	🌮 ♥ 1:50pm Hubig Pie: I been to a few sketchy ice cream socials
	1:50pm Don F.: A great Paul Ashley puppet was Sammy Davis, Jr. which Sammy Davis himself put on one of his specials and they sang to each other.
	1:51pm morphe': I do not cartoons imbedded in the kid's programs in the '60s. Did that end in the '50s? In a just viewed Mccann clip it said they were to show Casper.
	1:51pm egould310: I once mixed moonshine and LSD. All I murdered were a few million brain cells and a bowl of gummy bears.
	♥ 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, from the end of MS's show: Hubig: Lucullus dines with Lucullus. So eggs made in a way K8 would never eat them since I was cooking for one. Lightly fried on cheesy toast with sauteed spinach, shallot, jalapeno (with a little veg. Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco) and a fake hot dog. K8 likes her eggs scrambled and disguised.

	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Orphan' & 'often'. It ain't gettin' better today...
	🌮 ♥ 1:55pm Mailman Tom: Chuck McCann was the announcer for the 1969 ABC-TV show, Turn On. It was cancelled after just one show because of jokes that were done in poor taste. For example: A beautiful woman is standing before a firing squad. The squad leader, instead of saying the customary. "Do you have any last requests?" remarks: "I know this may seem a little unusual miss, but in this case the firing squad has one last request"
	1:58pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Chuck was great in the movie, THE PROJECTIONIST...
	1:58pm morphe': Why did "Shantytown Honeymoon" Have so many other titles? Demented Death Farm Massacre Honey Britches Moonshiner's Women Shantytown Honeymoon (original title) Hillbilly Hooker Little Whorehouse on the Prairie
	🌮 ♥ 2:00pm Bruce S.: Oh Man Mailman Tom, Poor Taste and kinda corney at the Same Time!
	🌮 ♥ 2:02pm Bruce S.: Have you Been an Orphan Often?
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the further musical adventures of Little Orphan HoneyBritchiz ...often as you can of course...
	🌮 ♥ 2:04pm TheManWhoLaughs: @morphe...distributors do that with the title so they can trick people into seeing the same film thinking it's different
	🌮 ♥ 2:06pm TheManWhoLaughs: I remember seeing Vampire Men of the Lost Planet after having seen it as Horror of the Blood Monsters...not that I minded, of course
	🌮 ♥ 2:08pm Bruce S.: Hey Mr Wiggles of Homeboy Fame
	2:09pm morphe': TheManWhoLaughs:.. be sort of fun to actually make all those titles into different shorts and bundle them together ... or, budget wise, just the audio adverts that never appeared on the radio ... I'm gonna think on that...
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...listening to this Program I suddenly realize how down to earth Big Joe Turner really was by comparison...
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ManWhoLaughs - before TheJoker...
	🌮 ♥ 2:12pm TheManWhoLaughs: That's correct Revolution...Praise Bob!
	2:13pm egould310: @Listener Jumpy thanks for the heads up on The Projectionist. I must see this movie.
	2:14pm davefromtoronto: I’m hungry!
	2:14pm morphe': My long dead ground floor neighbors from So. Carolina used to make chitlins --- there is no way to describe the smell coming into the building on those days ..
	2:15pm phil.vas1: Was shoveling the car out last week and missed the show. Damn…that felt weird
	2:15pm Richard Whig: he just walks that way... LOL
	2:21pm Mister Dobalina: I remember many, many years ago, eating from a food truck that would serve chitlins that would sit on a grill for hours, getting crispy..it was pretty good. Haven't had it since then.
	2:21pm Cosmic Caveman: Hi Rex! I'm tuned in and enjoining the program too!
	🌮 ♥ 2:21pm Mailman Tom: Jerry Robinson, who created the comic book character the Joker, told us that the Joker was based on the playing card and not the silent movie with Conrad Veidt
	2:22pm Mister Dobalina: Ewww... feed your dog strawberry jello, maybe a cure?
	2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Bob Kane said he invented Batman - while it was mostly Bill Fingers filling in his rudimentary idea...
	🌮 ♥ 2:23pm Hubig Pie: Nothing be worse than puppy havin' cat box breath
	2:23pm Richard Whig: would you rather...bad breath or man hands?
	♥ 2:24pm Handy Haversack: For REALS, Hubig. Though I just checked with Bagpipe: it's definitely Saturday.
	🌮 ♥ 2:25pm Bruce S.: oh this is great!
	🌮 ♥ 2:25pm Mailman Tom: Bob Kane was full of himself. Bill Finger was short changed by this ego maniac.
	2:27pm Sylvia's Mother: Some of the other chicks on NYC's on the garage & soul scene should listen to The Skopes!
	2:27pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	2:28pm morphe': Chitlins: " In many ways, chitterlings have become as much a delicacy as escargots or foie gras. People of varied income levels and ethnic backgrounds enjoy chitterlings. Many grew up on them and appreciate them as a comfort food. And while cleaning them is an odious, unpleasant task because of their strong odor and the fat, grit and even bits of corn that can take hours to scrape out, you don't have to deal with that if you leave the work to someone else. (In some regions, chitterlings are cooked and eaten only during months that include an "r," as in September through April, when temperatures are cooler and the strong odor is more tolerable.) With salt, pepper and hot sauce on top and slaw, potato salad and cornbread on the side, chitterlings are a magnificent feast." https://www.post-gazette.com/life/food/2006/04/02/Loved-and-reviled-chitterlings-are-the-ultimate-in-soul-food/stories/200604020141
	2:28pm Kev Cos: Rex, Bro, I just got back to my swingin' bachelor pad. MONDO REQUEST (not really with the show's format): Chuck lively danced (like your current video) lip synched, with an old fashioned acoustic hand-held cheerleader-type megaphone: "Winchester Cathedral." All The Best, Kev Cos
	🌮 ♥ 2:28pm Bruce S.: It took Bill Finger Many Years to get his Due Credit for Batman
	🌮 ♥ 2:29pm Mailman Tom: Yes. Many decades!
	♥ 2:29pm Dennis Diken: loving all the Chuck McCann love! totally watched him every Sunday morning. later when he moved to LA he'd have breakfast every morning at the Sportsmen's Lodge coffee shop. I'd hang with him there whenever I was in town. he was a sweet dude.
	2:32pm egould310: How’s your boogaloo, baby?
	2:33pm Mister Dobalina: Herbah-Stimulah update, it's still workin' good.
	2:33pm morphe': If anyone is around 14th st/Ave A 10009 tonight around 9pm, my friend Peter is playing with his Greek Surf Music band at Otto's Shrunken Head ... do not know the name ... Otto's is usually free ???
	2:34pm annette: wish we had some good southern BOUDIN here
	♥ 2:34pm Handy Haversack: Nice, morph. Don't think we can make it, but we're Otto's fans.
	2:36pm Mister Dobalina: & if you are around the 10009 tonite, bundle up, it's gonna be frigid.
	2:36pm morphe': Just found the band's name: 9:30PM The ByzanTones Handy - I'll be in touch - weather will warm up ...
	🌮 ♥ 2:37pm Bruce S.: Bert Convy a celebraty known for being a celebraty
	♥ 2:37pm Handy Haversack: We're all radio batty now.
	2:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was in a band did Greek Serf music ...tried to get people to come - but it was a feudal effort...
	2:40pm egould310: Was that XETRA 690 from Baja California? I used to listen to the Jim Rome show, and other talk radio on that transmitter back in 1993-1994. My friend and I would call in one talk show (don’t remember the name) and insult each other in the wee hours. He was Alex from Anaheim, I was Evan from Venice. Looks like it transmits Chinese language programming now.
	2:41pm davefromtoronto: Wasn’t he part of the wrecking crew?
	🌮 ♥ 2:41pm TheManWhoLaughs: If I said this in English I could turn this station into a parking lot!!
	♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack: Resistance is feudal, Rev Rab! Listener Barba Yiorgi was in a great "Greek gangsta folk" group that had a monthly residency around the corner from us, but very sadly, his partner in that died of COVID in 2020. If you see an FMU shirt at the gig, though, morph, could be BY!
	2:46pm davefromtoronto: He calls her a tramp like that’s a bad thing…
	🌮 ♥ 2:47pm Bruce S.: Yesterday there was Johnny, Frankie,and Eddie

	2:56pm Mister Dobalina: How time flies when you're having a good time, gracias Rex!!!

	🌮 ♥ 1:55pm Mailman Tom: Chuck McCann was the announcer for the 1969 ABC-TV show, Turn On. It was cancelled after just one show because of jokes that were done in poor taste. For example: A beautiful woman is standing before a firing squad. The squad leader, instead of saying the customary.

	1:58pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Chuck was great in the movie, THE PROJECTIONIST...

	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...listening to this Program I suddenly realize how down to earth Big Joe Turner really was by comparison...

	♥ 2:24pm Handy Haversack: For REALS, Hubig. Though I just checked with Bagpipe: it's definitely Saturday.
	🌮 ♥ 2:25pm Bruce S.: oh this is great!
	🌮 ♥ 2:25pm Mailman Tom: Bob Kane was full of himself. Bill Finger was short changed by this ego maniac.
	2:27pm Sylvia's Mother: Some of the other chicks on NYC's on the garage & soul scene should listen to The Skopes!
	2:27pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	2:28pm morphe': Chitlins: " In many ways, chitterlings have become as much a delicacy as escargots or foie gras. People of varied income levels and ethnic backgrounds enjoy chitterlings. Many grew up on them and appreciate them as a comfort food. And while cleaning them is an odious, unpleasant task because of their strong odor and the fat, grit and even bits of corn that can take hours to scrape out, you don't have to deal with that if you leave the work to someone else. (In some regions, chitterlings are cooked and eaten only during months that include an "r," as in September through April, when temperatures are cooler and the strong odor is more tolerable.) With salt, pepper and hot sauce on top and slaw, potato salad and cornbread on the side, chitterlings are a magnificent feast." https://www.post-gazette.com/life/food/2006/04/02/Loved-and-reviled-chitterlings-are-the-ultimate-in-soul-food/stories/200604020141
	2:28pm Kev Cos: Rex, Bro, I just got back to my swingin' bachelor pad. MONDO REQUEST (not really with the show's format): Chuck lively danced (like your current video) lip synched, with an old fashioned acoustic hand-held cheerleader-type megaphone: "Winchester Cathedral." All The Best, Kev Cos
	🌮 ♥ 2:28pm Bruce S.: It took Bill Finger Many Years to get his Due Credit for Batman
	🌮 ♥ 2:29pm Mailman Tom: Yes. Many decades!

	2:40pm egould310: Was that XETRA 690 from Baja California? I used to listen to the Jim Rome show, and other talk radio on that transmitter back in 1993-1994. My friend and I would call in one talk show (don’t remember the name) and insult each other in the wee hours. He was Alex from Anaheim, I was Evan from Venice. Looks like it transmits Chinese language programming now.
	2:41pm davefromtoronto: Wasn’t he part of the wrecking crew?
	🌮 ♥ 2:41pm TheManWhoLaughs: If I said this in English I could turn this station into a parking lot!!
	♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack: Resistance is feudal, Rev Rab! Listener Barba Yiorgi was in a great "Greek gangsta folk" group that had a monthly residency around the corner from us, but very sadly, his partner in that died of COVID in 2020.
