	12:15pm chris in the redwoods: happy raga Friday, everyone.
	12:15pm Stanley: David ~ anything is possible.
	12:16pm David (in London): Tim! Carmichael! andywing! Krull! Chuk! Chris!

	12:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good raga to you, David!

	12:18pm ChukAmok: Hi David (iL)!
	12:18pm steveo: hello Bryce; sounding wonderful
	12:19pm Nymor: @tim - TGIRF! - nice :) and absolutely agree. Hi to all Brycicles.
	12:19pm tim from washington: I tell you what, man. Bryce is the Tim Conway of uphill tobogganing.
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: Krull!
	12:22pm Carmichael: Heya David. Finishing my jaffa cakes and tea as we speak.
	12:23pm David (in London): Carmichael, good man! I heartily approve. I raise my mug to you.
	12:26pm chresti: HelllllllO!
	12:26pm Passaic River Blues: The Irshad Khan raga was phenomenal.
	12:26pm Krull Sagan: Krull! David! Just learned a greeting that goes something like “kem chho” or good afternoon to you & all here; it’s been a li’l while
	12:26pm David (in London): Chrestikins!
	12:26pm chris in the redwoods: hi, chresti!
	12:29pm David (in London): Krull, it has. I just assumed that you and your group of outlaws were away saving future queen Princess Lyssa from the Beast and his constantly teleporting Black Fortress.
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Been a while indeed, Krull. Hope all is well.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: And, er, what David said.
	12:34pm chresti: HI chris! Davidkins!
	12:34pm Stanley: Handy! (I've no idea what all that meant) Ps. it's nearly 6pm, here, so cheers my dears.
	12:35pm chris in the redwoods: cheers, Stanley!
	12:36pm ChukAmok: @Handy Did you get that antenna set up successfully?
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, Stanley! I am going to the liquor store this very afternoon. Talisker supply is low ... as is crew morale ... We're actually going to (gasp!) have a couple of friends over, so I'm going to try making penne with vodka sauce. And also make drinks. It's a theme! ChukAmok. Well. It's connected. It's ... not ideal. Still pretty staticky. I am not sure what more is possible. We're just not set up to run wires throughout the apt. or out the window or anything. So ... call it a partial victory? I can certainly listen over FM when on my own, but K8 wants a clearer signal.
	12:41pm ChukAmok: Partial victory is still victory!
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: She also frowns on the idea of a permanent wall-mounted potato for some reason. But it's for the radio!
	12:43pm andywing: @Handy, you setting up an interior yagi?
	12:44pm Passaic River Blues: "But it's for the radio!" hahahaha
	12:44pm David (in London): Is it to grow a Mr Potato Head, Handy?
	12:45pm Mister Dobalina: Oh Boy! Here we go! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Ragarific Friday is on the air!
	12:46pm Mister Dobalina: This intro gave me goose bumps for some reason. Definitely caught the feels!
	12:47pm Ike: Okra!!!
	12:49pm chresti: Handy, maybe a designated potato hook on the wall?
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: andywing, just an interior FM dipole. I think she wouldn't object to the hook, chresti. Just to the potato. "But Leopold Bloom had one!"
	12:52pm Krys O.: Okra, it's what's for dinner. In my house, at least.
	12:54pm ChukAmok: The potato could power the radio, just like those digital clocks from the 80's. Take that ConEd!
	12:55pm Krull Sagan: David, you got it! Cyclops companion & everything, braving pseudo medieval lasers and such
	1:02pm Krys O.: When I listened to WFMU at my parents' house in Westchester County, NY in the pre-Mt. Hope days, I would lean the radio against the window and let the antenna touch the screen. It somehow helped, but only in one room of the house.
	1:08pm andywing: I've traditionally used a yagi for picking up the right station when two are on the same frequency.
	1:09pm Greg: Bryce, you rule. This is glorious.
	1:12pm Bryce: :) thanks! so glad you're here!!
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: The bathroom boombox can do that sometimes, Krys, but options are limited in the front room.
	1:13pm YETI BOB: whoa check out this photo of antenna inventor Hidedsugu Yagi en.wikipedia.org... ... (also hi everyone! been busy working, enjoying the music)
	1:14pm Stanley: Bhindi (ladies fingers)
	1:16pm andywing: Yeti Bob, nice link.
	1:16pm Irin: request a little Pandit Pran Nath please?
	1:16pm Handy Haversack: Looks like a real pick-up artist, YB! David: my coat, please.
	1:17pm Ike: I keep mentioning how I stuck dipole antenna leads into a potato once and how well it worked because it makes for a good story, and because FMU once had a funny LCD article about it (but I can't find it online anymore). But as a long-term solution, I suppose it's not the best, and 100% not sightly. And as the moisture content goes down, you have to keep replacing the potato.
	1:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You can do tabletop fusion with a potato, Alka Seltzer, some wire, and a few alligator clips. I read that on the Internet.
	1:18pm Ike: Someone tested their TV antenna against a potato and the potato actually did reasonably well: blog.solidsignal.com...
	1:19pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Related to absolutely nothing: Have a look at the world's largest cast-iron pan. www.youtube.com...
	1:20pm Ike: But, again, the favorable comments are probably just Ike Potato Bias at play. I love the word "potato" and I love to eat potatoes. I make oven fries all the time. In the real world, where one should not be obsessed with potatoes, you can probably do better.
	1:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: #Ike but does an FM antenna pair well with a flatiron steak? Can you make hash browns with it?
	1:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Do androids dream of electric hasselback antennaes?
	1:22pm Yes: excellent sounds
	1:22pm YETI BOB: Kartoffelantenne!
	1:22pm eva: good afternoon
	1:23pm Stanley: Spud talk, my kind of talk. I've got some homestyles on the go, right now.
	1:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @YetiBob accurate Auf Deutsch!
	1:25pm eva: @ike love oven fries. like to make chips in the oven too.
	1:25pm Q awww: How long is this song? She’s in a trance!
	1:25pm Handy Haversack: Ike, that article was from WHHenry, and I thought I had it bookmarked but now can't find it.
	1:26pm andywing: @Threemoons, now we know what Richard Serra cooks his Taylor Ham in??
	1:26pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: LOL
	1:26pm βrian: Damn, I love me some potatoes roasted with onions and fresh rosemary, but Doc says nay.
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: Found it! www.jhhl.net...
	1:28pm Ike: @3Moons, I'm not a steak man, so I've got no flanking idea. instantrimshot.com
	1:28pm Handy Haversack: Which ingredient is your dr. denying you there, βrian?
	1:28pm βrian: Good reception implies good cake.
	1:29pm chresti: Por quoi? @βrian
	1:29pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the Instant Rimshot link....will steal.
	1:29pm andywing: Batish! Thanks Bryce!
	1:29pm YETI BOB: potato would function as a capacitor, methinks. now i want to know how many microfarads in a typical russett.
	1:30pm βrian: We had chocolate tarts at our reception.
	1:30pm Bryce: @andywing :) he's with zakir hussain on this one
	1:30pm βrian: @Handy: Potatoes. Lovely potatoes.
	1:30pm Michael 98145: probably better to use a Yukon Gold
	1:31pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Brian and an open bar.
	1:32pm chresti: Handy, maybe carving the potato into a face or cat would make it more acceptable?
	1:32pm YETI BOB: now i feel like i have to go get a bunch of different potatoes and measure their capacitance. then bake them and smother them in butter and cheese.
	1:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: More cast iron goodness fox17.com...
	1:33pm Kevin-san: All this potato talk is making me hungry, are there any aloo ragas?
	1:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Kevin-San it comes out extra crispy in a giant cast iron skillet!
	1:34pm βrian: @Threemoons: Speaking of, I've always wanted to fill a water cooler with a case of awesome red wine and provide paper cups. I would tell guests that it's just box wine.
	1:35pm andywing: Hussain, nice!
	1:35pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Brian www.reddit.com...
	1:36pm YETI BOB: Handy - I remember reading that article in the old (paper) LCD, like a million years ago. Bringing back memories. Also, don't call the number printed in the article!
	1:36pm Bryce: hahaa just realized it's on the cover photo doiiiiiiiiiii
	1:36pm Stanley: "A man who is tired of potatoes, is tired of life"
	1:37pm Krys O.: 'Real time copy'
	1:37pm Handy Haversack: βrian, that's a damn shame. Is there nothing the doctors won't take away from us? I'm already off eggs and cheese Mon.-Thu. Well, it's Friday, Doctor Jerkface! And I'm making rigatoni!
	1:37pm Krys O.: I wonder if yucca would work as a sub for taters....
	1:38pm andywing: Red potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, yellow sweet potatoes...
	1:38pm βrian: "This allows you to hone in on 91.1 ..." Eh, nope.
	1:38pm Krys O.: fingerlings
	1:38pm Kevin-san: @3M: Yum! And my local Indian won't be open for another 2 HOURS dammit!
	1:39pm Krys O.: One of the compressors is humming along loudly at random spurts here at work. It's disconcerting.
	1:40pm Ike: Oh, maybe this is why some anti-vaxxers don't want to believe or trust doctors anymore. Trying to convince them that doctors are just the plumbers and electricians of the body isn't going to work not just because of the class differences and the skyrocketing costs of U.S. healthcare, but also because they deny us potatoes.
	1:41pm ChukAmok: Panic buying ahead of a winter storm has resulted in there being no potatoes available from any local grocers.
	1:42pm eva: sigmar had a thing for potatoes. potato orbiting machine . https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/polke-potato-machine-apparatus-whereby-one-potato-can-orbit-another-t13326
	1:42pm Stanley: Damned right Ike!
	1:43pm YETI BOB: eva: Fantastisch!
	1:43pm βrian: In a restaurant I once worked at, we edited the menu for April 1. I recall one dish that was "served by potatoes."
	1:43pm Pham Bamhamy: Hello DK Bryce. Lovin' it. BTW potatoes make great printing blocks and easy to carve too.
	1:44pm andywing: Well represented potatoes: www.youtube.com...
	1:44pm Pham Bamhamy: @Brian did you respond, "I resemble that remark!"
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: It certainly doesn't help, Ike.
	1:48pm Michael 98145: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!” Benj Franklin Perhaps, potatoes, too ..
	1:48pm eva: you say potato I say potahto
	1:49pm muckgeist: A capella sitar in Pod F Tompkast: Extrasode - A Phone Call For Mr. Tompkins @ 13:09 (bit starts 11:52)
	1:49pm βrian: It was also fun trying to squeeze in the widest range of non-English words. "Scallopine de Veau alla Sofrito con Cerezas"
	1:49pm Ajay from Krommenie / NL: my absolute favourite Friday evening show (well its evening here). Tunes from the motherland
	1:51pm Bryce: oh wow, thanks, ajay! hello, pham!
	1:52pm chresti: Vegetable Wars has my kind of production values.
	1:52pm David (in London): Is that guy in the photo a Sontaran?
	1:52pm Bryce: hahaaaaa right?
	1:53pm Mr. Oxford: Right with you Ajay. My Friday evening favourite (It's evening here in another part of Europe as well). These are sounds from my motherland also! Great selection as always Bryce.
	1:53pm Pham Bamhamy: @Andywing, completely plausible movie until I saw the shipping labels on the cardboard boxes making the set design. lol. Fun, thanks
	1:56pm Krys O.: Oh, my! Tater powerlifting!
	1:57pm captain beef fart: I was once a page compositor at a fish wrap of a daily newspaper. We'd lightly mess with comics, switch heads in sports team photos, and sometimes randomly put pictures of pro wrestlers here and there throughout the paper without captions (that one got us a good talking to).
	2:00pm Pham Bamhamy: @Captain, speaking as a (lithographic) stripper and pressman, I must say hat is some subversive behavior!
	2:01pm Michael 98145: "Record Breaking Russet Lifter"
	2:02pm βrian: If it was a Zippy comic, I bet is was hard to notice.
	2:03pm Pham Bamhamy: @Captain, in a print shop I worked at they threw a birthday party for an employee. When the, ahem, 'entertainment' arrived she told the receptionist that she was a stripper. The gal was sent to the composition department! True story. I know you'll get it. :)
	2:05pm chresti: So...βRIAAAN, why no more potato??
	2:06pm andywing: Amazing performance!
	2:07pm Pham Bamhamy: Those Russets always dominate the weightlifting competitions.
	2:10pm captain beef fart: The editors got pissed when the "Is Ric Flair OK?" calls started coming in when we put Nature Boy on page 2 across 2 columns with no caption.
	2:10pm βrian: The glycemic index, @chresti.
	2:11pm brainiac: In my days in prepress quality control, it was my job to rein in the stripper's hijinx before it went out the door. It was a lot like herding cats while playing whack-a-mole.
	2:12pm Bryce: "no, i strip things in"
	2:12pm DJ AcidReFlux: Lovely set
	2:14pm captain beef fart: At that paper, I was quality control. I had to stay until the press ran, make sure no glaring headline mistakes and, most importantly, make sure any ads were screwed up. If I found something, I was the one who got to yell "stop the press!". Too much responsibility for a college kid I suppose.
	2:15pm chresti: β, Not even small amounts? Franco recently got similar marching orders on the portions of high glycemic index foods
	2:15pm captain beef fart: weren't screwed up
	2:16pm βrian: @chresti: It's a slippery slope thing, I guess.
	2:16pm brainiac: Strippers were notoriously "high-spirited" in my day. Imagine circus clowns with a great union.
	2:20pm Mister Dobalina: This track is where it's at.
	2:21pm chresti: @β, indeed
	2:22pm Pham Bamhamy: lol brainiac. Thay's a funny image. The International brotherhood of Negative Clowns
	2:25pm Bryce: weird, how many prepress people are in here?? raises hand side-eye @ krys o
	2:26pm Pham Bamhamy: I was thinking the same thing DJ Bryce. Weird, but comforting (somehow).
	2:28pm chresti: Paste-up and inking, back in the late 70s-early 80s
	2:28pm David (in London): Birds of a feather and all that. (Do you use that phrase in the US?)
	2:28pm Pham Bamhamy: Printing is a solid way for an artist to feed the family while maintaining sanity. Plus all those great chemicals to huff for free!
	2:30pm Krys O.: I've worked at an industrial printing company for 24 years. Not much room for artistry there.
	2:31pm Michael 98145: paste-up, blue pencil ... yes
	2:31pm mic_a: I never had a job in it, but I did experience it in a high school printing course (old, old school hand typesetting, too). I think we've stumbled onto something frightening here. Hello all. Thanks Bryce.
	2:32pm HyperDose: Best part of FMU is leaving listening to one thing, and coming home to something completely different.
	2:32pm Krys O.: We produce labels, tags and signs for the supply chain, schools, universities, municipalities, and formerly video stores. The toughest thing right now for us is supply chain disruptions in raw material. Ugh. Magnets are getting hard to come by, for example. Oh, if you ever have difficulty sleeping, call me up and I will describe my job to you. That will surely put you to sleep.
	2:35pm brainiac: Printing was where my dreams of being an artist went to die. I consoled myself with alcohol and typography. @Krys, my sleep is haunted with stress dreams of the company I worked at 18 years ago.
	2:35pm Handy Haversack: I work in the production side of scholarly book publishing and am loving these stories!
	2:36pm chresti: I had a very brief paste-up job with a company that did pre-production for magazines like "Sunset" it was a graveyard shift and a proof reader that kept returning my work after measuring the space between the caption and the border for the image if it was like a fraction of a point off, I decided he was moving it so he could mess with me.
	2:36pm Krys O.: @brainiac: I dreamt the other night that we were so desperate to get material that we accepted an order of continuous film wrapped in a tablecloth filled with broken dishes.
	2:36pm Pham Bamhamy: Owner gets car back after her two dogs drove away with the van in brazen escape to Mexico. When questioned about the scheme, the offenders barked, “That’s where all the hot bitches are”. The outlaw pets are currently being held in solitary confinement at El Paso SPCA. This is where my mind goes after Raga binge.
	2:38pm Pham Bamhamy: @brainiac, alcohol, AKA "Printer's Pepsi".
	2:38pm brainiac: @chresti: That was me! Please forgive me; it wasn't that I was messing with you, it was my OCD torturing us both. @Krys: A-hahaw!
	2:39pm Handy Haversack: The mill that supplied our printer with white paper has switched its entire production line to cardboard for e-commerce packaging. Thanks for continuing to try to kill publishing, Amazon.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bryce, Brycelings
	2:41pm Bryce: hi, coelacanth∅!
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: Thankful for excellent driving music before
	2:42pm Mister Dobalina: Thanks for kicking off the weekend, right! Good stuff as always, Bryce.
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: < i can do that. those giant potatoes aren't that heavy once they've been dehydrated.
	2:42pm Krys O.: I've heard that same explanation, Handy. The previous explanation was a paper shortage in China. This industry article will make your head spin:www.labelandnarrowweb.com...
	2:43pm Pham Bamhamy: You're scaring me now Krys O.
	2:44pm rsj: im having deja vu, is this in the new bin?
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: (but i'll guess all the giant potato jokes have been made already)
	2:45pm Krys O.: I scare myself, Pham. Thanks, Bryce for this aural sustenance. Stay safe and well, all!
	2:45pm Ike: @DiL@1:52, indeed he looks MUCH like one! Excited that the days of the current accursed showrunner are almost at an end, despite his penchant for Sontarans. He made them even bigger idiots than they already were... but he did that to all the other characters too. Begone, crappiest writer in the galaxy! Teleport back to Boring Detective Show Planet!
	2:46pm chresti: coel, I'd be impressed if the guy behind him picked up both the strongman AND giant potato.
	2:48pm Pham Bamhamy: So the obvious question to your dream Krys O is: Did the tablecloth full of broken dishes and film arrived wrapped in continuous film itself, keeping all the shards from falling out?
	2:48pm Handy Haversack: coela can do that. chresti. Those guys lifting giant potatoes aren't that heavy once they're dehydrated.
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: haha chresti and Handy!
	2:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Bryce. More fun than a sack of potatoes! 🥔
	2:51pm Pham Bamhamy: Krys O, I am guessing you're having vendor problems with supply of continuous film? I am afraid to analyze the dishes/tablecloth image. lol
	2:54pm Krys O.: @Pham: The tablecloth was tied off as if it was the shipping container itself. It was placed by my desk. I was in the beginning of picking through the ceramic shards when I woke up.
	2:55pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Bryce. Truly enjoyed this.
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for that article, Krys! Will read ASAP. Have to run some errands, but I'll catch up with everyone at Sheila's in a bit. Thanks for this Bryce. Really wonderful. Felt very necessary.
	2:55pm chris in the redwoods: hot damn, love me some raga Fridays. thanks so much, Bryce! <3
	2:56pm Michael 98145: Beware of work dreams
	2:56pm Mike tp: cant go wrong with BABU.THANKS BRYCE....
	2:57pm Bryce: thanks so much, alla youse! nice weeks to everyone!
	2:57pm Stanley: Top show, Bryce. Raga Fridays rule.
	2:57pm brainiac: Thank you, Bryce!
	2:59pm Pham Bamhamy: That That is a great dream and wonderful that you remembered it. Jeezus, those folks at Smith Corona get a never-ending barrage of biblical, once in a lifetime, catastrophic events that they have no control over and go off like screaming mimis! Suck it up already. /snark/
	2:59pm Bas NL: Thanks Bryce!!
	2:59pm HyperDose: Thanks Bryce man!
	2:59pm chresti: Thanks Bryce!
	3:07pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!

	12:14pm Krull Sagan: Brycelings all! Checking in from a Gujarati household here in NC ~ perfect zone for this Friday!
	12:15pm ChukAmok: To hell with it, I'm eating this donut. This...delicious...raga donut.
	12:15pm chris in the redwoods: happy raga Friday, everyone.
	12:15pm Stanley: David ~ anything is possible.
	12:16pm David (in London): Tim! Carmichael! andywing! Krull! Chuk! Chris!
	12:16pm andywing: David!
	12:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good raga to you, David!
	12:17pm andywing: Any Ashwin Batish fans here?
	12:17pm chris in the redwoods: David! hello :)
	12:18pm ChukAmok: Hi David (iL)!
	12:18pm steveo: hello Bryce; sounding wonderful
	12:19pm Nymor: @tim - TGIRF! - nice :) and absolutely agree. Hi to all Brycicles.
	12:19pm tim from washington: I tell you what, man. Bryce is the Tim Conway of uphill tobogganing.
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: Krull!
	12:22pm Carmichael: Heya David. Finishing my jaffa cakes and tea as we speak.
	12:23pm David (in London): Carmichael, good man! I heartily approve. I raise my mug to you.
	12:26pm chresti: HelllllllO!
	12:26pm Passaic River Blues: The Irshad Khan raga was phenomenal.
	12:26pm Krull Sagan: Krull! David! Just learned a greeting that goes something like “kem chho” or good afternoon to you & all here; it’s been a li’l while
	12:26pm David (in London): Chrestikins!
	12:26pm chris in the redwoods: hi, chresti!
	12:29pm David (in London): Krull, it has. I just assumed that you and your group of outlaws were away saving future queen Princess Lyssa from the Beast and his constantly teleporting Black Fortress.
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Been a while indeed, Krull. Hope all is well.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: And, er, what David said.
	12:34pm chresti: HI chris! Davidkins!
	12:34pm Stanley: Handy! (I've no idea what all that meant) Ps. it's nearly 6pm, here, so cheers my dears.
	12:35pm chris in the redwoods: cheers, Stanley!
	12:36pm ChukAmok: @Handy Did you get that antenna set up successfully?
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, Stanley! I am going to the liquor store this very afternoon. Talisker supply is low ... as is crew morale ... We're actually going to (gasp!) have a couple of friends over, so I'm going to try making penne with vodka sauce. And also make drinks. It's a theme! ChukAmok. Well. It's connected. It's ... not ideal. Still pretty staticky. I am not sure what more is possible. We're just not set up to run wires throughout the apt. or out the window or anything. So ... call it a partial victory? I can certainly listen over FM when on my own, but K8 wants a clearer signal.
	12:41pm ChukAmok: Partial victory is still victory!
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: She also frowns on the idea of a permanent wall-mounted potato for some reason. But it's for the radio!
	12:43pm andywing: @Handy, you setting up an interior yagi?
	12:44pm Passaic River Blues: "But it's for the radio!" hahahaha
	12:44pm David (in London): Is it to grow a Mr Potato Head, Handy?
	12:45pm Mister Dobalina: Oh Boy! Here we go! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Ragarific Friday is on the air!
	12:46pm Mister Dobalina: This intro gave me goose bumps for some reason. Definitely caught the feels!
	12:47pm Ike: Okra!!!
	12:49pm chresti: Handy, maybe a designated potato hook on the wall?
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: andywing, just an interior FM dipole. I think she wouldn't object to the hook, chresti. Just to the potato. "But Leopold Bloom had one!"
	12:52pm Krys O.: Okra, it's what's for dinner. In my house, at least.
	12:54pm ChukAmok: The potato could power the radio, just like those digital clocks from the 80's. Take that ConEd!
	12:55pm Krull Sagan: David, you got it! Cyclops companion & everything, braving pseudo medieval lasers and such
	1:02pm Krys O.: When I listened to WFMU at my parents' house in Westchester County, NY in the pre-Mt. Hope days, I would lean the radio against the window and let the antenna touch the screen. It somehow helped, but only in one room of the house.
	1:08pm andywing: I've traditionally used a yagi for picking up the right station when two are on the same frequency.
	1:09pm Greg: Bryce, you rule. This is glorious.
	1:12pm Bryce: :) thanks! so glad you're here!!
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: The bathroom boombox can do that sometimes, Krys, but options are limited in the front room.
	1:13pm YETI BOB: whoa check out this photo of antenna inventor Hidedsugu Yagi en.wikipedia.org... ... (also hi everyone! been busy working, enjoying the music)
	1:14pm Stanley: Bhindi (ladies fingers)
	1:16pm andywing: Yeti Bob, nice link.
	1:16pm Irin: request a little Pandit Pran Nath please?
	1:16pm Handy Haversack: Looks like a real pick-up artist, YB! David: my coat, please.
	1:17pm Ike: I keep mentioning how I stuck dipole antenna leads into a potato once and how well it worked because it makes for a good story, and because FMU once had a funny LCD article about it (but I can't find it online anymore). But as a long-term solution, I suppose it's not the best, and 100% not sightly. And as the moisture content goes down, you have to keep replacing the potato.
	1:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You can do tabletop fusion with a potato, Alka Seltzer, some wire, and a few alligator clips. I read that on the Internet.
	1:18pm Ike: Someone tested their TV antenna against a potato and the potato actually did reasonably well: blog.solidsignal.com...
	1:19pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Related to absolutely nothing: Have a look at the world's largest cast-iron pan. www.youtube.com...
	1:20pm Ike: But, again, the favorable comments are probably just Ike Potato Bias at play. I love the word "potato" and I love to eat potatoes. I make oven fries all the time. In the real world, where one should not be obsessed with potatoes, you can probably do better.
	1:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: #Ike but does an FM antenna pair well with a flatiron steak? Can you make hash browns with it?
	1:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Do androids dream of electric hasselback antennaes?
	1:22pm Yes: excellent sounds
	1:22pm YETI BOB: Kartoffelantenne!
	1:22pm eva: good afternoon
	1:23pm Stanley: Spud talk, my kind of talk. I've got some homestyles on the go, right now.
	1:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @YetiBob accurate Auf Deutsch!
	1:25pm eva: @ike love oven fries. like to make chips in the oven too.
	1:25pm Q awww: How long is this song? She’s in a trance!
	1:25pm Handy Haversack: Ike, that article was from WHHenry, and I thought I had it bookmarked but now can't find it.
	1:26pm andywing: @Threemoons, now we know what Richard Serra cooks his Taylor Ham in??
	1:26pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: LOL
	1:26pm βrian: Damn, I love me some potatoes roasted with onions and fresh rosemary, but Doc says nay.
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: Found it! www.jhhl.net...
	1:28pm Ike: @3Moons, I'm not a steak man, so I've got no flanking idea. instantrimshot.com
	1:28pm Handy Haversack: Which ingredient is your dr. denying you there, βrian?
	1:28pm βrian: Good reception implies good cake.
	1:29pm chresti: Por quoi? @βrian
	1:29pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the Instant Rimshot link....will steal.
	1:29pm andywing: Batish! Thanks Bryce!
	1:29pm YETI BOB: potato would function as a capacitor, methinks. now i want to know how many microfarads in a typical russett.
	1:30pm βrian: We had chocolate tarts at our reception.
	1:30pm Bryce: @andywing :) he's with zakir hussain on this one
	1:30pm βrian: @Handy: Potatoes. Lovely potatoes.
	1:30pm Michael 98145: probably better to use a Yukon Gold
	1:31pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Brian and an open bar.
	1:32pm chresti: Handy, maybe carving the potato into a face or cat would make it more acceptable?
	1:32pm YETI BOB: now i feel like i have to go get a bunch of different potatoes and measure their capacitance. then bake them and smother them in butter and cheese.
	1:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: More cast iron goodness fox17.com...
	1:33pm Kevin-san: All this potato talk is making me hungry, are there any aloo ragas?
	1:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Kevin-San it comes out extra crispy in a giant cast iron skillet!
	1:34pm βrian: @Threemoons: Speaking of, I've always wanted to fill a water cooler with a case of awesome red wine and provide paper cups. I would tell guests that it's just box wine.
	1:35pm andywing: Hussain, nice!
	1:35pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Brian www.reddit.com...
	1:36pm YETI BOB: Handy - I remember reading that article in the old (paper) LCD, like a million years ago. Bringing back memories. Also, don't call the number printed in the article!
	1:36pm Bryce: hahaa just realized it's on the cover photo doiiiiiiiiiii
	1:36pm Stanley: "A man who is tired of potatoes, is tired of life"
	1:37pm Krys O.: 'Real time copy'
	1:37pm Handy Haversack: βrian, that's a damn shame. Is there nothing the doctors won't take away from us? I'm already off eggs and cheese Mon.-Thu. Well, it's Friday, Doctor Jerkface! And I'm making rigatoni!
	1:37pm Krys O.: I wonder if yucca would work as a sub for taters....
	1:38pm andywing: Red potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, yellow sweet potatoes...
	1:38pm βrian: "This allows you to hone in on 91.1 ..." Eh, nope.
	1:38pm Krys O.: fingerlings
	1:38pm Kevin-san: @3M: Yum! And my local Indian won't be open for another 2 HOURS dammit!
	1:39pm Krys O.: One of the compressors is humming along loudly at random spurts here at work. It's disconcerting.
	1:40pm Ike: Oh, maybe this is why some anti-vaxxers don't want to believe or trust doctors anymore. Trying to convince them that doctors are just the plumbers and electricians of the body isn't going to work not just because of the class differences and the skyrocketing costs of U.S. healthcare, but also because they deny us potatoes.
	1:41pm ChukAmok: Panic buying ahead of a winter storm has resulted in there being no potatoes available from any local grocers.
	1:42pm eva: sigmar had a thing for potatoes. potato orbiting machine . https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/polke-potato-machine-apparatus-whereby-one-potato-can-orbit-another-t13326
	1:42pm Stanley: Damned right Ike!
	1:43pm YETI BOB: eva: Fantastisch!
	1:43pm βrian: In a restaurant I once worked at, we edited the menu for April 1. I recall one dish that was "served by potatoes."
	1:43pm Pham Bamhamy: Hello DK Bryce. Lovin' it. BTW potatoes make great printing blocks and easy to carve too.
	1:44pm andywing: Well represented potatoes: www.youtube.com...
	1:44pm Pham Bamhamy: @Brian did you respond, "I resemble that remark!"
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: It certainly doesn't help, Ike.
	1:48pm Michael 98145: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!” Benj Franklin Perhaps, potatoes, too ..
	1:48pm eva: you say potato I say potahto
	1:49pm muckgeist: A capella sitar in Pod F Tompkast: Extrasode - A Phone Call For Mr. Tompkins @ 13:09 (bit starts 11:52)
	1:49pm βrian: It was also fun trying to squeeze in the widest range of non-English words. "Scallopine de Veau alla Sofrito con Cerezas"
	1:49pm Ajay from Krommenie / NL: my absolute favourite Friday evening show (well its evening here). Tunes from the motherland
	1:51pm Bryce: oh wow, thanks, ajay! hello, pham!
	1:52pm chresti: Vegetable Wars has my kind of production values.
	1:52pm David (in London): Is that guy in the photo a Sontaran?
	1:52pm Bryce: hahaaaaa right?
	1:53pm Mr. Oxford: Right with you Ajay. My Friday evening favourite (It's evening here in another part of Europe as well). These are sounds from my motherland also! Great selection as always Bryce.
	1:53pm Pham Bamhamy: @Andywing, completely plausible movie until I saw the shipping labels on the cardboard boxes making the set design. lol. Fun, thanks
	1:56pm Krys O.: Oh, my! Tater powerlifting!
	1:57pm captain beef fart: I was once a page compositor at a fish wrap of a daily newspaper. We'd lightly mess with comics, switch heads in sports team photos, and sometimes randomly put pictures of pro wrestlers here and there throughout the paper without captions (that one got us a good talking to).
	2:00pm Pham Bamhamy: @Captain, speaking as a (lithographic) stripper and pressman, I must say hat is some subversive behavior!
	2:01pm Michael 98145: "Record Breaking Russet Lifter"
	2:02pm βrian: If it was a Zippy comic, I bet is was hard to notice.
	2:03pm Pham Bamhamy: @Captain, in a print shop I worked at they threw a birthday party for an employee. When the, ahem, 'entertainment' arrived she told the receptionist that she was a stripper. The gal was sent to the composition department! True story. I know you'll get it. :)
	2:05pm chresti: So...βRIAAAN, why no more potato??
	2:06pm andywing: Amazing performance!
	2:07pm Pham Bamhamy: Those Russets always dominate the weightlifting competitions.
	2:10pm captain beef fart: The editors got pissed when the "Is Ric Flair OK?" calls started coming in when we put Nature Boy on page 2 across 2 columns with no caption.
	2:10pm βrian: The glycemic index, @chresti.
	2:11pm brainiac: In my days in prepress quality control, it was my job to rein in the stripper's hijinx before it went out the door. It was a lot like herding cats while playing whack-a-mole.
	2:12pm Bryce: "no, i strip things in"
	2:12pm DJ AcidReFlux: Lovely set
	2:14pm captain beef fart: At that paper, I was quality control. I had to stay until the press ran, make sure no glaring headline mistakes and, most importantly, make sure any ads were screwed up. If I found something, I was the one who got to yell "stop the press!". Too much responsibility for a college kid I suppose.
	2:15pm chresti: β, Not even small amounts? Franco recently got similar marching orders on the portions of high glycemic index foods
	2:15pm captain beef fart: weren't screwed up
	2:16pm βrian: @chresti: It's a slippery slope thing, I guess.
	2:16pm brainiac: Strippers were notoriously "high-spirited" in my day. Imagine circus clowns with a great union.
	2:20pm Mister Dobalina: This track is where it's at.
	2:21pm chresti: @β, indeed
	2:22pm Pham Bamhamy: lol brainiac. Thay's a funny image. The International brotherhood of Negative Clowns
	2:25pm Bryce: weird, how many prepress people are in here?? raises hand side-eye @ krys o
	2:26pm Pham Bamhamy: I was thinking the same thing DJ Bryce. Weird, but comforting (somehow).
	2:28pm chresti: Paste-up and inking, back in the late 70s-early 80s
	2:28pm David (in London): Birds of a feather and all that. (Do you use that phrase in the US?)
	2:28pm Pham Bamhamy: Printing is a solid way for an artist to feed the family while maintaining sanity. Plus all those great chemicals to huff for free!
	2:30pm Krys O.: I've worked at an industrial printing company for 24 years. Not much room for artistry there.
	2:31pm Michael 98145: paste-up, blue pencil ... yes
	2:31pm mic_a: I never had a job in it, but I did experience it in a high school printing course (old, old school hand typesetting, too). I think we've stumbled onto something frightening here. Hello all. Thanks Bryce.
	2:32pm HyperDose: Best part of FMU is leaving listening to one thing, and coming home to something completely different.
	2:32pm Krys O.: We produce labels, tags and signs for the supply chain, schools, universities, municipalities, and formerly video stores. The toughest thing right now for us is supply chain disruptions in raw material. Ugh. Magnets are getting hard to come by, for example. Oh, if you ever have difficulty sleeping, call me up and I will describe my job to you. That will surely put you to sleep.
	2:35pm brainiac: Printing was where my dreams of being an artist went to die. I consoled myself with alcohol and typography. @Krys, my sleep is haunted with stress dreams of the company I worked at 18 years ago.
	2:35pm Handy Haversack: I work in the production side of scholarly book publishing and am loving these stories!
	2:36pm chresti: I had a very brief paste-up job with a company that did pre-production for magazines like "Sunset" it was a graveyard shift and a proof reader that kept returning my work after measuring the space between the caption and the border for the image if it was like a fraction of a point off, I decided he was moving it so he could mess with me.
	2:36pm Krys O.: @brainiac: I dreamt the other night that we were so desperate to get material that we accepted an order of continuous film wrapped in a tablecloth filled with broken dishes.
	2:36pm Pham Bamhamy: Owner gets car back after her two dogs drove away with the van in brazen escape to Mexico. When questioned about the scheme, the offenders barked, “That’s where all the hot bitches are”. The outlaw pets are currently being held in solitary confinement at El Paso SPCA. This is where my mind goes after Raga binge.
	2:38pm Pham Bamhamy: @brainiac, alcohol, AKA "Printer's Pepsi".
	2:38pm brainiac: @chresti: That was me! Please forgive me; it wasn't that I was messing with you, it was my OCD torturing us both. @Krys: A-hahaw!
	2:39pm Handy Haversack: The mill that supplied our printer with white paper has switched its entire production line to cardboard for e-commerce packaging. Thanks for continuing to try to kill publishing, Amazon.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bryce, Brycelings
	2:41pm Bryce: hi, coelacanth∅!
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: Thankful for excellent driving music before
	2:42pm Mister Dobalina: Thanks for kicking off the weekend, right! Good stuff as always, Bryce.
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: < i can do that. those giant potatoes aren't that heavy once they've been dehydrated.
	2:42pm Krys O.: I've heard that same explanation, Handy. The previous explanation was a paper shortage in China. This industry article will make your head spin:www.labelandnarrowweb.com...
	2:43pm Pham Bamhamy: You're scaring me now Krys O.
	2:44pm rsj: im having deja vu, is this in the new bin?
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: (but i'll guess all the giant potato jokes have been made already)
	2:45pm Krys O.: I scare myself, Pham. Thanks, Bryce for this aural sustenance. Stay safe and well, all!
	2:45pm Ike: @DiL@1:52, indeed he looks MUCH like one! Excited that the days of the current accursed showrunner are almost at an end, despite his penchant for Sontarans. He made them even bigger idiots than they already were... but he did that to all the other characters too. Begone, crappiest writer in the galaxy! Teleport back to Boring Detective Show Planet!
	2:46pm chresti: coel, I'd be impressed if the guy behind him picked up both the strongman AND giant potato.
	2:48pm Pham Bamhamy: So the obvious question to your dream Krys O is: Did the tablecloth full of broken dishes and film arrived wrapped in continuous film itself, keeping all the shards from falling out?
	2:48pm Handy Haversack: coela can do that. chresti. Those guys lifting giant potatoes aren't that heavy once they're dehydrated.
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: haha chresti and Handy!
	2:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Bryce. More fun than a sack of potatoes! 🥔
	2:51pm Pham Bamhamy: Krys O, I am guessing you're having vendor problems with supply of continuous film? I am afraid to analyze the dishes/tablecloth image. lol
	2:54pm Krys O.: @Pham: The tablecloth was tied off as if it was the shipping container itself. It was placed by my desk. I was in the beginning of picking through the ceramic shards when I woke up.
	2:55pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Bryce. Truly enjoyed this.
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for that article, Krys! Will read ASAP. Have to run some errands, but I'll catch up with everyone at Sheila's in a bit. Thanks for this Bryce. Really wonderful. Felt very necessary.
	2:55pm chris in the redwoods: hot damn, love me some raga Fridays. thanks so much, Bryce! <3
	2:56pm Michael 98145: Beware of work dreams
	2:56pm Mike tp: cant go wrong with BABU.THANKS BRYCE....
	2:57pm Bryce: thanks so much, alla youse! nice weeks to everyone!
	2:57pm Stanley: Top show, Bryce. Raga Fridays rule.
	2:57pm brainiac: Thank you, Bryce!
	2:59pm Pham Bamhamy: That That is a great dream and wonderful that you remembered it. Jeezus, those folks at Smith Corona get a never-ending barrage of biblical, once in a lifetime, catastrophic events that they have no control over and go off like screaming mimis! Suck it up already. /snark/
	2:59pm Bas NL: Thanks Bryce!!
	2:59pm HyperDose: Thanks Bryce man!
	2:59pm chresti: Thanks Bryce!
	3:07pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!
