	🥁 ♥ 12:01pm Will thee SG OCNY: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 ♥ 12:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Back Of The Cave" by "Red Kross" Hey Bob and Dave! When my sister and I saw Red Kross open open for Sonic Youth in 1985, she overheard a greasy roadie refer to them as The Kross. Ever since, they have always been The Kross to us.
	12:06pm Dean: When I saw Red Cross, Al's Bar, they were still The Cross with a C.
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: www.wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 12:08pm Will thee SG OCNY: 💻 Pledge Online pledge.wfmu.org... The Bob Brainen Show on the Give the Drummer Stream!!!
	12:09pm Dean: The reference to bogus lawsuits prompted me to look up suits against the station. First result involves a dispute over oil and gas lease royalties in which WFMU stands for West Fuhrman-Macho Unit.
	12:12pm Dean: Not surprisingly, a few dozen FCC rulings involve the real WFMU.
	🥁 ♥ 12:14pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Hey Lover" by "Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Youn... I hear a mellotron!
	🥁 ♥ 12:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:06 Hi Dean!
	♥ 12:18pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Astro Cat #9" by "Infinite River" Proggish enough to be on “It’s Complicated"
	♥ 12:19pm Dave Mandl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:18 I was thinking the same thing.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:18 Good morning SPG.
	12:20pm Dean: Franco, what's up? I was in OC last weekend. Wish I'd had time to amble around LA.
	🥁 ♥ 12:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:20 Nothing much. Just making up a set to play at Poo Bah Records this afternoon. Today's theme - LP's in mono.
	♥ 12:24pm DanChusid: Good morning Bob and Dave. Interesting hearing the backstory on the oversized bumper stickers. I have one here that Irwin probably sent me years ago.
	♥ 12:24pm Dave Mandl: ↳ DanChusid @12:24 They're hilarious. I don't think I have room for one in my apartment.
	♥ 12:26pm Dave Mandl: Pledge! Show your support for Bob's amazing show. pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:26pm DanChusid: ↳ Dave Mandl @12:24 Yes, would need a ginormous pickup truck bumper to hold it.
	♥ 12:27pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:20 Franco!
	12:28pm Dean: I sure miss the Poo Bah on Walnut. WFMU is cited in a venture's efforts to trademark "Assholes live forever." From what I can tell, the court (or PTO panel?) cites this blog post: https://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/12/the_good_die_yo.html. The venture has not so far prevailed, and I doubt they will.
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:28 I noticed a For Sale sign in front of the old house on Walnut the other day.
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm Will thee SG OCNY: diggin the tunes, always a great time. I have only been listening to Bob Brainen for around 8 years, but the back-catalog in the archive is extenstive and amazing. I doubt I'll ever have the time to really do a thorough deep dive. The archives are an invaluable asset. Long live the WFMUniverse!!! We appreciate you! Also, Bob and Dave are both awesome!
	🥁 ♥ 12:42pm Will thee SG OCNY: Clinton Corners is in Dutchess County, NY kinda near Poughkeepsie, Salt Point, and Millbrook.
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm Will thee SG OCNY: 💯🔥📻
	🥁 ♥ 12:51pm Soule: Daws Butler. Voice of Huckleberry Hound.
	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm Soule: Pronounced like sole or soul.
	12:53pm gene sculatti: Hey, Bob!
	♥ 12:54pm David Shortell: Daws Butler is heard in the intro to "Radio Ravioli with Olivia", every Wednesday 9 to midnight on WFMU. wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 1:01pm Brian in UK: I can remember getting badges in cereal boxes when I was a nipper. Huckleberry Hound. Mr Jinks with ofcourse Pixie & Dixie as well as Yogi Bear & Boo Boo. Never saw a badge for the Ranger though.
	♥ 1:04pm HollyRT: Hi Dave! Hi Bob. Just poking my head in for a sec. These jingles are incredible!
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: Hey Bob, Dave, Braineniacs! Off line now, got to listen to the 1st hour, always a great show!
	♥ 1:08pm Dave Mandl: ↳ HollyRT @1:04 Yeah, incredible. Hard to believe they're real.
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey to everyone who has joined the party, sorry I can't list individual names, I'm already F-in up!
	🥁 ♥ 1:09pm PAULS: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:00 hey SPG! I read the other day where a history of the Port of LA won the prestigious Bancroft Prize, A Machine to Move Ocean and Earth: The Making of the Port of Los Angeles and America, by James Tejani, born and raised in San Pedro! (my ex gf lives there and works at the Port so these things always catch my eye!)
	♥ 1:11pm David Shortell: ↳ Brian in UK @1:01 Daws' characterizations for H-B Productions were slight variations of celebrities' voices. E.g.: Huckleberry--Andy Griffith Jinks--Marlon Brando Yogi--Art Carney (The Ranger was voiced by Don Messick.)
	♥ 1:12pm chresti: ↳ David Shortell @1:11 I met his son in the late 70s
	🥁 ♥ 1:14pm Soule: ↳ David Shortell @1:11 Huckleberry does sound like Andy Griffith. I saw a documentary on voice actors where Daws talked about the inspiration for Huckleberry's voice and manner. It was someone he knew, I think his father-in-law.
	♥ 1:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Black Betty" by "Clifford Jordan" Love that record! Sounds great Bob and Dave!
	🥁 ♥ 1:16pm Will thee SG OCNY: Bob's mic level is low
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm (Mr) Bill: I won! Oh, what a happy International Women’s Day it is!
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Soule @1:14 And Yogi Bear does sound like a slightly varied Art Carney (or Ed Norton).
	♥ 1:18pm HollyRT: Speaking of, check out the Levi's commercial from the late 60s with Ken Nordine doing the voiceover (it's on Youtube I'm sure)
	1:19pm Dean: We are by no means more enlightened than any other time. But then we're not less enlightened, either.
	♥ 1:34pm Dave Mandl: Pledge to Bob's show! pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:44pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @1:18 Speaking of Yogi Bear, Yogi Berra once came down to WFMU to record some promos for a benefit event. WFMU was in East Orange (NJ) and Berra lived in Montclair. His people searched for the closest possible recording studio, and they found WFMU. Berra came down to the station and Stork engineered the recording of some promotional spots. It was all as perfectly charming as you might imagine.
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Doug Schulkind @1:44 that's interesting trivia knowledge
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Doug Schulkind @1:44 Love it. Are the promos in the archives?
	♥ 1:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @1:46 (Mr) Bill, no. This wasn't a WFMU project. The station got paid a small fee for studio rental, but we never had ownership of the recordings. (Amazingly, Stork did get Yogi to record a promo specifically for Give the Drummer Some, and I do have and treasure that amazing recording.)
	♥ 1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:08 What an inspired show! Thank, Bob!
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Doug Schulkind @1:51 Thanks for the first-hand lore, Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm wmfromd: A fine marathon show Bob and Dave!
	♥ 1:58pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm Devin B.: Woohoo! Thanks Bob and Dave!
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm (Mr) Bill: Thank you, Bob and Dave.
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm Will thee SG OCNY: Thank you Bob, Dan, and Pledgers!!!

	🥁 ♥ 12:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Back Of The Cave" by "Red Kross" Hey Bob and Dave! When my sister and I saw Red Kross open open for Sonic Youth in 1985, she overheard a greasy roadie refer to them as The Kross. Ever since, they have always been The Kross to us.
	12:06pm Dean: When I saw Red Cross, Al's Bar, they were still The Cross with a C.
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: www.wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 12:08pm Will thee SG OCNY: 💻 Pledge Online pledge.wfmu.org... The Bob Brainen Show on the Give the Drummer Stream!!!
	12:09pm Dean: The reference to bogus lawsuits prompted me to look up suits against the station. First result involves a dispute over oil and gas lease royalties in which WFMU stands for West Fuhrman-Macho Unit.
	12:12pm Dean: Not surprisingly, a few dozen FCC rulings involve the real WFMU.
	🥁 ♥ 12:14pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Hey Lover" by "Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Youn... I hear a mellotron!
	🥁 ♥ 12:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:06 Hi Dean!
	♥ 12:18pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Astro Cat #9" by "Infinite River" Proggish enough to be on “It’s Complicated"
	♥ 12:19pm Dave Mandl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:18 I was thinking the same thing.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:18 Good morning SPG.
	12:20pm Dean: Franco, what's up? I was in OC last weekend. Wish I'd had time to amble around LA.
	🥁 ♥ 12:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:20 Nothing much. Just making up a set to play at Poo Bah Records this afternoon. Today's theme - LP's in mono.
	♥ 12:24pm DanChusid: Good morning Bob and Dave. Interesting hearing the backstory on the oversized bumper stickers. I have one here that Irwin probably sent me years ago.
	♥ 12:24pm Dave Mandl: ↳ DanChusid @12:24 They're hilarious. I don't think I have room for one in my apartment.
	♥ 12:26pm Dave Mandl: Pledge! Show your support for Bob's amazing show. pledge.wfmu.org...

	♥ 12:27pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:20 Franco!
	12:28pm Dean: I sure miss the Poo Bah on Walnut. WFMU is cited in a venture's efforts to trademark "Assholes live forever." From what I can tell, the court (or PTO panel?) cites this blog post: https://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/12/the_good_die_yo.html. The venture has not so far prevailed, and I doubt they will.
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:28 I noticed a For Sale sign in front of the old house on Walnut the other day.
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm Will thee SG OCNY: diggin the tunes, always a great time. I have only been listening to Bob Brainen for around 8 years, but the back-catalog in the archive is extenstive and amazing. I doubt I'll ever have the time to really do a thorough deep dive. The archives are an invaluable asset. Long live the WFMUniverse!!! We appreciate you! Also, Bob and Dave are both awesome!
	🥁 ♥ 12:42pm Will thee SG OCNY: Clinton Corners is in Dutchess County, NY kinda near Poughkeepsie, Salt Point, and Millbrook.
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm Will thee SG OCNY: 💯🔥📻
	🥁 ♥ 12:51pm Soule: Daws Butler. Voice of Huckleberry Hound.
	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm Soule: Pronounced like sole or soul.
	12:53pm gene sculatti: Hey, Bob!
	♥ 12:54pm David Shortell: Daws Butler is heard in the intro to "Radio Ravioli with Olivia", every Wednesday 9 to midnight on WFMU. wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 1:01pm Brian in UK: I can remember getting badges in cereal boxes when I was a nipper. Huckleberry Hound. Mr Jinks with ofcourse Pixie & Dixie as well as Yogi Bear & Boo Boo. Never saw a badge for the Ranger though.
	♥ 1:04pm HollyRT: Hi Dave! Hi Bob. Just poking my head in for a sec. These jingles are incredible!
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: Hey Bob, Dave, Braineniacs! Off line now, got to listen to the 1st hour, always a great show!
	♥ 1:08pm Dave Mandl: ↳ HollyRT @1:04 Yeah, incredible. Hard to believe they're real.
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey to everyone who has joined the party, sorry I can't list individual names, I'm already F-in up!
	🥁 ♥ 1:09pm PAULS: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:00 hey SPG! I read the other day where a history of the Port of LA won the prestigious Bancroft Prize, A Machine to Move Ocean and Earth: The Making of the Port of Los Angeles and America, by James Tejani, born and raised in San Pedro! (my ex gf lives there and works at the Port so these things always catch my eye!)
	♥ 1:11pm David Shortell: ↳ Brian in UK @1:01 Daws' characterizations for H-B Productions were slight variations of celebrities' voices. E.g.: Huckleberry--Andy Griffith Jinks--Marlon Brando Yogi--Art Carney (The Ranger was voiced by Don Messick.)
	♥ 1:12pm chresti: ↳ David Shortell @1:11 I met his son in the late 70s
	🥁 ♥ 1:14pm Soule: ↳ David Shortell @1:11 Huckleberry does sound like Andy Griffith. I saw a documentary on voice actors where Daws talked about the inspiration for Huckleberry's voice and manner. It was someone he knew, I think his father-in-law.
	♥ 1:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Black Betty" by "Clifford Jordan" Love that record! Sounds great Bob and Dave!
	🥁 ♥ 1:16pm Will thee SG OCNY: Bob's mic level is low
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm (Mr) Bill: I won! Oh, what a happy International Women’s Day it is!
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Soule @1:14 And Yogi Bear does sound like a slightly varied Art Carney (or Ed Norton).
	♥ 1:18pm HollyRT: Speaking of, check out the Levi's commercial from the late 60s with Ken Nordine doing the voiceover (it's on Youtube I'm sure)
	1:19pm Dean: We are by no means more enlightened than any other time. But then we're not less enlightened, either.
	♥ 1:34pm Dave Mandl: Pledge to Bob's show! pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:44pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @1:18 Speaking of Yogi Bear, Yogi Berra once came down to WFMU to record some promos for a benefit event. WFMU was in East Orange (NJ) and Berra lived in Montclair. His people searched for the closest possible recording studio, and they found WFMU. Berra came down to the station and Stork engineered the recording of some promotional spots. It was all as perfectly charming as you might imagine.
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Doug Schulkind @1:44 that's interesting trivia knowledge
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Doug Schulkind @1:44 Love it. Are the promos in the archives?
	♥ 1:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @1:46 (Mr) Bill, no. This wasn't a WFMU project. The station got paid a small fee for studio rental, but we never had ownership of the recordings. (Amazingly, Stork did get Yogi to record a promo specifically for Give the Drummer Some, and I do have and treasure that amazing recording.)
	♥ 1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:08 What an inspired show! Thank, Bob!
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Doug Schulkind @1:51 Thanks for the first-hand lore, Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm wmfromd: A fine marathon show Bob and Dave!
	♥ 1:58pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm Devin B.: Woohoo! Thanks Bob and Dave!
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm (Mr) Bill: Thank you, Bob and Dave.
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm Will thee SG OCNY: Thank you Bob, Dan, and Pledgers!!!
