	6:01pm MHLee: I'm here for the long run
	6:01pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Concerto For Horn And Hardart, S. 27 (Allegro - T... A little PDQ Bach tribute here first.....
	👻 6:01pm Kat in the chat: It's a god damn death dedication!
	👻 6:02pm WR: George! A favorite. P D Q Bach! A Plus!
	6:04pm MHLee: There's a Lehrer like humor to this
	6:06pm David Shortell: The audience is yukking it up. What radio sight gags are we missing now?
	6:06pm Don-O: Good Hello, Feldy, MHLee, Kay in the chat, WR, David Shortell!
	6:07pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Concerto For Horn And Hardart, S. 27 (Allegro - T... Spike Jones would be proud of this mans work!
	6:10pm Roberto: RIP C.R.A.P. Bach.
	6:11pm Listener Robert: ↳ David Shortell @6:06 You have to go to a PDQ Bach concert to find out. I hope they still tour NYC around New Year. I caught it once at Lehman College.
	6:12pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:10 Good Hello, Roberto. This will be the last calm moment in this episode. Enjoy it!
	6:13pm Don-O: ↳ Listener Robert @6:11 Listener Robert and Roberto are in the chat of the Crap!
	6:16pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:12 Happy to be crappy!
	6:20pm Listener Robert: Really bummed at the news about Peter Schickele. He was one of those people I just got used to the idea of being around forever.
	6:21pm MHLee: I know practically nothing about Carlin.
	6:22pm MHLee: Too young
	6:24pm dale: hey now. didn't know about schickele. he lived here in the hudson valley and i saw him a couple of times in museums doing his thing for a crowd.
	6:25pm Don-O: ↳ MHLee @6:21 I hope this crappy show will serve as an education (crap. education. whatever.)
	6:26pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:24 Hey, dale!
	6:32pm dale: ↳ Don-O @6:26 herro dere.
	6:33pm dale: the seven deadly words are common conversational elements now.
	6:35pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Class Clown" by "George Carlin" Am I right that he sounded like Tommy Chong before Tommy Chong did?
	6:35pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:33 THAT comes near the end of the show!
	6:37pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:33 I think we've made progress with "tits" but not much else.
	👻 6:38pm WR: Corpus Christie, same one that Carlin went to, was where my kids went to for 4 years.
	👻 6:40pm WR: I'm not religious but my ex-wife is Catholic.
	6:40pm dale: ↳ Roberto @6:37 i've found 'tits' to not be acceptable to milady. she says shit and fuck like a sailor back from the sea of japan though.
	6:42pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:40 Curious.
	6:45pm dale: it's like the c word. insulting here yet everyone in the u.k. tosses it about instead of jerk.
	6:45pm Androu B.: Hi-Ho, Don-O! Glad you got around to another show filled with a crapload of classic George Carlin bits! But sorry to hear about Peter Schickele. PDQ Bach is one of those oddball acts that rarely gets any rotation on radio. I figure they had a cult following consisting of classical music fans and college residents and some fans of the same oddball music Dr. Demento was known to play. Would've loved a chance to see them perform live. Now that's just one item to strike out of my bucket list.
	6:46pm MHLee: Sounds like Peter Griffin
	6:48pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:45 I understand the c-word particular popular in Ireland as well....
	6:49pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" A classic, this one.
	6:50pm dale: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" this is great.
	6:51pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @6:46 I understand Seth McFarlane was a fan of George Carlin's comedy routines, so Carlin's Mr. Everyman character must've been the inspiration for the voice.
	👻 6:51pm WR: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" new to me, funny!
	6:52pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" Reminds me of the ending to The Tubes tune "What Do You Want From Life?".
	👻 6:56pm WR: I think the first I heard from Carlin was "hippy dippy weatherman"
	6:57pm dale: ↳ WR @6:56 that was probably the only clean thing he could do on ed sullivan. wasn't he on smothers bros and flip wilson too?
	6:58pm Roberto: George could have had a career in voice acting had the comedy thing not worked out.
	6:58pm David Shortell: When I watch Carlin on 60's TV shows (like Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, Smothers Brothers), I'm amazed at all the great material that's unfamiliar to me. It's stuff I don't think was on any of his albums.
	7:00pm spodiodi: howdy, Don-O and all
	7:01pm Don-O: ↳ spodiodi @7:00 Good Crappy Hello, spodiodi!
	7:01pm David Shortell: ↳ Roberto @6:58 Until his voice aged too much. I wonder if that had something to do with him discontinuing his Al Sleet and WINO DJ characters.
	7:03pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @6:58 There was an animated series adaptation of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" in which Carlin reprised his role from the movie.
	7:03pm dale: carlin could have taught sociology.
	7:03pm Don-O: ↳ David Shortell @7:01 I suspect he had to evolved beyond the 70's, his cocaine addiction and Ronald Reagan and his polticis.
	7:05pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @6:58 And, iirc, he also had a guest voice role in an episode of "Duckman".
	7:06pm David Shortell: ↳ dale @6:57 All his material was clean in the days before he gradually changed his act with the boomer generation in mind.
	7:06pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "NY/LA" by "George Carlin" Yeah, when we were relatively new to L.A., my mom had a hard time grasping the jaywalking concept.
	7:10pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "NY/LA" by "George Carlin" I got a jaywalking ticket in front of the El Segundo High School......but then El Segundo was always more paranoid then the rest of LA.
	7:10pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @7:06 My mom got one crossing Ventura Bl in the middle of the block.
	7:11pm David Shortell: ↳ David Shortell @7:06 To be more clear, he eventually realized (late in the 60's) that he was actually performing for the parents of the people that he wanted to perform for.
	7:11pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @7:10 A lot of bored cops out there....
	7:11pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @7:11 Yeah it was some douche on a motorsickle.
	7:14pm David in California: Hello, Don-O. I just tuned in, but I'll listen to the P.D.Q. Bach tribute in the archive. The New York Times obituary listed the titles of many of his compositions, making it one of the funniest obituaries I've ever read.
	7:16pm Don-O: ↳ David in California @7:14 Hey, David in CA. I heard of PDQ passing while I was putting this show together. Maybe I'll some more of his stuff next week...
	7:18pm Listener Robert: 1986-2016 I lived in a shadow zone of WFMU, which was also a place you hardly needed a radio to get WFUV, so one of the programs I listened to at night was "Schickele Mix".
	7:20pm dale: ↳ Listener Robert @7:18 that show was on wamc if i recall. maybe it was on both, but definitely wamc.
	7:20pm David Shortell: ↳ WR @6:56 Carlin spoke about this on the Late Show with David Letterman (broadcast from the Ed Sullivan Theater where he used to play the character). He explained that many viewers probably didn't perceive the premise; i.e. that Al Sleet was high on pot. George said: I'm sure Ed didn't realize it! David added: No, Ed thought "Oh, he's just a crazy guy!"
	7:20pm Don-O: ↳ Listener Robert @7:18 "Schickele Mix" Sounds like a serious medical term.
	7:21pm Listener Robert: I was introduced to PDQ Bach by my Music Humanities instructor as an undergrad at Columbia 1971-2.
	7:23pm David in California: ↳ dale @7:20 The Times says the show was syndicated nationally, and ran for 15 years.
	7:24pm David Shortell: How many people remember that George was Jack Burn's comedy partner before Avery Schreiber? It was they who originated the taxicab routine!
	7:26pm Don-O: ↳ David Shortell @7:24 I never the Burns stuff....I suspect it is the polar opposite of what is going to be played here.
	7:27pm Androu B.: ↳ Don-O @7:20 To me, it sounds like a pack of gum with a variety of flavors.
	7:29pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Boston Rant (1957)" by "George Carlin" Sounds like a rehearsal. And today I got the assistance of a cop when we really needed it: car broken down.
	7:30pm Don-O: Half way point of this show!
	7:31pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @7:26 I had no idea until recently how closely involved Burns was with the original Muppet Show.
	7:32pm dale: ↳ David in California @7:23 i know i heard it on a classical station in buffalo to.
	7:33pm dale: getting off the pooter, keeping the alexa serveillance device on though....thanks for this great material.
	7:35pm David Shortell: ↳ Listener Robert @7:29 A rehearsal for what? Where could he have performed this in 1957?
	7:36pm Listener Robert: ↳ David Shortell @7:35 That's a good question, but it has that energy to it. Like he expected to use it some day and wanted to see how it'd sound.
	7:38pm Carmichael: He spoke of the Unabomber, so it’s definitely not 57.
	7:38pm Listener Robert: ↳ Carmichael @7:38 No, that was from the next track. I think.
	7:38pm Roberto: ↳ Carmichael @7:38 I believe the album is comprised of clips from multiple eras.
	7:40pm Roberto: Wow, you weren't kidding, D-O. I haven't heard much of angry-AF George.
	7:40pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @7:40 It doesn't disappoint.
	👻 7:41pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	7:43pm Carmichael: He was an angry fuck late in his life. I saw him around that time and was pretty shocked. I was expecting the hippy dippy observational humor guy.
	7:43pm Don-O: ↳ Austin Rich @7:41 Welcome to the crappy mood show, Austin!
	👻 7:44pm Austin Rich: Certainly as angry as I remember.
	👻 7:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @7:43 Yeah, that matches my shitty mood.
	7:44pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @7:38 Discogs has 7 Carlin compilations listed & available. https://www.discogs.com/artist/435995-George-Carlin
	7:46pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "State Prison Farms" by "George Carlin" Kansas? Why not Wyoming? There's far less people there.
	7:47pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @7:46 Yes, I know, I spoke too soon.
	7:48pm Roberto: Not only angrier, but more obscene.
	👻 7:49pm Austin Rich: Instead of laughter, they cheer wildly like it's a Springsteen concert.
	7:49pm Don-O: ↳ Austin Rich @7:44 See Austin Rich talk about Negativland! www.youtube.com...
	7:50pm Roberto: Lol "DELAWARE" from the audience.
	👻 7:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @7:49 I wish I could get the raw footage from William. We talked Negtivland for an hour or so, and I feel like some of it was pretty good.
	7:51pm Androu B.: Angry Carlin was the best Carlin, imo. Made for terrific HBO specials & got him carte blanche status from guys like Bill Maher.
	7:53pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @7:51 Speaking of which...who here remembers his appearances on Politically Incorrect?
	👻 7:53pm Austin Rich: He had a series of books, where he essentially transcribed his favorite routines, that I recall really enjoying. They sold very well when they were published.
	7:53pm Don-O: Oh, hey, Androu B.! Glad you're enjoying the free-form hostility jam session!
	👻 7:55pm Austin Rich: I still haven't seen that HBO documentary about Carlin. I know it was a huge sensation, and people seemed to really love it. But I haven't yet bitten off the viewing.
	7:57pm Androu B.: ↳ Don-O @7:53 These kinds of shows make me wax nostalgic for the good old days of cable TV, when this kind of comedy material was passable for the medium (at certain hours).
	👻 7:58pm Austin Rich: I seem to recall that Phineas Narco developed a bit of a friendship with Carlin near the end of Carlin's life. I should chat him up about that again.
	7:59pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Proud To Be An American" by "George Carlin" I'm 100% on the same psychic level with Carlin on this subject.
	8:00pm Don-O: ↳ Austin Rich @7:55 I'm too broke to get the premium channels. I'm also missing that Albert Brooks doc. Soon this streaming crap will be, if not already....
	👻 8:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @8:00 The Streaming Pile of Disappearing Media is probably going to collapse into themselves very soon enough. Though waiting it out has taken a bit longer than I thought it would.
	👻 8:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @8:00 While certainly not the most robust resource, I have been into Kanopy, a free streaming service that connects to your library card. It seems to focus more on art and indie films, but there's a lot of great stuff there.
	8:07pm David Shortell: The generation raised on "Shining Time Station" was startled when they discovered this other side to Mr. Conductor.
	8:08pm Don-O: ↳ David Shortell @8:07 HA!
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @8:07 There were a rather strange collection of celebrities playing that role.
	8:08pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:05 A lot of documentaries and silent films there
	8:09pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @8:08 I thought it was just him and Ringo.
	👻 8:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:08 Yes! That's where you can find me, anyway.
	👻 8:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @8:09 I'd say those two are all you need to have a rather strange collection of celebrities.
	8:10pm Androu B.: Also loved his role as the preacher on "Dogma" ("Who's Your Buddy?").
	8:11pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Religion" by "George Carlin" And this is my all-time favorite bit of his!
	8:12pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Religion" by "George Carlin" You telling me he did this whole set at a landcaping company?
	8:13pm David in California: Carlin's cynical side made him a kind of late 20th century Ambrose Bierce.
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: While a very different "flavor," I do enjoy watching Carlin and Flip Wilson fooling around on Variety Shows.
	8:14pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Religion" by "George Carlin" I used to worship the sun.....until I moved to Bullhead City....
	8:15pm Androu B.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 I do remember seeing Carlin on The Mike Douglas Show once.
	8:16pm David Shortell: ↳ Don-O @8:00 I haven't seen that doc. I heard Albert Brooks' real surname is Einstein! His brother is Bob Einstein, famous for playing Officer Judy on the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour".
	8:16pm Don-O: I remember his appearance on the Tony Orlando & Dawn show and in Car Wash!
	8:17pm Androu B.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 Also remember his appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
	8:17pm MHLee: It's a Christian scientist position to not pray for forgiveness. If you do you'll simply feel emboldened to sin because all it takes is some prayer.
	8:18pm David Shortell: ↳ Androu B. @8:15 During the week John Lennon and Yoko Ono were on.
	8:18pm ?: Double bill: Mary Baker Eddy and George Carlin!
	8:18pm Dean: ? right up there^
	8:19pm MHLee: ↳ @8:18 I'd watch it.
	8:20pm Dean: The Mother Church in Boston is fairly impressive.
	8:20pm Androu B.: ↳ David Shortell @8:16 He had another brother who's name was actually Albert (!), but he was moe famously known by his alter-ego character Super Dave Osborne.
	8:21pm MHLee: ↳ Dean @8:20 wow that's a pretty building
	8:21pm Androu B.: ↳ David Shortell @8:18 I (re)watched that recently on YT.
	8:23pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "The Planet Is Fine" by "George Carlin" Dedicate this to F1 Las Vegas
	8:25pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "The Planet Is Fine" by "George Carlin" As Gahan Wilson observed, Carlin missed the point of ecological disaster with this routine. It's not the planet that's endangered; it's those who live on it.
	8:25pm Listener Robert: Jean Shepherd used to quote from "The Crowd Roars" to the effect that people don't come to see you whizzing fast around the track, but rather to see wrecks.
	8:27pm Dean: We are nature.
	8:28pm Listener Robert: ↳ Dean @8:27 Another thing Shep agreed with.
	👻 8:29pm Cp304: Heya crappers, what a crap day.. I hope all yours are OK
	8:31pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:29 Good Crappy Hello, Cp304!
	8:31pm Dean: The Graduate was right!
	8:32pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:31 .....plastics......
	8:32pm Androu B.: Who was the Professor Know-It-All who came up wih this "carbon footprint" concept, anyway? Sounded a bit ridicuulous to me when I first heard about it.
	8:36pm David Shortell: ↳ Don-O @8:32 As Kurt Vonnegut wrote in "The Big Space Fuck", "Everything had turned to shit and beer cans and old automobiles and Clorox bottles."
	8:37pm MHLee: I'll be the Tiny Tim
	8:37pm Don-O: I forgot to bring up Gilbert Gottfried.
	8:37pm Dean: I've watched a number of Carlin interviews, whose talents I increasingly admire. There's a certain degree of repetition, nevertheless they remain engaging and fun. "The Big Space Fuck"! That's a blast from the past.
	👻 8:38pm Cp304: My how the "middle class" has changed
	8:40pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:38 Yea, they largely vote for Trump and have guns.
	8:41pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:38 "Shit!" BOOOOMM!
	8:41pm Dean: No. The middle class were always crass. I know I've done my part.
	8:41pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Shoot" by "George Carlin" UK kids use "shat" often as the past tense of the verb form of the word.
	8:41pm spodiodi: ↳ David Shortell @8:36 ⭐️
	8:42pm Dean: I'm a red-blooded American and I use "shat," too.
	8:43pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:42 It can get confusing if someone is referring to William Shatner.
	8:43pm Dean: But I also on occasion use "micturated."
	8:44pm Dean: It's William Shatner, not William the Shatner.
	8:45pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" by "... This will be my first time hearing this without the Dr. Demento treatment.
	8:45pm Dean: OMG, my 4yo kid is sitting here right beside me! Godfuckingdammit, Don-O, you should have warned us!
	8:46pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:45 He did, on the last break.
	👻 8:46pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:40 I think I heard him say the other day, Don-O has the best crap, it's primo crap, it's crap like no other..
	8:46pm Dean: That wasn't a warning. That was a tease.
	👻 8:47pm Kat in the chat: Tater Tits still makes me laugh after all this time
	8:49pm Androu B.: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:47 You'd think the Hooters chain would've taken a hint and made that an actual item on their menu, lol!
	👻 8:49pm Cp304: This is a great skit..
	8:50pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:45 Hurr....Hurr....Hurr.....
	8:50pm Dean: I disagree, Androu B. Hooters is about the food.
	8:50pm MHLee: This broadcast is patently offensive
	8:51pm David Shortell: ↳ Androu B. @8:43 William himself was a pioneer in broadcast free speech. In 1967, he became the first on television to say "hell" as slang, instead of in the acceptable Biblical sense. It was in the famous last line of "The City on the Edge of Forever".
	8:51pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:50 Still, you have to admit, it is a great idea for a menu staple!
	8:51pm Dean: Source for George: Rabelais.
	👻 8:52pm Cp304: "squatting on the hog.. almost spit booze there
	8:52pm MHLee: You've also got the Pusher with Goddam since 1967.
	👻 8:52pm Kat in the chat: I remember when "damn" and "hell" were Bad Words
	8:53pm Dean: I would be embarrassed if I had to order "tits" from my lovely Hooters server. She might mistake my intentions.
	8:54pm David Shortell: ↳ MHLee @8:52 I've always thought it strange that "God" was the syllable that broadcasters censored in that word.
	8:55pm MHLee: F8ck the FCC
	8:56pm David Shortell: ↳ MHLee @8:52 To clarify, you mean the Hoyt Axton song--not the Curtis Mayfield song!
	8:56pm Don-O: If any of you haven't gone deaf yet, my thanks to all fer showing up and surviving. If this keeps up I might do a Bill Hucks show in the future....in the meantime...
	8:56pm MHLee: ↳ David Shortell @8:56 Yes
	👻 8:57pm Cp304: Love ya Don-O and peoples
	8:57pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Classical Muddley" I figured I'll bookend with some classical disasters....
	8:57pm Roberto: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 Yeah, in 3rd grade, during my first school year in L.A., was the first time I was told not to say "hell." In New York, no one batted an eye when I said it.
	8:57pm MHLee: The guys who got assigned percussion lucked out
	👻 8:57pm Kat in the chat: Thanks for all that damned Carlin crap!
	8:58pm Dean: No, the FCC can be a force for good. The radio/TV stuff hearkens back to the age of finite technical resources for broadcasting. Some creepy parent complained about Carlin, because his kid was in the room when it was aired on WBAI. (Like me up there about my made-up kid.) Fuck guys like that.
	👻 8:58pm Cp304: I visited an Arb Christmas archive the other day and heard (rimmin at the baths) I'm still lol at that one
	8:58pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" by "... I don't understand what the rules are these days. It seems that even basic cable allows "fuck" now.
	👻 8:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Roberto @8:57 Our grade school class went to see Gone with the Wind at the dollar theatre in '67 or '68 and we were warned that there were two Bad Words in it haha
	8:59pm Dean: Basic cable is not FCC-regulated.
	8:59pm Roberto: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:59 Heavens!
	8:59pm MHLee: ↳ David Shortell @8:58 You can get in trouble for most four letter words before 10.
	9:00pm MHLee: Goddam can be acceptable without censoring sometimes
	9:00pm MHLee: Ass is okay but if it has a hole no
	9:01pm Dean: But the "rules" are shifting toward ideological demands. The things I can't or won't say in certain circumstances increase...
	9:01pm Dean: Dick
	9:01pm David Shortell: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:59 Everyone knows about the "Frankly, Scarlet" line. What's the other?
	👻 9:01pm Kat in the chat: The Loyola University radio station I was onm(and still am occasionally) prohibits "Goddamn" in their handbook, but one of my DJ colleague played Mississippi Goddam one Wednesday evening and nothing was said
	👻 9:02pm Kat in the chat: ↳ David Shortell @9:01 There's "hell" in a narration at some point
	9:02pm Androu B.: I was just recently mulling over the origin of the term "humdinger" and how it transcended from it's original meaning into a reference for a certain sexual act. Thanks, Don-O!
	👻 9:04pm Kat in the chat: ↳ MHLee @9:00 The latest on that, if I recall correctly what Station Mgr Ken has said on the subject, is you can call someone an asshole but you can't refer to the actual location on the body using that word.
	👻 9:11pm Cp304: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:04 I guess butthole is out then

Listener comments!
	6:00pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "PSA" by "George Carlin" Carlin!
	6:01pm MHLee: I'm here for the long run
	6:01pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Concerto For Horn And Hardart, S. 27 (Allegro - T... A little PDQ Bach tribute here first.....
	👻 6:01pm Kat in the chat: It's a god damn death dedication!
	👻 6:02pm WR: George! A favorite. P D Q Bach! A Plus!
	6:04pm MHLee: There's a Lehrer like humor to this
	6:06pm David Shortell: The audience is yukking it up. What radio sight gags are we missing now?
	6:06pm Don-O: Good Hello, Feldy, MHLee, Kay in the chat, WR, David Shortell!
	6:07pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Concerto For Horn And Hardart, S. 27 (Allegro - T... Spike Jones would be proud of this mans work!
	6:10pm Roberto: RIP C.R.A.P. Bach.
	6:11pm Listener Robert: ↳ David Shortell @6:06 You have to go to a PDQ Bach concert to find out. I hope they still tour NYC around New Year. I caught it once at Lehman College.
	6:12pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:10 Good Hello, Roberto. This will be the last calm moment in this episode. Enjoy it!
	6:13pm Don-O: ↳ Listener Robert @6:11 Listener Robert and Roberto are in the chat of the Crap!
	6:16pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:12 Happy to be crappy!
	6:20pm Listener Robert: Really bummed at the news about Peter Schickele. He was one of those people I just got used to the idea of being around forever.
	6:21pm MHLee: I know practically nothing about Carlin.
	6:22pm MHLee: Too young
	6:24pm dale: hey now. didn't know about schickele. he lived here in the hudson valley and i saw him a couple of times in museums doing his thing for a crowd.
	6:25pm Don-O: ↳ MHLee @6:21 I hope this crappy show will serve as an education (crap. education. whatever.)
	6:26pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:24 Hey, dale!
	6:32pm dale: ↳ Don-O @6:26 herro dere.
	6:33pm dale: the seven deadly words are common conversational elements now.
	6:35pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Class Clown" by "George Carlin" Am I right that he sounded like Tommy Chong before Tommy Chong did?
	6:35pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:33 THAT comes near the end of the show!
	6:37pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:33 I think we've made progress with "tits" but not much else.
	👻 6:38pm WR: Corpus Christie, same one that Carlin went to, was where my kids went to for 4 years.
	👻 6:40pm WR: I'm not religious but my ex-wife is Catholic.
	6:40pm dale: ↳ Roberto @6:37 i've found 'tits' to not be acceptable to milady. she says shit and fuck like a sailor back from the sea of japan though.
	6:42pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:40 Curious.
	6:45pm dale: it's like the c word. insulting here yet everyone in the u.k. tosses it about instead of jerk.
	6:45pm Androu B.: Hi-Ho, Don-O! Glad you got around to another show filled with a crapload of classic George Carlin bits! But sorry to hear about Peter Schickele. PDQ Bach is one of those oddball acts that rarely gets any rotation on radio. I figure they had a cult following consisting of classical music fans and college residents and some fans of the same oddball music Dr. Demento was known to play. Would've loved a chance to see them perform live. Now that's just one item to strike out of my bucket list.
	6:46pm MHLee: Sounds like Peter Griffin
	6:48pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:45 I understand the c-word particular popular in Ireland as well....
	6:49pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" A classic, this one.
	6:50pm dale: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" this is great.
	6:51pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @6:46 I understand Seth McFarlane was a fan of George Carlin's comedy routines, so Carlin's Mr. Everyman character must've been the inspiration for the voice.
	👻 6:51pm WR: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" new to me, funny!
	6:52pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Join The Book Club" by "George Carlin" Reminds me of the ending to The Tubes tune "What Do You Want From Life?".
	👻 6:56pm WR: I think the first I heard from Carlin was "hippy dippy weatherman"
	6:57pm dale: ↳ WR @6:56 that was probably the only clean thing he could do on ed sullivan. wasn't he on smothers bros and flip wilson too?
	6:58pm Roberto: George could have had a career in voice acting had the comedy thing not worked out.
	6:58pm David Shortell: When I watch Carlin on 60's TV shows (like Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, Smothers Brothers), I'm amazed at all the great material that's unfamiliar to me. It's stuff I don't think was on any of his albums.
	7:00pm spodiodi: howdy, Don-O and all
	7:01pm Don-O: ↳ spodiodi @7:00 Good Crappy Hello, spodiodi!
	7:01pm David Shortell: ↳ Roberto @6:58 Until his voice aged too much. I wonder if that had something to do with him discontinuing his Al Sleet and WINO DJ characters.
	7:03pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @6:58 There was an animated series adaptation of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" in which Carlin reprised his role from the movie.
	7:03pm dale: carlin could have taught sociology.
	7:03pm Don-O: ↳ David Shortell @7:01 I suspect he had to evolved beyond the 70's, his cocaine addiction and Ronald Reagan and his polticis.
	7:05pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @6:58 And, iirc, he also had a guest voice role in an episode of "Duckman".
	7:06pm David Shortell: ↳ dale @6:57 All his material was clean in the days before he gradually changed his act with the boomer generation in mind.
	7:06pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "NY/LA" by "George Carlin" Yeah, when we were relatively new to L.A., my mom had a hard time grasping the jaywalking concept.
	7:10pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "NY/LA" by "George Carlin" I got a jaywalking ticket in front of the El Segundo High School......but then El Segundo was always more paranoid then the rest of LA.
	7:10pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @7:06 My mom got one crossing Ventura Bl in the middle of the block.
	7:11pm David Shortell: ↳ David Shortell @7:06 To be more clear, he eventually realized (late in the 60's) that he was actually performing for the parents of the people that he wanted to perform for.
	7:11pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @7:10 A lot of bored cops out there....
	7:11pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @7:11 Yeah it was some douche on a motorsickle.
	7:14pm David in California: Hello, Don-O. I just tuned in, but I'll listen to the P.D.Q. Bach tribute in the archive. The New York Times obituary listed the titles of many of his compositions, making it one of the funniest obituaries I've ever read.
	7:16pm Don-O: ↳ David in California @7:14 Hey, David in CA. I heard of PDQ passing while I was putting this show together. Maybe I'll some more of his stuff next week...
	7:18pm Listener Robert: 1986-2016 I lived in a shadow zone of WFMU, which was also a place you hardly needed a radio to get WFUV, so one of the programs I listened to at night was "Schickele Mix".
	7:20pm dale: ↳ Listener Robert @7:18 that show was on wamc if i recall. maybe it was on both, but definitely wamc.
	7:20pm David Shortell: ↳ WR @6:56 Carlin spoke about this on the Late Show with David Letterman (broadcast from the Ed Sullivan Theater where he used to play the character). He explained that many viewers probably didn't perceive the premise; i.e. that Al Sleet was high on pot. George said: I'm sure Ed didn't realize it! David added: No, Ed thought "Oh, he's just a crazy guy!"
	7:20pm Don-O: ↳ Listener Robert @7:18 "Schickele Mix" Sounds like a serious medical term.
	7:21pm Listener Robert: I was introduced to PDQ Bach by my Music Humanities instructor as an undergrad at Columbia 1971-2.
	7:23pm David in California: ↳ dale @7:20 The Times says the show was syndicated nationally, and ran for 15 years.
	7:24pm David Shortell: How many people remember that George was Jack Burn's comedy partner before Avery Schreiber? It was they who originated the taxicab routine!
	7:26pm Don-O: ↳ David Shortell @7:24 I never the Burns stuff....I suspect it is the polar opposite of what is going to be played here.
	7:27pm Androu B.: ↳ Don-O @7:20 To me, it sounds like a pack of gum with a variety of flavors.
	7:29pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Boston Rant (1957)" by "George Carlin" Sounds like a rehearsal. And today I got the assistance of a cop when we really needed it: car broken down.
	7:30pm Don-O: Half way point of this show!
	7:31pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @7:26 I had no idea until recently how closely involved Burns was with the original Muppet Show.
	7:32pm dale: ↳ David in California @7:23 i know i heard it on a classical station in buffalo to.
	7:33pm dale: getting off the pooter, keeping the alexa serveillance device on though....thanks for this great material.
	7:35pm David Shortell: ↳ Listener Robert @7:29 A rehearsal for what? Where could he have performed this in 1957?
	7:36pm Listener Robert: ↳ David Shortell @7:35 That's a good question, but it has that energy to it. Like he expected to use it some day and wanted to see how it'd sound.
	7:38pm Carmichael: He spoke of the Unabomber, so it’s definitely not 57.
	7:38pm Listener Robert: ↳ Carmichael @7:38 No, that was from the next track. I think.
	7:38pm Roberto: ↳ Carmichael @7:38 I believe the album is comprised of clips from multiple eras.
	7:40pm Roberto: Wow, you weren't kidding, D-O. I haven't heard much of angry-AF George.
	7:40pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @7:40 It doesn't disappoint.
	👻 7:41pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	7:43pm Carmichael: He was an angry fuck late in his life. I saw him around that time and was pretty shocked. I was expecting the hippy dippy observational humor guy.
	7:43pm Don-O: ↳ Austin Rich @7:41 Welcome to the crappy mood show, Austin!
	👻 7:44pm Austin Rich: Certainly as angry as I remember.
	👻 7:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @7:43 Yeah, that matches my shitty mood.
	7:44pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @7:38 Discogs has 7 Carlin compilations listed & available. https://www.discogs.com/artist/435995-George-Carlin
	7:46pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "State Prison Farms" by "George Carlin" Kansas? Why not Wyoming? There's far less people there.
	7:47pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @7:46 Yes, I know, I spoke too soon.
	7:48pm Roberto: Not only angrier, but more obscene.
	👻 7:49pm Austin Rich: Instead of laughter, they cheer wildly like it's a Springsteen concert.
	7:49pm Don-O: ↳ Austin Rich @7:44 See Austin Rich talk about Negativland! www.youtube.com...
	7:50pm Roberto: Lol "DELAWARE" from the audience.
	👻 7:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @7:49 I wish I could get the raw footage from William. We talked Negtivland for an hour or so, and I feel like some of it was pretty good.
	7:51pm Androu B.: Angry Carlin was the best Carlin, imo. Made for terrific HBO specials & got him carte blanche status from guys like Bill Maher.
	7:53pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @7:51 Speaking of which...who here remembers his appearances on Politically Incorrect?
	👻 7:53pm Austin Rich: He had a series of books, where he essentially transcribed his favorite routines, that I recall really enjoying. They sold very well when they were published.
	7:53pm Don-O: Oh, hey, Androu B.! Glad you're enjoying the free-form hostility jam session!
	👻 7:55pm Austin Rich: I still haven't seen that HBO documentary about Carlin. I know it was a huge sensation, and people seemed to really love it. But I haven't yet bitten off the viewing.
	7:57pm Androu B.: ↳ Don-O @7:53 These kinds of shows make me wax nostalgic for the good old days of cable TV, when this kind of comedy material was passable for the medium (at certain hours).
	👻 7:58pm Austin Rich: I seem to recall that Phineas Narco developed a bit of a friendship with Carlin near the end of Carlin's life. I should chat him up about that again.
	7:59pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Proud To Be An American" by "George Carlin" I'm 100% on the same psychic level with Carlin on this subject.
	8:00pm Don-O: ↳ Austin Rich @7:55 I'm too broke to get the premium channels. I'm also missing that Albert Brooks doc. Soon this streaming crap will be, if not already....
	👻 8:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @8:00 The Streaming Pile of Disappearing Media is probably going to collapse into themselves very soon enough. Though waiting it out has taken a bit longer than I thought it would.
	👻 8:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Don-O @8:00 While certainly not the most robust resource, I have been into Kanopy, a free streaming service that connects to your library card. It seems to focus more on art and indie films, but there's a lot of great stuff there.
	8:07pm David Shortell: The generation raised on "Shining Time Station" was startled when they discovered this other side to Mr. Conductor.
	8:08pm Don-O: ↳ David Shortell @8:07 HA!
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @8:07 There were a rather strange collection of celebrities playing that role.
	8:08pm MHLee: ↳ Austin Rich @8:05 A lot of documentaries and silent films there
	8:09pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @8:08 I thought it was just him and Ringo.
	👻 8:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @8:08 Yes! That's where you can find me, anyway.
	👻 8:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @8:09 I'd say those two are all you need to have a rather strange collection of celebrities.
	8:10pm Androu B.: Also loved his role as the preacher on "Dogma" ("Who's Your Buddy?").
	8:11pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Religion" by "George Carlin" And this is my all-time favorite bit of his!
	8:12pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Religion" by "George Carlin" You telling me he did this whole set at a landcaping company?
	8:13pm David in California: Carlin's cynical side made him a kind of late 20th century Ambrose Bierce.
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: While a very different "flavor," I do enjoy watching Carlin and Flip Wilson fooling around on Variety Shows.
	8:14pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Religion" by "George Carlin" I used to worship the sun.....until I moved to Bullhead City....
	8:15pm Androu B.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 I do remember seeing Carlin on The Mike Douglas Show once.
	8:16pm David Shortell: ↳ Don-O @8:00 I haven't seen that doc. I heard Albert Brooks' real surname is Einstein! His brother is Bob Einstein, famous for playing Officer Judy on the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour".
	8:16pm Don-O: I remember his appearance on the Tony Orlando & Dawn show and in Car Wash!
	8:17pm Androu B.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 Also remember his appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
	8:17pm MHLee: It's a Christian scientist position to not pray for forgiveness. If you do you'll simply feel emboldened to sin because all it takes is some prayer.
	8:18pm David Shortell: ↳ Androu B. @8:15 During the week John Lennon and Yoko Ono were on.
	8:18pm ?: Double bill: Mary Baker Eddy and George Carlin!
	8:18pm Dean: ? right up there^
	8:19pm MHLee: ↳ @8:18 I'd watch it.
	8:20pm Dean: The Mother Church in Boston is fairly impressive.
	8:20pm Androu B.: ↳ David Shortell @8:16 He had another brother who's name was actually Albert (!), but he was moe famously known by his alter-ego character Super Dave Osborne.
	8:21pm MHLee: ↳ Dean @8:20 wow that's a pretty building
	8:21pm Androu B.: ↳ David Shortell @8:18 I (re)watched that recently on YT.
	8:23pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "The Planet Is Fine" by "George Carlin" Dedicate this to F1 Las Vegas
	8:25pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "The Planet Is Fine" by "George Carlin" As Gahan Wilson observed, Carlin missed the point of ecological disaster with this routine. It's not the planet that's endangered; it's those who live on it.
	8:25pm Listener Robert: Jean Shepherd used to quote from "The Crowd Roars" to the effect that people don't come to see you whizzing fast around the track, but rather to see wrecks.
	8:27pm Dean: We are nature.
	8:28pm Listener Robert: ↳ Dean @8:27 Another thing Shep agreed with.
	👻 8:29pm Cp304: Heya crappers, what a crap day.. I hope all yours are OK
	8:31pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:29 Good Crappy Hello, Cp304!
	8:31pm Dean: The Graduate was right!
	8:32pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:31 .....plastics......
	8:32pm Androu B.: Who was the Professor Know-It-All who came up wih this "carbon footprint" concept, anyway? Sounded a bit ridicuulous to me when I first heard about it.
	8:36pm David Shortell: ↳ Don-O @8:32 As Kurt Vonnegut wrote in "The Big Space Fuck", "Everything had turned to shit and beer cans and old automobiles and Clorox bottles."
	8:37pm MHLee: I'll be the Tiny Tim
	8:37pm Don-O: I forgot to bring up Gilbert Gottfried.
	8:37pm Dean: I've watched a number of Carlin interviews, whose talents I increasingly admire. There's a certain degree of repetition, nevertheless they remain engaging and fun. "The Big Space Fuck"! That's a blast from the past.
	👻 8:38pm Cp304: My how the "middle class" has changed
	8:40pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:38 Yea, they largely vote for Trump and have guns.
	8:41pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:38 "Shit!" BOOOOMM!
	8:41pm Dean: No. The middle class were always crass. I know I've done my part.
	8:41pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Shoot" by "George Carlin" UK kids use "shat" often as the past tense of the verb form of the word.
	8:41pm spodiodi: ↳ David Shortell @8:36 ⭐️
	8:42pm Dean: I'm a red-blooded American and I use "shat," too.
	8:43pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:42 It can get confusing if someone is referring to William Shatner.
	8:43pm Dean: But I also on occasion use "micturated."
	8:44pm Dean: It's William Shatner, not William the Shatner.
	8:45pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" by "... This will be my first time hearing this without the Dr. Demento treatment.
	8:45pm Dean: OMG, my 4yo kid is sitting here right beside me! Godfuckingdammit, Don-O, you should have warned us!
	8:46pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:45 He did, on the last break.
	👻 8:46pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:40 I think I heard him say the other day, Don-O has the best crap, it's primo crap, it's crap like no other..
	8:46pm Dean: That wasn't a warning. That was a tease.
	👻 8:47pm Kat in the chat: Tater Tits still makes me laugh after all this time
	8:49pm Androu B.: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:47 You'd think the Hooters chain would've taken a hint and made that an actual item on their menu, lol!
	👻 8:49pm Cp304: This is a great skit..
	8:50pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:45 Hurr....Hurr....Hurr.....
	8:50pm Dean: I disagree, Androu B. Hooters is about the food.
	8:50pm MHLee: This broadcast is patently offensive
	8:51pm David Shortell: ↳ Androu B. @8:43 William himself was a pioneer in broadcast free speech. In 1967, he became the first on television to say "hell" as slang, instead of in the acceptable Biblical sense. It was in the famous last line of "The City on the Edge of Forever".
	8:51pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:50 Still, you have to admit, it is a great idea for a menu staple!
	8:51pm Dean: Source for George: Rabelais.
	👻 8:52pm Cp304: "squatting on the hog.. almost spit booze there
	8:52pm MHLee: You've also got the Pusher with Goddam since 1967.
	👻 8:52pm Kat in the chat: I remember when "damn" and "hell" were Bad Words
	8:53pm Dean: I would be embarrassed if I had to order "tits" from my lovely Hooters server. She might mistake my intentions.
	8:54pm David Shortell: ↳ MHLee @8:52 I've always thought it strange that "God" was the syllable that broadcasters censored in that word.
	8:55pm MHLee: F8ck the FCC
	8:56pm David Shortell: ↳ MHLee @8:52 To clarify, you mean the Hoyt Axton song--not the Curtis Mayfield song!
	8:56pm Don-O: If any of you haven't gone deaf yet, my thanks to all fer showing up and surviving. If this keeps up I might do a Bill Hucks show in the future....in the meantime...
	8:56pm MHLee: ↳ David Shortell @8:56 Yes
	👻 8:57pm Cp304: Love ya Don-O and peoples
	8:57pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Classical Muddley" I figured I'll bookend with some classical disasters....
	8:57pm Roberto: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 Yeah, in 3rd grade, during my first school year in L.A., was the first time I was told not to say "hell." In New York, no one batted an eye when I said it.
	8:57pm MHLee: The guys who got assigned percussion lucked out
	👻 8:57pm Kat in the chat: Thanks for all that damned Carlin crap!
	8:58pm Dean: No, the FCC can be a force for good. The radio/TV stuff hearkens back to the age of finite technical resources for broadcasting. Some creepy parent complained about Carlin, because his kid was in the room when it was aired on WBAI. (Like me up there about my made-up kid.) Fuck guys like that.
	👻 8:58pm Cp304: I visited an Arb Christmas archive the other day and heard (rimmin at the baths) I'm still lol at that one
	8:58pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" by "... I don't understand what the rules are these days. It seems that even basic cable allows "fuck" now.
	👻 8:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Roberto @8:57 Our grade school class went to see Gone with the Wind at the dollar theatre in '67 or '68 and we were warned that there were two Bad Words in it haha
	8:59pm Dean: Basic cable is not FCC-regulated.
	8:59pm Roberto: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:59 Heavens!
	8:59pm MHLee: ↳ David Shortell @8:58 You can get in trouble for most four letter words before 10.
	9:00pm MHLee: Goddam can be acceptable without censoring sometimes
	9:00pm MHLee: Ass is okay but if it has a hole no
	9:01pm Dean: But the "rules" are shifting toward ideological demands. The things I can't or won't say in certain circumstances increase...
	9:01pm Dean: Dick
	9:01pm David Shortell: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:59 Everyone knows about the "Frankly, Scarlet" line. What's the other?
	👻 9:01pm Kat in the chat: The Loyola University radio station I was onm(and still am occasionally) prohibits "Goddamn" in their handbook, but one of my DJ colleague played Mississippi Goddam one Wednesday evening and nothing was said
