	12:10pm Son Of Pantz: matt berry does have a pretty incredible mane. I don't blame him for saying don't touch my hair.
	12:10pm Jameson57: FYI: Frosty the Snowman is not a Christmas song. It is just a song about a snowman.
	12:11pm ciaobella: Great hear some Matt Berry on WFMU
	12:12pm Pseu Braun: Matt Berry paid a handsome fee
	12:13pm Pseu Braun: Hello Friends and other strange ones.
	12:14pm Son Of Pantz: www.youtube.com... Here's some of Matt Berry's best comedy IMO
	12:14pm egould310: Hi Pseu. Dig this Charlie Hickey.
	12:18pm karlward: Let's say I wanted to deep dive into Doug Gillard. Where would I start? (Aside from the GBV stuff)
	12:19pm annette: does Charley have a Hickey ? really ?
	12:19pm Hydroplane: Cobra Verde?
	12:20pm david_r: @karlward: Gillard had a side project called Gem that made a record called "Hexed" that I liked a lot. He wasn't in Cobra Verde, that was John Petkovic, also of Death Of Samantha.
	12:21pm Andres: Hi, Pseu! Afternoon, all! Friends of Tim Hortons, where do you stand on Timbiebs?
	12:21pm david_r: Definitely start with Death of Samantha, can't believe I forgot them. All those records are great.
	12:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: strange one reporting for doodie.
	12:22pm royvis: Good afternoon Pseu, and fellow listeners!
	12:23pm Hydroplane: @david_r Doug was definitely in Cobra Verde
	12:23pm Andres: GBV playing nearby next week. Not a fave venue but crowd hesitancy is the thing holding me back.
	12:23pm david_r: sorry, I'm wrong. Gillard spent at least some time in CV.
	12:24pm Pseu Braun: Andres thanks for mentioning TimBiebs. I'm, uhm...not rilly down but whatever gets them more outlets in NJ maybe??
	12:25pm Juli: I would like this song if it were totally different sorry The style is so bothersome to me like overly happy and overt ins't my vibe in this indie thing...or is it suppose to be annoying? I don't get it
	12:26pm Juli: I guess I just like things that arent like in your face sing songy
	12:26pm chris_in_space: I'm guessing you're talking about the GbV Toronto gig. I have the same thoughts, either way. Least favourite venue in town.
	12:26pm Juli: Sorry Cliff you are prolly nice
	12:27pm karlward: Take that teens
	12:27pm karlward: Pseu do you have an overwhelming urge to watch Total Request Live?
	12:28pm Stevel: Pimples: A continuing reminder of the horrors of youth.
	12:28pm ifeelfatnsassy: oh no mascne
	12:28pm Andres: Pimples DTF. Band name.
	12:29pm pseu: my sympathies Pseau...my 86 yo mother occasionally gets them...so age sometimes doesn't have anything to do with it...
	12:29pm ZACH ALL CAPS: Check please
	12:29pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): The parable of the zit...
	12:29pm Jameson57: People look better with masks anyway. Maybe it is time for a new mask.
	12:29pm Doobois: AN OAK BARREL
	12:29pm Krys O.: Narrator: Acne can occur even in one's 60s and 70s.
	12:29pm Stevel: Andres: First album: Raging Eruption
	12:30pm SeanG: love me some pimples
	12:30pm rsj: to his credit, kenny g never went there
	12:30pm Listener Robert: If it's a whitehead, I used to pull those out intact. The skin around it has to swell a little.
	12:30pm Krys O.: Pimple-mousse.
	12:31pm Andres: Stevel: First single?
	12:31pm Jameson57: This story is kinda like Ken's NJ Travelogue. Both are tasty delights.
	12:32pm Fuzzy: Whaddaya tryna do, make me sick?
	12:33pm Corey: Doug Gillard one of the best guitarist in rock music hands down
	12:34pm Andres: Pseu, I bought them for my kid and their friend. They spent a half hour dissecting what the flavours were and coming to the conclusion of Meh. Ebay tells me the empty box is worth $50.
	12:36pm Jameson57: Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol is a must-see seasonal treat.
	12:39pm Andres: chris_in_space: I've seen some good shows there despite the crappy room and the 'no encore because the club kids are lined up outside waiting for their shift' booking policy. The indecision must be getting to everyone because that show should've been sold out back in the summer.
	12:50pm Pseu Braun: ABBA christmas schlock brought to you by listener JULI, you're welcome.
	12:51pm Jameson57: A Chtistmas song!
	12:52pm david_r: I guess this is the only time and place anyone would be interested to know I have seen Doug Gillard play live just once, and it was with a GBV tribute band. I've never seen GBV, so I don't know if they were a good tribute but it sounded right. They had an energetic fake Pollard as I recall.
	12:52pm Andres: That was within the zone. Nice.
	12:52pm karlward: david_r: maybe there is more than just one Pollard. Maybe you saw the real thing. This could explain a lot.
	12:52pm Listener Robert: The whitehead would pull out intact in its own capsule like a seed that had its wide part breaking the surface of the skin. Frequently it helped to prepare the skin by causing it to swell a bit by using soap. What people perceive as "drying" of skin by soap is actually a mild inflammation. I would deliberately produce that by applying a paste of Ivory Snow (when that was actual soap powder) with a small amount of water and leaving it on longer than would be needed to wash with it before rinsing it off. When the skin was dry later, sometimes after a bit of a lag or two such treatments spaced in time, it might be slightly reddened, but the whitehead would stick out more prominently as the swollen skin pulled away from it. Alternative preparations to Ivory Snow were a thick lather of Ivory soap or a thin smear of hand dish detergent or shampoo.
	12:52pm JayCee: Hey Pseu, I love your show, quirky and unique just how I like it. Peace girlfriend✌ I also love the dream Syndicate way back since early 80s
	12:53pm Krys O.: xxxooo to you, Pseu!
	12:53pm UFOspecialist: that's a lot to read
	12:54pm chris_in_space: @Andres, at the best of times, the security at that venue is Gestapo-like. I can't imagine how they'll feel emboldened in this new age of security.
	12:56pm Stevel: Andres: Poppin’ Off
	12:56pm Listener Robert: The advantage of pulling out the whitehead intact is that that maintains the isolation your skin has produced between the bacteria-filled pus and the rest of your skin and its oil glands.
	12:57pm Mister Dobalina: The new bass player is called, Thank You Jesus?`
	12:57pm Fishtown Mike: GBV tribute band doesn't seem like it should be a thing. They're still touring pretty regularly. @Karlward, the twin Pollard theory would indeed explain much.
	12:57pm The Donut King: Thunderbird.
	12:58pm Krys O.: Jackie!!!!!
	12:59pm Jameson57: any more pimple info would be much depreciated.
	1:00pm Andres: That Jackie DeShannon was great!!
	1:01pm Pseu Braun: david_r LOL GBV cover band with Doug Gillard. Wow, you musta been pretty high
	1:02pm Chop Scott: Good Afternoon Pseu!
	1:02pm Andres: Stevel: Nailed it. I hope you manage the band.
	1:03pm herb.nyc: Just tuned in. Did Pseu say she saw los lemon twigs last night? Clay P gave out tix for their show (Wednesday?) earleir. And TMBG were interviewed on wnyc last wk. they said wnyc was their fav station. Huh?
	1:04pm Stevel: Andres: [beaming with pride]
	1:11pm Krys O.: @herb.nyc: TMBD have moved on, I guess. Back in the day, they were on heavy rotation on WoofMoo and BFFs with the late Frank O'Toole. Heck, I used to play them obsessively on my show then too. Oh, well.
	1:12pm rsj: unrecognizable cover, wait is this some kind of taliban message?
	1:14pm Alexandra: Murad acne stuff is the only thing that works for me
	1:17pm Ike: Smells like a “cartoon paradise”, LOL!
	1:18pm Krys O.: I'm cracking up here at my desk. I adore you, Pseu. You talk about the TRUTH!
	1:18pm herb.nyc: Pseu said Genesis. Friend saw their msg show earlier this week. Loved it. Pseu’s promotional enhancement for Glade is fascinating!
	1:18pm Mister Dobalina: Any of those plug in air 'freshners' are the absolute worse! Same with scented candles, can't stand that stuff. I don't want my place to smell like Yankee Candle at the mall. Ugh.
	1:18pm Krys O.: Individual spliffs?
	1:18pm PeggyO: What's that music you're playing in the background while you talk about zits and your stinky house?
	1:19pm egould310: You’re cracking me up, Pseu.
	1:19pm eva: f’n glade! throw it out.
	1:20pm Ike: I like plain Lysol if I can find it. Not lemon. Not rain scent. Just plain. Wait, do they still make it plain? Last time I had to get the rain scent. It’s the second-least offensive.
	1:21pm Andres: The air freshener smells the way Hawaiian Punch looks.
	1:22pm Alexandra: I have a “turntable” air freshener in my car’s air vents. It’s stupid. You just dab essential oil on the little foam thing. They haven’t made it for in home use yet though.
	1:22pm Listener Robert: Ike, can you even GET plain Lysol in the brown glass bottle any more?
	1:22pm Krys O.: My downstairs neighbor uses some sort of fragrance that smells like body odor. The stench is awful and living in a 100+ year old house, the scent wafts up to my apartment. This happened on Saturday morning and I had to turn on the kitchen wall vent and take out the Mrs. Meyer's candle, but I discovered that I had no matches, not even a piece of spaghetti to light from a stove burner. Luckily, the candle scent was strong enough without being lit. Phew.
	1:22pm Fuzzy: Try the patchouli
	1:23pm Fishtown Mike: @Herb, I was wondering exactly the same thing. Great minds think alike I guess.
	1:24pm herb.nyc: Spk’ng of smells, I often think of George Carline’s “y’ever notice how yr own farts don’t smell so bad?”.
	1:24pm Krys O.: Patchouli is like nerve gas to my lungs. It's lethal and I hate it.
	1:25pm Fuzzy: Incense and peppermints, then
	1:25pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What about Old Spice?
	1:26pm Pseu Braun: PeggyO Ken Griffin skating time
	1:26pm Mister Dobalina: Between patchouli & sandalwood, the hate is strong!
	1:26pm david_r: I know patchouli is often disliked due to its connotations, but I think it smells good.
	1:26pm Fuzzy: Ben Gay might work in a pinch.
	1:26pm egould310: Good snarls tune. Lots of sustain on those guitars. Pretty vocals.
	1:27pm Listener Robert: I like how Ms. Braun pronounced "Mark Hurst" to sound a little like "mar-cursed". Like he's cursed by the world's imperfections.
	1:27pm Fishtown Mike: Patchouli...jesus what a reek. Goddam dirty hippies using it to hide the BO & weed funk.
	1:27pm david_r: Also, this GBV tribute band thing really happened! It was at Don Pedro in Brooklyn. There is no internet evidence of it though.
	1:27pm Krys O.: Seriously, patchouli is dangerous to people with asthma like me.
	1:29pm Fuzzy: I was kidding about the patchouli (never used it myself) -- I thought all the hippies were using vegan cruelty-free cedar-scented deodorants these days.
	1:31pm Ike: Brown glass bottle?!? I’m not THAT old. Oops, I meant “crisp linen”, not rain scent. Whatever. Far less offensive than most of the alternatives.
	1:31pm Alexandra: Ok — what’s the worst smell you’ve ever smelled? I used to have a roommate who literally NEVER once in the six months that I lived with him cleaned his cat’s litter box. The cat eventually gave up and just used our cat’s litter box upstairs. I would buy and replace his cat’s litter box every few months and every time the ammonia would make me cry and gag. Second closest worst smell is at the Bunny Museum in Pasadena. Old litter box smell with… like the smell of dust if that makes sense? Clean your litter boxes people!
	1:32pm Fuzzy: That's animal cruelty right there.
	1:32pm The Donut King: Love that David Myhr. He partner in the Merrymakers - Anders Hellgren - was working on a record that I heard bit and pieces of and thought was great. A very similar kind of thing. Wish he'd get it done...
	1:33pm Mister Dobalina: Same experience with cat poo & pee, went to go cat sit for a friend of a friend & the odor was so bad it would burn my nose. Gross.
	1:34pm Krys O.: I agree with Fuzzy. That's awful, Alexandra.
	1:35pm PeggyO: @herb.nyc I don't think he believed that. George was a comedian. He was making a joke.
	1:36pm Listener Robert: Alexandra, that would be pyridine, which I was using in electrophoresis buffer. But I was told the related lutidine is worse.
	1:36pm LMPnCHI: Oh Pseu! The answer to your group weed dilemma is not just pre-rolls but EDIBLES! Get into it!
	1:37pm Mister Dobalina: Not enough Crocs talk on this show.
	1:37pm Alexandra: I talked to him about it and he gave some health reason for not cleaning it and I was like maybe you shouldn’t have a cat then? Obviously that relationship soured but I know through mutual friends that the cat is still alive and well. Probably some new schmuck moved in and is taking care of it now.
	1:37pm Pseu Braun: The Textbook Committee was the gbv cover band evidently
	1:38pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Thundercalp! (I think I'm still a little loopy from the booster on Monday)
	1:39pm Fuzzy: Edibles aren't effective for everyone (me, for instance) -- they can be metabolized too quickly before the THC gets through to the brain, or something like that. A good old-fashioned bong and some alcohol wipes between hits -- that's the ticket.
	1:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Mister Dobalina: I'm wearing my old blue worn out Crocs. Almost no tread on the bottom.
	1:44pm Andres: There was a shortcut through an alley that had a lot of restaurant dumpsters in it. All the juices from these dumpsters flowed to the gutter sewer drain where they combined to form the worst smell ever especially on a hot summer day.
	1:47pm Alexandra: Oh yeah hot day food trash is definitely top ten worst Andres
	1:54pm joe mulligan: don't get me started on back alley food trash runoff. nothing worse than the rotting quinoa and days old unwanted salad stuff from a Sweetgreen
	2:00pm egould310: Jangle jangle jangle!
	2:01pm Feldy: "One minute past the hour, 59 minutes to the top of the hour"
	2:02pm Barney Grubbs: Alexandra, I only learned about the Bunny Museum last time I visited my folks and we got pizza kitty corner at the excellent Side Pie pizza. Now I won't be in a rush to go inside.
	2:02pm Lixiviated Life: its eastern DAYLIGHT SAVINGS time
	2:03pm Feldy: I like Thundercarp
	2:04pm Morgan: great show Pseu
	2:04pm TVP: But Bruce McCulloch is still fine, right?
	2:05pm I k e: Only one “saving”. You only “save” that hour once a year, so it’s Daylight Saving Time, not Savings. (Actually IDK why, I’m just making up that reason.) Oh and DST isn’t now.
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Thundercarp, the movie they play before Sharknado.
	2:05pm eva: edibles. we were high for two days. they were these little homemade cookies. roll individual joints for guests. they look pretty in a festive holiday bowl.
	2:05pm prof.fuzz: Mask up! Rock out! Buy merch! :)
	2:05pm Son Of Pantz: I saw Big Thief not long ago. Great show!
	2:07pm Morgan: my brother used to show me all the Paul is Dead clues when i was little. i was scared of zombie Paul McCartney
	2:07pm WO Town Wick: Pseu, But I DO need EFD's "stinking" lists each year-end!!!
	2:09pm Krys O.: Whatever disposable income I have goes into supporting WFMU, where the deejays go to awesome shows that I can't afford to go to and I LOVE THAT. I will live vicariously this way. <3
	2:10pm Morgan: my estate
	2:10pm YEOW.: I love Pseu's honesty if nothing else. It's why I listen and shall donate my entire estate.
	2:12pm Eeeeeek: Warning: Boiling hot take: is there a way I can hear all those best new songs without Pidge’s incessant bright chirping?! (Songs are chosen by Matt Garbage BTW, they can’t let Pidge pick or it’d all be Boston, Bieber, and Starcastle.) Do NOT try to make me less cranky in the morning like yer the Today show or something!
	2:13pm Mister Dobalina: Hotel, motel...Holiday Inn.
	2:14pm Andres: Clark, that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.
	2:15pm Lixiviated Life: @ I k e Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care about time?
	2:17pm Yes: thanks, pseu -- enjoying all the tunes
	2:19pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): As usual, great show. I have a meeting in 10 minutes. Yuk.
	2:20pm rich the greeb: I love this easy love song ❤️
	2:20pm rich the greeb: Hello Pseu and fellow hookers!!
	2:23pm Jameson57: And Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.
	2:24pm Mister Dobalina: Gotta cheese it now. Good stuff as always, Pseu. & may your weekend wingding be a smashing success.
	2:25pm rich the greeb: Yayyyy Lindsey time!!
	2:26pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Clay's chirping got me through the pandemic. Along with Pseu's grumbling and Fabio's fretting.
	2:26pm I k e: @Lixy, I only care about time because it tells me what show is on now on FMU's main channel or the alternate streams. Friday? Bryce is on! Wednesday? Gary's Bodega Pop and If You Lose Your Horse are on the Give the Drummer stream! Sunday evening? Uhh... wait, what's the Sunday evening lineup changed to now?!
	2:26pm Morgan: just 2¢ I wouldn’t use commercial edibles or prerolls if you can help it. theres some very shady business going on with labeling in the recreational/medical cannabis market right now. nothing dangerous, just stale product, food-sourced terpenes. roll/bake your own if you can
	2:28pm Jameson57: Jack Reacher always knows the time and he never wears a watch.
	2:29pm YEOW.: Ha! You are priceless Pseu.
	2:30pm Morgan: is this the mighty wurlitzer
	2:31pm Morgan: mm a little botulism
	2:31pm I k e: ROTFL!
	2:31pm DK: Home canners live on the edge!
	2:32pm YEOW.: Canning tips too! GO PSEU!
	2:32pm Jameson57: The escaping gas from those cans are indeed deadly.
	2:32pm Son Of Pantz: Fabio shouldn't be showing off his can in public!
	2:32pm Joao: Hope Fabio is alright! Pseu you're great! very funny!
	2:32pm Jameson57: ...from anyone's can for that matter.
	2:34pm Fox: (Belated comment because I was walking around listening with headphones and then my phone died) I TRIED! I'm just a mess of migraine mind.
	2:34pm Morgan: good psa, pseu. people don’t talk about the explosive decompression accidents that happen every pickling and canning season
	2:36pm Morgan: americas delicious silent killer
	2:37pm Jameson57: who is in more danger, the canner or the canee?
	2:39pm Son Of Pantz: DO not ask for whom the can boils. The can boils for thee.
	2:40pm Fishtown Mike: To be fair, my sister-in-law almost died from eating bad canned beets. Which BTW would be one of the most ridiculous ways of getting your ticket punched. Tainted beets, followed closely by backed over by a garbage truck.
	2:40pm biomurph: That VU cover kicked my butt!
	2:43pm Morgan: Fox
	2:45pm eva: great show! glade on!
	2:51pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu! Be well and have a great weekend!
	2:55pm vinylmonkee: Thanks Pseu!
	2:56pm Andres: Thank you, Pseu!! Nice penultimate closer that there!
	2:57pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, Pseu! Thanks!
	2:57pm johnk77: great work selecter rachel straight out of akron
	2:58pm HyperDose: Another grand slam! How does she do it every week?
	2:59pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thank you Pseu!
	2:59pm Fox: I liked her on the Comedy Channel.
	3:00pm joe mulligan: Ike I made a playlist of the clay pigeon/matt warwick songlist for ya all Here: open.spotify.com...
	3:00pm KWilde: Adiós!

	12:11pm ciaobella: Great hear some Matt Berry on WFMU
	12:12pm Pseu Braun: Matt Berry paid a handsome fee
	12:13pm Pseu Braun: Hello Friends and other strange ones.
	12:14pm Son Of Pantz: www.youtube.com... Here's some of Matt Berry's best comedy IMO
	12:14pm egould310: Hi Pseu. Dig this Charlie Hickey.
	12:18pm karlward: Let's say I wanted to deep dive into Doug Gillard. Where would I start? (Aside from the GBV stuff)
	12:19pm annette: does Charley have a Hickey ? really ?
	12:19pm Hydroplane: Cobra Verde?
	12:20pm david_r: @karlward: Gillard had a side project called Gem that made a record called "Hexed" that I liked a lot. He wasn't in Cobra Verde, that was John Petkovic, also of Death Of Samantha.
	12:21pm Andres: Hi, Pseu! Afternoon, all! Friends of Tim Hortons, where do you stand on Timbiebs?
	12:21pm david_r: Definitely start with Death of Samantha, can't believe I forgot them. All those records are great.
	12:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: strange one reporting for doodie.
	12:22pm royvis: Good afternoon Pseu, and fellow listeners!
	12:23pm Hydroplane: @david_r Doug was definitely in Cobra Verde
	12:23pm Andres: GBV playing nearby next week. Not a fave venue but crowd hesitancy is the thing holding me back.
	12:23pm david_r: sorry, I'm wrong. Gillard spent at least some time in CV.
	12:24pm Pseu Braun: Andres thanks for mentioning TimBiebs. I'm, uhm...not rilly down but whatever gets them more outlets in NJ maybe??
	12:25pm Juli: I would like this song if it were totally different sorry The style is so bothersome to me like overly happy and overt ins't my vibe in this indie thing...or is it suppose to be annoying? I don't get it
	12:26pm Juli: I guess I just like things that arent like in your face sing songy
	12:26pm chris_in_space: I'm guessing you're talking about the GbV Toronto gig. I have the same thoughts, either way. Least favourite venue in town.
	12:26pm Juli: Sorry Cliff you are prolly nice
	12:27pm karlward: Take that teens
	12:27pm karlward: Pseu do you have an overwhelming urge to watch Total Request Live?
	12:28pm Stevel: Pimples: A continuing reminder of the horrors of youth.
	12:28pm ifeelfatnsassy: oh no mascne
	12:28pm Andres: Pimples DTF. Band name.
	12:29pm pseu: my sympathies Pseau...my 86 yo mother occasionally gets them...so age sometimes doesn't have anything to do with it...
	12:29pm ZACH ALL CAPS: Check please
	12:29pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): The parable of the zit...
	12:29pm Jameson57: People look better with masks anyway. Maybe it is time for a new mask.
	12:29pm Doobois: AN OAK BARREL
	12:29pm Krys O.: Narrator: Acne can occur even in one's 60s and 70s.
	12:29pm Stevel: Andres: First album: Raging Eruption
	12:30pm SeanG: love me some pimples
	12:30pm rsj: to his credit, kenny g never went there
	12:30pm Listener Robert: If it's a whitehead, I used to pull those out intact. The skin around it has to swell a little.
	12:30pm Krys O.: Pimple-mousse.
	12:31pm Andres: Stevel: First single?
	12:31pm Jameson57: This story is kinda like Ken's NJ Travelogue. Both are tasty delights.
	12:32pm Fuzzy: Whaddaya tryna do, make me sick?
	12:33pm Corey: Doug Gillard one of the best guitarist in rock music hands down
	12:34pm Andres: Pseu, I bought them for my kid and their friend. They spent a half hour dissecting what the flavours were and coming to the conclusion of Meh. Ebay tells me the empty box is worth $50.
	12:36pm Jameson57: Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol is a must-see seasonal treat.
	12:39pm Andres: chris_in_space: I've seen some good shows there despite the crappy room and the 'no encore because the club kids are lined up outside waiting for their shift' booking policy. The indecision must be getting to everyone because that show should've been sold out back in the summer.
	12:50pm Pseu Braun: ABBA christmas schlock brought to you by listener JULI, you're welcome.
	12:51pm Jameson57: A Chtistmas song!
	12:52pm david_r: I guess this is the only time and place anyone would be interested to know I have seen Doug Gillard play live just once, and it was with a GBV tribute band. I've never seen GBV, so I don't know if they were a good tribute but it sounded right. They had an energetic fake Pollard as I recall.
	12:52pm Andres: That was within the zone. Nice.
	12:52pm karlward: david_r: maybe there is more than just one Pollard. Maybe you saw the real thing. This could explain a lot.
	12:52pm Listener Robert: The whitehead would pull out intact in its own capsule like a seed that had its wide part breaking the surface of the skin. Frequently it helped to prepare the skin by causing it to swell a bit by using soap. What people perceive as "drying" of skin by soap is actually a mild inflammation. I would deliberately produce that by applying a paste of Ivory Snow (when that was actual soap powder) with a small amount of water and leaving it on longer than would be needed to wash with it before rinsing it off. When the skin was dry later, sometimes after a bit of a lag or two such treatments spaced in time, it might be slightly reddened, but the whitehead would stick out more prominently as the swollen skin pulled away from it. Alternative preparations to Ivory Snow were a thick lather of Ivory soap or a thin smear of hand dish detergent or shampoo.
	12:52pm JayCee: Hey Pseu, I love your show, quirky and unique just how I like it. Peace girlfriend✌ I also love the dream Syndicate way back since early 80s
	12:53pm Krys O.: xxxooo to you, Pseu!
	12:53pm UFOspecialist: that's a lot to read
	12:54pm chris_in_space: @Andres, at the best of times, the security at that venue is Gestapo-like. I can't imagine how they'll feel emboldened in this new age of security.
	12:56pm Stevel: Andres: Poppin’ Off
	12:56pm Listener Robert: The advantage of pulling out the whitehead intact is that that maintains the isolation your skin has produced between the bacteria-filled pus and the rest of your skin and its oil glands.
	12:57pm Mister Dobalina: The new bass player is called, Thank You Jesus?`
	12:57pm Fishtown Mike: GBV tribute band doesn't seem like it should be a thing. They're still touring pretty regularly. @Karlward, the twin Pollard theory would indeed explain much.
	12:57pm The Donut King: Thunderbird.
	12:58pm Krys O.: Jackie!!!!!
	12:59pm Jameson57: any more pimple info would be much depreciated.
	1:00pm Andres: That Jackie DeShannon was great!!
	1:01pm Pseu Braun: david_r LOL GBV cover band with Doug Gillard. Wow, you musta been pretty high
	1:02pm Chop Scott: Good Afternoon Pseu!
	1:02pm Andres: Stevel: Nailed it. I hope you manage the band.
	1:03pm herb.nyc: Just tuned in. Did Pseu say she saw los lemon twigs last night? Clay P gave out tix for their show (Wednesday?) earleir. And TMBG were interviewed on wnyc last wk. they said wnyc was their fav station. Huh?
	1:04pm Stevel: Andres: [beaming with pride]
	1:11pm Krys O.: @herb.nyc: TMBD have moved on, I guess. Back in the day, they were on heavy rotation on WoofMoo and BFFs with the late Frank O'Toole. Heck, I used to play them obsessively on my show then too. Oh, well.
	1:12pm rsj: unrecognizable cover, wait is this some kind of taliban message?
	1:14pm Alexandra: Murad acne stuff is the only thing that works for me
	1:17pm Ike: Smells like a “cartoon paradise”, LOL!
	1:18pm Krys O.: I'm cracking up here at my desk. I adore you, Pseu. You talk about the TRUTH!
	1:18pm herb.nyc: Pseu said Genesis. Friend saw their msg show earlier this week. Loved it. Pseu’s promotional enhancement for Glade is fascinating!
	1:18pm Mister Dobalina: Any of those plug in air 'freshners' are the absolute worse! Same with scented candles, can't stand that stuff. I don't want my place to smell like Yankee Candle at the mall. Ugh.
	1:18pm Krys O.: Individual spliffs?
	1:18pm PeggyO: What's that music you're playing in the background while you talk about zits and your stinky house?
	1:19pm egould310: You’re cracking me up, Pseu.
	1:19pm eva: f’n glade! throw it out.
	1:20pm Ike: I like plain Lysol if I can find it. Not lemon. Not rain scent. Just plain. Wait, do they still make it plain? Last time I had to get the rain scent. It’s the second-least offensive.
	1:21pm Andres: The air freshener smells the way Hawaiian Punch looks.
	1:22pm Alexandra: I have a “turntable” air freshener in my car’s air vents. It’s stupid. You just dab essential oil on the little foam thing. They haven’t made it for in home use yet though.
	1:22pm Listener Robert: Ike, can you even GET plain Lysol in the brown glass bottle any more?
	1:22pm Krys O.: My downstairs neighbor uses some sort of fragrance that smells like body odor. The stench is awful and living in a 100+ year old house, the scent wafts up to my apartment. This happened on Saturday morning and I had to turn on the kitchen wall vent and take out the Mrs. Meyer's candle, but I discovered that I had no matches, not even a piece of spaghetti to light from a stove burner. Luckily, the candle scent was strong enough without being lit. Phew.
	1:22pm Fuzzy: Try the patchouli
	1:23pm Fishtown Mike: @Herb, I was wondering exactly the same thing. Great minds think alike I guess.
	1:24pm herb.nyc: Spk’ng of smells, I often think of George Carline’s “y’ever notice how yr own farts don’t smell so bad?”.
	1:24pm Krys O.: Patchouli is like nerve gas to my lungs. It's lethal and I hate it.
	1:25pm Fuzzy: Incense and peppermints, then
	1:25pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What about Old Spice?
	1:26pm Pseu Braun: PeggyO Ken Griffin skating time
	1:26pm Mister Dobalina: Between patchouli & sandalwood, the hate is strong!
	1:26pm david_r: I know patchouli is often disliked due to its connotations, but I think it smells good.
	1:26pm Fuzzy: Ben Gay might work in a pinch.
	1:26pm egould310: Good snarls tune. Lots of sustain on those guitars. Pretty vocals.
	1:27pm Listener Robert: I like how Ms. Braun pronounced "Mark Hurst" to sound a little like "mar-cursed". Like he's cursed by the world's imperfections.
	1:27pm Fishtown Mike: Patchouli...jesus what a reek. Goddam dirty hippies using it to hide the BO & weed funk.
	1:27pm david_r: Also, this GBV tribute band thing really happened! It was at Don Pedro in Brooklyn. There is no internet evidence of it though.
	1:27pm Krys O.: Seriously, patchouli is dangerous to people with asthma like me.
	1:29pm Fuzzy: I was kidding about the patchouli (never used it myself) -- I thought all the hippies were using vegan cruelty-free cedar-scented deodorants these days.
	1:31pm Ike: Brown glass bottle?!? I’m not THAT old. Oops, I meant “crisp linen”, not rain scent. Whatever. Far less offensive than most of the alternatives.
	1:31pm Alexandra: Ok — what’s the worst smell you’ve ever smelled? I used to have a roommate who literally NEVER once in the six months that I lived with him cleaned his cat’s litter box. The cat eventually gave up and just used our cat’s litter box upstairs. I would buy and replace his cat’s litter box every few months and every time the ammonia would make me cry and gag. Second closest worst smell is at the Bunny Museum in Pasadena. Old litter box smell with… like the smell of dust if that makes sense? Clean your litter boxes people!
	1:32pm Fuzzy: That's animal cruelty right there.
	1:32pm The Donut King: Love that David Myhr. He partner in the Merrymakers - Anders Hellgren - was working on a record that I heard bit and pieces of and thought was great. A very similar kind of thing. Wish he'd get it done...
	1:33pm Mister Dobalina: Same experience with cat poo & pee, went to go cat sit for a friend of a friend & the odor was so bad it would burn my nose. Gross.
	1:34pm Krys O.: I agree with Fuzzy. That's awful, Alexandra.
	1:35pm PeggyO: @herb.nyc I don't think he believed that. George was a comedian. He was making a joke.
	1:36pm Listener Robert: Alexandra, that would be pyridine, which I was using in electrophoresis buffer. But I was told the related lutidine is worse.
	1:36pm LMPnCHI: Oh Pseu! The answer to your group weed dilemma is not just pre-rolls but EDIBLES! Get into it!
	1:37pm Mister Dobalina: Not enough Crocs talk on this show.
	1:37pm Alexandra: I talked to him about it and he gave some health reason for not cleaning it and I was like maybe you shouldn’t have a cat then? Obviously that relationship soured but I know through mutual friends that the cat is still alive and well. Probably some new schmuck moved in and is taking care of it now.
	1:37pm Pseu Braun: The Textbook Committee was the gbv cover band evidently
	1:38pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Thundercalp! (I think I'm still a little loopy from the booster on Monday)
	1:39pm Fuzzy: Edibles aren't effective for everyone (me, for instance) -- they can be metabolized too quickly before the THC gets through to the brain, or something like that. A good old-fashioned bong and some alcohol wipes between hits -- that's the ticket.
	1:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Mister Dobalina: I'm wearing my old blue worn out Crocs. Almost no tread on the bottom.
	1:44pm Andres: There was a shortcut through an alley that had a lot of restaurant dumpsters in it. All the juices from these dumpsters flowed to the gutter sewer drain where they combined to form the worst smell ever especially on a hot summer day.
	1:47pm Alexandra: Oh yeah hot day food trash is definitely top ten worst Andres
	1:54pm joe mulligan: don't get me started on back alley food trash runoff. nothing worse than the rotting quinoa and days old unwanted salad stuff from a Sweetgreen
	2:00pm egould310: Jangle jangle jangle!
	2:01pm Feldy: "One minute past the hour, 59 minutes to the top of the hour"
	2:02pm Barney Grubbs: Alexandra, I only learned about the Bunny Museum last time I visited my folks and we got pizza kitty corner at the excellent Side Pie pizza. Now I won't be in a rush to go inside.
	2:02pm Lixiviated Life: its eastern DAYLIGHT SAVINGS time
	2:03pm Feldy: I like Thundercarp
	2:04pm Morgan: great show Pseu
	2:04pm TVP: But Bruce McCulloch is still fine, right?
	2:05pm I k e: Only one “saving”. You only “save” that hour once a year, so it’s Daylight Saving Time, not Savings. (Actually IDK why, I’m just making up that reason.) Oh and DST isn’t now.
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Thundercarp, the movie they play before Sharknado.
	2:05pm eva: edibles. we were high for two days. they were these little homemade cookies. roll individual joints for guests. they look pretty in a festive holiday bowl.
	2:05pm prof.fuzz: Mask up! Rock out! Buy merch! :)
	2:05pm Son Of Pantz: I saw Big Thief not long ago. Great show!
	2:07pm Morgan: my brother used to show me all the Paul is Dead clues when i was little. i was scared of zombie Paul McCartney
	2:07pm WO Town Wick: Pseu, But I DO need EFD's "stinking" lists each year-end!!!
	2:09pm Krys O.: Whatever disposable income I have goes into supporting WFMU, where the deejays go to awesome shows that I can't afford to go to and I LOVE THAT. I will live vicariously this way. <3
	2:10pm Morgan: my estate
	2:10pm YEOW.: I love Pseu's honesty if nothing else. It's why I listen and shall donate my entire estate.
	2:12pm Eeeeeek: Warning: Boiling hot take: is there a way I can hear all those best new songs without Pidge’s incessant bright chirping?! (Songs are chosen by Matt Garbage BTW, they can’t let Pidge pick or it’d all be Boston, Bieber, and Starcastle.) Do NOT try to make me less cranky in the morning like yer the Today show or something!
	2:13pm Mister Dobalina: Hotel, motel...Holiday Inn.
	2:14pm Andres: Clark, that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.
	2:15pm Lixiviated Life: @ I k e Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care about time?
	2:17pm Yes: thanks, pseu -- enjoying all the tunes
	2:19pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): As usual, great show. I have a meeting in 10 minutes. Yuk.
	2:20pm rich the greeb: I love this easy love song ❤️
	2:20pm rich the greeb: Hello Pseu and fellow hookers!!
	2:23pm Jameson57: And Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.
	2:24pm Mister Dobalina: Gotta cheese it now. Good stuff as always, Pseu. & may your weekend wingding be a smashing success.
	2:25pm rich the greeb: Yayyyy Lindsey time!!
	2:26pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Clay's chirping got me through the pandemic. Along with Pseu's grumbling and Fabio's fretting.
	2:26pm I k e: @Lixy, I only care about time because it tells me what show is on now on FMU's main channel or the alternate streams. Friday? Bryce is on! Wednesday? Gary's Bodega Pop and If You Lose Your Horse are on the Give the Drummer stream! Sunday evening? Uhh... wait, what's the Sunday evening lineup changed to now?!
	2:26pm Morgan: just 2¢ I wouldn’t use commercial edibles or prerolls if you can help it. theres some very shady business going on with labeling in the recreational/medical cannabis market right now. nothing dangerous, just stale product, food-sourced terpenes. roll/bake your own if you can
	2:28pm Jameson57: Jack Reacher always knows the time and he never wears a watch.
	2:29pm YEOW.: Ha! You are priceless Pseu.
	2:30pm Morgan: is this the mighty wurlitzer
	2:31pm Morgan: mm a little botulism
	2:31pm I k e: ROTFL!
	2:31pm DK: Home canners live on the edge!
	2:32pm YEOW.: Canning tips too! GO PSEU!
	2:32pm Jameson57: The escaping gas from those cans are indeed deadly.
	2:32pm Son Of Pantz: Fabio shouldn't be showing off his can in public!
	2:32pm Joao: Hope Fabio is alright! Pseu you're great! very funny!
	2:32pm Jameson57: ...from anyone's can for that matter.
	2:34pm Fox: (Belated comment because I was walking around listening with headphones and then my phone died) I TRIED! I'm just a mess of migraine mind.
	2:34pm Morgan: good psa, pseu. people don’t talk about the explosive decompression accidents that happen every pickling and canning season
	2:36pm Morgan: americas delicious silent killer
	2:37pm Jameson57: who is in more danger, the canner or the canee?
	2:39pm Son Of Pantz: DO not ask for whom the can boils. The can boils for thee.
	2:40pm Fishtown Mike: To be fair, my sister-in-law almost died from eating bad canned beets. Which BTW would be one of the most ridiculous ways of getting your ticket punched. Tainted beets, followed closely by backed over by a garbage truck.
	2:40pm biomurph: That VU cover kicked my butt!
	2:43pm Morgan: Fox
	2:45pm eva: great show! glade on!
	2:51pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu! Be well and have a great weekend!
	2:55pm vinylmonkee: Thanks Pseu!
	2:56pm Andres: Thank you, Pseu!! Nice penultimate closer that there!
	2:57pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, Pseu! Thanks!
	2:57pm johnk77: great work selecter rachel straight out of akron
	2:58pm HyperDose: Another grand slam! How does she do it every week?
	2:59pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thank you Pseu!
