	🎸 ♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:10 A couple of times we've had to buy this cat litter made from old newspapers that are compressed into small pellets! It's dustless so works when a cat has an incision or wound. Weird stuff. Yesterday's News, I think it's called.

	🎸 ♥ 3:18pm Bob Tankenstein: Hello all. Sorry I'm late
	♥ 3:22pm Mark T: OMG, my nickname is Fish and my best friend in high school was named Duck. Trout is my last name and Duckworth is his last name
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Chancelot" by "Benjamin Herman" 100% thought from the opening note this was going to be "Yakety Sax."
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm G: ↳ Irwin @3:12 Done…
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Song: "Chancelot" by "Benjamin Herman" This rocks
	♥ 3:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ The Oscar @3:23 we're spared, this time!
	♥ 3:25pm Listener Robert: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:12 Why not just use torn newspaper directly?

	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm G: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:43 The fallacy of the excluded middle hour?
	♥ 3:45pm Irwin: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:43 Ghosting the Young Codgers?
	♥ 3:46pm RevWaldo: ↳ Irwin @3:33 Thanks Irwin! Will hit the archives!
	♥ 3:48pm Irwin: ↳ RevWaldo @3:46 About a month ago. It was quite a flattering chronicle.
	3:54pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Enjoy, Enjoy" by "Emil Richards & the Microtonal ... Hints of Garcia scattered all over this guitar.
	3:56pm KWilde: BTW nice flea market find Irwin
	♥ 3:56pm ackthpfft: I like this. It's as if Herbie Hancock and Harry Partch had a child.
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm 12539: Codgers!
	🎸 ♥ 4:00pm 12539: Congratulations on the summer show, Max.
	🎸 ♥ 4:00pm JohnnyReno: I'm here for the codgers. Hi there!

	4:02pm Uncle Monk: ↳ G @3:08 There's also this, showing how headlines and abstracts change bsky.app...

	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm PMD: Oh Max. Do not freak out about being on 7SD
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm JohnnyReno: Andy will indeed try to get your banking information. It's called the long con.
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm PMD: Oh Max, give it all away!
	4:06pm Uncle Monk: "Hi, this is Andy Breckman of MONK."
	4:07pm Uncle Monk: Irwin is in the absolute right here.
	4:07pm P-90: Eighty-four bucks is near the top end for 7SD
	♥ 4:11pm coelacanth∅: that's the opposite of my m.o. i've loved the album format since i was 4, and when i hear a song i like i nearly always make a point to listen to the album. - or an album... or ALL the albums.
	♥ 4:11pm common: ↳ Song: "Happy Djong" by "Twelve Point Buck" pretty fuzzy, indeed. rock
	4:11pm Fredericks: ↳ nathan @4:04 E-meel? What show?
	♥ 4:12pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "Happy Djong" by "Twelve Point Buck" Enjoying it so far.
	♥ 4:13pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "Happy Djong" by "Twelve Point Buck" Are you on band camp?
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Sara Clemens: Max did it! I will tell everyone and bring glory to your name, Max.
	♥ 4:13pm Mxter Baba: Let’s hear about Baby Shark!
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm JohnnyReno: I'm sorry I ever brought up Baby Shark
	4:13pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Happy Djong" by "Twelve Point Buck" At the very end the lady speaking Japanese said tasukete (助けて) meaning "help me."
	♥ 4:15pm Rednex: Baby Shark rocks almost as hard as Cotton Eyed Joe. Don't be fooled!
	4:16pm The Chief: Clinic rules
	♥ 4:16pm tristeros: great song! this whole Clinic album is great.
	♥ 4:17pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Walking with Thee" by "Clinic" I had this song and some Long Winters on a mix CD
	4:17pm The Chief: Saw them at SXSW on the tour for “Internal Wrangled” (the album before this).
	4:17pm The Chief: *Wrangler
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Adi From Sheffield: Clinic are still around I believe
	♥ 4:18pm coelacanth∅: if i look up baby shark will my computer be cursed? i got to "bab" and "baby shark" was the top hit on duckduckgo, but i didn't click it.
	♥ 4:18pm Mxter Baba: YAY MAX!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Sara Clemens: Go Max gooooooooo!
	♥ 4:19pm Mxter Baba: Come to Oregon!!! Hi from the Rose City!
	4:20pm Listening Out There: Remember, it’s “Orygun”…
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm JohnnyReno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:18 If you value your brain cells, don't listen to it. It will shave points off your IQ.
	♥ 4:20pm mdashkin: Max, you could do a Drummer stream show from Oregon. (Just a thought).
	♥ 4:20pm nathan: ↳ Fredericks @4:11 the Kindred show that Max mentioned
	4:20pm Fredericks: A quantum is quite small.
	♥ 4:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ JohnnyReno @4:20 Thank you. i shall heed this advice. ...of course now i'm really curious!
	♥ 4:22pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "Non-Threatening" by "The Ladies" It reminds me of a lot of Les Claypool
	♥ 4:23pm Rednex: Go ahead and listen to Baby Shark! Look at me, I'm FINE!
	♥ 4:24pm Barney Grubbs: Rob Crow was also in Goblin Cock and Anal Trump, different from those other acts but not without their charms.
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm Listener Jonny in MA/RI: Pinback is incredible. And they're touring, or recently toured?
	♥ 4:26pm common: surf's up is the best. makes me cry
	4:28pm Fredericks: I just read this: Large Language Models (LLMs) are super-expensive bullshit machines that suck up a fuck-ton of stolen data, including private info and creative content, in order to badly mimic it. I would add also use a ridiculous amount of energy and water to do its thing.
	♥ 4:28pm ackthpfft: Can confirm, Fredericks
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm Various Julius: ↳ Fredericks @4:28 The promise of AI was to perform tedious work for creative people, alas it's been put to use doing creative work for tedious people
	4:32pm andy the painter: that’s funny….to my ears the “humming part” is not incongruous at all!
	4:32pm Ben from KC: Thank you, Irwin. So beautiful.
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm The Oscar: Easily among the best songs ever written about columnated ruins domino.
	♥ 4:32pm Feldy: Glad we get to hear more from Max!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Sara Clemens: Lol that's hilarious, can't wait.
	♥ 4:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Surf's Up (1967 Solo Version)" by "The Beach Boys" it seems pretty obvious to me that Brian thought there should be a few more words to that line so just hummed the part.
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm DjLorraine: Ooo nice mysterious addition to SSD
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm JohnnyReno: @Max: guard your banking info!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm winston legthigh: thanks irwin, max and all. later!
	♥ 4:34pm maestroso: Bye Max! Looking forward to your show.
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Go, Max!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Fredericks @4:28 i thoroughly agree.
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Various Julius @4:31 indeed
	♥ 4:37pm Hunterian: Young Codgers rule
	4:39pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Fredericks @4:28 And displace actual information and images on the internet with useless harmful trash.
	♥ 4:45pm vinyl hero of Lenox, MA...in the Berkshires!: Hints of early Pink Floyd...
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm zachary: ↳ Song: "The Runaway American Dream: A Synopsis, Pt. 2" by... Gus always spreading the truth.
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: that dig on ono earned gus a clickystar
	🎸 ♥ 4:51pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "The Runaway American Dream: A Synopsis, Pt. 2" by... Don't forget the highway being jammed with broken heroes. Now, it's just jammed with pinheads in overpriced SUV's who forgot how to drive during COVID.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: ...although i did dislike Springsteen at first, mainly because of that line "you ain't a beauty but hey you're alright", and the that song overall...only to highly respect him later on.
	4:53pm Toothgrinder Tom: When in doubt, Bodenheim it.
	4:57pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "On the Way" by "Don Rendell Quintet" Drummer's laying back and pushing forward at the same time.
	♥ 4:57pm Mister Dobalina: Just tuned in, thanks goodness the Jass is on. I could really use it.
	4:58pm Fredericks: ↳ Various Julius @4:31 Ah, so.
	♥ 4:58pm Irwin: ↳ Mister Dobalina @4:57 Got more coming up. The fuzz require it.
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gregosaurus @4:51 i think they never knew how to drive but got bigger and bigger pigmobiles until they couldn't handle them
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Afterlife" by "Alex G" new Valerie?
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm zachary: ↳ Fredericks @4:58 It is a tragedy. The slop being produced and pushed out in the world, the atrophying of the mind, and displacement of human-to-human work is not going to progress well.
	♥ 5:03pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:59 Sorry?
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:59 Many of them for sure. But i think the lockdown clearly broke many motorist's brains. Particularly manifesting in those just stopping dead in the middle of the road/intersection when their brains blue screen.
	♥ 5:05pm Irwin: ↳ zachary @5:00 Your glass is sooooooo half-empty.
	♥ 5:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @5:03 never heard this Valerie June before; figured it must be recent
	5:05pm Fredericks: ↳ zachary @5:00 Did it all start with drive-through windows?
	♥ 5:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gregosaurus @5:05 haha...is that what's happening?
	♥ 5:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Fredericks @5:05 ...like birds trying to fly through windows. does that make these drivers "bird-brains"?!
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Gregosaurus: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:06 That's my theory. I don't recall that wetware bug pre-covid.
	🎸 ♥ 5:12pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:05 It is; just released a month or two ago.
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Song: "The Touch" by "Cal Tjader Quintet" what kind of Jazz is this? I’m wondering
	♥ 5:16pm ackthpfft: Yes! The return of Dan Tullis!
	♥ 5:16pm Irwin: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:15 Latin lounge.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Irwin @5:16 Ah, thank you. The Touch - good title
	♥ 5:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ rrg @5:12 Thanks you! got to check it out (not that i can buy anything right now...)
	🎸 ♥ 5:23pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Absence of the People You Long For" by "Marta... This is the kind of jazz you put on the stereo if you want your friends to think, "Hey! This guy must be a real jazz guy." Not that corny old Duke Ellington or weird Ornette Coleman. Just some nice, normal, straight ahead jazz.
	🎸 ♥ 5:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "Parting" by "Don Ellis" Heard those strings sampled somewhere before. Maybe Handsome Boy Modeling School? The Herbaliser?
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: ↳ egould @5:23 Only discovered Marta Sanchez recently. Some nice stuff, some of it a bit more out-there improv than this.
	5:30pm Fredericks: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:07 Perhaps.
	5:32pm Fredericks: ↳ egould @5:23 Would Frank Morgan be as effective?
	♥ 5:32pm ackthpfft: Selectquote.com ... I'm ashamed that I know this
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Dan S: Juggernaut. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of WFMU. :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm G: Quantity over quality! Sounds like a formula for excellence!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Sara Clemens: Hey at least a few of us noobs are quality!
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Dan S: So that's why Michele, Pseu, Matt Fiveash, Bruno, etc. are away for the summer! How big a payoff did they get? :-)
	♥ 5:37pm joe mulligan: take the fork in the road Gus!
	5:37pm tortured: Change is often uncomfortable. Esp for the old timers. I , for one, am ready
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm PaulRobeson1925: Wonderful to hear about Gus’s special seat
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Sara Clemens: I became a DJ in hopes to someday meet Gus, tbh. Maybe share a buckaroo or two.
	♥ 5:39pm J in LA: Ooo, I'd love a summer sabbatical, if only🍺🍺🍺
	♥ 5:41pm Mister Dobalina: Mescalin ?!??
	♥ 5:41pm J in LA: Buckeroo....Serve in a Collins glass Ingredients: [edit] 1 2⁄3 oz Bourbon whiskey 4 oz Cola (e.g. Coca-Cola or Pepsi) 2 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Fishtown Mike: ↳ J in LA @5:41 OK, I'm very confused about this one...I saw 3 or 4 different recipes. What's the official Bodenheim one? Do I have to wait patiently for my swag for the big reveal?
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin.
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm egould: ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:47 Yeah. I'm seeing multiple differing recipes. Some bourbon, some whisky, and even a rum. The Buckaroo need to standardize.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm rrg: ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:47 Uh-oh. The Buckaroo recipe was on LAST year's Gus premium, not this year's.
	♥ 5:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tortured @5:37 it seems to me the young'uns tend to be far more traumatized by change, in general. - far more traumatized by everything...in general! ...on a music front, that explains why the vast majority of people under ...30? are complacent about the aural fodder they've had shoveled at them by the entertainment industrial complex; not even realising how unbearably terrible it is.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm egould: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:51 Terrible. But consistently terrible.
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Adi From Sheffield: Off the boards for bed. Thanks Irwin and Max. Night all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm Fishtown Mike: ↳ rrg @5:49 Hmm, looking at it now. Nada. Oh well.
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ egould @5:52 true dat
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm rrg: Wednesdays from 3pm-6pm is appointment radio for me. I've had a good appointment today. Thanks Irwin, Gus, Max, and any other deserving people.
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Fishtown Mike: Thanks Irwin, great show!
	♥ 5:56pm J in LA: ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:47 Uh OH.....
	♥ 5:56pm Nymor: ↳ Song: "No Russians in Russia" by "Radio Stars" I remember this track from a friends C90 mix tape back in 80/81-ish along with Dirty Pictures. So great to hear it :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Dan S: Irwin, I'm glad you resisted the temptation to take the big payoff and are staying with us for the summer. Thanks for the show!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm egould: Thanks Irwin!
	5:57pm Uncle Monk: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:51 Can't imagine why young'uns are far more traumatized by everything in general, they should be so tough having grown up with mass shootings, climate change, COVID, economic collapse
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Irwin.
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm listener 126464: Thanks, Irwin.

	♥ 4:13pm Mxter Baba: Let’s hear about Baby Shark!
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm JohnnyReno: I'm sorry I ever brought up Baby Shark
	4:13pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Happy Djong" by "Twelve Point Buck" At the very end the lady speaking Japanese said tasukete (助けて) meaning "help me."
	♥ 4:15pm Rednex: Baby Shark rocks almost as hard as Cotton Eyed Joe. Don't be fooled!
	4:16pm The Chief: Clinic rules
	♥ 4:16pm tristeros: great song! this whole Clinic album is great.
	♥ 4:17pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Walking with Thee" by "Clinic" I had this song and some Long Winters on a mix CD

	♥ 4:19pm Mxter Baba: Come to Oregon!!! Hi from the Rose City!
	4:20pm Listening Out There: Remember, it’s “Orygun”…
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm JohnnyReno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:18 If you value your brain cells, don't listen to it. It will shave points off your IQ.
	♥ 4:20pm mdashkin: Max, you could do a Drummer stream show from Oregon. (Just a thought).
	♥ 4:20pm nathan: ↳ Fredericks @4:11 the Kindred show that Max mentioned
	4:20pm Fredericks: A quantum is quite small.
	♥ 4:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ JohnnyReno @4:20 Thank you. i shall heed this advice. ...of course now i'm really curious!
	♥ 4:22pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "Non-Threatening" by "The Ladies" It reminds me of a lot of Les Claypool
	♥ 4:23pm Rednex: Go ahead and listen to Baby Shark! Look at me, I'm FINE!
	♥ 4:24pm Barney Grubbs: Rob Crow was also in Goblin Cock and Anal Trump, different from those other acts but not without their charms.
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm Listener Jonny in MA/RI: Pinback is incredible. And they're touring, or recently toured?
	♥ 4:26pm common: surf's up is the best. makes me cry
	4:28pm Fredericks: I just read this: Large Language Models (LLMs) are super-expensive bullshit machines that suck up a fuck-ton of stolen data, including private info and creative content, in order to badly mimic it. I would add also use a ridiculous amount of energy and water to do its thing.
	♥ 4:28pm ackthpfft: Can confirm, Fredericks
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm Various Julius: ↳ Fredericks @4:28 The promise of AI was to perform tedious work for creative people, alas it's been put to use doing creative work for tedious people

	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm The Oscar: Easily among the best songs ever written about columnated ruins domino.
	♥ 4:32pm Feldy: Glad we get to hear more from Max!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Sara Clemens: Lol that's hilarious, can't wait.
	♥ 4:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Surf's Up (1967 Solo Version)" by "The Beach Boys" it seems pretty obvious to me that Brian thought there should be a few more words to that line so just hummed the part.
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm DjLorraine: Ooo nice mysterious addition to SSD
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm JohnnyReno: @Max: guard your banking info!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm winston legthigh: thanks irwin, max and all. later!

	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Go, Max!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Fredericks @4:28 i thoroughly agree.
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Various Julius @4:31 indeed
	♥ 4:37pm Hunterian: Young Codgers rule
	4:39pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Fredericks @4:28 And displace actual information and images on the internet with useless harmful trash.

	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm zachary: ↳ Song: "The Runaway American Dream: A Synopsis, Pt. 2" by... Gus always spreading the truth.
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: that dig on ono earned gus a clickystar
	🎸 ♥ 4:51pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "The Runaway American Dream: A Synopsis, Pt. 2" by... Don't forget the highway being jammed with broken heroes. Now, it's just jammed with pinheads in overpriced SUV's who forgot how to drive during COVID.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: ...although i did dislike Springsteen at first, mainly because of that line "you ain't a beauty but hey you're alright", and the that song overall...only to highly respect him later on.
	4:53pm Toothgrinder Tom: When in doubt, Bodenheim it.
	4:57pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "On the Way" by "Don Rendell Quintet" Drummer's laying back and pushing forward at the same time.
	♥ 4:57pm Mister Dobalina: Just tuned in, thanks goodness the Jass is on. I could really use it.
	4:58pm Fredericks: ↳ Various Julius @4:31 Ah, so.
	♥ 4:58pm Irwin: ↳ Mister Dobalina @4:57 Got more coming up. The fuzz require it.
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gregosaurus @4:51 i think they never knew how to drive but got bigger and bigger pigmobiles until they couldn't handle them
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Afterlife" by "Alex G" new Valerie?
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm zachary: ↳ Fredericks @4:58 It is a tragedy. The slop being produced and pushed out in the world, the atrophying of the mind, and displacement of human-to-human work is not going to progress well.
	♥ 5:03pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:59 Sorry?
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:59 Many of them for sure. But i think the lockdown clearly broke many motorist's brains. Particularly manifesting in those just stopping dead in the middle of the road/intersection when their brains blue screen.
	♥ 5:05pm Irwin: ↳ zachary @5:00 Your glass is sooooooo half-empty.
	♥ 5:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @5:03 never heard this Valerie June before; figured it must be recent
	5:05pm Fredericks: ↳ zachary @5:00 Did it all start with drive-through windows?
	♥ 5:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gregosaurus @5:05 haha...is that what's happening?
	♥ 5:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Fredericks @5:05 ...like birds trying to fly through windows. does that make these drivers "bird-brains"?!
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Gregosaurus: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:06 That's my theory. I don't recall that wetware bug pre-covid.
	🎸 ♥ 5:12pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:05 It is; just released a month or two ago.
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Song: "The Touch" by "Cal Tjader Quintet" what kind of Jazz is this? I’m wondering
	♥ 5:16pm ackthpfft: Yes! The return of Dan Tullis!
	♥ 5:16pm Irwin: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:15 Latin lounge.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Irwin @5:16 Ah, thank you. The Touch - good title
	♥ 5:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ rrg @5:12 Thanks you! got to check it out (not that i can buy anything right now...)
	🎸 ♥ 5:23pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Absence of the People You Long For" by "Marta... This is the kind of jazz you put on the stereo if you want your friends to think, "Hey! This guy must be a real jazz guy." Not that corny old Duke Ellington or weird Ornette Coleman. Just some nice, normal, straight ahead jazz.
	🎸 ♥ 5:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "Parting" by "Don Ellis" Heard those strings sampled somewhere before. Maybe Handsome Boy Modeling School? The Herbaliser?
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: ↳ egould @5:23 Only discovered Marta Sanchez recently. Some nice stuff, some of it a bit more out-there improv than this.
	5:30pm Fredericks: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:07 Perhaps.
	5:32pm Fredericks: ↳ egould @5:23 Would Frank Morgan be as effective?
	♥ 5:32pm ackthpfft: Selectquote.com ... I'm ashamed that I know this
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Dan S: Juggernaut. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of WFMU. :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm G: Quantity over quality! Sounds like a formula for excellence!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Sara Clemens: Hey at least a few of us noobs are quality!
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Dan S: So that's why Michele, Pseu, Matt Fiveash, Bruno, etc. are away for the summer! How big a payoff did they get? :-)
	♥ 5:37pm joe mulligan: take the fork in the road Gus!
	5:37pm tortured: Change is often uncomfortable. Esp for the old timers. I , for one, am ready
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm PaulRobeson1925: Wonderful to hear about Gus’s special seat
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Sara Clemens: I became a DJ in hopes to someday meet Gus, tbh. Maybe share a buckaroo or two.
	♥ 5:39pm J in LA: Ooo, I'd love a summer sabbatical, if only🍺🍺🍺
	♥ 5:41pm Mister Dobalina: Mescalin ?!??
	♥ 5:41pm J in LA: Buckeroo....Serve in a Collins glass Ingredients: [edit] 1 2⁄3 oz Bourbon whiskey 4 oz Cola (e.g. Coca-Cola or Pepsi) 2 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Fishtown Mike: ↳ J in LA @5:41 OK, I'm very confused about this one...I saw 3 or 4 different recipes. What's the official Bodenheim one? Do I have to wait patiently for my swag for the big reveal?
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin.
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm egould: ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:47 Yeah. I'm seeing multiple differing recipes. Some bourbon, some whisky, and even a rum. The Buckaroo need to standardize.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm rrg: ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:47 Uh-oh. The Buckaroo recipe was on LAST year's Gus premium, not this year's.
	♥ 5:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tortured @5:37 it seems to me the young'uns tend to be far more traumatized by change, in general. - far more traumatized by everything...in general! ...on a music front, that explains why the vast majority of people under ...30? are complacent about the aural fodder they've had shoveled at them by the entertainment industrial complex; not even realising how unbearably terrible it is.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm egould: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:51 Terrible. But consistently terrible.
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Adi From Sheffield: Off the boards for bed. Thanks Irwin and Max. Night all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm Fishtown Mike: ↳ rrg @5:49 Hmm, looking at it now. Nada. Oh well.
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ egould @5:52 true dat
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm rrg: Wednesdays from 3pm-6pm is appointment radio for me. I've had a good appointment today. Thanks Irwin, Gus, Max, and any other deserving people.
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Fishtown Mike: Thanks Irwin, great show!
	♥ 5:56pm J in LA: ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:47 Uh OH.....
	♥ 5:56pm Nymor: ↳ Song: "No Russians in Russia" by "Radio Stars" I remember this track from a friends C90 mix tape back in 80/81-ish along with Dirty Pictures. So great to hear it :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Dan S: Irwin, I'm glad you resisted the temptation to take the big payoff and are staying with us for the summer. Thanks for the show!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm egould: Thanks Irwin!
	5:57pm Uncle Monk: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:51 Can't imagine why young'uns are far more traumatized by everything in general, they should be so tough having grown up with mass shootings, climate change, COVID, economic collapse
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Irwin.
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm listener 126464: Thanks, Irwin.
