Listener comments!
	👻 8:01pm Handy Haversack: And here we are!
	8:01pm ultradamno: Becky! Tonkies! Since you were just playing Mountain Dew, and the subject came up on the chat the other day (during Blumin's show) some examples of hillbilly murder on the soft drink packaging/advertising mastodon.social...
	8:02pm P-90: Cool. This is like flipping over a record to hear the other side.
	8:02pm Cdub: Enjoying the double header!
	8:03pm ultradamno: Which reminds me, I saw Mike Johnson on TV last night, evidently trying to sound slightly more sane than the pres candidate, suggesting Biden might come to the debate "on energy drinks"
	👻 8:07pm Destroit: Ahh here we go.
	👻 8:09pm Destroit: Lol wow…those Mountain Dew ads.
	8:10pm Cdub: Holy two and a half minutes.
	8:10pm Matt en Queens: Good evening Becky and fellow tonkers. I’m buckled in but also working like a dog in a salt mine so I won’t say too much. Will enjoy the show though.
	8:13pm ?: What was that last song??
	👻 8:14pm Handy Haversack: Ernest Tubb / Saturday Satan Sunday Saint
	8:15pm Becky: What were we saying last hour about bongos?
	👻 8:16pm Handy Haversack: From banjos to bongos and all points in between.
	8:16pm loveless: Hello everyone! I have had a day and am still working. Quitting time is soon.
	8:18pm ?: Thank you handy haversack!!
	8:20pm ultradamno: Tubb literally kept one foot in each world images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	8:21pm Ochre Ogre: Howdy Becky!
	8:21pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:20 That graphic could be a sequel to Night Of The Hunter or Wise Blood
	8:28pm Daybreak!: ↳ Song: "Market Place" by "Ray Stanley" I've been listening steadily, but I'm back on the board for the second shift I am loving these back to back shows! I even grabbed 11 big old buckets to scoop up all this popcorn! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
	8:31pm Becky: ↳ Daybreak! @8:28 Aw, thanks for listening!!!
	8:32pm aHarry from Leeds: Thank you dj Becky 🙏 sleepy times now for me. Wish u a bunch of energy. Peace.
	8:34pm Becky: ↳ aHarry from Leeds @8:32 Cheers, Harry!
	8:35pm ultradamno: I always thought Gotham was an NYC stand-in
	👻 8:35pm Handy Haversack: I think Gotham and Metropolis were pictured as across the Chesapeake Bay from each other.
	8:36pm ultradamno: From wiki: In Jim Steranko's History of the Comics, writer Bill Finger, on the naming of the city, said, "Originally I was going to call Gotham City 'Civic City.' Then I tried 'Capital City,' then 'Coast City.' Then I flipped through the New York City phone book and spotted the name 'Gotham Jewelers' and said, 'That's it,' Gotham City. We didn't call it New York because we wanted anybody in any city to identify with it."
	8:37pm P-90: Gotham and Metropolis are both imaginary places, but they’re both alternate versions of New York City. They’re sort of the yin and yang of New York City.
	8:37pm Daybreak!: ↳ Becky @8:31 Keep it coming! Loved that Jukebox Man track!
	8:38pm Joe R.: Strangely enough, Gotham City is sometimes set in South Jersey en.wikipedia.org...
	8:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:35 WFMU's Fox, host of "Blah Blah Woof Woof" (not on the current schedule), said Gotham is in NJ, across the river from Metropolis (which is in Delaware). She even posted a map!
	8:38pm ultradamno: Maybe Central City was Philly, or DC
	8:39pm ultradamno: Well, Fox can fight the guy who came up with it.
	👻 8:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ David Shortell @8:38 There, that's what I was thinking of!
	8:41pm Joe R.: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:39 That map is in the Wikipedia link I posted
	👻 8:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello! Spain against Georgia this Sunday. Might be a blowout; might be a surprise. Should be a good one! ⚽
	8:42pm Joe R.: ↳ P-90 @8:37 Yeah, it’s not clear, there’s an old saw that goes “Metropolis is NYC in the daytime, Gotham is NYC at night”. Becky—aren’t you sorry you asked :D
	👻 8:44pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Daybreak! @8:37 Just settin' on the porch listenin' in, drinking a beer, and watching a severe thunderstorm approach. Getting pretty intense just about now
	8:44pm yippie: british sometimes call it nyoo yaak
	8:44pm ultradamno: Of course, that map is from 77...canon can back up over itself over time
	8:45pm Becky: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:42 I'm looking forward to it! Viva La Furia Roja!
	8:46pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:44 (the quote from Bill Finger is just above it in the wiki link)
	8:49pm P-90: Yes, Metropolis is the shiny city of tomorrow, skyscrapers and the hub of big business., communications, publishing, banking. Gotham is the brownstones, the tenements, the back alleys, the Bowery…
	8:51pm ultradamno: Spider-Man is NYC's hero anyway
	8:51pm Daybreak!: Here's a Dick Curless Album cover, "Live at the Wheeling Truck Driver's Jamboree" c8.alamy.com...
	8:52pm P-90: (…if we’re speaking about Metropolis and Gotham City the way they were originally conceived in the Depression, before generations of artists and writers invented endless variations and alternate universes and timelines)
	8:52pm Becky: ↳ ultradamno @8:51 Hear, hear. Pizza vs hors d'oeuvres
	8:53pm David The Splatter: Been listening while taking care of some chores. Excellent show, Becky!
	8:53pm ultradamno: I always thought there was a direct line from Dick Tracy to the original Batman...freakish gangsters, just with a costume
	8:55pm Joe R.: ↳ ultradamno @8:51 No lie, I was just cracking open a Silver Age Spider-man collection and Spidey is swing on some bridge (sorry, not sure which one) and I had the same thought! Even though most of the Marvel heroes were set there, he was the most grounded in NYC (the stronger Daredevil Hell’s Kitchen stuff came later)
	8:56pm Ochre Ogre: Outlaw Music Festival comin up, yee haw!
	👻 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky! Double duty suits you -- and us!
	8:56pm Stevel: Special for me to hear Townes Van Zant sing his song. A lot going on in that voice.
	8:58pm Ochre Ogre: Much obliged Becky!
	👻 8:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sometimes, McCloud is the hero New York City needs. Thanks, Becky!
	8:59pm Daybreak!: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:44 I love watching thunderstorms! I always went out under the carport to watch them as a kid. Sitting far from the edge of cover but the aluminum chair wasn't the best idea. We were rewarded one day when a tree on the other side of the call De sac was struck and caught fire! It knocked my brother and I backwards off our chairs, messed with our hearing temporarily, and once we could see the tree was on fire!!!
	9:00pm Daybreak!: ↳ Ochre Ogre @8:56 I saw it last year! Very good stuff.
	9:01pm ultradamno: I didn't realize how much Bikini Kill ripped off Cherry Bomb for that until just now
	9:03pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Daybreak! @9:00 Cool
