Came in early, sweeping up (cigar ashes, empty bourbon bottles, losing scratch tickets, KFC leftovers), emptying the spittoons, and opening the windows to get some fresh air in the Codger's poutin' shanty. See you all tonight for the show.

rrg:

Good morning, Miss Pancake. I'm especially looking forward to tonight's Codger program which by my count will be his ONE HUNDREDTH show!

I hope you've been able to make some progress on ending this very upsetting Fablo situation. I worry that his appalling "music" choices may put off potential new listeners who turn in early for Courtney's show.
Avatar 11:34am
Lolabelle Pancake:

Hello, Reggie. Courtney plans to announce that tonight marks his 100th show on WFMU. Of course, he hosted thousands on WPOX before the owners of that station were indicted on Payola charges.

As for Fablo, imagine sitting down for a sirloin steak dinner and your appetizer is raw hog entrails. That's the sort of program menu WFMU offers on Thursday. Courtney is seeking legal counsel, which he will also address on tonight's show.

Hi Lolabelle, I sent my fan mail to Courtney as requested, by telegram. Apologies it took so very long. Rather hard to find a telegram office in 2020. Take care. Stop.
Avatar 11:50am
Lolabelle Pancake:

Hello, Otis. Courtney said that station manager Ken is intercepting all telegrams and refusing to share the contents with Courtney. STOP. Courtney is turning over all this evidence of malfeasance to his attorney, Charles "Buster" Binderfloss. STOP.

Fablo appears to be playing a whole show of some Italian musician Courtney has never heard of. It can't be good.

I just turned on the station feed in Courtney's bunker. He called this music "repulsive."

Hi, Lolabelle. Can you either confirm or deny a story I read about Aimee Semple McPherson's "kidnapping" actually being a monthlong marathon "pancake and Canadian bacon session" (I'm quoting the story there) with Courtney?
