Listener comments!
	7:46pm Krys O.: Good evening and welcome, folks!
	👻 7:56pm Austin Rich: Good Hello!
	7:59pm Krys O.: Hey, Austin!
	👻 7:59pm Mr Fab: hi Krys! I think I'm more of an Old Youngster.
	7:59pm HyperDose: Yay! Another hour with WFMU legend Krys O. We're so lucky!
	👻 8:00pm Austin Rich: When I was a child, I used to sing oldies to my parents, and they would laugh, and say, "We raised an old man." Jokes on them... I came by my oldness honestly.
	8:00pm Krys O.: Mr. Fab and HyperDose! Put up your feet and relax.
	8:00pm Scott67: G'day Krys & Wiggly Ones! ☕😎🤙📻🌏🌻
	👻 8:00pm Austin Rich: Oh, is this an open bar? Don't mind if I do...
	👻 8:01pm Mr Fab: This is great, Eartha's lounge act. Sounds like one guy on organ, and a conga player.
	8:01pm Krys O.: I used to put on my mom's coat, throw on a kerchief on my head and pretend I was an old Polish lady when I was about 6 years old.
	8:01pm Feldy: Good evening all!
	8:01pm Krys O.: Geritol shots on the house too.
	8:02pm Krys O.: Hello, Feldy!
	👻 8:02pm Austin Rich: "I got through all of last year..." Sing it, sister. Last year SUCKED.
	8:02pm Krys O.: Hey, Scott!
	8:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya, Krys, folks!
	8:02pm HyperDose: Please teach us how to make potato and onion pierogi, Krys!
	8:03pm Krys O.: Pauly!
	8:05pm chresti: Hi Krys! and wigglers!
	8:05pm Krys O.: Aw, HyperDose. I used to help my mom make 'em, but it's a daunting task on one's own.
	8:05pm Krys O.: Howdy, chresti!
	8:05pm Franco Twinkie: Howdy ho Krys O!
	8:06pm Krys O.: Hidey-ho, Franco Twinkie!
	8:08pm Krys O.: This was actually in Alan Rudolph's film, Remember My Name which is a bizarre film. Young Jeff Goldblum appears too.
	8:08pm StringOFperils: Hello.
	8:09pm Krys O.: SOP, hello!
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: There is so much Dick Cavett just free online, to watch and marvel at. I'm usually astonished by one of the conversations on each show.
	8:12pm Krys O.: There were so many great talk shows. I watched Dinah Shore after school. Merv at night.
	8:12pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Krys !
	8:12pm Krys O.: Anita, dear! How are ya?
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: I haven't even cracked the Dinah Shore / Merv cannon. I'm sure there's great stuff, but I'm already not watching Rockford Files. I need balance!
	8:13pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Great! I always look forward to your show!
	8:14pm Krys O.: I've been watching Rockford Files chronologically. I'm up to season three. Awesome! Thanks, Anita.
	👻 8:15pm Austin Rich: I feel like Rockford Files is one of those perfect shows. The pacing, the music, the stories. It's like the television ideal, in a way.
	👻 8:15pm Mr Fab: now George Burns, that's someone from my childhood i don't remember not being old. He was making jokes like "it's great to be here. Tho at my age, it's great to be anywhere."
	8:16pm Franco Twinkie: Dick Cavett was my favorite show as a disaffected teenager. I wanted to talk like him and have light hearted conversations with Janis Joplin, Gore Vidal and Eldridge Cleaver. THAT to me was what been a grown-up could be. It sure didn't work out that way.
	8:16pm Pauly from Clifton: Merv Griffin was great. I saw Devo on one of his shows after they released New Traditionalists.
	8:16pm Krys O.: True, Mr. Fab. George gets a mention later.
	👻 8:16pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I'm with you, Mr. Fab. To me, he was always old. But he was usually still pretty good, no matter how old.
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: I'm loving how you're connecting these. Radio after my own heart.
	8:20pm StringOFperils: There's some TV show that George Burns and Gracie Allen had in the late 50s, where George is still kinda younger and very suave. Basically their radio show moved to TV.
	8:20pm chresti: My ex worked on a George Burns at the Moulin Rouge special
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: I'm only familiar with the Burns & Allen radio show, but even then, he SOUNDS like old George Burns. It's pretty incredible; he was instantly recognizable for decades.
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: If I had more time, I have this dream of doing a public access version of a variety show. I tried doing a live version pre-covid, where we would have a comedian, music, and a host... a sometimes other acts, too. But it just didn't really take off. I did like 12 of them, and then we stopped.
	👻 8:23pm Mr Fab: Yeah I've seen clips of the Burns and Allen show, SOp. It was strange not hearing age jokes! He once had a whole other thing going, w/Gracie.
	8:23pm Krys O.: I adore Gracie Allen. She was a sheer genius and George knew it.
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: Agreed. He knew what he had in her; her timing was priceless.
	8:24pm StringOFperils: ^^Agreed, Krys. Gracie was easily George's equal.
	👻 8:25pm Mr Fab: 12 sounds like a pretty good run, Austin! I like the idea of neo-vaudeville shows. Basically what burlesque shows are nowadays.
	8:26pm chresti: Austin, maybe my ex would be interested in doing something like that
	👻 8:26pm Austin Rich: A Gold Record from Caedmon! That's rad!
	8:27pm Krys O.: There was the George Burns reference via Carol.
	8:28pm Franco Twinkie: Austin, better that a gold record on Carlton Records.
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: Carol Channing is the best.
	👻 8:29pm Mr Fab: Wow, bet Alan Rudolph was REAL happy about that...
	8:30pm Franco Twinkie: My Castle's Rocking brings to mind sex in a bouncy room.
	8:30pm Krys O.: Ah, but you couldn't fault 86 year old Alberta Hunter. She wrote some fine tunes for the movie.
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: I wonder if I still have my VHS tape feat. Joe Franklin interviewing The Ramones. Or, as he called them, "the famous RAY-mones group."
	👻 8:31pm Austin Rich: Oh, that would be solid gold, Mr. Fab.
	8:31pm Krys O.: I was an insomniac since childhood and would watch Joe Franklin on late night TV. Had the great honor of meeting him. Drew Friedman took this photo of myself with Joe. www.instagram.com...
	👻 8:32pm Austin Rich: Look at Joe! Wow! How cool!
	8:32pm Franco Twinkie: Oh Krys!
	8:32pm Krys O.: If I'm not mistaken Dave the Spazz was on the Joe Franklin show...must check.
	👻 8:33pm Mr Fab: Ha, how did Dave arrange that?!
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: "These rock and rollers..."
	8:33pm Krys O.: I remembered correctly! Here's Dave the Spazz on Joe Franklin: www.youtube.com...
	👻 8:35pm Mr Fab: can't wait to watch that, Krys! Didn't Joe Franklin visit the WFMU Record Fair?
	8:35pm Krys O.: Archie Bunker used to call out to Alice Faye in his dreams.
	8:37pm Krys O.: That wouldn't surprise me, Mr. Fab.
	8:39pm Franco Twinkie: Dry up with nothing to say - is that a tee shirt or what?
	8:39pm HyperDose: Might have to crack open a Polish beer in Krys' honor
	8:39pm Krys O.: Ruth doesn't wanna hear your symptoms, is another concept too.
	👻 8:40pm Austin Rich: "Well Preserved People." Ha!
	8:41pm Krys O.: She graduated high school in 1914!
	8:41pm Franco Twinkie: I guess Ruth didn't live in Santa Monica.
	8:41pm Feldy: Yes, an award of money is fine
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: That's amazing.
	8:47pm HyperDose: This is so relatable
	8:48pm Franco Twinkie: I'll say.
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: Two old guys talking about bar fights. Yeah... for some reason this story isn't "landing" with me.
	8:49pm Scott67: Thanks Krys! Gotta go back to bed & try waking up again without a hangover. 😎🤙📻🌻🦋
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Good Luck, Scott67!
	8:49pm Krys O.: Thanks, Scott! Take care.
	8:50pm Scott67: 😎🤙❤️
	8:50pm HyperDose: Drink some water Scott!
	8:50pm Franco Twinkie: Scott, for every bottle of beer, one glass of water.
	8:51pm HyperDose: 2:1 for me Franco
	8:51pm Krys O.: Feisty Eubie!
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: E G Marshall!?
	8:52pm HyperDose: Oooh I wanna hear that Buddy Rich performance
	8:52pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, maybe an I.V. drip if you're knocked out cold.
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: Yeah, Buddy Rich is always good.
	8:52pm Scott67: Done the water guys. This is a dizzy head I'm dealing with now. 22 cans of heavy beer, when all I drink normally is light. ✌️🥴
	8:53pm HyperDose: Austin Rich is always good ;)
	8:54pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	👻 8:54pm Austin Rich: Yay! Jimmy Durante! This show rules, Krys!
	8:55pm Krys O.: Thank you to everyone for tuning in and chiming in! I really appreciate it.
	8:56pm HyperDose: Thank you, Krys. I aspire to be as cool as you!
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks a million Krys. Now get in the kitchen and make us some pierogi!
	👻 8:56pm Mr Fab: Thx, Krys - Really cool original idea.
	8:56pm Krys O.: Aw, I'm not worthy. Shucks.
	8:57pm Krys O.: Ruth Gordon was my inspiration for this show.
	8:57pm Scott67: Krys....😎🤙💨🌺🌺
	8:59pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thank you Krys, I Love being a Senior Citizen!!
	9:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!!!
	9:00pm Krys O.: You're awesome! Check out Mid-Valley Mutations here: wfmu.org...
