	👻 9:13am Krys O.: ↳ Otis @9:13 Terrific stuff!

	👻 9:24am Krys O.: Oh, and Useless Fact: Montalban played a polo player in another Esther Williams film and his character was named Jose O'Rourke. Montalban was Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island.
	👻 9:28am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Riot in Brazil" by "Fran Warren" I watched Nancy Goes to Rio on Sunday. Lots of Carmen Miranda choice scenes and songs.

	9:46am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:44 May your inbox be full of tumbleweeds.

	👻 10:04am WR: Foregrounding Friendly Persuasion.
	10:05am Feldy: Which language are you learning, Otis?
	10:06am Feldy: Ohhhhhhhh Torch!
	10:07am Kat in the chat: That’s so weird, Otis, I forgot to do my Duolingo today too and I NEVER forget. Also I woke up at 5:45 am for no good reason, I could have completed a whole level.
	10:08am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:07 It's fun! Or rather "It's Great!"
	10:09am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Marie-Jeanne astique le pont (from the porno "Cro... A little Maple Syrup in the morning.

	10:11am Otis: ↳ Krys O. @10:11 Safe for work too! No moans on this one.
	👻 10:12am WR: My work session this morning was with bank in France. We had customer (knows some English), my co-worker from France team (excellent bi- (or more) lingual) and me (understand a bit when I hear French but if I try to say anything it is so bad that it causes confusion).
	10:15am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Hey Jude" by "Assagai" Ooh a WFMU classic!
	10:15am Kat in the chat: I can read some French, understand less, speak barely any. Five to ten minutes a day doesn’t teach that much. I’d take proper classes if I had the time and money.
	👻 10:16am WR: ↳ Song: "Lomi Tera-tera" by "Hailu Mergia and the Walias B... I bought 3 Hailu Mergia releases on the October bandcamp day, Awesome Tapes from Africa has all digital as "Name Your Price". Didn't this one. hailumergia.bandcamp.com...
	10:16am Otis: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:15 You know it, yes, FMU FAV!
	10:16am Kat in the chat: Duolingo is still good brain exercise though
	10:17am Otis: ↳ WR @10:16 Fantastic! I have caught Hailu and his band live here in Montreal twice, once at a club Sala Rossa and the other time last summer outside in the afternoon at our Jazz Fest, free show, families, all ages grooving to the sounds in the sun. Was brilliant.
	👻 10:17am WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:15 Yes, it takes a significant period of sustained time commitment to make progress.
	10:17am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 Totally, keeps us on our mental toes.
	10:19am Feldy: I’m still dragging ass from a music festival weekend. We went to Form Fest, held at Arcosanti, about an hour north of Phoenix. Small, intimate amphitheaters in the desert. Saw Kim Gordon, Angel Olson, Beck, Juliana Barwick, St Vincent, Aja Monet, and Thundercat to name a few
	10:19am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Star Wars" R2D2 was an ARP 2600.
	10:20am Otis: ↳ Feldy @10:19 Nice, Kim Gordon's new stuff is really great.
	10:20am Otis: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 Ha, did not know that. I hear it now.
	10:21am Otis: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Star Wars" This could be helpful if you are looking for a career as an interior designer for space stations.
	10:22am Feldy: ↳ Otis @10:20 Yeah I really loved her set
	10:23am Feldy: You don’t become the best smuggler in the galaxy without knowing your shapes
	10:24am David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Star Wars" How is Han Solo supposed to make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs with a rectangle?
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: The educational part of the show!
	👻 10:25am Krys O.: PBS had a French language instruction series called French in Action. It was a classic. It's on YouTube now: www.youtube.com...
	10:26am Otis: ↳ Song: "Stop, Look, Listen (and Learn)" by "Ween" Not so safe for corporate work meetings. Go Ween!
	10:26am Franco Twinkie: Good Morning Otis!
	10:27am Otis: Franco, my brother in farmer's market fruits!
	10:28am Franco Twinkie: You bet! Apples are upon us in all their glory.
	👻 10:30am Krys O.: I studied French for 8 years including two years in college after six weeks in Paris on a scholarship at the Alliance Française when I graduated high school. I learned the most in Paris because immersion is the best way to learn a language. I need some refresher lessons. I would also love to officially learn Polish, a very difficult language. I knew Polish before English, but I never had any classes in it. I can understand a lot, but it's hard to keep on top of the declensions and such.
	10:30am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Too Old To Be Vegan" by "William Shatner & Jeff C... Vegan is the safest choice in space, Captain.
	10:30am Jan Turkenburg: Hi everybody!
	10:30am Otis: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @10:30 Hi Jan!
	10:31am David The Splatter: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @10:30 Hi Jan!
	10:31am Otis: Next week on Friendly Persuasion spinning for Singles Going Steady week with Friendly 45 Favorites. Some old some new, same old sounds.
	10:32am Jan Turkenburg: LOL
	10:33am Jan Turkenburg: ↳ David The Splatter @10:31 Hi David!
	👻 10:33am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Mama, Open Up" by "Flo & Eddie" Yay!
	10:37am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Stop, Look, Listen (and Learn)" by "Ween" Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, but after that farty intro I'll go with it: I saw Ween open for Beck at The Santa Monica Civic. Gene or Dean, I can't remember which said 'This cheese smells like someone's ass!' This observation was met with an audible groan from the audience. There you go - smelly humor from down below will always polarize whoever it's aimed at.
	10:37am Kat in the chat: I’ve noted that French in Action link, Krys, thanks! You were quite the scholar. For reasons I will never understand, my mother insisted I take other languages in school. My best friend was in advanced French classes and I wanted to take French too!
	👻 10:37am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "A Day in the Life" by "Big Daddy" Big Daddy were the best.
	10:44am Otis: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:37 Farts are funny!
	👻 10:48am Krys O.: ↳ Otis @10:44 I need to watch the short movie on Le Petomane with Leonard Rossiter again.
	10:51am Feldy: “Switch Off” is droid for “take a hike”
	10:51am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Otis @10:44 That's a tee shirt!
	10:52am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Side 2" by "Star Wars" Mechanical farts.
	10:53am Sondy in the 'office': Laurice For Ever!
	10:54am Otis: Torch is Burning segment up after the break.
	10:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sondy in the 'office' @10:53 Hey Sondy, it's been a minute!
	10:56am Sondy in the 'office': Hey Franco! Hope you've been doing good !
	10:57am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sondy in the 'office' @10:56 Imma good! You?
	👻 10:58am WR: Hello Franco, Feldy, Sondy, and folks who've joined. Taking a short break for spiced tea and hopefully can give full attention to the Torch is Burning segment.
	👻 10:59am Krys O.: Gee, I was probably at that record fair in 2017.
	11:00am Franco Twinkie: ↳ WR @10:58 WR! I'm toasting up a slab of seedy bread to shmear with peanut butter.
	👻 11:06am WR: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:00 Sounds good. Tonight, if work doesn't blow up, I'm going to try a recipe where the main ingredient besides spices is ground dark meat chicken, can of white beans, and can of pickled jalapeños. Will make some corn bread too.
	11:07am Kat in the chat: Oh god Rich in Washington did one of those fake podcasts, it was creepy as hell
	11:10am Feldy: LOL 😂
	11:10am Franco Twinkie: ↳ WR @11:06 That sounds fantastic! With corn bread? Get outta here!
	👻 11:10am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "The Torch Is Burning with Constance DeWitt and Le... LOL!
	11:11am Kat in the chat: It’s not just about the music, it’s about the diapers!
	11:11am Feldy: Haha… “There’s Leland….”
	11:11am Sondy in the 'office': ↳ Song: "The Torch Is Burning with Constance DeWitt and Le... What the hell!!
	11:11am Otis: I'm crackin' up here!
	11:12am Mr Fab: Otis, gawd no, this is like if WFMU was an NPR station!
	👻 11:13am Krys O.: Everyone on Sheena's should be playing this!
	11:13am Sondy in the 'office': The innuendos WERE NOT thinly veiled!
	11:13am Otis: So safe, so santized!
	11:14am Franco Twinkie: I'm stunned.
	11:15am Kat in the chat: The innuendos were largely veil-free
	11:16am Feldy: never not projecting desires
	11:16am Fisherman: Late capitalism needs to ironically assimilate its contradictions and thus create a new hip 'genuine' so as to maintain the status quo.
	👻 11:16am Krys O.: Play this with farts in the background.
	11:17am Fisherman: The more irony you pile on, the more mainstream it gets.
	11:17am Sondy in the 'office': Hey, Roma is not cheap, it'ss just a good deal!
	11:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @11:16 Right! No one ever talks about the presence of farts when you're "getting to know' someone!
	👻 11:18am WR: Damn, I think I missed something. I gotta go back and listen and Lean In.
	11:20am Feldy: They only briefly touched on the restrained, suppressed desire that is central to Torch
	11:20am Franco Twinkie: Who is this hag in a kaftan!?
	👻 11:22am WR: ↳ Feldy @11:20 Seems the tool just grabbed what it could to fit into its existing known tropes.
	11:33am Franco Twinkie: Ransom notes?
	11:33am Webhamster Henry: There's a whole world of Christian folk rock musicals that were a kind of Jesus Christ Superstar fallout.
	👻 11:33am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Machine Gun" by "Commodores" Ooh, a classic from my youth!
	11:34am Otis: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:33 Word/Light have a few different ones, Natural High being a fav. Also, the album "For Mature Adults Only" is fantastic.
	11:34am Kat in the chat: Mark Hurst has said too much about how much energy and water AI consumes for me to be comfortable playing with it…
	11:34am Webhamster Henry: and for more large language fun, there's my largelanguage.band material
	11:35am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:34 Pfft. nobody talks about the energy consumption of ALL THE OTHER internet services.
	11:36am Franco Twinkie: That's right. What do you think the comment board runs on - Diet Fresca?
	👻 11:38am Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:35 All those liquids generate a lot of E-Urine, I bet.
	11:42am Feldy: Bit of a tongue-twister there with Shoul Salsa I mean Souls Shalsa.. jeez I can't say it
	11:44am Kat in the chat: Franco - You mean it doesn’t? 😮
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: I'm not sure what I meant!
	11:50am Mr Fab: Ah, poor ol' Arabian Prince...the Pete Best of NWA.
	11:52am Otis: ↳ Mr Fab @11:50 Legendary snapshot in my memory of that period of World Class electro days before it shifted.

	10:16am Kat in the chat: Duolingo is still good brain exercise though
	10:17am Otis: ↳ WR @10:16 Fantastic! I have caught Hailu and his band live here in Montreal twice, once at a club Sala Rossa and the other time last summer outside in the afternoon at our Jazz Fest, free show, families, all ages grooving to the sounds in the sun. Was brilliant.
	👻 10:17am WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:15 Yes, it takes a significant period of sustained time commitment to make progress.
	10:17am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 Totally, keeps us on our mental toes.
	10:19am Feldy: I’m still dragging ass from a music festival weekend. We went to Form Fest, held at Arcosanti, about an hour north of Phoenix. Small, intimate amphitheaters in the desert. Saw Kim Gordon, Angel Olson, Beck, Juliana Barwick, St Vincent, Aja Monet, and Thundercat to name a few
	10:19am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Star Wars" R2D2 was an ARP 2600.
	10:20am Otis: ↳ Feldy @10:19 Nice, Kim Gordon's new stuff is really great.
	10:20am Otis: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 Ha, did not know that. I hear it now.
	10:21am Otis: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Star Wars" This could be helpful if you are looking for a career as an interior designer for space stations.
	10:22am Feldy: ↳ Otis @10:20 Yeah I really loved her set
	10:23am Feldy: You don’t become the best smuggler in the galaxy without knowing your shapes
	10:24am David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Side 1" by "Star Wars" How is Han Solo supposed to make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs with a rectangle?
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: The educational part of the show!
	👻 10:25am Krys O.: PBS had a French language instruction series called French in Action. It was a classic. It's on YouTube now: www.youtube.com...
	10:26am Otis: ↳ Song: "Stop, Look, Listen (and Learn)" by "Ween" Not so safe for corporate work meetings. Go Ween!

	10:27am Otis: Franco, my brother in farmer's market fruits!
	10:28am Franco Twinkie: You bet! Apples are upon us in all their glory.
	👻 10:30am Krys O.: I studied French for 8 years including two years in college after six weeks in Paris on a scholarship at the Alliance Française when I graduated high school. I learned the most in Paris because immersion is the best way to learn a language. I need some refresher lessons. I would also love to officially learn Polish, a very difficult language. I knew Polish before English, but I never had any classes in it. I can understand a lot, but it's hard to keep on top of the declensions and such.
	10:30am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Too Old To Be Vegan" by "William Shatner & Jeff C... Vegan is the safest choice in space, Captain.

	10:37am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Stop, Look, Listen (and Learn)" by "Ween" Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, but after that farty intro I'll go with it: I saw Ween open for Beck at The Santa Monica Civic. Gene or Dean, I can't remember which said 'This cheese smells like someone's ass!' This observation was met with an audible groan from the audience. There you go - smelly humor from down below will always polarize whoever it's aimed at.
	10:37am Kat in the chat: I’ve noted that French in Action link, Krys, thanks! You were quite the scholar. For reasons I will never understand, my mother insisted I take other languages in school. My best friend was in advanced French classes and I wanted to take French too!
	👻 10:37am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "A Day in the Life" by "Big Daddy" Big Daddy were the best.

	10:56am Sondy in the 'office': Hey Franco! Hope you've been doing good !
	10:57am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sondy in the 'office' @10:56 Imma good! You?
	👻 10:58am WR: Hello Franco, Feldy, Sondy, and folks who've joined. Taking a short break for spiced tea and hopefully can give full attention to the Torch is Burning segment.
	👻 10:59am Krys O.: Gee, I was probably at that record fair in 2017.
	11:00am Franco Twinkie: ↳ WR @10:58 WR! I'm toasting up a slab of seedy bread to shmear with peanut butter.
	👻 11:06am WR: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:00 Sounds good. Tonight, if work doesn't blow up, I'm going to try a recipe where the main ingredient besides spices is ground dark meat chicken, can of white beans, and can of pickled jalapeños. Will make some corn bread too.
	11:07am Kat in the chat: Oh god Rich in Washington did one of those fake podcasts, it was creepy as hell

	11:11am Otis: I'm crackin' up here!
	11:12am Mr Fab: Otis, gawd no, this is like if WFMU was an NPR station!
	👻 11:13am Krys O.: Everyone on Sheena's should be playing this!
	11:13am Sondy in the 'office': The innuendos WERE NOT thinly veiled!
	11:13am Otis: So safe, so santized!
	11:14am Franco Twinkie: I'm stunned.
	11:15am Kat in the chat: The innuendos were largely veil-free
	11:16am Feldy: never not projecting desires
	11:16am Fisherman: Late capitalism needs to ironically assimilate its contradictions and thus create a new hip 'genuine' so as to maintain the status quo.
	👻 11:16am Krys O.: Play this with farts in the background.
	11:17am Fisherman: The more irony you pile on, the more mainstream it gets.
	11:17am Sondy in the 'office': Hey, Roma is not cheap, it'ss just a good deal!
	11:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @11:16 Right! No one ever talks about the presence of farts when you're "getting to know' someone!
	👻 11:18am WR: Damn, I think I missed something. I gotta go back and listen and Lean In.

	11:20am Franco Twinkie: Who is this hag in a kaftan!?
	👻 11:22am WR: ↳ Feldy @11:20 Seems the tool just grabbed what it could to fit into its existing known tropes.
	11:33am Franco Twinkie: Ransom notes?
	11:33am Webhamster Henry: There's a whole world of Christian folk rock musicals that were a kind of Jesus Christ Superstar fallout.

	11:34am Otis: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:33 Word/Light have a few different ones, Natural High being a fav. Also, the album "For Mature Adults Only" is fantastic.
	11:34am Kat in the chat: Mark Hurst has said too much about how much energy and water AI consumes for me to be comfortable playing with it…
	11:34am Webhamster Henry: and for more large language fun, there's my largelanguage.band material
	11:35am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:34 Pfft. nobody talks about the energy consumption of ALL THE OTHER internet services.
	11:36am Franco Twinkie: That's right. What do you think the comment board runs on - Diet Fresca?
	👻 11:38am Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:35 All those liquids generate a lot of E-Urine, I bet.
	11:42am Feldy: Bit of a tongue-twister there with Shoul Salsa I mean Souls Shalsa.. jeez I can't say it
