Bang, he wrote.

That caption, verbatim, was used on a cartoonist's homage to the Charlie Hebdo victims the other day.

🥁

8:50am Brian in UK:

I've never seen a straight banana republic either.

8:50am Maggie B.:

🥁

8:52am listener james from westwood:

Hey hey, Doug and everyone!

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
I shoulda known. Yes, the audio is absolutely, um, crazy.

@Listener James
Time to make hey!

🥁

8:54am bobdc:

Doug, once again you've managed to find an animated GIF that will take on new meaning with each song you play.

8:57am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
If the dude pictured begins singing in time with any song on today's show, every listener gets a dollar-off coupon for next week's show!

🥁

8:58am Brian in UK:

Think I have the emperor's new clothes gif.

🥁

8:58am bobdc:

Time? We don't need no stinkin' time. We're FMU listeners.

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you for your naked honesty, Brian in UK.

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
You get a $2-off coupon.

🥁

9:00am Brian in UK:

Seriously Doug. I logged in via the info page and there is no gif on the playlist.

9:00am Maggie B.:

seems like the horror is not over in Paris.

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

That's odd, Brian; I've got a gif on this side. UM's, too.

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
What info page are you referring to?

@Maggie
Horrible horrible horrible.

9:02am Uncle Michael:

With Gif on my side...

🥁

9:03am Brian in UK:

Doug on the WFMU front page with all the stream shows listed.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Choosey listeners choose gif.

9:04am Parq:

Morning all. Made it for the opening notes of Jujus for a change. Too much horrible in the news to contemplate. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the playground, with my head in the sand.

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I see the gif when I view the playlist from that link.

Good morning, Parq!

9:06am annie:

morning all... i'm also going to be in the back seats, lots to do.. great sunny cold morning here in asheville.

9:08am Gary:

Yeeeeee-haw! Please that you & Mikey gotta deliver the jams 2-day; I'm stuck inside all day working ...

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, backseat annie!

🥁

9:08am Brian in UK:

Oddly odd and strangely strange. Happy to be gifless.

9:10am davex:

Had the stream on and suddenly heard the theme music. Now I know it's Friday, thanks!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Yeeeee, Gary! Haw, davex!

9:11am Uncle Michael:

Hinky Dinky Time's Music for Shut-Ins

9:13am passive aggressive jeff g:

Started without me, I see. No no, that's cool. That's cool.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

@pajg
Still wearing your pajamas? That's cool.

9:14am Parq:

Jeff G, we won't change the light bulb, you can just sit there in the dark.

🥁

9:17am Brian in UK:

Jeffrey you are getting no more treats until you eat up all your breakfast.

9:18am passive aggressive jeff g:

@Doug: wait, you can see me?

@Parq, my son, why don't you ever visit anymore? Too busy with your busy busy life. That's fine.

🥁

9:18am Brian in UK:

I heard that.

🥁

9:19am duke:

Sorry to be late. What did I miss?

🥁

9:19am Brian in UK:

duke only the greatest record EVER made.

9:19am Uncle Michael:

Your accordion is not an accordion. - Beefheart

9:19am Gary:

Love this effed up merengue

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
'No prob, I'll rewind.

9:21am Rich in Washington:

Whoa, this is crazy!

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

Latin Playboys go south.

9:22am Uncle Michael:

I love that Latin Playboys album.

9:23am Mr C:

Move aside Bradshaw, Stargell, Parker, Greene and Franco Harris, the Real King of Pittsburgh is on the air! Get on up..

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Rich in Washington
"Crazy for feeling so lonely. Crazy for feeling so blue."

9:24am davex:

@Doug: Just play the first half backwards at 10:30, if that's any easier.

🥁

9:24am Brian in UK:

Going to see Get On Up tonight. Though not a fan of biopics.

9:25am Holly in NC:

Good morning Doug & all!

@UM - cosign Latin Playboys, their 1st st lp just blew my mind. Not as familiar w. Dose.

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

@MR C
They put coleslaw and fries on their radio, here!!

9:25am Uncle Michael:

That side-project was so elemental to Los Lobos' evolution and you could hear the lingering effects on Colossal Head and thereafter.

🥁

9:26am duke:

This wasn't your old man's Merengue

9:26am Gary:

You're playin actual CDs?

9:28am Uncle Michael:

12 degrees here

9:31am Alex In Illinois:

What gif are people talking about? Today's playlist does not show any gif.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

We're all the way up to 20°F. Balmy.

@Gary
Actually real CDs! Remember them?!

9:32am Parq:

Speaking of outlander rock and roll, we in NYC have this to look forward to, coming next April:
filmforum.org...

9:32am Uncle Michael:

This gif:

blogfiles.wfmu.org...

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
Weird. You and Brian in UK cannot see the gif for some reason. Can you see the gif on Uncle Michael's page: wfmu.org... ??

9:34am Alex In Illinois:

Thanks Uncle Michael.
@Doug. Yes, there is an animated gif on Uncle Michael's page. Just not one on yours.

9:35am trsh:

I'd guess it's hitting some kind of threshold of size. Super slow on mine..have been searching for the toggle images switch til now.

9:35am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone! In from the cold

🥁

9:35am Brian in UK:

Alex I can only see it from Doug's email link.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

@trsh
Yeah, I feared that. I guess the file is too big for my playlist page. It's really slow on my end, too. Let me speed it up a little.

9:36am trsh:

DId I notice that filesize on that gif correctly? ~1.5MB??

9:38am Alex In Illinois:

Thus Gamelan rock track is amazing.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

This album was voted #2 on Rolling Stone Indonesia's top 150 list! (#53 coming up later in this set).

@trsh
I have no idea. You say that like it's a bad thing.

9:40am davex:

There is a Rolling Stone Indonesian top 150?

9:40am Shaun:

Has everyone seen the Javanese gamelan cover of Not Great Men? www.youtube.com...
Afternoon Doug and buds.

9:41am Gary:

Hey, wait -- *I* want a zebra!

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
More info about Guruh Gipsy: www.progarchives.com...

Howdy, Shaun!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
My zebra's favorite movie? STRIPES (get it?)

@ndbob
Pull up close to your "radio" and warm up, for heaven's sake!

🥁

9:44am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Groaning at the zebra joke. But never at the music.

9:44am trsh:

1.5MB and the auto page refreshing is a lousy combo.

And heya.

9:44am ndbob:

It's like a typical North Dakota winter day... but not being in North Dakota anymore...

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@trsh
Well who the heck put me in charge! (Thanks for the 411. What size would you say is the upper limit for such a scenario?)

9:45am Alex In Illinois:

It won't tickle my tongue, Zebra!
(anyone remember that commercial?)

9:46am Shaun:

'I've got a fly - She Can Be Swallowed by an Old Woman'. You could get a whole album out of them...

9:47am trsh:

..> ~ http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2012/01/25/Strutting-zebra.gif

9:47am Uncle Michael:

trsh, once your browser has cached the image once, it shouldn't need to pull it across the net again.

9:47am Holly in NC:

Balmy 32F here! Yesterday was our hell day. Had to walk dogs @ 8F with crazy wind chill, lips started bleeding, ever so attractive.

I loved that Zebra song, and I bet those folks were totally straight edge ;-)

9:48am Uncle Michael:

Stream has cut out a couple of times, Doug.

9:49am Cecile:

hola!

9:49am Holly in NC:

^ song about zebras

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone else experience a drop-out? My connection has remained solid (knock wood).

9:50am ndbob:

heya Holly! et al - no dropout here Doug

9:51am Alex In Illinois:

@Holly: At least your temperatures have mostly been in the positive numbers. In the Chicago area, we have been going into negative numbers, and that is still the Fahrenheit scale. Right now it is up to 3F here which is -16C.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome and bienvenue, Cecile!

9:51am Cecile:

and if you were still interested, the complete Batman series was a HUGE hit with Mr. Cloutier.
FYI, it even has a button on the side of the box where if you push it, it goes: "na na na na na na na na Batman!"

9:52am Cecile:

it is ridiculously cold. -3 with a brisk wind.

🥁

9:52am listener james from westwood:

One brief drop from earlier that I can recall.

🥁

9:52am Artie Haywire:

Bells, gongs and bowls ringing without interruption at this location.

9:53am Holly in NC:

@Alex - I'm way out of practice with sorts of temps - don't envy you at all. Stay safe!!!!

🥁

9:53am listener james from westwood:

@Cecile, I've seen a number of raves about the Batman boxed set in my Twitter stream.

🥁

9:53am duke:

No dropouts here.

🥁

9:53am Artie Haywire:

Oops, kissed the flagpole again.

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Get out the safety net, Artie's on the Highwire again!

9:54am davex:

Stream and set have been great over here.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Frozen to the flagpole on the highwire, that is.

🥁

9:55am Brian in UK:

Is that a euphemism, Artie or just chaps on your lips?

9:55am Cecile:

listener james, it is all that. And we haven't even played a single episode yet.

9:57am trsh:

UM, even if I cache (don't always) my little comp, here is neither large nor speedy.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for monitoring the stream connection for me, friends. I'm always the last to know! (Because of the massive delay from the time I send out my audio to the time it "plays" on the stream, it's hard for me to monitor the audio in real time.)

9:58am davex:

Hey, Brian! Is it mild and blustery over your way as well?

🥁

10:02am Artie Haywire:

No hidden meanings, it was just really cute. Poor impulse control on my part.

10:03am Gary:

Yay Flashstrap!

🥁

10:04am Brian in UK:

The gif has appeared.

davex changeable is the word. I prefer prefabricated but it is not really relevant. This morning was windy, 113mph gusts in Scotland, wet then still, then beautiful clear skies now chilly.

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

Can I de-gif?

10:06am davex:

Prefab weather! It's very April-like here.

10:08am Cecile:

Doug, you can get some great people watching and some great stories out of there.

I've been there - have had to take entry level jobs a couple times after getting my BA. Just put your Doug magic into it.

10:08am ndbob:

Hoagy! Bloomington's own - and the archives are here as well

🥁

10:08am Brian in UK:

davex think you have hit the nail on the head.

10:08am Andrew Waterloo:

That's the one thing I liked about those -40C mornings. The bright and very blue sky

10:09am Cecile:

My sister thinks he's a horrible singer. I think he might be the best interpreter of his own songs. I am right, of course. :D

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

I remember Perry Botkin from some Sixties arrangements. Hoyt Axton?

10:10am Cecile:

love this guitar solo. years ahead of its time.

🥁

10:10am Brian in UK:

Barnacle Bill the Sailor has my vote.

10:10am ndbob:

Perry Botkin was a great producer - including a good number of 45s on Valiant

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

I have met my Andrew Waterloo!

@Cecil
I am approaching the job like an anthropological research trip.

@ndbob
Here in Pittsburgh, they call him Submarine Sandwich Carmichael.

10:12am Cecile:

He also co-wrote the Theme to the Young and the Restless (Nadia's Theme).

10:13am Cecile:

Doug, partly do that, but also leave yourself open to surprise. You never know what's going to happen next in retail, and that can be great.

10:14am ndbob:

@Doug Ha!

10:14am Cecile:

Of course, I am being very optimistic, my entry level experiences weren't that great, but I got money I needed, and learned a lot about people.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

OK, I have stilled the gif in the hopes of loosing the playlist re-load craziness.

10:18am Andrew Waterloo:

I start a new job the Monday after next. It will be my third job in the same office.

10:19am Andrew Waterloo:

... a third company too.

10:20am Maggie B.:

wow, Doug, a close friend is going through the same thing. She had a good accounting job, lost that, was unemployed for a long stretch and now is working at a retail outlet. her schedule is unpredictable and her hours are long enough to keep her from being considered a full-time worker, and unable to see friends and family. i hope your schedule's not so brutal!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
I told them I couldn't work Tuesdays or Fridays. The rest is in their hands. I just love people nearly a third my age saying to me, "Ok go take your unpaid 30-minute meal break."

10:24am Maggie B.:

oh man.

10:25am Cecile:

unpaid? in PA? wow, that sucks. We used to get paid lunch if we worked more than 6.5 hours in Michigan in the 80s.

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

There is also 'Yes, we have no bananas' A charming litttle ditty.

10:26am Andrew Waterloo:

I seriously doubt these retail environments are really saving that much money by hiring more people and spending so much of their resources micromanaging people, their schedules, and their bathroom breaks.

🥁

10:27am Brian in UK:

The zero hours contracts here are vile.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

In Pennsylvania, workers have to be given 30-minute breaks before they reach six consecutive hours. And the meals breaks are unpaid. For an 8-hour shift, I am actually "at work" for 8.5 hours. Every minute I am working, I am being timed so they can see if I am moving fast enough. Maybe it is THEY who are doing the anthropological experiment, not me.

10:29am Cecile:

their margins are razor-thin, and I think they try to drive off people who might question things to replace them with people who would be content no matter what.

10:29am Andrew Waterloo:

Unpaid lunch is standard now, which basically means everybody works an 8.5 hour day if they are full time.

10:30am still b/p:

gif or no gif, my connection was a balky choky stalling bastard at first today. If I tell you about it, I'd sound like Ralphie after he has taken a BB to the face on Christmas morning and is giving Mom his gaspy crying bullshit tale.

And so I missed the job announcement. Where will you mind the store, Doug?

A couple of people advised me to join the seasonal L.L. Bean phone gang up here, and though it's not the same as direct in-person retail, and friends had no horror stories, I still might prefer a BB to the eye...every fifteen minutes.

10:31am Maggie B.:

@Doug, Brian, Andrew & Cecile - damn, welcome to feudalism.

10:32am Stanley:

@Doug - Hi, if its any consolation, I'm self-employed and I work like a fucking idiot.

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

@Maggie at least then we got to sleep with the animals now we are treated like them.

10:33am Andrew Waterloo:

@Cecile. Bukowski actually wrote about that in Ham and Rye, and he wrote about incongruous time contraints at the post office... so there is really nothing new there. I think the real difference today is that they treat employees like simple robots with no expectation of working effectively outside a tightly defined regiment. That's why they bring in 3 cashiers for 2 hours during the peak instead of having a couple full time employees that can be shifted between departments.

10:33am Cecile:

Maggie, I know. Been there.

And I have a decent job now, but no paid lunch. I can deal, but still.

10:34am Maggie B.:

there's a costco in Pittsburgh - i imagine no one is giving up their job there, Doug? Supposedly they are the most humane retail employers around.

10:35am Cecile:

But that's one of the things that unions tend to give up to keep other things.

10:35am Jesse K:

morning everyone! Just dropping by for a moment. it's gently snowing in boston

🥁

10:35am Brian in UK:

Stanley there must be a reason for that.........you must stop dressing up like a giant penis at work.

10:35am Andrew Waterloo:

@Maggie.. ironically, CostCo's 'over paid' workforce is also one of the most efficient.

10:36am Maggie B.:

I hear ya, Cecile. I'm clinging to the very decent job I've had since '86, but always wondering when I'm gonna get the ax and wind up in retail purgatory.

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Target, with the bullseye on my posterior.

@Jesse K
It's blizzarding here, so you've got more coming your way...

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
I'd prefer to time my bathroom break myself, thank you.

10:37am Maggie B.:

@ Brian - touche!

🥁

10:38am Brian in UK:

@Andrew does that not tell you something. I am sure that Costco is not over generous with pay. A little respect goes a long way though.

10:40am still b/p:

Good good good luck, Doug.

@ Jesse -- Boston -- Olympics contender! Thaaaat's gonna be contention-free, and if they're awarded the games, it's gonna be all efficient, wisely planned, reasonable in cost and clean from every angle.

10:40am Cecile:

they pay what your average temp office employee gets. Which is $1-3 more than most retail people at least.

10:41am Stanley:

I wish I had an attitude more like Henry Chinaski

10:43am Andrew Waterloo:

@Brian. I completely Dedicated employees make a significant but silent contribution to any organization. You give someone a decent wage and treat them well they will give you more than you ask for. If you don't, you're going to waste your time training people, micromanaging them, and replacing stolen merchandise.

10:44am Cecile:

some people see only numbers - some shrinkage today is cheaper than training in the short term, and it looks good on the balance sheet.

🥁

10:46am Brian in UK:

Stanley but not his drinking or 'good' looks.
Here is a Ubuweb link ubu.com...

🥁

10:47am Brian in UK:

Ah Nonesuch. Three cheers for Jac Holtzman.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

At 32, Wuorinen was the youngest Pulitzer Prize winner for Music. Has there been anyone younger since?

10:51am Dean:

Taylor Swift?

10:52am Stanley:

@Brian - yeah but he certainly told The Man to sod off!
Thanks for the link.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
No, he took forever re-cuffing my tuxedo bottoms. SNARG!

10:56am Gary:

Loving the crazy synth stuff

10:57am Dean:

Cobbler Reliable?

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Yes, as long as you don't overbake and forget the nutmeg.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Crazy Synthstuff. Sounds like a character from Peewee's Playhouse.

11:00am Dean:

And how is that ol' nut Meg?

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I wouldn't know. I have a Meg nut allergy.

11:03am still b/p:

Tuxedo cuffs??!!
This is actually the more boring of the relevant scenes from "Swing Time." The better moment is later in the movie when a tailor is apoplectically opposed to the cuff job.

www.youtube.com...

11:04am Parq:

Just checked my email. Oh no, I missed "Destroy the Nihilistic Picnic"!

11:05am Jeff Golick:

Hi, again. Dressed and everything now, thanks for asking.

ARASHI is also the name of a ragingly fine album that came out in 2014: trostrecords.bandcamp.com...

11:06am Dean:

An oeuf with the punning! There has been a younger Pulitzer recipient for music. In 2013 Caroline Shaw won for her Partita for 8 Voices. She was 31 years old. Wynton Marsalis won in 1997 at 36, the same age as Aaron Jay Kernis when he won the next year.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
We didn't destroy the entire picnic. We preserved its nose cryogenically. For future generations.

@Jeff Golick
Your zipper is down. HAHA, made ya look!

11:07am Andrew Waterloo:

I mentioned this on another playlist... it turns out Bill Exly from Nihilist Spasm Band was one of Malcolm Gladwell's high school teachers.

11:10am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: re that unpaid break, I was reminded of the sad but predictable outcome of the Amazon warehouse worker case that went before the Supreme Court recently: www.nytimes.com...

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Can't bear to click the link, Jeff.

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

Do they have orifices checked as well.

🥁

11:16am listener james from westwood:

Why is it during Give the Drummer Some that I tend to have wonderfully therapeutic, hourlong conversations with one particular friend? Always with her during this show. She must like hearing it in the background.

Also, hat tip to the "Sleeper" ref to Parq. Watch out for steamrollers!

🥁

11:19am duke:

@LJFW I have the same problem. I seem to get long skype calls/meetings during GTDS. The universe is plotting against us.

11:19am Dean:

"Ye Marhaban" is Arabic, I believe, for "Shake It Off."

🥁

11:19am listener james from westwood:

If he says underwear will be changed 6 times a day and worn outside clothing so they can check, run don't walk.

🥁

11:21am listener james from westwood:

@duke, I had a Wed. conf. call dead smack in the middle of Nazario Scenario for a year. Awful. Not entirely displeased that contract's over. This person today actually pairs nicely w/ GTDS, so I didn't lower the volume.

11:22am Jeff Golick:

I like the idea of music/person pairings, like wine/food.

11:22am still b/p:

Maybe, like at a Disney park, they should call you and all employees "cast members."

11:22am davex:

Samira Tawfiq is great as always! And I believe "Ie" means "no" in Japanese,

🥁

11:22am Brian in UK:

"I am not a number I am a free man". ( in Charles Hawtry voice)

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Soon, Taylor Swift will begin "acting" and the wind up starring in a Woody Allen movie. Mark my words!

11:22am Jeff Golick:

@still b/p: I can't imagineer that.

11:23am Jeff Golick:

SHAKE OFF, also the name of a pretty good Middle Eastern-set thriller: www.amazon.com...

11:24am davex:

Or perhaps even better: "mentors" and "supportive friends".

🥁

11:24am Brian in UK:

Strip search that link.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

@davex
Thanks for the translation!

@Brian in UK
I had to Google Charles Hawtrey.

11:25am Carmichael:

Hi Doug and voyagers. Did you say the gif on this page is animated? Mine is just sitting still.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Our next performer is a copyeditor's dream.

11:25am Dean:

My, my. "Intifada" is Arabic for "a shaking off," according to the book linked by Jeff G.

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

davex 'Buddies' is a term that I dislike beyond ......

🥁

11:28am listener james from westwood:

Hah! Semicolon love is always welcome.

🥁

11:28am Brian in UK:

Do you think the full colon is Fela?

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
The gif WAS animated, but I loaded a file that was way too crazyass big for a re-loading page and it was gumming up the works. So I freeze-framed the gif and there we are.

Here was the original animated gif: blogfiles.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:29am listener james from westwood:

@davex @Brian: I wouldn't mind being called a minion.

11:29am davex:

Brian: I may have similar feelings about it.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
The full colon is a matter between you and your gastroenterologist.

11:29am still b/p:

Next Christmas, Doug will buy and send us employee-discount gifts. And like this year's surprised fans treated to Taylor Swift's holiday largesse, we will cry.

11:30am davex:

@James: That may actually express it best!

11:30am davex:

I call it the Semi-Bartolo

🥁

11:31am listener james from westwood:

@Doug, in that case, the gastro better put some newspapers down in the exam room.

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

Doug funny you should say that. No links available..

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

@davex
Nice Mets joke! (I know, Mets and joke are redundant.)

11:32am davex:

@Doug: Hey, now! Wait till this year!

11:34am Jeff Golick:

@davex, @Doug: was actually talking baseball with my son and his friend last night -- Mets might prove to be at least watchable this summer.

11:35am davex:

@Jeff: If all the starters are up to speed, they may be even better than that. If.

11:38am Uncle Michael:

This morning has been so busy that I'm looking forward to the relative nap of presenting Hinky Dinky Time.

I hope you'll all join me in the next room at the top of the hour. wfmu.org...

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Tastes just like chicken.

11:41am Jeff Golick:

Agreed, @davex. I'm anticipating a lot of 2-1 losses.

11:42am holland oats:

Chilly belated iphone greetings all!

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Waiter, bring me a crocdile sandwich and make it snappy.

11:42am still b/p:

Do you purse your lips to eat alligator meat?

11:42am Parq:

I've actually eaten alligator sausage. It definitely doesn't taste like chicken. (A friend of my wife's was aghast -- "You ate a LaCoste shirt?")

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

The great Lucky Thompson on sax here with Charlie Singleton. (And it was Buddy Lucas saxing with Titus Turner.)

11:43am Cecile:

the time I ate it, it tasted like tough fishy chicken

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Doesn't Sam Henry sound a lot like Gil Scott-Heron?!

11:45am Dean:

Isn't there a soft drink made out of alligator?

🥁

11:45am Brian in UK:

Well Doug this has been some show. Friday night fish fry over here.

🥁

11:45am Brian in UK:

11:47am listener james from westwood:

This Johnny K sounds like a real tool.

11:47am davex:

@Jeff: Sounding like a true Mets fan!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

How funny if his real name was Johnny K Phillips.

11:49am Mr C:

Moon & Mars?!? You got me on this man L.A.?

11:50am Alex In Illinois:

I have had gator gumbo a few times, and got some gator meat nad cooked it plain, just to taste the difference. My verdict concurs with Cecile's: Somewhere between a chicken and a fish. Maybe with a little bit of pork in there too.

11:51am still b/p:

And that sound so righty tighty.

11:51am Cecile:

damn, she's feeling it.

11:52am davex:

Thanks, Doug, for another fine three-hour tour.
