	⚡ 4:33am Heidee: Brian, so lovely of you sharing. You are just a 'pop star', manifested. 😘 Great you keep it lighthearted. Continued good health to you!
	4:34am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:33 Sleep well, Tom Tom.
	4:35am Brian D: Cheers, Heidee. I try to keel it lighthearted. Don't always succeed.
	4:37am Brian D: keep
	⚡ 4:38am Heidee: 💪♡
	4:44am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:31 In Al Ain, is out in the desert. Its the oasis. Long old 18
	4:45am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @4:38 Hiyaaa :)
	4:45am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:35 I always enjoy the show Bri :) fan for years now
	4:45am Derek Westerholm: Nighty-night (morning?) Saturday (Sunday?) people...
	4:46am Derek Westerholm: ...See you soon, I hope. Excellent listening, Brian
	4:47am Brian D: Thanks Paulo, and thank you Derek.
	4:49am StringOFperils: Hi, Brian. I'll step in for Derek in Toronto (represent!), as I can't sleep AGAIN. Yawn.
	4:50am Brian D: Sorry String, but good to have you. I actually watched Hockey Night earlier.
	4:52am Derek Westerholm: ↳ StringOFperils @4:49 Ha, one last sleepy-headed shout-out to String... Thanks for taking over the too-late-to-be-up shift. Find rest soon!
	4:53am StringOFperils: Hope it was edifying. I've never been able to wrap my mind around hockey...I was always a kid that rocked a set of watercolours or something while other kids were chasing that puck
	4:54am StringOFperils: ↳ Derek Westerholm @4:52 You too! To sleep, perchance to buy records...
	⚡ 4:54am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @4:45 Hi my pal! Good resolutions! I'm with ya on the detox front (decluttering relates to so many areas...) Keep strong! 🌶
	⚡ 4:58am Heidee: yes
	5:02am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @4:54 The wife is on a de-clutter mission. She's a messy one fair play haha
	5:02am Paulo AD: We went to see Jimmy Carr last night, he's brutal
	⚡ 5:02am Brian in UK: Brian, I Imagine that you have mentioned the speaker fiasco. Democracy is not messy when manged by adults.
	5:03am Brian D: Jimmy Carr playing AD?
	5:03am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @5:02 I haven't actually. It's been getting so much coverage I kinda thought, "Why bother?" But yes, a fiasco.
	⚡ 5:04am Brian in UK: ↳ Paulo AD @5:02 But is he funny without being nasty?
	5:04am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:03 Yeah, cray right. Not sure how the locals took him. Alot of it was past close to the bone
	5:05am Brian D: I bet.
	5:06am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian in UK @5:04 Most of the time he's funny, not a ls funny as the last time I saw him. He seems to have leaned into the "edgy comedian" personality. Though an antivaxxer had it both barrels last night, as did a trump supporter which I personally enjoyed
	⚡ 5:06am Brian in UK: Sounds a bit like Rik Mayall playing a northren working mens club.
	5:06am Brian D: I don't have a problem with his kind of comedy -- but if you go that route, you better be funny.
	5:07am StringOFperils: ↳ Brian in UK @5:02 It's why Plato regarded democracy as the lowest form of civic organization; it's a sprawling chaotic mess in which nothing can be accomplished. That being said, the autocracy he was speaking to executed him in the public centre of Athens. So, go figure
	5:07am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:06 Oh 100%
	5:08am StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @5:07 Socrates actually....Plato left the account of it
	5:10am Brian D: Socrates also said, "I drank what?"
	5:10am Brian D: Sorry. Old joke.
	5:11am StringOFperils: The new Speaker of the House might leave me asking,"I'm drinking how much??!!"
	5:11am StringOFperils: What a shit-show. Yeesh
	⚡ 5:11am Brian in UK: ↳ StringOFperils @5:07 Socrates, a lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed (M Python)
	5:12am StringOFperils: Ha ha ha.
	5:12am Brian D: Politics in the US has devolved beyond dysfunctional, at this point. The right is a bunch of trolls; the left are spineless.
	5:13am StringOFperils: ↳ Brian D @5:12 Time for a new politics. The customary form of dissolution of things as they are worries the crap out of me though.
	⚡ 5:14am Brian in UK: Time for a drink then!!! Tea ofcourse.
	5:17am Brian D: Put the kettle on, Brian. My tea has gotten cold.
	⚡ 5:18am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:12 Time for coffee. Your description of the state of U.S. politics in the U.S. democracy is apt, Brian. And now for the deeper diagnosis.
	5:18am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @5:13 Me too, String. As it should.
	5:32am Brian D: More on homelessness, a bit closer to, uh, home, for those interested: www.npr.org...
	5:34am Chris Crisco: Rebels without a clue fucking with other rebels without a clue. Mean Margie Green is now the level headed one of this sick bunch. Insane Clown is laughing his ass off. Putin has run out of asses to laugh off.
	5:37am StringOFperils: 'Temporary camps' with 'law enforcement' and doctors that one gets handed over to. Hmmm. What does that remind me of?
	5:37am Brian D: Exactly, String.
	⚡ 5:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ StringOFperils @5:37 That's what they do with losers in the gainful game -- an efficient solution.
	⚡ 5:43am Heidee: Great show, Brian, as always. Bye for now, have a guid week all. x
	5:44am Brian D: Thank you, Heidee. You too!
	⚡ 5:44am Michael of Cologne: Universal Tonality yeah.
	5:47am morphe': Was out in the cold night this week in A'dam and thought, as I often have, though ya see people who "appear homeless" in the day, it is rare to see someone sleeping rough??? https://www.stoelenproject.nl/en/homepage
	5:47am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Silver Sunshine" by "William Parker" Wow, this is really good :)
	⚡ 5:48am Michael of Cologne: All that talk of Almighty God in Amerika, only, the god worshipped is the unknown, hidden god Pleon Exia. It's become a cliché that the American Dream is a nightmare.
	5:51am LiXiviated Life: Hi
	5:53am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone great show as always!
	5:53am morphe': Thanks BD and all!!!
	5:54am Brian D: Belated hello Lix and Morphe.
	⚡ 5:56am Brian in UK: Nice work, Mr D.
	5:56am Alex in NJ via KY: Nice track B
	5:56am StringOFperils: Thanks Brian and all, for keeping me and my insomnia company. A bit like waking up from my restless sleep ranting, but...I guess it's good to be alive. Bon matin, tout le monde!
	5:56am morphe': ↳ Brian D @5:54 Arrived late so no belations required... Some A'dam specifics.. https://whatsupwithamsterdam.com/homeless-in-amsterdam/
	5:57am Brian D: Thank you all. As always an absolute pleasure. Have a great week and stay safe.
	5:59am StringOFperils: Lyra. That's my cat's name.
	6:00am upstatesean: Hey there 🌙

	5:07am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:06 Oh 100%
	5:08am StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @5:07 Socrates actually....Plato left the account of it
	5:10am Brian D: Socrates also said, "I drank what?"
	5:10am Brian D: Sorry. Old joke.
	5:11am StringOFperils: The new Speaker of the House might leave me asking,"I'm drinking how much??!!"
	5:11am StringOFperils: What a shit-show. Yeesh
	⚡ 5:11am Brian in UK: ↳ StringOFperils @5:07 Socrates, a lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed (M Python)
	5:12am StringOFperils: Ha ha ha.
	5:12am Brian D: Politics in the US has devolved beyond dysfunctional, at this point. The right is a bunch of trolls; the left are spineless.
	5:13am StringOFperils: ↳ Brian D @5:12 Time for a new politics. The customary form of dissolution of things as they are worries the crap out of me though.
	⚡ 5:14am Brian in UK: Time for a drink then!!! Tea ofcourse.
	5:17am Brian D: Put the kettle on, Brian. My tea has gotten cold.
	⚡ 5:18am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:12 Time for coffee. Your description of the state of U.S. politics in the U.S. democracy is apt, Brian. And now for the deeper diagnosis.
	5:18am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @5:13 Me too, String. As it should.
	5:32am Brian D: More on homelessness, a bit closer to, uh, home, for those interested: www.npr.org...
	5:34am Chris Crisco: Rebels without a clue fucking with other rebels without a clue. Mean Margie Green is now the level headed one of this sick bunch. Insane Clown is laughing his ass off. Putin has run out of asses to laugh off.
	5:37am StringOFperils: 'Temporary camps' with 'law enforcement' and doctors that one gets handed over to. Hmmm. What does that remind me of?
	5:37am Brian D: Exactly, String.
	⚡ 5:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ StringOFperils @5:37 That's what they do with losers in the gainful game -- an efficient solution.
	⚡ 5:43am Heidee: Great show, Brian, as always. Bye for now, have a guid week all. x
	5:44am Brian D: Thank you, Heidee. You too!
	⚡ 5:44am Michael of Cologne: Universal Tonality yeah.
	5:47am morphe': Was out in the cold night this week in A'dam and thought, as I often have, though ya see people who "appear homeless" in the day, it is rare to see someone sleeping rough??? https://www.stoelenproject.nl/en/homepage
	5:47am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Silver Sunshine" by "William Parker" Wow, this is really good :)
	⚡ 5:48am Michael of Cologne: All that talk of Almighty God in Amerika, only, the god worshipped is the unknown, hidden god Pleon Exia. It's become a cliché that the American Dream is a nightmare.
	5:51am LiXiviated Life: Hi
	5:53am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone great show as always!
	5:53am morphe': Thanks BD and all!!!
	5:54am Brian D: Belated hello Lix and Morphe.
	⚡ 5:56am Brian in UK: Nice work, Mr D.
	5:56am Alex in NJ via KY: Nice track B
	5:56am StringOFperils: Thanks Brian and all, for keeping me and my insomnia company. A bit like waking up from my restless sleep ranting, but...I guess it's good to be alive. Bon matin, tout le monde!
	5:56am morphe': ↳ Brian D @5:54 Arrived late so no belations required... Some A'dam specifics.. https://whatsupwithamsterdam.com/homeless-in-amsterdam/
	5:57am Brian D: Thank you all. As always an absolute pleasure. Have a great week and stay safe.
	5:59am StringOFperils: Lyra. That's my cat's name.
	6:00am upstatesean: Hey there 🌙
