	11:02am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:02 The bunker app rules. I gotta mention it at least once every show here.

	👻 11:06am Kat in the chat: ↳ Otis @11:02 If you go to Kenny G's Hour of Pain (all the KG shows are under there) and scroll down for a while you will see a show labeled "Cheese Snob Wendy." It's right next to a Robert Ashley interview, which I might listen to later today.
	11:07am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:06 Oh cool, thanks!
	11:07am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:56 Oh no! haha. Hi Kat. That was so long ago. Is it the Cheese Orgy episode, with tons of staff eating a buncha cheeses with me? Or was it just one with me and KG? I was on his show quite a bit.
	👻 11:08am Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 It's the Cheese Orgy!
	11:08am Otis: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 That's so awesome, I remember a bit about these, need to refresh my memories.
	11:12am Wendy del Formaggio: Here's how I ended up on Kenny G's show: I was working at Zabar's in NYC, writing cheese descriptions for their new website. Musta been about 2006. I emailed Kenny G and said something like "Your show helps me at work. I write descriptions of cheese for Zabar's. Stop laughing; that's really my job." Kenny replied back within minutes, inviting me to be on his show as a regular guest. I was already regularly volunteering at WFMU, so it was easy to arrange my volunteer time to be on the day he was on the air. He's the one who named me The Cheese Snob, in fact. I used that name professionally for years.
	👻 11:14am Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:12 I was just about to ask! People talk about Kenny G and roll their eyes and groan, but there is some great stuff in the archives. I got to meet him at Monty Hall a few years ago.
	👻 11:17am Kat in the chat: I wonder how long Silhouette aired? I remember hearing these but I think it was after 1968. I would only have been eight at the time.
	11:17am Andres: I must have worked with some good people because none of them ever asked me to turn off Kenny G. Lots of “what are we listening to??” but otherwise good.
	11:19am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:14 Kenny G is a divisive person, for sure. I was completely intimidated by him, but that was on me, not on him. He was gracious and generous to me. I have a lot of respect for him.
	11:19am Feldy: And his name shall be called Otis
	11:21am asheville jon: Man, this is way heavy
	11:21am Sonderangebot: Where's my Cher?
	👻 11:21am WR: Hey man I'm right here and my head is bowed down 'cause I'm writing this. Peace out.
	👻 11:23am Kat in the chat: Hey this is Christmas content! Not Christmas music though. I guess it's ok.
	11:24am Otis: ↳ Sonderangebot @11:21 Well, I coulddddddd
	11:25am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:14 Here's an old blog of mine I found, which shows the name Kenny G bestowed upon me. Whadda stumble down memory lane! My old friend Marc designed my logo, which is an incredible likeness of me. askthecheesesnob.blogspot.com...
	👻 11:27am Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:25 What a treasure! I will peruse this later!
	11:27am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:27 :-)
	👻 11:28am Kat in the chat: I must say it's nice to have today off as well as tomorrow. That's why I'm chatty.
	11:29am Sonderangebot: That's OKKkkkkk
	11:31am northguineahills: been here!
	👻 11:33am Kat in the chat: I've heard a lot of stuff with Kenny G and Irwin in the archives so far. Notably Kenny begging to suck Irwin's nipples in the course of a marathon show.
	11:34am Feldy: ↳ northguineahills @11:31 Howdy, @NGH
	11:34am Wendy del Formaggio: Ok going into lurking mode. Thanks, Otis!
	👻 11:34am Kat in the chat: My sex education: pamphlets and booklets provided by my parents. That might be a Catholic thing.
	11:35am northguineahills: ↳ Feldy @11:34 feldy!
	11:36am Otis: ↳ Sonderangebot @11:29 Got it all set, coming soon!
	11:36am Ben_in_Minnesota: He's talking about wood in a weird way
	11:37am Sonderangebot: This is a communist record! They are chanting the volga boat song while chopping wood or something
	11:38am asheville jon: Mmmmm toasted puppy seed bagels
	👻 11:38am Krys O.: ↳ asheville jon @11:38 LOL!
	👻 11:39am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "How Babies are Born" by "The Christophers" Mr. Christopher is all kinds of mixed up.
	11:40am Ben_in_Minnesota: The term "Old man" is given, since the Christopher's don't believe women have souls.
	11:41am northguineahills: my parents told me about sex when I was two, and it had a book w/ animals getting giggity. my father, albeit a fundy, was a physician, and did a slide show for my fifth grade classes and the same for my church youth group. (there was a lot of information about STDs and condom usage,
	11:44am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:41 Oh man. Kids are fine receiving this info but to have one of your parents present the info to all one’s friends and classmates is something else!
	11:46am Andres: Did that guy just say “Dig Dug”?!
	11:46am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:46 darn, stepped out and missed the digdug....
	11:47am Otis: ↳ Andres @11:46 Sure did, there is a whole Dig Dug track on how to beat the game.. used to play this like crazy... as well as Pitfall, but that's more Atari 2600.
	👻 11:50am WR: Have been moving so slow and easily distracted to that I just took my first sip of caffeine beverage. And I'll never catch up with you youngsters. Did not know that Dig Dug was a video game. I had thought it was simply wordplay from our friend NGH.
	11:50am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:44 i was fine w/ it (i mean, I was too shy around girls for another 7 years anyways (from the fifth grade). the odd thing, is at school the for the classes, the males and females were segregated, but not at church
	11:52am northguineahills: ↳ WR @11:50 it is both, i was inspired by the game way before the wfmu comments board (but i only started to say it in emails back in 2000ish).
	11:52am Otis: Hi NGH, afternoon!
	👻 11:52am Kat in the chat: Oh my, would you look at the time. Merry Holiday, Otis and all!
	11:52am northguineahills: thanks otis, it's been holidelical, muchas domo dankes!
	11:54am asheville jon: Thanks Otis!
	11:54am Sonderangebot: Happy Holidays everyone ~
	👻 11:54am Krys O.: Thanks, Otis!
	👻 11:56am WR: Thank you! Otis! Not an entirely xmas free zone but at least xmas lite.
	👻 11:56am Kat in the chat: I might be super busy at work but will be tuned to the fill-in!
	11:56am Andres: Thanks, Otis! Happy Crimble, all!
	11:57am Sonderangebot: ↳ Song: "DJ Play A Christmas Song" by "Cher" Hahaha you did it!! I could hear in your voice your reluctance!
	11:58am Ben_in_Minnesota: Merry Christmas to everyone!
	👻 11:58am WR: ↳ Sonderangebot @11:57 I think Otis took to heart the lessons learned from the pickup bar scenario and knew it was the better choice.
	11:59am Feldy: It’s music I luv
	12:00pm Feldy: Thanks Otis! Making spirits bright
	12:00pm Otis: Bye all, cheers and see ya in the chats!

	11:02am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:02 The bunker app rules. I gotta mention it at least once every show here.

	👻 11:06am Kat in the chat: ↳ Otis @11:02 If you go to Kenny G's Hour of Pain (all the KG shows are under there) and scroll down for a while you will see a show labeled "Cheese Snob Wendy." It's right next to a Robert Ashley interview, which I might listen to later today.
	11:07am Otis: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:06 Oh cool, thanks!
	11:07am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:56 Oh no! haha. Hi Kat. That was so long ago. Is it the Cheese Orgy episode, with tons of staff eating a buncha cheeses with me? Or was it just one with me and KG? I was on his show quite a bit.
	👻 11:08am Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 It's the Cheese Orgy!
	11:08am Otis: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 That's so awesome, I remember a bit about these, need to refresh my memories.
	11:12am Wendy del Formaggio: Here's how I ended up on Kenny G's show: I was working at Zabar's in NYC, writing cheese descriptions for their new website. Musta been about 2006. I emailed Kenny G and said something like "Your show helps me at work. I write descriptions of cheese for Zabar's. Stop laughing; that's really my job." Kenny replied back within minutes, inviting me to be on his show as a regular guest. I was already regularly volunteering at WFMU, so it was easy to arrange my volunteer time to be on the day he was on the air. He's the one who named me The Cheese Snob, in fact. I used that name professionally for years.
	👻 11:14am Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:12 I was just about to ask! People talk about Kenny G and roll their eyes and groan, but there is some great stuff in the archives. I got to meet him at Monty Hall a few years ago.
	👻 11:17am Kat in the chat: I wonder how long Silhouette aired? I remember hearing these but I think it was after 1968. I would only have been eight at the time.
	11:17am Andres: I must have worked with some good people because none of them ever asked me to turn off Kenny G. Lots of “what are we listening to??” but otherwise good.
	11:19am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:14 Kenny G is a divisive person, for sure. I was completely intimidated by him, but that was on me, not on him. He was gracious and generous to me. I have a lot of respect for him.
	11:19am Feldy: And his name shall be called Otis
	11:21am asheville jon: Man, this is way heavy
	11:21am Sonderangebot: Where's my Cher?
	👻 11:21am WR: Hey man I'm right here and my head is bowed down 'cause I'm writing this. Peace out.
	👻 11:23am Kat in the chat: Hey this is Christmas content! Not Christmas music though. I guess it's ok.
	11:24am Otis: ↳ Sonderangebot @11:21 Well, I coulddddddd
	11:25am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:14 Here's an old blog of mine I found, which shows the name Kenny G bestowed upon me. Whadda stumble down memory lane! My old friend Marc designed my logo, which is an incredible likeness of me. askthecheesesnob.blogspot.com...
	👻 11:27am Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:25 What a treasure! I will peruse this later!
	11:27am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:27 :-)
	👻 11:28am Kat in the chat: I must say it's nice to have today off as well as tomorrow. That's why I'm chatty.
	11:29am Sonderangebot: That's OKKkkkkk
	11:31am northguineahills: been here!

	11:38am asheville jon: Mmmmm toasted puppy seed bagels
	👻 11:38am Krys O.: ↳ asheville jon @11:38 LOL!
	👻 11:39am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "How Babies are Born" by "The Christophers" Mr. Christopher is all kinds of mixed up.
	11:40am Ben_in_Minnesota: The term "Old man" is given, since the Christopher's don't believe women have souls.
	11:41am northguineahills: my parents told me about sex when I was two, and it had a book w/ animals getting giggity. my father, albeit a fundy, was a physician, and did a slide show for my fifth grade classes and the same for my church youth group. (there was a lot of information about STDs and condom usage,
	11:44am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:41 Oh man. Kids are fine receiving this info but to have one of your parents present the info to all one’s friends and classmates is something else!
	11:46am Andres: Did that guy just say “Dig Dug”?!
	11:46am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:46 darn, stepped out and missed the digdug....
	11:47am Otis: ↳ Andres @11:46 Sure did, there is a whole Dig Dug track on how to beat the game.. used to play this like crazy... as well as Pitfall, but that's more Atari 2600.
	👻 11:50am WR: Have been moving so slow and easily distracted to that I just took my first sip of caffeine beverage. And I'll never catch up with you youngsters. Did not know that Dig Dug was a video game. I had thought it was simply wordplay from our friend NGH.
	11:50am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:44 i was fine w/ it (i mean, I was too shy around girls for another 7 years anyways (from the fifth grade). the odd thing, is at school the for the classes, the males and females were segregated, but not at church
	11:52am northguineahills: ↳ WR @11:50 it is both, i was inspired by the game way before the wfmu comments board (but i only started to say it in emails back in 2000ish).
	11:52am Otis: Hi NGH, afternoon!
	👻 11:52am Kat in the chat: Oh my, would you look at the time. Merry Holiday, Otis and all!
