	1:09pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:07 Seems they were still around, but might have been pulled because they have the useless ingredient phenylephrine.
	1:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:06 maybe they should have called it the "guy lombardo experience"
	1:09pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:08 Don't forget the cat litter they track all over too. It gets everywhere.

	👻 1:13pm yerfriendpaul: Oh wow, remember when the tv used to do that? It didn’t stop the band, ha ha
	1:14pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:13 Just like changing the lyrics to Leroy Brown 'whole downtown, indeed.
	👻 1:15pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:09 By now I'm afraid Handy and K8 just list it as their secret cocktail ingredient
	👻 1:17pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:14 The producers probably thought “we’d better tame down the lyrics to this rebellious song”
	1:18pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:15 Some time ago, there were folks to promoted using fur to make yarn for knitting. No waste.
	1:18pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:17 Can't have any of the rock and roll, decent folks will be scandalized!
	1:18pm tom tom the pipers son: lawrence welk was still on tv about this time. what gives with all the nostalgia...
	1:18pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Krys O. @1:18 I've tried that and it is NOT easy to do!
	1:19pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:18 Nostalgia was big in the 70s.
	👻 1:20pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ NotARealDoctor @1:18 Ha ha!
	1:21pm tom tom the pipers son: then nostalgia was the escape, now it's "reality porn" tv
	👻 1:21pm yerfriendpaul: Krys, I feel I need to replay this show next New Year’s Eve. Even if we don’t have a party. I love it!
	1:22pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Krys O. @1:19 As we just learned, Grease was the number 1 film in 1978!
	1:22pm Krys O.: I think I was still babysitting on NYE though 1978 might have been my last one since I was 16.
	1:22pm Robm: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:18 wonnerful wonnerful
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Robm @1:22 ha! forgot that
	1:23pm Krys O.: ↳ Robm @1:22 Champagne Music is sweet music adjacent.
	👻 1:25pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:18 Getting cat to chase cat fur yarn, now that's recycling!
	👻 1:26pm spodiodi: comtrex, that's all. nothing else
	👻 1:26pm spodiodi: loving this
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:11 With all my allergies since childhood, I had to take Actifed or Chlor-Trimeton. We did have Dristan in the medicine cabinet.
	1:26pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @1:23 a local pbs station in southern florida would have this on saturdays, would watch it if there was nothing else on
	👻 1:26pm yerfriendpaul: I love hearing old commercials
	1:27pm Krys O.: I think your friends know you're using Grecian Formula.
	👻 1:27pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:26 I remember Actifed! I think my Mom gave us that for our allergies too
	👻 1:28pm fred: And they say WFMU doesn't air commercials
	1:28pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:26 Same! A few years ago, I would go through YouTube posts of commercials by year. Amazing stuff.
	👻 1:28pm spodiodi: ↳ fred @1:28 LOL
	1:29pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:28 I thought about putting the commercials through some sort of treatment.
	1:30pm NotARealDoctor: Wow! Can't believe they let us have another year!
	👻 1:30pm yerfriendpaul: Happy New Year, everyone!!! Hugs! Kisses!!
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:28 searched yt for the eyewitness news commercials w/ roger grimsby, very funny
	1:31pm Krys O.: I was around the corner from Times Square on NYE 1982. My friends and I were waiting on a line to get into a Kid Creole & the Coconuts show, however, it was oversold and we were turned away. Lots of crashing glass bottles and noise in Times Square. You'll never catch me doing that again.
	1:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:09 OK. Better. Krys, with the kittens, we switched to World's Best Cat Litter, and so far I have no arguments with the name. It really seems to track less. All goes on the mats by the boxes and seems to stay there.
	1:32pm Krys O.: I wish this party had some Lanzi's Cashew Nut and Rice Crunch.
	1:33pm Handy Haversack: Follow-up question: I'm wearing the Cycloptopus shirt today. Is there a Church of the Sub-Genius connection? The iconography of the pipe looks awfully familiar.
	👻 1:34pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:32 Or some Doo Dads! My folks brought out the Doo Dads out when they had company over
	1:34pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:34 Oh, I'd be there in a flash for those.
	👻 1:35pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:34 Ha ha!
	1:36pm NotARealDoctor: Gosh I wish I had some Lanzi's Cashew Nut and Rice Crunch right now, I'm on lunch break and could use that pick me up
	1:37pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:33 Oh, that is a Kaz design. Kaz knew about the Church. For a while Kaz would always have a bone, a pool of ooze or other image in every illustration. It was like an homage to Ernie Bushmiller or George Herriman's signatures.
	1:38pm NotARealDoctor: Am I supposed to taste the moist and chunky or is the dog?
	1:39pm Krys O.: ↳ NotARealDoctor @1:38 I saw an ad recently where a guy said he was going to eat dog food to prove a point. It was just a clickbait teaser.
	1:40pm tom tom the pipers son: charlie brown... dream girl...?
	1:40pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:40 The little red-headed girl.
	1:41pm Krys O.: Get up and boogie with the Royal Canadians!
	1:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:37 Gotcha, thanks, Krys! Your deep station knowledge is such a gift to the rest of us!
	1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:42 My pleasure.
	1:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:40 oh, i do not remember that one, did charlie lose his virginity? don't answer that...
	👻 1:43pm yerfriendpaul: I think Charlie Brown and Marcie would’ve made a nice couple
	1:44pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:43 I'd watch that.
	1:47pm tom tom the pipers son: or charlie brown with a crush on peppermint patty which was unreciprocated for some reason
	👻 1:51pm yerfriendpaul: So nice to hear Marion Ross. She’s still with us. In her 90s now.
	1:51pm Krys O.: Rula Lenska!
	1:51pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:51 Indeed! Yes!
	1:52pm tom tom the pipers son: static cling was a problem with all the shag carpeting
	👻 1:52pm yerfriendpaul: Allka seltzer putting all their advertising budget into New Year’s Eve broadcast. Smart!
	1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:52 All that Karastan.
	1:53pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:52 It's their Super Bowl moment.
	👻 1:53pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:53 Ha ha, yes! They’re counting on the country overdoing it!
	1:56pm Krys O.: Cab made that 1964 hit by The Fortunes sound like it was from the 30s.
	👻 1:56pm yerfriendpaul: Love Cab Calloway! I little disco-fied Minnie the Moocher
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:56 Almost ska-like.
	👻 1:57pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:56 Yes!
	1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: yes was going to say same
	1:57pm Krys O.: Minnie the Moocher by Madness.
	👻 1:58pm spodiodi: yes yes yes
	👻 1:59pm yerfriendpaul: Darn, sounds like he had another verse in him before the station cut out for commercials
	2:00pm Handy Haversack: But doesn't "esoteric" mean "hidden"?
	2:01pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:00 Exactly. There's no floating up for age spots.
	👻 2:02pm yerfriendpaul: As a kid learning the piano in the 70s, Scott Joplin played a big part in those weekly practices
	2:03pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:02 Nice!
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: I guess the etymology comes from a "within" equivalent. At any rate, I'm sure it was made from virgins' tears and the exhalations of the condemned. For liability purposes.
	👻 2:03pm WR: The Entertainer, that movie soundtrack was several years before 78. Listening while running errands.
	2:04pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:03 Hydroquinone which like retinoic acid can cause redness and scaling.
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: "You're soaking in it!"
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: aren't laxatives 'unisex'
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: Man, VO5 had such a monopoly! Were they part of Ma Bell or something?
	2:07pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 It's the pink-ification of marketing.
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 "Brought to you by the yogurt that helps Jamie Lee Curtis poop!"
	2:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 Alberto-Culver was big for a while. It was bought out by Unilever.
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:08 Apparently, so has Brylcreem, which was my dad's go-to styling product.
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:07 aha krys...handy
	2:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:09 Ah, my dad used Clubman Pinaud.
	👻 2:11pm yerfriendpaul: That might have to be my new definitive version of Harper Valley PTA ha ha
	2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:11 Kenny definitely had fun singing that.
	2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: funny... more ska
	2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:12 Ha!
	👻 2:13pm fred: @Handy: I heard a few weeks ago that I did have some HR complaint filed. Since the Italian guy was the only one I even remotely supervised, he actually filed it! No way I can get the complaint though. My file is sealed because of feminist issues (a director acted on me being a gender traitor) I'd love to get the text of how Infinite Jest was worth an HR filing
	2:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:12 They also sort of make everything sound like "You Can Never Tell" / "C'est la Vie."
	👻 2:14pm yerfriendpaul: I need to start using the word predicated more
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:13 Oh, man. Don't you work for a govt. dept.? Could someone else request your file? An HR complaint about Infinite Jest is a VERY Infinite Jest thing to have happen. Like if Poor Tony Kraus had managed to get clean, you can just see this happening to them one day.
	2:16pm HyperDose: Krys! ❤️
	2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:13 chuck berry?
	2:16pm Krys O.: Hi, HyperDose!
	👻 2:18pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ HyperDose @2:16 Hey HyperDose! HNY!
	2:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:16 Oui.
	2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:18 cab calloway could probably still duck walk
	👻 2:22pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:15 Culture institute, nobody cares department. Fun in a way. I was assigned to gender sensibility training, ended up helping the trainer through her material. Many stories like that. I've been reported to HR for gender offenses a few times, always by men
	👻 2:23pm yerfriendpaul: That’s James Garner, right? Can’t mistake his voice
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: Ooof, Polaroid. Not cool.
	👻 2:24pm spodiodi: i think so
	2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: what year was annie hall?
	2:26pm tom tom the pipers son: "seems like old times" in that
	2:26pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:23 Definitely Jimmie Garner. He used to be paired with Mariette Hartley playing a bickering couple. Oy.
	👻 2:27pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks for playing this, Krys! I loved it
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:24 1977
	👻 2:27pm fred: ↳ fred @2:22 Those were informal complaints I heard about and that were shut down by female coworkers (it's kinda awkward for male directors to call sexual misbehavior then have female staffers deny it)
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:27 There's more Guy coming up.
	2:27pm HyperDose: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:18 Happy New Year to you and yours!
	👻 2:28pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 Excellent!! Keep it comin’!
	2:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 this stuff does produce a vibe effectively
	2:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:29 like someone wearing a lot of cologne
	👻 2:30pm yerfriendpaul: It’s starting to snow here in Rockaway. Adding to this nice experience
	2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:30 It's snowing lightly in Bloomfield too.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: Radar says it's snowing in Brooklyn, but someone forgot to tell the snow.
	👻 2:35pm yerfriendpaul: My Mom taught us how to do the Alley Cat. I think my Mom enjoyed it because her name was Alice and her friends used to call her Alley Cat
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:35 Sweet! I learned the Alley Cat playing with neighbors. It was a hit in 1962 by Bent Fabric whose real name was Bent Fabricius-Bjerre.
	👻 2:37pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:36 That’s a great name! Fabricius!
	👻 2:39pm fred: At last calls for real cold here. Nor looking forward to the snow/bus combo though
	2:43pm Mr Fab: This has been so awesome, Krys. Been listening as I putter around doing Saturday morning things.
	2:43pm Krys O.: Thanks, Mr. Fab!
	2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:39 I'm with you on that, fred. Fingers crossed for negligible accumulation.
	👻 2:45pm yerfriendpaul: Was Guy Lombardo an instrumentalist as well?
	2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:45 He played the violin.
	2:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:44 Current snow forecast for NYC/JC: 0". Is Bloomfield far enough inland that it gets snow when NYC gets rain?
	2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:45 I can see the Manhattan skyline from my bedroom window. Bloomfield is about ten miles from NYC. The snow is supposed to brief and changes to rain later.
	👻 2:48pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 Thanks! Doesn’t seem like he’s a featured violinist on these broadcasts. Is his main role the conducting?
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:48 I know I've been there, but it's been quite a while. A friend's mom lived there, but he moved to Scotland in 2015, so at least that long since I went out there.
	2:49pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:48 Yup. He was an iconic bandleader and a hydroplane racer.
	👻 2:50pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:49 Wow!
	👻 2:51pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:45 What's the forecast for cat cuddles?
	2:51pm Mr Fab: That was a cool version of “Desafinado.” Inauthentic bossa novas have their own charm.
	👻 2:52pm yerfriendpaul: I love the sound banjo in a big band
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:51 Mixed. The boys are positioned over the hot-water pipe under the kitchen floor, and Voltron is in the bed.
	2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys, nice that you are back...
	👻 2:54pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:53 HNY Handy to you K8 and the kitties!
	2:54pm HyperDose: Thanks ya, Krys. Take care 💜
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:54 And to you, Paul! And all the Coasters out there! Many thanks for hosting this bash, Krys! It's been swell!
	2:56pm Krys O.: Thank you, all! It's been a blast hanging out with you. Hope your year is filled with Instant Movies, Candy, and Sweet Music!
	👻 2:56pm WR: Happy New Year to all, and special thanks, Krys, for today's episode. Thank you for sharing these recordings with us.
	👻 2:56pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:53 Always know where Voltron is
	👻 2:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Krys! the nye 1978 part was great. a lot of fun today. thank you
	👻 2:57pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Krys!! Absolutely enjoyed today’s show! A New Year toast to you! : )

	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:11 With all my allergies since childhood, I had to take Actifed or Chlor-Trimeton. We did have Dristan in the medicine cabinet.
	1:26pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @1:23 a local pbs station in southern florida would have this on saturdays, would watch it if there was nothing else on
	👻 1:26pm yerfriendpaul: I love hearing old commercials
	1:27pm Krys O.: I think your friends know you're using Grecian Formula.
	👻 1:27pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:26 I remember Actifed! I think my Mom gave us that for our allergies too
	👻 1:28pm fred: And they say WFMU doesn't air commercials
	1:28pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:26 Same! A few years ago, I would go through YouTube posts of commercials by year. Amazing stuff.
	👻 1:28pm spodiodi: ↳ fred @1:28 LOL
	1:29pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:28 I thought about putting the commercials through some sort of treatment.
	1:30pm NotARealDoctor: Wow! Can't believe they let us have another year!
	👻 1:30pm yerfriendpaul: Happy New Year, everyone!!! Hugs! Kisses!!
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:28 searched yt for the eyewitness news commercials w/ roger grimsby, very funny
	1:31pm Krys O.: I was around the corner from Times Square on NYE 1982. My friends and I were waiting on a line to get into a Kid Creole & the Coconuts show, however, it was oversold and we were turned away. Lots of crashing glass bottles and noise in Times Square. You'll never catch me doing that again.
	1:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:09 OK. Better. Krys, with the kittens, we switched to World's Best Cat Litter, and so far I have no arguments with the name. It really seems to track less. All goes on the mats by the boxes and seems to stay there.
	1:32pm Krys O.: I wish this party had some Lanzi's Cashew Nut and Rice Crunch.
	1:33pm Handy Haversack: Follow-up question: I'm wearing the Cycloptopus shirt today. Is there a Church of the Sub-Genius connection? The iconography of the pipe looks awfully familiar.
	👻 1:34pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:32 Or some Doo Dads! My folks brought out the Doo Dads out when they had company over
	1:34pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:34 Oh, I'd be there in a flash for those.
	👻 1:35pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:34 Ha ha!
	1:36pm NotARealDoctor: Gosh I wish I had some Lanzi's Cashew Nut and Rice Crunch right now, I'm on lunch break and could use that pick me up
	1:37pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:33 Oh, that is a Kaz design. Kaz knew about the Church. For a while Kaz would always have a bone, a pool of ooze or other image in every illustration. It was like an homage to Ernie Bushmiller or George Herriman's signatures.
	1:38pm NotARealDoctor: Am I supposed to taste the moist and chunky or is the dog?
	1:39pm Krys O.: ↳ NotARealDoctor @1:38 I saw an ad recently where a guy said he was going to eat dog food to prove a point. It was just a clickbait teaser.
	1:40pm tom tom the pipers son: charlie brown... dream girl...?
	1:40pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:40 The little red-headed girl.
	1:41pm Krys O.: Get up and boogie with the Royal Canadians!
	1:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:37 Gotcha, thanks, Krys! Your deep station knowledge is such a gift to the rest of us!
	1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:42 My pleasure.
	1:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:40 oh, i do not remember that one, did charlie lose his virginity? don't answer that...
	👻 1:43pm yerfriendpaul: I think Charlie Brown and Marcie would’ve made a nice couple
	1:44pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:43 I'd watch that.
	1:47pm tom tom the pipers son: or charlie brown with a crush on peppermint patty which was unreciprocated for some reason
	👻 1:51pm yerfriendpaul: So nice to hear Marion Ross. She’s still with us. In her 90s now.
	1:51pm Krys O.: Rula Lenska!
	1:51pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:51 Indeed! Yes!
	1:52pm tom tom the pipers son: static cling was a problem with all the shag carpeting
	👻 1:52pm yerfriendpaul: Allka seltzer putting all their advertising budget into New Year’s Eve broadcast. Smart!
	1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:52 All that Karastan.
	1:53pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:52 It's their Super Bowl moment.
	👻 1:53pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:53 Ha ha, yes! They’re counting on the country overdoing it!
	1:56pm Krys O.: Cab made that 1964 hit by The Fortunes sound like it was from the 30s.
	👻 1:56pm yerfriendpaul: Love Cab Calloway! I little disco-fied Minnie the Moocher
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:56 Almost ska-like.
	👻 1:57pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:56 Yes!
	1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: yes was going to say same
	1:57pm Krys O.: Minnie the Moocher by Madness.
	👻 1:58pm spodiodi: yes yes yes
	👻 1:59pm yerfriendpaul: Darn, sounds like he had another verse in him before the station cut out for commercials
	2:00pm Handy Haversack: But doesn't "esoteric" mean "hidden"?
	2:01pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:00 Exactly. There's no floating up for age spots.
	👻 2:02pm yerfriendpaul: As a kid learning the piano in the 70s, Scott Joplin played a big part in those weekly practices
	2:03pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:02 Nice!
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: I guess the etymology comes from a "within" equivalent. At any rate, I'm sure it was made from virgins' tears and the exhalations of the condemned. For liability purposes.
	👻 2:03pm WR: The Entertainer, that movie soundtrack was several years before 78. Listening while running errands.
	2:04pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:03 Hydroquinone which like retinoic acid can cause redness and scaling.
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: "You're soaking in it!"
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: aren't laxatives 'unisex'
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: Man, VO5 had such a monopoly! Were they part of Ma Bell or something?
	2:07pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 It's the pink-ification of marketing.
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 "Brought to you by the yogurt that helps Jamie Lee Curtis poop!"
	2:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 Alberto-Culver was big for a while. It was bought out by Unilever.
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:08 Apparently, so has Brylcreem, which was my dad's go-to styling product.
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:07 aha krys...handy
	2:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:09 Ah, my dad used Clubman Pinaud.
	👻 2:11pm yerfriendpaul: That might have to be my new definitive version of Harper Valley PTA ha ha
	2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:11 Kenny definitely had fun singing that.
	2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: funny... more ska
	2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:12 Ha!
	👻 2:13pm fred: @Handy: I heard a few weeks ago that I did have some HR complaint filed. Since the Italian guy was the only one I even remotely supervised, he actually filed it! No way I can get the complaint though. My file is sealed because of feminist issues (a director acted on me being a gender traitor) I'd love to get the text of how Infinite Jest was worth an HR filing
	2:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:12 They also sort of make everything sound like "You Can Never Tell" / "C'est la Vie."
	👻 2:14pm yerfriendpaul: I need to start using the word predicated more
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:13 Oh, man. Don't you work for a govt. dept.? Could someone else request your file? An HR complaint about Infinite Jest is a VERY Infinite Jest thing to have happen. Like if Poor Tony Kraus had managed to get clean, you can just see this happening to them one day.
	2:16pm HyperDose: Krys! ❤️
	2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:13 chuck berry?
	2:16pm Krys O.: Hi, HyperDose!
	👻 2:18pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ HyperDose @2:16 Hey HyperDose! HNY!
	2:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:16 Oui.
	2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:18 cab calloway could probably still duck walk
	👻 2:22pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:15 Culture institute, nobody cares department. Fun in a way. I was assigned to gender sensibility training, ended up helping the trainer through her material. Many stories like that. I've been reported to HR for gender offenses a few times, always by men
	👻 2:23pm yerfriendpaul: That’s James Garner, right? Can’t mistake his voice
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: Ooof, Polaroid. Not cool.
	👻 2:24pm spodiodi: i think so
	2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: what year was annie hall?
	2:26pm tom tom the pipers son: "seems like old times" in that
	2:26pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:23 Definitely Jimmie Garner. He used to be paired with Mariette Hartley playing a bickering couple. Oy.
	👻 2:27pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks for playing this, Krys! I loved it
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:24 1977
	👻 2:27pm fred: ↳ fred @2:22 Those were informal complaints I heard about and that were shut down by female coworkers (it's kinda awkward for male directors to call sexual misbehavior then have female staffers deny it)
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:27 There's more Guy coming up.
	2:27pm HyperDose: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:18 Happy New Year to you and yours!
	👻 2:28pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 Excellent!! Keep it comin’!
	2:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 this stuff does produce a vibe effectively
	2:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:29 like someone wearing a lot of cologne
	👻 2:30pm yerfriendpaul: It’s starting to snow here in Rockaway. Adding to this nice experience
	2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:30 It's snowing lightly in Bloomfield too.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: Radar says it's snowing in Brooklyn, but someone forgot to tell the snow.
	👻 2:35pm yerfriendpaul: My Mom taught us how to do the Alley Cat. I think my Mom enjoyed it because her name was Alice and her friends used to call her Alley Cat
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:35 Sweet! I learned the Alley Cat playing with neighbors. It was a hit in 1962 by Bent Fabric whose real name was Bent Fabricius-Bjerre.
	👻 2:37pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:36 That’s a great name! Fabricius!
	👻 2:39pm fred: At last calls for real cold here. Nor looking forward to the snow/bus combo though
	2:43pm Mr Fab: This has been so awesome, Krys. Been listening as I putter around doing Saturday morning things.
	2:43pm Krys O.: Thanks, Mr. Fab!
	2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:39 I'm with you on that, fred. Fingers crossed for negligible accumulation.
	👻 2:45pm yerfriendpaul: Was Guy Lombardo an instrumentalist as well?
	2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:45 He played the violin.
	2:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:44 Current snow forecast for NYC/JC: 0". Is Bloomfield far enough inland that it gets snow when NYC gets rain?
	2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:45 I can see the Manhattan skyline from my bedroom window. Bloomfield is about ten miles from NYC. The snow is supposed to brief and changes to rain later.
	👻 2:48pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 Thanks! Doesn’t seem like he’s a featured violinist on these broadcasts. Is his main role the conducting?
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:48 I know I've been there, but it's been quite a while. A friend's mom lived there, but he moved to Scotland in 2015, so at least that long since I went out there.
	2:49pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:48 Yup. He was an iconic bandleader and a hydroplane racer.
	👻 2:50pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:49 Wow!
	👻 2:51pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:45 What's the forecast for cat cuddles?
	2:51pm Mr Fab: That was a cool version of “Desafinado.” Inauthentic bossa novas have their own charm.
	👻 2:52pm yerfriendpaul: I love the sound banjo in a big band
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:51 Mixed. The boys are positioned over the hot-water pipe under the kitchen floor, and Voltron is in the bed.
	2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys, nice that you are back...
	👻 2:54pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:53 HNY Handy to you K8 and the kitties!
	2:54pm HyperDose: Thanks ya, Krys. Take care 💜
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:54 And to you, Paul! And all the Coasters out there! Many thanks for hosting this bash, Krys! It's been swell!
	2:56pm Krys O.: Thank you, all! It's been a blast hanging out with you. Hope your year is filled with Instant Movies, Candy, and Sweet Music!
	👻 2:56pm WR: Happy New Year to all, and special thanks, Krys, for today's episode. Thank you for sharing these recordings with us.
	👻 2:56pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:53 Always know where Voltron is
	👻 2:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Krys! the nye 1978 part was great. a lot of fun today. thank you
	👻 2:57pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Krys!! Absolutely enjoyed today’s show! A New Year toast to you! : )
