	10:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Kris. Sorry I missed the show last week. I passed out after wandering around NYC all day. I was listening to that show earlier today and was struck by Misa’s heartfelt mashup of O Tanenbaum & O Canada and thought I heard you attempt to pronounce chutzpah in regards to her performance. If that’s correct, it was worse than your attempt at apogee. I see my fellow listeners were too polite to say anything but I felt it my duty to point it out. Looking forward to the show.
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: hahahahaha, yep, chutzpah may have been muttered! Hope you enjoyed NYC.
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: Misa says "thanks Matt" & that she is the winner & I lose lol
	10:08pm Matt from New Orleans: It was good. The weather stayed relatively mild all week so was happy. I went to a James Brown DJ tribute night which was a lot of fun. Hadn’t really heard Mr Brown on a good system before. DJ Suspect from Paris was in town and put together a really tight set which some solid turntablism and live mixing. It was nice to see my family and an old friend who I hadn’t seen in ten years or so.
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: Nice
	10:12pm Matt from New Orleans: I was supposed to go see Durand Jones open for the Revivalists tonight but feeling under the weather and just couldn’t deal with going downtown on New Years. My friend and works at the new Fillmore at the Harrahs so I was on the guest list. So at least I didn’t throw away a bunch of money.
	10:14pm Kris Holmes: I can only imagine the shitshow that is the area around Harrahs on NYE, I'd pass on that too!!
	10:15pm chresti: happy new year! We are at my sons place in SF
	10:16pm Kris Holmes: Happy New Year guys!!!
	10:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Chresti.
	10:18pm Carmichael: Also having pizza! Heya Kris, ready to start a big fire and dance in the smoke.
	10:19pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s been going nuts for hours and will continue into tomorrow. You can’t buy them in Orleans Parish but there’s about five stores in Gretna on the West Bank right past the parish line.
	10:23pm Matt from New Orleans: Still off on the pronunciation. You can repeat after the recording. www.merriam-webster.com...
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: yeah, nah, hehehehe
	10:33pm Carmichael: Heard of Thee Midnighters via Lis Lobos.
	10:35pm Matt from New Orleans: Made a huge pot of black eyed peas and another huge pot of collards to bring over to my friend’s tomorrow to watch Michigan Alabama with a bunch of people. I have no interest in the pointless football game but will enjoy eating my meaty beans and greens.
	10:36pm Carmichael: My wife told me about black eyed peas and the new year. Being Irish, I had no clue.
	10:40pm Carmichael: 7:38 pm, first boom of the night. Either M80 or gunshot. Dogs don’t like it.
	10:55pm Matt from New Orleans: I read the Booker T book last week and dug it.
	10:58pm Kris Holmes: It's on my too read shelf, i'm looking forward to it
	10:58pm Kris Holmes: *to read
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: It was on the shelf at the library near my parents and I saw it when I went to borrow some games for my switch. I spent more time reading the book than playing any of the games. I wish the library here would buy video games for borrowing.
	11:02pm Carmichael: Doing the Ed Grimley spazz dance!
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: The book has made a few "best of 2019" lists that i've seen
	11:09pm Carmichael: Tinker to Evers to Chance.
	11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Kris there’s an organization called SABR, Society of American Baseball Research, that has been around for almost 50 years. Their name was used to create the word sabermetrics which is the empirical study of Baseball.
	11:14pm Kris Holmes: Ahhhhhhh
	11:17pm Carmichael: My dad (and I) are from Ireland, and he buried himself in baseball minutiae. That’s how I know about Satchel Paige, Nap Lajoie and the Philadelphia A’s million dollar infield. Obscure stuff.
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: There was a period of time where I considered working in baseball but the late 90s were not a time that most baseball organizations embraced the research being done by people like Bill James. Now it’s a much different story but I’ve moved on. I used to write stats based articles and blog posts in the mid to late 90s for various defunct entities.
	11:21pm Kris Holmes: Fascinating
	11:25pm Matt from New Orleans: Did you you pull out one of the B boxes?
	11:27pm Kris Holmes: I was wondering how long til you noticed
	11:27pm Kris Holmes: i think i'm around about where we were up to
	11:34pm Matt from New Orleans: Tire rentals are new to me but then again I’ve never owned a car.
	11:57pm Carmichael: Ya Jackie!
	12:00am Michael 98145: Happy New Year, Friends
	12:00am Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris. Happy New Years everyone.
	12:01am Kris Holmes: Thanks everyone. Happy New Year!
	🥁 11:19am WR: Your last of 2019, my first listen of 2020. Cheers.
