	6:12pm cory: how is this a political show? no one is yelling at the top of their voice.
	6:13pm -Ken: Right Cory? It's totally off-key
	6:15pm cory: i dig it!!
	6:15pm -Ken: Ana Marie Cox was the founder of Wonkette, and she's been contributing to The Daily Beast recently. She was Rachel Maddow's fill-in a few years back.
	6:16pm cory: has she also been on Harmontown?
	6:18pm -Ken: Not that I know of..
	6:18pm glenn: sacred? oh please.
	6:18pm melinda: Hi people!
	6:20pm cory: must have been someone else from Wonkette, or she's on the wishlist
	6:23pm -Ken: Hi Melinda
	6:23pm cory: oh yeah. Hi melinda and all
	6:26pm -Ken: Glenn, I like your favorite songs list!
	6:27pm Carmichael: Heya everyone. Listening in whilst working at a frenzied level ....
	6:27pm melinda: So true about the prez invading all spaces.
	6:28pm -Ken: Cory, I like yours too, but there is no Hootie and the Blowfish on it so I am confused.
	6:28pm glenn: thanks, ken. it's a little schizophrenic.
	6:28pm -Ken: @melinda it's true. He even finds his way into f'in RECIPES.
	6:30pm Jeff: F'in recipes from the 18th century!
	6:30pm cory: @Ken, it would be on there if you played my request! :P Trump hasn't gotten into comic books has he? hopefully no one has told him Captain America is black.
	6:30pm melinda: @Ken I don't even want to know what that might be...
	6:32pm glenn: i think there is a silver lining. the republicans are eating themselves into a death spiral.
	6:32pm cory: @melinda, bread pudding made with ONLY white bread #Sad
	6:33pm melinda: I question the assumption that being marginalized means you never take a break from politics.
	6:34pm glenn: ummmm. doug flutie is probably the best quarterback the c.f.l. ever had. there's more than one pro football league, ya know.
	6:35pm melinda: Doug Flutie is a funny name.
	6:35pm Carmichael: 3 down football is an interesting concept.
	6:35pm Bad bob: Well, I consume approximately 0 media outside wfmu so I didn't realize everything else is saturated in trump... But thanks or not being so! Except this of course... Which I'll likely stop listening too
	6:35pm -Ken: That's right Glenn, and let us not forget the XFL.
	6:36pm cory: XFL is/was the ladies in undies league?
	6:36pm -Ken: Next week, TARFU goes live, or half live, so there may be call-ins
	6:37pm glenn: three downs, a bigger field, and a bigger ball. it's a better game.
	6:37pm Carmichael: And guys running forward before the snap!
	6:38pm -Ken: XFL was the WWF's off-season football league.
	6:38pm Carmichael: Arena football is an interesting concept.
	6:39pm cory: oh yeah, that one
	6:39pm Carmichael: Trump was also an owner of a USFL football team (via daddy's money).
	6:40pm cory: hope Dale Jr. gets a mention
	6:40pm glenn: i think everybody knows why they're taking the knee. the problem is, the dumbass fans either don't care, or are filled with seething rage over them uppity negroes being uppity.
	6:41pm cory: glenn, my uncle doesn't.
	6:43pm glenn: and to be sure, not every n.f.l. fan is a dumbass. this is trump dog whistling to his base again.
	6:44pm -Ken: The USFL led directly to Trump's presidency, according to wikipedia: The collapse of the USFL had a particularly positive effect on the NFL's Buffalo Bills. The Bills, as a small-market NFL franchise, were particularly hard-hit by the USFL; as its players from the moderately successful early 1980s era aged, the team was unable to find quality replacements for them on the free agent market, as the USFL was drawing away much of pro football's top talent (including Bills running back Joe Cribbs and the team's planned franchise quarterback of the future, Jim Kelly). With subpar talent, the Bills went 4–28 over the course of 1984 and 1985, and average attendance at Rich Stadium plummeted to under 30,000 fans per game, putting the team's long-term viability in jeopardy. When the USFL collapsed, the Bills signed a large number of former USFL players: Kelly, Kent Hull, Ray Bentley, special teams coach Bruce DeHaven, general manager Bill Polian and coach Marv Levy, which, combined with the high draft picks compiled during the USFL years, would allow the Bills to rise to perennial Super Bowl contenders by the early 1990s. In 2014, after founding owner Ralph Wilson died, Trump tried to purchase the Bills, but was largely rebuffed in favor of Terry Pegula due to his past ties to the USFL; Trump's failure to purchase the Bills was a major factor in his ultimately successful decision to run for President of the United States the next year.[30]
	6:45pm Carmichael: I'll never watch football again ...
	6:45pm Bad bob: @glenn-The vast majority seem to be to me.... I'm a barfly but I stay home this time of year
	6:47pm glenn: i personally can't watch the n.f.l.. it bores me.
	6:49pm cory: football is better than baseball, but that isn't saying much. (if you subtract the massive brain damage)
	6:50pm cory: i want to play this game
	6:51pm glenn: megyn kelly is an ignorant twat. there, i said it.
	6:54pm cory: The Dollop did a really good show around the time of Ferguson about housing discrimination
	6:56pm Fox: This is hysterical. I fucking hate Tony Robbins.
	6:58pm cory: great show, i want more.
	6:58pm glenn: tony robbins makes harold robbins look good.
	6:59pm glenn: that said, a stone for danny fisher is one of the great american novels.
	6:59pm melinda: I had to go kill wasps outside and missed the intro to this, it sounds like they're guessing if the quote if from Hitler or Tony Robbins? haha
	7:00pm glenn: even though it was turned into a bad elvis movie.
	7:00pm cory: i thought all the elvis movies were bad?
	7:00pm -Ken: Night all!
