	👻 8:02pm DanFA: Howdy Becky. Is tonight's show the pre-GOP debate show?
	👻 8:02pm Destroit: Tonk Team assemble
	8:03pm ultradamno: I have resolved not to see Saw X until I see an ad or trailer that calls it 'socks' as I have this whole time.
	👻 8:03pm Voof: Love that banjo!
	8:04pm luka: that’s some pickin
	8:04pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi Becky, gang!
	8:04pm Robm: ↳ DanFA @8:02 would rather listen this then watch the debate howdy fellow tonkers
	👻 8:05pm DanFA: Shout out to Uncle John.
	8:05pm The Butterman: Joe Maphis really needs to pick banjer faster.
	👻 8:05pm DanFA: ↳ Robm @8:04 Well the debate doesn't start til 9, so you're in luck.
	8:06pm ultradamno: Wasn't it definitively concluded last time that they are all losers?
	👻 8:07pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @8:03 There's a Saw X? Holy moley. I thought there were just a few, like 3.
	8:08pm ultradamno: Nope, jigsaw keeps coming www.imdb.com...
	8:08pm ultradamno: You'd think Chucky would be ahead, but even with the TV show....
	👻 8:09pm PigeonsAndRust: Thank gawd for this show!
	8:10pm Becky: Howdy folks! That Saw guy has had "terminal cancer" for like two decades now
	8:10pm Robm: ↳ DanFA @8:05 good will miss it then, would rather listen too therese
	8:11pm P-90: Yep, thank gawd for Honky Tonk Radio Girl! And big balls…
	👻 8:13pm PigeonsAndRust: I had a coworker whose wife was mysteriously near death for the decade he worked there. I saw her at the Christmas party a few years in a row and she seemed normal? The guy didn't seem to be a liar but I never knew what to believe, so I went with my own eyes
	8:14pm Becky: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:13 If he was using it to get days off, technically we're all terminal at some point??
	8:16pm Becky: ↳ Becky @8:14 OR! she could have been the grifter all along
	👻 8:16pm Voof: I had a coworker who had about 5 grandmothers die, all on a Friday. Go figure! lol
	👻 8:17pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Becky @8:16 I never thought of that!
	8:19pm G: ↳ Voof @8:16 If you taught students (as I do, grad students!), you’d hear stories like this almost every week. I just reply that that’s terrible and all my sympathy (without believing it ever, though it could even be true occasionally), and then ask “when can you get it in?”
	8:21pm luka: ↳ G @8:19 i love this
	8:21pm ACIDCAJUAL88: I love your show are used to ride the Wabash cannonball at Opryland amusement park in Tennessee when I was five circa 1977 it was a roller coaster it had 3 Very Tight Loop de loops. My wallet fell out when I was really little and I have my name written on the card and nothing else in it and I hadn’t returned to meet in the mail.
	👻 8:22pm Mr. Fine Wine: My dog ate my grandmother
	👻 8:22pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ G @8:19 Whats funny is when you have an excuse no one will believe, or it sounds ridiculous. I had to reschedule a few customers this past week because my parrot has been sick and had to go to the vet a couple of times. But after the first time I said it it was just easier to say "my van broke down" And then my van DID break down! What a life
	👻 8:23pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:13 we got a guy where one of his family is in the hospital every week and it just rotates family members..🤷🏻‍♂️
	8:25pm Becky: ↳ ACIDCAJUAL88 @8:21 this is a great story and I will think of it every time I listen to Wabash Cannonball now
	8:26pm Becky: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:22 Aw, how is parrot?
	8:29pm Becky: FABULOUS site with info on Gar Bacon: kimsloans.wordpress.com...
	👻 8:29pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Becky @8:26 Oh thanks for asking, Becky! Much better now, he is on two different antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. I have to give him four doses a day by oral syringe and it is a real struggle--he already bit the end off two of the syringes. But I'm just happy for him to be feisty and bopping to the radio again
	8:30pm Becky: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:29 What kind of parrot is he?
	👻 8:32pm DanFA: ↳ Becky @8:10 Would The Cramps work if you're looking for Halloween-themed rockabilly?
	8:33pm steveo: Heyo! Enjoying the show! HBD EFD!
	👻 8:34pm Voof: Gar Bacon sounds like something you find at a Buc-ee's
	8:34pm P-90: Happy Birthday @DJ efd!
	8:35pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "I'd Like To" by "Wiley Barkdull & Helen Carter" ⭐️ loved that! happy bday, efd! and greetings, Becky and company!
	8:36pm ultradamno: ↳ DanFA @8:32 There's also these comps www.discogs.com... www.discogs.com...
	8:36pm luka: i passed on seeing willie a month ago because it was a wed. night. i blew it.
	8:36pm turtles: Will you marry me, honky Tonk radio girl?
	8:36pm Becky: ↳ luka @8:36 I would have forgiven you!
	8:38pm Becky: ↳ turtles @8:36 Respectfully, no. But thanks for the offer!
	👻 8:39pm Voof: ↳ luka @8:36 I had tickets tonight to see Brian Setzer, but I'm not feeling too great. Sucks.
	👻 8:40pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Becky @8:30 He's a golden-capped conure ! It took me a while to figure out as they aren't all that common. Someone brought him to my friend's junk store 16 years and many bites ago
	8:40pm luka: ↳ Voof @8:39 don’t be hard on yourself it’s hard to go out sometimes
	8:41pm turtles: It was worth a try.
	8:41pm Daybreak!: I saw Wille at play with his fantastic son, at the outlaw fest in July. He's still got the voice! He plays decently, but has understandably lost some of his dexterity in his hands.
	8:42pm Becky: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:40 My grandma owned 15-20 birds at a time for my whole childhood and adulthood until she passed away, including an African Grey and a Cockatoo!
	8:45pm P-90: I love Cockatoos and African Grays (known as the best talkers!) Also Amazon Blues.
	8:48pm steveo: What instrument did you play?
	👻 8:48pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Becky @8:42 Wow, that's a lot to care for! And the big ones get jealous and depressed if they don't get enough attention I am kind of sorry I didn't buy a cockatoo that was in a pawnshop (now closed) in Kerhonkson NY. The story they told was that its previous owner had it trained for Barnum and Bailey's. If it was in the right mood, and you put dollars and change in front of it, it would add it up and tell you the total. I tried and the first time it just gave me a dirty look but the second time it said "dollar thirty" ! They wanted $2k which in retrospect is a bargain, but at the moment it seemed extravagant
	8:49pm steveo: Drum major, wow!
	👻 8:50pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ steveo @8:49 You can tell from listening to this show Becky is born to lead
	8:50pm Becky: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:48 My grandma also had ~20 grandchildren so the birds got lots of attention!
	8:51pm Christie: Fellow Metuchen native here! I didn't go to MHS but I did play clarinet. Metuchen poet-John Ciardi? Love the show!
	👻 8:52pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Becky @8:50 God bless your grandmother!
	8:52pm (((Murakami Whywolf): John Ciardi, evidently, was from Metuchen. I like his translation/version of Dante's "The Divine Comedy", growing-up speaking Italian is said to have helped him do it.
	👻 8:52pm Deano de los Muertos: I’ve only ever owned a cockatiel as far as birds go, but I miss him and would totally get another
	8:53pm Becky: ↳ Christie @8:51 Thank you! Yes.
	8:55pm Becky: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @8:52 My grandma had cockatiels too. One of them was named Otis after Otis Redding and could whistle the whistle solo from Dock of the Bay!
	8:55pm Dano59: nice how he quoted his song "A-11" there.
	👻 8:57pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Becky @8:55 That’s amazing, I love Otis
	8:58pm Dano59: ↳ ultradamno @8:36 also the Wavy Gravy / Four Hairy Policemen comps; and Jefrrey Lewis' monster songs
	👻 8:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky! (Just getting here.)
	👻 8:58pm DanFA: Great way to end the show.
	8:59pm steveo: Wonderful show thanks Becky!
	👻 8:59pm brycepunk1: Great show, as always. Thank you :)
	9:00pm Daybreak!: Keep flogging that banjo and have a good night!
	👻 9:00pm Voof: Great show, thank you!
	👻 9:00pm Deano de los Muertos: until next week, Becky and tonkers. Thanks Becky!! 🤠
	9:00pm spodiodi: great show. thank you!
	👻 9:00pm PigeonsAndRust: Thanks Becky!!
	👻 9:01pm DanFA: I think Jigsaw got Becky.
	9:01pm steveo: Liked that hot needle lift
