Listener comments!
	3:02am Foutracbaldisco: Hello Brian, Keri and all!
	3:02am Scott67: G'day Brian! Throwing us a juicy bones first up mate! 🍻🌏☀️📻🎶🍻😎🤙🦴
	3:06am Brian D: Hello Scott and Fout! Glad you like the start.
	⚡ 3:07am Don in Tampere: Good morning! Tuned in just to hear about the latest misogynist nonsense brouhaha. At least I am assuming you're referring to Sanna Marin's party photos. No one seems to remember that President Kekkonen was known for getting totally shitfaced, which Marin has never done. A quiet, grey and misty morning here in the forest.
	3:09am Scott67: Why aren't we Pets yet?
	3:09am Brian D: Yes, Don. I'm going to cover the Marin story here, lightheartedly. You know I think all of this "controversy" is absurd.
	3:12am Scott67: Not so sure we'd make great Pets though! We shit where we stand!🌏
	⚡ 3:12am Don in Tampere: The song you've got cued up went viral in Finland :D
	3:12am Brian D: I feel like we're well on our way to petdom, @Scott.
	3:13am Scott67: How fucked up is that Neanderthal "she mustn't" shit!
	3:15am Scott67: Maybe you Americans are a little further down the Domestication & Pedigree stage mate!
	3:15am Brian D: We've had at least two current/former drug users as presidents here in the US and no one batted an eyelash. They were called "Christian presidents."
	3:15am Brian D: I'm a good boy, @Scott.
	3:16am Scott67: Fucken oath Brian!
	3:18am Chris Crisco: Kia Ora from down under New Zealand. Florida could have had a crackhead as governor. Would have been better off than the Nazi shit they have now.
	3:20am Scott67: G'day from Oz Chris!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌏
	3:21am Chris Crisco: Cheers @Scott67
	3:29am Brian D: Belated welcome, @Chris.
	3:30am Brian D: I forgot to pull the YLT 45 from the library and only remembered with about two minutes left on VU. I haven't run that fast in years.
	3:31am J-W from B: Goodmorning all! What a great set so far! Makes me drive too fast 😜. But I’ll be worked up nicely for my training session.
	3:32am Brian D: Welcome J-W. Drive safe.
	3:32am WFMU As Adversary: Give my regards to Keri!
	3:36am WFMU As Adversary: a Yo No Tengo narrowly avoided
	3:41am Brian D: Well played @As Adversary.
	⚡ 3:47am Michael of Cologne: 'Morning Brian & all. Games Com this week in Cologne. Loud partying on the Ring. Didn't go.
	3:50am Paulo AD: Howdy all :) currently (pun intended) in the gym

	4:24am FletcherNYC: Who is he speaking to? Just came in.
	4:25am Brian D: Keri Blakinger, journalist and author of Corrections in Ink, @Fletcher.
	4:27am FletcherNYC: Thanks Brian!
	4:33am Brian D: Hey Paulo. Excited to see Real at Celtic Park, but could see us getting pumped in all 6 matches.
	4:48am WFMU As Adversary: Great interview Brian! The criminal justice system appears to be abysmal in the United States. I would like to reiterate something you said Brian...I've had multiple interactions with the police that could have ended much differently, if it weren't for my skin tone.
	4:50am Brian D: Thank you, As Adv. Glad you enjoyed. And yes, people of color have a much different experience.
	4:57am PaulRobeson1922: lawenforcementactionpartnership.org... Hi Brian D. & Keri Blakinger! Hi all! the Pudge sent me
	5:00am PaulRobeson1922: www.nytimes.com...
	5:02am Brian D: Great links @PaulRobeson. Thank you for sharing and welcome.
	⚡ 5:03am Brian in UK: Greetings Brian & early birds. Listening whilst creosoting the chicken coop.
	5:04am PaulRobeson1922: Half of all people in jail & Prison have a definable and treatable mental illness and of that population 60% have used an illicit drug the previous month to incarceration
	5:04am Brian D: Hello Brian. Man, if I had a penny for every listener who was creosoting their chicken coops.
	5:05am Brian D: Indeed @Paul. And none of them get the care they need.
	5:08am Robini: G'moring Brian, first time, long time. I just never seem to log-in before sunrise. Powerful program today!
	5:10am Brian D: Glad to have you, Robini. Thank you.
	⚡ 5:15am Brian in UK: Brian, very good. Just bought my first copy of The New European newspaper, no overt political bias except for the name!
	5:16am Brian D: I'll check that out myself, Brian.
	5:18am PaulRobeson1922: -published by Random House in 1998 drugcrazy.com Prohibition is an awful flop. We like it. It can't stop what it's meant to stop. We like it. It's left a trail of graft and slime, It won't prohibit worth a dime, It's filled our land with vice and crime. Nevertheless, we're for it.
	⚡ 5:28am Michael of Cologne: Portrait of Linda -- ecstatic!
	5:50am fred: Interesting/unexpected contributors in Omerta: the bass player is also in France and Tanz Mein Herz, and the record was mixed by Ernest Bergez aka Sourdure. I didn't expect such connections with La Novia...
	5:52am Brian D: The record, what I've heard of it, is amazing, Fred.
	⚡ 5:55am Michael of Cologne: Elegy for Language We fashioned you to our purposes, scarified you 'til you were sore, proceeded with excoriation, to strip you to the core Now we only talk in clichés, don't listen to you any more
	5:56am Brian D: Alright all. That's almost it for me. My thanks again to Keri Blakinger (keriblakinger.com) and all of you for joining me. Stay safe and have a great week!
	5:56am Scott67: Thanks Brian, always with the worthy music & meaning mate! 🌏✌️😎🤙🌻
	5:57am fred: Thanks Brian!
	5:57am Foutracbaldisco: Thank you Brian!
	⚡ 5:58am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, Brian!
