s Broadway.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Damn, I could go for a Labatts 50!
	11:57am Joe B: @Listener Baby - McCoy plays guitar on a few of the Dylan Nashville sessions
	11:58am phat in Lincoln: Holy crap, this Robbie Fulks is like the best of 70s and contemporary country. This is impressive as all hell.
	11:58am Listener Baby: Joe B. Wish I was that good.The Boddy B tune is Detroit City. That famous lick is Charlie.
	11:58am captain mike: Frank it is right delicious Take 5 for 50 Ale!
	11:59am clarke: also Bottle Rocket - ca-caw, ca-cawww!!
	11:59am JohnEBGood: I guess it's PsychoWillie!
	11:59am KWilde: R Fulks such a great vocalist
	12:00pm Listener Baby: 50 years from now, people are going to discover Robbie Fulks.
	12:00pm phat in Lincoln: That chord progression and arrangement in the chorus is definitely post 1990s. But the rest is way 70s. Damn.
	12:01pm Joe B: re bergen white - wow what a career this guy had
	12:02pm Montmaster J: Anyone check out the new Neil Young live album? Pretty extraordinary.....the vocals...wow and the recording is so pristine...
	12:02pm Andres: captain mike: Which game are you talking about? A rebroadcast? Also, I’m out of 50 so may have to settle for a Molson Old Style Pilsner.
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Joe, that brewery across the street from Rutt's had opened, so we stopped in there to use the bathroom and grab some cans to go before heading home yesterday. Took as long to find a parking spot in Greenpoint as it did to drive here from Clifton!
	12:05pm phat in Lincoln: Unky, Phoebe, and Fatty Ann is quite a band name.
	12:05pm Andres: I did see that ‘Tom Brady is bringing back the Expos’ bit and almost blew my top before realizing what day it was.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, yeah. I hadn't seen BR in ages. Still great!
	12:06pm Spinning Giant: @John EB Good & @Andres - first Ive heard here of the cancellation of Blue Jay radio broadcasts - I'm of 2 minds on this: 1. glad to never have to listen to Whiny Mike Wilner (hopefully ever) again; 2. bummed as that is my most enduring connection to ball - listening on the transistor radio, usually while outside working in the yard or whatever, or on a roadtrip somewhere - it seems like alienating traditional enthusiasts a la Metallica is indeed the order of the day ... failing to grasp how that makes sense financially (ostensibly the motivation), but hey, what do I know...?
	12:06pm clarke: how the heck did wes talk caan into being in his film at that time????
	12:06pm Joe B: @Handy - cool. I actually have never gone in there. great seeing you yesterday!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: Baby. Can you tell us what your inspiration/idea was to interview Bergen?
	12:06pm Andres: Bottle Rocket - Maybe more a Wilson brothers film than a Wes Anderson film.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Best party I've been to in well over a year, Joe!
	12:07pm clarke: it IS totally Wes!!!
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, I think the producers were able to make it happen. Gracie Films was heavily involved in the movie's development and release.
	12:07pm Joe B: ha! same!
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speaking of Rockets: Happy 4-3-21 !
	12:07pm captain mike: The Blow Jays are taking on the Yanke$$ but I’m leaving my Expos hat on! Tom Brady April Fool pranked he was bringing back the Expos this week Apparently he tried out for them back in the day JOUER AU BALLON!
	12:08pm dakfinch: gators got your granny
	12:09pm Adammets: @captain - Expos cap might be the only MLB cap with a shoutout to the owner
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ... agin ?!
	12:09pm Frank Zaatar: A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor-totin' woman.
	12:10pm Joe B: The Dodgers used to simulcast the Vin Scully broadcast on the radio. I think it could work with the Mets TV crew. probably SF Giants could do it to with krukow and Kuiper
	12:10pm clarke: i dunno Adammets - the baltimore owner is certainly foul.
	12:11pm Hubig Pie: Poke salat clean you out head to toe, fer sure
	12:12pm Andres: Hey Spinning Giant! Seems mostly a financial decision. I spent most of the last playoff run listening not watching. So yeah sucks.
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great speaking voice alone.
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: I wonder what Bergen White thinks about the shift.
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As George Harrison observed - it was the Limits that spurred the Creativity...
	12:19pm captain mike: Always find Bezball to be berry berry good to me with tv broadcast sound off WFMU on!
	12:20pm common: “Hey man, that’s an English horn, man”. So good
	12:21pm phat in Lincoln: My God what a great interview already.
	12:22pm Mike Sin: Such a great interview with someone I don’t know much about! Excellent. I’m really enjoying it.
	12:22pm clarke: a couple of those Jalopy 5 originals are great!!
	12:22pm Joe B: This is great.
	12:23pm luka: loving this interview.
	12:25pm dakfinch: killer interview and show
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Righteous indeed.
	12:30pm CalZone!: Super interview! One of the best! Steve Alaimo from Rockin Rochester, NY!
	12:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: Jack, you're on fire today.
	12:31pm Montmaster J: Pros only here....interesting guy and very personable.
	12:32pm CTEmpress: This is all new to me: thanks for the education MS and welcome Bergen White!
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: I think Bergen's admiration of efficiency shows he's up on Sabermetrics, Jack. Amazing story.
	12:42pm Dano59: is there a Cubs game today? I might as well be on a desert island.
	12:43pm Dano59: I play by the number system. The key of 5 is my new favorite.
	12:44pm paul: Pirates at Cubs, 2:20 central
	12:44pm Dano59: excellent @paul, thanks!
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: 2:20 Eastern, I think. 1:20 CT.
	12:44pm paul: yw
	12:45pm paul: I think Handy is right.
	12:46pm StringOFperils: Not clear how that's easier, or all that different, from working with standard notation/nomenclature...but...whatever.
	12:48pm Frank Zaatar: Didn't Arnold Schoenberg learn the number system in Nashville?
	12:51pm StringOFperils: Yup, while working as one of George Jones arrangers, during periods of serial drinking.
	12:52pm jmd: Terrific show, thanks Michael.
	12:53pm Alicja Uleshuh: This interview is great!
	12:53pm Chop Scott: Fantastic interview--thanks Michael!
	12:53pm Muswell Hillbilly: I know Michael's saving his movie-talk for next week, but speaking of country music... last night I watched Heartworn Highways (for the second time!) from the FMU On-Demand site. If y'all haven't gotten to it yet, big recommend!
	12:54pm spodiodi: great show & interview, Michael Shelley! thank you! thank you too, Ruth Booth and Skeleton Crew
	12:54pm clarke: good stuff, baby!!! all associates are pleased.
	12:55pm StringOFperils: Mr. White is incredibly generous in this interview. Fascinating stuff.

	11:31am Dano59: Well, Michael, it seems you've embraced the rabbithole approach to radio programming. Good on you!
	11:32am MFlynn: Thanks Michael!! Thoroughly enjoying today’s Bergen White selections!
	11:33am Frank In Queens: Yay!
	11:33am spodiodi: conrgrats, M$!
	11:33am Handy Haversack: Yay, congrats, Michael! My second shot in Monday morning!
	11:33am Muswell Hillbilly: Congrats on the vax!
	11:34am Baja Joe: Hidey Ho Michael and everyone! Congrats on your double shot vaccination and haircut. I have the same, vaccine and long overdo haircut.
	11:35am MFlynn: Good for you Michael! Unfortunately no shots yet in PA for those under 65. Great state huh?
	11:35am Joe B: baseball Altamont!
	11:36am Frank In Queens: I"m all in favor of getting rid of the stupid shift!
	11:36am clarke: these rules have been in use in college ball for a while (except for the shift part)
	11:36am myron feld: I like none of these rule changes.
	11:36am P-90: “SOMETHING had to go...” I hear you, Michael.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that extra innings rule is terrible. And restricting the shift is just idiotic. Not good to sacrifice strategy for the most marginal possible gains in terms of time. Make games shorter by limiting commercials.
	11:37am Joe B: I love the shift. If hitters are dumb enough/stubborn enough to not adjust, that should be there problem
	11:37am Adammets: The minor leagues used to have 7 inning double headers a long time ago. The MLB changes are purely for COVID and will go back after COVID has passed.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sports blah blah when you put the antifreeze in the gas tank of the jockstrap hypotenuse of the Sportsball Sports blah blah...
	11:38am myron feld: exactly, Joe B. Don't try to pull every pitch. Try going the other way. It can work.
	11:38am clarke: while i don't like the shift, joe's right - if you can't show you can beat the shift, then use it!
	11:38am Handy Haversack: Adammets, I hope you're right but really don't think so. MLB has revealed itself. Love the game. Hate the league.
	11:38am Michael in Montclair: If you want to speed up the game of baseball, look no further than the late George Carlin's proposed rules, such as one strike and you're out.
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: MLB is hoping to attract new fans by pissing off all of their existing fans, aka "The Metallica Model"
	11:39am Joe B: baseball takes too long because batters step out after every pitch and spend 5 minutes adjusting their 12 pieces of body armor
	11:39am Listener Baby: Always good for reminding us how great The Beach Boys were.
	11:40am Doug in JC: I like my sports on a low hum in the next room with a snoring grandpa
	11:40am Dennis Diken: “no one’s pitchin’ ‘cause there ain’t no batters”
	11:40am JohnEBGood: No problem with the shift. Don't like the xtra inning rule. Toronto just eliminated their radio broadcast. Getty Lee just spoke up on this! Imagine getting rid of John and Susan?
	11:40am Montmaster J: Mets Covid related cancellation of opener was so this year....sigh.
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Pretty much how I grew up, Doug!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, and so Mets!
	11:41am TimG: WELL, Michael....while I agree some of the new rules are bunk (Senior Softball Rules...7 innings/runner at second). Baseball has become a home run or strike out affair. I love baseball as much as music but when the ball is not hit in play...the game becomes tedious. The shift has killed the idea of single, sacrifice, bunt, hit and run et al. I rest my case, your honor.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Greg, MLB just needs some fresh characters with an edgy, in-your-face attitude. Maybe ... a dog ... with a surf board? That feels right!
	11:42am Montmaster J: @Frank....yup....still love 'em though!
	11:42am Doug in JC: @Handy "I wasn't sleeping"
	11:42am Frank In Queens: @TimG well said.
	11:43am jake6573: The Alabama Wild Man is Right ! Love Jerry Reed
	11:43am Michael Shelley: Joe B - and spitting!
	11:43am Dennis Diken: I was “very, very hurt” by the sharp corners on that Jalopy Five track! Very entertaining!!
	11:43am Joe B: the shift didn't kill those things.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, yep. At least there's genuine optimism for this year.
	11:43am Michael in Montclair: Congratulations Michael on the 2nd vax shot!
	11:44am Joe B: @Michael - ha yes!
	11:44am Gf2002: My interest in baseball went on hiatus after the Phillies started to suck again.
	11:44am Listener Baby: Michael in Mont. They call him Baby Two Times.
	11:44am Hoboken Jack: I don't care for the extra inning and doubleheader rules but they did help last year when there were so many cancelations and resultant doubleheaders.
	11:44am JohnEBGood: I agree with Joe B. Laying down a a bunt is a way to make the shift pay.
	11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: @Handy: Can we rasta-fy MLB by 10%? In movie news, I watched Mank and then the next day I watched Mank again, because this is America and I can watch Mank as many times as I want. Also Judas & The Black Messiah deserves a dumptruck full of Academy Awards. Lakeith is so good that I actually worry about him. His level of vulnerability is in the Heath Ledger/Philip Seymour Hoffman zone.
	11:45am Montmaster J: @Frank Absolutely....Uncle Steve and Lindor bring new hope....I was not pleased by the new addition to the board though...gave me pause ;(
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Is "Wise Like Soloman" on that album a deliciously clever pun or a deliciously ironic spelling error?
	11:45am paul: Look at those cute cats! :)
	11:46am Hoboken Jack: The only rule change that really upsets me is now you only have to tie The Freeze.
	11:46am paul: Honey
	11:46am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, I had to look up to see what you were talking about. That does indeed suck.
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Personally, I'm looking forward to Sparky kicking the shit out of Gritty tonight.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Once we figured out what was really going on with Kate's asking to watch "Heavy Metal," we watched "The Sound of Metal" last night. Quite good.
	11:48am spodiodi: second time i've heard as much here, Handy. i should check it out
	11:48am clarke: MovieTime, frank?
	11:48am Greg from ZONE 5: @Jack: LOL
	11:48am Montmaster J: @Frank....yeah...@Handy...we enjoyed Sound of Metal also.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's ...The BEAGLES !
	11:49am Listener Baby: Whoa!
	11:49am Dennis Diken: The Jackie & Giants high voice sounded a lot like the guy from The Newbeats
	11:49am phat in Lincoln: The Beagles' drummer is pretty damn good. Lol. They could use some vocal phrasing tips. Relax guys!
	11:49am Spinning Giant: Bonjour Michael et toutes mes amis!
	11:50am JohnEBGood: Hey Handy, did you see the cat at last night's Rockies game? Now that's a character!!
	11:50am Listener Baby: The joys of bad unison.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: And their smash-hit albums "Feed the Beagles" and "Sit!"!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if Jackie & the Giants was timed with the Jack the Giant Killer film - a great sub-Harryhausen stop motion animation flick.
	11:51am Gf2002: The bass player hit on the wrong chord in the chorus, Macca would not be amused
	11:51am Frank In Queens: @clarke, got 3 in this week. 1984, Bottle Rocket, and Rebecca.
	11:51am Listener Baby: Charlie played the guitar on a really famous country hit. I forget which one.
	11:52am clarke: wow - good ones!!
	11:52am phat in Lincoln: @Handy Haversack I thought they had a hit album, "Yelp!"
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BeagleBlog : blog.wfmu.org...
	11:52am Andres: Good morning, Michael and #1’s! Locally the Blue Jays are having trouble drumming up interest, even amongst loyalists, as they are playing in up to three different stadiums this season, none of them in Canada. Hopefully radio coverage will return in the future.
	11:52am Listener Baby: Think it was a Baby Bare hit
	11:52am clarke: this almost completes your Hitch cycle
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Ha, nice one, phat! The World of Charlie McCoy is not to scale.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Also watched the "Screaming Skull" episode of MST3K, which tied in with Rebecca pretty nicely.
	11:53am clarke: how so? a satire of Rebecca?
	11:54am Frank In Queens: That's all the Hitch I have for now, so yeah. But there's still more I haven't seen in awhile or at all.
	11:54am Frank In Queens: @clarke, it's loosely based on Rebecca, or at least was until they decided to turn it into a horror film at the last minute.
	11:55am phat in Lincoln: What someone needs to do is start a fake Beagles band.
	11:56am JohnEBGood: I just read about phsycobilly for the first time. WTF is that all about?? lol
	11:56am captain mike: Hey Andre you should support the Expos I’m wearing their hat and drinking a Labatt’s mug full of 50 right now waiting for 1:05pm
	11:56am Montmaster J: Wait....is THAT Willie Nelson?!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Most people ask that question JohnEBGood.
	11:57am phat in Lincoln: I wish I new what to call that kind of beat on that Willie Nelson. It's "funky" but really it's not all that funky. It was everywhere. From stuff like that to 70s Broadway.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Damn, I could go for a Labatts 50!
	11:57am Joe B: @Listener Baby - McCoy plays guitar on a few of the Dylan Nashville sessions
	11:58am phat in Lincoln: Holy crap, this Robbie Fulks is like the best of 70s and contemporary country. This is impressive as all hell.
	11:58am Listener Baby: Joe B. Wish I was that good.The Boddy B tune is Detroit City. That famous lick is Charlie.
	11:58am captain mike: Frank it is right delicious Take 5 for 50 Ale!
	11:59am clarke: also Bottle Rocket - ca-caw, ca-cawww!!
	11:59am JohnEBGood: I guess it's PsychoWillie!
	11:59am KWilde: R Fulks such a great vocalist
	12:00pm Listener Baby: 50 years from now, people are going to discover Robbie Fulks.
	12:00pm phat in Lincoln: That chord progression and arrangement in the chorus is definitely post 1990s. But the rest is way 70s. Damn.
	12:01pm Joe B: re bergen white - wow what a career this guy had
	12:02pm Montmaster J: Anyone check out the new Neil Young live album? Pretty extraordinary.....the vocals...wow and the recording is so pristine...
	12:02pm Andres: captain mike: Which game are you talking about? A rebroadcast? Also, I’m out of 50 so may have to settle for a Molson Old Style Pilsner.
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Joe, that brewery across the street from Rutt's had opened, so we stopped in there to use the bathroom and grab some cans to go before heading home yesterday. Took as long to find a parking spot in Greenpoint as it did to drive here from Clifton!
	12:05pm phat in Lincoln: Unky, Phoebe, and Fatty Ann is quite a band name.
	12:05pm Andres: I did see that ‘Tom Brady is bringing back the Expos’ bit and almost blew my top before realizing what day it was.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, yeah. I hadn't seen BR in ages. Still great!
	12:06pm Spinning Giant: @John EB Good & @Andres - first Ive heard here of the cancellation of Blue Jay radio broadcasts - I'm of 2 minds on this: 1. glad to never have to listen to Whiny Mike Wilner (hopefully ever) again; 2. bummed as that is my most enduring connection to ball - listening on the transistor radio, usually while outside working in the yard or whatever, or on a roadtrip somewhere - it seems like alienating traditional enthusiasts a la Metallica is indeed the order of the day ... failing to grasp how that makes sense financially (ostensibly the motivation), but hey, what do I know...?
	12:06pm clarke: how the heck did wes talk caan into being in his film at that time????
	12:06pm Joe B: @Handy - cool. I actually have never gone in there. great seeing you yesterday!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: Baby. Can you tell us what your inspiration/idea was to interview Bergen?
	12:06pm Andres: Bottle Rocket - Maybe more a Wilson brothers film than a Wes Anderson film.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Best party I've been to in well over a year, Joe!
	12:07pm clarke: it IS totally Wes!!!
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, I think the producers were able to make it happen. Gracie Films was heavily involved in the movie's development and release.
	12:07pm Joe B: ha! same!
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speaking of Rockets: Happy 4-3-21 !
	12:07pm captain mike: The Blow Jays are taking on the Yanke$$ but I’m leaving my Expos hat on! Tom Brady April Fool pranked he was bringing back the Expos this week Apparently he tried out for them back in the day JOUER AU BALLON!
	12:08pm dakfinch: gators got your granny
	12:09pm Adammets: @captain - Expos cap might be the only MLB cap with a shoutout to the owner
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ... agin ?!
	12:09pm Frank Zaatar: A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor-totin' woman.
	12:10pm Joe B: The Dodgers used to simulcast the Vin Scully broadcast on the radio. I think it could work with the Mets TV crew. probably SF Giants could do it to with krukow and Kuiper
	12:10pm clarke: i dunno Adammets - the baltimore owner is certainly foul.
	12:11pm Hubig Pie: Poke salat clean you out head to toe, fer sure
	12:12pm Andres: Hey Spinning Giant! Seems mostly a financial decision. I spent most of the last playoff run listening not watching. So yeah sucks.
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great speaking voice alone.
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: I wonder what Bergen White thinks about the shift.
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As George Harrison observed - it was the Limits that spurred the Creativity...
	12:19pm captain mike: Always find Bezball to be berry berry good to me with tv broadcast sound off WFMU on!
	12:20pm common: “Hey man, that’s an English horn, man”. So good
	12:21pm phat in Lincoln: My God what a great interview already.
	12:22pm Mike Sin: Such a great interview with someone I don’t know much about! Excellent. I’m really enjoying it.
	12:22pm clarke: a couple of those Jalopy 5 originals are great!!
	12:22pm Joe B: This is great.
	12:23pm luka: loving this interview.
	12:25pm dakfinch: killer interview and show
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Righteous indeed.
	12:30pm CalZone!: Super interview! One of the best! Steve Alaimo from Rockin Rochester, NY!
	12:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: Jack, you're on fire today.
