Listener comments!
	11:34am Parq: Here's to 'em. chicago.barstoolsports.com...
	11:37am Uncle Michael: Philly...whatcha gonna do?
	11:56am βrian: What would Steve Goodman say?
	11:58am Uncle Michael: He'll probably weigh-in.
	11:59am hyde: this is gonna be three hours of Cub Koda and Wrigley's gum jingles, isn't it
	12:02pm βrian: Is a prairie turnip a pooty root?
	12:02pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM! Someone boost me up on top of this mailbox so I can get a better view of the parade!
	12:02pm Lewis: Hey UM - who won the world series?
	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: The Beard speaks!
	12:04pm burke: Hey Chicago, waddya say?
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: So here at the office, there is a meeting room set up with video live coverage of the parade. There are a few people in there now, sitting at the tables doing their work on their laptops.
	12:04pm βrian: City of big-ass shoulders, yo.
	12:05pm Stanley: Congratulations on the ahem World Series
	12:05pm Lizardner Dave: Congratulations UM, so happy for you and all the Cubs fans I know (especially the one I married).
	12:05pm Webhamster Henry: Might as well Jump.
	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: I think Brian in U.K. asked about time changes. YEs, we gain an hour this weekend.
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: Catharsis is a bitch!
	12:06pm Parq: This is how I feel about a whole lot of things.
	12:06pm chromaphone: Congrats UM.
	12:07pm Dean: I have to play this for my kid's baseball team. Teach the little fuckers about sportsmanship.
	12:07pm βrian: Ah, the 15-percenters!
	12:07pm hyde: this is an epic rant
	12:07pm Sue P.: Is this a Chicago tribute or a Cubs tribute show?
	12:07pm Alex In Illinois: We could not stay up late enough to watch the 10th inning, so we listened to it on the radio.
	12:08pm βrian: @Sue P: I would guess yes.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Just this set, Sue.
	12:09pm Sue P.: k, as a CLE person I'll be back a bit later. :P
	12:10pm Artie Haywire: Enjoying this!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Parq! Brian! hyde! Bob! Doug! Alex burke! Stanley! Chrome! Sue! Artie!
	12:11pm Matt in Nebraska: I was hoping it was Cubs for the full 3 hours!
	12:11pm Alex In Illinois: The plumbers' union dyed the Chicago River blue this morning. The Chicago River used to be toxic, but about 10 years ago its status was upgraded to "polluted".
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Retiring these next two songs...forever.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Chicago for three hours, Matt. Like the opening?
	12:13pm listener jeff: I got to go to Wrigley in 1994. Three day games. Caught a batting practice home run. Harry Caray's first game back after an illness. Ryne Sandberg inducted into the walk of fame. Was on national TV dancing to the horn band in left field. And two Dead shows at Soldier Field in the evening. A weekend I will never forget!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:15pm Parq: And he did die. I still miss him.
	12:15pm Matt in Nebraska: The top of the show was cool. Whenever I hear "Jump", I think Cubs. '84 was a heartbreaker of a year but it's part of what led me on this path.
	12:16pm Doug Schulkind: Bless you, Steve Goodman.
	12:16pm Dean: Chicago for three hours? Gonna play the entire live album?
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: Congrats on your Cubbies, @UM! As a (former) New Englander/Sox fan, I have some sense of your joy.
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: Theo Epstein should try to get a book deal right about now.
	12:22pm hyde: Theo Epstein should set his sights higher, like fixing global warming
	12:22pm Doug Schulkind: Theo Epstein's grandfather (and his twin brother) wrote the screenplay for Casablanca.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: I can't tell, think UM is happy?... (hope for The Jets after all, only been about 50 years).
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:28pm βrian: I once did a bike ride up Lakeshore, along with about 300 other folks.
	12:29pm Lizardner Dave: Will "Song for the Dreamers" make the cut?
	12:29pm chromaphone: That was the Kodachrome progression on Lake Shore Dr, methinks.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Paul Simon steals everything.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	12:33pm Marie: Hey UM, thanks for this! I live in Chicago and grew up here (but moving to NYC soon!) and I was a hardcore cubs fan from about age 4 or 5 until they traded Bill Matlock; when I saw them make yet another decision based on money not baseball. Then they were bought by the Tribune company that just treated them like another aspect of their portfolio--no need to invest in them they were making enough $ with cable deals and beer sales. So I am no longer a fan but I am very happy for the fans and the city. Your tribute is great!
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Marie!
	12:34pm listener james from westwood: Trip to Chicago likely for 2019, for a copy editors' conference. Very much looking forward to it as my first visit was all too brief and plagued with meetings.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: James!
	12:36pm Marie: HI James, I'm a fellow copyeditor (I know we "talked" here before about it :>] ). I hope the conference isn't in Jan or Feb.
	12:36pm βrian: When, as a kid, I discovered the Tigers' baseball players weren't necessarily from Detroit, or even Michigan, I lost interest. I mean, what's the connection, really?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: What time of year is the conference? And are the Chicago Elements of Style going to be under siege?
	12:38pm Alex In Illinois: My dad was a copyeditor for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But he also did a lot of "stringer" work.
	12:39pm βrian: I didn't know these guys had a pre-twee era!
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: Late March, which could be interesting weather wise in NJ and IL both. I very much expect to see the U of Chicago editorial crew there in full force. With any luck, they'll announce the next version of the Chicago Manual of Style at our very conference!
	12:41pm βrian: I've heard good things about the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, but I haven't made it there yet.
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: Who the hell in Chicago is buying Jeter Magazine?! Oh, _Cheetah._ I got ya.
	12:42pm Webhamster Henry: What about that big pull-out poster of Mama Cass?
	12:46pm ndbob: I listened to WCFL and WLS at night growing up WLS for world's largest store
	12:47pm Webhamster Henry: My Hometown: www.youtube.com...
	12:49pm βrian: We used to pick up WLS AM in Flint on occasion.
	12:50pm chromaphone: I used to listen to so many 50s songs about high school and was so psyched to go, and then I went and it totally sucked.
	12:50pm ndbob: din't think I've heard the Chicago version of this before -28 versions of High School USA plus th eoriginal
	12:50pm Dean: Did Turabian found the Chicago Manual, or did she just excerpt it?
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Henry: smallproblem.com...
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:54pm listener james from westwood: @Dean: CMS preceded her by a few years; she appears to have based her guide on it w/ an orientation toward dissertation authors.
	12:56pm Dean: @ljfw: Her guide was my introduction to "style." Soon, I graduated to CMoS.
	12:59pm hyde: no one told me there would be a discussion of rules of style. i hope there's no pop quiz!
	1:00pm hyde: (especially since i tend to fail on capitalization)
	1:01pm Alex In Illinois: That Cheetah number had some stereo effects.
	1:01pm Parq: We had a Cheetah in New York, too. I remember that it was right around the corner from my dad's workplace. It apparently went salsa, and was featured in the movie "Our Latin Thing".
	1:10pm Alex In Illinois: Mark Mothersbaugh had a "My Home Town" song about Akron. But I always think of the Tom Lehrer one.
	🛒 1:10pm Brian in UK: Hello happy smiling Uncle. Tom waits for no man.
	1:11pm Dean: Apropos of the Chicago theme, maybe Rahm Emanuel can work out a way to fill the WFMU coffers...
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Tom, time and tide...
	1:18pm Parq: Ah. I wondered.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Wonder no more.
	1:20pm listener jeff: This may be one of my favorite albums
	1:21pm Parq: Abbie Hoffman sang "Chicago" on this album. I have it second-hand that it was not the Nash song, but the more familiar "That Toddlin' Town" one. www.discogs.com...
	1:23pm Stanley: Toad?
	1:24pm hyde: dang, lost my internet there for a good while. i bet i missed all the good stuff.
	1:26pm βrian: You oughta have a few Vivian Maier pics, UM, since you're on the theme of Chicago nostalgia.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: Stanley has anyone ever made a beer yet called The Hangmans Beautiful Beverage.
	🛒 1:27pm Brian in UK: SWOON
	1:27pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Monica on the wheels of steel!
	1:28pm Dean: The Crying Shames played in Chicago as recently as 1987 late in July at Petersen Park on the same night Peter Gabriel played Poplar Creek Music Theater.
	1:33pm Stanley: Brian - the most extreme name has to be Skull Splitter from Orkney
	1:34pm Stanley: And that's my cue. Sayonara gang.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Stanley.
	🛒 1:37pm Brian in UK: With you in spirit, Stanley.
	1:38pm JP from KC: CUBBIES!!! Greetings from Cloud 9, everyone. I've been waiting for this show all week!
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: JP!
	1:40pm Dean: A counterfactual: What would you have played had they not won?
	1:42pm Jeff Golick: I often think of Liz Phair's opening lines of "Stratford-on-Guy," for no particular reason: "I was flying into Chicago at night..."
	1:42pm JP from KC: UM! Still recovering from Wednesday night's celebration? I know I am, and I get to do it all over again when I see my Dad and Brother for Thanksgiving! I'm pretty sure I'll be drinking to the Cubs right up until opening day 2017.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Same show, Dean...pretty much. It's a season to celebrate in any case.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: I'm recovered...physically. I was up till two...then up at six.
	1:47pm JP from KC: Ugh. I can't imagine. I had a fun time trying to strongly insinuate to my boss that I'd probably have to call in sick on Thursday.
	1:53pm Dean: Week ending Feb. 2, 1967, comes closest, with a little adjustment of the order.
	1:54pm Dean: http://bit.ly/2em17Fn
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: That's the book I've got, Dean.
	1:57pm Dean: Let's see: I was wrapping up second grade with Mrs. Jenkins. Fast forward to the mid-to-late-'90s, I'm on my undergrad college's alumni board at an event where new members introduce themselves. One announces, "I'm Barbara Jenkins, and I was Dean's second grade teacher." No kidding.
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: JP, I told my boss that win or lose, I'd be useless on Thursday...and I was.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's great!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: How 'bout King Oliver!
	2:02pm doctorjazz: (needs to have Chicago in the title, I know.)
	2:04pm ndbob: great set here UM!
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob.
	🛒 2:22pm KevinfromBayRidge: Mazel Tov, Unc. Are we gonna here any songs about city consuming Aubergines?
	2:24pm Doug Schulkind: Speaking of monkey women, my wife is from Chicago. Ka-POW!
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: It almost made the cut. I decided to make Parmagana instead.
	2:26pm chromaphone: I'm getting anxious every time the chorus chimes in.
	🛒 2:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: Too bad....Bill Kelly fave... But what does he know about BB teams?!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: He looks like a Yankees fan to me.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: BTW, thank you, Kevin!
	🛒 2:31pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yup... A distinct minority amongst FMU staff!
	2:32pm Dean: Hawkwind has a song about an aubergine that ate Rangoon.
	2:34pm hyde: a crab rangoon?
	2:41pm chromaphone: oh yea.
	2:50pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. I appreciate you folks indulging my little fetishes.
	2:51pm βrian: Recall Scott Walker.
	2:52pm listener james from westwood: A few million years of hominid existence and we were lucky enough to get the years when Scott Walker was around. A bright thought to stash for a down day.
	2:52pm hyde: oh no, i had this song stuck in my head for like an entire day last week. i love this song, but please don't get stuck in my head again!
	2:53pm Dean: What was the final score, anyway? 25 or 6 to 4?
	2:55pm ndbob: ever hear Big Maybelle'a version of this?
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: no!
	🛒 2:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great shew... Hope we don't hafta wait too long for the cubbies or Metsie.s to do it agin Thanks foe dis one!
	2:56pm ndbob: www.youtube.com...
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: I love this terrible goddam song.
	2:59pm Lizardner Dave: This song makes me smile every time. And I'm a Yankees fan.
	2:59pm βrian: It has a little N.O. tinge, to it, though.
	3:00pm hyde: thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks a ton, UM!
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: Congratulations, Uncle Michael!
	3:02pm Parq: One of your best shows ever, UM. Not surprising, given the subject matter. I really am very happy for you and all Cubbies fans. Keep celebrating all weekend and all year.
	3:02pm Dean: "Frisco! Frisco! Frisco!"
	3:02pm hyde: Bostonians hate Beantown too, for the record
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 4, 2016

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	11:34am Parq: Here's to 'em. chicago.barstoolsports.com...
	11:37am Uncle Michael: Philly...whatcha gonna do?
	11:56am βrian: What would Steve Goodman say?
	11:58am Uncle Michael: He'll probably weigh-in.
	11:59am hyde: this is gonna be three hours of Cub Koda and Wrigley's gum jingles, isn't it
	12:02pm βrian: Is a prairie turnip a pooty root?
	12:02pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM! Someone boost me up on top of this mailbox so I can get a better view of the parade!
	12:02pm Lewis: Hey UM - who won the world series?
	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: The Beard speaks!
	12:04pm burke: Hey Chicago, waddya say?
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: So here at the office, there is a meeting room set up with video live coverage of the parade. There are a few people in there now, sitting at the tables doing their work on their laptops.
	12:04pm βrian: City of big-ass shoulders, yo.
	12:05pm Stanley: Congratulations on the ahem World Series
	12:05pm Lizardner Dave: Congratulations UM, so happy for you and all the Cubs fans I know (especially the one I married).
	12:05pm Webhamster Henry: Might as well Jump.
	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: I think Brian in U.K. asked about time changes. YEs, we gain an hour this weekend.
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: Catharsis is a bitch!
	12:06pm Parq: This is how I feel about a whole lot of things.
	12:06pm chromaphone: Congrats UM.
	12:07pm Dean: I have to play this for my kid's baseball team. Teach the little fuckers about sportsmanship.
	12:07pm βrian: Ah, the 15-percenters!
	12:07pm hyde: this is an epic rant
	12:07pm Sue P.: Is this a Chicago tribute or a Cubs tribute show?
	12:07pm Alex In Illinois: We could not stay up late enough to watch the 10th inning, so we listened to it on the radio.
	12:08pm βrian: @Sue P: I would guess yes.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Just this set, Sue.
	12:09pm Sue P.: k, as a CLE person I'll be back a bit later. :P
	12:10pm Artie Haywire: Enjoying this!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Parq! Brian! hyde! Bob! Doug! Alex burke! Stanley! Chrome! Sue! Artie!
	12:11pm Matt in Nebraska: I was hoping it was Cubs for the full 3 hours!
	12:11pm Alex In Illinois: The plumbers' union dyed the Chicago River blue this morning. The Chicago River used to be toxic, but about 10 years ago its status was upgraded to "polluted".
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Retiring these next two songs...forever.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Chicago for three hours, Matt. Like the opening?
	12:13pm listener jeff: I got to go to Wrigley in 1994. Three day games. Caught a batting practice home run. Harry Caray's first game back after an illness. Ryne Sandberg inducted into the walk of fame. Was on national TV dancing to the horn band in left field. And two Dead shows at Soldier Field in the evening. A weekend I will never forget!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:15pm Parq: And he did die. I still miss him.
	12:15pm Matt in Nebraska: The top of the show was cool. Whenever I hear "Jump", I think Cubs. '84 was a heartbreaker of a year but it's part of what led me on this path.
	12:16pm Doug Schulkind: Bless you, Steve Goodman.
	12:16pm Dean: Chicago for three hours? Gonna play the entire live album?
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: Congrats on your Cubbies, @UM! As a (former) New Englander/Sox fan, I have some sense of your joy.
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: Theo Epstein should try to get a book deal right about now.
	12:22pm hyde: Theo Epstein should set his sights higher, like fixing global warming
	12:22pm Doug Schulkind: Theo Epstein's grandfather (and his twin brother) wrote the screenplay for Casablanca.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: I can't tell, think UM is happy?... (hope for The Jets after all, only been about 50 years).
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:28pm βrian: I once did a bike ride up Lakeshore, along with about 300 other folks.
	12:29pm Lizardner Dave: Will "Song for the Dreamers" make the cut?
	12:29pm chromaphone: That was the Kodachrome progression on Lake Shore Dr, methinks.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Paul Simon steals everything.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	12:33pm Marie: Hey UM, thanks for this! I live in Chicago and grew up here (but moving to NYC soon!) and I was a hardcore cubs fan from about age 4 or 5 until they traded Bill Matlock; when I saw them make yet another decision based on money not baseball. Then they were bought by the Tribune company that just treated them like another aspect of their portfolio--no need to invest in them they were making enough $ with cable deals and beer sales. So I am no longer a fan but I am very happy for the fans and the city. Your tribute is great!
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Marie!
	12:34pm listener james from westwood: Trip to Chicago likely for 2019, for a copy editors' conference. Very much looking forward to it as my first visit was all too brief and plagued with meetings.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: James!
	12:36pm Marie: HI James, I'm a fellow copyeditor (I know we "talked" here before about it :>] ). I hope the conference isn't in Jan or Feb.
	12:36pm βrian: When, as a kid, I discovered the Tigers' baseball players weren't necessarily from Detroit, or even Michigan, I lost interest. I mean, what's the connection, really?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: What time of year is the conference? And are the Chicago Elements of Style going to be under siege?
	12:38pm Alex In Illinois: My dad was a copyeditor for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But he also did a lot of "stringer" work.
	12:39pm βrian: I didn't know these guys had a pre-twee era!
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: Late March, which could be interesting weather wise in NJ and IL both. I very much expect to see the U of Chicago editorial crew there in full force. With any luck, they'll announce the next version of the Chicago Manual of Style at our very conference!
	12:41pm βrian: I've heard good things about the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, but I haven't made it there yet.
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: Who the hell in Chicago is buying Jeter Magazine?! Oh, _Cheetah._ I got ya.
	12:42pm Webhamster Henry: What about that big pull-out poster of Mama Cass?
	12:46pm ndbob: I listened to WCFL and WLS at night growing up WLS for world's largest store
	12:47pm Webhamster Henry: My Hometown: www.youtube.com...
	12:49pm βrian: We used to pick up WLS AM in Flint on occasion.
	12:50pm chromaphone: I used to listen to so many 50s songs about high school and was so psyched to go, and then I went and it totally sucked.
	12:50pm ndbob: din't think I've heard the Chicago version of this before -28 versions of High School USA plus th eoriginal
	12:50pm Dean: Did Turabian found the Chicago Manual, or did she just excerpt it?
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Henry: smallproblem.com...
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:54pm listener james from westwood: @Dean: CMS preceded her by a few years; she appears to have based her guide on it w/ an orientation toward dissertation authors.
	12:56pm Dean: @ljfw: Her guide was my introduction to "style." Soon, I graduated to CMoS.
	12:59pm hyde: no one told me there would be a discussion of rules of style. i hope there's no pop quiz!
	1:00pm hyde: (especially since i tend to fail on capitalization)
	1:01pm Alex In Illinois: That Cheetah number had some stereo effects.
	1:01pm Parq: We had a Cheetah in New York, too. I remember that it was right around the corner from my dad's workplace. It apparently went salsa, and was featured in the movie "Our Latin Thing".
	1:10pm Alex In Illinois: Mark Mothersbaugh had a "My Home Town" song about Akron. But I always think of the Tom Lehrer one.
	🛒 1:10pm Brian in UK: Hello happy smiling Uncle. Tom waits for no man.
	1:11pm Dean: Apropos of the Chicago theme, maybe Rahm Emanuel can work out a way to fill the WFMU coffers...
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Tom, time and tide...
	1:18pm Parq: Ah. I wondered.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Wonder no more.
	1:20pm listener jeff: This may be one of my favorite albums
	1:21pm Parq: Abbie Hoffman sang "Chicago" on this album. I have it second-hand that it was not the Nash song, but the more familiar "That Toddlin' Town" one. www.discogs.com...
	1:23pm Stanley: Toad?
	1:24pm hyde: dang, lost my internet there for a good while. i bet i missed all the good stuff.
	1:26pm βrian: You oughta have a few Vivian Maier pics, UM, since you're on the theme of Chicago nostalgia.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: Stanley has anyone ever made a beer yet called The Hangmans Beautiful Beverage.
	🛒 1:27pm Brian in UK: SWOON
	1:27pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Monica on the wheels of steel!
	1:28pm Dean: The Crying Shames played in Chicago as recently as 1987 late in July at Petersen Park on the same night Peter Gabriel played Poplar Creek Music Theater.
	1:33pm Stanley: Brian - the most extreme name has to be Skull Splitter from Orkney
	1:34pm Stanley: And that's my cue. Sayonara gang.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Stanley.
	🛒 1:37pm Brian in UK: With you in spirit, Stanley.
	1:38pm JP from KC: CUBBIES!!! Greetings from Cloud 9, everyone. I've been waiting for this show all week!
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: JP!
	1:40pm Dean: A counterfactual: What would you have played had they not won?
	1:42pm Jeff Golick: I often think of Liz Phair's opening lines of "Stratford-on-Guy," for no particular reason: "I was flying into Chicago at night..."
	1:42pm JP from KC: UM! Still recovering from Wednesday night's celebration? I know I am, and I get to do it all over again when I see my Dad and Brother for Thanksgiving! I'm pretty sure I'll be drinking to the Cubs right up until opening day 2017.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Same show, Dean...pretty much. It's a season to celebrate in any case.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: I'm recovered...physically. I was up till two...then up at six.
	1:47pm JP from KC: Ugh. I can't imagine. I had a fun time trying to strongly insinuate to my boss that I'd probably have to call in sick on Thursday.
	1:53pm Dean: Week ending Feb. 2, 1967, comes closest, with a little adjustment of the order.
	1:54pm Dean: http://bit.ly/2em17Fn
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: That's the book I've got, Dean.
	1:57pm Dean: Let's see: I was wrapping up second grade with Mrs. Jenkins. Fast forward to the mid-to-late-'90s, I'm on my undergrad college's alumni board at an event where new members introduce themselves. One announces, "I'm Barbara Jenkins, and I was Dean's second grade teacher." No kidding.
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: JP, I told my boss that win or lose, I'd be useless on Thursday...and I was.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's great!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: How 'bout King Oliver!
	2:02pm doctorjazz: (needs to have Chicago in the title, I know.)
	2:04pm ndbob: great set here UM!
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob.
	🛒 2:22pm KevinfromBayRidge: Mazel Tov, Unc. Are we gonna here any songs about city consuming Aubergines?
	2:24pm Doug Schulkind: Speaking of monkey women, my wife is from Chicago. Ka-POW!
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: It almost made the cut. I decided to make Parmagana instead.
	2:26pm chromaphone: I'm getting anxious every time the chorus chimes in.
	🛒 2:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: Too bad....Bill Kelly fave... But what does he know about BB teams?!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: He looks like a Yankees fan to me.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: BTW, thank you, Kevin!
	🛒 2:31pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yup... A distinct minority amongst FMU staff!
	2:32pm Dean: Hawkwind has a song about an aubergine that ate Rangoon.
	2:34pm hyde: a crab rangoon?
	2:41pm chromaphone: oh yea.
	2:50pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. I appreciate you folks indulging my little fetishes.
	2:51pm βrian: Recall Scott Walker.
	2:52pm listener james from westwood: A few million years of hominid existence and we were lucky enough to get the years when Scott Walker was around. A bright thought to stash for a down day.
	2:52pm hyde: oh no, i had this song stuck in my head for like an entire day last week. i love this song, but please don't get stuck in my head again!
	2:53pm Dean: What was the final score, anyway? 25 or 6 to 4?
	2:55pm ndbob: ever hear Big Maybelle'a version of this?
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: no!
	🛒 2:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great shew... Hope we don't hafta wait too long for the cubbies or Metsie.s to do it agin Thanks foe dis one!
	2:56pm ndbob: www.youtube.com...
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: I love this terrible goddam song.
	2:59pm Lizardner Dave: This song makes me smile every time. And I'm a Yankees fan.
	2:59pm βrian: It has a little N.O. tinge, to it, though.
	3:00pm hyde: thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks a ton, UM!
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: Congratulations, Uncle Michael!
	3:02pm Parq: One of your best shows ever, UM. Not surprising, given the subject matter. I really am very happy for you and all Cubbies fans. Keep celebrating all weekend and all year.
	3:02pm Dean: "Frisco! Frisco! Frisco!"
	3:02pm hyde: Bostonians hate Beantown too, for the record
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
