	🤖 6:08pm chresti: Hi tim!
	6:08pm dale: i just broke up with my landline of 28 years.
	🤖 6:09pm Handy Haversack: My landline (and only line) is fiber optic now. No copper wire involved. It's creepy. There's a car battery that will give us eight hours of talking time when civilization breaks down.

	🤖 6:10pm tim from washington: Specially annotated by Mark! Now that's s prize!

	6:11pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Mark! Hello Matt!
	6:12pm melinda: @Handy that's sad. I'd like to have the option of fiber internet but replacing phone with it seems a bad path. I still have my old landline.

	🤖 6:12pm Will the Sound Guy: we're supposed to have massive solar flares soon

	6:13pm dale: when i was 6 or 7 i fell into a hole where coal was dumped down into a cellar for a greenhouse. just went down - FLUMP. came out dizzy and covered with black.
	6:13pm JJ NY-SC: Why is there an open hole in a warehouse like that!
	🤖 6:14pm tim from washington: Man, when I lived in college towns it seemed like there was at least one death a year from students walking into traffic while looking at their phone.That's so sad.
	🤖 6:14pm Handy Haversack: Maybe Greg would design a sticker I can add to the shirt showing me about to kick the phone drone off the cliff.
	6:15pm dale: p-9: it was like 50 a month and we didn't use it. and the copper was probably 60 years old to our house, really crappy service.
	🤖 6:15pm Handy Haversack: Erin in TO!
	6:15pm yippie: For most people I know, they would need to break up with their phone first, just to be able to read any book.
	🤖 6:15pm Bas NL: Greg's design would make a great poster as well!

	🤖 6:22pm Handy Haversack: Can you get high from eating Air pods too?

	🤖 6:29pm tim from washington: Matt is the Andy Breckman of apps.
	6:29pm dale: the one where he was a photographer and staged bloody accidents to photograph and sell them?

	6:31pm P-90: Matt’s slippers are “puffed out” and “pimped out”
	🤖 6:31pm Handy Haversack: Does Matt wear them around JC, or are they in-station only? Mark's a real tabletop gamer. He knows what's up.
	6:32pm K: love those. Can Matt sing the Fuzzy Glove Hour theme song please?
	6:33pm Marie: I am loving this. BTW, I think I might have coined "daddy Garbage." Seriously. I'll have to do some research in the playlists
	🤖 6:33pm tim from washington: Mark is proving that Matt is a walking after school special.
	🤖 6:33pm Handy Haversack: Matt's on schemecorns!
	6:33pm queems: I LIKE THE ENERGY
	6:34pm P-90: Daddy Garbage is ALL ABOUT the lottery element
	6:34pm wizard frog: hahaha, the contrast between these two guys is amazing
	6:34pm DanFA: Let Matt have his slippers!
	🤖 6:34pm Bas NL: Don't stop now, Mark!

	🤖 6:35pm Handy Haversack: Sock it to him! Or slipper it to him, as it were.
	6:35pm dale: using a credit card to BUY slippers is just as much a loss of privacy as lil' matty winning slippers online.
	6:35pm melinda: I appreciate the tough love
	🤖 6:35pm Folsom: We need a Matt/Mark/Clay combo to get Matt riled
	6:36pm Tom from Stirling: Those "slippers" look like two left feet. Or Matt is wearing them on the wrong foot.

	🤖 6:38pm tim from washington: "I'm not for a bunch of things" - hahahaha!
	6:38pm wizard frog: wonder if Matt and Mark hung around together long enough, Mark may end up wearing puffy sneakers and stuff from apps like Matt haha

	6:42pm Scott in Chicago: No, not smash the slippers, smash the apple ear pods right now with a hammer.
	6:42pm McGroovey: All these apps: I don't see the use for most of them. Twitter? Who cares. Instawhatever? Why? Twitch? No idea what it is.
	6:42pm Dano59: do the slippers fit over Todd's socks? I hope Bruce is not getting upset at Daddy G getting upset
	6:43pm ultradamno: I did recently come across and Alf NFT, solidifying my position they are digital pogs
	6:43pm Yes: this is gold
	6:43pm P-90: What? A guy can’t dabble a little in NFTs?

	6:45pm Tom from Stirling: learn that poem, read that book, make that Pledge.
	6:45pm Altered Beets: Matthew Warwick... are you now, or have you ever been, a known associate of the woman known as Razzlekhan?
	🤖 6:45pm Handy Haversack: Now. We are the robots. -->
	🤖 6:46pm Handy Haversack: For those slightly more aged of us, he means Matari 2600.
	🤖 6:46pm Folsom: The Burgertime game song is pretty good.

	6:49pm chris in the redwoods: i hope this is a game about drinking beer
	6:49pm DanFA: @Tom from Stirling- yes, eradicate Big Tech
	6:49pm melinda: that was a great theme
	6:50pm Yes: this has been incredible. thank you
	🤖 6:50pm Bas NL: The Fuzzy Tech Hour.
	6:51pm Dano59: I'm the wind, baby. - Tom Servo
	🤖 6:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: It's not "I'm a loner, baby." It's, "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." Don't mis-quote Pee Wee!
	6:51pm P-90: Matt makes Mark a lot more goofy, Mark doesn’t change Matt at all
	6:51pm ultradamno: I remember a flash game based on The Residents' Duck Stab where ducks flew at you and you had to stab them all while a loop of Constantinople played...so fun.
	6:51pm dale: LOT'S of things called big apple this or big apple that...
	🤖 6:51pm Handy Haversack: Gotta feed the monsters. Excellent convo, Mark and Matt! When Matt ends up accidentally selling himself on the Dark Web since he didn't read the terms and conditions, the Techtonic Freedom Force will come to the rescue. And the music for that video game will be the greatest ever! Wendy: You don't wanna get mixed up with a guy like me!
	🤖 6:52pm Folsom: Matt needs the tie dyed slippers
	6:52pm ultradamno: Superbad is still out there though www.superbad.com
	6:52pm P-90: @ultra: is that a joke or a thing? Did the Residents make it themselves?
	6:52pm Dano59: if you want Matt's passwords and SSN, just type in 'slippers' on the Dark Web
	6:53pm ultradamno: Oh, it existed. I doubt they had anything to do with it.
	🤖 6:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Handy: "There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand."

	🤖 6:54pm Handy Haversack: Wendy, I hope you at least understand what an act of will has been required for 20+ years now to keep me from shouting, "Do you have something to share with the rest of us, AMAZING LARRY?!" at literally every work meeting ever.
	🤖 6:55pm tim from washington: Please pledge to Mark if you haven't already! Techtonic is a truly unique show that can only be found on WFMU.

	🤖 6:57pm Folsom: It looks like there is only one size for the slippers, size 4-13
	🤖 6:57pm Bas NL: Ave Handy!
	6:57pm Daybreak: Or you may fall in an obvious hole in a stage like Justin Biber. If we are lucky!
	🤖 6:57pm Handy Haversack: K8: "He's not going to get to mine! Because yours was two minutes long!" That was K8!
	🤖 6:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: In other words, it's very, very, very ... umm ... good.
	🤖 6:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: K8!!! <3
	6:58pm Dano59: also Team Mark - (I didn't comment)

	🤖 6:59pm Bas NL: Great Marathon show Mark & Matt!
	7:00pm P-90: Horseheads NY, big Sicilian-American enclave there
	7:00pm _Ike_: I'm right in between Matt and Mark insofar as I like a "gambling" aspect to one game on my phone, where you can "roll" for different fighting cats by opening "cat capsules", but the game is completely free unless you're dumb enough to buy "cat food" in one of the ridiculous sales, which are nonsensically expensive anyway, LOL. It's very VERY silly, but at least it costs no money (unless you're dumb).
	7:00pm dale: good wendy's in horseheads.
	🤖 7:00pm tim from washington: Thanks, Mark and Matt! Chuck the e-waste off the Brooklyn Bridge!
	7:01pm captain beef fart: My name is captain beef fart and I'm subscribed to apple and amazon

	🤖 6:51pm Handy Haversack: Gotta feed the monsters. Excellent convo, Mark and Matt! When Matt ends up accidentally selling himself on the Dark Web since he didn't read the terms and conditions, the Techtonic Freedom Force will come to the rescue.

	7:00pm P-90: Horseheads NY, big Sicilian-American enclave there
	7:00pm _Ike_: I'm right in between Matt and Mark insofar as I like a "gambling" aspect to one game on my phone, where you can "roll" for different fighting cats by opening "cat capsules", but the game is completely free unless you're dumb enough to buy "cat food" in one of the ridiculous sales, which are nonsensically expensive anyway, LOL. It's very VERY silly, but at least it costs no money (unless you're dumb).
	7:00pm dale: good wendy's in horseheads.
	🤖 7:00pm tim from washington: Thanks, Mark and Matt! Chuck the e-waste off the Brooklyn Bridge!
