	6:15am William Hellfire: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:07 Oh my lord where are these non-christians coming from? Outer space? Planned parenthood? I had a woman come up to me in the grocery store and ask me if I was a Satanist. Why yes I am.
	6:16am Strandlund: Happy Weekend everyone!!
	6:17am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning Brian Good morning Strandlund Happy weekend too you
	6:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ William Hellfire @6:15 it's such non-sense
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:07 Have you been to the US?
	6:20am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @6:15 Where did that get that idea? Clothing? Tattoos?
	6:21am Brian D: Greetings Strand... Reagan...
	6:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:20 first time i've heard stuff like this "in the field" firsthand
	6:22am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @6:20 That time I had on a Kenneth Anger designed Lucifer jacket.
	6:23am Strandlund: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @6:17 Morning Reagan!!
	6:23am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all!
	6:24am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and all! I'm about to head to Seitseminen national park with a couple of friends for a hike and will listen on the way
	6:28am TDK60: Yes, R.I.P. Catherine Ribeiro. I was introduced to her by WFMU -- Fabio's show. One of the more uncommon "prog" or art rockers of the '60s-70s.
	6:29am Mike Lupica: What an excellent surprise to discover that Oliver is your guest today!
	6:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @6:29 hello dere....mike
	6:30am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:24 Enjoy Don!
	6:31am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:28 Fabio and Scott W. brought her into my life. A unique, powerful voice.
	6:31am Brian D: ↳ Mike Lupica @6:29 Yes, and he has wonderful things to say about you, sir.
	6:33am tom tom the pipers son: i hear flamenco in the lineage of ribeiro and alpes in spirit anyway
	6:33am Hoboken Jack: Good morning, Brian and all!
	6:34am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 Yo Tom, see you in about ... 16 hours.
	6:34am Brian D: ↳ Hoboken Jack @6:33 Jack! I guess the clubs have closed.
	6:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @6:34 that's right....
	6:36am fred: Catherine Ribeiro probably got more tribute time on WFMU than on all French media combined.
	6:39am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:36 Really?! That's too bad.
	6:44am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @6:22 At least you make it obvious. My fave encounter with bigotry was being accosted by a neo-nazi woman who said we should defend and be proud of our origins (I have light skin and hair and blue eyes). I replied I was proud of having Tunisian blood and left. She ran after me screaming "go home you filthy Arab scum" for a while. With how I look, people thought she was insane. I ruined her recruitment effort for a while
	6:47am tom tom the pipers son: hearing the comment about non christians is reminding me of while in germany, being questioned about my ethnicity after i was identified as american... irish and polish i said.... they said derisively, well that's american, meaning i wasn't ethnically pure... i realized this was a leftover nazi that i was talking to
	6:48am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:39 She was well known at a time, but forgotten by now. She didn't play the game, so her far left positions got her banned from mainstream media, while her independent streak drove her from the communist party
	6:55am Mississippi: Maybe if you want to honor Muhammad Halimy you should mention he was murdered by Israel instead of just “passing away”
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Mississippi @6:55 Fair point.
	7:00am TDK60: I note that the CNN report on the unfortunate oil tanker bombing/leak used "Iran-backed Houthis." It didn't use USA-backed Israel. Interesting.
	7:01am morphe': "Blogger who documented life in Gaza killed in alleged Israeli strike" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2nyy8y48qo
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:00 Yes. The semantics game.
	7:04am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:00 It goes so much without saying that every candidate has to say it louder then the others. Except Bernie (can you clone that guy? Oh, you have AOC)
	7:08am Brian D: Elk article: www.nytimes.com...
	7:11am Brian D: London Review of Books essay that discusses this histoy: www.lrb.co.uk...
	7:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and everyone. Late to the party. 🧐
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:12 Welcome Peter. Have some hors d'oeuvres.
	7:15am fred: It was all worth it as it made JD Vance rise to prominence
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:15 We get into that.
	7:18am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! hello everybody in radioland!
	7:20am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:15 With an assist from Peter Thiel, a relatable down on his luck billionaire with totally not insane ideas
	7:20am Brian D: Some of these issues covered here: www.newyorker.com...
	7:21am dale: morning.
	7:22am Brian D: Rich! Dale!

	7:32am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:31 By request of Oliver.
	7:32am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive" by "Patty Loveless" I know this song by Darrell Scott.
	7:34am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @7:32 Yes, he wrote it and sang it originally.
	7:36am dale: ↳ Brian D @7:32 no complaint from me!
	7:36am dale: now i wanna hear lacy j. dalton's 'sixteenth avenue.'
	7:40am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @7:15 The cat got his breakfast, then I had mine. Now grokking my coffee, thank you.
	7:48am Brian D: An example of Oliver's reporting on healthcare: www.nytimes.com...
	7:49am Brian D: Eviction: www.newyorker.com...
	7:50am TDK60: I wonder if Oliver got to visit Appalshop in Whitesburg, Kentucky. An arts, radio, film organization for about 50 years now.
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:50 Not far from where he lived, TDK.
	7:55am dale: wprb has become my other channel.
	8:00am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:55 This show is the Ashley Madison of radio.
	8:01am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "They Live" by "L.I.P.S." !!!!! Love this!!!! Thank you!!
	8:01am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @8:01 From Harlan, Kentucky.
	8:01am Matt en Queens: Howdy Brian and all! Just what my dr ordered
	8:03am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "They Live" by "L.I.P.S." Good morning!
	8:04am tom tom the pipers son: i knew a reprieve was in the cards
	8:04am dale: ↳ Brian D @8:00 had to look that up. hee hee...
	8:07am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ dale @8:04 Ashley Madison is still a thing. Who knew?
	8:08am Matt en Queens: @Dale - thou doth protest too much
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:07 I thought it got shut down after accidentally releasing all of its users' info.
	8:08am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Sprawl" by "Sonic Youth" My fave S.Y. slab. Relentless. Epic.
	8:09am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "The Sprawl" by "Sonic Youth" Last week I was driving through the foot hills of Appalachia listening to this song.
	8:09am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @8:08 I remember that. But here we are: www.ashleymadison.com...
	8:10am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:09 I thought it worked with the theme of today's show. My favorite record of theirs, too, TDK.
	8:10am Matt en Queens: This is my favorite late period sonic youth album
	8:10am Fredericks: The synchronicity is burning my brain.
	8:10am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:09 Out of respect to Mrs. Currents, I won't click on that.
	8:11am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "The Sprawl" by "Sonic Youth" Got to see sonic youth with s.t.p. city gardens NJ like 1990 before Goo. They were trying to play some new stuff but they stopped cause they didn't know it yet.
	8:12am tom tom the pipers son: daydream 1989
	8:13am tom tom the pipers son: 1988
	8:13am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @8:10 I'm divorced and I don't wanna get involved in that hot mess.
	8:15am dale: ashley madison just sounds like a jc penney in house brand for plus size women.
	8:17am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:13 Wasn't that their marketing slogan?
	8:19am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Helgoland" by "pFem" This is monstrous.
	8:20am dale: ↳ Song: "Helgoland" by "pFem" love this. sounds like vin diesel is about to fight the alien bugs who only come out at night.
	8:21am Billybob: The Ashley Madison TV commercial was priceless. "I'm lookin' for someone other than my wife, other than my wife, other than my wife" to the tune of the Climax Blues Band's "Couldn't Get It Right". It's still out there on Youtube.
	8:22am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @8:17 "Life is short. Have an affair." I just can't. Loving this pFem, BTW.
	8:22am Brian D: ↳ Billybob @8:21 Was it only for cheating husbands or spouses of all stripes?
	8:23am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @8:22 Well, I guess married women had to be on there, too. Duh.
	8:24am William Hellfire: I thought that was missing foundation!!! Brian you rascal! I went to see them and they got cancelled. What was that TV special on them...cult of rage? So hilarious.
	8:24am Billybob: ↳ Brian D @8:22 Well, the commercial only showed guys, but it takes two...so I guess by default, it's for both sexes.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @8:24 WABC News thing, no? Am I remembering that wrong?
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ Billybob @8:24 Or not maybe.
	8:27am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Brian D @8:08 I thought they were hacked and blackmailed into shutting down. then when they balked the hacker released everything. there was a documentary my wife and I saw a few months ago about it.
	8:28am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @8:26 I think it was. It's on YouTube.
	8:29am pmcWhenever: poor mark.
	8:30am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:27 I think the guy they were interviewing said the women would get free membership, and the men had to pay a premium.
	8:31am rich in angleton: RE missing foundation Brian - it was that recent substack interview w Peter Missing.
	8:32am Billybob: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:30 That's kinda like "Ladies get in free" or Plato's Retreat in the 70s where men had to be accompanied by a woman, otherwise the whole concept wouldn't work.
	8:37am Mennlinn Rebarts: Fabio also played it this week ;)
	8:39am Nina: Can you put the name of the book here? Missed it.
	8:40am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:31 Ah right! Do you happen to remember my bank password?
	8:40am Brian D: ↳ Nina @8:39 Algiers, Third World Capital:Freedom Fighters, Revolutionaries, Black Panthers by Elaine Mokhtefi
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Mennlinn Rebarts @8:37 Jeez, I must have tuned out.
	8:41am Nina: Thank you! 🙏
	8:41am tom tom the pipers son: fabio back on thursdays w/ new schedule
	8:44am William Hellfire: Great show thank you see y'all at fools!
	8:44am morphe': Thanks BD and all ... great Interview too..
	8:44am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 Yes, he is. Feels right somehow. Scott back on Mondays, too.
	8:45am Handy Haversack: I never catch as much of this show as I'd like to, but I'm always glad for what I get. Morning, Brian and all!
	8:46am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:45 Hello Handy. Hope you and K8t are well.
	8:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian D @8:46 We had a good trip to Maine and other points north, and now K8's parents are in town. So ... fair to middling?
	8:48am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Great show, Brian. Thank you.

	8:31am rich in angleton: RE missing foundation Brian - it was that recent substack interview w Peter Missing.
	8:32am Billybob: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:30 That's kinda like "Ladies get in free" or Plato's Retreat in the 70s where men had to be accompanied by a woman, otherwise the whole concept wouldn't work.
