	11:08am Frank In Queens: Was the flavor bad or the after effects?
	11:09am Listener Baby: Baby. Had a Costco hot dog the other day. Supposed to be excellent. Fraid not!
	11:10am clarke: speaking of a frayed knot.... WE GOT SOME ROPE TO MOVE, YET.
	11:10am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:08 no after effects, but it was like eating a stick of salt.
	11:10am tonyb: Boars Head makes a tasty dog.
	11:10am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:10 Oddly spiced salt.
	11:10am Gerry from Miami: Yo, SQUINTS! Still recuperating from your FOURTH OF JULY celebration?
	11:11am clarke: squints is still recovering from LAST july 4th.
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Song: "New Kind Of Love" by "Barbara Lynn" babs!
	11:13am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:10 Well, at least the unpleasantness was relatively short-lived.
	11:13am Hughie Considine: Morning, all! Apparently a guy in South Carolina put a lit firework on his head and snuffed it the other day.
	11:13am clarke: wilko!
	11:13am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "All Through The City" by "Dr. Feelgood" You have my attention!
	11:13am Squints: I've actually been a pretty humble bumble this week. Did most of my damage at Solid Sound in NW Mass last weekend. Grandkids started pulling in Tuesday so Pop has to be on good behavior. (On a Squints scale.)
	11:13am Mr. Jones: It's all about a natural casing on hot dogs for me. Almost none have it anymore.
	11:14am greg g: Go Wilko!
	11:14am Audiocarp: “Did you drop the hot dog in salt?!”
	11:14am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:13 I actually prefer Wilko to Wilco.
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:13 looking fwd to your reportage on SS.
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Audiocarp @11:14 "What? I thought it was a big radish."
	11:14am gf2002: Cue the song Hot Dog by Lou Donaldson - all 10 minutes of it
	11:14am Mr. Jones: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:14 Roger that
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:14 me, too, but don't tell them.
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Oh Lo" by "Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs" ...Domingo Samudio ...hadda look it up. Maybe remember...
	11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gittar Mag : Speak of your pedals. Wilko : Pedals ? I'm a Gittarist not a bicyclist.
	11:17am Mr. Jones: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:16 flowers R pretty
	11:18am Frank In Queens: 10/10!

	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Take A Walk" by "Wolfmen, The" 10/10
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Take A Walk" by "Wolfmen, The" But can you do it again?..
	11:18am clarke: (i'm reading a russian novel)
	11:19am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "If The Good Lord's Willing And The Creek Don't Ri... Not about water.
	11:19am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:14 Tweedy was pretty focused and Wilco delivered hard both Friday & Saturday. (I heard in the past he's been wobbly; you know, gettin' Squintsy.) The Saturday night pentultimate act, Dry Cleaning (from the UK) was pretty good and we enjoyed a guy about 10 rows about bouncing his llama puppet. NL&LS were absolutement le merde chaud before that, as were The Young Fresh Fellows. Jason Isbell kicked ass Friday night. First time for me. (He was out of the DBTs by the time I started seeing them.) Band from Chicago called Horsegirl was a nice start to the Friday. All in all, a splendid time had by myself and some college buds. I regret missing Iris Dement on Sunday, but had to get back to Plymouth so the ladies could chase me.
	11:20am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Squints @11:19 "Le merde chaud"--love that!
	11:20am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "If The Good Lord's Willing And The Creek Don't Ri... Well. Maybe this one is. I stand corrected.
	11:21am Squints: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 Except in the sense that you don't miss it until...
	11:21am Hughie Considine: Sounds like someone had much more fun than I did these past few days. I just watched baseball and tried not to read the paper.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:19 sounds awesome - except for the llama puppet.
	11:22am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:19 Took me a little bit to realize that was John Perrin of NRBQ drumming for YFFs. I kinda knew that going in but it wasn't on mind until I thought, "I've SEEN that guy."
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 dude, get out of my brain!
	11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:21 What do you have against llama puppets? Oh, by the way, Peej says to say hi.
	11:22am Squints: ↳ Song: "Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song)" by "Lou Rawls" Don't he look balls, y'all.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 hi peej - i don't really like ANY puppets.
	11:23am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 Oh, no. The llama guy was awesome. Llama mighta gotten tired of the ride after a while.
	11:23am JG: ↳ Song: "Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song)" by "Lou Rawls" hard to top Otis, but Lou is pretty great here
	11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:23 lol
	11:24am clarke: and how is it so sad?
	11:24am Cooh John: Once interviewed Lou. Got a mainline of soul through my headphones.
	11:25am Hughie Considine: Lou Rawls...not to be confused with loo rolls.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:23 n. adams is a really cool town! ay?
	11:27am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 It was a nice hang. Beer lines were just long enough to keep people, including myself, from getting out of hand. I think I had like three pales or lagers each day.
	11:28am Squints: Red hots! Get your ice cold red hots!
	11:28am clarke: is this an election year? again?
	11:29am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:25 Got stuff goin' on, that's for sure. No ocean beach is strikes one and two for me, but if you don't need that, it's pretty cool.
	11:29am Gregosaurus: Upstate? Must have been Hoffmans. Legendary in Syracuse.
	11:30am gf2002: A different way to try hot dogs, courtesy the now defunct Limerick Diner: Cut the dog in half, then split it lengthwise. Put them flat and pan fry in butter or grill on a flat-top until browned. Serve on a toasted burger bun or toast with pickles on the side. (chef's kiss...)
	11:30am Squints: Is Hamilton College in Hamilton? I have a retired rocks professor buddy who teaches a course there every other semester.
	11:31am Joey C: Hello Michael and everyone listening
	11:31am Frank In Queens: I had three dogs on the 4th. Met my quota for the year.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: I just read an article that said, as good as grill marks look on a dog, the better way to grill 'em is to lay them vertically in the vents for greater surface area.
	11:31am clarke: The Green!
	11:31am Andres: Go Colgate Raiders!
	11:31am P-90: You SOLD your Harvey Pekar comic collection?!
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ P-90 @11:31 He needed a little comic relief.
	11:32am johnk77: ↳ Cooh John @11:24 talked to lou rawls at a hotel in new orleans 1984 good guy and a big fan of laura branigan
	11:32am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 I always do vertically in the vents, turn them 4 times and you get an even brown. Grill marks are overrated haha
	11:32am Squints: ↳ gf2002 @11:30 I'ma tell you right now, the butter part only sounds stupid. <homer drooling sound> I endorse the pickles but I don't put 'em on the side anymore. I'm a new man since discovering dill relish a dozen or so years ago. Just mainline that right on top with the brown mustard.
	11:32am clarke: ha ha
	11:32am Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @11:31 had them ALL
	11:33am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 👏
	11:33am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "She Was My Girl" by "Green" So Trump is a big fan too. I wonder if he heard them on this show?
	11:33am Dano59: ... always very coy with the details, Michael. Being in upstate NY myself, it is true that the farther from hipster loci you are, the better the record prices.
	11:33am Re6ecca: Wow, I grew up in Hamilton! Miss it! Colgate University is in Hamilton. My Mother used to type papers for the college students, a dollar per page back in the eighties!
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Andres @11:31 A Plymouth buddy's beautiful bride went to Colgate.
	11:34am Listener Baby: Baby. Tell your Harvey Pekar story.
	11:34am Miketp: Disappointed in Biden prep team.
	11:34am gf2002: ↳ Squints @11:32 It's just to keep them from sticking and it helps to brown them. Since my heart scare I use cooking spray more often but the butter is great...
	11:34am Gregosaurus: The white hot dogs were coneys, BTW.
	11:36am Squints: ↳ gf2002 @11:34 When finally relenting to a statin, I warned my primary care doctor that as regards butter, red meat and shellfish, she was giving me a license to fly. I'd like to live long. But I'm going to make sure I live well.
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ Gregosaurus @11:34 That's not what they called them
	11:36am Richard: Katz's hot dogs are indeed great, but don't pass up the knoblewurst. Pro tip: pay the extra buck for club bread.
	11:36am tonyb: Bo knows.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 The white ones were this: hofmannsausage.com...
	11:37am Moammar: I am imagining Jerome saying "Who are these white boys?"
	11:37am Squints: ↳ tonyb @11:36 <gretzky skates to camera, smiles and shakes his head> No.
	11:37am gf2002: ↳ Squints @11:36 Same here! And I can't give up my mayo.
	11:38am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:37 Didn't Eric Burdon allude broadly to that in "Story Of Bo Diddley?"
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Re6ecca @11:33 Does HOFFANN Hot Dogs ring a bell?
	11:39am clarke: apparently, they didn't ring YOUR bell!
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ManfredMann vs. Zombies DeathMatch. How's it look.
	11:39am Gregosaurus: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 Ah, same ones tho...coney's in my Dad's day's. Mainstay of Heid's in Liverpool, the Rutts Hut of central NY.
	11:40am gf2002: When I was in college and broke, we'd go to the convenience store and get what we called "condo dogs". 2 dogs for 1.29 or something, and load them with every condiment they had at the store. Mayo, ketchup, relish, onions, and whatever else. Piled ridiculously high. Probably took a few years off the ol' lifespan but they were tasty and filling.
	11:40am greg g: Leaping out of my cell phone! Good purchase Michael!!
	11:40am Mr. Jones: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 Natural casing, at least I'd like that part. The oversalting, not so much
	11:40am tonyb: Bo Jackson won me some dough on a Monday Night Football wager. First & last sporting bet win…
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:31 WHAT BRAND WERE YOUR DOGS - I find veggie dog technology is way beyond advances in fake burgers
	11:41am gf2002: That was Store 24 in Boston btw
	11:41am clarke: ↳ tonyb @11:40 guy was a double-baller.
	11:42am JG: Thuman's makes a good dog. Not overly salty. Big and juicy too
	11:42am clarke: (that didnt come out right)
	11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 Impossible. This bar up in Greenpoint has a vegan kitchen attached to it and they did a veggie dog special on Thursday. 3 varieties; Ballpark, Chili Slaw, and "Everything" which is "Seattle Style" apparently.
	11:42am Marko: Michael, there are two companies in Rochester, NY, that make white hot dogs -- Zweigle is the preeminent one. You didn't care for them. For many other people, Zweigle's white hots are delicious and unique, so much that people drive from distant points -- i.e. Montclair -- to devour them (Don's Original in Rochester is a longstanding hot-dog chain in Rochester offering white hots). Rochester-based Wegman's supermarkets, including one in northern NJ, carry Zeigle hots. Years ago, the Woodbridge Wegman's didn't carry white hots. Instead of the pinkish food coloring of regular hot dogs that are made of beef and/or pork or some vegetative stuff, Zweigle uses beef, pork and veal, and uses powdered milk to provide the white-ish tincture.
	11:43am Andres: Still pondering the intersection of Harvey Pekar comics and Trump pardonee. Crazy.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: To be frank, I'm relishing this conversation.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Veggie burgers too diverse to generalize. One might give the Pea Protein burgers with too much beet juice to simulate blood a chance ferinstance... I'd suggest microwaving Veggie Burgers & then merely scoring on a grill to not dry them out if you wanna join the grill scene...
	11:44am Christina Ginger: Zweigles white hots are the shit. So delicious. I would kill for a meatless white hot.
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 can you link me in?
	11:44am Christina Ginger: I grew up demanding them every summer, until I went veg.
	11:45am tonyb: : ) …actually Easy Goer paid me well when he won the Belmont
	11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 you kinda need to pile stuff on 'em
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:44 As long as you can cut the mustard.
	11:45am clarke: no, i WON!!!
	11:46am Ralph: Walter’s Hot Dogs in Mamaroneck is still open. They have a hot dog truck now too!
	11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 Pros And Cons Of More Meat like Veggie Burgers" Pro: Widely available and allows for most places to have some sort of vegetarian option. Con: The house-made veggie burger is a dying art.
	11:47am clarke: he works blue!
	11:47am gf2002: Two legendary dog stands: https://thenewverybest.com/ http://www.yoccos.com/
	11:48am dk50b: My dad possibly saved Walter's from a calamity. We lived in the apartments next door, and on a visit he noticed smoke coming from their old neon sign, which they hadn't realized.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 u down for Eng vs. Switzerland?
	11:49am Christina Ginger: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 Give me a veggie patty over beyond/impossible any day.
	11:49am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Road Of Brokenhearted Men" by "Bobby Bland" Bongo feet candidate right here.
	11:49am gf2002: Ketchup on hot dogs, yes or no? I'm a yes. Others find it offensive. Also love the sauerkraut piled high
	11:49am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:45 I like a good topping like everyone else, but I'm not one for over-doing it. The "everything" had cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and scallions. Not terrible, but also far from amazing.
	11:50am clarke: a snappy griller is a happy griller.
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:48 Gonna keep an eye on it. Gotta track my show before this evening's activities.
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ gf2002 @11:49 Yes, but must be accompanied by mustard.
	11:50am Gregosaurus: Never read the ingredients. It's too ghastly.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 gotcha. what are this evening's activities??
	11:51am Squints: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:49 Yeah. I don't need mustard and deli relish AND chili and cheese. I like some like this and some like that. I WOULD happily add pepperoncini or banana peppers to the mustard/dill combo.
	11:51am ChrisB.: Hoffman’s Hot Dogs are simply the finest. I will hear no more about it.
	11:51am clarke: you don't wanna know how the sausage is made.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:51 DJ night at a Mexican joint over in Jersey City.
	11:51am gf2002: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 Absolutely! And I actually prefer the plain yellow mustard but last night I used spicy brown on my dogs. No chili though.
	11:52am yippie: i get a couple of dog hots from the guy with a cart at cooper square when i want get juiced up for the hotdog gluttony contests
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" Oh. That Gordon.
	11:52am greg g: Was thinking the TV Personalities
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 noice, mate! i mean: bueno!
	11:52am Squints: ↳ gf2002 @11:49 Love kraut. Haven't put ketchup on anything since early grade school.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" Not enough songs like this.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:52 that Gerald.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @11:51 Yep. I'll do ketchup and mustard. Kraut and mustard. Chili and kraut. I can do without relish and onions and the more outlandish toppings.
	11:53am Andres: Hot dog toppings in threes. Ketchup mustard relish. Tomatoes avocado mayo. Mustard onions sauerkraut. Etc.
	11:53am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" At least he's not bitter about it...
	11:54am Andres: Ingerland v Switzerland on screen.
	11:54am Re6ecca: Great song!!
	11:54am random Control: that song was awesome!
	11:54am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" This is not a recommendation for Britons indulging in rock 'n' roll.
	11:54am Hughie Considine: Yes, foiks, he's right once again: make your own hot dog onions!
	11:54am clarke: u guys don't know the joys of creole mustard on a good dog. and bell pepper!
	11:54am Christina Ginger: ↳ Squints @11:52 Anti Ketchup Club!
	11:54am evancuts: Listener "Frank" commenting about hot dogs?
	11:55am Frank In Queens: ↳ gf2002 @11:51 I prefer the yellow mustard as well. But I like a bit of variety as well from time to time.
	11:55am clarke: THE Smoke??
	11:55am oxnard: New York pushcart onion sauce gets my vote.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Song: "High In A Room" by "Smoke, The" good outfit! short-lived, actually.
	11:56am Mr. Jones: Future(2030) DJ's are training on the banter from today's show.
	11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ evancuts @11:54 It writes itself!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kraut supposed to be a superfood or something. I never got into it. Maybe someday...
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 lol
	11:57am gf2002: When there is sauerkraut on the dogs, I do ketchup and mustard in large quantities. No kraut, it's relish, ketchup, mustard, and sometimes mayo. If I have them on hand, diced onions. I only do yellow mustard or spicy brown. And a great side is deviled eggs.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 Fermented foods are a "thing". I hated kraut when I was a kid (probably because the kind we always had at home came out of a can). I've come to enjoy it quite a bit.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 there's a decent recipe to make yer own kraut on the youtube, but i keep looking at it, saying "i'll never do that"
	11:58am Christina Ginger: I had an impossible dog with cream cheese, scallions, and everything bagel seasoning on it the other nite, and it was very good.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: Anyone ever been to Happy Dog in Cleveland. Talk about outlandish toppings options!
	11:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Mess Under That Dress" by "Swamp Dogg" Been enjoying this latest from Mr. Dogg a lot. What can't he do?
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:58 No match for the tried and true combinations.
	11:59am Michael Shelley: I recommend this sauce for veggie burgers if you're looking for the take-out-burger experience: www.seriouseats.com...
	12:00pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Mess Under That Dress" by "Swamp Dogg" HOT DOG!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not too into Mayo - but got this Chosen Foods brand Chipotle flavor Mayo made with Avocado oil I'm enjoying.
	12:00pm clarke: creole mustard of choice: Zatarain's.
	12:00pm evancuts: During my young starving artist days right after college when I was working in midtown NYC I would go to the fixin's bar at Roy Rogers in Times Square and make a "hot dog salad" consisting of relish, saurkraut pickles, onions and mustard. Actually a very healthy lunch.
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:59 I do something similar at home from time to time. Definitely beats just straight-up ketchup.
	12:01pm DG: Wow, I thought Swamp Dogg was a blues guy, didn't know this was him. I think he's playing at a Rooftop Films show this week in Brooklyn.
	12:01pm Andres: Secret Sauce always wins.
	12:02pm clarke: creole mustard for the TRUE swamp dog.
	12:02pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:59 Kenji knows what he’s talking about, pretty much for anything.
	12:02pm gf2002: If you're visiting Maine, seek out Morse's Sauerkraut: https://www.morsessauerkraut.com/ It's pretty much in the wilderness, but worth the drive. They have a few dining tables and serve Schaller & Weber hot dogs...great place to visit.
	12:03pm paul: Most hot dog package are labeled FRANKS or FRANKFURTERS.
	12:03pm Hughie Considine: I can confirm that your Quaalude experience was not unique.
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: Luuuuuuuuds man.....
	12:03pm Cooh John: Qaaludes were the best.
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all.
	12:04pm Mailman Tom: Bo's best song, IMO
	12:04pm Christina Ginger: We just watched Looking for Mr. Goodbar last nite, and there is indeed a quaalude bit.
	12:04pm JG: I found 'ludes to be utterly fantastic
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: But it was the best time you've ever forgotten about.
	12:04pm clarke: dude!! you missed the dog talk!
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: Never did Qualuudes. I preferred booze and pretty much everything else. I'm not at all sure how I'm still alive. Lol
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 guess what everyone is eating for lunch, today?
	12:05pm gf2002: I heard from a guy name Klinger that a place called Tony Packo's in Toledo makes a great dog
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: I've been listening. Maybe I'll go find a veggie dog
	12:05pm Andres: In the package it’s a wiener. With the bun it’s a hot dog.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Too young for ludes, but was the right age for the all the new at the time pharmaceuticals of the late 90s. Some of my best and worst drug experiences. Wouldn't touch that shit now however, even though the docs push it on you for even the slightest bit of discomfort.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:05 not on my... RADAR.
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:05 Kilnger's dogs are a HONEYCUT about the rest!
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: Great National Lampoon cartoon of a hot dog reading a piece of mail that says, YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WIENER.
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:07 Meh, spelled it wrong.
	12:07pm clarke: ha ha
	12:07pm gf2002: FRANK Burns would agree...
	12:09pm Andres: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:04 Recommended viewing?

	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assembled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️
	12:09pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "They Don't Know How To Fall In Place" by "Lemon T... Gotta say...this song is in the running for best song of the year so far. They did a live acoustic performance a few weeks ago and covered Red Rubber Ball - Really cool to hear that. Love this record.
	12:09pm tonyb: Rorers or Sopers (714s). Valium was a more subtle substitute.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:02 yeah - he does the work
	12:10pm clarke: something to put your hot lips on.
	12:11pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "They Don't Know How To Fall In Place" by "Lemon T... The Twigs channeled Leon Russell for the keyboard work on this track, perfect tribute to those Gary Lewis hits. Love it.
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @12:09 The fact that it's not an easy film to find makes it worth it alone. But yes, I would recommend it. Not a pleasant movie, but a good movie IMO.
	12:12pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Andres @12:09 If you can get your hands on it, yes. It was on TCM last nite, so you might be able to watch it on their site if you have cable.
	12:12pm clarke: oh.... is it MOVIETIME?!?
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:12 Sadly, all the movies from last night are on the TCM site EXCEPT for Goodbar, which is not surprising.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:12 i don't remember that flick being so good, but missed the broadcast last night.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:13 there's a decent line-up tonight!
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:12 Seems like it! This week was the aforementioned "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" and "New York, New York" which I did not care for.
	12:14pm gf2002: From Morse's in Maine: https://mail.morsessauerkraut.com/restaurant.html "Kraut Balls" - Sauerkraut, pork, bacon, cheese, rolled in Panko and deep fried. Served with 1,000 Island for dipping. Now that's an appetizer! Delicious.
	12:15pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @12:13 It’s tough to watch at times, especially as a female. But I thought Diane Keaton did a fantastic job in portraying the duality of her character.
	12:15pm tonyb: Usually when films disappear/are hard to find, it’s an issue with the producer(s).
	12:15pm Andres: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:12 I’ve heard of it forever but only just looked it up when you mentioned it. Heavy subject matter.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 yeah, i checked for a second.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:15 will re-visit sometime.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ tonyb @12:15 In this case, it's a music rights issue. Lots of big hits from the era in the movie and I guess clearance for all of them is not worth the effort or money for the studio.
	12:17pm Cooh John: Klinger's hot dogs are real. Tony Packo's Hungarian hotdogs. Half of a sausage. The place had a Dixieland jazz band on the weekends. I have eaten my share. 🌭
	12:17pm tonyb: ✅
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @12:15 I couldn't believe that they were showing it last night. It was a must watch just because I didn't know if I'd ever get another opportunity to see it.
	12:17pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Andres @12:15 Supposedly Madonna made a music video that references it? I have never see it, though: m.youtube.com...
	12:18pm Andres: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 To the vhs bins! Although my local thrift stores don’t even bother with them anymore.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 i probably shoulda watched it - but bezboll u know?
	12:19pm clarke: also, it is really tough to find top-loading buns in new orleans.
	12:19pm gf2002: Caught a movie free on YouTube last night called "The Day Of The Wolves", 1971 low budget heist flick with music by Sean Bonniwell from The Music Machine. I enjoyed it, and loved Bonniwell's guitar-heavy score. It felt like an influence on Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, especially how all the robbers were given numbers instead of names to protect the heist. And it also felt like it was influenced by The Thomas Crown Affair and how McQueen assembled all the crooks with specialties to do the job. I think it's worth a watch, especially on YouTube in decent quality.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 Wow, sounds quite interesting! Thanks for mentioning it.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 thanks - will be checking that!
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:18 I get it. It was an 11PM showing though.
	12:21pm tonyb: Saw “Goodbar” in original release in university. The quite unsettling finale is still vivid many years later.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:20 west coast game
	12:21pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:21 I thought so.
	12:23pm common: watched an australian film from 82 on criterion called next of kin. cant believe id never heard of it. quite nuts!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: I can, but it's tough on the left hand. I am a righty though.
	12:23pm clarke: can.
	12:23pm Hughie Considine: I can do it! Should I feel special?
	12:24pm P-90: I suspect the percentage is greater than one…
	12:24pm Doug in MP: I can do it on both hands, in front and back.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: ↳ common @12:23 Heard of that one! On the list.
	12:24pm clarke: see above
	12:24pm Mailman Tom: It's nonsense
	12:24pm The Chief: I can do it. I am a genius.
	12:24pm AB in Catskill: For the count - I can do it on both hands!
	12:24pm Noodle: I can only do it with my left hand!
	12:24pm Susan: Can on 👎👍🏼
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: Ok, who can do toes?
	12:24pm wenzo: Left hand is easy peasy… almost can’t do it with my right hand… (my dominant hand)
	12:24pm The Chief: Next of Kin is great!
	12:24pm Andres: Pinky to pointer misinformation!
	12:25pm egould: Pinky to pointer on both hands!
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 I can grab things between my big toes and my second toe, and I can move the second toe on my right foot independently of the others. Foot fetishists, you're welcome for the mental imagery.
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Oh Baby Doll" by "Kirby St. Romain" I feel like the New Wave Robert Johnson lifted this background vocal effect for his big hit, "I'll Be Waiting"
	12:26pm clarke: i saw Lifeboat for the first time when i wasn't a little kit. gosh, it's brilliant. and, also Yes Man ain't too bad.
	12:26pm AB in Catskill: I think that makes us all super special - I’ll take any excuse.
	12:26pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:25 Hahahhhahahahaha
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:25 Now that is probably more of a 1 percent type skill.
	12:26pm GeoSinPhilly: Can. Your suspicion is accurate. Probably connected to the gene that makes pee stink after eating asparagus.
	12:27pm Cooh John: A 1%er.
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:26 I had to work at it though. I think it was more of a learned skill.
	12:28pm clarke: on the not-so-great list: Life After Beth - but it tries hard.
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:26 Haven't seen that one. On the list!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:28 which?
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:28 Lifeboat. Looked up Life After Beth and doesn't seem to be my cuppa.
	12:30pm P-90: Lifeboat could be one of the most perfect movies ever. The story structure the dialog, the casting and performances, the visual content of literally every shot, and the cumulative effect all that immaculate work has on how the story is told.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:29 right! gosh, i have newfound respect for Tallulah Bankhead!! and of course bendix, one-der-ful
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:30 i never realized that Steinbeck wrote much of that!
	12:31pm gf2002: The last few months I've been binge watching 40's and 50's noirs and crime dramas on YouTube. Some great stuff available in good quality. One standout was "The Night Runner" from 1957, pretty heavy subject matter for its time. Worth watching.
	12:31pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 The "Talk Talk" Music Machine?
	12:31pm gf2002: ↳ Squints @12:31 Yes!
	12:31pm tonyb: Sir Alfred is pretty sharp too.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 yeah, youtube has some great stuff - but i have not seen Night Runner - again: thanks!
	12:32pm clarke: G G Sq
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ tonyb @12:31 yes, did you see his "appearance"??
	12:33pm Squints: ↳ wenzo @12:24 Never been especially limber. My fingers are so beat up now from twenty years of goalkeeping in a prior life that there ain't no way now.
	12:33pm tonyb: Watch close. Pretty subtle cameo appearance. : )
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:33 well, you can still BASS!
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ tonyb @12:33 yes, i did not catch it - heard later.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Being Around" by "Lemonheads, The" The most snot-centric lyric since "Aqualung."
	12:37pm clarke: two-fer.
	12:38pm Artie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 BoogersNotSnot
	12:38pm clarke: print the shirts.
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Artie @12:38 I tend to conflate the two.
	12:39pm P-90: Steinbeck wrote the original story. One of the reasons the movie is so good is that a considerable number of other writers wrote and rewrote all the parts of the script repeatedly in an effort to create the movie version that would best dramatize and flesh out Steinbeck’s story. The shooting script was the umpteenth draft that incorporated the best of the all the writers’ contributions.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:39 si.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:39 i was a neighbor of hume cronyn and jess tandy in their later life. good people!!
	12:42pm Artie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:38 I tend to inflate the latter.
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:41 Thank god. I don't think I could handle hearing that Hume and Jessica weren't completely delightful in real life.
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: This song is completely delightful.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:43 i rented a cottage on a farm, and they loved walking through and checking out the sheep. outside of orleans. on cape.
	12:46pm gf2002: Another YouTube find was "Violent Saturday" with Lee Marvin. Good movie, doesn't feel like a noir because it's filmed in color Cinemascope. Has a great role by Lee Marvin, and a miscast Ernest Borgnine playing an Amish farmer. If Victor Mature's main character weren't wealthy and successful it would have felt more like a noir story I think, but it was still a good watch, mostly for Marvin and the scenery.
	12:46pm clarke: Turntable One.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 another one, thanks! got a list going.
	12:48pm Bob Barth: Another fantastic show Mr. Shelly! You make my Saturday.
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: FIRST BASE - FREE: firstbase.bandcamp.com...
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:48 funny, I found a 'new music' link for this from pukenvomit records - oh well, it was the times
	12:50pm Dano59: and if I haven't been active here or only listening ... I've been trying to reconstruct the set list from Norah Jones & Mavis Staples last night
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 For me, a miscast Ernest Borgnine playing an Amish farmer sounds strangely appealing.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:51 seconded!
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:51 They should have made a whole movie about the Borgnine character. Warren Oates would have played the black sheep of the family.
	12:53pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the show! Been cranking up it outside, but… I think we just crossed the 90-degree F mark here so back to the indoor hi-fi
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:53 ernie's a mensch.
	12:57pm clarke: i don't see so good.
	12:57pm Faux Jean: This must be the end
	12:57pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:53 It is pretty amazing to see the range of characters Borgnine played in the early to mid 50's. His playing the Amish farmer was the same year he was in Marty! and in the same time he did Johnny Guitar and all the Westerns. A great Borgnine role is "The Mob" from '51. Great actor all around. It's just odd seeing him in the Amish role.
	12:57pm clarke: i'm just maintainin' my cool.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:57 I was just getting a little fanciful. He was one of the greats.
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Howlin' Jaws!
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: See you all with my nub, folks!
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been numb and stingy??
	12:58pm gf2002: Great show, thank you!

	11:10am tonyb: Boars Head makes a tasty dog.
	11:10am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:10 Oddly spiced salt.

	11:13am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "All Through The City" by "Dr. Feelgood" You have my attention!
	11:13am Squints: I've actually been a pretty humble bumble this week. Did most of my damage at Solid Sound in NW Mass last weekend. Grandkids started pulling in Tuesday so Pop has to be on good behavior. (On a Squints scale.)
	11:13am Mr. Jones: It's all about a natural casing on hot dogs for me. Almost none have it anymore.
	11:14am greg g: Go Wilko!
	11:14am Audiocarp: “Did you drop the hot dog in salt?!”
	11:14am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:13 I actually prefer Wilko to Wilco.
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:13 looking fwd to your reportage on SS.
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Audiocarp @11:14 "What? I thought it was a big radish."

	11:18am clarke: (i'm reading a russian novel)
	11:19am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "If The Good Lord's Willing And The Creek Don't Ri... Not about water.
	11:19am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:14 Tweedy was pretty focused and Wilco delivered hard both Friday & Saturday. (I heard in the past he's been wobbly; you know, gettin' Squintsy.) The Saturday night pentultimate act, Dry Cleaning (from the UK) was pretty good and we enjoyed a guy about 10 rows about bouncing his llama puppet. NL&LS were absolutement le merde chaud before that, as were The Young Fresh Fellows. Jason Isbell kicked ass Friday night. First time for me. (He was out of the DBTs by the time I started seeing them.) Band from Chicago called Horsegirl was a nice start to the Friday. All in all, a splendid time had by myself and some college buds. I regret missing Iris Dement on Sunday, but had to get back to Plymouth so the ladies could chase me.
	11:20am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Squints @11:19 "Le merde chaud"--love that!
	11:20am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "If The Good Lord's Willing And The Creek Don't Ri... Well. Maybe this one is. I stand corrected.
	11:21am Squints: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 Except in the sense that you don't miss it until...
	11:21am Hughie Considine: Sounds like someone had much more fun than I did these past few days. I just watched baseball and tried not to read the paper.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:19 sounds awesome - except for the llama puppet.
	11:22am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:19 Took me a little bit to realize that was John Perrin of NRBQ drumming for YFFs. I kinda knew that going in but it wasn't on mind until I thought, "I've SEEN that guy."
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 dude, get out of my brain!
	11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:21 What do you have against llama puppets? Oh, by the way, Peej says to say hi.
	11:22am Squints: ↳ Song: "Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song)" by "Lou Rawls" Don't he look balls, y'all.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 hi peej - i don't really like ANY puppets.
	11:23am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 Oh, no. The llama guy was awesome. Llama mighta gotten tired of the ride after a while.
	11:23am JG: ↳ Song: "Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song)" by "Lou Rawls" hard to top Otis, but Lou is pretty great here
	11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:23 lol
	11:24am clarke: and how is it so sad?
	11:24am Cooh John: Once interviewed Lou. Got a mainline of soul through my headphones.
	11:25am Hughie Considine: Lou Rawls...not to be confused with loo rolls.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:23 n. adams is a really cool town! ay?
	11:27am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 It was a nice hang. Beer lines were just long enough to keep people, including myself, from getting out of hand. I think I had like three pales or lagers each day.
	11:28am Squints: Red hots! Get your ice cold red hots!
	11:28am clarke: is this an election year? again?
	11:29am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:25 Got stuff goin' on, that's for sure. No ocean beach is strikes one and two for me, but if you don't need that, it's pretty cool.
	11:29am Gregosaurus: Upstate? Must have been Hoffmans. Legendary in Syracuse.
	11:30am gf2002: A different way to try hot dogs, courtesy the now defunct Limerick Diner: Cut the dog in half, then split it lengthwise. Put them flat and pan fry in butter or grill on a flat-top until browned. Serve on a toasted burger bun or toast with pickles on the side. (chef's kiss...)
	11:30am Squints: Is Hamilton College in Hamilton? I have a retired rocks professor buddy who teaches a course there every other semester.
	11:31am Joey C: Hello Michael and everyone listening
	11:31am Frank In Queens: I had three dogs on the 4th. Met my quota for the year.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: I just read an article that said, as good as grill marks look on a dog, the better way to grill 'em is to lay them vertically in the vents for greater surface area.
	11:31am clarke: The Green!
	11:31am Andres: Go Colgate Raiders!
	11:31am P-90: You SOLD your Harvey Pekar comic collection?!
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ P-90 @11:31 He needed a little comic relief.
	11:32am johnk77: ↳ Cooh John @11:24 talked to lou rawls at a hotel in new orleans 1984 good guy and a big fan of laura branigan
	11:32am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 I always do vertically in the vents, turn them 4 times and you get an even brown. Grill marks are overrated haha
	11:32am Squints: ↳ gf2002 @11:30 I'ma tell you right now, the butter part only sounds stupid. <homer drooling sound> I endorse the pickles but I don't put 'em on the side anymore. I'm a new man since discovering dill relish a dozen or so years ago. Just mainline that right on top with the brown mustard.
	11:32am clarke: ha ha
	11:32am Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @11:31 had them ALL
	11:33am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 👏
	11:33am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "She Was My Girl" by "Green" So Trump is a big fan too. I wonder if he heard them on this show?
	11:33am Dano59: ... always very coy with the details, Michael. Being in upstate NY myself, it is true that the farther from hipster loci you are, the better the record prices.
	11:33am Re6ecca: Wow, I grew up in Hamilton! Miss it! Colgate University is in Hamilton. My Mother used to type papers for the college students, a dollar per page back in the eighties!
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Andres @11:31 A Plymouth buddy's beautiful bride went to Colgate.
	11:34am Listener Baby: Baby. Tell your Harvey Pekar story.
	11:34am Miketp: Disappointed in Biden prep team.
	11:34am gf2002: ↳ Squints @11:32 It's just to keep them from sticking and it helps to brown them. Since my heart scare I use cooking spray more often but the butter is great...
	11:34am Gregosaurus: The white hot dogs were coneys, BTW.
	11:36am Squints: ↳ gf2002 @11:34 When finally relenting to a statin, I warned my primary care doctor that as regards butter, red meat and shellfish, she was giving me a license to fly. I'd like to live long. But I'm going to make sure I live well.
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ Gregosaurus @11:34 That's not what they called them
	11:36am Richard: Katz's hot dogs are indeed great, but don't pass up the knoblewurst. Pro tip: pay the extra buck for club bread.
	11:36am tonyb: Bo knows.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 The white ones were this: hofmannsausage.com...
	11:37am Moammar: I am imagining Jerome saying "Who are these white boys?"
	11:37am Squints: ↳ tonyb @11:36 <gretzky skates to camera, smiles and shakes his head> No.
	11:37am gf2002: ↳ Squints @11:36 Same here! And I can't give up my mayo.
	11:38am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:37 Didn't Eric Burdon allude broadly to that in "Story Of Bo Diddley?"
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Re6ecca @11:33 Does HOFFANN Hot Dogs ring a bell?
	11:39am clarke: apparently, they didn't ring YOUR bell!
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ManfredMann vs. Zombies DeathMatch. How's it look.
	11:39am Gregosaurus: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 Ah, same ones tho...coney's in my Dad's day's. Mainstay of Heid's in Liverpool, the Rutts Hut of central NY.
	11:40am gf2002: When I was in college and broke, we'd go to the convenience store and get what we called "condo dogs". 2 dogs for 1.29 or something, and load them with every condiment they had at the store. Mayo, ketchup, relish, onions, and whatever else. Piled ridiculously high. Probably took a few years off the ol' lifespan but they were tasty and filling.
	11:40am greg g: Leaping out of my cell phone! Good purchase Michael!!
	11:40am Mr. Jones: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 Natural casing, at least I'd like that part. The oversalting, not so much
	11:40am tonyb: Bo Jackson won me some dough on a Monday Night Football wager. First & last sporting bet win…
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:31 WHAT BRAND WERE YOUR DOGS - I find veggie dog technology is way beyond advances in fake burgers
	11:41am gf2002: That was Store 24 in Boston btw
	11:41am clarke: ↳ tonyb @11:40 guy was a double-baller.
	11:42am JG: Thuman's makes a good dog. Not overly salty. Big and juicy too
	11:42am clarke: (that didnt come out right)
	11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 Impossible. This bar up in Greenpoint has a vegan kitchen attached to it and they did a veggie dog special on Thursday. 3 varieties; Ballpark, Chili Slaw, and "Everything" which is "Seattle Style" apparently.
	11:42am Marko: Michael, there are two companies in Rochester, NY, that make white hot dogs -- Zweigle is the preeminent one. You didn't care for them. For many other people, Zweigle's white hots are delicious and unique, so much that people drive from distant points -- i.e. Montclair -- to devour them (Don's Original in Rochester is a longstanding hot-dog chain in Rochester offering white hots). Rochester-based Wegman's supermarkets, including one in northern NJ, carry Zeigle hots. Years ago, the Woodbridge Wegman's didn't carry white hots. Instead of the pinkish food coloring of regular hot dogs that are made of beef and/or pork or some vegetative stuff, Zweigle uses beef, pork and veal, and uses powdered milk to provide the white-ish tincture.
	11:43am Andres: Still pondering the intersection of Harvey Pekar comics and Trump pardonee. Crazy.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: To be frank, I'm relishing this conversation.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Veggie burgers too diverse to generalize. One might give the Pea Protein burgers with too much beet juice to simulate blood a chance ferinstance... I'd suggest microwaving Veggie Burgers & then merely scoring on a grill to not dry them out if you wanna join the grill scene...
	11:44am Christina Ginger: Zweigles white hots are the shit. So delicious. I would kill for a meatless white hot.
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 can you link me in?
	11:44am Christina Ginger: I grew up demanding them every summer, until I went veg.
	11:45am tonyb: : ) …actually Easy Goer paid me well when he won the Belmont
	11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 you kinda need to pile stuff on 'em
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:44 As long as you can cut the mustard.
	11:45am clarke: no, i WON!!!
	11:46am Ralph: Walter’s Hot Dogs in Mamaroneck is still open. They have a hot dog truck now too!
	11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 Pros And Cons Of More Meat like Veggie Burgers" Pro: Widely available and allows for most places to have some sort of vegetarian option. Con: The house-made veggie burger is a dying art.
	11:47am clarke: he works blue!
	11:47am gf2002: Two legendary dog stands: https://thenewverybest.com/ http://www.yoccos.com/
	11:48am dk50b: My dad possibly saved Walter's from a calamity. We lived in the apartments next door, and on a visit he noticed smoke coming from their old neon sign, which they hadn't realized.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 u down for Eng vs. Switzerland?
	11:49am Christina Ginger: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 Give me a veggie patty over beyond/impossible any day.
	11:49am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Road Of Brokenhearted Men" by "Bobby Bland" Bongo feet candidate right here.
	11:49am gf2002: Ketchup on hot dogs, yes or no? I'm a yes. Others find it offensive. Also love the sauerkraut piled high
	11:49am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:45 I like a good topping like everyone else, but I'm not one for over-doing it. The "everything" had cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and scallions. Not terrible, but also far from amazing.
	11:50am clarke: a snappy griller is a happy griller.
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:48 Gonna keep an eye on it. Gotta track my show before this evening's activities.
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ gf2002 @11:49 Yes, but must be accompanied by mustard.
	11:50am Gregosaurus: Never read the ingredients. It's too ghastly.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 gotcha. what are this evening's activities??
	11:51am Squints: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:49 Yeah. I don't need mustard and deli relish AND chili and cheese. I like some like this and some like that. I WOULD happily add pepperoncini or banana peppers to the mustard/dill combo.
	11:51am ChrisB.: Hoffman’s Hot Dogs are simply the finest. I will hear no more about it.
	11:51am clarke: you don't wanna know how the sausage is made.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:51 DJ night at a Mexican joint over in Jersey City.
	11:51am gf2002: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 Absolutely! And I actually prefer the plain yellow mustard but last night I used spicy brown on my dogs. No chili though.
	11:52am yippie: i get a couple of dog hots from the guy with a cart at cooper square when i want get juiced up for the hotdog gluttony contests
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" Oh. That Gordon.
	11:52am greg g: Was thinking the TV Personalities
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 noice, mate! i mean: bueno!
	11:52am Squints: ↳ gf2002 @11:49 Love kraut. Haven't put ketchup on anything since early grade school.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" Not enough songs like this.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:52 that Gerald.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @11:51 Yep. I'll do ketchup and mustard. Kraut and mustard. Chili and kraut. I can do without relish and onions and the more outlandish toppings.
	11:53am Andres: Hot dog toppings in threes. Ketchup mustard relish. Tomatoes avocado mayo. Mustard onions sauerkraut. Etc.
	11:53am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" At least he's not bitter about it...
	11:54am Andres: Ingerland v Switzerland on screen.
	11:54am Re6ecca: Great song!!
	11:54am random Control: that song was awesome!
	11:54am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Gordon is a Moron" by "Jilted John" This is not a recommendation for Britons indulging in rock 'n' roll.
	11:54am Hughie Considine: Yes, foiks, he's right once again: make your own hot dog onions!
	11:54am clarke: u guys don't know the joys of creole mustard on a good dog. and bell pepper!
	11:54am Christina Ginger: ↳ Squints @11:52 Anti Ketchup Club!
	11:54am evancuts: Listener "Frank" commenting about hot dogs?
	11:55am Frank In Queens: ↳ gf2002 @11:51 I prefer the yellow mustard as well. But I like a bit of variety as well from time to time.
	11:55am clarke: THE Smoke??
	11:55am oxnard: New York pushcart onion sauce gets my vote.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Song: "High In A Room" by "Smoke, The" good outfit! short-lived, actually.
	11:56am Mr. Jones: Future(2030) DJ's are training on the banter from today's show.
	11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ evancuts @11:54 It writes itself!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kraut supposed to be a superfood or something. I never got into it. Maybe someday...
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 lol
	11:57am gf2002: When there is sauerkraut on the dogs, I do ketchup and mustard in large quantities. No kraut, it's relish, ketchup, mustard, and sometimes mayo. If I have them on hand, diced onions. I only do yellow mustard or spicy brown. And a great side is deviled eggs.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 Fermented foods are a "thing". I hated kraut when I was a kid (probably because the kind we always had at home came out of a can). I've come to enjoy it quite a bit.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 there's a decent recipe to make yer own kraut on the youtube, but i keep looking at it, saying "i'll never do that"
	11:58am Christina Ginger: I had an impossible dog with cream cheese, scallions, and everything bagel seasoning on it the other nite, and it was very good.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: Anyone ever been to Happy Dog in Cleveland. Talk about outlandish toppings options!
	11:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Mess Under That Dress" by "Swamp Dogg" Been enjoying this latest from Mr. Dogg a lot. What can't he do?
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:58 No match for the tried and true combinations.
	11:59am Michael Shelley: I recommend this sauce for veggie burgers if you're looking for the take-out-burger experience: www.seriouseats.com...
	12:00pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Mess Under That Dress" by "Swamp Dogg" HOT DOG!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not too into Mayo - but got this Chosen Foods brand Chipotle flavor Mayo made with Avocado oil I'm enjoying.
	12:00pm clarke: creole mustard of choice: Zatarain's.
	12:00pm evancuts: During my young starving artist days right after college when I was working in midtown NYC I would go to the fixin's bar at Roy Rogers in Times Square and make a "hot dog salad" consisting of relish, saurkraut pickles, onions and mustard. Actually a very healthy lunch.
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:59 I do something similar at home from time to time. Definitely beats just straight-up ketchup.
	12:01pm DG: Wow, I thought Swamp Dogg was a blues guy, didn't know this was him. I think he's playing at a Rooftop Films show this week in Brooklyn.
	12:01pm Andres: Secret Sauce always wins.
	12:02pm clarke: creole mustard for the TRUE swamp dog.
	12:02pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:59 Kenji knows what he’s talking about, pretty much for anything.
	12:02pm gf2002: If you're visiting Maine, seek out Morse's Sauerkraut: https://www.morsessauerkraut.com/ It's pretty much in the wilderness, but worth the drive. They have a few dining tables and serve Schaller & Weber hot dogs...great place to visit.
	12:03pm paul: Most hot dog package are labeled FRANKS or FRANKFURTERS.
	12:03pm Hughie Considine: I can confirm that your Quaalude experience was not unique.
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: Luuuuuuuuds man.....
	12:03pm Cooh John: Qaaludes were the best.
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all.
	12:04pm Mailman Tom: Bo's best song, IMO
	12:04pm Christina Ginger: We just watched Looking for Mr. Goodbar last nite, and there is indeed a quaalude bit.
	12:04pm JG: I found 'ludes to be utterly fantastic
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: But it was the best time you've ever forgotten about.
	12:04pm clarke: dude!! you missed the dog talk!
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: Never did Qualuudes. I preferred booze and pretty much everything else. I'm not at all sure how I'm still alive. Lol
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 guess what everyone is eating for lunch, today?
	12:05pm gf2002: I heard from a guy name Klinger that a place called Tony Packo's in Toledo makes a great dog
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: I've been listening. Maybe I'll go find a veggie dog
	12:05pm Andres: In the package it’s a wiener. With the bun it’s a hot dog.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Too young for ludes, but was the right age for the all the new at the time pharmaceuticals of the late 90s. Some of my best and worst drug experiences. Wouldn't touch that shit now however, even though the docs push it on you for even the slightest bit of discomfort.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:05 not on my... RADAR.
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:05 Kilnger's dogs are a HONEYCUT about the rest!
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: Great National Lampoon cartoon of a hot dog reading a piece of mail that says, YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WIENER.
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:07 Meh, spelled it wrong.
	12:07pm clarke: ha ha
	12:07pm gf2002: FRANK Burns would agree...
	12:09pm Andres: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:04 Recommended viewing?
	12:09pm clarke: TWIGS
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assembled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️
	12:09pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "They Don't Know How To Fall In Place" by "Lemon T... Gotta say...this song is in the running for best song of the year so far. They did a live acoustic performance a few weeks ago and covered Red Rubber Ball - Really cool to hear that. Love this record.
	12:09pm tonyb: Rorers or Sopers (714s). Valium was a more subtle substitute.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:02 yeah - he does the work
	12:10pm clarke: something to put your hot lips on.
	12:11pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "They Don't Know How To Fall In Place" by "Lemon T... The Twigs channeled Leon Russell for the keyboard work on this track, perfect tribute to those Gary Lewis hits. Love it.
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @12:09 The fact that it's not an easy film to find makes it worth it alone. But yes, I would recommend it. Not a pleasant movie, but a good movie IMO.
	12:12pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Andres @12:09 If you can get your hands on it, yes. It was on TCM last nite, so you might be able to watch it on their site if you have cable.
	12:12pm clarke: oh.... is it MOVIETIME?!?
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:12 Sadly, all the movies from last night are on the TCM site EXCEPT for Goodbar, which is not surprising.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:12 i don't remember that flick being so good, but missed the broadcast last night.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:13 there's a decent line-up tonight!
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:12 Seems like it! This week was the aforementioned "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" and "New York, New York" which I did not care for.
	12:14pm gf2002: From Morse's in Maine: https://mail.morsessauerkraut.com/restaurant.html "Kraut Balls" - Sauerkraut, pork, bacon, cheese, rolled in Panko and deep fried. Served with 1,000 Island for dipping. Now that's an appetizer! Delicious.
	12:15pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @12:13 It’s tough to watch at times, especially as a female. But I thought Diane Keaton did a fantastic job in portraying the duality of her character.
	12:15pm tonyb: Usually when films disappear/are hard to find, it’s an issue with the producer(s).
	12:15pm Andres: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:12 I’ve heard of it forever but only just looked it up when you mentioned it. Heavy subject matter.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 yeah, i checked for a second.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:15 will re-visit sometime.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ tonyb @12:15 In this case, it's a music rights issue. Lots of big hits from the era in the movie and I guess clearance for all of them is not worth the effort or money for the studio.
	12:17pm Cooh John: Klinger's hot dogs are real. Tony Packo's Hungarian hotdogs. Half of a sausage. The place had a Dixieland jazz band on the weekends. I have eaten my share. 🌭
	12:17pm tonyb: ✅
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @12:15 I couldn't believe that they were showing it last night. It was a must watch just because I didn't know if I'd ever get another opportunity to see it.
	12:17pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Andres @12:15 Supposedly Madonna made a music video that references it? I have never see it, though: m.youtube.com...
	12:18pm Andres: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 To the vhs bins! Although my local thrift stores don’t even bother with them anymore.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 i probably shoulda watched it - but bezboll u know?
	12:19pm clarke: also, it is really tough to find top-loading buns in new orleans.
	12:19pm gf2002: Caught a movie free on YouTube last night called "The Day Of The Wolves", 1971 low budget heist flick with music by Sean Bonniwell from The Music Machine. I enjoyed it, and loved Bonniwell's guitar-heavy score. It felt like an influence on Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, especially how all the robbers were given numbers instead of names to protect the heist. And it also felt like it was influenced by The Thomas Crown Affair and how McQueen assembled all the crooks with specialties to do the job. I think it's worth a watch, especially on YouTube in decent quality.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 Wow, sounds quite interesting! Thanks for mentioning it.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 thanks - will be checking that!
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:18 I get it. It was an 11PM showing though.
	12:21pm tonyb: Saw “Goodbar” in original release in university. The quite unsettling finale is still vivid many years later.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:20 west coast game
	12:21pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:21 I thought so.
	12:23pm common: watched an australian film from 82 on criterion called next of kin. cant believe id never heard of it. quite nuts!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: I can, but it's tough on the left hand. I am a righty though.
	12:23pm clarke: can.
	12:23pm Hughie Considine: I can do it! Should I feel special?
	12:24pm P-90: I suspect the percentage is greater than one…
	12:24pm Doug in MP: I can do it on both hands, in front and back.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: ↳ common @12:23 Heard of that one! On the list.
	12:24pm clarke: see above
	12:24pm Mailman Tom: It's nonsense
	12:24pm The Chief: I can do it. I am a genius.
	12:24pm AB in Catskill: For the count - I can do it on both hands!
	12:24pm Noodle: I can only do it with my left hand!
	12:24pm Susan: Can on 👎👍🏼
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: Ok, who can do toes?
	12:24pm wenzo: Left hand is easy peasy… almost can’t do it with my right hand… (my dominant hand)
	12:24pm The Chief: Next of Kin is great!
	12:24pm Andres: Pinky to pointer misinformation!
	12:25pm egould: Pinky to pointer on both hands!
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 I can grab things between my big toes and my second toe, and I can move the second toe on my right foot independently of the others. Foot fetishists, you're welcome for the mental imagery.
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Oh Baby Doll" by "Kirby St. Romain" I feel like the New Wave Robert Johnson lifted this background vocal effect for his big hit, "I'll Be Waiting"
	12:26pm clarke: i saw Lifeboat for the first time when i wasn't a little kit. gosh, it's brilliant. and, also Yes Man ain't too bad.
	12:26pm AB in Catskill: I think that makes us all super special - I’ll take any excuse.
	12:26pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:25 Hahahhhahahahaha
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:25 Now that is probably more of a 1 percent type skill.
	12:26pm GeoSinPhilly: Can. Your suspicion is accurate. Probably connected to the gene that makes pee stink after eating asparagus.
	12:27pm Cooh John: A 1%er.
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:26 I had to work at it though. I think it was more of a learned skill.
	12:28pm clarke: on the not-so-great list: Life After Beth - but it tries hard.
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:26 Haven't seen that one. On the list!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:28 which?
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:28 Lifeboat. Looked up Life After Beth and doesn't seem to be my cuppa.
	12:30pm P-90: Lifeboat could be one of the most perfect movies ever. The story structure the dialog, the casting and performances, the visual content of literally every shot, and the cumulative effect all that immaculate work has on how the story is told.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:29 right! gosh, i have newfound respect for Tallulah Bankhead!! and of course bendix, one-der-ful
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:30 i never realized that Steinbeck wrote much of that!
	12:31pm gf2002: The last few months I've been binge watching 40's and 50's noirs and crime dramas on YouTube. Some great stuff available in good quality. One standout was "The Night Runner" from 1957, pretty heavy subject matter for its time. Worth watching.
	12:31pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 The "Talk Talk" Music Machine?
	12:31pm gf2002: ↳ Squints @12:31 Yes!
	12:31pm tonyb: Sir Alfred is pretty sharp too.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 yeah, youtube has some great stuff - but i have not seen Night Runner - again: thanks!
	12:32pm clarke: G G Sq
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ tonyb @12:31 yes, did you see his "appearance"??
	12:33pm Squints: ↳ wenzo @12:24 Never been especially limber. My fingers are so beat up now from twenty years of goalkeeping in a prior life that there ain't no way now.
	12:33pm tonyb: Watch close. Pretty subtle cameo appearance. : )
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:33 well, you can still BASS!
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ tonyb @12:33 yes, i did not catch it - heard later.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Being Around" by "Lemonheads, The" The most snot-centric lyric since "Aqualung."
	12:37pm clarke: two-fer.
	12:38pm Artie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 BoogersNotSnot
	12:38pm clarke: print the shirts.
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Artie @12:38 I tend to conflate the two.
	12:39pm P-90: Steinbeck wrote the original story. One of the reasons the movie is so good is that a considerable number of other writers wrote and rewrote all the parts of the script repeatedly in an effort to create the movie version that would best dramatize and flesh out Steinbeck’s story. The shooting script was the umpteenth draft that incorporated the best of the all the writers’ contributions.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:39 si.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:39 i was a neighbor of hume cronyn and jess tandy in their later life. good people!!
	12:42pm Artie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:38 I tend to inflate the latter.
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:41 Thank god. I don't think I could handle hearing that Hume and Jessica weren't completely delightful in real life.
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: This song is completely delightful.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:43 i rented a cottage on a farm, and they loved walking through and checking out the sheep. outside of orleans. on cape.
	12:46pm gf2002: Another YouTube find was "Violent Saturday" with Lee Marvin. Good movie, doesn't feel like a noir because it's filmed in color Cinemascope. Has a great role by Lee Marvin, and a miscast Ernest Borgnine playing an Amish farmer. If Victor Mature's main character weren't wealthy and successful it would have felt more like a noir story I think, but it was still a good watch, mostly for Marvin and the scenery.
	12:46pm clarke: Turntable One.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 another one, thanks! got a list going.
	12:48pm Bob Barth: Another fantastic show Mr. Shelly! You make my Saturday.
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: FIRST BASE - FREE: firstbase.bandcamp.com...
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:48 funny, I found a 'new music' link for this from pukenvomit records - oh well, it was the times
	12:50pm Dano59: and if I haven't been active here or only listening ... I've been trying to reconstruct the set list from Norah Jones & Mavis Staples last night
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 For me, a miscast Ernest Borgnine playing an Amish farmer sounds strangely appealing.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:51 seconded!
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:51 They should have made a whole movie about the Borgnine character. Warren Oates would have played the black sheep of the family.
	12:53pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the show! Been cranking up it outside, but… I think we just crossed the 90-degree F mark here so back to the indoor hi-fi
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:53 ernie's a mensch.
	12:57pm clarke: i don't see so good.
	12:57pm Faux Jean: This must be the end
	12:57pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:53 It is pretty amazing to see the range of characters Borgnine played in the early to mid 50's. His playing the Amish farmer was the same year he was in Marty! and in the same time he did Johnny Guitar and all the Westerns. A great Borgnine role is "The Mob" from '51. Great actor all around. It's just odd seeing him in the Amish role.
	12:57pm clarke: i'm just maintainin' my cool.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:57 I was just getting a little fanciful. He was one of the greats.
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Howlin' Jaws!
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: See you all with my nub, folks!
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been numb and stingy??
	12:58pm gf2002: Great show, thank you!
