	3:01am devlwan: its good.
	⚡ 3:03am Don in Tampere: Good morning Brian, deviwan, and probably the usual Currents crowd! Finally made it up for the beginning again.
	3:03am Scott67: G'day Brian & Currents Crew! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	3:06am Brian D: Abbie and I made that seem professional! Hello everyone!
	⚡ 3:07am tom tom the pipers son: hi brian and folks
	3:10am Ciggy: Trading Places are we
	⚡ 3:16am Don in Tampere: That raid on the Reichsbürger was bizarre. I do wonder how delusional 50 people had to be to think that they could take over the government, but they could have nonetheless caused a lot of damage and killed and injured a lot of people . Imagine if the US had done that early enough with the Proud Boys, Oathtakers etc.
	3:20am Brian D: Bizarre indeed, Don. But these are bizarre times.
	3:27am Ciggy: They called it Day X
	3:52am fred: Hello Brian and listeners
	3:54am Brian D: Fred!
	4:03am Destroit: Hey hey hey!
	4:05am fred: Sending get well wishes to Shane MacGowan. I only saw The Pogues once, but I remember going to my fave pub in college and being told they were out of Guinness because The Pogues had shown up unannounced the day before. Turned out OK, the owner schooled me about whiskey that day to make up for it
	⚡ 4:05am tom tom the pipers son: typo brian... portugal not spain
	4:06am Brian D: Thanks Tom Tom. Had Spain on the brain.
	4:06am Ciggy: Congrats to Morocco Farewell to CR7
	4:07am Brian D: And Fred, fortunate enough to see the Pogues a few times. Their performance usually depended on how Shane was "feeling," but I never had a bad time at one of their shows.
	⚡ 4:07am tom tom the pipers son: de nada
	4:08am Brian D: Morocco were fantastic yesterday. I'm not sure that wanker from Sky sports gave them their due.
	4:10am Destroit: Morocco has been airtight from the jump. Add in a hot Keeper, proving tough to beat
	4:12am Brian D: The commentators here keep talking about Bono (the Morocco keeper) as an "emerging star." He's been outstanding in La Liga for some time.
	⚡ 4:12am tom tom the pipers son: @brian, i learned about hamish kilgour's disappearance on your show last week, really thought he would show up fine, so sad that wasn't the case
	4:14am Destroit: My first look at Bono. I don’t watch la liga.
	4:15am Brian D: You're missing something, Destroit. And yes, Tom Tom. Very sad.
	4:16am Destroit: And Pogues are my on my “top 3 bands i’ll never get to see” lists.
	4:18am LiXiviated Life: hello to all you dark night button pushers
	⚡ 4:22am Don in Tampere: I saw the Pogues only once, I think 1985 in Zurich. It was pretty shambolic but fun.
	4:27am Paulo AD: What is up dudes I'm here in Iceland with nothing but a jumper, tshirt and jeans. Fucking airlines
	4:27am Brian D: Hello Lix. Hey Paulo. Shit, that sucks.
	4:28am Paulo AD: Brian, I have Morocco in the sweepstakes so they are my team of the tournament (after Wales obvs) And yupx sucks. Ruining my wife's 40th birthday
	4:29am Paulo AD: So we're lying in bed listening to the tunes and drinking Welsh whiskey for breakfast
	4:29am Brian D: Ack. Terrible, Paulo. Make the best of it. And happy birthday to K.
	4:29am Paulo AD: Thanks dude, I'll pass it along :)
	4:31am LiXiviated Life: Paulo AD Let me check my understanding You’re problem is: Freezing in Iceland Or Being in Iceland
	4:34am Ciggy: Shadow Army Northern Cross Franco A.
	⚡ 4:36am Michael of Cologne: GdDay Brian & all on this Cologne cold matinée. Even the pigeons have sought shelter. Keeping their feet warm.
	4:37am LiXiviated Life: Would life be simpler if the solution to all our problems, was assimilation to the simulation ?
	4:39am Brian D: Hello Michael!
	4:40am Barrie_: If it's any consolation, I also had a terrible plumbing mishap this week and also made it worse panicking trying to make it better. When the system itself fails, try not to blame yourself for what happens after and be glad that no one got hurt. In my case it was the fire department and then the insurance adjuster who consoled me on that fact. I had water spraying at me at full pressure from an exploded mains valve that probably would not have exploded had it actually been inspected by the landlord's technicians, who had been in every day the week before doing repairs yet inspected nothing. I'm lucky I did not get the water jet in my face as I could have lost an eye (or two). Looks like they've got more repairs to do now, and not just in my apartment this time! 🤭
	⚡ 4:42am Don in Tampere: Barrie, what a nice story to hear at the beginning of the week that the plumber is supposed to come and finish installing the new water lines in the cabin :D
	4:42am Brian D: It's not any consolation, Barrie. Sorry for your troubles, but glad you're safe.
	⚡ 4:47am tom tom the pipers son: brian, did your plumbing mishap have anything to do with, in the words of nancy pelosi, poo poo?
	4:48am Barrie_: I'm sure in your case Don't you'll have a good Finnish union man and a certificate! My landlord takes shortcuts and does things the "easy" way. Brian: water is a crazy force and there is a whole lot of power in those skinny pipes! I'm glad you are OK! I was really shook up by my accident, it was pretty traumatising, not just the pain and stress but also the fear of repercussions. But when the help came - as it nearly always does - I tried to focus on the helpers and not my own misfortune and errors, which is of course tough to look past. A net positive if you will, despite the suffering...
	4:50am Paulo AD: Keri says thanks Bri, she also smiled which is a rarity these past two days
	4:56am Brian D: Good to hear, Paulo. And yes, Tom Tom, poo poo galore. Poor Alan.
	⚡ 4:56am tom tom the pipers son: bye brian, hafta split, thanks oh no about the poo poo... god bless
	4:57am Brian D: Have a good one, Tom Tom.
	4:59am Brian D: Barrie @4:48, that's a healthy outlook. I just feel bad because the DIY spirit here at FMU is so key. It's ASTH (ask someone to help).
	4:59am fred: Happy birthday Keri! I hope you'll find a way to enjoy Iceland anyway, it looks like an awesome place
	4:59am LiXiviated Life: I listen for the song of the dark wing Thrush in the winter woods
	⚡ 5:04am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & cohorts. If I was a betting man my money would have been on France from the off.
	⚡ 5:05am Brian in UK: Much more important is England playing Pakistan in Multan. Cricket that is.
	5:06am Brian D: Hello Brian. The smart money had the French all along.
	5:07am Brian Smith: darn. ambient.In the 80s we tuned on CBN in Ann Arbor and that is sometimes what we got. oh well. rock on fmu. luv u
	⚡ 5:09am Brian in UK: Glad yesterdays game showed that France are not just about one player. Still disappointed that England did not take if further.
	⚡ 5:09am Don in Tampere: Barrie, you're probably right; Finns are quite careful and picky about plumbing and electrical installations. So hopefully there will be no problems.
	⚡ 5:11am Brian in UK: If Morocco play Argentina in the final, the noise will off the scale.
	5:12am Brian D: This World Cup has been great -- on the pitch. Off it, well...
	5:18am devlwan: that youtube prank guy got overshadowed.
	5:21am Brian D: The Game Awards kid?
	5:24am fred: So France won? It's weird, there's usually a lot of noise in the neighborhood during soccer games, but nothing this time.
	5:27am Brian D: They didn't play well, Fred. Perhaps that's it? Also, I know a lot of people are boycotting the tournament.
	⚡ 5:28am Michael of Cologne: I've never understood why a football field is called a 'pitch' today. For me a pitch is for cricket or baseball. Slowly language loses its grip.
	5:35am Brian D: And why is Derby County's stadium called the Baseball Ground?
	⚡ 5:48am Michael of Cologne: And how do you hit a ball out of the ball park if it is in truth a ground?
	5:50am Brian D: Or hit a home run when you're not at home?
	⚡ 5:53am Michael of Cologne: And the ball is grounded in the ground?
	5:54am Brian D: We're leaving out why we Yanks insist on calling our sport with helmets "football," Michael.
